MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

It has been a full year that the Thai economy has been weathering through the global financial crisis. Throughout the period, economic forecasts were highly subjected to uncertainties that largely depended on global economic situations. In the first quarter of 2009, the Thai economy contracted to the trough of the economic cycle at a rate of 7.1 percent. Nonetheless, short and long-term stimulus measures were put in place to cushion the downfall which has led the Thai economy to a satisfactory improvement in the second and third quarter. During the first nine months of 2009, the economy’s rate of contraction averaged only 5 percent before reverting to a positive growth of 5.8 percent in the last quarter, the first expansion after the crisis took place. As a result, the Thai economy in 2009 underperformed the previous year’s output only by 2.3 percent. Regardless of the climate of economic crisis and uncertainties, Scotiabank has continued to believe in TBANK and has increased its shareholdings from 24.98 percent to 48.99 percent in the beginning of 2009. Consequently and accordingly to the Shareholder’s Agreement, Scotiabank sent more directors and executives who have become more than ever engaged in management and business operations. The successful cooperation among the management team of TBANK and its subsidiaries, including the management team of Scotiabank, and employees at all levels resulted in

At present, TBANK has won the bid and has already signed the Share Purchase Agreement with the Financial Institutions Development Fund. Upon the shareholders’ approval for the merger with Siam City Bank at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders this year, the entire business transfer would be complete and TBANK would become the fifth largest bank among the Thai commercial bank industry with greater stability and competitive advantage. As Chairman of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all Directors, executives and employees for their continuous dedication. I would also like to thank all stakeholders for your trust and support for TBANK to develop and grow together with stability and sustainability.

In 2009, TBANK and its subsidiaries’ satisfactory results was a net profit of THB 4,056 million, an increase of THB 2,186 million or 116.95 percent growth from the previous year. Loan spread hiked from 3.72 percent to 4.69 percent while non-interest income rose by 73.36 percent. In 2009, there was a change in the composition of the Board of Directors. Two new Directors were appointed, naming, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Somjai Phagaphasvivathana and Mr. Kobsak Duangdee to replace Mr. Suvit Arunanondchai and Mr. Vichit Yarnamorn who resigned due to other commitments. Two additional Directors were also appointed, Mr. Somjate Moosirilert, a representative of TCAP, and Mr. Martin Weeks, a representative from Scotiabank. As a result, the Board of Directors now consists of four representatives from each of TBANK’s two major shareholders–TCAP and Scotiabank–and four Independent Directors, thus constituting 12 Directors all together. All Directors are knowledgeable and skilled, with experience in finance and management along with other disciplines, enabling both management and operation of TBANK to fulfill its duties and responsibilities to shareholders, customers and other stakeholders.

MESSAGE FROM OUR STRATEGIC PARTNER...SCOTIABANK

Despite difficult global economic conditions, Thanachart Bank had an excellent year in 2009, generating record results. The Bank’s fundamental strengths of prudent risk and cost management and strong liquidity and capital positions positioned the Bank well in these challenging times. The management team and with ongoing assistance from Scotiabank, continued to focus on our core projects and we have seen strong progress on many fronts in 2009. Thanachart Bank remains the leader in the auto hire purchase market helping approximately 200,000 customers purchase their vehicle in 2009.

THAI ECONOMIC CONDITION IN 2009 AND THE OUTLOOK FOR 2010*

The Thai economy has undergone a full year of the global economic crisis. As a result, the outlook for the economy during the past year was subject to large uncertainties that primarily depended on the world economic situation. Around the end of 2008, the first set of forecast released under the crisis estimated that the Thai economy would have a zero-growth or contract by 1.0 percent per annum in 2009, under the views from various economic institutions that the world economy would expand at a range from (-0.5) to 0.5 percent per annum. At the beginning of 2009 when the global financial crisis revealed its worse-than-expected symptoms, the world economic outlook was repeatedly revised down. The contraction of 7.1 percent year on year of the Thai economy in the first quarter led to the expectation that the annual economic contraction would range from 3 to 4 percent. In addition, the unemployment rallied from approximately 500,000 workers from the end 2008 to approximately 900,000 workers in January 2009. As a result of the severe economic conditions, authorities has urgently issued the economic stimulus measures to cushion for a deep plunge in private income and consumption which could lead to an overly adverse impact on production, investment and unemployment. The short-term measures, therefore, were the emergency packages to directly inject cash to the people’s hand in the fastest fashion as well as to help reduce the burdens on their cost of living, especially those with low income, the elderly and the parents. This included the economic sectors that have been severely impacted, for instance, tourism industries and the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Most of the measures in the stimulus packages were planned to be implemented in the second and third quarter under the additional budget of approximately THB 116 billion in the fiscal year 2009. Furthermore, there were tax measures to help alleviate the impact of the crisis on the private business such as those in the real estate sectors as well as the individuals. These measures were also accompanied by the eased monetary policy with the policy interest rate brought down from 2.50 to 1.25 percent per annum. Moreover, there were measures related to the Special Financial Institutions (SFI) under the supervision of the government to capitalize as well as to speed up their credit expansion to the public as well. After the onset of the short-term measures, the government viewed that the global financial crisis was still highly uncertain and its impact to the world economy could be prolonged. The government therefore deemed that there was as well a need for the long-term measures. The prepared packages focused on the public investment towards 2012 to stimulate the economic growth, investment opportunity to the private sector as well as investment projects to enhance the country’s competitiveness in the periods ahead. The framework of these investment projects could be categorized into seven sectors include irrigation development and agriculture, basic infrastructure especially logistics, tourism, creative economy, education, health care and the small investment projects in different areas. These measures were the plans in preparation under the circumstances that the financial crisis would extend. The budget allocation under these measures was approximately THB 1.4 trillion to stabilize the economic growth and shore up investors’ confidence towards the Thai economic outlook.

Sources of funds for such investment would come from the revenue of government and state enterprises, loans and joint venture between public and private sectors. Nonetheless, the declining government revenue due to the economic slowdown could require more government loan to cover the discrepancy and the figure could exceed the borrowing ability of the government allowed in the Budget Management Law and Public Lending Practice. The government therefore had to seek approval from the Parliament to issue the Emergency Decree and Act empowering the Ministry of Finance to borrow for economic restructuring in the amount of THB 800 billion. This funding plan was consistent with the country’s fiscal sustainability with the ratio of the public debt to GDP peaking at 56 percent in 2012 and would gradually subsume. The Thai economy has improved and contracted by a slower rate in the second and third quarter of 2009. During the first 9 months, the slowdown was reported at 5.0 percent with manufacturing sector contracted by 9.8 percent; transportation, communication, hotel and restaurant slowed down at 5.2 percent from the previous year but financial sector was able to grow by 4.0 percent. On the expenditure side, the private investment contracted 15.4 percent while quantity of exports of goods and services was also down by 17.8 percent. Furthermore, indicators during the latter half of the year revealed the continued recovery of the Thai economy including: • The capacity utilization rate in manufacturing sector plunged to the bottom at 54.8 percent in February and rebounded to 70.1 percent in December, especially in the export-oriented industries as the global market revealed signs of gradual recovery. • Unemployment rate that reached its peak at 2.4 percent in January, amounting to 878,900 unemployed workers, gradually declined to a 1.1 percent in October or down to 410,500 unemployed workers. • Tourism sector rebounded somewhat in January when the number of tourists expanded by 45.2 percent and the occupancy rate climbed up to 57 percent from its trough at 40.8 percent in June.

• Exports also rebounded in various sectors since the second quarter, leading to the growth of 17.3 percent in December from the highest contraction of 26.5 percent in May. In 2010, the further implementation of the AFTA was also expected to give rise to the Thai exports to the regional market such as exports of trucks and commercial car to Malaysia and Indonesia. • The agricultural prices started to rebound with the world economic recovery as well as the shortage of rice in the major exporting countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines due to bad weather conditions. More importantly, the price of rubber that is a major raw material in the tire industry rebounded from the lowest level of THB 43 per kilogram to the highest at THB 81 per kilogram in December. This sharp increase could suggest that the world auto industry was heading toward the recovering trend.

As are result, the Thai economy expanded 5.8 percent in the fourth quarter, the first expansion since the crisis. Overall, this brought about the moderate annual rate of contraction for 2009 of 2.3 percent and headline inflation of -0.9 percent. During the entire year, deposits of the commercial banks expanded at 0.7 percent which was a slowdown from the growth rate of 8.5 percent in the previous year. In the first half, deposits including bills of exchange accelerated due to the inflows of funds from investment in other risky assets as concerns over the economy grew. However, in the latter half of the year, such worries subsumed, resulting in the reallocation of investments back towards the higher risk assets. On the lending side, private lending grew at only 3.0 percent which was a major decline from 9.3 percent growth in 2008. The expansion was contributed solely by loans to households while corporate lending contracted. Nonetheless, in the last quarter when the signs of economic recovery became more apparent, total credits in the depository institutions rebounded and expanded at 6.8 percent from 4.7 percent in the third quarter.

As the economic expansion improves in 2010, the credit extended to private sector is also expected to expand. At the same time, with the need for government financing for the investment projects in the second stimulus package (SP2), excess liquidity in the financial system is expected to decline. Together with the mounting inflationary pressure, the policy rate is likely to be raised in the near future. Nevertheless, the rise in inflation rate is estimated to exceed the percentage hike in policy rates, leaving the real interest rate at a relatively low level which will still be at supporting level for the recovery in the private investment going forward. In 2010, the global economy was expected to expand, though at a slow pace. The Thai economy therefore was forecasted to also pick up moderately at 3.5-4.5 percent. This economic recovery was expected to be driven by public investment and the global recovery which led to an increase in private consumption and investment. Nonetheless, challenges and limitations facing the Thai economy can be listed as follows; • The world recovery remained vulnerable as the pace will be unbalanced and depend on the stronger recovery in Asia. However, the risk remained as China started to become more cautious in their stimulus measures as well as its commercial bank’s lending. At the same time, unemployment problem in the US seemed to persist and could lead the economy towards the “Human Recession” period. Moreover, the tension on the effort for a collaboration between the US and China could rise as the US would be pressured from domestic businesses towards a more protectionism policy and called for China to lower its saving and raise consumption to rebalance the global growth.

The higher rate of growth in credits relative to deposits resulted in a slight decline in excess liquidity in commercial banking system from THB 1.35 trillion in the third quarter to THB 1.32 trillion in the fourth quarter. Interest rate on the 12-month deposit was at 0.70 percent and the MLR staged at 5.86 percent during the last quarter of the year. Due to the close monitoring of commercial banks on credit quality during the crisis, the non-performing loans slightly increased and trended towards the decline in the last quarter with its ratio to the outstanding loans of 2.66 percent. The operating performance of commercial banks in 2009 remained sound as the net profit was reported at THB 82.9 billion which was a slight increase from the previous year. Despite the decline in net interest income, commercial banks were able to raise their income through the non-interest income such as fee based and service income. The stock market condition in 2009 improved from the past year. The stock index at the end of the fourth quarter stood at 734.5 points, reflecting investors’ expectation on the economic recovery ahead of the actual conditions and the attractiveness of the Asian assets over other regions. On the other hand, private financing through the corporate bond market was recorded around THB 1 trillion, a decline from THB 1.3 trillion in 2008, most of which was the financing through debentures which were concentrated in finance and manufacturing sectors. This significant amount of financing implied that some of the businesses were still in demand of funding and could utilize the low-interest to help contain their cost of funds, particularly when other channels where not as accommodative. Nevertheless, yields on bonds adjusted upward for all tenors especially in the medium-term and long-term maturity due to the expectation of policy rate hike in the near future as well as the constant issuance of the Bank of Thailand and government bonds in the primary market.

The Asian currency would experience the appreciation against the USD as well as the Renminbi due to its strong tie to the USD. The Baht therefore was expected to continue its appreciation after it has appreciated from THB 35.36 per USD in the first quarter to THB 33.31 per USD in the last quarter of 2009. The oil price was expected to reach USD 75-85 per barrel which would raise the inflationary pressure and pass on to the cost of production as well as the cost of living in the country. Inflation in 2010 was expected to increase to 2.5-3.5 percent whereas the policy interest rate is likely to be raised in the latter half of the year. The political uncertainty and issues surrounding the investment climate of Thailand such as the resolution of the legal issue on projects in the Map Ta Phut Industrial area may cause a slowdown in the recovery of the private investment going forward.

Although the short-term crisis has not completely passed, long-term challenges seemed to lie ahead. The strategic preparation for both public and private sector would be essential as the economy started its return to normalization. Only at this time, the economic changes taking place both before and as a result of the crisis has produced the “New Normal” to replace the old norms we were returning to. These new conditions surrounding our economy were, for example, the global warming, food and energy crisis, conflicts of resource allocation, changes in financial regulations, different global growth polar and the aging society. As a result, 2010 was the year for us to be cautious on short-term economic challenges despite the fact that the recovery was underway. Concurrently, the long-term institutional strategies would need a close review in order to prepare for the adjustment towards the new environment which will justify our survival as well as success in the world after the crisis.

Net income of TBANK and its subsidiaries in 2009 amounted to THB 4,056 million, an increase of THB 2,186 million or 116.95 percent from the previous year. This was due to the continued expansion of businesses of Thanachart Group, an increase in loan spread from 3.72 percent to 4.69 percent, a rise in non-interest income to 73.36 percent which was due to the continuous growth of commercial bank business, securities business, fund management business, as well as life and non-life insurance business, as well as the efficient management in the Bank’s expenditure. As a result, cost to income ratio net insurance premium income declined to 56.51 percent from 59.88 percent in the previous year. At the same time, expenses on bad debt and doubtful accounts also decreased by 21.69 percent. The details on key changes were as follows: INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME In 2009, interest and dividend income of TBANK and its subsidiaries amounted to THB 21,470 million, an increase of THB 782 million or 3.78 percent from the previous year. This was mainly contributed by the increase in interest income from hire purchase loans and financial lease and interest and dividend income from investments. INTEREST EXPENSES Interest expenses were reported at THB 6,736 million, a decrease of THB 2,662 million or 28.32 percent from the previous year due to the continued decline of market interest rate and effective management in cost of fund.

BAD DEBT AND DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS In 2009, expenses on bad debt and doubtful accounts of TBANK and its subsidiaries amounted to THB 3,107 million, a decrease of THB 861 million or 21.69 percent from the previous year, due to an effective management and improvement in debt collection and credit risk management. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income of TBANK and its subsidiaries amounted to THB 18,403 million, an increase of THB 7,788 million or 73.36 percent. This was mainly due to the continuous growth of commercial bank business, securities business, fund management business, and especially the life and non-life insurance business whose the insurance premium income increased by 97.02 percent. NON-INTEREST EXPENSES Non-interest expenses of TBANK and its subsidiaries were reported at THB 24,177 million, an increase of THB 8,727 million or 56.48 percent from the previous year. The increase was mainly attributed by the insurance and life insurance expenses that increased by 115.50 percent as a result of the increase in number transactions during the year. The personnel expenses as well as expenses on premises and equipments also increased by 21.36 and 15.65 percent respectively, most of which was due to an increase in the number of the Bank’s branches to 256 at the end of 2009 from 213 at the end of the previous year as well as the investment in the IT system and infrastructure.

The rise was contributed by efficient management on nonperforming assets due to the adjustment in strategies and policies in debt collection. In addition, the more cautious lending policy also resulted in a decrease in expenses regarding bad debt and doubtful accounts of THB 718 million. Furthermore, the interest rate spread was up from 3.72 percent in the previous period to 4.69 percent. During the year, moreover, the Bank could also continuously raise non-interest income which expanded by 27.81 percent in accordance with the efficient management of the Bank’s expenditure. The result was a decline of cost to income ratio from 60.81 percent in the previous year to 53.81 percent with key changes listed as follows: 1. Regarding loan expansion, TBANK could continuously expand its lending both in hire purchase and corporate lending. Especially in the hire purchase section which was the main business of the Bank, the outstanding figure increased from THB 198,344 million to THB 206,320 million or a 4.02 percent increase from the end of 2008. Moreover, corporate loans increased from THB 35,113 million to THB 50,910 million, representing an increase of

44.99 percent. The increase in corporate loans was in line with loan diversification policy of the Bank. 2. The expansion of deposit base under the declining market interest rate environment, effective management on deposit structure, the issuance of new products as alternatives for customers to gain higher market share were the major factors lowering TBANK’s cost of funds to 2.01 percent compared to 3.21 percent of last year. 3. TBANK rapidly generated non-interest income and adjusted the management of operating expenses in 2009, by launching new products, and improving infrastructures and other systems to support the business expansion. As a result, the Bank was able to achieve noninterest income ratio of 16.60 percent and cost to income ratio of 53.81 percent compared to the average value of the peers at 56.38 percent. INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME In 2009, TBANK’s interest and dividend income stood at THB 20,934 million, an increase of 1,037 million or 5.21 percent compared to the past year. Most of the increase could be explained by an increase in interest income for hire purchase followed by the expansion of loans as well as interest and dividend income from investments. 29

Such result was due to the adjustment in work process that allows higher efficiency in debt

management and collection regardless of the economic downturn. NON-INTEREST INCOME In 2009, TBANK’s non interest income amounted to THB 2,815 million, an increase of THB 613 million or 27.81 percent relative to the past year. The major portion of the increase was an increase in fees and service income and a decline in losses incurred from investments due to economic conditions. Moreover, the Bank’s income also rose from the sale of property foreclosed and other assets as well as an increase of other income. (Unit: Million Baht)

ASSETS Total assets of TBANK as of 31 December 2009 amounted to THB 413,878 million, an increase from end2008 of THB 45,663 million or 12.40 percent, which stemmed from an increase of net investments of THB 38,057 million and an increase in net loans and accrued interest receivable of THB 8,265 million. TBANK’s investments registered at THB 64,643 million, a rise of THB 38,057 million or 143.14 percent from surge in deposits and short-term borrowings which implies higher liquidity for TBANK. With such liquidity in hand, the increased investments provided the Bank with higher rate of returns from both short-term and long-term investments. Net loans and accrued interest receivables of TBANK amounted to THB 275,108 million, an increase of THB 8,265 million or 3.10 percent from last year. The increase was mostly due to an expansion of THB 15,797 million in corporate lending and THB 7,976 million of automobile hire purchase while the intercompany loans

within Thanachart Group declined by THB 9,730 million from the usual loan repayments. ASSET QUALITY 1. Loans, receivables and accrued interest receivables As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s net loans and accrued interest receivables amounted to THB 275,108 million, an increase of THB 8,265 million or 3.10 percent from the end of last year. During 2009, the Bank entered into various debt restructuring agreements in the form of reconditioning of the debt repayment, transferring assets and/or equity and/or reconditioning the terms and conditions of repayment. The total debt restructuring agreements were made with 10,810 debtors, an increase of 214 debtors. This was due to the debt management process of the Bank, which led to the ability of some debtors to restructure their debts by having their debt burden in line with the ability to repay debts, and also due to the improvement program of the Bank to improve the debt quality.

This therefore enabled the Bank to recognize in advance the signal of any adverse impacts that would occur to the sources and uses of funds.

INFLUENTIAL FACTORS OR CONSTRAINTS ON BUSINESS OPERATION

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND COMPETITION At the end of 2009, there were a total of 32 commercial banks in the industry, of which 17 banks were listed and 15 banks were foreign bank’s branch. Considering the deposits amount of the commercial banking industry, the total amount was THB 7,121,319 million, of which THB 6,654,901 million or 93.45 percent of total deposits came from listed commercial banks and THB 466,418 million or 6.55 percent of total deposits came from foreign bank’s branch. At the end of 2009, deposits in Thai commercial banking industry grew 0.08 percent from the same period last year. The slower rate was a result of the downward trend of interest rate which caused the investors to transfer their investments to other types of instruments. Considering the net loans of the commercial banking industry, the total amount was THB 7,807,233 million, of which THB 6,964,834 million or 89.21 percent of total loans came from listed commercial banks and THB 842,395 million or 10.79 percent came from foreign bank’s branch, similar to that of the previous year. Apart the competition in the commercial banking system, there is also competition in the financial system such as non-banks, financial market, capital market, as well as the state’s specialized financial institutions, which play a more active role in the economic system, as a result of the changes in the regulators’ rules and regulations. The changes allow for more flexibility and prepare the industry for the financial liberalization in the future. The keener competition has caused the commercial banks to adopt non-price strategies, such as developing a more diverse range of financial products, increasing more distribution channels, improving quality of service, and establishing business alliances in the finance business. The objective is to provide the customers with greater convenience and to cater to all the financial needs of the customers. Moreover, the commercial banks place strong emphasis on building a positive corporate image for their organization, e.g. by organizing public relations activities and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The non-price strategies are in addition to the price strategy which remains the principal strategy pursued by the commercial banks.

In 2009, credit lending to private sector of the financial institution expanded at a slower rate, mainly due to a low demand both domestic and foreign which resulted in less demand in loans. Moreover, commercial banks became more strict in credit lending policy in order to prevent bad debts. Hire purchase loan was affected from the economic condition. The sale volume for both car and motorcycle in 2009 have decreased, resulting in a decrease in new business loan for hire purchase. Apart from the economic and political factors, changes initiated by the authorities concerned in some areas represented business constraints in the short-term but helped strengthen the financial system and standardize the Thai commercial banking system in the long-term. After the Financial Institution Business Act B.E. 2551 became effective, BOT implemented Basel II Pillar 2 in the commercial banking industry, which affected the calculation of the capital adequacy and risk assessment and consolidated supervision regulation. Consequently, commercial banks shall adhere to the capital adequacy, related business, credit lending, investment, obligation, risk management of the financial business group, and etc. Moreover, the good corporate governance emphasized on the directors and executives to supervise all activities of the financial institutions, and thus, allowed business operation to be transparent an without a conflict of interest. The key positive contributing factors in the commercial banking business during 2009 included permission request, framework expansion, service expansion of the commercial banks, such as: • permission for commercial banks to operate private repo business for lending, borrowing of foreign currency by using foreign currency debt securities as collateral with eight types of institutional investors by the currency exchange control staff. • permission for commercial bank to borrow and lend foreign securities with eight types of institutional investors permitted by the currency exchange control staff • expanding service scope for commercial banks being able to provide supportive services and other insourcing services.

Loan growth in 2010 will be supported by the first economic stimulus policy from the government in the amount of THB 280,000 million to stimulate income distribution, job creation in upcountry and to increase purchasing power. The second economic stimulus policy was in the amount of THB 1.43 trillion to stimulate regional economy. Also, there were previous economic stimulus measures through special financial institutions in order to support small and medium enterprise loans and consumer lending. The risk factors in 2010 remain to be the unstable political circumstance, which could affect the confidence of invests. Another issue is Map Ta Phut conflict which has not yet arrived to any conclusive resolution. This could affect in the corporate loan slowdown in 2010. As for regulatory risk, the effect will not be apparent in 2010. The effect on commercial banking business is expected to present itself in 2011 and 2012 which means that commercial banking sector still has couple of years to make adjustment.

The most recent Monetary Policy Committee “MPC” meeting on 13 January 2010 has maintained a 1.25 percent policy rate, the same rate since April 2009. At the end of 4th quarter 2009, interest rate on 1-year fixed deposit of the commercial banks was in the range of 0.65-1.60 percent while loan rate of the listed commercial banks was in the range of 6.44-7.13 percent. Consequently, interest spread of the commercial banks was in the range of 5.53-5.79 percent. THE BANK’S SIZE COMPARED TO COMPETITORS At the end of 2009, TBANK had THB 432,970 million in total assets, accounted for 5.02 percent market share. The Bank was ranked number 7 in the commercial bank industry. TBANK captured 5.09 percent market share for deposits and short-term borrowings, equivalent to THB 341,496 million, and was ranked number 7 among the commercial bank industry. The Bank’s total loans were THB 283,571 million, accounted for 4.75 percent market share, and was ranked number 7 among the commercial bank industry. FUTURE TREND OF COMPETITION Many economic indicators, whether domestic or foreign, have shown sign of improvement. The Thai economy in 2010 was expected to experience continuous expansion, as a result of revived global economy, government stimulus measures and improved business confidence. Inflation in 2010 was expected to increase at high accelerated rate until the end of the year. This was a result of oil price that had experienced a sharp decrease in the previous year. The accelerated increase should happen only in the 1st quarter and the inflation should maintain at around 2-4 percent after that. The increased inflation does not fully reflect the price adjustment of products and services. It was mainly a result of oil price adjustment. The trend of the banking industry in Thailand in 2010 is that electronic banking will continue to develop, which will result in the fee base income generating, as well as, other services for customer group, such as internet banking, cash management, mobile banking and etc. Moreover, strategic alliances with other businesses will enhance capability in order to better satisfy the various needs of customers. This includes cross-selling among the financial business group, e.g. Bancassurance of life and non-life insurance businesses, and etc.

PRODUCTS OF INSURANCE BUSINESS

Insurance business of Thanachart Group can be divided into two key areas of business, namely non-life insurance business operated by Thanachart Insurance Company Limited “TNI”, which offers all types of non-life insurance services, and life insurance business operated by Thanachart Life Assurance Company Limited “TLIFE”, which offers life insurance services to institutional, corporate and individual customers. NON-LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TNI offers all types of insurance services, e.g. fire, automobile, marine, miscellaneous and investment. COMPETITION AND MARKET OUTLOOK In 2009, non-life insurance business in Thailand experienced a growth in premium income once compared to 2008. Each company tried to adapt constantly in order to gain competitive advantage, for example, pricing strategy, new product design that offers low price but still satisfies the customer’s needs, more claim coverage, promotional campaigns through various medias-television, radio, newspaper, advertisement poster board, branding image in order to create customer’s awareness. Moreover, many companies put more focus on the 52

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 THANACHART BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED


LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TLIFE offers life and health insurance, which can be divided into two key categories, e.g. individual and group insurance. COMPETITION AND MARKET OUTLOOK TLIFE operates its business with a multidistribution channel strategy, in order to satisfy various needs of the customers by offering products and services coherent and suitable for each customer group. Currently, the company has utilized various channels, such as, corporate network, corporative network, insurance agent, bancassurance and insurance broker. In 2009, life insurance business expanded substantially, especially through bancassurance channel. This was a result of economic downturn which affected many bank’s credit lending business to contract. Each bank had to rely on the premium income of life insurance policy. Overview of the business sector in 2009 showed a growth of 16-18 percent while in 2010 the growth rate is expected to be within the range of 15-20 percent. Market penetration through commercial bank in 2009 was successful and thus resulted in a prediction that various banks that have alliance with life insurance companies will put more importance on product development, sale promotion and staff training for them to gain more knowledge and skills. At the same time, the agent channel will continue to self-cultivate in order to be able to provide consultancy and structure a financial plan for a customer. In the 11-month period 2009, TLIFE captured a total market share of 4.71 percent and was ranked number 8 in the industry. Market share of first year premium received was 13.27 percent and was ranked number 2 in the industry. The industry is expected to grow by 15-20 percent in 2010. This was under the assumptions that the global economy will revive and will positively affect all Thai business sectors, which would then enhance life insurance business from the increase in purchasing power and consumer’s confidence. Furthermore, the Bank interest rates are still low while the return on the life

post-sale service improvement, channel expansion, utilizing new technology in order to improve and streamline working procedures. At the same time, many companies emphasized on business alliance to expand sale channels, i.e. commercial bank’s branches, grocery store’s counters, department stores or telemarketing, in order to enhance competitive capability and to better the accessibility to retail customers. TNI focuses on a standard of good service quality, productivity, efficiency, and honesty, as well as development of products in order to offer new policy which is more coherent with the economic, social condition and the needs of customers, by taking into consideration a fair premium rate to customer. Furthermore, the company constantly adjusted its progressive competitive strategy to be coherent with the ever-changing conditions, by ways of increase sale channel, expand to new customer base, maintain existing customer base. As much as 95 percent of all customers is the customer group with policy claim limit not exceeding THB 5 million. The customers mostly selected automobile and fire insurance and these customers mainly came from the Bank’s lending customers base and from the company’s marketing campaigns. The customer group with policy claim limit of THB 5 million and more comprised of institutional customers, private enterprises that possesses branch network, whether commerce or industrial. Major portion of this customer groups selected miscellaneous and fire insurance. As aforementioned, it can be concluded that TNI has never relied on any customer that accounted for more than 30 percent of TNI’s total revenue. Moreover, the service is only offered to domestic customers in Thailand. According to Thai Reinsurance Public Company Limited, the insurance industry will experience a slight expansion of 5.6 percent in premium received or a total of THB 115,040.11 million in the year 2010. Under the assumption is that the Thai economy will expand by 0.25-1.00 percent due to various measures and policy which each government attempts to implement to counteract the crisis, as well as, the violent conflict that has a tendency to be resolved.

insurance business maintains to be higher. The cooperation between banks and life insurance companies will focus on sale expansion in bancassurance channel and new business channel in order to acquire better access to the customers, as well as, product development which will satisfy the customer’s needs and is suitable for each sale channel. In addition, the government may adjust its regulation and allow larger limit on tax write-off from health insurance policy, individual insurance policy, pension policy and etc. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MANAGEMENT SOURCE OF FUND One source of TBANK’s fund is the capital, comprises of issued and paid-up capital which was in the amount of THB 19,346 million in 2009, including legal reserve and retained earnings.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK FACTORS

guidelines. The process would allow TBANK to effectively manage its capital as well as control and manage risks in the periods ahead. To support such framework, TBANK strategically establish a structure of the organization to support the operation under the direction and supervision of the following committees.

Thailand’s economy contracted in 2009, following the severe downturn in global economy especially in the first quarter of the year. The underlying causes of the downturn stemmed from the credit tightening and shortage of liquidity in global financial institutions including the lack of business and consumers’ confidence worldwide. The crisis led to a sharp decline in most major export items to all major markets. Together with the domestic political issues, the contraction of the Thai economy was more severe than expected. Nevertheless, the Thai exports started to revive since the second quarter as the world economy started to show signs of recovery. In accordance with the timely government’s measures during the crisis, the Thai economy revealed the continued signs of recovery with the improvement of consumption spending and increasing number of inbound tourists. In 2010, the Thai economic recovery is expected to continue with the global economy, leading to the upturns in manufacturing sector and tourism going forward. Thanachart Bank Public Company Limited “TBANK” and Thanachart Financial Conglomerate realized the importance of such risk factors and the Board of Directors and executives of TBANK have therefore closely monitored the business operation as well as made an effort to develop the risk management system continually to cushion for any possible risks. Nonetheless, as the credit lending has been TBANK’s major business and source of earnings, TBANK also continued to give priority to developments of credit lending measures and the credit risk measurement tools, e.g. behavior scoring which would help TBANK to manage risk properly and coherently with the risk profile. Furthermore, to reaffirm the strength and stability of the financial position of TBANK, the Bank is currently in the stage of developing the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) under Pillar 2 of Basel II framework in accordance with the Bank of Thailand (BOT)

Under its credit risk management policies and guidelines, TBANK have successfully established a credit culture. To start with, the credit risk of the borrowers, counterparties, or issuers of debt instruments will be independently assessed by the model developed specifically to each type of borrowers or counterparties by the Credit Analysis Unit. At this juncture, authorized Credit Committee would then consider and determine the level of credit risk of borrowers or counterparties, appropriate credit lines and investment budget, as well as Terms and Conditions on loans or other obligations. The Committee also controls the overall risk status by appropriately diversifying credit risk into various business sectors and groups of customers within the established risk ceilings. In addition, the Committee closely monitors the quality of loans to ensure proper and vigilant management by emphasizing on business capability and repayment ability under the supervision of an independent risk control unit. Apart from the aforementioned units, there is also an Internal Audit Group to verify that the credit transactions are in compliance with the BOT’s guidelines. To ensure optimal returns under acceptable risk, TBANK has employed measuring tool called RAROC (Risk Adjusted Return on Capital) to reflect the appropriate level of capital. Moreover, the Bank also performed stress tests to estimate any damage that may occur during the crisis. Under this condition, the borrower’s ability to repay could erode or they could fail to make a repayment under Terms and Conditions stated in the hypothesized contract. The risk factors in the tests were assumed to affect the industry that the debtors’ business belonged to. IMPORTANT CREDIT RISK FACTORS 1.1 CREDIT CONCENTRATION RISK TBANK aims to appropriately diversify its loans to various groups of customers, focusing on high potential customers, and attempt to prevent concentration of loans to a particular group of customers. Under such goal, the Bank pursues proper risk management on overall credit portfolios with close monitoring and comprehensive assessment to report to the assigned committees on a regular basis. The purpose is to mitigate exogenous risks that may adversely affect any particular group of business excessively financed by the Bank.

• The conduct of business affairs is under a system of check and balance with the Middle Office, comprising of the Risk Control Department and the Back Office, being separated from the Front Office. • TBANK would put in writing all the established policies and guidelines regarding the risk management that specifies responsibilities of related units as the operational guidelines for the employees. Moreover, the Bank has established a four-step guideline for risk management comprising of: 1) identification of the characteristics of risk as well as risk factors, 2) development of appropriate tools and models for risk measurement, 3) the control of risks within acceptable limits, and 4) the close monitoring of risk status in order to properly manage any possible risks in a timely manner. • The difference in size and risk ratios determined for each exposure allowed TBANK to be able to perceive the degree of severity from the possible risks. These risk variables could also be used as a ceiling or the acceptable risk level as well as to provide warning signals before severe losses occur. The aforementioned risk management systems are developed based on prudent principles and will be reviewed regularly to suit prevailing situations. The systems are designed to be transparent, explicit, examinable, and to take into consideration the interests of shareholders, customers and staff of the Bank.

KEY RISK CATEGORIES OF TBANK

1. CREDIT RISK Credit risk arises from a situation in which the debtors or counterparties fail to repay or fulfill their agreed obligations. This might be contributed by the fact that the debtor’s financial position is under distress due to volatilities of economic conditions that pose adverse impact on businesses, or the debtors’ mismanagement, which as a result, may adversely affect TBANK and the subsidiaries’ earnings and capital. The credit risk may arise from ordinary financial transactions such as credit lending, financial obligations in the form of avals or guarantees, other transactions related to credit lending, as well as investment in market instruments issued by state agencies or state enterprises with neither guarantee from government nor the BOT, and private debt instruments such as debentures. 57

Nonetheless, most of these hire purchase loans were provided to retail customers whose credit line was relatively small, and with a large number of customers, such risk therefore was well diversified.

1.2 RISKS FROM NON-PERFORMING LOANS The non-performing loans are loans classified as substandard, doubtful and doubtful of loss. They have been the major concerns across financial institutions due to their adverse effect on earnings and capital of TBANK and subsidiaries. At this juncture, TBANK has focused major efforts on controlling credit quality through appropriate policies and procedures to regularly monitor the quality of the loans.

The net restructured debt (less collateral) amounted to THB 1,964 million. 59

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 THANACHART BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED


2. MARKET RISK The market risk arises from movements in interest rates, exchange rates, capital fund, and prices of instruments in money market or capital market, which may adversely affect earnings of TBANK. The market risk can be segmented into three categories including price risk, interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. At this juncture, TBANK’s policies are to control and manage these risks to remain at an appropriate level and in line with its policy on risk management. 2.1 PRICE RISK Price risk arises when the Bank’s earnings or capital are adversely affected by changes in the price of debt and equity instruments, causing the value of TBANK’s trading and available-for-sales investment portfolio to decline. TBANK has developed risk measurement tools based on the Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to estimate the maximum loss amount at a certain confidence level and over a given asset holding period. The estimated VaR has therefore been used as a guideline to determine the overall risk appetites of the Bank. The control and monitoring of this type of risk is delegated to the Investment Committee. In order to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of its tools for risk measurement, the Bank requires that the tools are subject to back-testing in accordance with the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) standards. Moreover, the Bank has conducted stress testing by formulating stress scenarios which can create extraordinary reduction in stock prices. The result of the test could therefore shed light on the impact on the Bank’s earnings and required capital should such event occurs. As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s investment in trading and available-for-sale securities classified by type of investment were as follows:

1.3 RISK FROM COLLATERALS For collateralized loans, TBANK carefully assesses and classifies quality of each type of collateral by taking into account the liquidity and overall risk. The assessment result is one of the important factors applied in the risk classification of each credit exposure. In this regard, the collateral, both in the form of immovable and movable whose value could be appraised, is subject to appraisal or valuation complying with the BOT’s regulations. In the past years, automobile hire purchase loans of TBANK have continued to expand. According to the BOT notification regarding the valueless and noncallable assets dated December 2006, the regulations on provisioning based on IAS39 whereby cars whose ownership belongs to the Bank can be used as collateral. In the case of default, the Bank is eligible to immediately repossess the collateral for the purpose of reselling in the used car market. As a result, TBANK might be exposed to risk from the inability to repossess the cars or from recovering the incurred loss by reselling the assets. Such conditions depend on various risk factors, for instance, the conditions of the used car market and the repossessed car itself. 1.4 RISK FROM GUARANTEES AND AVALS Under the current customer service, TBANK are also obligated in forms of avals, letter of credits, and loan guarantees, which the Bank is held responsible for, should the customers are unable to fulfill their obligations. In managing such risk, TBANK carefully scrutinizes supporting information and applies strict approval procedures to these obligations. The close monitoring on these transactions is undertaken based on the same guideline used for its regular lending procedure of the Bank. As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s obligations in the form of avals and guarantees for loans amounted to THB 5,608 million, or 1.35 percent of the total assets.

Under the expectation that the Thai economic condition as well as the world economy has passed its trough and the recovery is likely underway in 2010, TBANK increased its investments in the long-term domestic and foreign debt instruments with decent ratings with emphasis on bonds issued by government and state enterprises as well as the securities with strong fundamentals. Such strategy, as a result, has raised the price risk of the Bank to be higher than the previous year. 2.2 INTEREST RATE RISK The interest rate risk is the risk that TBANK’s earnings or capital are adversely affected by changes in interest rates that pose impact on its rate-sensitive items including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items whose re-pricing periods are mismatched. These changes may have a negative impact on net interest income of the Bank. It is the goal of TBANK to run its business operations under the system of long-term effective interest rate risk management, in other words, to maintain an appropriate structure of assets and liabilities which are rate-sensitive at different time intervals. To ensure maximum benefits, the Bank has developed the Interest

Rate Gap Analysis Model as a tool for measuring interest rate risk by assessing the impact that may arise from the mismatch of the re-pricing periods of assets, liabilities and obligations at different time intervals. In order to ensure that the risk of TBANK’s business operations is within an acceptable limit, the Bank has also established an acceptable risk ceiling and an early warning risk level, taking into account the structure of assets, liabilities and obligations as well as interest rate re-pricing which are expected to take place in each period of TBANK’s business plan. The Asset and Liability Management Committee “ALCO” is responsible for monitoring and controlling such risk very closely. To effectively design appropriate measures to accommodate the risks, the Committee has to monitor economic conditions, developments in the money market and capital market, and the interest rate trend which could become important risk factors to the Bank’s rate-sensitive items. Details of financial assets and liabilities as of 31 December 2009, classified by the period when the interest rates would be re-priced in accordance with contracts related to TBANK’s financial assets and liabilities were as follows: 61

As of 31 December 2009, TBANK was faced with relatively low exchange rate risk as most of the assets in foreign currencies have been hedged by forward contracts. 3. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk arises from TBANK’s inability to repay its debts or honor its obligations upon the delivery date due to the lack of its ability to convert assets into cash or to mobilize adequate funds or to mobilize funds at an acceptable cost. This could adversely affect the Bank’s current and future earnings and capital. The liquidity risk management mechanism starts with the assessment of the Bank’s cash flows and liquidity position over particular time horizons when the different levels of funds may be required to accommodate deposit withdrawal, reduce other types of the Bank’s liabilities, or increase the Bank’s assets. The assessment applies tools such as Liquidity Gap Analysis, various ratios on liquidity, as well as the simulation under “what if” scenarios. Under different scenarios, the impact on its liquidity adequacy will be analyzed given the cash flow level corresponding to customers’ behavior on the extension of contracts. Additionally, the Bank also estimates demand for liquidity under various assumptions based on economic conditions and extreme events that may affect the Bank itself and the overall banking system.

Based on the aforementioned structure of financial assets and liabilities, TBANK’s net interest income in the next year would decrease should the market interest rate increase. This was mainly due to the expansion of the Bank’s hire purchase business with fixed-interest-rate feature. 2.3 EXCHANGE RATE RISK The exchange rate risk is a risk that TBANK’s earnings or capital can be adversely affected by exchange rate fluctuations, exchange rate exposures in their possession of assets or liabilities or transactions in foreign currencies. The exchange rate risk can be divided into Transaction Risk from foreign currency transactions and Translation Risk from converting foreign currencies to local currency. The ALCO is responsible for monitoring and controlling this type of risk through the consideration in the proper matching between the structure and the maturity of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. TBANK’s policy is to also rely on the VaR model as a risk measurement tool to determining the risk ceiling in order to control the impact of exchange rate movements on earnings and capital. Nevertheless, in order to avoid the exchange rate risk, TBANK has also relied on hedging instruments such as forward contracts.

At the same time, TBANK has prepared the emergency plan in order to mitigate any liquidity shortage and the plan would be reviewed should important events affecting the planned operation occur. To control and monitor this liquidity risk, the ALCO conducts a weekly FUNDS CLASSIFIED BY SOURCE

meeting to discuss the updates and appropriate risk management policies. The structure of TBANK’s capital funding could be classified by different type and maturity of source of funds as follows:

As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s liquidity, consisting of cash and bank deposits, money market lending, and investment in the government and state enterprise bonds, increased from the previous year. This accounted for 30.16 percent of total deposits, which exceeded the BOT’s minimum liquidity requirement of 6.00 percent of total deposits. This increase was mainly due to the Bank’s expansion of customer base from rising number of branches. 4. OPERATIONAL RISK The operational risk is the risk that arises from the lack of appropriate governance of business affairs or lack of good governance within the organization. Risk may also arise from the inadequate efficiency of the internal audit and internal control systems which could be relating to internal operation processes, personnel, information technology systems, or external events. Such risks can

pose adverse impact on earnings and capital as well as the reputation and credibility of TBANK. The increasingly intensified competition among commercial banks and other financial institutions providing similar financial services with the Bank in the past year, together with the rapid expansion in the number of TBANK’s branches as well as the improved efficiency of the Bank to provide full financial services with international standards has made TBANK acutely aware of the probable operational risk. As a result, TBANK has placed equally emphasis on operational risks. TBANK has thus established a number of measures to ensure adequate and appropriate internal control systems in accordance with the change in transaction features. In order to allow the internal work processes to be more flexible and accommodative to the format of the Bank’s financial service more effectively and control the risk under the Bank’s acceptable limits, the following measures have been brought to implementation.

64

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 THANACHART BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED


• Regarding the organization of the Bank’s structure, TBANK has specified the roles, the scope of duties and responsibilities for each position, based on a system of check and balance. The Front Office where all the transactions take place is separated from the Middle Office that comprises of the Risk Control Department and the Back Office that are responsible for supervising and monitoring the transactions. • Establish the transaction-supporting units which are independent and have expertise in their respective fields of work such as computer and information system unit, legal unit, and price appraisal unit in order to prevent any possible errors. • Put operational procedures and regulations related to all types of transaction, staff manuals as well as the authority ranks for approval in writings as a guideline to set the same standards for all internal operations within the organization. • Establish the Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee to control, monitor, and assess the risks faced by TBANK. The Committees are held responsible for examining and correcting the pitfalls in order to create soundness and efficiency in the Bank’s operation. • Improve the management of the information technology system and IT Security System in order to enhance its potential to accommodate business expansion and gain creditability in the aspect of data and technology. A particular focus was given to the prevention of damages from unauthorized access to the Bank’s information. • Specify procedures in selecting the outsourcing service, both in the operation and information technology systems to minimize the operational risk, enhance efficiency and creditability in the Bank’s operation. These procedures have to also be subject to regulations of TBANK and related authorities.

• Formulate the Business Continuity Plan which consists of an emergency plan, a plan for backup systems, and a business recovery plan to prevent disruption in business operation. In addition, the drills are essential to test for the readiness and to consistently improve the plans for its effective implementation. Regarding the risk measurement, the Bank calculates the capital adequacy to accommodate this risk based on the Basic Indicator Approach in accordance with Basel II and the BOT notification. Furthermore, in preparation for the business plan and strict enforcement of Basel II from the supervisory authority in the future periods, TBANK has developed the database collecting the information of loss data incurred from operation to use as the database to develop tools under the Standardized Approach and Advanced Measurement Approach, which are more accurate in reflecting risks associated with each transaction.

5. RISK FROM INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES This type of risk arises from losses and bankruptcy of the subsidiaries and associated companies from TBANK’s shareholding or joint investments adversely affect the Bank’s earnings and capital. As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s total investments in its subsidiaries and associated companies amounted to THB 4,482 million, accounting for 6.93 percent of the Bank’s net investment. The largest share was allocated in TNS, amounting to THB 1,858 million which accounted for 41.45 percent of the total investments in subsidiaries and associated companies. The second largest was in TLIFE, in which amounted to THB 936 million, representing 20.88 percent of the Bank’s total investment. Details of the Bank’s investment (cost method) in TBANK’s subsidiaries and associated companies as of 31 December 2009 were as follows:

6. STRATEGIC RISK This type of risk arises from the inappropriate formulation of strategies, business planning and implementation which are not compatible with internal setups and external environment, resulting in an adverse impact on earnings, capital or the existence of TBANK. In managing the strategic risk, the formulation of strategies for TBANK will be considered over the three years ahead, with the review required annually or in the case of an external event that may impact the achievement of the Bank’s business goals. The Executive Committee is responsible for regular monitoring and evaluating the performance of the work units upon the established targets stated in the annual operation plan. 7. REGULATORY RISK The risk arises from amendments or changes in regulations, laws or requirements of the authorities especially the BOT. Changes in the authority’s policy may affect TBANK’s strategies and business operations.

In 2009, most changes in regulations and requirements from the related authorities have concentrated on the improvement of measures to promote corporate governance of financial institutions, more efficient risk management and improved consumer protection. These measures therefore posed no significant impact on the Bank’s strategies and business operation. And throughout, TBANK has constantly improved and developed the internal operation system as well as customer service standard. This has also been an important mission for the Bank that the business operation has to also comply with authorities’ rules and regulations.

8. RISK FROM CAPITAL ADEQUACY As of 31 December 2009, TBANK’s capital amounted to THB 38,557 million, of which THB 23,645 million was in Tier I and THB 14,912 million was in Tier II. The BIS ratio amounted to 14.10 percent which exceeded the BOT’s minimum requirement at 8.50 percent. This level of capital should be sufficient in accommodating any potential risks as well as the Bank’s future business expansion.

Throughout 2009, the Audit Committee received full cooperation from the management as well as the staff concerned. Also in 2009, the Committee held seven meetings in total with the auditor, the internal auditor and Thanachart Bank’s management.

Investments Investments in trading securities are determined at fair value. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognise changes in the value of the securities as income (loss) in the income statements. Investments in available-for-sale securities, both held for short-term and long-term investment, are determined at fair value. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognise changes in the value of the securities as separate items in shareholders’ equity until the securities are sold, when they are then included in determining income. Investments in debt securities, both due within one year and expected to be held to maturity, are recorded at amortised cost. Premiums/discounts on debt securities are amortised by the effective rate method with the amortised amount presented as an adjustment to the interest income. Investments in non-marketable equity securities which are classified as other investments are stated at cost net of allowance for impairment (if any). The Bank and its subsidiaries do not treat investments in mutual fund as being in associated or subsidiary companies because the Bank and its subsidiaries do not have control or influence over the financial and operating policy of these funds, which are independently managed by the fund manager in accordance with the details of each fund project and the funds are under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fair value of marketable securities is based on the latest bid price of the last working day of the year as quoted on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The fair value of government bonds, state enterprise securities and private sector debt securities is determined using the formula quoted by the BOT, which is based on the yield rate quoted by the Thai Bond Market Association adjusted by an appropriate risk factor. The fair value of unit trusts is determined based on their net asset value. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognised loss on impairment (if any) of available-for-sale securities, held-tomaturity debt securities and other investments in the statements of income. The weighted average method is used for computation of the cost of investments. In the event of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ transfer investments to another category, the investments are valued at their fair value prevailing on the transfer date. Differences between the carrying amount of the investments and their fair value on that date are recorded as gains (losses) in determining income or surplus (deficit) from revaluation of investments, which is presented as a separate item in shareholders’ equity and amortised over the remaining period to maturity of the debt securities, depending on the type of investment which is reclassified.

4.5

Investments in subsidiary and associated companies Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements are accounted for under the cost method net of allowance for impairment (if any). Loss on impairment is recognised as expenses in the income statements. Investment in an associated company in the consolidated financial statements is accounted for under the equity method. Under this method, investment is initially recorded at acquisition cost and is adjusted to reflect the attributable share of the income from the operations of the associated company, in proportion to the investment. 118

4.6

Securities purchased under resale agreements The Bank enters into agreements with a private company to purchase securities, whereby there is an agreement to resell the securities at certain dates and at a fixed price.

4.9

Allowances for doubtful accounts a)

The Bank provides allowances for doubtful accounts in accordance with the Notifications of the BOT and adjusts these by the additional amount which is expected not to be collectible based on an evaluation of the current status of the debtors, taking into consideration the recovery risk and the value of collateral. Increase (decrease) in an allowance for doubtful debts is recognised as an expense during the year. The Bank sets provision for normal loans (including restructured receivables) and special mention loans at minimum rates of 1% and 2%, respectively, of the loan balances (excluding accrued interest receivable) net of collateral value, as required by the BOT’s guidelines. Collateral value included values of vehicles under hire purchase and finance lease contracts. For non-performing loans, provision is set at a rate of 100% of the debt balance remaining after deducting the present value of expected future cash flows from debt collection or from collateral disposal, based on the use of a discount rate and assumptions as to the time needed to dispose of the collateral, in accordance with the BOT’s guideline. However, non-performing hire purchase receivables and financial lease receivables are treated as having no collateral.

b)

A securities subsidiary has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of debtors’ repayment capability, taking into consideration the risk of recovery and the value of collateral. An allowance is set aside for doubtful debts not fully covered by collateral and/or those which may not be fully recovered. Such debt classifications and provisions are made in accordance with the Notifications of the SEC.

c)

Subsidiaries engaged in hire purchase and leasing businesses have provided allowance for doubtful accounts at percentages of the amount of principal outstanding net of unearned income, based on the number of months overdue (with reference to the classification of loans under BOT’s guidelines). Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the loan balances after net of collateral value for receivables overdue no more than 3 months, while provided based on the loans balance without deducting collateral value for receivables overdue more than 3 months. 119

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 THANACHART BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

d)

Allowance for doubtful accounts of other receivables is based on the amount of debt that may not be collectible, determined from a review of the current status of the receivables as at the balance sheet date.

e)

The Bank writes off hire purchase receivables when full allowance for doubtful accounts has been made for such receivables. For other loans, the Bank and its subsidiaries will be written off when the relevant criteria under tax law are met.

f)

Amounts written off as bad debts or bad debt recovery are deducted from or added to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

4.10 Troubled debt restructuring In cases where the debt restructuring involves modifications of the terms, the fair value of the receivables after restructuring is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows, discounted by the market’s minimum interest rate for credit to large customers as at the date of the debt restructuring. The differences between the fair values of receivables as of the restructuring date and their previous book values is recorded in “Revaluation allowance for debt restructuring”, and recognised as an expense in the income statements in the restructuring period. The Bank and its subsidiaries review such revaluation allowance based on the net present value of future cash flows over the remaining period to maturity, recognising adjustments against bad debt and doubtful accounts. In cases where the troubled debt restructuring involves the transfer of assets or equity, the Bank and its subsidiaries record the assets or equity interest received as a result of debt restructuring at their fair value (based on the value appraised by internal appraisers or external independent appraisers) providing this does not exceed the amount of principal legally claimable from the debtor (including interest of which recognition has ceased until the restructuring date). Any excess of the fair value of the assets over the book value is recognised as interest income in the income statements. Losses arising from debt restructuring through waivers of part of principal or recorded accrued interest receivable are recognised in the income statement when incurred. 4.11 Recognition and amortisation of customers’ assets Assets which customers have placed with the subsidiary company for securities trading, in term of cash accounts and credit balance accounts, including amounts which customers have placed as security for derivative trading, are recorded as assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company for internal control purpose. As at the balance sheet date, the subsidiary company writes off those amounts which there are no guarantee obligations from both assets and liabilities and presents only those assets which belong to the subsidiary company. 4.12 Property foreclosed Property foreclosed is stated at the lower of cost (fair value with reference to appraisal value less estimated selling expenses, providing this does not exceed the legally claimable amount of debt) or net realisable value, which is determined with reference to the latest appraisal value less estimated selling expenses, adjusts these in accordance with the BOT’s guideline and taking into consideration the type and the nature of the assets. Gains on disposal of property foreclosed are recognised in the income statements on disposal date, unless the purchase is made with a loan from the Bank. In such cases, gains are recognised in accordance with the BOT’s guideline. Losses on disposal and impairment are recognised as expenses in the income statement. 4.13 Land, premises and equipment and depreciation a)

Land and assets in progress are stated at cost and depreciation is not provided.

b)

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment (if any). Depreciation is calculated with reference to cost on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings Buildings improvement Furniture, fixtures and equipment Motor vehicles

20 5 - 10 5 - 10 5

years years years years

Depreciation is included in determining income. 4.14 Intangible assets and amortisation Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). The Bank and its subsidiaries amortised intangible assets with finite lives on a systematic basis over the economic useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method of such intangible assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end. The amortisation expense and loss on impairment are recognized as expenses in the income statement. The intangible assets with finite useful lives have useful lives of approximately 5 - 10 years. 4.15 Goodwill Goodwill has been initially measured at cost, which is the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Bank’s share in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, and is tested for impairment annually or when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Bank estimates the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. 4.16 Long-term leases Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Bank and its subsidiaries are classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other payables, while the interest element is charged to the income statement over the lease period. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Lease not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as operating leases. The Bank and its subsidiaries record advance payments made under operating leases as leasehold rights, and amortise them as expenses in the income statement over the term of the leases on the straight - line basis. Moreover, payments made under operating leases are recognised as expenses in the income statement over the term of the leases on the straight-line basis. 4.17 Premium due and uncollected and allowance for doubtful accounts Premium due and uncollected is carried at its net realisable value. Subsidiary companies provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the estimated loss that may be incurred in the collection of the premium due, on the basis of collection experience and a review of current status of the premium due as at the balance sheet date. 4.18 Sales of commercial paper The Bank recorded commercial paper with an aval by the Bank, or without an aval or acceptance which is sold with recourse, as a liability under the caption of “Liabilities under commercial paper sold”. Commercial paper sold at a discount with recourse, which is avaled by or has acceptance from a commercial bank or other finance company, is recorded by crediting the notes receivable account, and the obligations disclosed as part of “Contingent liabilities”. 121

4.19 Securities and derivatives business payables Securities and derivatives business payables are the obligations of the subsidiary in respect of its securities and derivatives business with the outside parties. 4.20 Loss reserve and outstanding claims/Benefits payment to life policy Non-life insurance business Outstanding claims are recorded at the amount to be actually paid. Loss reserve is provided upon the receipt of the claims advice from the insured based on the claims notified by the insured and estimates made by a subsidiary company’s management. The estimated value of losses is limited to not more than the sum insured of the related insurance policies. In addition, a subsidiary company set up additional provision for losses incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) based on historical experience but at no less than 2.5 percent of the total net written premiums in the twelve months prior to the allocation date, in compliance with the Notification of the Ministry of Commerce governing the appropriation of unearned premium reserves and loss reserve by non-life insurance companies. However, from 1 January 2009, a subsidiary company set up provision for IBNR at the higher of the reserve calculated using standard actuarial claims techniques and 2.5 percent of total net written premiums in the previous twelve months. Life insurance business Benefits paid under life policies are provided for upon receipt of the claims advices from the insured or in accordance with the conditions of the policy. 4.21 Related party transactions Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Bank and its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Bank and its subsidiaries. They also include associated company and individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the Bank and its subsidiaries that give them significant influence over the Bank and its subsidiaries, key management personnel, directors and officers with authority in the planning and direction of the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ operations. 4.22 Impairment of assets The Bank and its subsidiaries assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Bank and its subsidiaries realise loss on impairment when the asset’s recoverable amount is less than the book value. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell reflects the amount that the Bank and its subsidiaries could obtain at the balance sheet date from the disposal of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognise impairment losses in the income statement. The Bank and its subsidiaries assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Bank and its subsidiaries estimate the asset’s recoverable amount and the impairment loss recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill is reversed.

Significant Significant accounting judgments and estimates 5. accounting judgments and estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles at times requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures and actual results could differ. Significant accounting judgments and estimates are as follows: 5.1

Recognition and derecognition of assets and liabilities In considering whether to recognise and derecognise assets or liabilities, the management is required to make judgment on whether significant risk and rewards of those assets or liabilities have been transferred, based on their best knowledge of the current events and arrangements.

5.2

Allowance for doubtful accounts for loans Allowance for doubtful accounts for loans is intended to adjust the value of loans for probable credit losses. The management uses the BOT’s regulation regarding the provision of allowance for doubtful accounts and judgments to estimate losses on outstanding loans when there is any doubt about the borrower’s capability to repay the principal and/or the interest. The allowances for loan losses are determined through a combination of specific reviews, probability of default, value of collateral and current economic conditions. 123

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 THANACHART BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

5.3

Fair value of financial instruments In determining the fair value of financial instruments that are not actively traded and for which quoted market prices are not readily available, the management exercised judgment, using a variety of valuation techniques and models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets, and includes consideration of liquidity, correlation and longer-term volatility of financial instruments.

5.4

Allowance for impairment of investments The Bank and its subsidiaries review an impairment of investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires the management’s judgment.

5.5

Allowance for impairment of property foreclosed The Bank and its subsidiaries assess allowance for impairment of property foreclosed when net realizable value falls below the book value. The management uses the BOT’s regulation and judgment to estimate impairment losses, taking into consideration the latest appraisal value, the type and the nature of the assets.

5.6

Property, premise and equipment/Depreciation In determining depreciation of premise and equipment, the management is required to make estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of the premise and equipment and to review estimate useful lives and salvage values when there are any changes.

5.7

Goodwill and intangible assets The initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and intangible assets requires the management to make judgment of the recoverable amount to be generated by the asset using the discounted cash flows method. The estimated cash flows may differ as a result of competitive forces, or changes in revenue trends, cost structures, and the discount rate, industry circumstances or related market conditions.

5.8

Finance lease/Operating lease In determining whether a lease is to be classified as an operating lease or finance lease, the management is required to use judgment regarding whether significant risk and rewards of ownership of the leased assets have been transferred to the leasee. Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the leasee are classified as financial leases. In the other hand, leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the leasee are classified as operating lease.

5.9

Loss sharing from transfer of non-performing loans to TAMC In estimating losses arising from the transfer of non-performing loans to the Thai Asset Management Corporation (“TAMC”), the Bank uses the latest information received from TAMC and projections of the amounts expected to be received from the debtors or from collateral value. The management uses judgment in determining the assumptions as to the percentage on the amount expected to be recovered from the debt restructuring agreement, or as to collateral value. The management considers these assumptions to be appropriate given the currently available information and current situation

5.10 Life insurance premium reserve Life insurance premium reserve is calculated under the actuarial method, based on the assumptions established at inception of the contract which reflect the best estimate at the time, increased with a margin for risk and adverse deviation. The main assumptions used relate to mortality, morbidity, longevity, expenses, and discount rates. 5.11 Loss reserve and outstanding claims Part of the loss reserve for claims of the subsidiary company is estimated by the subsidiary’s management on the basis of claims advices received from insured parties. Another part is for losses incurred but not yet reported (IBNR), which is estimated using a range of standard actuarial claims techniques. The main assumption underlying these techniques relate to historical claims experience, including development of estimates of paid and incurred losses, average costs per claim, claim numbers and insurance type. 124

5.12 Litigation The Bank and its subsidiaries have contingent liabilities as a result of litigation. The management has used judgment to assess of the results of the litigation case, and in case where they believe that there will be no losses, they will provide no contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. 6. 6.

Directors’ remuneration Directors’ remuneration represents the benefits paid to the directors of the Bank and a public subsidiary company in accordance with Section 90 of the Public Limited Companies Act, including the payment of remuneration amounting to approximately Baht 8 million to the Bank’s directors, which was approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 28 April 2009, exclusive of salaries and related benefits payable to directors who hold executive positions.

31. Corporate income 31. Corporate income tax tax Corporate income tax was calculated on net income for the year, after adding back expenses and provisions which are disallowable for tax computation purposes and deducting income which is exempted for tax computation purposes. From 1 January 2007, the Bank changed the method of recording property foreclosed – movable assets from recording the cost of such assets at the book value of the receivables on the transfer date, to recording them at the fair value (with reference to appraisal value less estimated selling expenses), providing this does not exceed the legal claim over such receivables. In this regard, the Bank restated the 2006 financial statements to reflect the change, of which the effect was to decrease corporate income tax of the year 2006 by Baht 102 million. In May 2008, the Bank received such tax refund from the Revenue Department and presented such amount under “Corporate income tax refundable” in the income statement.

32. Earnings pershare share 32. Earnings per Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income of the Bank’s portion for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

38.4 Fair value Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The Bank and its subsidiaries have estimated the fair value of financial instruments as follows: a)

Financial assets

The method used for determining the fair value depends upon the characteristics of the financial instruments. The fair values of most financial assets are presented at the amount stated in the balance sheet, including cash, interbank and money market items, receivables from clearing house and loans. These financial assets have their fair value approximate to their respective carrying value since the values of these financial instruments are predominantly subject to market interest rates. Financial instruments with standard terms and conditions which are traded on an active and liquid market, such as investments, have their fair values determined by the quoted market price. b)

Financial liabilities

The fair values of financial liabilities, including deposits, interbank and money market items, payable to clearing house, securities business payable, liabilities payable on demand, and borrowings, are considered to approximate their respective carrying values for the same reasons as described above. As at 31 December 2009 and 2008, there are no material differences between the book value of financial instruments of the Bank and its subsidiaries and their fair value.

The Bank and its subsidiaries have a policy to hedge the risk limits by which it requires risk reporting for the various types of risk, as a control over financial derivative activities.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Throughout its 30 years of business operations, Thanachart Group has taken a responsible attitude towards society. The Group believes that conducting its business affairs which are underpinned by a sense of social responsibility, will lead to the long-term sustainability of the business. Although there is no compulsory requirement for such activities, the Group has taken on the responsibility voluntarily. The top management of the Group has played an important role in promoting the principles of social responsibility. These principles fall under the umbrella of the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that places emphasis on “sustainable growth with moral righteousness”. Supported by its staff, business alliances, local communities and society, the Group is prepared to consistently participate in activities that support or help local communities and society in a long term manner with understanding and sincerity. In this regard, Thanachart Group’s socially responsible activities can be divided into two main categories as follows: 1. Socially Responsible Business The conduct of its business affairs with social responsibility is based on the principles of CSR that focus on “sustainable growth with moral righteousness”. Throughout its 30 years of business operations, the Group has strictly adhered to the principle of rejecting any business that is ethically questionable or socially harmful. Its mainstream business practices that reflect a sense of social responsibility include the following: 1.1 The conduct of business affairs of all member companies of Thanachart Group does not support any business or organization that is illegal or immoral. Nor do the companies involve themselves in such businesses or organizations. Staff at all levels of the Group shall also strictly adhere to ethical and moral principles. 1.2 In selling or offering any product or service, full information about its limitations or terms and conditions has to be clearly and completely disclosed to customers from the outset. 1.3 Private information of customers has to be protected and remains confidential. As well, all the member companies strictly comply with the legal requirements relating to the private information of customers. 1.4 Offices and work environment has be safe and supportive of the well being of the staff members. 1.5 The Group promotes energy conservation, environmental protection and a reduction of the excessive use of paper and the use of toxic materials that cause air pollution or are harmful to health.

2. CSR Activities The Group may initiate socially beneficial activities on its own or invite experts to help organize such activities. To achieve the objectives efficiently, it may have to establish relationships with stakeholders that can help implement the activities. In addition, it may also invite other groups of stakeholders to participate in the socially beneficial activities in order to achieve a broader impact. Furthermore, for the benefits to be gained by the beneficiaries, the Group has designed activities to primarily focusing around the beneficiaries. The CSR activities can be divided into two sub-categories as follows: 2.1 Activities that encourages well-doings for society TBANK has taken the representative role to promote organization or business units for their charitable activities to the society without any returning deeds through the “Ri Rerm .. Term Tem” (Initiate and Fulfill) program. The program reports to general public the updates on missions for social activities, position of the organization or charities that are socially responsible, for instance, Foundation for Slum Child Care, Foundation for the Better Life of Children, Foundation for Balance Growth of Rural Community - Plarnkhoi, Chaiyapruk Foundation, the Thai Scout Unit, and Satabun Saeng Sawang Foundation. These are charitable organizations to support the underprivileged in various areas including educationally disadvantaged persons, disable persons, as well as the elderly. This program was broadcasted as a 1.30-minute scoop of “Khon Khon Khon” (variety/talk show) Program on Channel 9 (Modern Nine TV). Apart from taking a role of an intermediary between beneficiaries and donors, TBANK also organized the event called “Thanachart Ri Rerm..Term Tem: Saving Merit Festival” whereby 12 charities and social units were provided the opportunity to promote their socially charitable activities as well as to raise funds to support their organizations. The event has proven successful from good responses from the public to support funding on the operating capital of participating organizations. Moreover, TBANK has also initiated the project “Donating via ATM with TBANK” by which the TBANK’s ATM card holders can donate to the participated charities at every TBANK’s ATM and branches countrywide without any fee as another channel to encourage the social responsible activities. 2.2 TBANK’s in-house social activities The program has been initiated from the cooperation of all entities in Thanachart Group around the 194

country. The scope of TBANK’s social responsibility activities has been determined by the relevance of such activities to the business and the real need of the community. The activities can be categorized according to the operating guideline into the four major groups: (1) Education or child development; (2) Opportunity for the underprivileged in the society; (3) Road and traffic safety; and (4) Environmental preservation. The objective of the program is to provide the opportunity for TBANK to be an integral part of the local community where TBANK has business liability. Therefore, the activities undertaken by each hub are different according to the observed demand or local cultures in each community, which will be proposed to the program’s committee for approval. The activities will be undertaken by each hub with the support from headquarters, for example: • “TBANK cares children wear safety helmet” Peoject The project launched a campaign encouraging the wear safety helmets to reduce traffic accidents of the kindergarten to elementary school students who commute to school on the back of their parent’s motorcycles. 3,000 helmets were provided to students of the school located in Songkhla, Pattani, Phitsanulok, and Nakhon Pathom Provinces. Moreover, the project provided the lecture to the parents on how to drive safely by traffic police as well. • “Bicycle for young children” Project A total of 200 bicycles were given to rural

schools located in Amphur Fang, Chiang Mai Province, so that students who live in the distant area can spend less commuting time as they can borrow the bicycle to travel between their home and school.
