RISK FACTORS

Prior to making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of the Notes should consider carefully, in the
light of the circumstances and their investment objectives, all the information contained in this Prospectus.
Prospective purchasers should nevertheless consider, among other things, the investment considerations relating
to the Latvian banking sector and the Issuer not normally associated with investments in other countries and
other issuers, including those set out below.

General risks related to the banking business carried on by the Group


Exposure to Latvian Economic Risk
Since as at 31 December 2005 57.0% of the loans made by the Bank and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘‘Group’’)
were to Latvian corporate borrowers, a general Latvian economic downturn or instability in certain sectors of the
Latvian or regional economy could have an adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of
operations.

Competition
Because approximately 90% of the Group’s income originates from its Latvian customers and approximately
90% of its assets are in Latvia, the competition that most significantly affects the Group is that which is faced by
the Bank in Latvia. The Bank is subject to competition in Latvia from both domestic and foreign banks. As at 31
December 2005, there were a total of 22 domestic banks in Latvia, one branch of a foreign bank and five
representative offices of foreign banks. Although there are still a relatively large number of banks in Latvia, there
is significant concentration as the three largest banks in terms of assets, AS Hansabanka, AS SEB Latvijas
Unibanka and the Bank, account for more than 50% of the total banking sector’s assets. The Bank faces its
strongest competition from the other two large banks. Foreign-owned institutions may, through their
shareholders, have significantly greater resources and access to cheaper funding than the Bank. These banks
may also be able to leverage the international experience of their shareholders and may therefore prove more
attractive to the larger domestic corporate customers and foreign companies operating in Latvia. To this extent,
the Bank may be at a competitive disadvantage, particularly in relation to corporate customers, and its results of
operations may be adversely affected by this competition.

Capital Adequacy
The Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practises (the ‘‘Basle Committee’’) has set
international standards for capital adequacy for banks. The minimum capital adequacy ratio recommended by the
1988 Basle Committee guidelines is 8%. The Group’s capital adequacy ratio under the Basle Committee
guidelines was 11.7% and 12.2% as at 31 December 2005 and 2004, respectively, and the Bank’s capital
adequacy ratio under the same guidelines was 12.2% and 12.8% as at 31 December 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Latvian Financial and Capital Market Commission (the ‘‘FCMC’’), as the banking regulator, requires
Latvian commercial banks to maintain a capital adequacy ratio based on financial statements prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘IFRS’’) at 8% of risk-weighted assets. The
Group’s capital adequacy ratio under the FCMC requirements was 11.1% and 11.9% as at 31 December 2005 and
2004, respectively. The Bank’s capital adequacy ratio under the FCMC requirements was 11.7% and 12.5% as at
31 December 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As such, as at 31 December 2005, the capital adequacy level maintained by the Group and the Bank significantly
exceeds the minimum requirements set out by the FCMC and the Basle Committee. However, if the level of the
Group’s portfolio of loans to customers continues to grow significantly and the Bank fails to generate sufficient
level of profits to ensure consistent growth in equity through retained earnings, the Bank may need to raise new
capital to maintain the capital adequacy ratios set by the FCMC.

Any failure by the Bank and the Group to maintain certain capital adequacy ratios could lead to the imposition of
sanctions by the FCMC, which could have an adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations and financial
condition.

Liquidity Risks
The Group, like other commercial banks in Latvia and elsewhere, is exposed to maturity mismatches between its
assets and liabilities, which could lead to lack of liquidity at certain times. At 31 December 2005, the Group had a
negative cumulative maturity gap for a one month period. Although the Group believes that its level of access to
domestic and international interbank markets and its liquidity risk management policy, which includes

6
maintaining liquidity reserves sufficient to meet the Group’s liquidity needs for a certain period, allow and will
continue to allow the Group to meet its short-term and long-term liquidity needs, any maturity mismatches
between the Group’s assets and liabilities (including by reason of the withdrawal of large deposits) may have an
adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. See ‘‘Financial Review – Risk Management –
Liquidity Risk’’.

Interest Rate Risks


The Group is exposed to risks resulting from mismatches between the interest rates on its interest bearing
liabilities and interest-earning assets. While the Group monitors its interest rate sensitivity by analysing the
composition of its assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, any significant and
unanticipated interest rate movements may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects of the Group. See ‘‘Financial Review – Risk Management – Interest Rate
Risk’’.

Foreign Currency Risk


The Group is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and
cash flows. Although the Group is subject to limits on its open currency positions pursuant to FCMC regulations
and the Group’s internal policies, future changes in currency exchange rates and the volatility of the LVL may
adversely affect the Group’s foreign currency positions. Although the Group uses a number of currency hedging
arrangements, no assurances can be given that such hedging arrangements will be available or sufficient for the
Group’s future operations reflecting the under-developed nature of the currency hedging market in Latvia when
compared with more mature markets.

Risks specific to the Bank


Dependence on Key Personnel
The Group’s success in growing its business will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to attract, retain and
motivate qualified and skilled personnel. The Group relies on its senior management for the implementation of its
strategy and operation of its day-to-day activities. As competition for skilled personnel, especially on the senior
management level, is intense, the Group seeks to further develop its remuneration levels and to take other
measures to attract and motivate skilled personnel. If the Group is unable to retain key members of its senior
management and cannot hire new qualified personnel in a timely manner, its business and results of operations
could be adversely affected. Competition in Latvia for personnel with relevant expertise is intense due to a
disproportionately low number of available qualified and/or experienced individuals compared to demand. The
Group’s failure to manage successfully its personnel needs could adversely affect the Group’s business and
results of operations.

Proprietary Trading
The Group engages in various trading activities on its own account. The amount of fixed income trading
securities held by the Group as at 31 December 2005 was LVL 24.2 million (6.6% of the combined trading and
available for sale fixed income portfolio of the Group). Proprietary trading involves risk. Although the Group
principally undertakes proprietary trading activities with a view to hedging its liquidity risk in relation to its loan
portfolio (see ‘‘Financial Review – Results of Operations for the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2004 – Net
Profit from Trading Activities’’), future proprietary trading results may be significantly affected by market
conditions and could result in losses, which could have an adverse affect on the Group’s financial condition and
results of operations.

International Operations
Certain existing investments of the Group are in markets which may be susceptible to adverse developments. Any
international expansion, particularly into markets that remain in the relatively early stages of development and
which are more susceptible to fiscal and economic crises, may expose the Group to additional risks.

Loan Portfolio Growth


The Group’s net loans and advances have increased rapidly in recent years, most recently growing by 27% in
2005 to LVL 879 million as at 31 December 2005. The significant increase in the loan portfolio size in recent
years has increased the Group’s credit exposure. In addition, the Group’s strategy of further diversifying its
customer base, including through increased lending to medium and small corporate clients and retail customers,
may also increase the credit risk exposure in the Group’s loan portfolio. Failure to manage growth and

7
development successfully and to maintain the quality of its assets could have an adverse effect on the Group’s
financial condition and results of operations.

Concentration of Lending Base


As at 31 December 2005, the Group’s 10 major borrowers accounted for 22% of the total loan portfolio,
compared to 23% as at 31 December 2004. Any default by one or more of these borrowers could have an adverse
effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

Ownership concentration/Change of control


The Bank’s principal beneficial shareholders are Mr. Valery Kargin and Mr. Viktor Krasovitsky (the ‘‘Principal
Shareholders’’). They each hold 42.89 per cent. of the Bank’s share capital, making their aggregate holding over
85 per cent. of the Bank’s share capital. By virtue of such shareholding, the Principal Shareholders have the
ability jointly to influence the Bank’s business significantly through their ability to control actions which require
shareholder approval. If circumstances were to arise where the interests of the Principal Shareholders conflict
with the interests of the Noteholders, Noteholders could be disadvantaged by any such conflict, as the Principal
Shareholders could take actions contrary to the Noteholders’ interests.

Non-Resident Deposits
The majority of the Group’s deposit customers are not resident in Latvia. As at 31 December 2005, the Group
held LVL 929.6 million of deposits from corporate and other customers which were reported and recorded as
non-resident in Latvia, or 70.5% of the total deposits, compared with LVL 388.3 million of deposits from Latvian
resident customers. In practice, a number of these deposits are made by the Group’s Latvian corporate customers
through non-resident branches or subsidiaries. In 2005, deposits from Latvian corporate and private clients grew
by 22%, whilst non-resident deposits grew by 18%. If a change in circumstances occurs, including changes
relating to law or economic policy of either Latvia or other relevant countries from where the deposits are made,
this may encourage such customers to withdraw their funds from the Group. If such withdrawals were to occur
within a relatively short period of time, it could cause liquidity difficulties for the Group together with the loss of
a significant source of funding, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and
results of operations.

Transactions with Related Parties


As at 31 December 2005, loans and advances by the Group to related parties totalled LVL 25.2 million, or 2.8%
of the Group’s total gross loan portfolio. As at 31 December 2005 the Group held deposits amounting to LVL
43.6 million from related parties or 3.3% of total deposits held by the Group.

Risk Management Systems


Risk management systems describe the risks of measurement and monitoring of the Group’s exposure to
liquidity, interest rate, foreign exchange and other market risks and how the Group is tackling the problem, if any.

Management of these risks also requires substantial resources. Although the Group believes that it has policies
and procedures in place to measure, monitor and manage liquidity and market risks, maturity mismatches or any
significant volatility in interest rate movements, exchange rates or commodity market prices could have a
material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, foreign currency positions and
prospects of the Group.

Risks related to the Notes


Credit rating
The Issuer’s long-term unsubordinated foreign currency debt has been assigned a rating of BB+ by Fitch Ratings
Ltd. Its long-term deposit rating from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. is Ba1. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any
time by the assigning rating agency. Any adverse change in an applicable credit rating could adversely affect the
trading price for the Notes.

Absence of Trading Market for the Notes


Although application has been made to admit the Notes to the Official List of the UKLA and to trading on the
gilt-edged and fixed interest market of the London Stock Exchange, prior to the offering of the Notes, there has
been no existing market for the Notes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market

8
that may develop for the Notes, the ability of holders of the Notes to sell their Notes or the price at which such
holders would be able to sell Notes. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be
sustained. In addition, the liquidity of any market for the Notes will depend on the number of holders of the
Notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Notes and other factors. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the Notes.

EU savings directive
Under EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, Member States of the European
Union (‘‘Member States’’) are required, from 1 July, 2005, to provide to the tax authorities of another Member
State details of payments of interest (or similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to an individual
resident in that other Member State. However, for a transitional period, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg are
instead required (unless during that period they elect otherwise) to operate a withholding system in relation to
such payments (the ending of such transitional period being dependent upon the conclusion of certain other
agreements relating to information exchange with certain other countries). A number of non-EU countries and
territories including Switzerland have agreed to adopt similar measures (a withholding system in the case of
Switzerland) with effect from the same date.

If, following implementation of this Directive, a payment were to be made or collected through a Member State
which has opted for a withholding system and an amount of, or in respect of tax were to be withheld from that
payment, neither the Issuer nor any Paying Agent nor any other person would be obliged to pay additional
amounts with respect to any Note as a result of the imposition of such withholding tax. If a withholding tax is
imposed on payment made by a Paying Agent following implementation of this Directive, the Issuer will be
required to maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant
to the Directive.

Taxation
The principal taxes payable by Latvian companies include corporate income tax, value-added tax, social security
contributions, excise duties, real estate tax, customs tax, natural resources tax and withholding taxes.

It is possible that tax laws or the interpretation of existing laws may change in such a way that the Bank’s
profitability and financial condition may be adversely affected.

9
ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN JUDGMENTS

The Issuer and substantially all of its assets are located in the Republic of Latvia. In addition, most of the
directors and officers of the Issuer are residents of the Republic of Latvia and substantially all of their personal
assets are located in the Republic of Latvia. As a result, it may be difficult for foreign investors of various
jurisdictions to effect service of process in the same manner as in their own jurisdiction on the Issuer or its
directors or officers in connection with any lawsuits against the Issuer or such persons related to the Notes.
Furthermore, foreign investors may have difficulties enforcing judgments of foreign courts against the Issuer or
its directors or officers in the Republic of Latvia.

The Republic of Latvia is a signatory to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of
Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958. Arbitration awards in countries that are signatories are enforceable in the
Republic of Latvia subject to this convention and certain other limitations (including applicable provisions of
Latvian law). The Notes provide for arbitration for the enforcement of any claims.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

The following is the text of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes which (subject to completion and amendment)
will be endorsed on each Individual Note Certificate and will be attached and (subject to the provisions thereof)
apply to the Global Notes.

The EUR 200,000,000 5.625 per cent. Notes due 5 May 2011 (the ‘‘Notes’’, which expression includes any
further notes issued pursuant to Condition 13 (Further issues) and forming a single series therewith) of SC Parex
banka (the ‘‘Issuer’’) are the subject of a fiscal agency agreement dated 5 May 2006 (as amended or
supplemented from time to time, the ‘‘Agency Agreement’’) between the Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as
fiscal agent (the ‘‘Fiscal Agent’’, which expression includes any successor fiscal agent appointed from time to
time in connection with the Notes), J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A. as registrar (the ‘‘Registrar’’, which
expression includes any successor registrar appointed from time to time in connection with the Notes), the
transfer agents named therein (together with the Registrar, the ‘‘Transfer Agents’’, which expression includes
any successor or additional transfer agents appointed from time to time in connection with the Notes) and the
paying agents named therein (together with the Fiscal Agent, the ‘‘Paying Agents’’, which expression includes
any successor or additional paying agents appointed from time to time in connection with the Notes). References
herein to the ‘‘Agents’’ are to the Registrar, the Fiscal Agent, the other Transfer Agents and the other Paying
Agents and any reference to an ‘‘Agent’’ is to any one of them.

Certain provisions of these terms and conditions (the ‘‘Conditions’’) are summaries of the Agency Agreement
and subject to its detailed provisions. Noteholders are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by, and are deemed to
have notice of, all the provisions of the Agency Agreement applicable to them.

Copies of the Agency Agreement are available for inspection by Noteholders during normal business hours at the
Specified Offices (as defined in the Agency Agreement) of each of the Paying Agents, the initial Specified Offices
of which are set out below.

1. FORM AND DENOMINATION; REGISTER, TITLE AND TRANSFERS


(a) Form and denomination: The Notes are in registered form and are issued in amounts of
EUR 50,000 and integral multiples of EUR 1,000 in excess thereof (each, an ‘‘Authorised
Holding’’).

(b) Register: The Issuer shall procure that the Registrar will maintain a register (the ‘‘Register’’) in
respect of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement. In these
Conditions the ‘‘holder’’ of a Note means the person in whose name such Note is for the time
being registered in the Register (or, in the case of a joint holding, the first named thereof) and
‘‘Noteholder’’ shall be construed accordingly. A certificate (each a ‘‘Note Certificate’’) will be
issued to each Noteholder in respect of its registered holding. Each Note Certificate will be serially
numbered with an identifying number which will be recorded in the Register.

(c) Title: The holder of each Note shall (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as the
absolute owner of such Note for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any
notice of ownership, trust or any other interest therein, any writing on the Note Certificate relating
thereto (other than the endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft of such
Note Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating such holder. No person shall have any
right to enforce any term or condition of the Notes under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties)
Act 1999.

(d) Transfers: Subject as provided below in this paragraph (d) and in paragraphs (g) and (h) below, a
Note may be transferred upon surrender of the relevant Note Certificate, with the endorsed form of
transfer duly completed, at the Specified Office of the Registrar or any other Transfer Agent,
together with such evidence as the Registrar or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require to
prove the title of the transferor and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form of
transfer; provided, however, that a Note may not be transferred unless the principal amount of
Notes transferred and (where not all of the Notes held by a holder are being transferred) the
principal amount of the balance of Notes not transferred are Authorised Holdings. Where not all
the Notes represented by the surrendered Note Certificate are the subject of the transfer, a new
Note Certificate in respect of the balance of the Notes will be issued to the transferor.

14
(e) Registration and delivery of Note Certificates: Within five business days of the surrender of a Note
Certificate in accordance with paragraph (d) above, the Registrar will register the transfer in
question and deliver a new Note Certificate of a like principal amount to the Notes transferred to
each relevant holder at its specified office or (at the request and risk of such relevant holder) by
uninsured first class mail (airmail if overseas) to the address specified for the purpose by such
relevant holder. In this paragraph, ‘‘business day’’ means a day on which commercial banks are
open for business (including dealings in foreign currencies) in the city where the Registrar and, if
different, the relevant Transfer Agent has its specified office.

(f) No charge: The transfer of a Note will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the
Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent but against such indemnity as the Issuer, the Registrar or
(as the case may be) the Transfer Agent may require in respect of any tax or other duty of
whatsoever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such transfer.

(g) Closed Periods: Noteholders may not require transfers to be registered during the period of 15
days ending on the due date for any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes.

(h) Regulations concerning transfers and registration: All transfers of Notes and entries on the
Register are subject to the detailed regulations concerning the transfer of Notes scheduled to the
Agency Agreement. The regulations may be changed by the Issuer with the agreement of the
Registrar. A copy of the current regulations will be mailed (free of charge) by the Registrar to any
Noteholder who requests in writing a copy of such regulations.

2. STATUS
The Notes constitute direct, general and unconditional obligations of the Issuer which will at all times
rank pari passu among themselves and at least pari passu with all other present and future unsecured
obligations of the Issuer, save for such obligations as may be preferred by law.

3. NEGATIVE PLEDGE
(a) Applicable Negative Pledge: Prior to the redemption of the EUR 100,000,000 4.375 per cent.
Notes due 9 June 2008 (the ‘‘Existing Notes’’), the negative pledge applicable to the Notes shall
be the existing negative pledge (the ‘‘Existing Negative Pledge’’) set-out in Condition 3(b)
(Existing Negative Pledge). Following the redemption of the Existing Notes, the Existing Negative
Pledge will continue to apply to the Notes unless and until a Rating Adjustment Event occurs. In
such a case, the negative pledge applicable to the Notes (‘‘Applicable Negative Pledge’’) shall
become the alternative negative pledge (the ‘‘Alternative Negative Pledge’’) set-out in Condition
3(d) (Alternative Negative Pledge) with effect on and from the Negative Pledge Adjustment Date.
For this purpose, a ‘‘Rating Adjustment Event’’ means that the long-term unsubordinated debt or
deposit ratings assigned to the Issuer both are or both become investment grade in accordance with
the table below. If neither Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (‘‘Moody’s’’) nor Fitch Ratings
(‘‘Fitch’’) has assigned such a rating to the Notes following the redemption of the Existing Notes,
the Issuer will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that another internationally recognised rating
agency provides such a rating for the Issuer (each, a ‘‘Substitute Agency’’).

Investment Grade Ratings Category


Moody’s Fitch Substitute Agency

Baa3 or higher BBB- or higher Its equivalent of Baa3/BBB- or higher

The ‘‘Negative Pledge Adjustment Date’’ is the first Business Day following the Rating
Adjustment Date (determined by reference to Central European Time). If there is a change to the
Applicable Negative Pledge, the Issuer will notify the London Stock Exchange and the UKLA.

The ‘‘Rating Adjustment Date’’ is the date on which the Existing Notes are redeemed if at the
time both of the long-term unsubordinated debt or deposit ratings assigned to the Issuer by
Moody’s and Fitch (or, if either Moody’s or Fitch no longer assigns such a rating, the remaining
agency which does provide such a rating and the Substitute Agency) are investment grade or, if
this is not the case, such later date on which Moody’s and Fitch or either of them and the
Substitute Agency (as the case may be) have announced that the long-term unsubordinated debt or
deposit rating assigned by it to the Issuer has become investment grade.

15
In the event that either Moody’s or Fitch or a Substitute Agency fails to or ceases to assign a rating
to the Issuer’s senior unsecured debt, the ratings assigned by the remaining rating agency shall be
deemed also to be the ratings assigned by the other rating agency.

(b) Existing Negative Pledge: So long as any Note remains outstanding (as defined in the Agency
Agreement), the Issuer shall not, and the Issuer shall procure that none of its Principal Subsidiaries
will, create or permit to subsist any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Security Interest)
upon the whole or any part of its present or future undertaking, assets or revenues (including
uncalled capital) to secure any Indebtedness or any Guarantee of Indebtedness, without (a) at the
same time or prior thereto securing the Notes equally and rateably therewith or (b) providing such
other security for the Notes as may be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the
Agency Agreement) of Noteholders.

applicable to this Condition 3(b) only, in these Conditions:

Reconstruction and Development, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,

Indebtedness and such Security Interest is not extended to cover any property not
previously subject to such Security Interest; and

(xv) any Security Interest that does not fall within paragraphs (i) to (xiv) above and that secures

without (a) at the same time or prior thereto securing the Notes equally and rateably therewith or

18
In this Condition 3(d):

(i) any Security Interest created or outstanding upon any property or assets (including current
and/or future revenues, accounts receivables and other payments) of the Issuer or any
Principal Subsidiary arising out of any securitisation of such property or assets or other
similar structured finance transaction in relation to such property or assets where the
primary source of payment of any obligations secured by such property or assets is the
proceeds of such property or assets (or where the payment of such obligations is otherwise
supported by such property or assets) and where recourse to the Issuer or the Principal
Subsidiary, as the case may be, in respect of such obligations does not extend to defaults by
the obligors in relation to such property or assets;

(ii) any Security Interest created by a company which is acquired by the Issuer after the date of
issue of the Notes provided that such Security Interest was created prior to the date of
acquisition:

(iii) any Security Interest arising pursuant to applicable legislation in any jurisdiction in which
the Issuer or a Principal Subsidiary carries on business over a pool of assets (including, but
not limited to, mortgage loans and public sector bonds) and securing any issue of debt
securities issued by the Issuer or any of its Principal Subsidiaries; and

(iv) any Security Interest arising out of the refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding of any
Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Security Interest, provided that such Security Interest
is itself a Permitted Security Interest; and

‘‘Relevant Indebtedness’’ means any Indebtedness which is in the form of or represented by any
bond, note, debenture, debenture stock, loan stock, certificate or other instrument which is, or is
capable of being, listed, quoted or traded on any stock exchange or in any securities market
(including, without limitation, any over-the-counter market).

4. INTEREST
The Notes bear interest from 5 May 2006 (the ‘‘Issue Date’’), at the rate of 5.625 per cent. per annum, (the
‘‘Rate of Interest’’) payable in arrear on 5 May in each year (each, an ‘‘Interest Payment Date’’),
subject as provided in Condition 6 (Payments).

Each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation,
payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, in which case it will continue to bear interest at
such rate (both before and after judgment) until whichever is the earlier of (a) the day on which all sums
due in respect of such Note up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Noteholder and (b)
the day which is seven days after the Fiscal Agent has notified the Noteholders that it has received all
sums due in respect of the Notes up to such seventh day (except to the extent that there is any subsequent
default in payment).

The amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date shall be EUR 56.25 per EUR 1,000
principal amount of Notes. If interest is required to be paid in respect of a Note on any other date, it shall
be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the principal amount of such Note, multiplying the
product by the relevant Day Count Fraction and rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a
cent being rounded upwards), where:

‘‘Day Count Fraction’’ means, in respect of any period, the number of days in the relevant period, from
(and including) the first day in such period to (but excluding) the last day in such period, divided by the
number of days in the Regular Period in which the relevant period falls; and

‘‘Regular Period’’ means each period from (and including) the Issue Date or any Interest Payment Date
to (but excluding) the next Interest Payment Date.

19
5. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE
(a) Scheduled redemption: Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be
redeemed at their principal amount on 5 May 2011, subject as provided in Condition 6 (Payments).

(b) Redemption for tax reasons: The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but
not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Noteholders
(which notice shall be irrevocable), at their principal amount, together with interest accrued to the
date fixed for redemption, if:

(i) the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to
in Condition 7 (Taxation) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or
regulations of the Republic of Latvia or any political subdivision or any authority thereof
or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of
such laws or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which
change or amendment becomes effective on or after 5 May 2006; and

(ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it;

provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to
the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment
in respect of the Notes were then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Fiscal Agent:

(A) a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect
such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred; and

(B) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer
has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or
amendment.

Upon the expiry of any such notice as is referred to in this Condition 5(b), the Issuer shall be
bound to redeem the Notes in accordance with this Condition 5(b).

(c) No other redemption: The Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Notes otherwise than as
provided in paragraphs (a) (Scheduled Redemption) and (b) (Redemption for tax reasons) above.

(d) Purchase: The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may at any time purchase Notes in the open market
or otherwise and at any price.

(e) Cancellation: All Notes so redeemed or purchased by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall be
cancelled and may not be reissued or resold.

6. PAYMENTS
(a) Principal: Payments of principal shall be made by Euro cheque drawn on or, upon application by a
Holder of a Note to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent not later than the fifteenth day before
the due date for any such payment, by transfer to a Euro account (or other account to which Euro
may be credited or transferred) maintained by the payee with, a bank in a city in which banks have
access to the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer (TARGET)
system (the ‘‘TARGET System’’) and (in the case of redemption) upon surrender (or, in the case
of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Note Certificates at the Specified Office of any
Paying Agent.

(b) Interest: Payments of interest shall be made by Euro cheque drawn on, or upon application by a
Holder of a Note to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent not later than the fifteenth day before
the due date for any such payment, by transfer to a Euro account (or other account to which Euro
may be credited or transferred) maintained by the payee with, a bank in a city in which banks have
access to the TARGET System and (in the case of interest payable on redemption) upon surrender
(or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Note Certificates at the
Specified Office of any Paying Agent.

20
(c) Payments subject to fiscal laws: All payments in respect of the Notes are subject in all cases to any
applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the
provisions of Condition 7 (Taxation). No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the
Noteholders in respect of such payments.

(d) Payments on business days: Where payment is to be made by transfer to a Euro account (or other
account to which Euro may be credited or transferred), payment instructions (for value the due
date or, if the due date is not a business day, for value the next succeeding business day) will be
initiated and, where payment is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed (i) (in the case of
payments of principal and interest payable on redemption) on the later of the due date for payment
and the day on which the relevant Note Certificate is surrendered (or, in the case of part payment
only, endorsed) at the Specified Office of a Paying Agent and (ii) (in the case of payments of
interest payable other than on redemption) on the due date for payment. A Holder of a Note shall
not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of any delay in payment resulting from
(A) the due date for a payment not being a business day or (B) a cheque mailed in accordance with
this Condition 6 (Payments) arriving after the due date for payment or being lost in the mail. In
this paragraph ‘‘business day’’ means:

(a) in the case of payment by transfer to a Euro account (or other account to which Euro may
be credited or transferred) as referred to above, any day which is a TARGET Settlement
Day; and

(b) in the case of surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of a Note
Certificate, any day on which banks are open for general business (including dealings in
foreign currencies) in the place in which the Note Certificate is surrendered (or, as the case
may be, endorsed); and

(c) ‘‘TARGET Settlement Day’’ means a day on which the TARGET System is open.

(e) Partial payments: If a Paying Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note, the Issuer
shall procure that the amount and date of such payment are noted on the Register and, in the case
of partial payment upon presentation of a Note Certificate, that a statement indicating the amount
and the date of such payment is endorsed on the relevant Note Certificate.

(f) Record date: Each payment in respect of a Note will be made to the person shown as the Holder in
the Register at the opening of business in the place of the Registrar’s Specified Office on the
fifteenth day before the due date for such payment (the ‘‘Record Date’’). Where payment in
respect of a Note is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed to the address shown as the
address of the Holder in the Register at the opening of business on the relevant Record Date.

7. TAXATION
All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be made
free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes,
duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by or on behalf of the Republic of Latvia or any political subdivision thereof or any authority
therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In that event the Issuer shall pay such additional
amounts as will result in receipt by the Noteholders after such withholding or deduction of such amounts
as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no
such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note:

(a) held by a holder which is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in
respect of such Note by reason of its having some connection with the Republic of Latvia other
than the mere holding of the Note; or

(b) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to
be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

(c) held by a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting
the relevant Note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or

21
(d) where (in the case of a payment of principal or interest on redemption) the relevant Note
Certificate is surrendered for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the
extent that the relevant holder would have been entitled to such additional amounts if it had
surrendered the relevant Note Certificate on the last day of such period of 30 days.

In these Conditions, ‘‘Relevant Date’’ means whichever is the later of (1) the date on which the payment
in question first becomes due and (2) if the full amount payable has not been received in a city in which
banks have access to the TARGET System by the Fiscal Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on
which (the full amount having been so received) notice to that effect has been given to the Noteholders.

Any reference in these Conditions to principal or interest shall be deemed to include any additional
amounts in respect of principal or interest (as the case may be) which may be payable under this
Condition 7 (Taxation).

If the Issuer becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than the Republic of Latvia,
references in these Conditions to the Republic of Latvia shall be construed as references to the Republic
of Latvia and/or (as the case may be) such other jurisdiction.

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If any of the following events occurs:

(a) Non-payment: the Issuer fails to pay any amount of interest in respect of the Notes within 5
business days of the due date for payment thereof; or

(b) Breach of other obligations: the Issuer defaults in the performance or observance of any of its
other obligations under or in respect of the Notes and such default remains unremedied for 30 days

then any Note may, by written notice addressed by the holder thereof to the Issuer and delivered to the
Issuer or to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent, be declared immediately due and payable, whereupon
it shall become immediately due and payable at its principal amount together with accrued interest
without further action or formality.

9. PRESCRIPTION
Claims for principal and interest upon redemption shall become void unless the relevant Note Certificates
are presented for payment within ten years of the appropriate Relevant Date.

10. REPLACEMENT OF NOTE CERTIFICATES


If any Note Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the Specified
Office of the Registrar, subject to all applicable laws and stock exchange requirements, upon payment by
the claimant of the expenses incurred in connection with such replacement and on such terms as to
evidence, security, indemnity and otherwise as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced
Notes Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

11. AGENTS
In acting under the Agency Agreement and in connection with the Notes, the Agents act solely as agents
of the Issuer and do not assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any
of the Noteholders.

23
The initial Agents and their initial Specified Offices are listed below. The Issuer reserves the right at any
time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Agent and to appoint a successor fiscal agent and/or
registrar and additional or successor paying agents and/or transfer agents; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall at all times maintain (a) a fiscal agent and a registrar (which may be the same entity), (b) a
paying agent and a transfer agent (which may be the same entity as the fiscal agent and the registrar)
having its Specified Office in London and (c), a paying agent in a member state of the European Union
that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC
or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, such Directive.

Notice of any change in any of the Agents or in their Specified Offices shall promptly be given to the
Noteholders.

12. MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS; MODIFICATION


(a) Meetings of Noteholders: The Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of
Noteholders to consider matters relating to the Notes, including the modification of any provision
of these Conditions. Any such modification may be made if sanctioned by an Extraordinary
Resolution. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer and shall be convened by it upon the
request in writing of Noteholders holding not less than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes. The quorum at any meeting convened to vote on an Extraordinary
Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing one more than half of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or, at any adjourned meeting, two or more
persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the principal amount of the Notes held or
represented; provided, however, that certain proposals (including any proposal to change any date
fixed for payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes, to reduce the amount of principal
or interest payable on any date in respect of the Notes, to alter the method of calculating the
amount of any payment in respect of the Notes or the date for any such payment, to change the
currency of payments under the Notes or to change the quorum requirements relating to meetings
or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution (each, a ‘‘Reserved Matter’’)) may
only be sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders at which
two or more persons holding or representing not less than three-quarters or, at any adjourned
meeting, one quarter of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes form a quorum.
Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed at any such meeting shall be binding on all the
Noteholders, whether present or not.

(b) Modification: The Notes and these Conditions may be amended without the consent of the
Noteholders to correct a manifest error. In addition, the parties to the Agency Agreement may
agree to modify any provision thereof, but the Issuer shall not agree, without the consent of the
Noteholders, to any such modification unless it is of a formal, minor or technical nature, it is made
to correct a manifest error or it is, in the opinion of such parties, not materially prejudicial to the
interests of the Noteholders.

13. FURTHER ISSUES


The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Noteholders, create and issue further notes
having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the first
payment of interest) so as to form a single series with the Notes.

14. NOTICES
Notices to the Noteholders will be sent to them by first class mail (or its equivalent) or (if posted to an
overseas address) by airmail at their respective addresses on the Register. Any such notice shall be
deemed to have been given on the fourth day after the date of mailing.

24
15. CURRENCY INDEMNITY
If any sum due from the Issuer in respect of the Notes or any order or judgment given or made in relation
thereto has to be converted from the currency (the ‘‘first currency’’) in which the same is payable under
these Conditions or such order or judgment into another currency (the ‘‘second currency’’) for the
purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Issuer, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in
any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to the Notes,
the Issuer shall indemnify each Noteholder, on the written demand of such Noteholder addressed to the
Issuer and delivered to the Issuer or to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent, against any loss suffered
as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in
question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which
such Noteholder may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second
currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment,
claim or proof.

This indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and shall give rise to a
separate and independent cause of action.

16. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION


(a) Governing law: The Notes and all matters arising from or connected with the Notes are governed
by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

(b) Arbitration: The Issuer agrees that any dispute or difference of whatever nature howsoever arising
under, out of or in connection with the Notes (including a dispute or difference as to the breach,
existence or validity of the Notes) (each a ‘‘Dispute’’) involving a Noteholder shall, if the
Noteholder so elects, be settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Condition
16(b). Any election by a Noteholder shall be made by written notice to the Issuer and, if court
proceedings have already been started, must be made before the Noteholder takes any steps with
regard to the substantive claim made in those proceedings.

If a Dispute is to be settled by arbitration in accordance with this Condition 16(b), the arbitration
shall be in accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (the ‘‘Rules’’) as at present in force
by a panel of three arbitrators (or a sole arbitrator if the parties so agree) appointed in accordance
with the Rules. The seat and place of any arbitration shall be London, England. The language of
any arbitral proceedings shall be English. The appointing authority for the purposes set forth in
Article 7(2) of the Rules shall be the London Court of International Arbitration.

In absence of any written notice as contemplated by this Condition 16(b), the provisions of
Condition 16(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall apply.

(c) English courts: The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Dispute arising
from or connected with the Notes.

(d) Appropriate forum: The Issuer agrees that the courts of England are the most appropriate and
convenient courts to settle any Dispute and, accordingly, that it will not argue to the contrary.

(e) Rights of the Noteholders to take proceedings outside England: Condition 16(c) (English courts) is
for the benefit of the Noteholders only. As a result, nothing in this Condition 16 (Governing law
and jurisdiction) prevents any Noteholder from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute
(‘‘Proceedings’’) in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, Noteholders
may take concurrent Proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(f) Process agent: The Issuer agrees that the documents which start any Proceedings and any other
documents required to be served in relation to those Proceedings may be served on it by being
delivered to Oury Clark Solicitors at 10 John Street, London WC1N 2EB or, if different, its
registered office for the time being or at any address of the Issuer in Great Britain at which process
may be served on it in accordance with Part XXIII of the Companies Act 1985. If such person is
not or ceases to be effectively appointed to accept service of process on behalf of the Issuer, the
Issuer shall, on the written demand of any Noteholder addressed to the Issuer and delivered to the
Issuer or to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent appoint a further person in England to accept
service of process on its behalf and, failing such appointment within 15 days, any Noteholder shall
be entitled to appoint such a person by written notice addressed to the Issuer and delivered to the

25
Issuer or to the Specified Office of the Fiscal Agent. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the right
of any Noteholder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. This Condition applies
to Proceedings in England.

There will appear at the foot of the Conditions endorsed on or (as the case may be) attached to the Global
Note Certificate the names and Specified Offices of the Agents as set out at the end of this Prospectus.

26
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS
RELATING TO THE NOTES IN GLOBAL FORM

The Notes will be represented by a Global Note Certificate which will be registered in the name of Chase
Nominees Limited as nominee for, and deposited with, a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg.

The Global Note Certificate will become exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for Individual Note Certificates
(‘‘Individual Note Certificates’’) if (a) Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg is closed for business for a
continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of legal holidays) or announces an intention permanently to
cease business or (b) any of the circumstances described in Condition 8 (Events of Default) occurs.

Whenever the Global Note Certificate is to be exchanged for Individual Note Certificates, such Individual Note
Certificates will be issued in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note
Certificate within five business days of the delivery by or on behalf of the registered holder of the Global Note
Certificate, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg to the Registrar of such information as is required to
complete and deliver such Individual Note Certificates (including, without limitation, the names and addresses of
the persons in whose names the Individual Note Certificates are to be registered and the principal amount of each
such person’s holding) against the surrender of the Global Note Certificate at the Specified Office of the
Registrar. Such exchange will be effected in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement and the
regulations concerning the transfer and registration of Notes scheduled thereto and, in particular, shall be effected
without charge to any holder, but against such indemnity as the Registrar may require in respect of any tax or
other duty of whatsoever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such exchange.

If:

(a) Individual Note Certificates have not been issued and delivered by 5.00 p.m. (London time) on the
thirtieth day after the date on which the same are due to be issued and delivered in accordance with the
terms of the Global Note Certificate; or

(b) any of the Notes evidenced by the Global Note Certificate has become due and payable in accordance
with the Conditions or the date for final redemption of the Notes has occurred and, in either case, payment
in full of the amount of principal falling due with all accrued interest thereon has not been made to the
Holder of the Global Note Certificate on the due date for payment in accordance with the terms of the
Global Note Certificate,

then the Global Note Certificate (including the obligation to deliver Individual Note Certificates) will become
void at 5.00 p.m. (London time) on such thirtieth day (in the case of (a) above) or at 5.00 p.m. (London time) on
such due date (in the case of (b) above) and the Holder will have no further rights thereunder (but without
prejudice to the rights which the Holder or others may have under the deed of covenant dated 5 May 2006, (the
‘‘Deed of Covenant’’)). Under the Deed of Covenant, persons shown in the records of Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg as being entitled to interests in the Notes will acquire directly against the Issuer all
those rights to which they would have been entitled if, immediately before the Global Note Certificate became
void, they had been the registered Holders of Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of Notes they were shown as holding in the records of Euroclear and/or (as the case may be) Clearstream,
Luxembourg.

In addition, the Global Note Certificate will contain provisions which modify the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes as they apply to the Notes evidenced by the Global Note Certificate. The following is a summary of certain
of those provisions:

Notices: Notwithstanding Condition 14 (Notices), so long as the Global Note Certificate is held on behalf of a
common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, notices to Noteholders represented by the
Global Note Certificate may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg and, in any case, such notices shall be deemed to have been given to the Noteholders in accordance
with Condition 14 (Notices) on the date of delivery to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Denominations and minimum trading amount: The Notes are in the denomination of EUR 50,000 and integral
multiples of EUR 1,000 in excess thereof. For so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note and the
relevant clearing system(s) so permit, the Notes shall be tradable in such denominations, subject always to the
minimum denomination and trading amount of EUR 50,000. Individual Note Certificates (if issued) will be
printed in denominations of EUR 50,000 and integral multiples of EUR 1,000 in excess thereof.

27
EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth, for the periods and dates indicated, certain information regarding the Midpoint
Rate for Latvian Lats, expressed in euros per Lat. The term ‘‘Midpoint Rate’’ means the rate fixed by the National
Bank of Latvia on the relevant date. The inclusion of such translations is not intended to suggest that the Lat
amounts actually represent such euro amounts or that such amounts could have been converted into euro at such
rate or any other rate. Since 1 January 2005 the Lat has been pegged to the euro at a rate of LVL 1: Euro 1.42287.
The Bank of Latvia has committed that the market rate of the Lat will not differ more than plus 1% or minus 1%
from the peg rate.

The following table sets forth historical lat/euro exchange rates for the periods indicated.

used by the Issuer for general corporate purposes which include making a profit.

The total expenses relating to the admission to listing and trading are estimated to be approximately Euro 9,706.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s consolidated and separate financial
statements included elsewhere in this document (the ‘‘Financial Statements’’). Unless otherwise specified, the
financial data discussed below have been extracted without material adjustment from the consolidated financial
statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

References in this financial review to ‘‘2004’’ and ‘‘2005’’ and other years are, unless otherwise stated, to the
12 months ended 31st December in each of those years and references to ‘‘average balances’’ are references to
the average of amounts at the start and end of each year. As a result of rounding, the totals stated in the tables
below may not be an exact arithmetical sum of the numbers in respect of which they are expressed to be a total.

Overview
According to data prepared by the Association of Latvian Commercial Banks, the Bank is the largest commercial
bank in Latvia in terms of customer deposits and the third largest in terms of both total assets and of loans and
advances to customers, which, at 31 December 2005, were LVL 1,252 million, LVL 1,757 million and LVL 811
million, respectively. As at 31 December 2005, according to the same source, the Bank had a 19.8% market share
of customer deposits, a 16.3% market share of total assets and an 11.9% market share of loans and advances to
customers in Latvia.

The Bank is the parent company of a group of companies comprising 25 consolidated and one non-consolidated
subsidiary at 31 December 2005. Details of the Bank’s subsidiaries are set out in note 20 to the Financial
Statements. The Bank conducts banking business in Latvia and, to a limited extent, elsewhere through its branch
network. Other Group companies conduct a banking business in Lithuania, leasing businesses in Latvia,
Lithuania, Estonia and a range of countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States (the ‘‘CIS’’) and asset
management businesses in Latvia, Russia and the Ukraine. As at 31 December 2005, 91.7% of the Group’s gross
interest and commission and fee income and 92.8% of its profit before tax (including intra-group transactions)
was earned by the Bank and its subsidiaries in Latvia; see also note 39 to the Financial Statements.

The principal revenue earning activities of the Group comprise lending (including leasing, which generates both
interest and commission income), customer service (including the provision of plastic cards, effecting payment
transfers and a range of other services) which principally generate commissions and fees and investing in and
trading fixed income securities (which generates both interest income and trading profits) and foreign exchange
trading (which generates trading profits).

As at 31 December 2005, the Group had total assets of LVL 1,842.3 billion, total net loans and advances to
customers of LVL 879.3 million and total deposits from customers of LVL 1,317.9 million. For the year ended
31 December 2005, the Group had net operating income of LVL 89.8 million. A prudent approach to risk
management and the ability to take advantage of market opportunities helped the Group to achieve its ninth
consecutive year of record profits which, in 2005, amounted to LVL 33.2 million, 102% higher than the profits for
the previous year. As a result, the Group’s shareholders’ equity reached LVL 158.1 million as at 31 December
2005. The Group’s return on average assets for 2005 was 2.03% and its return on average equity was 23.35% in
that year (compared with 1.32% and 14.03%, respectively in 2004). The Group’s net interest margin remained
stable at 3.04% in 2005.

The Group’s net operating income is principally derived from three sources: net interest income, net commission
and fee income and net profit from trading. The table below sets out certain information in relation to these
components of the Group’s consolidated net income for each of the years indicated.

Year ended 31 December

Significant Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Adoption of IFRS 3 and IAS 27
In 2005, the Group adopted IFRS 3 ‘‘Business Combinations’’ and IAS 27 ‘‘Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements’’, each of which had a substantial effect on the Group’s accounting policies. As a result of the
adoption of IFRS 3 (and related IAS 36 and IAS 38), the Group ceased amortising goodwill from 1 January 2005
(previously goodwill had been amortised on a straight-line basis) and eliminated the accumulated amortisation at
31 December 2004 with a corresponding decrease in the cost of goodwill. As a result of the adoption of IAS 27,
with effect from 1 January 2005 investments in subsidiaries ceased to be accounted for under the equity method
and retained earnings of subsidiaries were reversed to equity. As a result, the net book value of investments in
subsidiaries and comparative figures were restated.

The table below shows the effects of the adoption of these two standards on the Bank’s non-consolidated financial
statements at 31 December 2004.

The Group expects that it will apply IFRS 7 ‘‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’’ and IAS 1 amendment
‘‘Capital Disclosures’’ with effect from 1 January 2007 and that this will affect the presentation of its financial
statements for 2007 onwards, see note 2 to the Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies


Certain accounting policies for the Group’s business involve management estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. The most
important of these accounting policies are discussed below. For more information on the Group’s accounting
policies and the use of estimates in the preparation of the Financial Statements, see note 2 (and, in particular,
2(w)) to the Financial Statements.

Loan impairment
All loans and advances are recognised when advanced and measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.

Allowances for loan impairment are established (i) in relation to individual loans if there is objective evidence
that the Group will not be able to collect the amounts due according to the original contractual terms and (ii) at a
portfolio level as described below. The amount of the allowance in (i) above is the difference between the
carrying amount and the estimated recoverable amount, calculated as the present value of expected cash flows,
including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted based on the instrument’s effective
interest rate at inception. The allowance in (ii) above is estimated based upon historical patterns of losses in the
loan portfolio but also takes account of credit concentrations, changes in collateral values, current economic
conditions and general market or operating events that have occurred which might negatively impact future cash
flows but do not, in themselves, give rise to a quantifiable specific allowance under (i) above. The determination
of the allowance for loan impairment may involve a significant amount of management discretion.

When a loan is uncollectable, it is written off against the related allowance for impairment. Such loans are written
off after all the necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined.
Recoveries of amounts previously written off are treated as income to the extent that the carrying value of the
asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the date of the reversal.

Interest on fixed income securities 19.7 17.7 11.3
Interest on other financial instruments 1.8 0.3 500.0
Total interest income 78.9 58.6 34.9

The Group principally derives interest income from loans and advances which it makes to its customers and from
its investments in fixed income securities. Together, these two sources accounted for 90.4% of the Group’s total
interest income in 2005 compared to 93.3% in 2004.

Interest income increased in 2005 by LVL 20.4 million, or 34.9%, as compared to 2004. This increase was
principally due to an increase in interest income from loans and advances to customers principally reflecting the
increase in the loans portfolio during the period. The average balance of net loans and advances to customers in
2005 was LVL 785.5 million compared to LVL 583.6 million in 2004, an increase of 34.6%. The average rate of
interest earned on the portfolio was 6.6% in 2005 compared to 6.4% in 2004.

Interest income on fixed income securities increased by 11.3% from 2004 to 2005 principally reflecting an
increase in the size of the portfolio during the period. The average size of the fixed income portfolio was
LVL 365.4 million in 2005 compared to LVL 323.3 million in 2004, an increase of 13.0%. The average rate of
interest earned on the portfolio was 5.4% in 2005 compared to 5.5% in 2004.

Interest Expense

Interest on issued debt securities (1.9) — —
Interest on other financial instruments (1.5) (1.8) (20.0)
Total interest income (32.4) (19.8) 63.6

The Group principally pays interest on deposits made by its customers. This source accounted for 74.4% of the
Group’s total interest expense in 2005 compared to 76.8% in 2004. In 2005, the Group issued interest bearing
securities which contributed to the slight decline indicated above.

Interest expense increased in 2005 by LVL 12.6 million, or 63.6%, compared to 2004. This increase was
principally due to an increase in interest expense on customer deposits reflecting an increase in deposits during

32
the period and an increase in interest rates paid. The average balance of customer deposits in 2005 was
LVL 1,211.7 million compared to LVL 970.6 million in 2004, an increase of 24.8%. The average rate of interest
paid on customer deposits was 2.0% in 2005 compared to 1.6% in 2004.

Interest expense also increased as a result of the debt securities issued by the Bank in March and June 2005. The
Bank anticipates that this source of interest expense will increase further in 2006 reflecting both a full year’s
interest paid on securities issued in 2005 as well as the interest expense incurred on securities (including the
Notes) issued during 2006.

Net Interest Income and Interest Margin


The Group’s net interest income in 2005 increased by 20.2% to LVL 46.5 million from LVL 38.7 million in 2004.

The Group’s net interest margin (defined as net interest income divided by the average of total interest earning
assets) was 3.04% in 2005 as compared to 3.38% in 2004. The Group’s interest spread (defined as the difference
between the rate of interest earned on average interest earning assets and the rate of interest paid on average
interest bearing liabilities) was 2.92% in 2005 compared to 3.31% in 2004.

Total commission and fee income 32.5 23.7 37.1

The Group derives commission and fee income principally from transactions made using debit and credit cards
issued by it and from fees charged for payment transfers. In relation to its plastic cards, the principal revenue
items are annual fees, ATM withdrawal charges and foreign exchange charges together with commissions
received from merchants with whom the cards are used. Payment transfers generate commission and fee income
principally through the charges levied for effecting money transfers as well as from fees received by the Group
for maintaining third party correspondent accounts. Together, these two sources accounted for 63.4% of the
Group’s total commission and fee income in 2005 compared to 71.5% in 2004. Other significant sources of
commission income in 2005 were loan fees (charged on the grant of a loan and including fees for collateral
valuation where applicable) which include the Group’s fees earned from investment banking activities such as
loan syndication and securities underwriting; financial consulting fees (being the fees charged by it for arranging
finance for third parties as part of its investment banking activities); and brokerage fees for trading securities on
behalf of its clients (referred to as Securities in the table above and including fees earned by PAM,

33
see ‘‘Description of the Group – Core Business – Asset Management’’). These sources accounted for 9.5%, 8.9%
and 7.7%, respectively, of total commission and fee income in 2005.

Commission and fee income from card transactions increased by 24.7% in 2005 from LVL 8.9 million in 2004 to
LVL 11.1 million in 2005. This increase reflected an increase in the number of cards issued by the Group
(the average number of cards issued by the Group was approximately 489,300 in 2005 compared to
approximately 359,700 in 2004) and the marketing efforts undertaken by the Group to promote the use of its
cards.

Commission and fee income from payment transfers increased by 15.9% in 2005 from LVL 8.2 million in 2004
to LVL 9.5 million in 2005. This increase principally reflected increased volumes of business.

The increase in loan fees is principally attributable to the increase in the loan portfolio referred to above as
commission rates generally declined slightly over the period. Financial consulting fees charged in 2005 related to
a one-off transaction and income from securities increased as a result of increased client trading.

Commission and Fee Expense

Total commission and fee expense (6.7) (5.1) 31.3

The Group pays a range of fees in connection with the cards issued by it, including fees to card settlement
organisations and other banks whose ATMs and point of sale terminals have been used by the Group’s customers,
to banks with which it holds correspondent accounts and to brokers and custodians who trade and hold securities
on its behalf. The principal cause of the increase in its commission and fee expense in 2005 was increased fees
paid in respect of its plastic cards reflecting the increased amount of transactions made using cards issued by the
Group.

Net Profit from Trading Activities


The following table sets out the principal components of the Group’s net profit from trading for each of the years
indicated.

Year ended 31 December Variation


2005 2004 2005/2004
(LVL millions) (%)
Profit from trading and revaluation of trading securities 3.6 1.5 140.0

(Loss) on trading and revaluation of other financial instruments (1.1) (0.4) 175.0
Total net profit on trading activities 15.5 13.2 17.4

The Group’s trading profits are principally derived from transactions involving its securities portfolio and foreign
exchange trading. Net profit is derived from securities transactions both through the sale of trading and available
for sale securities and through the marking to market of securities in the trading portfolio. Although securities in
the available for sale portfolio are also marked to market, the result is (pending any sale of the securities)
recognised in equity as a fair value revaluation reserve, see note 2(j) to the Financial Statements.

The Group’s trading portfolio of fixed income securities, which constitutes its proprietary trading portfolio, was
LVL 24.2 million at 31 December 2005. The Group also has small portfolios of non fixed income trading
securities, although these are not actively traded. See ‘‘Financial Condition as at 31 December 2005 and 2004 —
Securities’’ below. The Group uses its available for sale portfolio principally to manage its liquidity risk in
relation to its loan portfolio which generally has longer-term maturities than its customer deposits, which are the
principal funding source of the loans and advances made by the Group. In 2005, net profit derived from the

34
trading portfolio increased by 140.0% compared with 2004 to LVL 3.6 million, reflecting profits made when
securities in the portfolio are traded as well as the marking to market of the trading securities portfolio. By
contrast, net profit derived from the available for sale portfolio in 2005 decreased by 23.2% compared with 2004.
This represents losses made on trading, although, as indicated above, trading in this portfolio is principally
undertaken as part of the Group’s liquidity risk management.

Net profit derived from foreign exchange transactions increased by 33.8% in 2005 when compared to 2004,
reflecting increased business volumes.

Other Operating Income


The Group’s other operating income principally comprises penalty interest paid on overdue loans and advances
and card balances as well as penalties levied on early termination of fixed term deposits.

Operating Expenses
The following table sets forth the principal components of the Group’s consolidated operating expenses for the
years indicated.

Depreciation and amortisation expense (6.3) (6.3) —
Other (23.7) (18.5) 28.1
Total operating expenses (54.8) (45.5) 20.4

As a percentage of net operating income, the Group’s operating expenses were 61.1% in 2005 and 62.7% in 2004.

The Group’s operating expenses principally comprise personnel expense and depreciation and amortisation
expense which together accounted for 56.8% and 59.3% of its total operating expense in 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The Group incurs a range of other operating expenses, none of which are individually significant,
which are detailed in note 8 to the Financial Statements.

Personnel Expense
Personnel expense increased by LVL 4.1 million, or 19.8%, in 2005 compared to 2004. This increase was
primarily caused by an increase in the number of employees reflecting the growth of the Group’s branch network
and the addition of new subsidiaries as well as salary increases. The Group employed an average of 2,438 staff
during 2005 and an average of 2,216 during 2004, an increase of 10.0%. The personnel expense per average
employee was LVL 10,172 in 2005 compared to LVL 9,341 in 2004, an increase of 8.9%. As a percentage of total
operating costs, personnel expense was 45.3% in 2005 and 45.5% in 2004.

Depreciation and Amortisation Expenses


Depreciation and amortisation expenses remained constant during 2004 and 2005. As a percentage of total
operating costs, depreciation and amortisation expenses were 11.5% in 2005 and 13.8% in 2004.

Impairment
The Group’s impairment change was LVL 2.7 million in 2005 and LVL 9.1 million in 2004. Financial assets
principally comprise loans and advances to customers and fixed income securities. As a percentage of the total of
these assets at the year end, the allowance for impairment decreased from 0.9% in 2004 to 0.2% in 2005
reflecting the Group’s historically prudent provisioning levels and the quality of the portfolio.

In 2004, the Group released LVL 1.0 million of impairment previously charged to the income statement,
reflecting unanticipated amounts recovered in respect of assets which had been provided for. In 2005,
LVL 5.3 million of previously charged impairment was released.

Taxation
The Group’s total income tax increased to LVL 4.4 million in 2005 from LVL 2.2 million in 2004, reflecting the
increase in its taxable profit over the two years. Corporate income tax in Latvia in both 2005 and 2004 was
charged at a rate of 15%. The Group’s effective tax rate was 11.6% in 2005 and 11.8% in 2004. The Group’s

35
effective tax rate was below the Latvian corporate tax rate in each year reflecting tax deductible donations and
other expenses made and incurred by the Group, see note 11 to the Financial Statements.

Financial Condition as at 31 December 2005 and 2004


Total Assets
As at 31 December 2005, the Group had total assets of LVL 1,842.3 million as compared to LVL 1,424.5 million
at 31 December 2004. The increase at the end of 2005 principally reflected increases in loans and advances to
customers, in fixed income securities and in cash and deposits with central banks.

Cash and Deposits with Central Banks


As at 31 December 2005, the Group had cash and deposits with central banks of LVL 144.1 million, including
deposits with the Bank of Latvia of LVL 99.3 million. The corresponding numbers at the end of 2004 were LVL
70.8 million and LVL 34.4 million, respectively. During 2005, the Bank of Latvia increased its reserve
requirements with a view to helping it manage inflation. At the same time, the Bank of Latvia began to pay
interest on certain reserves deposited with it. The Group’s cash and deposits with central banks were 7.8% of its
total assets at 31 December 2005 as compared to 5.0% at 31 December 2004.

Loans and Advances to Customers


As at 31 December 2005, the Group had loans and advances to customers of LVL 879.3 million as compared to
LVL 691.7 million at 31 December 2004. The increase at the end of 2005 was mainly the result of an increase in
available funding and generally strong demand for loans by the Group’s customers. As a percentage of total
assets, loans and advances to customers were 47.7% at 31 December 2005 and 48.6% at 31 December 2004.
Information on the Group’s loan portfolio is set out in ‘‘Lending and Selected Statistical Information’’ below.

Securities
As at 31 December 2005, the Group had fixed income securities of LVL 432.1 million as compared to
LVL 298.8 million at 31 December 2004. The increase at the end of 2005 reflected the fact that as deposits grew
faster than loans in 2005 the Group had correspondingly more cash to invest in its liquid fixed income securities
portfolio. As a percentage of total assets, the Group’s fixed income securities portfolio was 23.5% at
31 December 2005 and 21.0% at 31 December 2004. Information on the Group’s fixed income securities
portfolio is set out in ‘‘Lending and Selected Statistical Information’’ below.
As at 31 December 2005, the Group also held shares and other non-fixed income securities of LVL 30.5 million
as compared to LVL 11.5 million at 31 December 2004.
The table below shows certain information in relation to the Group’s securities as at the dates indicated.

31 December 2005 and 31 December 2004, respectively.
(2) Managed funds represent the Group’s share in certain portfolios of fixed income securities and/or shares that are managed on behalf of
investors. Investments in managed funds, where the Group does not possess sufficient information on the portfolios’ composition
between fixed income securities and shares, are classified in the accounts as investments in shares and other non-fixed income securities.

36
Fixed income securities identified as ‘‘held for trading’’ in the above table represent the Group’s proprietary
trading portfolio. Fixed income securities indicated as ‘‘available for sale’’ are principally used by the Group to
hedge its liquidity risk in relation to its loan portfolio, see ‘‘Results of operations for the years ended 31 December
2005 and 2004 – Net profit from trading activities’’ above.

Balances Due from Credit Institutions


The Group’s interbank lending was LVL 312.6 million at 31 December 2005 and LVL 312.9 million at
31 December 2004. As a percentage of total assets, interbank lending was 17.0% at 31 December 2005 and 22.0%
at 31 December 2004.

Total Liabilities
As at 31 December 2005, the Group had total liabilities of LVL 1,684.2 million as compared to
LVL 1,298.1 million at 31 December 2004. The increase at the end of 2005 principally reflected increases in
deposits from customers, in interbank borrowing and in securities issued.

Deposits from Customers


As at 31 December 2005, the Group had total deposits from customer of LVL 1,317.9 million as compared to
LVL 1,105.6 million at 31 December 2004. This increase can principally be attributed to marketing campaigns
designed to attract depositors and the competitive pricing offered by the Group. As a percentage of the Group’s
total liabilities, deposits from customers were 78.3% as at 31 December 2005 and 85.2% at 31 December 2004.
Information on the Group’s customer deposits is set out in ‘‘Funding and Liquidity’’ and ‘‘Lending and Selected
Statistical Information’’ below.

Balances due to Credit Institutions and Central Banks


As at 31 December 2005, the Group had liabilities to other banks of LVL 263.0 million as compared to LVL 172.3
million at 31 December 2004. A significant portion of these amounts represents short-term syndicated loans made
to the Bank, see ‘‘Funding and Liquidity’’ below. As a percentage of the Group’s total liabilities, liabilities to
other banks were 15.6% at 31 December 2005 and 13.3% at 31 December 2004.

Issued Debt Securities


As at 31 December 2005, the Bank had debt securities in issue of LVL 74.1 million, see ‘‘Funding and Liquidity’’
below. No debt securities had been issued by it at 31 December 2004. As a percentage of the Group’s total
liabilities, issued debt securities were 4.4% at 31 December 2005.

Memorandum Items
The Group’s memorandum items amounted to LVL 1,186.1 million at 31 December 2005 and principally
comprise foreign exchange contracts, financial commitments, funds under trust management, derivative financial
instruments and contingent liabilities. A breakdown of financial commitments (amounting to LVL 190.8 million
at 31 December 2005) and contingent liabilities (amounting to LVL 21.1 million at the same date) is set out in
note 30 to the Financial Statements. Note 30 to the Financial Statements also presents information on the notional
amounts and fair values of the foreign exchange contracts and derivative financial instruments. Funds under trust
management (principally assets managed by PAM for the Bank and Group’s customers) are described in note 31
to the Financial Statements.

Funding and Liquidity


Introduction
The Group benefits from being one of the most stable financial services groups in the Baltic countries, evidenced
by the fact that it has not recorded a loss in any financial year since it was established. Its reputation helps it to
attract low cost funding from customer deposits.
The Group’s funding base principally consists of customer deposits, which grew from LVL 1,106 million as at
31 December 2004 to LVL 1,318 million as at 31 December 2005. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank had a
19.8% market share of customer deposits in Latvia, according to data prepared by the Association of Latvian
Commercial Banks.
Customer deposits comprised 71.5% of the Group’s total liabilities and shareholders’ equity at 31 December
2005 compared to 77.6% at 31 December 2004. At 31 December 2005, 15.9% of total amounts owed to

37
customers comprised deposits of the Group’s ten largest corporate depositors. The Group’s own equity
contributed 8.6% in total asset funding as at 31 December 2005.
Related party deposits accounted for 3.3% of the Group’s total deposits at 31 December 2005, compared to 2.6%
as at 31 December 2004. The debut issues of public notes in the domestic market and bonds in the international
market accounted for 4.4% of the Group’s total funding at 31 December 2005.
Statistical information on the Group’s customer deposits is set out under ‘‘Lending and Selected Statistical
Information’’ below.

The Bank has entered into financings with credit institutions and central banks including syndicated loans. As at
31 December 2005, loans from credit institutions and central banks to the Bank comprised 14.3% (12.1% at
31 December 2004) of the Group’s total liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
Since 1998, the Bank has entered into eight syndicated loans in the international markets, of which two remain
outstanding. The two outstanding loans were entered into in July 2005, in an amount of EUR 188,500,000, and in
March 2006, in an amount of EUR 200,000,000. The Bank is using these loans to develop its business and to
finance the growth of its loan portfolio.

In March 2005, the Bank completed its first public offering of notes in the domestic market. All the securities
offered were sold and the total volume issued was LVL 5 million. The securities are listed on Riga Stock
Exchange.

In June 2005, the Bank issued its first bonds in the international market. The issue raised EUR 100 million with a
three-year maturity at an interest rate of 4.375%.

Capital Adequacy
FCMC regulations require Latvian banks to maintain a capital adequacy ratio based on financial statements
prepared to Latvian accounting standards at 8% of risk-weighted assets.

Since the Bank has subsidiaries which are financial institutions, it must comply with the regulatory requirements
based on both the Group’s consolidated financial statements and the Bank’s financial statements as a stand-alone
entity. As at 31 December 2005, the Group’s capital adequacy ratio calculated in accordance with the FCMC
requirements was 11.1% (compared with 11.9% at 31 December 2004). At the same time, the Bank’s capital
adequacy ratio without taking into account the Bank’s investments in subsidiaries and calculated in accordance
with the FCMC requirements was 11.7% (compared with 12.5% at 31 December 2004).

As at 31 December 2005, the Group’s capital adequacy ratio calculated according to Basle Committee guidelines
was 11.7% (compared with 12.2% at 31 December 2004) and the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio calculated in the
same manner but without taking into account its investments in subsidiaries was 12.2% (compared with 12.8% at
31 December 2004). The minimum capital adequacy ratio recommended by the Basle Committee guidelines
is 8%.

Risk Management
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may be unwilling or unable to meet its contractual obligations to the
Group, thus causing loss to the Group. The Bank manages the level of credit risk which the Group undertakes by
setting limits for portfolios, individual counterparties or groups of related counterparties as well as country or
other geographical limits. The limits for portfolios are established by the asset and liability committee
(‘‘ALCO’’), which also sets the Bank’s base interest rate, whereas limits for individual counterparties or groups
of related counterparties are set by the risk management committee. The adequacy of all the limits established is
monitored by the Bank’s risk management committee on a weekly basis. Daily monitoring of limit compliance is
undertaken by the Bank’s back office department.

Credit risk management is the overriding principle of the Bank’s lending practice. A brief outline of the Bank’s
lending practice is set out under ‘‘Lending and Selected Statistical Information’’ below.

Asset and Liability Management and Treasury Risk Policies


The Supervisory Board decides upon the asset/liability management policies for the Bank. The treasury
department realises exposure management, while the risk management department monitors adherence to the
policy and risk management principles, in addition to providing ALCO with recommendations and risk analysis.

ALCO is responsible for establishing limits in order to manage liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk


The effective and efficient management of interest rate risk is important to the Group and is monitored by ALCO,
Interest rate risk principally affects the Group’s securities portfolio. In this respect, the Group analyses and seeks
to balance both interest rate ‘‘repricing’’ risk and interest rate ‘‘cash flow’’ risk. Repricing risk is the effect of
interest rate fluctuations on its profit and loss account and revaluation reserve through its trading and available for
sale portfolios, respectively, whilst cash flow risk is the effect on the stability of its net interest income through
reducing the maturity of securities in the portfolio.

The Group’s interest rate exposure is monitored on a daily basis by the Bank’s treasury department and by ALCO
on the basis of monthly reports covering loan duration, gap analysis and interest rate change scenario simulations
to measure interest rate sensitivity. An interest rate repricing analysis of the Group’s assets and liabilities is set
out in note 35 to the Financial Statements.

If interest rates were to rise, the effect on the Group’s net interest income would be positive as approximately
one-half of its assets are funded with non-interest bearing resources. However, the Group would experience a
short-term negative impact on its profitability through marking to market its trading securities portfolio. In the
case of a 1% increase in interest rates, management estimates that the loss incurred on the Group’s trading
securities portfolio would be less than LVL 2 million.

Currency risk
The treasury department manages the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations in accordance with
ALCO limits and, where appropriate, through the use of derivatives as hedging instruments. ALCO determines
the limits for open positions in individual currencies as well as for total open positions. Specific trading limits and
strategies are also set for each responsible foreign exchange dealer or dealer group.

The Bank’s largest total open position limits are as follows:

Limit Capital
Currency (US$ million) requirement
LVL 60 0%
EUR 60 1%
USD 20 8%
GBP 15 8%
RUR 10 8%

Latvian banking legislation requires that open positions in each foreign currency may not exceed 10% of the
Bank’s equity (as calculated in accordance with FCMC regulations on capital adequacy for Tier I and II) and that
the total foreign currency open position may not exceed 20% of equity. Since 1 January 2005, Latvia’s currency
has been pegged to the euro and accordingly there are no limits on the open LVL/EUR position. The Bank is in
compliance with the above requirements.

An analysis of the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is set out in note 36 to the Financial Statements.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the ability of the Group to meet its financial obligations when they fall due without
incurring substantial losses. In order to manage its liquidity gap, the Group evaluates its volatile liabilities and
seeks to ensure that they are matched by liquid assets (typically fixed income securities). Liabilities which are
classified by the Group as volatile are significantly less than its demand deposits, reflecting the fact that many
such deposits are held on a long-term basis. This gap between the Group’s liquid assets and volatile liabilities is
constantly monitored. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank’s liquid assets accounted for 26.6% of its total assets.

The Bank’s treasury department monitors its assets and liabilities and prepares weekly reports for ALCO on the
Group’s liquidity position.

The Group’s own requirements with respect to the classification of its assets and liabilities are more detailed than
those set by the Bank of Latvia, particularly with regard to its securities portfolio and deposits from the public.
The FCMC requires Latvian banks to maintain liquidity of not less than 30%. As at 31 December 2005, the
Bank’s regulatory liquidity ratio was 53.9%.

An analysis of the Group’s assets and liabilities by maturity is set out in note 34 to the Financial Statements.

Asset diversification
The Group follows a policy of diversification of its assets and off-balance positions by nature, country, industry
sector and other risks with a view to managing the risks associated with asset concentration.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GROUP

HISTORY
The Bank was established by its two founder shareholders (see ‘‘Ownership and Capital Structure’’) on
14 May 1992 for an unlimited duration as a joint stock company under Latvian law. Having received its banking
licence, the Bank commenced operations in June 1992. The Bank’s registered number is 40003074590 and its
registered office is located at Smilšu Street 3, Riga LV-1522, Latvia, which is also its headquarters. The Bank’s
telephone number is +371 701 0000. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank had a total of 25 consolidated
subsidiaries and one non-consolidated subsidiary that operate in various financial sectors.

Set out below is a description of certain significant dates in the Group’s history:

1992 The Bank was registered on 14 May 1992 as one of the first commercial banks in Latvia.

1995 The Bank survived the Central and Eastern European (‘‘CEE’’) banking crisis which caused the
closure of less stable banks.

1998 The Bank opened a representative office in Frankfurt and established two subsidiaries, a pension
fund subsidiary called AS Parekss atklatais pensiju fonds (‘‘Parex Pension Fund’’) and a customs
brokerage subsidiary called SIA Parex Brokeru Sistema (‘‘Parex Broker System’’).

2000 The Bank completed its acquisition of Industrijos Bankas in Lithuania (now AB Parex Bankas
(‘‘Parex Bankas’’)).

2001 The Bank opened a representative office in Tallinn in Estonia.

2002 The Bank established an asset management subsidiary called AS Parex Asset Management and the
Bank opened a representative office in London.

2003 The Bank established a leasing subsidiary, now known as OU Parex Leasing & Factoring (‘‘Parex
Leasing & Factoring’’), in Estonia and opened representative offices in Stockholm and Tokyo.

2004 The Bank opened its first branch in Estonia and acquired 100% of the shares of AP Anlage und
Privatbank AG (‘‘AP Anlage & Privatbank’’) in Switzerland.

2005 The Bank opened a branch in Berlin in October. In November, AS Parex Asset Management and
another subsidiary were merged to create, IPAS Parex Asset Management (‘‘PAM’’), a unified
investment management company for the Group.

2006 The Group’s PAM Parex Eastern European Balanced Fund, its first fund sold in Western Europe,
was registered for public distribution in Sweden.

The Group has been recognised internationally with awards from various financial publications, including the
international magazine Euromoney, which named the Bank the ‘‘Best Bank in Latvia’’ in 2001, 2002, 2003 and,
most recently, in 2005. Another international magazine, Global Finance, named the Bank the ‘‘Best Foreign
Exchange Bank in Latvia’’ in 2005 and 2006 and the ‘‘Best Bank in Latvia’’ in 2005 for the Bank’s success in the
Emerging Markets banking sector. The Bank was also named the ‘‘Best Bank in Latvia’’ by the Banker Magazine
in 2001, 2002 and 2004.

GROUP’S STRUCTURE
The Group is currently represented in 15 countries through operating subsidiaries or, in certain cases,
representative offices.

The Bank’s head office and three main branches are located in Riga, with regional branches in other Latvian
cities. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank operated a total of 90 branches and customer service centres in Latvia
serving more than 20,000 loan and finance lease customers and nearly 200,000 deposit customers.

The Group has 14 branches and customer service centres covering all the major cities in Lithuania through Parex
Bankas. The Bank also has branches in Tallinn and Berlin and 12 representative offices in 10 countries, as well as
a subsidiary, Parex Group Representation Limited, in London which also acts as a representative office of the
Bank.

42
The following chart provides brief information on the Bank’s principal subsidiaries and further information is
contained in note 20 to the Financial Statements.

GENERAL BUSINESS OVERVIEW


Under its banking licence, the Bank is able to offer its retail and corporate customers in Latvia a range of banking
services, including:

r integrated account services, including foreign exchange and local currency demand and term
deposit accounts and wire transfers;

r lending services including mortgages, other loan and overdraft facilities, trade finance and project
finance;

r plastic card services, including debit and credit cards;

r investment banking services, including corporate finance advisory and securities underwriting; and

r capital market services including foreign exchange, equity and fixed income securities brokerage,
margin trading and investment advisory.

The Group also offers banking services in Lithuania (through Parex Bankas) and in Estonia and certain other
countries through its branches, together with asset and pension fund management, leasing (including financial and
operating leases and factoring), and customs brokerage and other services in Latvia and elsewhere through
separate subsidiaries.

Management believes that the Group’s key products from a profitability and growth perspective are mortgage
loans, plastic cards and pension plans. The Group’s mortgage loan portfolio was LVL 345 million at
31 December 2005, 39% of its total loan portfolio at that date. The Group issues plastic cards in Latvia and
Lithuania and, in 2004, concluded a five-year agreement with American Express allowing it the sole right to issue
and distribute American Express credit cards in Latvia. By the end of 2005 and based on data provided by the

43
Latvian Central Depositary, PAM’s market share in second tier pension funds management in Latvia (as to
which, see ‘‘Asset Management’’ below) exceeded 25%, further increasing its market leadership position when
compared with the previous year.

STRATEGY
The Group aims to expand its market share to become a leading regional player in the Baltic countries (which it
considers its home market) and to increase its profitability through the following strategies:

1. expanding and diversifying the range of commercial and investment banking products and services offered;

2. expanding and strengthening its pan-Baltic and international presence;

3. expanding its asset management activities; and

4. diversifying and strengthening its funding base.

Each component of the strategy is discussed below:

Expanding and diversifying the range of commercial and investment banking products and services offered
The Group intends to continue to develop new products and to refine and improve the existing core banking
products offered by it in order to address the specific needs of its retail and corporate clients in line with the
increasing sophistication of, and access to, financial markets in the Baltic countries.

In particular, the Group intends to focus on further improving its market position in retail lending and consumer
finance in Latvia and the other Baltic countries through providing improved levels of customer service (see
‘‘Retail Banking’’ below) and a competitive product offering (based on a mix of pricing and quality) and through
targeted marketing efforts. In addition, sales targets and motivation programmes have been introduced both for
branch managers and tellers, focusing on key retail products such as loans, deposits, plastic cards and pension
plans.

In terms of new products, the Group intends to focus on its lending and deposit products and on investment
products in particular. In the lending area, the Group has recently launched a mini-payment mortgage loan (which
offers a longer maturity and therefore smaller monthly payments than has previously been available) and it
intends to offer a new credit card product during Spring 2006 offering competitive usage terms. In relation to
deposits, the Group is focussing on aggressive marketing campaigns highlighting the competitive pricing of its
products as well as on developing innovative products such as deposits where the interest rate is linked to an
underlying asset. In the investment product area, the immediate focus will be on 3rd tier pension plans and on the
development of unit-linked life insurance products, see ‘‘Asset Management’’ below.

In the corporate banking area, the Group intends to change its focus from selling particular products to a more
client-centric approach. In this connection, the Group is integrating its client service and lending functions and
will also introduce performance related remuneration for its corporate client service teams. Whereas previously
the Group had focussed on the profitability of individual products now it intends to focus on particular client
relationships which should result in better service to the client as, for example, it may become possible to offer
individual clients discounted terms on particular products against volume business on other products.

In relation to its investment banking activities, the Group’s strategy is to be a one-stop-shop for the investment
banking needs of its local corporate and institutional customers by capitalising on its investment banking team’s
local knowledge and the wide client base of the Group.

The Group plans to expand its range of value added investment banking services for corporate clients by offering
strategic advice in relation to mergers and acquisitions (‘‘M&A’’), company restructuring and corporate finance.
In this connection it is currently working on a small number of M&A mandates and anticipates involvement in
one or more initial public offerings later in 2006. In addition, the Group intends to increase its volumes in the
regional structured finance, loan syndication, securities underwriting and project finance markets by leveraging
its regional syndication and distribution expertise and offering competitive pricing terms.

Expanding and strengthening its pan-Baltic and international presence


The Group believes that it is well represented in Latvia. Although it believes that its Lithuanian subsidiaries’
branch and customer service centre network provides adequate coverage of the main business centres in that

44
country, it plans to add a number of new branches in Lithuania during 2006 as part of its strategy to expand its
market position in retail lending and consumer finance in that country.

In Estonia, where the Group currently only has a single branch in Tallinn, the Group’s strategy is initially to focus
on corporate clients and quality service and its aim is to gain 15% of the corporate customer lending market by
2009. In the immediate future, the Group intends to increase the customer deposit base of the Estonian branch
through focused marketing efforts, attractive pricing and cross-selling where possible with a view to supporting
its lending operations, to launch plastic card operations in Estonia during 2006 and to open a second branch in
Tallinn within the next few years.

Outside the Baltic countries, management believes that potential growth opportunities exist in Eastern and
Western Europe, in Russia and the Ukraine and, accordingly, plans to further reinforce the Group’s presence in
each of those areas. The Group expects that it will initially establish a presence in new geographical markets
through representative offices but that these may evolve into branches and subsidiaries over time. In addition, in
order to capitalise on market opportunities and its knowledge of the CIS markets, during 2005 the Bank acquired
a number of leasing companies operating in CIS countries, see ‘‘International Operations’’, and intends to focus
on growing these businesses.

Expanding its asset management activities


PAM’s strategy is focused on providing asset allocation solutions to local clients of the Group and portfolio
management and advisory services to its international clients seeking exposure to the CEE region. In particular
PAM will focus on seeking to attract new customers from the European Union and on expanding its product and
service range in its CEE markets. PAM has recently established a fund in Sweden (see ‘‘Asset Management’’) and
intends to establish further funds and to target potential clients in Sweden and Germany who are interested in
exposure to the CEE region. In relation to the CEE markets, PAM has recently established asset management
companies in both Russia and the Ukraine and intends to focus on expanding the range of products and services
offered by them and aggressively marketing its products and services to potential clients in these countries.

Diversifying and strengthening its funding base


The Group intends to continue to strengthen its regional funding base by attracting deposits from a wider range of
small, medium and large corporate customers and retail clients through appropriate marketing and by offering
attractive products and terms. In addition, the Group intends to continue to diversify its funding base through
borrowing on the international capital markets by issuing debt securities and borrowing through syndicated bank
facilities, see ‘‘Financial Review – Funding and Liquidity’’.

CORE BUSINESS
Financially, the Group’s income is broadly derived from three major sources: lending, customer service and
securities and foreign exchange trading, see ‘‘Financial Review’’. Although the Bank does not currently prepare
its consolidated accounts by reference to particular business segments, operationally it divides its principal
activities broadly into corporate banking, retail banking, investment banking, asset management and treasury and
brokerage operations (including capital markets services). Management of the Bank estimates that its corporate
banking activities accounted for approximately 33 per cent. of Group’s net operating income in the year ended
31 December 2005 and its retail banking activities accounted for approximately 25 per cent. The balance is
derived from the other activities carried on by the Group. Although currently small in terms of revenue
generation, management regards the Group’s investment banking activities as a strategically important part of the
business with potential for future growth. PAM, the Group’s asset management company, is the largest asset
manager in the Baltic countries and had approximately LVL 585 million in assets under management at
31 December 2005, of which LVL 142 million are the Group’s client’s funds.

Corporate banking
In 2005, the Group’s target corporate client list expanded from the top 300 companies in Latvia to the top 3,000.
Currently, Group companies provide services to nearly 30% of the top 300 Latvian enterprises.

The Group offers its corporate customers a full range of financial services from current and term deposit accounts
to project financing, lending and investment services. The Bank has established a dedicated team serving
corporate clients within its corporate service department, which focuses on Latvian corporate customers having a
monthly turnover on their account, or an account balance, of at least EUR 200,000.

45
The Group offers its corporate customers a range of credit products as well as other services including plastic
cards and pension management. Credit products include investment loans, working capital loans (including credit
lines, factoring and overdrafts), leasing facilities, letters of credit and guarantees. Details of the Group’s lending
policies and its loans and advances to customers (including its corporate customers) are set out below under
‘‘Lending and Selected Statistical Information’’.

The Group’s corporate internet banking solution, branded DIGI::FIRMA, was launched in 2003. By the end of
2005, the number of users of this platform exceeded 18,000 (21% more than the number at the end of 2004) and
the number of payment transactions made through it during 2005 was in excess of 760,000 (33% more than in the
previous year).

The Group counts among its corporate customers a number of Latvian governmental institutions, including the
State Treasury and the municipalities of Riga, Daugavpils and Jurmala, with whom it has established long-term
relationships.

The Bank’s private banking department, which is classified as part of the Group’s corporate banking activities,
has offered high net worth customers in Latvia the full range of services offered by a universal bank and asset
management company in a personalised and tailored manner since 2001. There are 13 client service specialists
employed by the private banking department, up from seven at the end of 2004 reflecting a significant increase in
business in this area. During 2005, the amount of clients’ funds serviced by the private banking department grew
by more than 40%.

Retail banking

The Group offers its retail customers a range of services and products, including deposit taking, consumer lending
(including mortgage lending and personal loans), plastic cards and pension products. These services are offered
through the Group’s network of branches and customer service centres in Latvia, Lithuania and elsewhere, see
‘‘Group Structure’’ above. The Group also provides electronic banking services through its internet and telephone
banking platforms and its network of automated telling machines (‘‘ATMs’’).

Following the upgrade of its customer service centres in 2003 and 2004, the Group has started to focus on
increasing its market share in all the major areas of retail business. Sales targets and motivation programmes have
been introduced both for branch managers and tellers, focusing on key retail products such as loans, deposits,
plastic cards and pension plans. During 2005, a separate human resources division was established with a view to
ensuring improved recruitment, training, evaluation and motivation for the sales force, with a view, among other
things, to improving the service provided to customers.

In addition, the Group is continually upgrading its retail online banking platform, branded as Parex Internet Bank,
with a view to expanding the number of active users and improving the functionality. Retail customers may apply
for loans and plastic cards online as well as make deposits and execute trades in investment funds and equities. As
at 31 December 2005, the Group had more than 115,000 active users of its retail internet banking service
(compared with approximately 71,000 at the end of 2004) and processed nearly 560,000 retail transactions in the
year ended 31 December 2005 over that platform (compared with 238,000 in 2004).

The Bank also offers telephone banking, although this is not currently widely used. In November 2005, the Bank
launched an SMS banking product which allows its Latvian retail customers to receive notifications about
selected transactions and their account balances through their mobile telephones.

The Bank has one of the largest ATM networks in Latvia with around 130 ATMs. In 2002, the Bank launched a
joint ATM network together with the Latvian Savings Bank and the Baltic Trust Bank. This network was named
Naudas Punkts 24 (Cash Point 24) and currently comprises more than 350 ATMs in Latvia. In addition, the Bank
had 2,061 point of sale terminals at 31 December 2005.

Plastic cards is perceived as a potential high-growth area for the Group, which issues both debit and credit cards
in Latvia and Lithuania to retail and corporate customers, although operationally they are classified by the Group
as a retail product. In 2005, transactions using plastic cards issued by the Group generated LVL 11.1 million
gross revenue, which was 8.6% of the Group’s total gross revenue. The Group intends to increase plastic card
issuance in Lithuania and to start issuing plastic cards in Estonia during 2006. However, almost all of the plastic
cards issued by the Group to date have been issued by the Bank and, accordingly, the discussion below is limited
to cards issued by the Bank.

46
In 1994, the Bank obtained a VISA and Europay license for the issuance of payment cards and was one of the first
banks in Latvia to start issuing VISA and Eurocard/MasterCard. In 1997, the Bank began to issue Maestro cards.
In 1998, the Bank started issuing VISA Classic virtual cards to enable customers to make payments over the
Internet. In 1999, the Bank began to issue Cirrus cards. Also in 1999, the Bank was the first bank in Latvia to
issue credit cards.

During 2005, more than 140,000 cards were issued in Latvia by the Bank bringing the total issued by it at
31 December 2005 to 560,354 cards. During 2004, the Bank concluded an agreement with American Express
giving it a five-year sole right to issue and distribute American Express credit cards in the Baltic countries. By the
end of 2005, over 14,000 American Express Platinum, Gold and Blue credit cards had been issued by the Bank.
The total amount spent using American Express credit cards issued by the Bank during 2005 exceeded LVL 8
million and the number of merchants accepting American Express cards increased 6 times.

The table below shows the cumulative number of plastic cards by type issued by the Bank in the three years
ended 31 December 2005.

31 December
2005 2004 2003
MasterCard 25,194 23,476 21,382
VISA 39,561 27,130 17,504
Virtual VISA/MC (Internet only) 6,590 4,968 3,702
Maestro 226,681 200,223 170,160
VISA Electron 248,185 162,542 88,387
American Express 14,143 — —
Total number of issued cards 560,354 418,339 301,135

By helping to make plastic cards popular as a convenient instrument of payment for products and services, the
Bank has significantly enlarged the amount spent using plastic cards issued by it. During 2005, this turnover
increased by nearly 35%, exceeding LVL 460 million by the end of the year.

The Bank aims to attract new personal and corporate cardholders through direct marketing to employers. The
Bank is also actively working to educate its customers about the benefit of plastic cards through media and other
promotional campaigns and has established a customer loyalty programme to promote its plastic cards in the
Baltic countries.

Investment banking

The Group’s investment banking activities have to date principally included arranging and participating in
syndicated loans and issues of debt securities for its corporate and institutional customers. The Group intends to
expand these activities to include strategic advice in relation to M&A, company restructuring and other corporate
finance transactions during 2006.

During 2005, the Bank increased its participation in syndicated loans and its management of debt securities issues
for local and regional entities and was involved in more than 28 transactions, with a total amount lent of more
than US$2 billion. Included in these transactions were syndicated loans for Ukrsib (Ukraine) and Alliance
(Kazakhstan) and eurobond issues for the City of Kiev and the Ministry of Finance of Belarus. The total amount
lent by the Bank in syndicated loans was US$39 million as at 31 December 2005 (almost three times the amount
at the end of 2004).

The Group believes that it is well placed to benefit from the investment banking opportunities which it expects to
arise as a result of the anticipated continued strong growth in the economies of the Baltic countries and increasing
business volumes between Western and Eastern European companies, investors and governments. Management
believes that this is an area where the Group has an advantage over its Nordic and German-based competitors
through its existing market share and local knowledge and through the local market experience of its employees.

Asset management

The Group’s asset and pension fund management activities are principally carried on through its subsidiary,
PAM, which provides investment management and advisory services to local and foreign high net worth
individuals, corporations, mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, foundations and endowments.

47
Management of the Bank believes that PAM is the largest asset management company in the Baltic countries
based on published assets under management with assets under management of approximately LVL 585 million
at 31 December 2005. PAM has asset management subsidiaries in Lithuania, Russia and the Ukraine and employs
more than 60 staff. PAM’s core expertise is in CEE and CIS fixed income debt securities, Baltic and Russian
equities and Baltic real estate and it aims to offer in-house solutions for these regions and asset classes.

PAM also manages most of the Group’s securities portfolio (although the Bank (through its treasury department)
directs and approves investment strategies and asset placements), the investment portfolio of AS Parex
Apdrosinasanas Kompanija (‘‘Parex Insurance Company’’) and the pension plans of Parex open pension fund.
As at 31 December 2005, the total amount of the Group’s securities portfolio managed by PAM was LVL 441
million, including a LVL 29 million equity portfolio. This portfolio comprised 23.9% of the total assets of the
Group and the interest received by the Group on the fixed income portfolio in 2005 amounted to LVL 19.7
million or 15.3% of the Group’s total gross revenue in that year.

The Bank has entered into distribution arrangements with a number of international investment management
companies permitting Group companies to offer products in geographical regions, asset classes and investment
styles not covered by in-house products. Currently PAM distributes the products of Franklin Templeton, Aviva
and the World Investment Opportunities Funds which are registered for public distribution in Latvia, as well as a
range of hedge funds, which it distributes on a private placement basis.

PAM is also responsible for managing seven Riga Stock Exchange listed domestic investment funds. These funds
are also registered for public distribution in Lithuania. In 2004, the assets of these investment funds more than
tripled and, during 2005, increased by 140%. Although there is no independently published industry data, at the
end of 2005, PAM’s estimate of its market share of the investment funds market was 48% (or 89% if money
market funds are excluded). In 2005, the returns on its investment funds ranged from 2.9% to 64.3%. PAM also
manages its in-house hedge fund, Parex Global Opportunities Fund B.V.

Pension fund management remains a major area of potential growth for the Group as management believes that
Latvian pension assets under management will increase by up to 10 times by 2010. Although there is no
independently published industry data, management believes that, at the end of 2005, Parex Pension Fund, the
Bank’s pension fund subsidiary, was the second largest private open pension fund in the country by number of
clients with an estimated market share in this respect in excess of one-third. The Bank’s market share (by number
of customers) in second tier pension funds management increased from 20% in 2004 to 25% at the end of 2005
according to data provided by the Latvian Central Depositary. In Latvia, there are three tiers of pension funds: the
first tier being State pensions funded by a certain percentage of social security contributions, the second tier being
funded by a certain percentage of social security contributions and managed by State or private asset managers
and the third tier being private pensions funded by voluntary contributions. In total, PAM managed more than
LVL 20 million of pension fund savings at 31 December 2005.

The Group’s investment funds and pension funds are distributed through its retail network, its private banking
department and its Swiss subsidiary.

In cooperation with AAS ‘‘Sampo dzviba’’ (‘‘Sampo Life’’), PAM was the first asset management company in
Latvia to offer funds with unit-linked life insurance wrapping. Currently, in Latvia, such funds offer significant
tax advantages to investors. In December 2005, PAM established its own life insurance subsidiary, AS Parex
Dziviba (‘‘Parex Life’’) and this company is expected to be fully licensed and able to offer life insurance
products to the Group’s corporate and retail customers by mid-2006.

Outside of Latvia, PAM currently has asset management subsidiaries operating in Lithuania, the Ukraine and
Russia. The Lithuanian company, which was licensed to commence business in 2004, currently manages one
equity fund, two second tier pension plans and one third tier pension plan. The Ukrainian company was also
licensed in 2004 and currently manages fixed income, balanced and real estate investment funds and a private
pension fund. The Russian subsidiary obtained its license in 2005 and launched fixed income and balanced
investment funds in early 2006.

PAM also offers investment funds to other EU investors, with the first such fund being registered for public
distribution in Sweden in January 2006. The Bank anticipates that it will complete the necessary procedures for
distributing Parex-branded funds in certain other European countries during 2006.

48
Treasury and brokerage
The key functions of the treasury department are to manage the Group’s liquidity and to manage its proprietary
foreign exchange (‘‘FX’’) and fixed income securities positions (through PAM in the case of the securities
portfolio). As the Group has a relatively short-term deposit base and a relatively longer-term loan portfolio, in
order to maintain liquidity it also holds a portfolio of highly liquid fixed income securities (which are classified in
its accounts as available for sale securities). In addition to managing these portfolios, the treasury team enters into
FX and interest rate derivative transactions to mitigate certain risks and hedge the Group’s average interest rate
position. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank’s regulatory liquidity ratio was 53.9%, 23.9% more than the FCMC
minimum requirement.

In addition, the treasury department undertakes the trading of fixed income and equity securities, foreign
exchange and other products (including commodity derivatives) as a broker for the Group’s customers. These
activities are effected through PAM and are described briefly below.

Securities brokerage
The Group’s securities brokerage teams offer its customers a broad range of securities brokerage services and
seek to introduce new products and markets to clients on a regular basis. The Group’s capacity to provide these
services is supported by in-house research. The number of brokerage transactions completed in 2005 on behalf of
the Group’s clients was more than 22,800, doubling the corresponding figure from 2004. The gross revenue from
brokerage transactions was LVL 2.2 million in 2005, an increase of 50% from 2004.

According to data supplied by the Riga Stock Exchange, Parex had a 7.5% market share of fixed income turnover,
a 5.4% market share of equities turnover and a 5.4% overall turnover market share in Latvia in 2005.

Foreign exchange trading


In 2005, the Group’s FX desk earned profit from foreign exchange trading and the revaluation of its open
positions of nearly LVL 8.7 million, an increase of 33% against 2004. During 2005, the Group executed over
312,000 FX operations in 35 currencies, with a daily average turnover in excess of LVL 148 million.

In July 2005, the Bank became a participant in the Electronic Broker System, which provides access to on-line
real time prices and liquidity offered by banks. Currently, the main counterparties of the FX desk include local
Baltic banks, certain large European banks and Russian and other CIS banks. The Bank plans to expand its
dealing relationships geographically to smaller banks in Poland, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and
Slovenia.

Commodity derivatives brokerage


The Group provides its customers with 24 hour service in the international derivatives trading markets. The
Group is developing an OTC platform for energy-related derivatives for clients. The trading of commodity
derivatives (including energy, stock indices, currencies and metals) increased substantially during 2005 and the
gross revenue from commissions generated by derivatives trading were LVL 0.4 million, 38% more than the
revenue generated in 2004.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The Group offers its customers a range of other services, included amongst which are custody services, assistance
in obtaining European Union funding and customs brokerage services.

Custody services
The Group offers investment and pension fund custody administration services as well as securities account
services, securities processing, sub-custodian services for international banks, brokers and funds, and voting
services. The Bank is a custodian bank for a number of large corporate and retail clients across the Baltic and CIS
countries and offers these clients safe-keeping services in respect of their Baltic and other securities.

Certain Group companies are members of the three Baltic central depository systems as well as the delivery
versus payment settlement system of the Depository Clearing Company in Russia.

European Union funds


On 1 May 2004, Latvia became a full member of the EU. One of the challenges faced by Latvia on joining the EU
is to align its economic and social development with that of the existing EU member countries. To help to

49
facilitate integration, Latvia is able to utilise capital allocated from EU funds. The Bank works with clients to
help them to satisfy the necessary eligibility criteria for obtaining EU funding and to provide bridging loans in the
interim period. The Bank’s services connected with these EU funds are therefore closely related to lending
opportunities.

Customs brokerage
Parex Broker System was established in 1998 to provide its customers with a full range of customs brokerage
services. In co-operation with other Group companies, Parex Broker System and its subsidiary in Lithuania
provide customs clearance services, insurance and payment of customs fees services to export, import and transit
freight managers and transporters.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
Outside Latvia, the Group’s principal operations are in Lithuania, Estonia, Switzerland and certain CIS countries.

The Group has operated in Lithuania since 2000, when the Bank acquired the entity now known as Parex Bankas.
Parex Bankas has 14 branches and customer service centres covering all major cities in Lithuania and is the tenth
largest bank in Lithuania by assets according to data provided by the Bank of Lithuania. In 2003, the Group
introduced leasing services in Lithuania by establishing UAB Parex Lizingas ir Faktoringas (‘‘Parex Lizingas ir
Faktoringas’’). This company enables its customers to acquire various items on leasing terms and conditions,
including real estate, vehicles, work equipment and white goods. As at 31 December 2005, the combined assets of
Parex Bankas and Parex Lizingas ir Faktoringas were LVL 110.0 million.

In Estonia, the Bank opened a representative office in Tallinn in 2001 and, in 2004, opened its first branch in the
country. Parex Leasing & Factoring commenced operations in Estonia in 2003 and has originated loans and
leases since then, ranging from consumer finance to railroad car finance. As at 31 December 2005, the assets of
Parex Leasing & Factoring in Estonia were LVL 16.9 million.

In 2004, the Bank acquired all of the shares of AP Anlage & Privatbank, a loss-making Swiss private bank
located in the Greater Zurich area. This acquisition made Parex the first bank in Latvia to obtain a licence to
operate in the Swiss banking market. AP Anlage & Privatbank positions itself as a traditional Swiss bank focused
on private banking, investment consulting and asset management for clients originating from the Group’s home
markets. In addition, AP Anlage & Privatbank co-operates with PAM to offer a range of financial and equity
products from companies in the Baltic countries and CEE to Swiss institutional and private investors. In 2005, the
number of customers of AP Anlage & Privatbank increased by 164% and its assets under management exceeded
65 million Swiss francs (equivalent to EUR 45 million), and generated 0.6 million Swiss francs (or EUR 0.4
million) of net profit, thus achieving profitability within 18 months following its acquisition.

In the beginning of 2005, the Bank’s Management Board resolved to expand the Group’s lending operations in a
number of CIS countries. During the first half of 2005, the Bank acquired a number of leasing companies, which
provide mainly car leasing services, in CIS countries. These companies are based in Moscow and St. Petersburg
(Russia), Kiev (Ukraine), Minsk (Belarus) and Baku (Azerbaijan). The Bank is also currently analysing the
Uzbek market to determine the potential for establishing a leasing operation there.

The Group’s representative offices do not engage in commercial activity. Their principal activity is marketing
and providing information regarding the services offered by companies within the Group, investment
opportunities in Latvia, the other Baltic countries and other countries in which Group companies operate. The
Group has 12 representative offices in 10 countries: Frankfurt am Main (Germany), Stockholm (Sweden), Tokyo
(Japan), Moscow and St. Petersburg (Russia), Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine), Minsk (Belarus), Almaty
(Kazakhstan), Chisinau (Moldova), Baku (Azerbaijan) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan). The Bank also has a
subsidiary in London that acts as a representative office with a full time representative covering London-based
banking relationships.

COMPETITION
Because approximately 90% of the Group’s income originates from its Latvian customers and approximately
90% of its assets are in Latvia, the competition that most significantly affects the Group is that which it faces in
Latvia.

As at 31 December 2005, there were 22 domestic banks in Latvia, one branch of a foreign bank and five
representative offices of foreign banks. Based on data provided by the Association of Latvian Banks, the Latvian
banking sector made an aggregate LVL 193 million profit in 2005, a 66% increase from 2004 when the figure was

50
LVL 116 million. The total assets of the banking sector were LVL 10,943 million at 31 December 2005. There
has been significant growth in the Latvian banking sector in recent years (see, for example, the second table
below) and, given that market penetration of a range of banking services remains below EU averages,
management of the Bank believes that this growth is likely to continue, at least in the near future.

The Latvian banking sector has been largely privatised with only 6.6% of capital remaining in government
ownership. More than 50% of the non-government controlled capital is foreign-owned.

The following table shows certain financial data for the five largest Latvian banks in terms of assets as at
31 December 2005.

Although there are still a relatively large number of banks in Latvia, there is significant concentration as the three
largest banks in terms of assets, AS Hansabanka (‘‘Hansabanka’’), AS SEB Latvijas Unibanka (‘‘SEB Latvijas
Unibanka’’) and the Bank, account for more than 50% of the total banking sector’s assets. The Bank faces its
most significant competition from Hansabanka and SEB Latvijas Unibanka.

The table below illustrates the growth in assets of the five largest Latvian banks by assets for the three years
ended 31 December 2005.

Bank’s financial statements.

The Group also experiences competition in relation to its investment banking, asset management and securities
brokerage businesses. In investment banking, the competitors are principally AS Suprema Securities (a brokerage,
asset management and corporate finance advisory company) and IBS Prudentia (an investment banking and
financial advisory firm), as none of the other major Latvian banks are very active in the field. In asset
management, the principal competitors are Hansabanka and SEB Latvijas Unibanka whilst in securities
brokerage the main competitors are Hansabanka, AS Suprema Securities and SEB Latvijas Unibanka.

The Group believes that its principal competitive strengths include:

r its respected pan-Baltic brand;

r its ability to export domestically proven strategies to nearby markets;

r its ability to attract and retain deposits from its customers, evidenced by the fact that at 31 December 2005
it retained the leading market share of customer deposits in Latvia;

51
r its prudent lending policy and risk management procedures reflected in the fact that the Group has
managed to retain high asset quality at a time of significant expansion in its loan portfolio;

r its expertise in the Baltic and CIS asset management markets;

r its ability to attract and motivate high-level professional staff evidenced by low turnover rates in senior
management positions;

r its proven management track record, with a compound annual growth rate in profit before tax since 1998
in excess of 50%; and

r its strong asset quality and capital base, with a Group capital adequacy ratio of 11.7% at 31 December
2005 (3.7% above the level required by Basle Committee guidelines).

COMPLIANCE
Anti-money laundering legislation has been in force in Latvia since 1998 and the Bank’s anti-money laundering
procedures are described below. Similar legislation is in place in other countries in which the Group operates and
similar procedures, tailored where applicable to the relevant market are followed by the relevant Group
companies. To comply with the Latvian legislation, the Bank has strict know-your-customer (‘‘KYC’’)
procedures which are used when new accounts are opened and are also applied to all existing clients. Accounts
are also monitored daily, with suspicious activity reported to the Office of the Prosecutor by the Bank’s
compliance department.

The Bank’s anti-money laundering procedures are reviewed and revised annually by its compliance department.
The policies include client identification and KYC, monitoring of client transactions, reporting of unusual and
suspicious transactions, client acceptance and termination as well as training of the Bank’s employees. There are
no specific differences in the procedures applied to Latvian residents and non-residents although clients who
complete applications to open accounts in representative offices are subject to review and approval by the Bank’s
client monitoring department.

All clients are required to provide identification information and relevant originals or certified copies of
identification documents. In addition, all clients are required to fill out a questionnaire containing detailed
questions on their background, sources of income, volumes of planned transactions as well as other information.
If the information provided in the questionnaire indicates that a customer should be classified as a high risk
customer, copies of additional documents (such as invoices, contracts and proof of sources of funds) are required.
Depending on the client category, an additional background search may be conducted. In certain cases a decision
on client acceptance is referred to the client monitoring department or the Management Board.

According to an independent third-party audit performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP in 2005, the Bank’s
anti-money laundering and combating terrorist financing procedures are in compliance with:

r applicable Latvian law;

r Latvian FCMC guidelines;

r FATF 40+9 recommendations;

r the best practices discussed in the Basel and Wolfsberg AML papers; and

r the U.S. Patriot Act and other anti-money laundering and combating terrorist financing regulations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as a claimant and as a defendant, in the ordinary course of its
banking business. The Group is not currently involved in any such proceedings which could have a significant
adverse affect on its financial position.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Group’s systems, including the GLOBUS programme (Temenos, United Kingdom), CORTEX card system
(Nomad Software, United Kingdom) and the platform for the TWISTER remote customer service system
(DataDesign AG, Germany), are constantly monitored and updated where necessary to ensure that a secure and

52
high quality service can be provided and that the systems afford the opportunity to develop and introduce new
banking services.

The Group’s security policy in relation to its information technology (‘‘IT’’) systems is in compliance with
FCMC requirements as well as best practices of Cobit and ISO 17799. In particular, the Group has in place
CheckPoint Firewall VPN-1 and ISS RealSecure 6.0 Network Sensor software and its internet server is placed in
a separate DMZ network to protect its internet banking service from viruses and hackers. The Group also uses
Firewall software and Cisco routers access lists to protect its ATM network.

In 2004, the Group initiated an IT infrastructure library (‘‘ITIL’’) implementation project in order to re-organise
its IT structure. As part of this project, information systems and resources are regularly evaluated using external
ITIL consultants to increase their effectiveness and efficiency as well as to ensure the security of the Group’s
information technology and information management systems.

LENDING AND SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION

LENDING
In terms of gross revenue generated, lending is the Group’s most significant business activity. In 2005, gross
revenue from lending generated LVL 54.5 million, or 42.2% of the Group’s total gross revenues in that year, a
44.3% increase compared to the LVL 37.8 million gross revenues generated in 2004.

The Group’s loan portfolio (which, in addition to standard loans, includes utilised credit lines and overdrafts,
loans under reverse repurchase agreements, finance leases, factoring and plastic card credit balances) grew by
27% from LVL 692 million as at 31 December 2004 to LVL 879 million as at 31 December 2005. Within this, the
Group’s mortgage loan portfolio grew by 53.3% to LVL 345 million in 2005. The total loan portfolio grew at a
compound average rate of 27% in the period between 2001 and 2005, and is expected to continue to grow at
around 20-25% in the near future as the GDP of the Baltic countries continues to expand and because the
proportion of total loans and leases to GDP in the Baltic countries is still low compared to Western countries.

The Group principally makes loans to customers in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

LEASING
The Bank’s banking licence permits it to provide financial leasing services only. In order to expand its activities
in the leasing field, the Bank established a leasing company in Latvia to offer both operating and financial leases
to its clients. In August 2005, the leasing company was renamed SIA Parex Express Kredits (‘‘Parex Express
Credit’’) with a view to it also offering its customers hire purchase and other consumer financing contracts. Parex
Express Credit retained the legacy leasing portfolio, which, at 31 December 2005, amounted to LVL 8 million. At
the same time that Parex Express Credit was renamed, the Bank established a new leasing company in Latvia
(‘‘Parex Leasing & Factoring Latvia’’) with a view to providing car, truck and industrial equipment leases as
well as the finance of travel and medical costs among other products. The goal for Parex Leasing & Factoring
Latvia in 2006 is to gain a 10% market share in financial and operating leases for cars, trucks and industrial
equipment in Latvia.

The Bank has provided leasing facilities in Estonia and Lithuania since 2003 and has also recently acquired a
number of leasing companies in CIS countries, see ‘‘Description of the Group – International Operations’’.

CREDIT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES


A brief outline of the Bank’s credit approval, collateral and credit monitoring policies and procedures is set out
below. Loans and advances made by the Bank accounted for approximately 88% of all loans and advances made
by the Group in 2005. Except where indicated, other Group companies follow a broadly similar approach,
tailored to their respective markets.

Credit approval
The Bank’s credit analysis teams analyse all material loan applications. The analysis of potential borrowers
identifies key risks and ways to manage them. The results of each analysis are presented to the Bank’s Credit
Committee as part of the lending approval process. The Bank has a tiered hierarchy of delegated approval
authorities as described below. The ultimate approval body is the Management Board.

The internal risk pricing of corporate loans is based on the creditworthiness of the borrowers and the credit rating
assigned by the Bank to the loan. The Bank uses a financial statements-based internal scoring model for assessing
and monitoring all its corporate borrowers. These ratings are reviewed on a quarterly basis. In cases where the
rating deviates from certain defined benchmarks, a more in-depth analysis of the borrower is performed. In
addition, the Bank performs regular reviews of its existing borrowers in order to detect early signals of loan
quality deterioration and to take appropriate action.

The Bank’s loan supervision department monitors problem loans and, where appropriate, can refer them to the
legal department for enforcement action to be taken.

The FCMC has strict regulations which limit credit exposure to individual clients to less than 25% of the Bank’s
equity and its total credit exposure to related parties, other than consolidated subsidiaries, to less than 15% of the
Bank’s equity. The FCMC requires regular reports on the Bank’s credit portfolio.

57
The following table sets forth the approval authority of the Bank’s Credit Committee and authorised lending
officers when making decisions on loans to clients.

Approval authority Approval limit


Management Board (which may review Credit
Committee decisions) None, except exposure limits set by FCMC
Credit Committee None, except exposure limits set by FCMC
Vice President of Lending LVL 200,000
Head of Corporate Lending and Leasing LVL 200,000
Head of Private and SME Lending and Leasing LVL 200,000
Head of CIS countries Lending development LVL 200,000
Head of Regional Lending and Leasing LVL 80,000
Branch managers with credit approval authority Up to LVL 120,000

Branch managers have different approval limits based on their experience and the size of their branch. When
approving new loans, the total exposure to a client or client group is taken into account and not just the amount of
the loan concerned.

Guideline interest rates and commissions in all loan categories are approved by the credit committee based on the
base rates established by ALCO. Interest and commission rates for individual loans are set at or above the
guideline rates. Only the credit committee and management board (which is empowered to review and revise
credit committee decisions) are authorised to approve loan terms that differ from the interest rate and commission
guidelines established by the credit committee.

Collateral policy
The Bank’s standard practice is to require collateral before granting a loan. Exceptions to this practice include
loans to governments or municipalities in the Baltic countries or loans guaranteed by such entities, intra Group
loans, corporate overdrafts not exceeding 30% of the client’s monthly turnover and consumer loans through debit
balances on credit cards or made by Parex Express Credit. The collateral taken by the Bank includes first
mortgages on real estate and transport vehicles (such as ships or railway carriages), subject to satisfactory
appraisal by independent appraisers. For short-term loans used for working capital finance, a corporate
borrower’s inventory or receivables may be accepted as security, subject to satisfactory appraisal by Group
employees. In this case, personal shareholder guarantees may also be required.

When evaluating the collateral proposed for a loan, the Bank considers loan to value ratios, the liquidity of the
collateral and whether there are any particular legal issues that may impact enforcement of the collateral, such as
registration requirements.

Credit monitoring
The Bank has established detailed procedures for monitoring its credit exposures. These procedures aim to:

r ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit approval;

r review performance of the borrowers against any projections given; and

r detect early warning signals and take appropriate corrective actions.

The Bank requires its corporate borrowers to submit quarterly financial statements and these are analysed by the
Bank’s credit analysts. The Bank may also make on-site inspections of its borrowers where this is considered
appropriate.

If the financial statement analysis indicates that a borrower’s financial situation is deteriorating or the forecasted
performance has not been achieved, a more detailed examination of the borrower’s financial standing is carried
out, assessing the reasons for the deteriorating performance and analysing the borrower’s business and potential
future development. In addition, the Bank may perform stock inspections and stock audits on a regular basis. If an
examination indicates that the loan repayment is at risk, a decision is taken regarding the transfer of the loan to
the loan supervision department or the legal department for enforcement by the legal department.

The Bank’s internal audit department provides an independent assessment of the credit quality of the borrowers
and the Bank’s credit management processes.

58
LOAN LOSS PROVISIONS
The Bank uses the following risk categories in order to establish the allowance specified below for impairment in
accordance with FCMC regulations:

r Standard 0%

r Watchlist 10%

r Substandard 30%

r Doubtful 60%

r Lost 100%

Watchlist loans are loans where:

r business conditions have changed and may negatively impact the borrower;

r there are signs of increased risk in respect of the borrower’s financial position; and

r the interest or principal payment is overdue by up to 30 days.

Substandard loans are loans where:

r the borrower’s cash flows are not sufficient to make regular loan payments; and

r the interest or principal payment is overdue by between 31 and 90 days.

Doubtful loans are loans where:

r the borrower is experiencing liquidity problems; and

r interest or principal payments are overdue by between 91 and 180 days.

Lost loans are loans where:

r interest and/or principal is overdue for more than 180 days; and

r the borrower is insolvent.

In all cases, when a decision is taken on the level of allowance to be established, the value of collateral is also
taken into account. If the collateral has a current market value, can be quickly sold in a liquid market and there
are no legal difficulties in selling the collateral, the allowance for impairment is decreased by the net realisable
value of the collateral.

The Bank considers both specific and general risks in determining its allowance for impairment, see ‘‘Financial
Review’’.

Once it has been determined that a loan cannot be recovered, the credit committee decides when to write-off the
loan and charge it against the allowance for impairment. It is the Bank’s policy to provide 100% for lost loans but
not to write them off until all necessary legal procedures are completed and the amount of the loss is finally
determined.

between 5 and 7 years. The majority of the Group’s corporate loans have been granted to private companies,
followed by corporate loans to municipalities and state owned enterprises.

Consumer lending relates primarily to mortgages, car loans, student loans and other loans to finance the purchase
of consumer products.

The Group’s net loan portfolio grew by 27% in 2005, from LVL 692 million as at 31 December 2004 to
LVL 879 million as at 31 December 2005. As at 31 December 2005, according to the Association of Latvian
Commercial Banks, the Bank had a 11.9% market share of loans made by Latvian banks. The majority of the
Group’s credit exposure was to the private sector, consisting of corporate loans (67%), retail loans (32%) and
public and religious institutions (1%).

Loans by lender
The Group’s loan portfolio comprises loans and advances made by the Bank and Parex Express Credit in Latvia,
Parex Bankas and Parex Faktoringas ir Lizingas in Lithuania, Parex Leasing & Factoring in Estonia and the
leasing subsidiaries in the CIS countries. The following table shows the division of these loans as at the dates

As at 31 December 2005, loans and advances made by the Bank accounted for 88.1% of the Group’s loan
portfolio (compared with 87.2% at 31 December 2004). Parex Bankas in Lithuania had the second largest loan
portfolio (6.4%) followed by Parex Leasing & Factoring in Estonia (1.9%).

The increase in the Bank’s loan portfolio was achieved by lending to industries where the Bank has a competitive
advantage through its detailed knowledge of the relevant industry, principally the sea and railway transport
industries, and to market segments which experienced significant growth during the year, principally mortgage
lending and real estate development and management.

Approximately 43% of the Group’s net loan portfolio consists of euro denominated loans. The proportion of
US dollar denominated loans has significantly decreased in the Group’s loan portfolio (from 50% at
31 December 2004 to 38% at 31 December 2005) although the amount of such loans has remained relatively
constant. This reflects the impact of the pegging of the lat to the euro on 31 December 2004 on new borrowing
since then.

Reflecting relatively high interest rates for lat denominated loans and the pegging of the lat to euro, the volume of
the Group’s lat denominated loans has also slightly decreased as many clients with income in lats have preferred
to borrow in euros.

Loan by collateral type


As at 31 December 2005, loans and advances totalling LVL 21.1 million or 2.4% of the Group’s total portfolio of
gross loans and advances to customers were classified as zero risk since they were collateralised by cash deposits.
At 31 December 2004, the equivalent numbers were LVL 20.8 million and 3%, respectively.

(2) Forecasted by Ministry of Finance of Latvia

Based on a speech given by the Governor of the Bank of Latvia in January 2006, Latvian real GDP growth for
2005 was 10.2% and rapid economic expansion is expected to continue in 2006, with an approximate 8% increase
forecast for GDP in that year. In terms of inflation, the annual average inflation in 2005, at 6.7%, was 0.5% above
the 2004 level. The average consumer price rise recorded for 2005 was an all-time high since 1997 and is
considered a potential hazard to further rapid growth of the economy.

The Governor also noted in his speech that, according to preliminary information, the overall fiscal deficit of the
general government basic budget stood at LVL 97.1 million in 2005 (compared with LVL 133.8 million in 2004)
and, at the end of November 2005, the debt of the central and local governments totalled LVL 993.8 million.

THE LATVIAN BANKING SECTOR AND ITS DEVELOPMENT


As at 31 December 2005, there were 22 domestic banks in Latvia, one branch of a foreign bank and five
representative offices of foreign banks. In 2005 and based on data provided by the Association of Latvian Banks,
the Latvian banking sector made an aggregate LVL 193 million profit, a 66% increase from 2004 when the figure
was LVL 116 million. The total assets of the banking sector were LVL 10,943 million at 31 December 2005.

The Latvian banking sector has been largely privatised with only 6.6% of capital remaining in government
ownership. More than 50% of the remaining capital is foreign-owned.

Bank of Latvia
The main objective of the Bank of Latvia, as set out in the Law ‘‘On the Bank of Latvia’’ (the ‘‘Law’’) is to
regulate the amount of money in circulation with the aim of maintaining price stability through the
implementation of monetary policy.

The Bank of Latvia’s independence is guaranteed by the Law. The Governor of the Bank is appointed by the
Saeima of the Republic of Latvia. Likewise, upon the Governor’s recommendation, it appoints members of the
Board of Governors for a six-year term. The Governor, the Deputy Governor and any member of the Board of
Governors may be discharged before the end of his term of office only if he has tendered his resignation, been
convicted of certain criminal offences or is not able to officiate for a period exceeding six successive months
because of illness or another reason.

The Law prohibits the Bank of Latvia from granting direct credit to the Government to cover its budget deficit.
Similarly, the Bank of Latvia does not have the right to buy government securities on the primary market.

The Bank of Latvia has developed and is using the same full set of indirect market based monetary policy
instruments that are used by the European Central Bank.

On 18 May 2000, the Bank of Latvia was assigned quality management ISO 9002 certification. The Bank of
Latvia has adjusted its quality management system to the new version of the standard and on 7 May 2003
received certification confirming compliance with ISO 9001:2000.

Movement of capital and the payment system


Both current and capital account transactions have been fully liberalised in Latvia. There are virtually no
restrictions on cash and capital flows to and from Latvia. The Bank of Latvia ensures full convertibility of the lat
by buying from and selling to banks unlimited amounts of euro at their request.

In 2000, the Bank of Latvia introduced the real-time gross settlement system SAMS (an inter-bank automated
payment system), which enables safe and efficient settlement on the Latvian interbank market and in the Bank of
Latvia’s monetary policy operations. Along with Latvia’s full future participation in European Economic and
Monetary Union and the introduction of the euro, the Bank of Latvia also envisages joining TARGET, the single
European payment system.

Banking legislation
General. The legislative framework for banking in Latvia meets applicable EU requirements in full, and in some
areas the requirements are more rigorous. IFRS have been fully introduced and banks are audited by
internationally recognised auditing firms. Practical supervision of the banking sector in Latvia is tight and bank
inspections are conducted more frequently than in many other EU Member States.

Legislation. The Law ‘‘On Credit Institutions’’ (the ‘‘Banking Law’’), which has been in force since
24 October 1995, has been amended on several occasions. The instructions and regulations of the FCMC and the
Bank of Latvia complement the provisions of the Banking Law and are binding on all credit institutions. All
regulations for measuring the performance of credit institutions and their reporting procedures conform to
applicable EU standards.

The Law ‘‘On Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds Derived from Criminal Activity’’ which has been in force
since 1 June 1998 also conforms to the relevant EU directives: it requires customer identification and record
keeping on all transactions, identification of suspicious and unusual transactions, and their reporting to the Board
of Prevention of Legalization of Proceeds from Criminal Activity.

The Law ‘‘On Deposit Guarantees’’, which has been in force since 1 October 1998, provides that as of 1 January
2004, irrespective of the depositing date, deposits of up to LVL 9,000 per depositor to whom the provisions of
this law apply are guaranteed. By 2008, the amount of the guarantee is to be raised to LVL 13,000, the level
stipulated by the applicable EU directive. Certain groups of depositors are excluded from the guarantee
provisions.

Since 1 July 2001, the FCMC has been responsible for supervising the financial sector. According to the
International Monetary Fund, banking supervision in Latvia is among the strictest in Central and Eastern Europe.

LATVIA’S INTEGRATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO


Following Latvia’s accession to the EU, the Bank of Latvia’s policy has been aimed at preparing the country for a
full participation in European Economic and Monetary Union. Latvia currently complies with the interest rate
and budget deficit and government debt (as a percentage of GDP) Maastricht convergence criteria necessary for
joining such monetary union. However, its inflation rate remains above the required rate and it will not have
satisfied the exchange rate criteria until 1 January 2008 at the earliest.

The table below shows the relevant Maastricht criteria (other than the exchange rate criteria) and Latvia’s
performance in relation to them for the years indicated:

2004 2005
Criteria Performance Criteria Performance
Budget deficit (% of GDP) 3.0 1.0 3.0 1.0*
Government debt (% of GDP) 60.0 14.7 60.0 10.7*
Average annual inflation rate (%) 2.2 6.2 2.5 6.9
Interest rate on long-term government debt (%) 6.28 4.58 5.37 3.88
* Estimated by PAM.

69
On 1 January 2005, the lat was pegged to the euro and on 2 May 2005 Latvia joined the Exchange Rate
Mechanism II (ERM II). ERM II is both an arrangement for exchange rate pegging and a procedure for testing the
maturity of euro-adopting accession countries. Having joined ERM II, Latvia’s monetary system will have to
operate within it for at least two years to satisfy the applicable convergence criteria. Accordingly, adoption of the
euro is not expected to take place before 1 January 2008 at the earliest, assuming all other criteria are met.

70
TAXATION

The following is a general description of certain Latvian tax considerations relating to the Notes. It does not
purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Notes whether in those countries or
elsewhere. Prospective purchasers of Notes should consult their own tax advisers as to the consequences under
the tax laws of the country of which they are resident for tax purposes and the tax laws of the Republic of Latvia
of acquiring, holding and disposing of Notes and receiving payments of interest, principal and/or other amounts
under the Notes. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this Prospectus and is subject to
any change in law that may take effect after such date.

EU Savings Tax Directive


Under European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income, each Member State is
required, from 1 July 2005, to provide to the tax authorities of another Member State details of payments of
interest or other similar income paid by a person within its jurisdiction to, or collected by such person for, an
individual resident in that other Member State; however, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg may instead apply a
withholding system for a transitional period in relation to such payments, deducting tax at rates rising over time
to 35 per cent. The transitional period is to terminate at the end of the first-full fiscal year following agreement by
certain non-EU countries to the exchange of information relating to such payments.

Also with effect from 1 July 2005, a number of non-EU countries, and certain dependent or associated territories
of certain Member States, have agreed to adopt similar measures (either provision of information or transitional
withholding) in relation to payments made by a person within its jurisdiction to, or collected by such a person for,
an individual resident in a Member State. In addition, the Member States have entered into reciprocal provision of
information or transitional withholding arrangements with certain of those dependent or associated territories in
relation to payments made by a person in a Member State to, or collected by such a person for, an individual
resident in one of those territories.

Latvian Taxation
Under existing Latvian laws and regulations all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes and all
payments by the Issuer under the Subscription Agreement and the Issue Documents may be made free and clear
of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of
whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Latvia or any political subdivision or
authority thereof or therein having power to tax, (1) except for fiscal obligations of the persons having some
connection to the Republic of Latvia other than the mere holding of the Notes; (2) or if the recipient of interest
income is a party related to the Issuer; (3) or where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an
individual, irrespective of the connection with the Republic of Latvia; (4) or the recipient of such income is a
person registered in a low or zero tax jurisdiction. In relation to items (3) and (4) above, payments under the
Notes will be made by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent, a corporate entity, currently not registered in a low or zero
tax jurisdiction.

The gains realized by non-residents derived from the sale or exchange of the Notes will not be subject to any
Latvian income or capital gains tax, and no Latvian stamp duty, registration, transfer or similar taxes will be
payable in connection with the acquisition, ownership, sale or disposal of Notes by non-residents providing that
the sale or exchange of Notes will take place outside the territory of Latvia.

71
SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and HSBC Bank plc (the ‘‘Joint-Lead Managers’’) and SC Parex banka and

cent. of their principal amount plus any accrued interest in respect thereof and less a combined management,
selling and underwriting commission of 0.25 per cent. of their principal amount. The Issuer has also agreed to
reimburse Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and HSBC Bank plc for certain of their expenses incurred in
connection with the management of the issue of the Notes. The Managers are entitled in certain circumstances to
be released and discharged from their obligations under the Subscription Agreement prior to the closing of the
issue of the Notes.

European Economic Area


In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus
Directive (each, a ‘‘Relevant Member State’’), each Manager has represented and agreed that with effect from
and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the
‘‘Relevant Implementation Date’’) it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes to the public in that
Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Notes which has been approved
by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant
Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the
Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make
an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

(a) to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so

(c) in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the Issuer of a prospectus pursuant to
Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an ‘‘offer of Notes to the public’’ in relation to any Notes in
any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on
the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the
Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in
that Member State and the expression ‘‘Prospectus Directive’’ means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), which comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), and International Accounting Standards and Standing Interpretations Committee interpretations approved
by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), effective as at 31 December 2005. Certain
disclosures are prepared in the format required by the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC).

A summary of the Group’s principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout
the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2004, except that the Group has adopted those new/ revised standards
mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2005, is set out below.

Changes in Accounting Policies


In 2005 the Group adopted those IFRS that were amended in 2004 and are mandatory for financial years beginning
on or after 1 January 2005. The adoption of those standards did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s
accounting policies, except for:
- IFRS 3, IAS 36 and IAS 38, which have affected the treatment of goodwill;
- IAS 27, which has changed the measurement of investments in subsidiaries.
The principle effects of these changes in policies are described below.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

The adoption of IFRS 3 and related IAS 36 (revised 2004) and IAS 38 (revised 2004) has resulted in a change in
the accounting policy for goodwill. Until 31 December 2004, goodwill had been:
- Amortised on a straight-line basis; and
- Assessed for an indication of impairment at each balance sheet date.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3:
- The Group ceased amortization of goodwill from 1 January 2005;
- Accumulated amortization as at 31 December 2004 has been eliminated with a corresponding decrease in
the cost of goodwill;
- From the year ended 31 December 2004 onwards, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, as well as
when there are indications of impairment.

AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

The carrying amount of deferred corporate income tax asset, if any, is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of
the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

h) Leases

Finance – Group as lessor

Finance leases, which confer rights and obligations similar to those attached to owned assets, are recognised as
assets and liabilities at amounts equal at the inception of the lease to the fair value of the leased property or, if
lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The finance income is allocated to periods during the
lease term to produce a constant periodic return on the net investments outstanding in respect of the finance leases.

For the purposes of these financial statements, finance lease receivables are included in loans and advances to
customers.

Operating – Group as lessor

The Group presents assets subject to operating leases in the balance sheets according to the nature of the asset.
Lease income from operating leases is recognized in statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term
as other income. The aggregate cost of incentives provided to lessees is recognized as a reduction of rental income
over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Initial direct costs incurred specifically to earn revenues from an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset.

The depreciation policy for depreciable leased assets is consistent with the lessor’s normal depreciation policy for
similar assets, and depreciation is calculated in accordance with accounting policies, used for the Group’s property,
plant and equipment.

Operating – Group as lessee

Leases of assets under which the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified
as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis
over the lease term and included into other administrative and operating expenses.

i) Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group has granted commercial and consumer loans to customers throughout its market area. The economic
condition of the market area may have an impact on the borrowers’ ability to repay their debts. The Management of
the Group have considered both specific and portfolio-level risks in determining the balance of impairment
allowance for possible credit losses. Impairment allowance for possible credit losses is established to represent the
estimated amounts of probable losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date. The specific element of the
impairment relates to credits that have objective evidence of impairment. The specific impairment loss is determined
after individual review of all credits with objective indications of potential impairment. The collective impairment
of the loan portfolio relates to the potential losses, which experience indicates are present in the Group’s portfolio of
loans and receivables, but have not yet been specifically identified through the specific review of those financial
assets.

The specific impairment for possible credit losses is assessed as a difference between the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loans’ original effective interest rate and the loan’s outstanding balance. The
value of collateral held in connection with loans is based on the estimated realisable value of the asset and is taken
into account when estimating present values of expected future cash flows.

The collective impairment allowance is estimated based upon historical pattern of losses in the loan portfolio, as
well as taking into account credit concentration risk, changes in collateral values, current economic conditions and
general market or operating events that have occurred prior to the balance sheet date and might negatively impact
the future cash flows from certain loans and receivables balances outstanding, but for which a specific credit risk
provision is not yet quantifiable.

Non-performing loans and receivables from customers, including banking institutions, are defined as loans and
other credit balances in which contractually due principal is 14 days or more overdue, contractually due interest is

F-11
F-11
19
AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

90 days or more overdue, or the Management otherwise believe that the contractual interest or principal due will not
be collected.

When loans and advances cannot be recovered, they are written-off and charged against impairment allowance.
They are not written-off until all the necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is
finally determined.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed.
Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income, to the extent that the
carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

j) Financial assets

The Group recognises financial asset on its balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When
financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair
value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The classification of investments between the
categories is determined at acquisition based on the guidelines established by the Management.

All “regular way” purchases and sales of investments are recognised using settlement date accounting. The
settlement date is the date when an asset is delivered to or by the Group. Settlement day refers to the recognition of
an asset on the day it is transferred to the Group and to the derecognition of an asset, on the day that it is transferred
by the Group. All other purchases or sales are recognised as derivative instruments until settlement occurs.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category “financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss”. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are either acquired for generating a profit
from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer’s margin, or are included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-
term profit taking exists. Held for trading financial assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently re-
measured at fair value based on available market prices. The result of re-measuring trading financial assets at fair
value is charged directly to the statement of income.

Held to maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to
maturity if the Group has both the positive intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. Held to maturity
financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for
impairment.

A financial asset is impaired if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The amount of
the impairment loss for assets carried at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the financial instrument’s original
effective interest rate.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are
recognised in income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the
amortisation process.

Loans and receivables are recognised at their settlement date. From the date of signing a contractual agreement till
the settlement date they are accounted for as off balance sheet items.

When the loans and advances cannot be recovered, they are written-off and charged against impairment for possible

F-12
F-12
20
AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

credit losses. The management of the Group makes the decision on writing-off loans. Recoveries of loans
previously written-off are credited to the statement of income.

Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale
or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. The Group’s available for sale financial assets are
intended to be held for an undefined period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes
in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices are classified as available for sale.

Available for sale financial assets are initially stated at cost and subsequently re-measured at fair value based on
available market prices or quotes of brokers. The result of fair value revaluation of available for sale securities is
recognised in equity as a fair value revaluation reserve. The difference between the cost and amortised cost
determined by the effective interest rate method is treated as interest income or expense. When the securities are
disposed of, the related accumulated fair value revaluation is included in the statement of income as profit/(loss)
from trading with securities available for sale. If there is objective evidence that the value of an investment has been
impaired, the cumulative net loss that has been recognised directly in equity is charged to the statement of income
and the asset is stated in the balance sheet at the recoverable amount calculated as discounted future cash flows
using current market interest rate for similar financial assets.

k) Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised where:
x the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
x the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or retained the right to receive cash
flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party
under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and
x the Group either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is
recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the
form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset
and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option
or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the
transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-
settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing
involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

l) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets in Group accounts comprise goodwill from the acquisition of subsidiaries, as well as software,
capitalised costs relating to leasehold rights and other intangible assets.

F-13
F-13
21
AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries in Group accounts is recorded at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date, or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired.

Leasehold rights are amortised over the remaining lease contract on a straight-line basis. Annual amortisation rates
applied on a straight-line basis to software and other intangible assets range from 20% to 50%.

m) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation less any impairment losses. Fixed assets
are periodically reviewed for impairment. If the recoverable value of a fixed asset is lower than its carrying amount,
the respective asset is written down to its recoverable value.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The
following depreciation rates have been applied:

Annual
Category depreciation rate
Buildings 2%
Transport vehicles 20%
Other fixed assets 20% - 33%

Leasehold improvements are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining lease contract period on a straight-line
basis. Assets under construction are not depreciated.

Certain reconstruction and renovation costs of buildings, which improve their quality and performance, are
capitalised and amortised over the estimated useful life of the reconstruction works on a straight-line basis.

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to the statement of income as incurred.

n) Sale and Repurchase Agreements

These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions. Under sale and repurchase agreements, where the
Group is the transferor, assets transferred remain on the Group’s balance sheet and are subject to the Group’s usual
accounting policies, with the purchase price received included as a liability owed to the transferee.

Where the Group is the transferee, the assets are not included in the Group’s balance sheet, but the purchase price
paid by it to the transferor is included as an asset. Interest income or expense arising from outstanding sale and
repurchase agreements is recognised in the statement of income over the term of the agreement.

o) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

In the ordinary course of business, the Group engages as a party to contracts for forward foreign exchange rate,
currency and interest rate swap instruments and other financial instruments. For the accounting purposes, all
derivatives are classified as held for trading purposes and accounted for as follows.

Subsequent to initial recognition and measurement, outstanding forward foreign exchange rate contracts, currency
swaps and other financial instruments are carried in the balance sheet at their fair value. The fair value of these
instruments is recognised on the balance sheet under designated assets and liabilities caption “Derivative financial
instruments”. The notional amounts of these financial instruments are reported in off-balance sheet accounts.

Gains or losses from changes in the fair value of outstanding forward foreign exchange rate contracts, currency and
interest rate swaps and other financial instruments are recognised in the statement of income as they arise.

Hedge accounting

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified into two categories: (a) fair value hedges which hedge
the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; and (b) cash flow hedges which hedge

F-14
F-14
22
AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset
or liability or a forecasted transaction.

In relation to hedges (fair value and cash flow hedges), which meet the conditions for hedge accounting, any gain or
loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument to fair value is recognised immediately in the statement of income
and the part of effective cash flow hedge is accounted for in equity. The hedged item is adjusted for fair value
changes relating to the risk being hedged and the difference is recognised in the statement of income. Where the
adjustment relates to a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortised to the statement of
income on a systematic basis so that it is fully amortised by its maturity date.

For hedges, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of
the hedging instrument are taken directly to the statement of income for the period.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no
longer qualifies for hedge accounting.

p) Borrowings

The Group recognises financial liability on its balance sheet when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

In the balance sheet borrowings are recognised initially at cost amounting to their issue proceeds net of transaction
costs. Subsequently borrowings are stated at amortised cost and any difference between net proceeds and value at
redemption is recognised in the statement of income over the period of borrowings using the effective interest rate.

q) Off-balance Sheet Financial Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is involved with off-balance sheet financial commitments and
contingent liabilities comprising commitments to extend loans and advances, commitments for unutilised credit
lines or credit card limits, financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments and contingent
liabilities are recorded in the financial statements when the commitment is established.

Commitments to extend loans and advances and commitments for unutilised credit lines or credit card limits
represent contractual commitments to make loans and revolving credits. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates, or other termination clauses. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Financial guarantees and letters of credit commit the Group to make payments on behalf of customers contingent
upon the failure of a customer to perform under the terms of the contract. Accordingly, they do not present a
commitment or result in an outflow of funds until the customer defaults.

The methodology for provisioning against possible losses arising from off-balance sheet financial commitments and
contingent liabilities is consistent with that adopted for loans and advances to customers as described in paragraph
r) below.

r) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

s) Trust Activities

Funds managed by the Group on behalf of individuals, corporate customers, trusts and other institutions are not
regarded as assets of the Group and, therefore, are not separately included in the balance sheet. Funds under trust
management are presented in these financial statements only for disclosure purposes.

t) Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled on an arm’s length basis.
Where, in the opinion of the Management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities differ materially from

F-15
F-15
23
AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

their book values, such fair values are separately disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The
Management believe that the book values of balances due from banks, loans and receivables, held to maturity fixed
income securities, deposits from customers, balances due to banks, issued debt securities approximates their market
values.

u) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as the amounts
comprising cash and demand deposits with central banks and other credit institutions less demand deposits due to
other credit institutions.

v) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

w) Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, as
published by the International Accounting Standards Board, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of
contingencies. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements
relate to depreciation and evaluation of impairment for loan losses, provisions for loan commitments and stand-by
facilities, as well as vacation pay accrual.

Below are presented key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date that has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year.

The Group regularly reviews its loans and receivables to assess impairment. The Group uses its experienced
judgement to estimate the amount of any impairment loss in cases where a borrower is in financial difficulties and
there are few available historical data relating to similar borrowers. Similarly, the Group estimates changes in future
cash flows based on the observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of
borrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group.
Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and
objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the group of loans and receivables when scheduling its future
cash flows. The Group uses its experienced judgement to adjust observable data for a group of loans or receivables
to reflect current circumstances.

F-16
F-16

AS Parex banka
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

Employee entitlements to regular vacations are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for
the estimated liability of employee vacation pay based on unused vacations by employees up to the balance sheet
date.

Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of
any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.

x) Subsequent events

Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Bank’s position at the balance sheet date
(adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are
disclosed in the notes when material.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is exposed to various financial risks. Those financial risks include
mainly credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. In order to manage the above risks, the Management of the Group
have approved the risk management policies which are briefly summarised below.

a) Credit risk

Credit risk relates to uncertainty in a counterparty’s ability or willingness to meet its contractual obligations, thus
causing financial loss for the entities within the Group. The Group manages the level of credit risk it undertakes by
establishing limits per individual counterparty, or groups of counterparties with similar characteristics, as well as for
geographical segments, taking into consideration the time duration of such limits. The adequacy of limits is
monitored by the Bank’s Risk Management Committee on a regular basis. Daily monitoring of compliance with
established limits is carried out by the Bank’s Back Office Department. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is
further reduced by obtaining adequate collaterals and guarantees, as well as by exercising rigorous monitoring
procedures of the financial viability of counterparties throughout the contractual relationship.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset,
including derivative financial instruments, in the balance sheet. Analysis of the Group’s credit exposures is
presented in Notes 13, 14, 17, 30 and 33.

b) Market risk

Market risk is the financial risk of uncertainty in the future market value of a portfolio of assets and/or liabilities due
to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and price of commodities or equity instruments. The Group is
mainly exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed on a daily basis by the Bank’s Treasury Department and is
monitored on a regular basis by the Assets and Liabilities Management Committee. Tools used by the Treasury
Department and the Committee include gap analysis, duration analysis and sensitivity analysis. Based on such
analyses, the Group’s cost of funds and market situation, the Committee sets benchmark rates for lending to
customers and accepting of deposits from customers, as well as provides guidelines for the management of the
Bank’s investment portfolio and use of derivative financial instruments. The interest rate repricing analysis of the
Group’s assets and liabilities is presented in Note 35.

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations is also managed by the Treasury Department and the
Assets and Liabilities Management Committee. The Committee determines limits for open positions in individual
currencies as well as for total open positions. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is presented in
Note 36.

As deemed necessary, the Group’s exposure to market risks is further reduced by utilising derivative financial
instruments.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the ability of the Group to meet its financial obligations when they fall due without
incurring substantial losses. The liquidity risk is managed by stringent monitoring and planning of the movements
in the balances of demand deposits with banks and cash on hand, and by allocation of a predetermined proportion of
the Group’s assets in highly liquid financial instruments and short-term deposits. Such proportion is determined
based on the analysis of the maturities of the Bank’s contractual obligations, including outstanding liabilities and
commitments as well as based on the potential calls for withdrawal of funds from current accounts, overnight
deposits, loans and credit lines granted as well as under guarantees issued by the Group. The Group’s assets and
liabilities as well as memorandum items by their remaining contractual maturities are presented in Note 34.

As at 31 December 2005, the Bank has issued student loans in the total amount of LVL 4,239 thousand
(2004: LVL 4,712 thousand). Student loans are issued under the initiative of the Ministry of Education of the
Republic of Latvia and the State Treasury. The State Treasury has arranged the necessary funding and fully
assumes all risks and rewards incident to these loans. Since the Bank only acts as an agent on behalf of the Ministry
of Education and State Treasury, the outstanding balances of the aforementioned loans and the corresponding
deposits are not included in the Bank’s balance sheet.

As at 31 December 2005, loans and advances totalling LVL 21,064 thousand (2004: LVL 20,753 thousand) or 2.4%
(2004: 3%) of the Group’s and the Bank’s total portfolio of net loans and advances to customers were classified as
zero risk, as collateralised by deposits (see Notes 26 and 27).

The Latvian banking legislation requires that any credit exposure to a non-related entity may not exceed 25% of
equity as defined by the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC) (see Note 33) and the total credit
exposure to all related parties, except for consolidated subsidiaries, may not exceed 15% of equity as defined by the
FCMC. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank was in compliance with the above requirements.

Currently, the Bank’s information system does not provide an analysis of outstanding loans and advances to
customers by their remaining maturities considering the scheduled repayments during the period of loans. Due to
extensive effort required in preparation of such an analysis, the Management did not deem presentation of such
analysis in these financial statements practical. Accordingly, the above table has been prepared under the
assumption that all principal falls due at the final maturity date.

NOTE 33. CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Capital adequacy refers to the sufficiency of the Group’s capital resources to cover the credit risks and market risks
arising from the portfolio of assets and the off-balance sheet exposures.

The Financial and Capital Markets Commission’s , the bank regulator, regulations require Latvian banks to maintain
a capital adequacy ratio based on financial statements prepared under Latvian accounting standards of 8% of risk
weighted assets.

Since the Bank has subsidiaries, which are financial institutions, it should comply with the regulatory requirements
based on both the Group’s financial statements and the Bank’s financial statements as a stand-alone entity. As at
31 December 2005, the Group’s capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the FCMC’s requirements was 11.1%
(2004: 11.9%). At the same time, the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio without taking into account the Bank’s
investments in subsidiaries and calculated in accordance with the FCMC’s requirements was 11.7% (2004: 12.5%).

As at 31 December 2005, the Group’s capital adequacy ratio based on Basle Committee guidelines was 11.7%
(2004: 12.2%), whereas the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio without taking into account the Bank’s investments in
subsidiaries was 12.2% (2004: 12.8%). The minimum capital adequacy recommended by the 1988 Basle Committee
guidelines is 8%.

Based on the guidelines set forth by the Financial and Capital Markets Commission, the capital adequacy has been
calculated as follows (comparative data for 2004 are stated at amounts before restatements (see Note 2)):

Currently, the Group’s and Bank’s information system does not provide an analysis of outstanding loans and
advances to customers by their remaining maturities considering the scheduled repayments during the period of
loans. Due to extensive effort required in preparation of such an analysis, presentation of such analysis in these
financial statements was not deemed practical by the Management. Accordingly, the above table has been prepared
under the assumption that all principal falls due at the final maturity date.

NOTE 35. REPRICING MATURITY OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of the financial position of the Bank and its subsidiaries to the change in market
interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Bank and its subsidiaries encounter interest rate risk as a result
of differences within maturities or interest re-fixing dates of respective interest sensitive assets and liabilities. The
interest rate risk is managed through the activities of the Bank’s Treasury department. The table below allocates the
Group’s assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2005 and 2004 to maturity groupings based on the time remaining
from the balance sheet date to the closest interest re-fixing date.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005

The Latvian banking legislation requires that open positions in each foreign currency may not exceed 10% of the
Bank’s equity (see Note 33 for the definition of equity under the FCMC’s regulations) and that the total foreign
currency open position may not exceed 20% of equity.

The Group and the Bank was in compliance with the above requirements as at 31 December 2005 and 2004.

NOTE 37. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has been involved in a number of legal proceedings to recover
collateral or outstanding credit balances, as well as related interest and expenses from defaulted credit customers
and interbank counterparties. The Group is also involved in the number of legal proceedings related to its
customers in Latvia and abroad.

The Management of the Bank believe that any legal proceedings pending as at 31 December 2005 will not result in
material losses for the Group.

NOTE 38. RELATED PARTIES

Related parties are defined as shareholders who have significant influence over the Group, members of the Council
and Board of Directors, key Management personnel, their close relatives and companies in which they have a
controlling interest as well as associated companies of the Group. The following tables present the outstanding
