+14.7%
another year of strong growth in revenue and earnings. The Bank recorded a profit before
zakat and taxation of RM703.2 million, which is a growth of 14.7% compared to the
previous financial year. The Bank also registered robust growth in loans, advances and
deposits. Profit Before
Zakat & Taxation
Throughout 2012, we continued to diligently focus on growing the Bank’s business and
market presence. We launched new marketing campaigns, expanded our branch network
and further improved on customer service levels by enhancing operational efficiency and
productivity. The Bank also increased its investment in operational capabilities to support
long-term business growth, particularly in Talent Management and Information Technology
(IT).
In line with this improvement, the Board is recommending a final dividend of 6 sen per
share, subject to shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Together
+12.2%
with the interim dividend of 9 sen per share paid, the total dividend payout will amount to Loan Growth
15 sen per share or RM227.8 million, representing a record payment.
Aside from financial performance, AFFINBANK also saw healthy organic growth in its
business operations.
We successfully opened three new branches to bring our network strength to 100
nationwide. Expanding our network is vital for further building our market presence and to
tap growing opportunities, particularly in serving the retail and SME segments in which we
already have a strong positioning.
Our O.M.G marketing campaign, O.M.G The Trilogy, now in its third year, has proven to
be most successful in growing our deposits portfolio. The campaign was one of the key
success factors towards the significant growth in the Bank’s customers and deposits.
Internally, we focused on comprehensive human capital development and talent recruitment

March 2012. Likewise the Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 will be tabled
at the 37th AGM on Monday, 25 March 2013.

Statement on
INTERNAL CONTROL
INTERNAL CONTROL
AFFINBANK has a well-established and fully operational risk management and internal control system. The Statement on Internal
Control, which is set out in the Annual Report provides an overview on the risk management process/framework as well as on how
the internal control system has been designed to manage risks and avert failures. AFFINBANK continues to enhance its system of
internal control and risk management, in order to better quantify its compliance with the Code.
The Board has overall responsibility for maintaining the proper management and protection of AFFINBANK’s interests by
ensuring effective implementation of the risk management policy and process, as well as adherence to a sound system
of internal control, and by seeking regular assurance on their effectiveness. The Board also recognizes that risks cannot
be eliminated completely. As such, the inherent system of internal control is designed to provide a reasonable though not
absolute assurance against the risk on material errors, fraud or losses occurring.
The Audit & Examination Committee has an oversight responsibility for the adequacy and integrity of the internal control
system. Reliance is placed on the results of independent audits performed primarily by Group internal auditors, the outcome
of statutory audits on financial statements conducted by external auditors and on representations by Management based on
their control self-assessment on all areas of their responsibility.
Minutes of Audit & Examination Committee meetings, which provide a summary of the proceedings, are circulated to Board
members for notation and discussion.
AFFINBANK has an established Group Internal Audit Division which reports functionally to the Audit & Examination Committee
and administratively to the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer. The division is responsible for conducting independent
audits in accordance with the approved annual Internal Audit Plan.
RELATIONSHIP WITH AUDITORS
A professional and transparent relationship continues to exist between the Board/Audit & Examination Committee and the
external auditors. The Audit Committee is authorized to communicate directly with both the external and Group internal auditors.
A full Audit Committee report outlining its role in relation to the Auditors is also set out in the Annual Report. In addition, the
external auditors meet with the Board at least once a year when the annual audited financial statements are presented to the
Board.
ASSURANCE
The Board through the Audit & Examination Committee has satisfactorily performed its oversight role in ensuring there
is a sound internal control system and regular review on the adequacy and integrity of the system. Assurance on the
effectiveness of risk management, control and governance process is obtained from the Management and Auditors (internal
and external).
BNM auditors, Group internal auditors and external auditors conduct independent audits on AFFINBANK’s business
operations, support activities and financial records and statements respectively to derive an opinion on the adequacy and
integrity of AFFINBANK’s overall internal control framework.
Finally, with the benefit of the above assurances and the external auditor’s comments incorporated in their audit report to
the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2012, the Board is able to conclude that AFFINBANK
conducts its business prudently and in line with good governance practices.

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
Responsibility
The Board acknowledges overall responsibility for AFFINBANK Group’s system of internal controls and its effectiveness. The
system of internal controls encompasses controls relating to financial, operational, risk management and compliance with
applicable laws, regulations, policies and guidelines.
However, the system of internal controls is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risks of failure to achieve the
goals and objectives of the Group. Therefore, it can only provide a reasonable and not absolute assurance against material
misstatement of management and financial information, or against financial losses or fraud.
The Board has an established process for identifying, evaluating, managing and reporting all significant risks that may impact
the achievement of business goals and objectives of the Group. The system of internal controls is dynamic and updated from
time to time to meet the changes in regulatory guidelines and business environment. This process is regularly reviewed by the
Board through its Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC) and Audit and Examination Committee (AEC).
The Board is of the view that the system of internal controls in place for the year under review is sound and sufficient to
safeguard the investment of the shareholders, the interest of the customers and regulators, and the assets of the Group.
The management assists the Board in implementing the policies approved by the Board, implementing risk and control
procedures, and developing, operating and monitoring internal controls to mitigate and control identified risks.
Key Internal Control Processes
The key processes put in place to assist the Board in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal controls
include the following:
• Relevant Board committees are established with specific responsibilities delegated by the Board to deliberate on matters
within the respective scope of responsibility. The committees are guided by written terms of reference and their minutes
of meetings are tabled to the Board.
• The BRMC assists the Board in its supervisory role concerning the overall management of risk in the Bank. It has
responsibility for reviewing and approving all risk management policies and risk management methodologies. BRMC
also reviews guidelines and portfolio management reports including risk exposure information.
• The Board Loan Review and Recovery Committee (BLRRC) critically reviews loans and other credit facilities with higher
risk implications, after due process of checking, analysis, review and recommendation by Group Risk Management and
if found necessary, exercise the power to veto loan applications that have been approved by the Group Management
Loan Committee (GMLC). BLRRC also reviews the non performing loan reports presented by the Management.
• Group Management Committee (GMCM), comprising the senior management team, assists the Board in managing
day-to-day operations and ensure its effectiveness. GMCM formulates tactical plans and business strategies, monitors
the Bank’s overall performance and ensures that the activities are in accordance with corporate objectives, strategies,
policies and annual business plan and budget.
• The Group Management Loan Committee (GMLC) is established within senior management to approve complex
and larger loans and workout recovery proposals beyond the delegated authority of the concerned individual senior
management personnel of the Bank. The other committees comprising senior management include Asset & Liability
Management Committee (ALCO) which manages market and liquidity risks and Group Operational Risk Management
Committee (GORMC) which manages operational risk.

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
• A detailed budgeting process is in place with annual business plans and budgets prepared by the business divisions,
reviewed by the GMCM and approved by the Board. The actual business performances are monitored against the
approved targets and budgets of each business division by GMCM on a monthly basis.
• The business plan is supported by an annual credit plan, prepared by Group Risk Management and approved by
BRMC. The credit plan sets out the prevailing risk appetite and provides credit strategies and lending guidelines for the
development and management of new and existing customer relationships.
• Policies and procedures for key processes are documented and regularly updated to ensure relevance and compliance
with internal controls, directives, laws and regulations. To enhance risk culture and awareness, road shows are undertaken
by Group Risk Management across the Bank.
• Proper guidelines for the hiring and termination of employees, staff training programs and performance appraisals are
established and other relevant procedures in place to ensure staff are adequately trained and equipped to carry out their
responsibilities competently.
• An integrated risk management framework is in place. The risk management function operates in an independent
capacity and is a part of the Bank’s senior management structure which works closely as a team in managing risks to
enhance stakeholders’ value. Its responsibilities extend to cover market, liquidity, credit and operational risks. The risk
management function reports to BRMC.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS AND FINANCING
Before the financial statements of the Group and the Bank were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to ascertain
that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and financing and the making of allowance for bad
and doubtful debts and financing, and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts and financing had been written off and
adequate allowances made for doubtful debts and financing.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the amount written off for bad
debts and financing, or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts and financing, in the financial statements of the Group
and the Bank inadequate to any substantial extent.

current assets in the financial statements of the Group and the Bank misleading.

the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities in the Group’s and the Bank’s financial statements misleading or

the ordinary course of banking business or activities of the Group.

ensure that there is a balance of power and authority. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the longer-
term strategic plans of the Bank as well as the business strategies. It is also responsible for identifying the principal risks
and implementation of appropriate systems to manage those risks as well as reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the

supporting technology platform and business processes.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
With the softening in China and India market, coupled with the prolonged economic slowdown in Europe and the United States,
the last financial year proved to be another challenging period for the Bank and the country as a whole as domestic economy
remained relatively flat supported by government spending.
Taking into account the economic environment and its impacts, the Bank throughout 2012 continues to strive for business growth
and further strengthen its position in the industry. These objectives were realised through four main strategic measures:
• Focus on preservation of capital by enhancing fee based income and managing asset quality.
• Continuously aiming for sustainable business growth.
• Managing return on assets (‘ROA’) and cost-to-income ratio effectively – to be within the industry standard.
• Enhancing customer reach by opening up new branches in new growth areas, relocations of existing branches, extending
ATM network services as well as ensuring excellent customer service nationwide.
• Despite the challenges faced, the Bank was able to register steady gross loans growth of 12.22%, positive growth of about
12.90% in deposits, while net impaired loans ratio stood at 1.11%, return on equity (‘ROE’) at 14.08%, ROA at 1.04 %, and
cost-to-income ratio at 45.24%. Overall, the Bank’s key financial numbers are very much within the industry standard.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 2013
The Bank is confident that the domestic economy still holds much opportunity for business growth and intends to pursue
these opportunities prudently. The Bank will continue to ensure that loans portfolio is well managed through proactive account
management.
Moving forward, the Bank will also continue to balance its exposure between business and consumer loans. Within business
banking, focus will be given to SMEs and contract financing loans so as to diversify the risk as well as ensuring better return.
For consumer segment, focus will be on financing of new cars as well as mortgage loans in selected areas.
The Bank will also continue to leverage on Group synergy by exploring potential business opportunities with the Lembaga
Tabung Angkatan Tentera (‘LTAT’) / Boustead Group of Companies

summary of significant
accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2012
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation
to the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements of the Group and the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards (‘MFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies
Act 1965 in Malaysia. The financial statements incorporate those activities relating to Islamic banking business which have
been undertaken by AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. Islamic banking business refers
generally to the acceptance of deposits and granting of financing under the Shariah principles.
The financial statements of the Group and the Bank for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 are the first set of
financial statements prepared in accordance with the MFRS, including MFRS 1 “First-time adoption of MFRS”. The Group
and the Bank’s first MFRS financial statements include at least three statements of financial position, two statements of
comprehensive income, two separate income statements, two statements of cash flows and two statements of changes in
equity and related notes, including comparative information. The Group and the Bank have consistently applied the same
accounting policies in its opening MFRS statement of financial position at 1 January 201 1 (transition date) and throughout
all years presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. There is no significant financial impact on the adoption
of MFRS that requires restatement to the comparative figures in the financial statements.
The financial statements of the Group and the Bank have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless
otherwise indicated in this summary of significant accounting policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
It also requires Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Group and Bank’s accounting policies.
Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual
results may differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates
are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 44.
Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the
Group but not yet effective
The Group and the Bank will apply the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations in the following
period:
(i) Financial year beginning on/after 1 January 2013
• MFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” (effective from 1 January 2013) changes the definition of control.
An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. It establishes control
as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements and sets out
the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. It replaces all the guidance
on control and consolidation in MFRS 127 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” and IC Interpretation
112 “Consolidation – special purpose entities”.

summary of significant accounting policies
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Group but not yet effective (continued)
(i) Financial year beginning on/after 1 January 2013 (continued)
• MFRS 11 “Joint arrangements” (effective from 1 January 2013) requires a party to a joint arrangement to
determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations arising from
the arrangement, rather than its legal form. There are two types of joint arrangement: joint operations and joint
ventures. Joint operations arise where a joint operator has rights to the assets and obligations relating to the
arrangement and hence accounts for its interest in assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Joint ventures arise
where the joint operator has rights to the net assets of the arrangement and hence equity accounts for its interest.
Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed.
• MFRS 12 “Disclosures of interests in other entities” (effective from 1 January 2013) sets out the required disclosures
for entities reporting under the two new standards, MFRS 10 and MFRS 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements
currently found in MFRS 128 “Investments in associates”. It requires entities to disclose information that helps
financial statement readers to evaluate the nature, risks and financial effects associated with the entity’s interests
in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities.
• MFRS 13 “Fair value measurement” (effective from 1 January 2013) aims to improve consistency and reduce
complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and
disclosure requirements for use across MFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting
but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards.
The enhanced disclosure requirements are similar to those in MFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures”, but
apply to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, not just financial ones.
• The revised MFRS 127 “Separate financial statements” (effective from 1 January 2013) includes the provisions on
separate financial statements that are left after the control provisions of MFRS 127 have been included in the new
MFRS 10.
• The revised MFRS 128 “Investments in associates and joint ventures” (effective from 1 January 2013) includes the
requirements for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted following the issue of MFRS 11.
• Amendment to MFRS 101 “Presentation of items of other comprehensive income” (effective from 1 July 2012)
requires entities to separate items presented in ‘other comprehensive income’ (‘OCI’) in the statement of
comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the
future. The amendments do not address which items are presented in OCI.
• Amendment to MFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” (effective from 1 January 2013) requires more
extensive disclosures focusing on quantitative information about recognised financial instruments that are offset in
the statement of financial position and those that are subject to master netting or similar arrangements irrespective
of whether they are offset.

(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Group but not yet effective (continued)
(ii) Financial year beginning on/after 1 January 2014
• Amendment to MFRS 132 “Financial instruments: Presentation” (effective from 1 January 2014) does not change
the current offsetting model in MFRS 132. It clarifies the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of
set-off’ that the right of set-off must be available today (not contingent on a future event) and legally enforceable
for all counterparties in the normal course of business. It clarifies that some gross settlement mechanisms with
features that are effectively equivalent to net settlement will satisfy the MFRS 132 offsetting criteria.
(iii) Financial year beginning on/after 1 January 2015
• MFRS 9 “Financial instruments - classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities” (effective
from 1 January 2015) replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in MFRS 139 with a single
model that has only two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends
on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of
the financial asset.
The accounting and presentation for financial liabilities and for de-recognising financial instruments has been
relocated from MFRS 139, without change, except for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through
profit or loss (‘FVTPL’). Entities with financial liabilities designated at FVTPL recognise changes in the fair value
due to changes in the liability’s credit risk directly in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’). There is no subsequent
recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss, but accumulated gains or losses may be transferred within
equity.
The guidance in MFRS 139 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply.
MFRS 7 requires disclosures on transition from MFRS 139 to MFRS 9.
The Group and the Bank will apply these standards when effective. The adoption standards, amendments to
published standards and interpretations to existing standards do not have significant impact on the financial
statements of the Group and the Bank except for enhanced disclosure.

(B) CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank, subsidiaries and a jointly controlled
entity, made up to the end of the financial year.
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another
entity.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the
acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset
or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group applies predecessor accounting to account for business combinations under common control. Under the
predecessor accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are not restated to their respective fair values but at the carrying
amounts from the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate holding company of the Group and adjusted to
ensure uniform accounting policies of the Group. The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate
carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities (as of the date of the transaction) of the acquired entity is recorded as an
adjustment to retained earnings. No additional goodwill is recognised.
The acquired entity’s results, assets and liabilities are consolidated from the date on which the business combination
between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect
the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction occurred. The corresponding amounts for the
previous year are not restated.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is
recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income.
Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for
within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-
controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than
the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the
Group.

(B) CONSOLIDATION (continued)
(ii) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions
– that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in
equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(iii) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date
when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying
amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial
asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are
accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
(iv) Jointly controlled entities
Jointly controlled entities are corporations, partnerships or other entities over which there is contractually agreed
sharing of control by the Group with one or more parties where the strategic financial and operating decisions relating
to the entities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for in the financial statements by the equity method of
accounting. Equity accounting involves recognising the Group’s share of the post-acquisition results of jointly controlled
entities in profit or loss and its share of post-acquisition changes of the investee’s reserves in other comprehensive
income. The cumulative post-acquisition changes are adjusted against the cost of the investment and include goodwill
on acquisition (net of accumulated impairment loss).
Where necessary, adjustments have been made to the financial statements of jointly controlled entities to ensure
consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
(c) INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES
In the Bank’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities, the difference
between disposal proceeds and carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.
(D) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net
assets at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries are included in the statement of financial position as intangible assets. Goodwill is
tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the goodwill may
be impaired. The amount retained in the consolidated financial statements is stated at cost less accumulated impairment
losses. Impairment losses on goodwill (inclusive of impairment losses recognised in a previous interim period) are not
reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(D) INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
Goodwill (continued)
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (‘CGU’) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to
those CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which goodwill arose identified
according to operating segment.
Computer software
Acquired computer software are capitalised on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific
software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives (five years). Computer software classified as intangible
asset are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
(E) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-
generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at each reporting date.
The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged
to the revaluation surplus. Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it
reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus.
(F) RECOGNITION OF INTEREST AND FINANCING INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest and financing income and expense for all interest/profit-bearing financial instruments measured at amortised
cost and interest/ profit bearing financial assets as held-for-trading and available-for-sale are recognised within “interest
income”, “interest expense” and “net Islamic banking income” respectively in the income statement using the effective
interest/profit method.
The effective interest/profit method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability
and of allocating the interest and financing income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest/profit rate
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial
instruments or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest/profit rate, the Group and the Bank take into account all contractual terms of the
financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an
integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses.
Interest or income on impaired financial assets is recognised using the rate of interest/profit used to discount the future
cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to
be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred
after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

(G) RECOGNITION OF FEES AND OTHER INCOME
Fees and commissions are recognised as income when all conditions precedent are fulfilled. Commitment fees for loans,
advances and financing that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) and income which
forms an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument is recognised as an adjustment to the effective
interest/profit rate on the financial instrument.
Commitment fees and guarantee fees which are material are recognised as income based on a time apportionment
method.
Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(H) FINANCIAL ASSETS
All financial assets which include derivative financial instruments have to be recognised in the statement of financial position
and measured in accordance with their assigned category.
The Group and the Bank allocate financial assets to the following MFRS 139 categories:
Loans, advances and financing; financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial investments available-for-sale;
and financial investments held-to-maturity. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial
recognition.
Loans, advances and financing
Loans, advances and financing are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in active market.
Loans, advances and financing are initially recognised at fair value which is the cash consideration to originate or purchase
the loan including any transaction costs and measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method, less impairment allowance.
An uncollectible loan, advance and financing or portion of a loan, advance and financing classified as bad is written off
after taking into consideration the realisable value of collateral, if any, when in the judgment of the management, there is no
prospect of recovery.
At each reporting date, the Group and the Bank assess whether there is objective evidence that a loan or group of loans
is impaired. A loan or a group of loans is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan (a ‘loss event’) and that
loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan or group of loans that can be reliably
estimated.
The criteria that the Group and the Bank use to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include
among others:
• past due contractual payments;
• significant financial difficulties of borrower;
• probability of bankruptcy or other financial re-organisation; and
• default of related borrower.
The estimated period between a loss occurring and its identification for credit cards is six months and for all other loans
are twelve months.

(H) FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)
Loans, advances and financing (continued)
The Group and the Bank first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for loans that are not individually significant. If the Group and the
Bank determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed loan, whether significant
or not, it includes the loan in a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for
impairment. Loans that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be
recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. Loans that are individually assessed for impairment
and for which no impairment loss is required (over collateralised loans) are collectively assessed as a separate segment.
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loan’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the loan’s original effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the loan is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of
the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised loan reflects the cash flows that
may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, loans are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such loans by being indicative of the
borrowers’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loans being evaluated.
Future cash flows in a group of loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the
contractual cash flows of the loans in the Bank and historical loss experience for loans with credit risk characteristics
similar to those in the Bank. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the
effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove
the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exist.
Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of loans should reflect and be directionally consistent with changes
in related observable data from period to period (for example, changes in unemployment rates, property prices, payment
status, or other factors indicative of changes in the probability of losses in the Group and the Bank and their magnitude).
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group and the Bank
to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
Change in accounting policy
Previously, the Group and the Bank applied the Amendment to FRS 139 “Financial instruments: recognition and
measurement”, which included an additional transitional arrangement for financial sectors, whereby BNM may prescribed
the use of an alternative basis for collective assessment of impairments on loans, advances and financing. This transitional
arrangement is prescribed in BNM’s Guidelines on Classification and Impairment Provisions for Loans/Financing, whereby
banking institutions are required to maintain collective allowances of at least 1.5% of total outstanding loans/financing, net
of individual impairment allowances under the transitional provisions in the guidelines.
With effect from 1 January 2012, BNM has removed the transitional provision for banking institutions on collective
evaluation of loan impairment assessment and loan loss provisioning to comply with MFRS 139 requirements. Exposures
not individually known to be impaired are placed into pools of similar assets with similar risk characteristics to be collectively
assessed for losses that have been incurred but not identified yet. The required loan loss allowance is estimated on the
basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the collective pool. The
historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data.
There is no significant financial impact on the changes in accounting policy above.

Rescheduled and restructured loans
Where a loan shows evidence of credit weaknesses, the Group and the Bank may seek to renegotiate the loan rather
than to take possession of collateral. This may involve an extension of the payment arrangements via rescheduling or the
renegotiation of new loan terms and conditions via restructuring. Management monitors the renegotiated loan to ensure
that all the revised terms are met and that the repayments are made promptly for a continuous period. Where an impaired
loan is renegotiated, the borrower must adhere to the revised and/or restructured repayment terms for a continuous period
of six months before the loan is classified as non-impaired. These loans continue to be subjected to individual or collective
impairment assessment.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category comprises two sub-categories: financial assets classified as held-for-trading and financial assets designated
by the Group and the Bank as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and
for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held-
for-trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Derivatives are recognised in the statement of
financial position as ‘Derivative financial assets’ when their fair values are positive. Financial assets held-for-trading consist
of debt instruments, including money-market paper, traded corporate and bank loans, and equity instruments, as well as
financial assets with embedded derivatives. They are recognised in the statement of financial position as ‘Financial assets
held-for-trading’.
Financial instruments included in this category are recognised initially at fair value; transaction costs are taken directly to
the income statement. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Changes
in fair values including the effects of currency translation, interest and dividend income are recognised in the income
statement in the period in which the changes arise.
The Group and the Bank may designate certain financial assets upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or
loss (fair value option). This designation cannot subsequently be changed. The fair value option is only applied when the
following conditions are met:
• the application of the fair value option reduces or eliminates an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise; or
• the financial assets are part of a portfolio of financial instruments which is risk managed and reported to senior
management on a fair value basis; or
• the financial assets consists of debt host and an embedded derivatives that must be separated.
Financial assets for which the fair value option is applied are recognised in the statement of financial position as ‘Financial
assets designated at fair value’. Fair value changes relating to financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
are recognised in the income statement.
The Group and the Bank may choose to reclassify a non-derivative financial assets held-for-trading out of this category
where:
• in rare circumstances, it is no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term; or
• it is no longer held for purpose of trading, it would have met the definition of a loan and receivable on initial classification
and the Group and the Bank have the intention and ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

Financial investments available-for-sale
Financial investments available-for-sale are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not
classified as loans and receivables, held-for-trading or held-to-maturity investments.
Financial instruments available-for-sale are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently
measured at fair value.
Investments in equity instruments where there is no quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot
be reliably measured, will be stated at cost.
Any gains or losses arising from the change in fair value adjustments are recognised directly in statement of comprehensive
income except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses. When the financial asset is derecognised, the
cumulative gains or loss previously recognised in statement of comprehensive income shall be transferred to the income
statement.
A financial investments available-for-sale that would have met the definition of loans and receivables may only be transferred
from the available-for-sale classification where the Group and the Bank have the intention and the ability to hold the asset
for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
Impairment of financial investments available-for-sale is assessed when there is an objective evidence of impairment.
Cumulative unrealised losses that had been recognised directly in equity shall be removed and recognised in income
statement even though the securities have not been de-recognised. Impairment loss in addition to the above unrealised
losses is also recognised in the income statement. Subsequent reversal of impairment on debt instrument in the income
statement is allowed when the decrease in impairment can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment
was recognised.
In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
security below its cost is objective evidence of impairment resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. Impairment
losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments shall not be reversed.
Financial investments held-to-maturity
Financial investments held-to-maturity are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturity that the Group and the Bank have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Financial investments held-to-maturity are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial investments held-to-maturity are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or
losses are recognised in income statement when the securities are derecognised or impaired and through the amortisation
process.
If, as a result of a change in intention or ability, it is no longer appropriate to classify a financial investment as held-to-
maturity, the Group and the Bank shall reclassify the investment as available-for-sale and remeasured at fair value, and
the difference between its carrying amount and fair value shall be recognised in other comprehensive income, except for
impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

Financial investments held-to-maturity (continued)
Any sale or reclassification of a significant amount of financial investments held-to-maturity before maturity during the
current financial year or last two preceding financial years will “taint” the entire category and result in the remaining financial
investments held-to-maturity being reclassified to available-for-sale except for sales or reclassification that:
• are so close to maturity or call date that changes in the market rate of interest would not have significant effect on the
financial asset’s fair value; or
• occur after the Group and the Bank have collected substantially all of the financial asset’s original principal; or
• are attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the Group and the Bank’s control are non-recurring and could not
have been reasonably anticipated by the Group and the Bank.
Impairment of financial investments held-to-maturity is assessed when there is an objective evidence of impairment. The
impairment loss is measured as the difference between the financial investments’ carrying amount and the present value
of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial investments’ original effective interest rate. Subsequent reversal
of impairment is allowed in the event of an objective decrease in impairment. Recognition of impairment losses and its
reversal is made through the income statement.
Recognition
The Group and the Bank use settlement date accounting for regular way contracts when recording financial asset
transactions. Financial assets that are transferred to a third party but do not qualify for derecognition are presented in the
statement of financial position as ‘Assets pledged as collateral’, if the transferee has the right to sell or repledge them.
De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from these assets have ceased
to exist or the assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are also
transferred (that is, if substantially all the risks and rewards have not been transferred, the Group and the Bank tests control
to ensure that continuing involvement on the basis of any retained powers of control does not prevent de-recognition).
(I) FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
All financial liabilities which include derivative financial instruments have to be recognised in the statement of financial
position and measured in accordance with their assigned category.
The Group and the Bank’s holding in financial liabilities are in financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including
financial liabilities held-for-trading and those that designated at fair value) and financial liabilities at amortised cost. Financial
liabilities are de-recognised when extinguished.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
This category comprises two sub-categories: financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, and financial liabilities
designated by the Group and the Bank as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

(I) FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued)
A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and
for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held-
for-trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Derivatives are recognised in the statement of
financial position as ‘Derivative financial liabilities’ when their fair values are negative.
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified held-for-trading are included in the
income statement.
Other liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are measured at
amortised cost. All the financial liabilities except for derivative financial liabilities of the Group and the Bank are measured
at amortised cost.
De-recognition
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished.
(J) OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when there is
a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the
assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
(K) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life. Other property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line
basis to write off the cost of the assets or their revalued amounts, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives,
summarised as follows:
Buildings 50 years
Leasehold buildings 50 years or over the remaining lease period, whichever is shorter
Renovation and leasehold premises 5 years or the period of the lease, whichever is greater
Office equipment and furniture 10 years
Computer equipment and software 5 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Depreciation on capital work in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

(K) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION (continued)
Residual value and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications exist, an
analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable. A write down is made if the
carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Any subsequent increase in the recoverable amount is recognised in the
income statement (refer to accounting policy E on impairment of non-financial assets).
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised within other
operating income in the income statement.
(L) LEASES
Accounting by lessee
Finance leases
Leases of property and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the
leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a periodic constant rate on the
finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The
interest element of the finance charge is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property and equipment acquired under
finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging finance leases are added to the carrying amount of the
leased assets and recognised as an expense in income statement over the lease term on the same basis as the lease expense.
Operating leases
Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified
as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to
the income statement on the straight-line basis over the lease period.
Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised in income statement
when incurred.
Accounting by lessor
Finance leases
When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable.
The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance
income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method so as to reflect a constant
periodic rate of return.
Operating leases
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the statement of financial position based on
the nature of the asset. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

(M) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Group and the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchanges rate prevailing at the dates
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised
in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment
hedges.
Changes in the fair value of monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are
analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the financial asset and other
changes in the carrying amount of the financial asset. Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost
are recognised in income statement, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive
income.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit and
loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as
equities classified as available-for-sale are included in the fair value reserve in other comprehensive income.
(N) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair values on the date on which derivative contracts are entered into and are
subsequently remeasured at their fair values. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets,
including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and option pricing
models, as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair values are positive and as liabilities when fair values
are negative.
The best evidence of fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e the fair value of the consideration
given or received) unless fair value of the instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market
transactions in the same instrument (i.e without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose
variables include only data from observable markets.
The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a
hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: (1)
hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedge); or (2) hedges of highly
probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability, or a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge).
Hedge accounting is used for designated derivatives in this way provided certain criterias are met.
The Group documents, at the inception of the transaction, the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also
documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and an on-going basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in
hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

(N) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING (continued)

Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income
statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged
risk.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for
which the effective interest method is used, is amortised to income statement over the period to maturity. The adjustment
to the carrying amount of a hedged equity security remains in retained earnings until the disposal of the equity security.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are
recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain and loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately
in the income statement.
Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are recycled to the income statement in the periods in which the
hedged item will affect income statement (for example, when the forecast sale that is hedged take place).
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any
cumulative gain or loss existing at that time remains in other comprehensive income and is recognised when the forecast
transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur,
the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income
statement.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument
that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Gains and losses on interest rate swaps, futures, forward and option contracts that qualify as hedges are deferred and
amortised over the life of hedged assets or liabilities as adjustments to interest income or interest expense. Gains and
losses on interest rate swaps, futures, forward and option contracts that do not qualify as hedges are recognised in the
current financial year using the mark-to-market method and are included in the income statement.
(O) CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Current tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in income statement, except to the
extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period where the Group’s subsidiaries and branch operate and generate taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation
is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the
tax authorities. This liability is measured using the single best estimate of the most likely outcome.

(O) CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES (continued)

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed
to assets and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax is not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of
the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax assets is realised or the deferred tax liability is
settled.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entity
except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Group and it is possible that
the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred and income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same
taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances
on net basis.
(P) ZAKAT
Zakat represents business zakat payable by the Group to comply with the principles of Shariah and as approved by the
Shariah Committee. The Bank’s subsidiary, AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad only pays zakat on its business and does not pay
zakat on behalf of depositors. Zakat provision is calculated based on 2.5775% of the net asset method.
(Q) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand, bank balances and deposits and placements maturing within one
month which are held for the purpose of meeting short term commitments and are readily convertible to cash without
significant risk of changes in value.
(R) FORECLOSED PROPERTIES
Foreclosed properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(S) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
The Group and the Bank do not recognise a contingent liability but disclose its existence in the financial statements. A
contingent liability is possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the Bank or a present
obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare case where there is a liability that cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably. However, contingent liabilities do not include financial guarantee contracts.

(S) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS (continued)
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the Bank. The Group and the
Bank does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable,
but not virtually certain.
(T) BILLS AND ACCEPTANCES PAYABLE
Bills and acceptances payable represent the Bank’s own bills and acceptances rediscounted and outstanding in the
market.
(U) OTHER PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised by the Group and the Bank when all of the following conditions have been met:
• the Group and the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;
• it is probable that an outflow of resources to settle the obligation will be required; and
• a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made.
Where the Group and the Bank expect a provision to be reimbursed (for example, under an insurance contract), the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not
recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined
by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect
to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as finance cost expense.
(V) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which
the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
Defined contribution plan
The defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to the National Pension
Scheme, the Employees’ Provident Fund (‘EPF’) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions
if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior
periods.
The Group’s contribution to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they
relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.

(V) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or
whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination
benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a
detailed formal plan without any possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to
encourage voluntary redundancy.
(W) FINANCIAL GUARANTEE CONTRACTS
Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the Group or Bank to make specified payments to reimburse the
holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of
a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to
secure loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The fair value of a
financial guarantee at the time of signature is zero because all guarantees are agreed on arm’s length terms and the value
of the premium agreed corresponds to the value of the guarantee obligation. No receivable for the future premiums is
recognised.
The liability is subsequently recognised at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with MFRS 137 “Provisions,
contingent liabilities and contingent assets” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where
appropriate.
The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the
contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the
estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations.
Where financial guarantees in relation to loans or payables of subsidiaries are provided by the Group for no compensation,
the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of investment in subsidiaries.
(X) SALE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Securities purchased under resale agreements are securities which the Group and the Bank have purchased with a
commitment to resell at future dates. The commitment to resell the securities is reflected as an asset on the statements of
financial position.
Conversely, obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements are securities which the Group and the Bank have
sold from its portfolio, with a commitment to repurchase at future dates. Such financing and the obligation to repurchase
the securities is reflected as a liability on the statement of financial position.
The difference between sale and repurchase price as well as purchase and resale price are amortised as interest income
and interest expense respectively on an effective yield method.

(Y) Profit equalisation reserve (‘PER’)
Bank Negara Malaysia has issued its revised Guidelines on Profit Equalisation Reserve (‘PER’) and the implementation date
of the guidelines take effect for financial year beginning 1 July 2011.
Beginning of the financial period, Affin Islamic Bank Berhad (‘AFFIN Islamic’) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank has
adopted the revised Guidelines on PER and has apply in managing the Displaced Commercial Risk (‘DCR’) in accordance
with Shariah principles. The PER is for Mudharabah accounts.
With these revised PER Guidelines, the release of PER shall be appropriated from both Investment Account Holder (‘IAH’)
and AFFIN Islamic’s portion based on the contractual profit sharing ratio at the point of utilisation. The amount of PER shall
be limited to the maximum of the either PER of the IAH or AFFIN Islamic depending on prevailing profit sharing ratio.
The IAH portion of the existing PER shall be classified as a liability and is recognised at cost. Subsequent apportionments
will be recognised in the income statement. The eventual distribution of PER as profit distributable to the IAH will be treated
as an outflow of funds due to the settlement of the obligation to the IAH.
The PER of the AFFIN Islamic shall be classified as a separate reserve in equity and subsequent apportionments from and
distributions to retained earnings will be treated as a transfer between reserves.
The change in accounting policy is accounted for prospectively and there is no financial impact to the result of the Group.

Goodwill
The carrying amount of the Bank’s goodwill has been allocated to the following business segments, which represent the Bank’s
cash-generating units (‘CGUs’):

Consumer banking 13,732 13,732 13,732
137,323 137,323 137,323
Goodwill is allocated to the Bank’s CGU which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisitions. For annual impairment
testing purposes, the recoverable amount of the CGUs are determined based on value-in-use calculations using the cash flow
projections based on the 2013 financial budgets approved by the Directors, covering a period of 5 years based on the historical
Gross Domestic Product (‘GDP’) growth rate of Malaysia, revised for current economic conditions. The cash flow beyond the fifth
year are projected based on the assumption that the Year 5 operating cash flow will be generated by the respective CGUs at a
growth rate of 5% (2011: 5%, 2010: 5%) on perpetual basis.
The cash flow projections are derived based on a number of key factors including past performance and management’s
expectations of the market developments. The discount rates used are based on the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital plus
an appropriate risk premium where applicable (‘WACC’), at the date of assessment of the CGUs.

No impairment charge was required for goodwill arising from all the business segments. Management views that any reasonable
possible change to the assumptions applied is not likely to cause the recoverable amount of all the business segments to be lower
than its carrying amount.

38 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of the customer or counterparty to settle the financial and
contractual obligations to the Bank. Credit risk emanates mainly from loans, advances and financing, loan commitments
arising from such lending activities, as well as through financial transactions with counterparties including interbank money
market activities, derivative instruments used for hedging and debt securities.
The management of credit risk in the Bank is governed by a set of approved credit policies, guidelines and procedures.
Approval authorities are delegated to Senior Management and Group Management Loan Committee (‘GMLC’) to implement
the credit policies and ensure sound credit granting standards.
An independent Group Risk Management (‘GRM’) function, headed by Group Chief Risk Officer (‘GCRO’), with direct reporting
line to Board Risk Management Committee (‘BRMC’) is in place to ensure adherence to risk standards and discipline. Portfolio
management risk reports are submitted regularly to BRMC.
Lending guidelines and credit strategies are formulated and incorporated in the Annual Credit Plan. New businesses are
governed by the risk acceptance criteria and customer qualifying criteria/fitness standards prescribed in the Annual Credit
Plan. The Annual Credit Plan is reviewed at least annually and approved by the BRMC.

38 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(i) Credit risk (continued)

Credit risk measurement
Credit evaluation is the process of analysing the creditworthiness of the prospective customer against the Bank’s underwriting
criteria and the ability of the Bank to make a return commensurate to the level of risk undertaken. A critical element in the
evaluation process is the assignment of a credit risk grade to the counterparty. This assists in the risk assessment and
decision making process. The Bank has developed internal rating models to support the assessment and quantification of
credit risk.
For consumer mass market products, statistically developed application scorecards are used by the Business to assess the
risks associated with the credit application. The scorecards are used as a decision support tool at loan origination.
Over-the-Counter (‘OTC’) Derivatives
The OTC Derivatives credit exposure is computed using the Current Exposure Method. Under the Current Exposure method,
computation of credit equivalent exposure for interest rate and exchange rate related contracts is derived from the summation
of the two elements; the replacement costs (obtained by marking-to-market) of all contracts and the potential future exposure
of outstanding contracts (Add On charges depending on the specific remaining tenor to maturity).
Risk limit control and mitigation policies
The Bank employs various policies and practices to control and mitigate credit risk.
Lending limits
The Bank establishes internal limits and related lending guidelines to manage large exposures and avoid undue concentration
of credit risk in its credit portfolio. The limits include single customer groupings, connected parties, and geographical and
industry segments. These risks are monitored regularly and the limits reviewed annually or sooner depending on changing
market and economic conditions.
The credit risk exposure for derivative and loan books is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers together
with potential exposure from market movements.
Collateral
Credits are established against borrower’s capacity to repay rather than rely solely on security. However, collateral may be
taken to mitigate credit risk. The main collateral types accepted and given value by the Bank are:
- mortgage over residential properties;

- charges over commercial real estate or vehicles financed;
- charges over business assets such as business premises, inventory and accounts receivable; and
- charges over financial instruments such as marketable equities.
Documentary and commercial letters of credit are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate
and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.


Risk limit control and mitigation policies (continued)
Credit related commitments
Commitment to extend credit represents unutilised portion of approved credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of
credit. In terms of credit risk, the Bank is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unutilised commitments.
However, the potential amount of loss is less than the total unutilised commitments, as most commitments to extend credit
are contingent upon customers maintaining specific minimum credit standards.
The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater
degree of credit risk than short-term commitments.
Credit risk monitoring
Retail credits are actively monitored and managed on a portfolio basis by product type. A new collection management system
has been implemented with a dedicated team in place to promptly identify, monitor and manage delinquent accounts at early
stages of delinquency.
Corporate credits and large individual accounts are reviewed by the Business Units at least once a year against updated
information. This is to ensure that the credit grades remain appropriate and detect any signs of weaknesses or deterioration
in the credit quality. Remedial action is taken where evidence of deterioration exists.
Early Alert Process is in place as part of a means to pro-actively identify, report and manage deteriorating credit quality.
Watchlist accounts are closely reviewed and monitored with corrective measures initiated to prevent them from turning
impaired. As a rule, watchlist accounts are either worked up or worked out within a period of twelve months.
Credit risk culture

The Bank recognises that learning is a continuous journey and is committed to enhance the knowledge and required skills set
of its staff. It places strong emphasis in creating and enhancing risk awareness in the organisation.
For effective and efficient staff learning, the Bank has implemented an E–Learning Program with an online Learning Management
System (‘LMS’). The LMS provides staff with a progressive self-learning alternative at own pace.
Group Risk Management implements an Internal Credit Certification (‘ICC’) Programme for both Business Banking and
Consumer Credit.
The aim of the ICCs is to assist the core credit related group of personnel in the Bank achieve a minimum level of knowledge
and analytical skills required to make sound corporate and commercial loans to customers.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the statement of financial position, the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount.
For financial guarantees granted, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount that the Group and the
Bank would have to pay if guarantee were to be called upon. For loan commitments and other commitments, the maximum
exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the undrawn credit facilities granted to customers.
All financial assets of the Group and the Bank are subject to credit risk except for cash in hand, equity securities held as
financial assets held-for-trading or financial investments available-for-sale, as well as non-financial assets.

Whilst the Group and the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of the assets, or in the case of off-
balance sheet items, the amount guaranteed, committed or accepted, in most cases the likely exposure is far less due to
collateral, credit enhancements and other actions taken to mitigate the credit exposure.
The financial effect of collateral held for loans, advances and financing of the Group and the Bank are 68% (31.12.2011:
63%, 1.1.2011: 59%) and 66% (31.12.2011: 62%, 1.1.2011: 58%) respectively. The financial effects of collateral for the other
financial assets are insignificant.

Credit risk concentrations
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss from the failure of customers to meet their obligations. Exposure to credit risk is managed through portfolio management. The
credit portfolio’s risk profiles and exposures are reviewed and monitored regularly to ensure that an acceptable level of risk diversification is maintained. Exposure
to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining collateral security and corporate and personal guarantees.
The credit risk concentrations of the Group and the Bank, by industry concentration, are set out in the following tables:

(ii) Market risk

Market risk is defined as the risk of losses to the Bank’s portfolio positions arising from movements in market factors such
as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and changes in volatility. The Bank is exposed to market risks from its trading and
investment activities. The Bank’s market risk management objective is to ensure that market risk is appropriately identified,
measured, controlled, managed and reported.
The Bank’s exposure to market risk stems primarily from interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk. Interest rate risk
arises mainly from differences in timing between the maturities or repricing of assets, liabilities and derivatives. The Bank is
also exposed to basis risk when there is a mismatch between the change in price of a hedge and the change in price of the
assets it hedges. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from unhedged positions of customers’ requirements and proprietary
positions.
The Bank’s market risk management control strategy is established based on its risk appetite, market liquidity and business
strategies as well as macroeconomic conditions. These limits are reviewed at least on an annual basis.
Market risk arising from the Bank’s trading book is primarily controlled through the imposition of Cut-loss and Value-at-Risk
(‘VaR’) Limits.
The Bank quantifies interest rate risk by analysing the repricing mismatch between the rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities. It also conducts Net Interest Income simulations to assess the variation in earnings under various rates scenarios.
The potential long term effects of the Bank’s overall exposure is also tracked by assessing the impact on economic value of
equity (‘EVE’).
The Bank’s interest rate risk is managed through Earnings-at-Risk (‘EaR’) and Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’) limits.
In addition, the Bank conducts periodic stress test of its respective business portfolios to ascertain market risk under abnormal
market conditions.
The Bank’s Management, ALCO and BRMC are regularly kept informed of its risk profile and positions.

(ii) Market risk (continued)

Value at risk (‘VaR’)
Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) is used to compute the maximum potential loss amount over a specified holding period of a trading
portfolio. It measures the risk of losses arising from potential adverse movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates
that could affect values of financial instruments.
The Variance-Covariance Parametric methodology is adopted to compute the potential loss amount. This is a statistically
defined, probability-based approach that uses volatilities and correlations to quantify price risks. Under this methodology,
a matrix of historical volatilities and correlations is computed from the past 100 business days’ market data. VaR is then
computed by applying these volatilities and correlations to the outstanding trading portfolio.
The table below sets out a summary of the Bank’s VaR profile by financial instrument types for the trading portfolio:

Other risk measures
• Mark-to-market
Mark-to-market valuation tracks the current market value of the outstanding financial instruments.
• Stress testing
Stress tests are conducted to attempt to quantify market risk arising from low probability, abnormal market movements.
Stress tests measure the changes in values arising from extreme movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates
based on past experience and simulated stress scenarios.
• Sensitivity/Dollar Duration
Sensitivity/Dollar Duration measures the change in value of a portfolio resulting from a 0.01% increase in interest rates.
This measure identifies the Bank’s interest rate exposures that are most vulnerable to interest rate changes and facilitates
the implementation of hedging strategies.
Net interest income sensitivity
The table below shows the pre-tax net interest income sensitivity for the financial assets and financial liabilities held at
reporting date. The sensitivity has been measured using the Repricing Gap Simulation methodology based on 100 basis
points parallel shifts in the interest rate.

Interest/profit rate risk
Sensitivity to interest rates arises from mismatches in the interest rate characteristics of the assets and their corresponding
liability funding. One of the major causes of these mismatches is timing differences in the repricing of the assets and liabilities.
These mismatches are actively managed as part of the overall interest rate risk management process which is conducted in
accordance with Group policy guidelines.
The following table represents the Group’s and the Bank’s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier
of contractual repricing or maturity dates as at reporting date.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from a bank’s inability to meet its obligations
when they fall due. Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage sudden decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity
risk also arises from the failure to recognise changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and
with minimal loss in value.
To measure and manage net funding requirements, the Bank adopts BNM’s New Liquidity Framework (‘NLF’). The NLF
ascertains the liquidity condition based on the contractual and behavioral cash-flow of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
commitments, taking into consideration the realisable cash value of the eligible liquefiable assets. The NLF is also supported
by indicative ratios on the Bank’s funding structure to monitor the reliance on particular funding sources.
The Bank employs liquidity risk indicators as an early alert of any structural change for liquidity risk management. Liquidity risk
is tracked using internal and external qualitative and quantitative indicators. The Bank also conducts liquidity stress tests to
gauge the Bank’s resilience in the event of a liquidity crisis. In addition, the Bank has in place the Contingency Funding Plan,
which provides a systematic approach in handling liquidity disruption. The document encompasses strategies, decision-
making authorities, and courses of action to be taken in the event of liquidity crisis and emergencies.
The BRMC is responsible for the Bank’s liquidity policy although the strategic management of liquidity has been delegated to
the ALCO. The BRMC is informed regularly of the liquidity situation in the Bank.

(iv) Operational risk management

Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, action on or by people, infrastructure
or technology or events which are beyond the bank’s immediate control which have an operational impact, including natural
disaster, fraudulent activities and money laundering/financing of terrorism.
The Bank manages operational risk through a control based environment in which policies and procedures are formulated after
taking into account individual unit’s business activities, the market in which it is operating and regulatory requirement in force.
The Bank adopts the Basic Indicator Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for operational risk. The
capital requirement is calculated by taking 15% of Bank’s average annual gross income over the previous three years.
Risk is identified through the use of assessment tools and measured using threshold/limits mapped against risk matrix. Monitoring
and control procedures include the use of key control standards, independent tracking of risk, back-up procedures and
contingency plans, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans. This is supported by periodic reviews undertaken
by Group Internal Audit to ensure adequacy and effectiveness of the Group Operational Risk Management process.
The Bank gathers, analyses and reports operational risk loss and ‘near miss’ events to Group Operational Risk Management
Committee and Board Risk Management Committee. Appropriate remedial actions are reviewed for effectiveness and
implemented to minimize the recurrence of such events.
As a matter of requirement, all Operational Risk Coordinators must satisfy an internal operational risk (including anti-money
laundering/counter financing of terrorism and business continuity management) Certification Program. These coordinators will
first go through an on-line self learning exercise before attempting on-line assessments to measure their skills and knowledge level.
This will enable Group Risk Management to prescribe appropriate training and development activities for the coordinators.
(v) Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments comprise financial assets, financial liabilities and also off balance sheet financial instruments. The fair value
of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable and
willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The information presented herein represents estimates of fair values as at reporting
date.
Quoted market prices, when available, are used as the measure of fair values. For financial instruments, without quoted market
prices, fair values are estimated using net present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques involve a certain degree
of uncertainty depending on the assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial
instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in these
assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the resulting fair value.
Fair value information for non-financial assets and liabilities are excluded as they do not fall within the scope of MFRS 132 which
requires fair values to be disclosed. This includes property and equipment, statutory deposits with Bank Negara Malaysia,
investment in subsidiaries, other assets, tax recoverable, deferred tax and intangible assets.

The derivative financial instruments become favorable (assets) or unfavorable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuation in market
interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. The extent to which instruments are favorable or unfavorable and
the aggregate fair values of derivative financial assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly from time to time.
The fair value estimates were determined by application of the methodologies and assumptions described below.
Short-term funds and placements with banks and other financial institutions
For short-term funds and placements with banks and other financial institutions with maturity of less than six months, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
For amounts with maturities of six months or more, fair values have been estimated by reference to current rates at which similar
deposits and placements would be made to banks with similar credit ratings and maturities.
Financial assets held-for-trading, financial investments available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
The fair values of financial assets held-for-trading, financial investments available-for-sale and financial investments held-to-
maturity are reasonable estimates based on quoted market prices. In the absence of such quoted prices, the fair values are
based on the expected cash flows of the instruments discounted by indicative market yields for the similar instruments as at
reporting date or the audited net tangible asset of the invested company.
Loans, advances and financing of the Group comprise of floating rate loans and fixed rate loans. For performing floating rate
loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair values.
The fair values of performing fixed rate loans are arrived at using the discounted cash flows based on the prevailing market rates
of loans and advances with similar credit ratings and maturities.
The fair values of impaired loans and advances, whether fixed or floating are represented by their carrying values, net of individual
and collective allowances, being the reasonable estimate of recoverable amount.
Other assets and liabilities
The carrying value less any estimated allowance for financial assets and liabilities included in other assets and other liabilities are
assumed to approximate their fair values as these items are not materially sensitive to the shift in market interest rates.


Deposits from customers, banks and other financial institutions, bills and acceptances payable
The carrying values of deposits and liabilities with maturities of six months or less are assumed to be reasonable estimates of
their fair values. Where the remaining maturities of deposits and liabilities are above six months, their estimated fair values are
arrived at using the discounted cash flows based on prevailing market rates currently offered for similar remaining maturities.
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which include non-interest bearing deposits, approximates carrying
amount which represents the amount repayable on demand.
Recourse obligation on loans sold to Cagamas Berhad
For floating rate loans sold to Cagamas Berhad, the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of their fair values.
The fair values of fixed rate loans sold to Cagamas Berhad are arrived at using the discounted cash flow methodology at
prevailing market rates of similarly profiled loans.
Subordinated term loan
For fixed rate borrowings, the estimate of fair value is based on discounted cash flow model using prevailing lending rates for
borrowings with similar risks and remaining term to maturity.
For floating rate borrowings, the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of their fair values.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of exchange rate and interest rate contracts is the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay to terminate
the contracts at the reporting date.
Fair value measurements
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value and classified by level of the following fair value
measurement hierarchy:
(a) Level 1 - quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
(b) Level 2 - inputs other than quoted price included within level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.derived from prices); and
(c) Level 3 - inputs for the asset and liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instruments that are valued using quoted prices in active market are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
These would include listed equities which are actively traded.
Where fair value is determined using quoted prices in less active markets or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, such
instruments are generally classified as Level 2. In cases where quoted prices are generally not available, the Group and the Bank
then determine fair value based upon valuation techniques that use as inputs, market parameters including but not limited to
yield curves, volatilities and foreign exchange rates. The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data
and so reliability of the fair value measurement is high. These would include corporate private debt securities, corporate notes
and most of the Group’s OTC derivatives.
The Group and the Bank classify financial instruments as Level 3 when there is reliance on unobservable inputs to the valuation
model attributing to a significant contribution to the instrument value. Valuation reserves or pricing adjustments where applicable
will be used to converge to fair value.
The Group and the Bank may also use valuation models or discounted cash flow technique to determine the fair value.
Most of the OTC derivatives are priced using valuation models. Where derivative products have been established in the markets
for some time, the Group and the Bank use models that are widely accepted by the industry.
The valuation techniques and inputs used generally depend on the contractual terms and the risks inherent in the instrument as
well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Principal techniques used include discounted cash flows, and other
appropriate valuation models. OTC derivatives which are valued using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no
market activity which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities are classified as Level 3.
The following table present the changes in Level 3 instruments for the financial year ended:

Effect of changes in significant unobservable assumptions to reasonably possible alternatives
As at reporting date, financial instruments measured with valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
mainly include unquoted shares held for socio economic purposes.
In estimating its significance, the Group and the Bank used an approach that is currently based on methodologies used for fair
value adjustments. These adjustments reflects the values that the Group and the Bank estimate are appropriate to adjust from
the valuations produced to reflect for uncertainties in the inputs used. The methodologies used can be a statistical or other
relevant approved techniques.

The Group and the Bank implemented the Basel II - Risk-Weighted Assets Computation under the Risk-Weighted Capital Adequacy
Framework with effect from 1 January 2008. The Group and the Bank have adopted the Standardised Approach for credit risk and
market risk and Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk computation.
Pursuant to Bank Negara Malaysia’s circular, ‘Recognition of Deferred Tax Asset (‘DTA’) and Treatment of DTA for RWCR Purposes’
dated 8 August 2003, deferred tax income/(expenses) is excluded from the calculation of Tier I capital and DTA is excluded from the
calculation of risk-weighted assets.

43 LITIGATIONS AGAINST THE BANK
(a) A syndicate of lenders, including AFFIN Bank Berhad (the ‘Bank’), had granted facilities of RM62.5 million (the ‘Facilities’) to
a borrower to, inter alia, finance a development project. At borrower’s request, the Facilities were restructured in 1999 but in
July 2000, continued drawdown under the restructured Facilities was refused as borrower had failed to comply with conditions
precedent for such drawdown. The lenders and borrower negotiated to resolve the default and the Facilities were restructured
again in 2003. Further financing was also granted in 2004 and the Project was completed with certificate of fitness in January
2005.
Subsequent to the completion of the project, borrower brought a claim against the lead banker, as the agent of the syndicate
lenders, for loss and damage arising from alleged breach of duty and obligations owed by the lead banker to the borrower in
relation to various actions taken or omitted to be taken in disbursements and transactions under the Facilities. The lead banker
filed an action against the borrower and its guarantor of the Facilities, for recovery of the amounts outstanding under the
Facilities.
The 2 actions were consolidated and heard together at full trial. On 6 May 2009, the High Court granted judgment in favour of
borrower against the lead banker, as an agent of the lenders, and dismissed the lenders’ action for recovery of the Facilities.
The judgment against the lead banker included a sum of RM115.5 million to be paid, as well as further damages to be assessed
and an immediate release of all security granted by the borrower and its guarantors for the Facilities. The award of damages of
RM115.5 million was made despite parties’ agreement that the trial proceed only on issue of liability and no evidence of damage/
loss was produced. If the judgment of 6 May 2009 is maintained, lead banker will seek contribution from the lenders, including
the Bank. The Bank’s share is about RM34.65 million.
The lead banker and agent appealed to the Court of Appeal against the High Court decision. An effort at mediation on 9 March
2012 failed as the parties could not come to a settlement. Hearing dates were then fixed for the appeal. The appeal has been
argued twice before the Court of Appeal i.e. on 3 August 2012 and 9 November 2012. The hearing was continued on 23 January
2013 and 31 January 2013 and the Court of Appeal reserved its decision to a date to be fixed later.
The solicitors for the lead banker and the lenders have expressed the view that the lead banker and the lenders have a more than
even chance of success in their appeal against the Judgment.
(b) Other than above, there are various legal suits against the Bank in respect of claims and counter claims of approximately RM73.8
million (31.12.2011: RM42.8 million). Based on legal advice, the Directors are of the opinion that no provision for damages need
to be made in the financial statements, as the probability of adverse adjudication against the Bank is remote.
44 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Group and the Bank make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain variables that are anticipated to
have material impact to the Group’s and the Bank’s results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying
parameters. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Allowance for losses on loans, advances and financing
The accounting estimates and judgments related to the impairment of loans and provision for off-balance sheet positions is a critical
accounting estimate for because the underlying assumptions used for both the individually and collectively assessed impairment can
change from period to period and may significantly affect the Group and the Bank’s results of operations.

44 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
Allowance for losses on loans, advances and financing (continued)
In assessing assets for impairment, management judgment is required. The determination of the impairment allowance required
for loans which are deemed to be individually significant often requires the use of considerable management judgment concerning
such matters as local economic conditions, the financial performance of the counterparty and the value of any collateral held, for
which there may not be a readily accessible market. The actual amount of the future cash flows and their timing may differ from the
estimates used by management and consequently may cause actual losses to differ from the reported allowances.
The impairment allowance for portfolios of smaller-balance homogenous loans, such as those to individuals and small business
customers of the private and retail business, and for those loans which are individually significant but for which no objective evidence
of impairment exists, is determined on a collective basis. The collective impairment allowance is calculated on a portfolio basis using
statistical models which incorporate numerous estimates and judgments, and therefore is subject to estimation uncertainty. The
Group and the Bank perform a regular review of the models and underlying data and assumptions as far as possible to reflect the
current economic circumstances. The probability of default, loss given defaults, and loss identification period, amongst other things,
are all taken into account during this review.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group performs an impairment review on an annual basis to ensure that the carrying value of the goodwill does not exceed its
recoverable amounts from cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amount represents the present
value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing operations. Therefore, in arriving at the recoverable
amount, management exercise judgment in estimating the future cash flows, growth rate and discount rate.
45 CREDIT EXPOSURES ARISING FROM TRANSACTIONS WITH CONNECTED PARTIES
The following credit exposures are based on Bank Negara Malaysia’s revised Guidelines on Credit Transaction and Exposures with
Connected Parties, which are effective 1 January 2008.
(i) The aggregate value of outstanding credit exposures with connected parties (RM’000) 3,414,505
(ii) The percentage of outstanding credit exposures to connected parties as a proportion of total credit exposures 8%
(iii) The percentage of outstanding credit exposures with connected parties which is impaired or in default Nil

preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

BASEL II
PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES for the financial year ended 31 December 2012
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
AFFIN Bank Berhad ('ABB') adopted Basel II in January 2008 in line with the directive from Bank Negara Malaysia
('BNM'). The Basel II framework is structured around three fundamental Pillars.
- Pillar 1 defines the minimum capital requirement to ensure that financial institutions hold sufficient capital to cover
their exposure to credit, market and operational risks.
- Pillar 2 requires financial institutions to have a process for assessing their overall capital adequacy in relation to
their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital levels.
- Pillar 3 requires financial institutions to establish and implement an appropriate disclosure policy that promotes
transparency regarding their risk management practices and capital adequacy positions.
ABB elected to adopt the following approaches under Pillar 1 requirements:
- Standardised Approach for Credit Risk

- Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk
- Standardised Approach for Market Risk
1.2 Scope of Application
This document contains the disclosure requirements under Pillar 3 for ABB for the year ended 31 December 2012.
The disclosures are made in line with the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements under the Basel II framework as laid out by
BNM.
The disclosures should be read in conjunction with ABB’s 2012 Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2012.
The Group’s capital requirements are generally based on the principles of consolidation adopted in the preparation
of its financial statements. The Group’s consolidated entities comprises the Bank and the Bank’s subsidiary, AFFIN
Islamic Bank Berhad.
2 Risk Governance Structure
2.1 Overview
The Board of Directors of ABB is ultimately responsible for the overall performance of ABB. The Board’s responsibilities
remain within the framework of BNM Guidelines. The Board also exercises great care to ensure that high ethical
standards are upheld, and that the interests of stakeholders are not compromised. These include responsibility for
determining ABB’s general policies and strategies for the short, medium and long term, approving business plans,
including targets and budgets, and approving major strategic decisions.
The Board has overall responsibility for maintaining the proper management and protection of ABB’s interests by
ensuring effective implementation of the risk management policy and process, as well as adherence to a sound system
of internal control, and by seeking regular assurance on their effectiveness. The Board also recognises that risks
cannot be eliminated completely. As such, the inherent system of internal control is designed to provide a reasonable
though not absolute assurance against the risk of material errors, fraud or losses occurring. The system of internal
controls encompasses controls relating to financial, operational, risk management and compliance with applicable
laws, regulations, policies and guidelines.

2.1 Overview (continued)
The terms of reference of the Board Committees as disclosed in the Annual Report provide an outline of its role and
functions. In carrying out its functions, the Board has delegated specific responsibilities to other Board Committees,

the various Committees report on the outcome of their Committee meetings to the Board and any further deliberation
is made at Board level, if required. These reports and deliberations are incorporated into the Minutes of the Board
meetings. The Board meets on a monthly basis.

3 Capital
3.2 Capital Adequacy
The Group’s has in place an internal limit for its CCR and RWCR, which is guided by the need to maintain a prudent
relationship between available capital and the risks of its underlying businesses. The capital management process is
monitored by managements through periodic reviews.
Refer to Appendix I.
4 Risk Management Objectives and Policies
ABB is principally engaged in all aspects of banking and related financial services. The principal activities of ABB’s
subsidiaries are Islamic banking business, property management services, nominee and trustee services. There have been
no significant changes in these principal activities during the financial year.
ABB’s business activities involve the analysis, measurement, acceptance, and management of risks but it operates within
well defined risk acceptance criteria covering customer segments, industries and products. ABB does not enter into risk it
cannot administer, book, monitor or value, or deal with persons of questionable integrity.
ABB’s risk management policies are established to identify all the key risks, assess and measure these risks, control and
mitigate these risks, and manage and monitor the risk positions.
ABB regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and best practice
in risk management processes. ABB’s aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimise any
potential adverse effects.
The key business risks to which ABB is exposed are credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk.
5 Credit Risk
5.1 Credit Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of the customer or counterparty to settle the financial
and contractual obligations to ABB. Credit risk emanates mainly from loans and advances, loan commitments arising
from such lending activities, as well as through financial transactions with counterparties including interbank money
market activities, derivative instruments used for hedging and debt securities.
The management of credit risk in ABB is governed by a set of approved credit policies, guidelines and procedures.
Approval authorities are delegated to Senior Management and GMLC to implement the credit policies and ensure
sound credit granting standards.
An independent GRM function, headed by Group Chief Risk Officer (‘GCRO’) with direct reporting line to BRMC is in
place to ensure adherence to risk standards and discipline.
Lending guidelines and credit strategies are formulated and incorporated in the Annual Credit Plan. New businesses
are governed by the risk acceptance criteria and customer qualifying criteria/fitness standards prescribed in the Annual
Credit Plan. The Annual Credit Plan is reviewed at least annually and approved by the BRMC.

5 Credit Risk
5.2 Application of Standardised Approach to Credit Risk
ABB uses the following ECAIs to determine the risk weights for the rated credit exposures:-
• RAM Rating Services Berhad

• Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad
• Standard & Poor’s Rating Services
• Moody’s Investors Service
• Fitch Ratings
The external ratings of the ECAIs are used to determine the risk weights of the following types of exposure: sovereigns,
banks, public sector entities and corporates.
The mapping of the rating categories of different ECAIs to the risk weights is in accordance with the guidelines provided
by BNM. In cases where there is no issuer or issue rating, the exposures are treated as unrated and accorded a risk
weight appropriate for unrated exposure in the respective category.
The external ratings are updated in the core banking system, and extracted and matched by the risk system according
to the above rules to determine the appropriate risk weights.
Refer to Appendix II and Appendices III (i) to III (ii).
5.3 Credit Risk Measurement
Credit evaluation is the process of analysing the creditworthiness of the prospective customer against ABB’s
underwriting criteria and the ability of ABB to make a return commensurate to the level of risk undertaken. A critical
element in the evaluation process is the assignment of a credit risk grade to the counterparty. This assists in the risk
assessment and decision making process. ABB has developed internal rating models to support the assessment and
quantification of credit risk.
For consumer mass market products, statistically developed application scorecards are used by the Business to
assess the risks associated with the credit application. The scorecards are used as a decision support tool at loan
origination.
Over-the-Counter (‘OTC’) Derivatives
The OTC Derivatives credit exposure is computed using the Current Exposure Method. Under the Current Exposure
Method, computation of credit equivalent exposure for interest rate and exchange rate related contracts is derived
from the summation of the two elements; the replacement costs (obtained by marking-to-market) of all contracts and
the potential future exposure of outstanding contracts (Add On charges depending on the specific remaining tenor to
maturity).

5 Credit Risk
5.4 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies
ABB employs various policies and practices to control and mitigate credit risk.
Lending limits
ABB establishes internal limits and related lending guidelines to manage large exposures and avoid undue concentration
of credit risk in its credit portfolio. The limits include single customer groupings, connected parties, and geographical
and industry segments. These risks are monitored regularly and the limits reviewed annually or sooner depending on
changing market and economic conditions.
The credit risk exposure for derivative and loan books is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers
together with potential exposure from market movements.
Collateral
Credits are established against borrower’s capacity to repay rather than rely solely on security. However, collateral may
be taken to mitigate credit risk. The main collateral types accepted and given value by ABB are:
• Mortgages over residential properties;

• Charges over commercial real estate or vehicles financed;
• Charges over business assets such as business premises, inventory and account receivables; and
• Charges over financial instruments such as marketable securities
In order to be recognised as security, all items pledged must have value and ABB must have physical control and/
or legal title thereto, together with the necessary documentation to enable ABB to realise the asset without the co-
operation of the asset owner. Other items, such as personal or corporate guarantees, may be taken for comfort but will
not be treated as security for approval purposes. Valuations are updated on a regular basis.
Prior to acceptance of any item as security, verification must be done to ensure that the security exists and an accurate
and up-to-date valuation can be placed upon it. A pre-facility disbursement site visit must be undertaken in respect of
landed security of significant value. Where third parties are used to undertake a valuation they must be taken from a
list of approved valuers.
All assets which provide security to ABB must be adequately insured with an insurer from the list of approved
insurers.
The security documentation process is centralised in an independent Security Documentation Section at Head Office.
ABB adopts standardised Letter of Offer and Legal Documents. Variations/amendments require the approval from the
relevant approving authority in the Bank.
Documentary and commercial letters of credit are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they
relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.

5 Credit Risk
5.4 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies (continued)
Credit related commitments
Commitment to extend credit represents unutilised portion of approved credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters
of credit. In terms of credit risk, ABB is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unutilised commitments.
However, the potential amount of loss is less than the total unutilised commitments, as most commitments to extend
credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific minimum credit standards.
ABB monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater
degree of credit risk than short-term commitments.
Refer to Appendix IV (a) to (b).
5.5 Credit Risk Monitoring
Retail credits are actively monitored and managed on a portfolio basis by product type. A new collection management
system has been implemented with a dedicated team in place to promptly identify, monitor and manage delinquent
accounts at early stages of delinquency.
Corporate credits and large individual accounts are reviewed by the Business Units at least once a year against
updated information. This is to ensure that the credit grades remain appropriate and detect any signs of weaknesses
or deterioration in the credit quality. Remedial action is taken where evidence of deterioration exists.
Early Alert Process is in place as part of a means to pro-actively identify, report and manage deteriorating credit quality.
Watchlist accounts are closely reviewed and monitored with corrective measures initiated to prevent them from turning
impaired. As a rule, watchlist accounts are either worked up or worked out within a period of twelve months.
Portfolio management risk reports are submitted regularly to EAC and BRMC.
5.6 Impairment Provisioning
Individual impairment provisioning
Significant loans, with or without past due status, are subject to individual assessment for impairment when an evidence
of impairment surfaces or at the very least once annually during the annual review process.

If impaired, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the present value
of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The level of impairment
allowance on significant loans is reviewed regularly, at least quarterly or more often when circumstances require.
Significant loans that are deemed not impaired after individual assessment are included in a group of loans with similar
characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment.

5 Credit Risk
5.6 Impairment Provisioning (continued)
Collective impairment provisioning
All loans are grouped in respective business segments according to similar credit risk characteristics and is generally
based on industry, asset or collateral type, credit grade and past due status grouped based on business segments.
Portfolio provisioning is determined for each segment based on its respective loss probabilities and other information
relevant to estimation of the future cash flows of each segment.
Collective provisioning is applicable to all loans not covered under individual assessment as well as significant loans
that are deemed not impaired after individual assessment.
Total loans, advances and financing - credit quality
All loans, advances and financing are categorised into “neither past due nor impaired”, “past due but not impaired” and
“impaired”. Past due loans refer to loans that are overdue by one day or more. Impaired loans are loans with months-
in-arrears more than 90 days or with impaired allowances.

5 Credit Risk
5.7 Credit Risk Culture
ABB recognises that learning is a continuous journey and is committed to enhance the knowledge and required skills
set of its staff. It places strong emphasis in creating and enhancing risk awareness in the organisation.
For effective and efficient staff learning, ABB has implemented an E–Learning Program with an online Learning
Management System (‘LMS’). The LMS provides staff with a progressive self-learning alternative at own pace.
GRM implements an Internal Credit Certification (‘ICC’) Programme for both Business Banking and Consumer Credit.
The aim of the ICCs is to assist the core credit related group of personnel in ABB achieve a minimum level of knowledge
and analytical skills required to make sound corporate and commercial loans to customers.
6 Market Risk
6.1 Market Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Market risk is defined as the risk of losses to ABB’s portfolio positions arising from movements in market factors such
as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and changes in volatility. The Bank is exposed to market risks from its trading
and investment activities. ABB’s market risk management objective is to ensure that market risk is appropriately
identified, measured, controlled, managed and reported.
ABB’s exposure to market risk stems primarily from interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk. Interest rate risk
arises mainly from differences in timing between the maturities or repricing of assets, liabilities and derivatives. ABB is
also exposed to basis risk when there is a mismatch between the change in price of a hedge and the change in price
of the assets it hedges. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from unhedged positions of customers’ requirements and
proprietary positions.
6.2 Application of Standardised Approach for Market Risk
ABB adopts the Standardised Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for market risk.
Refer to Appendix I.
6.3 Market Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring
The Bank’s market risk management control strategy is established based on its risk appetite, market liquidity and
business strategies as well as macroeconomic conditions. These limits are reviewed at least on an annual basis.
Market risk arising from ABB’s trading book is primarily controlled through the imposition of Cut-loss and Value-at-Risk
(‘VaR’) Limits.
ABB quantifies interest rate risk by analysing the repricing mismatch between the rate sensitive assets and rate
sensitive liabilities. It also conducts Net Interest Income simulations to assess the variation in earnings under various
rates scenarios. The potential long term effects of the Bank’s overall exposure is also tracked by assessing the impact
on economic value of equity (‘EVE’).
The Bank’s interest rate risk is managed through Earnings-at-Risk (‘EaR’) and Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’) limits.
In addition, ABB conducts periodic stress test of its respective business portfolios to ascertain market risk under
abnormal market conditions.
ABB’s Management, ALCO and BRMC are regularly kept informed of its risk profile and positions.

6 Market Risk
6.4 Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’)
Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) is used to compute the maximum potential loss amount over a specified holding period of a
Trading portfolio. It measures the risk of losses arising from potential adverse movements in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates that could affect values of financial instruments.
The Variance-Covariance Parametric methodology is adopted to compute the potential loss amount. This is a
statistically defined, probability-based approach that uses volatilities and correlations to quantify price risks. Under this
methodology, a matrix of historical volatilities and correlations is computed from the past 100 business days’ market
data. VaR is then computed by applying these volatilities and correlations to the outstanding trading portfolio.
Other risk measures include the following:
(i) Mark-to-Market valuation tracks the current market value of the outstanding financial instruments.
(ii) Stress tests are conducted to attempt to quantify market risk arising from low probability, abnormal market
movements. Stress tests measure the changes in values arising from extreme movements in interest rates and
foreign exchange rates based on past experience and simulated stress scenarios.
(iii) Sensitivity/Dollar Duration is an additional measure of interest rate risk that is computed on a daily basis. It
measures the change in value of a portfolio resulting from a 0.01% increase in interest rates. This measure identifies
ABB interest rate exposures that are most vulnerable to interest rate changes and it facilitates the implementation
of hedging strategies.
6.5 Foreign Exchange Risk
ABB takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial
position and cash flows. The Board sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in aggregate for both overnight
and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily.
7 Liquidity Risk
7.1 Liquidity Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from a bank’s inability to meet its obligations
when they fall due. Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage sudden decreases or changes in funding sources.
Liquidity risk also arises from the failure to recognise changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate
assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.
7.2 Liquidity Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring
To measure and manage net funding requirements, ABB adopts BNM’s New Liquidity Framework (‘NLF’). The NLF
ascertains the liquidity condition based on the contractual and behavioural cash-flow of assets, liabilities and off-
balance sheet commitments, taking into consideration the realisable cash value of the eligible liquefiable assets. The
NLF is also supported by indicative ratios on the Bank’s funding structure to monitor the reliance on particular funding
sources.

7 Liquidity Risk
7.2 Liquidity Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring (continued)
ABB employs liquidity risk indicators as an early alert of any structural change for liquidity risk management. The risk is
measured monthly using internal and external qualitative and quantitative liquidity risk indicators. ABB also conducts
liquidity stress tests to gauge ABB’s resilience in the event of a funding crisis. In addition, the Bank has in place the
Contingency Funding Plan, which provides a systematic approach in handling liquidity disruption. The document
encompasses strategies, decision-making authorities, and courses of action to be taken in the event of liquidity crisis
and emergencies.
BRMC is responsible for ABB’s liquidity policy although the strategic management of liquidity has been delegated to
ALCO. The BRMC is informed regularly of the liquidity situation in the ABB.
8 Operational Risk
8.1 Operational Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, action on or by people,
infrastructure or technology or events which are beyond the bank’s immediate control which have an operational
impact, including natural disaster, fraudulent activities and money laundering/financing of terrorism.
ABB manages operational risk through a control based environment in which policies and procedures are formulated
after taking into account individual unit’s business activities, the market in which it is operating and regulatory
requirement in force.
8.2 Application of Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk
ABB adopts the Basic Indicator Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for operational risk.
The capital requirement is calculated by taking 15% of ABB’s average annual gross income over the previous three
years.
8.3 Operational Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring
Risk is identified through the use of assessment tools and measured using threshold/limits mapped against risk matrix.
Monitoring and control procedures include the use of key control standards, independent tracking of risk, back-up
procedures and contingency plans, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans. This is supported by
periodic reviews undertaken by Group Internal Audit to ensure adequacy and effectiveness of the Group Operational
Risk Management process.
ABB gathers, analyses and reports operational risk loss and ‘near miss’ events to Group Operational Risk Management
Committee and Board Risk Management Committee. Appropriate preventive and remedial actions are reviewed for
effectiveness and implemented to minimize the recurrence of such events.
8.4 Operational Risk Culture
As a matter of requirement, all Operational Risk Coordinators must satisfy an internal operational risk (including
anti-money laundering/counter financing of terrorism and business continuity management) Certification Program.
These coordinators will first go through an on-line self learning exercise before attempting on-line assessments to
measure their skills and knowledge level. This will enable Group Risk Management to prescribe appropriate training
and development activities for the coordinators.

9 Shariah Compliance
Shariah compliance is the fundamental of Islamic banking and finance. It gives legitimacy to the practices and business
operations of the Islamic financial institutions (‘IFIs’) concerned. Comprehensive compliance with Shariah principles would
also boosts confidence of shareholders and public that all the practices and activities by the IFIs are in compliance with the
Shariah principles at all times.
Shariah Governance Framework for Islamic Financial Institutions (the ‘Framework’) issued by Bank Negara Malaysia
becomes the main reference to oversee the Shariah governance process within AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad. In order to
comply with all the requirements in the Framework, Board of Directors of the Bank are very committed to ensure among
others all the required Shariah compliance and research functions include Shariah Risk Management, Shariah Review,
Shariah Research and Shariah Audit are properly established to effectively perform its respective functions.
Continuous training programs are provided to Shariah Committee members to equip them with better understanding and
exposure on banking operations and to Board of Directors, management members and staff for fundamental and advanced
knowledge on Shariah and Islamic commercial law matters.

3 OPERATIONAL RISK

Market risk is defined as the risk of losses in on and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices. The Bank’s
Capital-at-Risk (‘CaR’) is defined as the amount of the Bank’s capital that is exposed to the risk of unexpected losses arising particularly
from movements in interest and foreign exchange rates. A CaR Limit is set as a management trigger to ensure that the Bank’s exposure to
such movements do not compromise the Bank’s capital adequacy. The Bank is currently adopting BNM’s Standardised Approach for the
computation of market risk capital charges. The market risk capital charges addresses among others, capital requirement for market risk
which includes the interest rate risk pertaining to the Bank’s exposure in the trading book as well as foreign exchange risk in the trading
and banking books.
The computation of market risk capital charge covers the following outstanding financial instruments:
a) Foreign Exchange
b) Interest Rate Swap (‘IRS’)
c) Cross Currency Swap (‘CCS’)
d) Fixed Income Instruments (i.e. Private Debt and Government Securities)

Appendix IV
(b) Disclosure on Off-Balance Sheet and Counterparty Credit Risk (RM’000)
Counterparty Credit Risk is the risk that the counterparty to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction’s cashflows. An economic
loss could occur if the transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value for the Bank at the time of default.

In contrast to the exposure to credit risk through a loan, where the exposure to credit risk is unilateral and only the lending bank faces the risk of loss, Counterparty
Credit Risk creates a bilateral risk of loss where the market value for many types of transactions can be positive or negative to either counterparty.
In respect of off-balance sheet items, the credit risk inherent in each off-balance sheet instrument is translated in to an on-balance sheet exposure equivalent
(credit equivalent) by multiplying the nominal principal amount with a credit conversion factor (‘CCF’) as prescribed by the Standardised Approach under the
Risk Weighted Capital Adequacy Framework. The resulting amount is then weighted against the risk weight of the counterparty. In addition, counterparty risk
weights for over-the-counter (‘OTC’) derivative transactions will be determined based on the external rating of the counterparty and will not be subject to any
specific ceiling.

BASEL II Pillar 3 Disclosures Appendix IV
(c) Disclosures on Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk/Rate of Return Risk in the Banking Book
Interest rate risk is the current and prospective impact to the Bank’s financial condition due to adverse changes in the
interest rates to which the balance sheet is exposed. The objective is to manage interest rate risk to achieve stable and
sustainable net interest income in the long term which impact can be viewed from the perspectives of (1) earnings in the
next 12 months, and (2) economic value.
(1) Next 12 months’ Earnings - Interest rate risk from the earnings perspective is the impact based on changes to the net
interest income over the next 12 months. This risk is measured monthly through sensitivity analysis including the application
of an instantaneous 100 basis point parallel shock in interest rates across the yield curve. The prospective change to the
net interest income is measured using an Asset Liability Management simulation model which incorporates the assessment
of both existing and new business.
(2) Economic Value - Measuring the change in the economic value of equity is an assessment of the long term impact to the
earnings potential. This is assessed through the application of relevant duration factors to capture the net economic value
impact over the long term or total life of all balance sheet assets and liabilities to adverse changes in interest rates.
The above calculations do not take into account loan prepayments.
