Rezultatele deosebite obtinute de banca in ciuda conditiilor difi cile prin care a trecut sistemul fi nanciar-bancar international in contextul crizei economice mondiale au fost recunoscute si de catre presa, Volksbank Romania fi ind desemnata de catre grupul de presa Finmedia ca fi ind BANCA ANULUI 2008.

Toate aceste rezultate demonstreaza înca o dată faptul ca Volksbank Romania este unul dintre cei mai dinamici jucatori de pe piata, succesul înregistrat de banca avand la baza efortul sustinut al tinerei echipe Volksbank, extinderea canalelor de distributie si nu in ultimul rand de atentia sporita acordată procesului de identifi care si satisfacere a nevoilor clientilor nostri.

Pe langa obtinerea unor bune rezultate fi nanciare, eforturile noastre s-au concentrat si asupra perfectionarii managementului riscului.

Volksbank Romania a indeplinit cu succes cerintele de raportare corespunzatoare abordarilor standard Basel II incepand cu martie 2008, in acelasi timp facandu-se demersurile necesare pentru pregatirea trecerii la abordarea bazata pe ratinguri interne pe riscul de credit. In acest sens au fost luate masuri pentru: monitorizarea calitatii datelor, testarea si imbunatatirea sistemelor de rating, revizuirea procedurilor si proceselor legate de riscul de piata, riscul de credit si riscul de lichiditate.

1. ROMANIA A AVUT O CRESTERE ECONOMICA PESTE NIVELUL POTENTIAL IN PRIMELE 3 TRIMESTRE ALE ANULUI 2008, DAR S-A CONFRUNTAT CU O INCETINIRE BRUSCA IN TRIMESTRUL IV

In 2008, economia Romaniei a crescut peste nivelul potential in primele trei trimestre, dar a incetinit brusc in ultimul trimestru al anului, datorita crizei fi nanciare globale care a afectat sever tara noastra. Pe primul trimestru al anului 2008, PIB-ul real a crescut cu 8,2 % an/an, in principal datorita constructiilor (+32,5 % an/an) si comertului intern (+11 % an/an) . In urmatoarele 2 trimestre, PIB-ul real a avut cresteri anuale de peste 9 % ( +9,3 % an/an in semestrul II si +9,2 % an/an in semestrul III) datorita cresterilor semnifi cative din constructii, agricultura si comert intern. In perioada octombrie-decembrie s-a produs o incetinire semnifi cativa a activitatii economice, PIB-ul crescand in termini reali doar cu 2,9 % an/an, pe fondul scaderii activitatii din industrie (-7,7 % an/an) si servicii fi nanciare ( -1,5 % an/an), in conditiile in care criza de lichiditati globala a redus substantial fl uxurile fi nanciare catre Romania.

Utilizand metoda cheltuielilor, cresterea modesta a PIB-ului in trimestrul patru 2008 se explica in special datorita scaderii consumului fi nal cu 2,8 % fata de aceeasi perioada a anului precedent, datorita unei schimbari radicale in comportamentul gospodariilor. Gospodariile si-au redus consumul cu 3,7 % an/an, pe fondul inrautatirii asteptarilor in conditiile crizei fi nanciare internationale. Doar consumul adiministratiei publice a consemnat o crestere de 4,8 % an/an datorita cresterii cheltuielilor autoritatilor statului in contextul alegerilor. Formarea bruta de capital fi x si-a redus rata de crestere de la 24,3 % an/an in trimestrul III al anului 2008 si 28 % an/an in trimestrul IV al anului 2007 la 2,8 % an/an in ultimul trimestru al anului 2008, aratand faptul ca resursele fi nanciare se pot dimininua in urmatoarele trimestre. Criza fi nanciara si deprecierea monedei nationale au avut un eff ect pozitiv in evolutia exporturilor nete, importurile scazand cu 10,2 % an/an pentru prima data dupa 1990 in timp ce exporturile au crescut cu 1,6 % an/an.

Evolutiile slabe din economie in trimestrul IV, au generat o cresterea a PIB-ului per total in 2008 de 7,1 %, valoarea nominala a acestuia fi iind de 503,96 miliarde lei ( 136,85 miliarde euro). In anul 2008, cele mai dinamice sectoare sectoare ale economiei au fost: constructiile (+ 26,1 % an/an) si agricultura ( +21,4 % an/an). Industria a fost sectorul cel mai afectat de criza fi nanciara globala, inregistrand o crestere modesta de 1,3 % an/an in 2008 fata de 5,1 % an/an in 2007, datorita scaderii cererii de produse industriale atat pe piata interna cat si pe cea externa. Seviciile inca au avut o evolutie pozitiva, in special cele legate de comert, care au crescut cu 6,6 % an/an, in timp ce sectorul fi nanciar a avut o crestere modesta de 3,6 % an/an datorita reducerii lichiditatilor si existentei unor riscuri mai mari. In 2008, consumul fi nal a crescut cu 8 % in termeni reali, incetinindu-si ritmul de crestere de la 13,7 % in primele trei trimestre datorita scaderii consumului gospodariilor.

INFLATIA ANUALIZATA A COBORAT LA 6,3 % LA SFARSITUL ANULUI 2008, PESTE TINTA DE INFLATIE A BNR

In primul semestru al anului 2008, excesul de cerere si cresterea preturilor administrate au exercitat presiuni puternice asupra preturilor, impingand infl atia anualizata la 8,6 %. In a doua parte a anului, procesul dezinfl ationist a fost reluat datorita unei politici monetare restrictive a bancii centrale, care a mentinut rata de politica monetara la 10,25 %, perceptia investitorilor straini asupra pietelor emergente deteriorandu-se. Astfel, infl atia anuala a scazut de la 7,3 % la sfarsitul trimestrului III la 6,3 % la sfarsitul anului, depasind sensibil tinta de infl atie anuntata de BNR de 3,8 % cu o marja de eroare de +/- 1 pp. Desi moneda nationala a suferit o puternica depreciere, pierzand 7,1 % in comparatie cu nivelul din iunie 2008, presiunile infl ationiste au scazut datorita contractiei puternice a consumului

IN 2008, DEFICITUL FISCAL A CRESCUT LA 4,9 % FATA DE NIVELUL DE 2,3 % INREGISTRAT IN 2007

In 2008, defi citul bugetului general consolidat a urcat la 4,9 % din produsul intern brut (503,96 miliarde lei, aproximativ 136,85 miliarde euro), conform standardelor locale si 5,3 % din PIB conform standardelor ESA 95. In 2008, veniturile totale au reprezentat RON 164,47 mld ( aproximativ RON 44,66 mld), reprezentand 32,6 % din PIB. Veniturile din taxe, au cea mai mare pondere in veniturile totale au ajuns la 94,04 md RON, crescand cu 23,1 % an/an datorita cresterii economice pueternice pe fondul mentinerii nivelului actual al impozitelor. Anul trecut, cheltuielile totale au reprezentat 37,5 % din PIB, avansand cu 38,5 % an/an, astfel ca au ajuns la RON 189,1 mld RON (EUR 51,4 mld). Cheltuielile curente au avut cea mai mare pondere in cheltuielile totale, crescand cu 36,2 % in comparatie cu 2007

DEFICITUL DE CONT CURRENT S-A REDUS LA 12,3 % DIN PIB IN 2008 FATA DE 13,7 % IN 2007

In 2008, defi citul de cont curent al Romaniei a ajuns la EUR 16.877 mio, avand o crestere de 1,2 % fata de nivelul din 2007. Defi citul de cont curent s-a redus la 12,3 % din PIB in 2008 fata de 13,7 % in 2007. Defi citul de cont curent se datoreaza in mare parte dezechilibrului balantei comerciale care reprezinta EUR 18.199 mio, mai mare cu 2,1 % fata de nivelul din 2007, desi dinamica exporturilor a devansat-o pe cea a importurilor cu 4,4 pp. In 2008, balanta veniturilor a avut un defi cit de EUR 5.530 mio, mai mare cu 33 % an/an, datorita repatrierii veniturilor companiilor straine. In aceeasi perioada, transferurile curente au ajuns la RON 6.016 mio, crescand cu 25 % in comparatie cu 2007, ceea ce demonstreaza inca o data ca romanii nu s-au intors acasa in ciuda inrautatirii situatiei pe piata muncii in toata lumea. Investitiile straine directe (ISD) ale nerezidentilor au acoperit doar 53,5 % din defi citul de cont curent, crescand cu 10 % fata de 2007. In 2008, Romania a reusit sa atraga ISD in valoare de EUR 9.024 mio in comparatie cu EUR 7,251 mio in 2007. Investitiile de portofoliu si profi turile reinvestite au reprezentat 50,1 % din totalul investitiilor straine, in timp ce diferenta a fost reprezentata de imprumuturile intra-group.

La sfarsitul anului 2008, imprumuturile externe pe termen mediu si lung au totalizat EUR 51.221 mio, cu 33 % mai mult fata de sfarsitul anului 2007. Pe 31 decembrie 2008, datoria externa public garantata era de EUR 10.733 mio, reprezentand 21 % din datoria externa totala pe termen mediu si lung, in comparatie cu nivelul de 26,5 % la sfarsitul lunii decembrie 2007. In aceeasi perioada, datoria externa privata a fost de EUR 35.021 mio, avand o crestere de 39,5 % fata de 31 decembrie 2007.

RATA SOMAJULUI A CRESCUT LA 4,4 % LA SFARSITUL LUNII DECEMBRIE 2008

In decembrie 2008, rata somajului a crescut la 4,4 %, majorandu-se cu 0,3 pp fata de luna precedenta, precum si fata de sfarsitul anului 2007, datorita crizei economice globale care incepea sa afecteze piata muncii din Romania. In 2008, rata medie a somajului s-a diminuat la 4.0 % in comparatie cu 4,3 % in 2007, deoarece in lunile de vara, rata somajului a scazut datorita cresterii economice, ajungand la un nivel istoric de 3,7 % in perioada mai-iulie. La sfarsitul anului 2008, numarul de angajati din economie era de 4,74 milioane de persoane dintr-o populatie totala de 21,54 milioane. La sfarsitul lunii decembrie 2008, numarul somerilor a crescut la 403.4 mii persoane, cu 35,6 % mai mult in comparatie cu 2007.

R E TA I L

Incepand cu anul 2008, Volksbank Romania si-a imbunatatit si dezvoltat treptat strategia de vanzari, prin implementarea unei noi viziuni si anume: trasformarea relatiei cu clientii, intr-un parteneriat pe termen lung, concretizat in derularea prin VBR a intregii activitati bancare curente atat pe plan familial, cat si pe lan profesional, sau de afaceri, pe baza accesarii unui numar cat mai mare si mai variat de produse si servicii oferite de banca.

Dispunand de un portofoliul de retail ce cuprindea, la nivelul anului 2008, un numar de aproximativ 150.000 clienti (persoane fi zice si microcompanii), dintre care, peste 80.000 cu facilitati de credit in derulare, Volksbank Romania a extins paleta de produse si servicii oferite clientilor sai, venind in intampinarea dorintelor si necesitatilor lor, prin aplicarea acestei noi abordari, ce a continuat si in prima parte a anului 2009 si va continua si in urmatorii 2 ani.

Astfel, in vara anului 2008 au fost lansate pachetele de produse si servicii, ce contin, in functie de posibilitatile fi nanciare ale fi ecarui client, o serie de facilitati si discounturi, aplicate produselor si serviciilor incluse (conturi curente, carduri de debit, produse de credit, serviciul de internet banking gratuit), dar si operatiunilor bancare efectuate de clienti in cadrul acestor pachete (plati gratuite, retrageri gratuite etc).

Tot in vara anului 2008 a fost lansat noul serviciu de internet banking – VB Direct, unul dintre cele mai competitive din sistemul bancar romanesc, care ofera nu numai o utilizarea foarte usoara si efi cienta, fi ind un serviciu extrem de „prietenos” cu clientul, ci ofera in acelasi timp si posibilitatea efectuarii oricaror tipuri de operatiuni bancare (deschidere de noi conturi, constituire depozite, plati, transferuri, plata utilitati, efectuare schimburi valutare, verifi care solduri existente, verifi care extrase de cont, verifi care grafi ce de rambursare aferente creditelor contractate etc).

Urmare a implementarii acestui serviciu performant de internet banking, Volksbank Romania a continuat sa se preopcupa de cerintele si nevoile clientilor sai, venind in intampinarea acestora cu o noua paleta de produse, orientate de acesta data spre economisire: conturile curente speciale: „Junior”, „Student”, „Bunici”, „Dinamic”.

Prin aceste produse noi banca s-a adresat atat segmentelor existente de clientela (prin contul Dinamic – oferit atat persoanelor fi zice, cat si microcompaniilor), cat si unor segmente noi, cum sunt copiii, studentii, pensionarii, oferind pentru fi ecare categorie tinta, conturi curente cu dobanzi atractive, ce au incluse produse, operatiuni si servicii gratuite sau cu discount-uri avantajoase. Lansarea acestor produse de cont curent acopera in ansamblu toate ariile de interes ale persoanelor fi zice, de la conturile dedicate incasarii/virarii salariilor si a altor tipuri de venituri, la conturile dedicate copiilor si parintilor pentru incasarea si gestionarea economica si efi cienta a sumelor provenite din alocatiile de stat pentru copii si a alte drepturi de prestatii sociale, la conturile dedicate studentilor pentru incasarea si economisirea burselor scolare si a altor drepturi banesti si pana la conturile dedicate pensionarilor pentru incasarea pensiilor si altor drepturi banesti si chiar pentru economisirea resurselor disponibile.

Ca o continuare a acestui proces, la fi nele anului trecut a fost lansat un nou concept pe piata romaneasca: pachetul special de produse si servicii – VB Direct Bank – produs ce se adreseaza clientilor persoane fi zice cu resurse de timp limitate si care urmaresc derularea tuturor operatiunilor bancare intr-o maniera rapida, efi cienta si economica.

17

In plus, acest concept nou urmareste pe de-o parte revolutionarea si inovarea operatiunilor bancare clasice, derulate la ghiseele bancii, iar pe de alta parte, indrumarea persoanelor fi zice catre o forma mult mai confortabila si mai efi cienta de utilizare si accesare a produselor si serviciilor bancare - prin internet, in orice moment si in orice loc: acasa, la servici, in concediu etc.Prin pachetul special VB Direct Bank, Volksbank le ofera clientilor sai, existenti si noi, posibilitatea:

• Economisirii si gestionarii efi ciente a timpului alocat tranzactiilor si operatiunilor bancare;• Economisirii si gestionarii efi ciente a veniturilor si resurselor banesti – atat prin oferirea unor dobanzi extrem de atractive la conturile curente incluse in acest produs, cat si prin aplicarea unor costuri extrem de reduse produselor, serviciilor incluse si operatiunilor efectuate in cadrul acestui pachet (include servciul de internet banking gratuit, card debit gratuit si discount-uri de pana la 75% la operatiuni pe cont sau card);• Realizarii tuturor tranzactiilor bancare in timp extrem de scurt: prin accesarea servciului de internet banking inclus in pachet din orice loc si in orice moment.

Totodata, in cursul anului 2008, Volksbank Romania si-a extins gama de produse si servicii destinate IMM-urilor fi ind lansate pachete de produse si servicii dedicate acestora, cu costuri atractive si incluzand o serie de facilitati si discounturi, atat la produsele si serviciile incluse, cat si la o serie de operatiuni uzuale.In ceea ce priveste produsele de fi nantare oferite microcompaniilor, acestea au fost imbunatatite si diversifi cate, fi ind dezvoltate produse speciale pentru microcompanii sau entitati ce activeaza in diferite profesii liberale: medici, notari, avocati, etc.

In consecinta, la fi nele anului 2008, strategia Volksbank Romania de a diversifi ca si extinde tipurile de produse oferite, precum si de a atrage segmente noi de clientela a condus la ocuparea celei de-a treia pozitii in topul bancilor din sistemul bancar romanesc, pozitie datorata in mare masura dinamicii si dezvoltarii activitatii de retail.

D I V I Z I A C O R P O R AT E

Este un fapt bine stiut ca afacerea de baza a segmentului corporat din cadrul VBR a fost reprezentata de fi nantarea SME si de fi nantarea imobiliara. Finantarea SME ramane un segment tinta, pe tot parcursul anului 2008; fi nantarea imobiliara atingea nivelul Q3 in 2008, cand, datorita crizei internationale, strategia de grup a tarilor din cadrul Comunitatii Economice Europene a schimbat aborda-rea pentru acest segment. In consecinta, conducerea VBR a decis sa opreasca fi nantarea imobiliara din Q4 2008 si a pornit o procedura de restructurare si reprogramare pentru acest segment. Acestea fi ind spuse, activitatea din segmentul corporat pe parcursul anului 2008 a fost defi nita de dinamism, portofoliul de imprumut crescand cu cca. 36% fata de anul trecut.

In ceea ce priveste segmentul corporat si cel referitor la SME, evolutia anului 2008, transpusa in cifre, arata ca volumul de credit corporat a crescut cu 85% din decembrie 2007, in acelasi timp mentinand un portofoliu de imprumut de inalta calitate – rata implicita fi ind de 0,1%.

In zona tranzactiilor, trebuie mentionata lansarea VB Direct (Q2 2008) ca o platform integrata de e-banking, care a contribuit la imbunatatirea tranzactiilor corporate, alaturi de implementarea solutiei de scanare la nivel de sucursala pentru ordine de plata pe hartie. Aceste progrese au infl uentat in mod pozitiv calitatea si viteza procesarii platilor, determinand o migratie din sectorul platilor pe hartie catre cel electronic.

Abordarea pentru anul 2009 va continua sa consolideze pozitia pe segmentul de afaceri referitor la SME (companii cu o cifra de afaceri intre 1 milioane EUR si 50 milioane EUR) si se va adresa unei noi nise de piata reprezentata de fi nantarea proiectelor municipa-litatii si a acelora de infrastructura. Aceasta turnura in strategie, de inlocuire a fi nantarii imobiliare cu cea a proiectelor municipalitatii (risc suveran) este determinata de schimbarile din climatul economic si de noua abordare a riscului din partea VBR/VBI.

In vederea obtinerii succesului in cadrul liniei de afaceri propuse de strategia corporata pentru 2009, accentul va cadea pe urmatoarele directii majore:

Imbunatatirea continua a calitatii produselor si a serviciilor oferite clientilor-corporatii sau SME; Lansarea unor produse corporate standard dedicate atat administrarii numerarului, cat si a cerintelor fi nanciare ale

clientilor; Marirea profi tabilitatii in sectorul corporat si SME prin implementarea sistemului CRM, capabil sa masoare profi tabilitatea

per client si per manager de relatii; Sporirea veniturilor provenite din activitati de cross selling, avand in vedere caracteristicile acestui segement de afaceri.

Biroul pentru Clienti Internationali va urmari strategia de piata a VBR de a se adresa clientilor pe baza specifi cului activitatii lor.

Astfel, Biroul pentru Clienti Internationali isi doreste sa ofere o consultanta completa si de specialitate investitorilor austrieci, germani, italieni sau francezi, dar si investitorilor romani cu actiuni in strainatate.

Divizia este structurata pe 3 birouri internationale, in functie de originea clientului (Austria, Germania, Italia sau Franta etc.) si aduna o serie de specialisti care sa poata aborda clientul in limba sa materna.

Mai mult, departamentele dedicate acestui tip de clienti-corporatii activeaza ca centre coordonatoare si se adreseaza princi-palelor sucursale din Romania ale companiilor austriece, germane, italiene sau franceze.

Biroul pentru Clienti Internationali administreaza un portofoliu de cca. 1000 de clienti, din care 211 aveau facilitati de credit active cu un volum total de creditare in jurul a 120 milioane EUR la sfarsitul anului 2008 - cu 30% mai mult decat la fi nele lunii decembrie 2007.

Principalul scop pentru anul 2009 este mentinerea si cresterea bazei de date a clientilor prin crearea unei relatii de calitate si prin croirea de solutii fi nanciare care sa se potriveasca cat mai bine mentalitatii bancare occidentale a acestei tipologii de clienti.

Rezultatul obtinut in anul 2008 a constituit cea mai buna performanta in evolutia Diviziei Trezorerie din Volksbank Romania.Acest rezultat este cu atat mai remarcabil cu cat s-a realizat intr-un an de maxima criza fi nanciara pe pietele valutare si monetare internationale.

Volumul tranzactiilor realizate de Volksbank Romania pe piata valutara a fost semnifi cativ, ajungand la 6 093.7 milioane EUR. Veniturile din tranzactiile realizate pe piata valutara au fost determinate in proportie de 60% de clientela nebancara si 40% in tranzactiile interbancare.

In aceste conditii, veniturile din FX (exceptand profi tul din reevaluare) s-au situat la un nivel de 15.7 milioane EUR iar veniturile rezultate din reevaluarea pozitiei valutare au fost de 2.5 milioane EUR.

Pe piata monetara, volumul tranzactiilor a crescut constant iar maturitatile au urmat tendinta pietei fi ind infl uentate de evolutia crizei fi nanciare.

De asemenea, in anul 2008 au crescut semnifi cativ volumele tranzactiilor de tip swap pe cursul de schimb pe piata interbancara in scopul unei mai bune gestionari a lichiditatii bancii.

Pe parcursul anului, banca a reusit sa isi pastreze in permanenta o rezerva de lichiditate ceea ce a ajutat la depasirea fara probleme a crizei fi nanciare din a doua jumatate a anului 2008.

Veniturile din dobanzi rezultate din activitatea de trezorerie au fost determinate atat de plasamentele pe piata interbancara, cat si de instrumentele fi nanciare cu venit fi x emise de Ministerul de Finante, atingand nivelul total de 10.1 milioane EUR.

Cererea clientilor pentru produse derivate a crescut semnifi cativ pe parcusul anului 2008 pe fondul situatiei economice internationale. Tranzactiile de tip forward pe cursul de schimb au fost des solicitate de catre clienti in scopul protejarii la riscul valutar.

Anul 2008 a fost caracterizat si printr-o imbunatatire calitativa a activitatii de trezorerie prin demararea unui proces de implementare a celor mai bune solutii informatice existente pe piata in acest moment.

Scopul acestui proces a fost acela de a ne permite dezvoltarea de produse noi si totodata un management mai bun al riscului.

Astfel, pe parcursul anului 2008, am implementat cu succes solutia de front- offi ce, respectiv sistemul Kondor+, si am demarat implementarea aplicatiei de back offi ce precum si a aplicatiei de custodie pe titluri de stat care vor fi livrate in cursul anului 2009.

Volksbank Romania a continuat sa ofere o gama larga de produse de trezorerie care pot fi adaptate conform cerintelor si nevoilor fi ecarui client prin negociere directa pe telefon sau on-line. Clientii sunt informati zilnic asupra evolutiei pietelor fi naciare cu scopul de a-i ajuta pe acestia sa identifi ce oportunitatile existente.

In anul 2008 activitatea Diviziei Control Risc s-a concentrat in principal pe implementarea cerintelor Basel II. Volksbank Romania a indeplinit cu succes cerintele de raportare corespunzatoare abordarilor standard Basel II incepand cu martie 2008. In acelasi timp s-au facut demersuri pentru pregatirea trecerii la abordarea bazata pe ratinguri interne pe riscul de credit. In acest sens au fost luate masuri pentru: monitorizarea calitatii datelor, testarea si imbunatatirea sistemelor de rating, revizuirea procedurilor si proceselor legate de riscul de piata, riscul de credit si riscul de lichiditate.

Divizia a contribuit la continuarea integrarii in activitatea zilnica a bancii a masurilor de risc precum RAROC, pierderi asteptate, PD si LGD.

In zona riscului de piata s-a inceput folosirea softului Kondor+ atat pentru monitorizarea zilnica a riscurilor cat si pentru raportari.

Avand in vedere situatia actuala, o atentie deosebita a fost acordata testelor de stress privind riscurile de rata de schimb, riscul de rata a dobanzii, lichiditate si pretul activelor imobiliare.

De asemenea, in a doua parte a anului cadrul de monitorizare si gestionare a lichiditatii a fost intarit considerabil atat prin cresterea frecventei de monitorizare cat si prin cooperarea mai stransa cu Diviziile Trezorerie si Financiar-Contabilitate.

2.1 DECLARATIE DE CONFORMITATE

Situatiile fi nanciare consolidate ale Grupului au fost intocmite in conformitate cu Standardele Internationale de Raportare Financiara („IFRS”) adoptate de Uniunea Europeana in vigoare la data de raportare anuala a Grupului, 31 decembrie 2008.

Pentru estimarea pierderilor din deprecierea valorii creditelor si avansurilor acordate si a investitiei nete de leasing, Grupul a aplicat metodologia interna prezentata in Nota 3.9.1. - 7.).

Diferente intre situatiile fi nanciare IFRS si situatiile fi nanciare statutareEvidentele contabile ale Bancii sunt mentinute in lei, in conformitate cu legislatia contabila din Romania precum si cu reglementarile bancare in vigoare emise de Banca Nationala a Romaniei. Filiala isi mentine evidentele contabile in conformitate cu legislatia contabila din Romania. Toate aceste evidente contabile ale Bancii si fi lialelor sale sunt denumite in continuare conturi statutare.

Aceste conturi au fost retratate pentru a refl ecta diferentele existente intre conturile statutare si IFRS. In mod corespunzator, conturile statutare au fost ajustate, in cazul in care a fost necesar, pentru a armoniza aceste situatii fi nanciare, in toate aspectele semnifi cative, cu IFRS.

Modifi carile cele mai importante aduse situatiilor fi nanciare statutare pentru a le alinia Standardelor Internationale de Raportare Financiara adoptate de Uniunea Europeana sunt:

• gruparea mai multor elemente detaliate in categorii mai cuprinzatoare;• ajustari ale elementelor de activ si pasiv, in conformitate cu IAS 29 („Raportarea financiara in economii hiperinflationiste”) datorita faptului ca economia romaneasca a fost o economie hiperinflationista pana la 31 decembrie 2003;• alegerea monedei RON ca moneda functionala incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2008;• ajustari la valoare justa si deprecierea valorii instrumentelor fi nanciare, in conformitate cu IAS 39 („Instrumente fi nanciare – recunoastere si evaluare”);• constituirea de provizioane pentru impozitul pe profi tul amanat; • prezentarea informatiilor necesare in conformitate cu IFRS.

2.2 BAZELE EVALUARII

Situatiile fi nanciare consolidate au fost intocmite luand in considerare valoarea justa a instrumentelor fi nanciare derivate, creantelor si datoriilor fi nanciare precum si a instrumentelor fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare prin contul de profi t si pierdere, cu exceptia acelora pentru care valoarea justa nu a putut fi stabilita in mod credibil. Alte creante si datorii fi nanciare precum si creantele si datoriile nefi nanciare sunt prezentate la cost amortizat, valoare reevaluata sau cost istoric.

Activele non-curente disponibile pentru vanzare sunt prezentate la valoarea cea mai mica dintre valoarea neta contabila si valoarea justa, mai putin costurile legate de vanzare.

2.3 MONEDA FUNCTIONALA SI DE PREZENTARE

Conducerea Bancii a considerat ca moneda RON reprezinta moneda functionala incepand cu 01 ianuarie 2008. Schimbarea monedei functionale a fost aplicata prospectiv de catre Grup.

Elementele incluse in situatiile fi nanciare ale fi ecarei entitati din Grup sunt evaluate folosind moneda mediului economic principal in care entitatea opereaza („moneda functionala”). Situatiile fi nanciare consolidate ale Grupului sunt prezentate in RON, moneda pe care conducerea Bancii a ales-o ca moneda de prezentare.

Potrivit IAS 21, intrucat moneda functionala inainte de 1 ianuarie 2008 a fost EUR, pentru conversia sumelor din EUR in RON au fost respectate urmatoarele proceduri la data de 31 decembrie 2007:

• activele, pasivele si capitalurile proprii pentru toate elementele prezentate in bilant (inclusiv comparativele), au fost transformate la cursul de schimb valabil pentru data bilantului (31 decembrie 2007: 3,6102 RON/EUR);• elementele de natura veniturilor si cheltuielilor au fost convertite in cursul perioadei la cursul de schimb valabil la data efectuarii tranzactiilor la un curs de schimb care aproximeaza cursul de schimb actual (curs mediu in 2007: 3,3373 RON/EUR);• elementele de capitaluri proprii, altele decat rezultatul perioadei care este inclus in rezultatul reportat, au fost convertite la cursul de schimb valabil la data bilantului prezentat (31 decembrie 2007: 3,6102 RON/EUR).

2.4 UTILIZAREA ESTIMARILOR SI JUDECATILOR SEMNIFICATIVE

Pregatirea situatiilor fi nanciare in conformitate cu IFRS adoptate de Uniunea Europeana presupune din partea conducerii utilizarea unor estimari, judecati si presupuneri ce afecteaza aplicarea politicilor contabile, precum si valoarea raportata a activelor, datoriilor, veniturilor si cheltuielilor. Estimarile si judecatile aferente se bazeaza pe experienta si pe numerosi factori presupusi rezonabili in conditiile date, rezultatele acestora formand baza emiterii de judecati cu privire la valoarea contabila a activelor si datoriilor, valoare care nu poate fi dedusa din alte surse. Rezultatele actuale pot fi diferite de valorile estimate.

Estimarile si presupunerile sunt revizuite periodic. Revizuirile estimarilor contabile sunt recunoscute in perioada in care estimarea este revizuita, daca revizuirea afecteaza doar acea perioada, sau in perioada in care estimarea este revizuita si perioadele viitoare daca revizuirea afecteaza atat perioada curenta, cat si perioadele viitoare.

Informatiile legate de acele estimari folosite in aplicarea politicilor contabile care au un efect semnifi cativ asupra situatiilor fi nanciare, precum si estimarile ce implica un grad semnifi cativ de incertitudine, sunt prezentate in Notele 5 si 6.

43

Metodele si politicile contabile semnifi cative prezentate mai jos au fost aplicate in mod consecvent de catre entitatile din Grup de-a lungul exercitiilor fi nanciare prezentate in situatiile fi nanciare consolidate.

Pentru ca informatiile sa fi e comparabile, anumite elemente din situatiile fi nanciare la 31 decembrie 2007 au fost reclasifi cate

pentru a fi in conformitate cu prezentarea situatiilor fi nanciare curente.

3.1 A) BAZELE CONSOLIDARII

3.1.1 Filialele

Filialele sunt entitati afl ate sub controlul Bancii. Controlul exista atunci cand Banca are puterea de a conduce, in mod direct sau indirect, politicile fi nanciare si operationale ale unei entitati pentru a obtine benefi cii din activitatea acesteia. La momentul evaluarii controlului trebuie luate in calcul si drepturile de vot potentiale sau convertibile care pot fi exercitate si in prezent. Situatiile fi nanciare ale fi lialelor sunt incluse in situatiile fi nanciare consolidate din momentul in care incepe exercitarea controlului si pana in momentul incetarii lui.

Banca consolideaza situatiile fi nanciare ale fi lialei sale, VBRO Services S.R.L., in conformitate cu IAS 27 („Situatiile fi nanciare consolidate si individuale”).

3.1.2 Entitati asociate

Entitatile asociate sunt acele societati asupra carora Grupul poate exercita o infl uenta semnifi cativa, dar nu si control asupra politicilor fi nanciare si operationale. Situatiile fi nanciare consolidate includ cota parte a Grupului din rezultatele entitatilor asociate pe baza metodei punerii in echivalenta, de la data la care Grupul a inceput sa exercite infl uenta semnifi cativa si pana la data la care aceasta infl uenta inceteaza. In cazul in care cota parte a Grupului din pierderile entitatii asociate depaseste valoarea contabila a investitiei, valoarea contabila este redusa la zero iar pierderile ulterioare nu sunt recunoscute cu exceptia situatiei in care Grupul are obligatii legale sau constructive in numele entitatii asociate.

Banca detine 20% din capitalul social al societatii Volsbank Leasing IFN S.A., societate care ofera servicii de leasing persoanelor fi zice si juridice. Grupul nu exercita infl uenta semnifi cativa si nu detine control asupra politicilor fi nanciare si operationale ale Volksbank Leasing IFN S.A., prin urmare aceasta societate nu este inclusa in perimetrul de consolidare al Grupului, nefi ind o entitate asociata.

3.1.3 Tranzactiile eliminate la consolidare

Decontarile si tranzactiile in interiorul Grupului, ca si profi turile nerealizabile rezultate din tranzactii in cadrul Grupului, sunt eliminate in totalitate in situatiile fi nanciar contabile. Profi turile nerealizate rezultate din tranzactii cu entitati asociate sunt eliminate in contrapartida cu investitia in societatea asociata.

3.2 MONEDA STRAINA

3.2.1 Tranzactii in moneda straina

Operatiunile exprimate in moneda straina sunt convertite in moneda functionala la cursul ofi cial de schimb de la data decontarii tranzactiei. Activele si pasivele monetare inregistrate in devize la data intocmirii bilantului contabil sunt transformate in moneda functionala la cursul ofi cial de schimb valabil la data bilantului. Castigurile sau pierderile din decontare sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere, cu exceptia cazurilor in care diferentele de curs provin din translatarea instrumentelor fi nanciare clasifi cate ca fi ind disponibile pentru vanzare care sunt incluse in rezerva provenind din modifi carea valorii juste a acestor instrumente fi nanciare.

Activele si datoriile nemonetare care sunt evaluate la cost istoric in moneda straina sunt convertite in moneda functionala la cursul de schimb de la data tranzactiei. Activele si pasivele nemonetare exprimate in moneda straina care sunt evaluate la valoarea justa sunt convertite in moneda functionala la cursul de schimb din data la care a fost determinata valoarea justa.

Diferentele de conversie sunt prezentate in contul de profi t si pierdere cu exceptia diferentelor rezultate din conversia instrumentelor fi nanciare clasifi cate ca fi ind disponibile pentru vanzare, care sunt incluse in rezerva provenind din modifi carea valorii juste a acestor instrumente fi nanciare.

Ratele de schimb ale principalelor valute la 31 decembrie 2008 si 2007 au fost:

Moneda 31 decembrie 2008 31 decembrie 2007 % Crestere/ (Descrestere)

Euro (EUR) 1: RON 3,9852 1: RON 3,6102 10,38%

Dolar American (USD) 1: RON 2,8342 1: RON 2,4564 15,38%

Franc Elvetian (CHF) 1: RON 2,6717 1: RON 2,1744 22,87%

3.3 VENITURI SI CHELTUIELI DIN DOBANZI

Veniturile si cheltuielile din dobanzi aferente instrumentelor fi nanciare sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere la cost amortizat folosind metoda ratei de dobanda efective.

Metoda dobanzii efective este o metoda de calcul a costului amortizat al unui activ fi nanciar sau a unei datorii fi nanciare si de alocare a venitului sau a cheltuielii din dobanzi pe o perioada relevanta de timp. Rata dobanzii efective este rata exacta care actualizeaza estimarile de fl uxuri viitoare de numerar de platit sau de incasat pe perioada de viata a instrumentului fi nanciar, sau, cand e cazul, pe o perioada mai scurta, la valoarea neta raportata a activului sau datoriei fi nanciare. Pentru calculul ratei dobanzii efective, Grupul estimeaza fl uxurile viitoare de numerar luand in considerare toti termenii contractuali ai instrumentului fi nanciar (de exemplu, plati in avans, optiuni call si alte optiuni similare), dar nu tine cont de pierderile viitoare din credit.

45

Metoda de calcul include toate spezele si comisioanele platite sau primite intre partile contractuale care sunt parte integranta a dobanzii efective, costurile de tranzactionare, si alte prime si discounturi.

Metoda liniara reprezinta o metoda de calcul a costului amortizat al imprumuturilor acordate clientilor prin care comisioanele generate de acordarea unui credit, primite de la partile contractante precum si cheltuielile directe aferente trebuie sa fi e incluse in rata de dobanda efectiva si trebuie amortizare si recunoscute ca venit din dobanzi pe o perioada relevanta. Metoda de amortizare liniara folosita la determinarea costului amortizat pentru creditele acordate clientelei reprezinta estimarea cea mai buna a managementului iar efectul fi nanciar generat nu difera semnifi cativ de efectul care ar fi fost obtinut prin aplicarea metodei ratei de dobanda efective.

3.4 VENITURI SI CHELTUIELI DIN SPEZE SI COMISIOANE

Veniturile din speze si comisioane provin in principal din activitatea de creditare, comisioane din operatiuni cu carduri, din servicii de administrare a numerarului, servicii de brokeraj, comisioane pentru emiterea de scrisori de garantie si deschiderea de acreditive. Veniturile si cheltuielile din comisioane direct atribuibile activului sau datoriei fi nanciare la momentul initierii (atat venit cat si cheltuiala), sunt incluse in calculul ratei efective a dobanzii. Comisioanele aferente angajarii creditelor sunt amortizate impreuna cu celelalte costuri directe si recunoscute ca ajustare a ratei de dobanda efectiva a creditului. Alte venituri din comisioane si speze provenite din servicii fi nanciare prestate de catre Grup sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere in momentul in care serviciul respectiv este prestat. Alte cheltuieli din speze si comisioane se refera in principal la comisioane de tranzactionare si servicii si care sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere in momentul in care serviciul respectiv este prestat.

3.5 VENITURI DIN CONVERSIE VALUTARA SI DERIVATIVE DETINUTE PENTRU MANAGEMENTUL RISCULUI

Venitul net din tranzactionare este reprezentat de diferenta intre castigul si pierderea din activele si datoriile tranzactionabile si derivativele detinute pentru managementul riscului si include modifi carile de valoare justa realizate si nerealizate, precum si diferentele de curs valutar. Venitul net din diferente de curs valutar si derivative detinute pentru managementul riscului este prezentat in cadrul profi tului operational.

3.6 DIVIDENDE

Veniturile din dividende sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere la data la care este stabilit dreptul de a primi aceste venituri. Veniturile din participatii si alte investitii fara venit fi x sunt recunoscute ca venituri din dividende atunci cand sunt angajate. Veniturile din dividende sunt refl ectate ca o componenta a veniturilor din operatiuni. Dividendele sunt tratate ca o distribuire a profi tului in perioada in care au fost declarate si aprobate de catre Adunarea Generala a Actionarilor. Singurul profi t disponibil pentru repartizare este profi tul anului inregistrat in conturile statutare romanesti si este diferit de profi tul refl ectat in aceste situatii fi nanciare, intocmite in conformitate cu IFRS adoptate de Uniunea Europeana, din cauza diferentelor intre reglementarile contabile aplicabile in Romania si cele adoptate de Uniunea Europeana.

46

3.7 PLATI DE LEASING

Platile de leasing operational sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere pe baza metodei liniare pe durata contractului de leasing. Facilitatile de leasing primite sunt recunoscute ca parte integranta a cheltuielii totale de leasing, pe durata contractului de leasing. Cheltuielile cu leasingul operational sunt recunoscute ca o componenta a cheltuielilor operationale.

Platile minime de leasing in cadrul contractelor de leasing fi nanciar sunt impartite proportional intre cheltuiala cu dobanda de leasing si reducerea datoriei de leasing. Cheltuiala cu dobanda de leasing este alocata fi ecarei perioade de leasing in asa fel incat sa produca o rata de dobanda constanta pentru datoria de leasing ramasa. Platile de leasing contingente sunt recunoscute prin revizuirea platilor minime de leasing pentru perioada de leasing ramasa cand ajustarea de leasing este confi rmata.

3.8 IMPOZITUL PE PROFIT

Impozitul pe profi t aferent exercitiului cuprinde impozitul curent si impozitul amanat. Impozitul pe profi t este recunoscut in contul de profi t si pierdere, sau in capitaluri proprii daca impozitul este aferent elementelor de capital. Impozitul pe profi t curent este impozitul de platit aferent profi tului realizat in perioada curenta, determinat in baza procentelor aplicate la data bilantului si a tuturor ajustarilor aferente perioadelor precedente.

Impozitul pe profi t amanat este determinat folosind metoda bilantiera pentru acele diferente temporare ce apar intre baza fi scala de calcul a impozitului pentru active si datorii si valoarea contabila a acestora folosita pentru raportare in situatiile fi nanciare. Impozitul amanat nu se recunoaste pentru urmatoarele diferente temporare: recunoasterea initiala a fondului de comert, recunoasterea initiala a activelor si datoriilor provenite din tranzactii care nu sunt combinatii de afaceri si care nu afecteaza nici profi tul contabil nici pe cel fi scal si diferente provenind din investitii in subsidiare, cu conditia ca acestea sa nu fi e reversate in viitorul apropiat. Impozitul pe profi t amanat este calculat pe baza procentelor de impozitare care se asteapta sa fi e aplicabile diferentelor temporare la reluarea acestora,

in baza legislatiei in vigoare la data bilantului.

Creanta privind impozitul pe profi t amanat este recunoscuta numai in masura in care este probabil sa se obtina profi t impozabil in viitor dupa compensarea cu pierderea fi scala a anilor anteriori si cu impozitul pe profi t de recuperat. Creanta privind impozitul amanat este diminuata in masura in care benefi ciul fi scal aferent este improbabil sa se realizeze.

Cota de impozit pe profi t utilizata la calculul impozitului pe profi t curent si amanat este la 31 decembrie 2008 de 16% (31 decembrie 2007: 16%).

47

3.9 ACTIVE SI DATORII FINANCIARE

3.9.1 Clasifi care

Grupul clasifi ca activele si datoriile fi nanciare in urmatoarele categorii:

a) Active sau datorii fi nanciare la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere

Aceasta categorie are doua subcategorii: active fi nanciare sau datorii fi nanciare detinute pentru tranzactionare, si instrumente fi nanciare clasifi cate la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere la momentul recunoasterii initiale. Un instrument fi nanciar este clasifi cat in aceasta categorie daca a fost achizitionat in principal cu scopul de a se vinde sau daca a fost desemnat in aceasta categorie de catre conducerea entitatii. Instrumentele derivate sunt, de asemenea, incadrate ca fi ind detinute pentru tranzactionare daca nu reprezinta un instrument de acoperire. La 31 decembrie 2008 si 31 decembrie 2007 Grupul nu detinea in portofoliu active sau datorii fi nanciare la valoarea justa prin contul de profi t si pierderi.

b) Activele fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare

Activele fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare sunt acele active fi nanciare care sunt desemnate ca disponibile pentru vanzare sau care nu sunt clasifi cate drept credite si avansuri, investitii detinute pana la scadenta sau active fi nanciare la valoarea justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere. Instrumentele fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare includ titluri de plasament emise de catre stat, certifi cate de trezorerie ce pot fi revandute Bancii Centrale, titlurile de participare ale activitatii de portofoliu care nu sunt detinute pentru tranzactionare sau detinute pana la scadenta.

La data de 31 decembrie 2008 si 31 decembrie 2007 Grupul a inclus in aceasta categorie titlurile de trezorerie emise de Ministerul Finantelor Publice precum si participatiile.

c) Investitiile detinute pana la scadenta

Investitiile detinute pana la scadenta reprezinta acele active fi nanciare cu plati fi xe sau determinabile si scadenta fi xa pe care Grupul are intentia ferma si posibilitatea de a le pastra pana la scadenta. In conditiile in care Grupul procedeaza la vanzarea sau la reclasifi carea de valori semnifi cative de titluri de investitii, in decursul exercitiului fi nanciar curent sau a doua exercitii fi nanciare precedente, aceasta nu va putea clasifi ca niciun activ fi nanciar ca titlu de investitii (regula contaminarii). Aceasta interdictie nu se aplica in situatia in care respectiva vanzare sau reclasifi care:

• este atat de apropiata de scadenta activului financiar (de exemplu, cu mai putin de trei luni inainte de scadenta) incat modificarile ratei dobanzii de pe piata nu ar fi putut avea un efect semnificativ asupra valorii juste a activului financiar; • are loc dupa ce s-a recuperat in mod substantial valoarea principalului activului financiar, prin plati esalonate sau prin rambursari anticipate; sau• este atribuita unui eveniment izolat, nu este repetitiv si nu putea fi anticipat in mod rezonabil.

48

In situatia in care respectiva vanzare sau reclasifi care nu se incadreaza intr-unul din cazurile de mai sus, toate titlurile de investitii vor fi reclasifi cate in categoria titlurilor de plasament. La data de 31 decembrie 2008 Grupul avea in portofoliu titluri de stat detinute pana la scadenta. La data de 31 decembrie 2007, Grupul nu avea in portofoliu instrumente fi nanciare detinute pana la scadenta.

d) Creditele si avansurile

Creditele si avansurile sunt active fi nanciare nederivate cu plati fi xe sau determinabile care nu sunt cotate pe o piata activa, altele decat acelea pe care Grupul intentioneaza sa le vanda imediat sau in viitorul apropiat, acelea pe care Grupul, in momentul recunoasterii initiale, le clasifi ca ca fi ind active fi nanciare detinute pentru tranzactionare, acelea pe care Grupul, dupa recunoasterea initiala, le desemneaza ca fi ind disponibile pentru vanzare sau acelea pentru care detinatorul ar putea sa nu recupereze substantial toata investitia initiala, din alt motiv decat datorita deprecierii creditului. Creditele si creantele includ imprumuturile si avansurile acordate bancilor si clientilor.

3.9.2. Recunoastere

Activele fi nanciare si datoriile fi nanciare sunt evaluate initial la valoare justa plus, in cazul activelor fi nanciare si datoriilor fi nanciare altele decat cele la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere, costurile de tranzactionare direct atribuibile. Grupul recunoaste initial creditele si creantele, depozitele si datoriile subordonate la data la care sunt create. Toate celelalte active si pasive fi nanciare (inclusiv cele la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere) sunt recunoscute initial la data tranzactionarii la care Grupul a devenit parte la prevederile contractuale ale instrumentului fi nanciar.

3.9.3. Derecunoastere

Grupul derecunoaste un activ fi nanciar atunci cand drepturile de a primi fl uxuri de numerar din acel activ fi nanciar expira, sau atunci cand Grupul a transferat drepturile de a primi fl uxurile de numerar contractuale aferente acelui activ fi nanciar intr-o tranzactie in care a transferat in mod semnifi cativ toate riscurile si benefi ciile dreptului de proprietate. Orice drept in activele fi nanciare transferate care este retinut de Grup sau creat pentru Grup este recunoscut separat ca un activ sau datorie. Grupul derecunoaste o datorie fi nanciara atunci cand s-au incheiat obligatiile contractuale sau atunci cand obligatiile contractuale sunt anulate sau expira.

3.9.4. Compensari

Activele si datoriile fi nanciare sunt compensate, iar rezultatul net este prezentat in bilant doar atunci cand exista un drept legal de compensare si daca exista intentia decontarii lor pe o baza neta sau daca se intentioneaza realizarea activului si stingerea datoriei in mod simultan. Veniturile si cheltuielile sunt prezentate pe baza neta numai atunci cand sunt permise de standardele contabile, sau ca profi t si pierdere rezultate dintr-un grup de tranzactii similare cum ar fi cele din activitatea de tranzactionare a Grupului.

3.9.5. Evaluarea la cost amortizat

Costul amortizat al unei creante sau datorii fi nanciare reprezinta valoarea la care creanta sau datoria fi nanciara este masurata la recunoasterea initiala, mai putin platile de principal, la care se adauga sau se scade amortizarea cumulata pana la momentul respectiv, determinata folosind metoda liniara pentru creditele si avansurile acordate clientelei si metoda ratei efective a dobanzii pentru diferentele dintre valoarea recunoscuta initial si valoarea la data maturitatii, mai putin reducerile din deprecierea activelor.

49

3.9.6. Evaluarea la valoarea justa

Valoarea justa a instrumentelor fi nanciare se bazeaza pe o cotatie de pret pe o piata activa, valabila la data bilantului fara deducerea costurilor de tranzactionare. In cazul in care nu exista o cotatie de pret, valoarea justa a instrumentelor fi nanciare se estimeaza folosind modele pentru stabilirea preturilor sau tehnici de actualizare a fl uxurilor de numerar, tehnici bazate pe valoarea prezenta neta, metoda comparatiilor cu instrumente similare pentru care exista un pret de piata observabil si alte metode de evaluare.

Atunci cand este folosita analiza fl uxurilor de numerar actualizate, fl uxurile de numerar viitoare se bazeaza pe cele mai bune estimari ale conducerii si o rata de actualizare echivalenta cu ratele de rentabilitate predominante pe piata pentru instrumentele fi nanciare care au aceeasi termeni si aceleasi caracteristici. Atunci cand se folosesc modele pentru stabilirea pretului unei optiuni, elementele modelului se bazeaza pe valori din piata valabile la data bilantului. In cazul in care valoarea justa nu poate fi estimata in mod credibil, participatiile pentru care nu exista o piata activa de tranzactionare sunt evaluate la cost si sunt testate periodic pentru deprecierea valorii.

3.9.7. Identifi carea si evaluarea deprecierii de valoare

a) Active detinute la cost amortizat

La data fi ecarui bilant contabil, Grupul analizeaza daca exista vreun indiciu obiectiv, potrivit caruia activele fi nanciare sau un grup de active fi nanciare care nu sunt tinute la valoarea justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere, sunt depreciate. Un activ fi nanciar sau un grup de active fi nanciare este depreciat si apar pierderi din depreciere daca si numai daca exista indicii obiective cu privire la deprecierea acestora ca rezultat al unuia sau mai multor evenimente aparute dupa recunoasterea initiala a activului (“eveniment generator de pierderi”), iar evenimentul sau evenimentele generatoare de pierdere au un impact asupra fl uxurilor de numerar viitoare ale activului fi nanciar sau grupului de active fi nanciare care poate fi estimat in mod credibil. Este probabil ca identifi carea unui singur eveniment care sa fi cauzat deprecierea sa fi e difi cil de realizat. Deprecierea este posibil sa fi fost cauzata de efectul combinat al mai multor evenimente. Pierderile asteptate ca urmare a evenimentelor viitoare, indiferent de cat de probabile sunt, nu sunt recunoscute.

Daca exista indicii obiective ca a avut loc o pierdere din deprecierea activelor fi nanciare inregistrate la cost amortizat, atunci pierderea este masurata ca diferenta intre valoarea contabila a activului si valoarea actualizata a fl uxurilor viitoare de numerar utilizand metoda ratei efective a dobanzii activului fi nanciar la momentul initial (rata efectiva a dobanzii calculata la momentul recunoasterii initiale). Daca un activ fi nanciar are o rata variabila a dobanzii, rata de actualizare pentru evaluarea oricarei pierderi din amortizare este rata variabila curenta a dobanzii, specifi cata in contract. Valoarea contabila a activului poate fi diminuata direct sau prin folosirea unui cont de provizion. Cheltuiala cu pierderea din depreciere se recunoaste in contul de profi t si pierdere.

Daca intr-o perioada urmatoare, un eveniment care a avut loc ulterior momentului recunoasterii deprecierii determina reducerea pierderii din depreciere, pierderea din depreciere recunoscuta anterior este reluata fi e direct, fi e prin ajustarea unui cont de provizion. Reducerea de depreciere se recunoaste in contul de profi t si pierdere.

50

b) Credite si avansuri acordate clientilor

Grupul, in functie de metodologia interna de evaluare a deprecierii, a inclus informatii legate de urmatoarele evenimente generatoare de pierdere, ca dovada obiectiva asupra deprecierii creditelor acordate clientilor sau grupurilor de clienti:

• difi cultati fi nanciare semnifi cative ale imprumutatului determinate in conformitate cu sistemul intern al Grupului de evaluare a clientilor;• o incalcare a contractului, cum ar fi neplata sau intarzierea la plata a principalului sau dobanzii;• creditorul, din motive legale sau economice legate de situatia fi nanciara indoielnica a imprumutatului, acorda acestuia anumite concesii pe care altfel nu le-ar fi acordat;• existenta unor informatii credibile care sa indice faptul ca imprumutatul va intra in faliment sau intr-o alta forma de reorgani- zare fi nanciara;• disparitia unei piete active pentru respectivul activ fi nanciar din cauza difi cultatilor fi nanciare intampinate de imprumutat; sau• existenta unor informatii credibile care sa indice o scadere masurabila in fl uxurile de numerar viitoare estimate ale unui grup de active fi nanciare de la momentul recunoasterii initiale, desi scaderea nu poate fi identifi cata inca pentru fi ecare activ fi nanciar in parte, incluzand:

- schimbari nefavorabile in comportamentul de plati al debitorilor grupului; sau- conditii economice nationale sau locale care pot fi corelate cu pierderea/ deprecierea activelor Grupului.

La momentul initial, Grupul evalueaza daca exista indicii obiective de depreciere, conform celor prezentate mai sus, in mod individual pentru credite acordate clientilor care sunt individual semnifi cative, sau in mod individual sau colectiv pentru credite care nu sunt individual semnifi cative. In situatia in care Grupul considera ca nu exista indicii obiective de depreciere pentru activele fi nanciare evaluate individual, fi e ca acestea sunt semnifi cative sau nu, acesta va include creditele acordate clientilor intr-un grup de credite cu caracteristici ale riscului de credit similare si va testa in mod colectiv grupul de credite pentru depreciere. Creditele si avansurile acordate clientelei care sunt testate individual pentru depreciere si pentru care o pierdere de valoare este recunoscuta sau continua sa fi e recunoscuta nu se cuprind in evaluarea colectiva pentru depreciere. Calculul valorii actualizate nete a fl uxurilor viitoare de numerar estimate ale unui credit garantat refl ecta fl uxurile de numerar care pot rezulta din valorifi carea garantiei minus costurile ce provin din obtinerea si vanzarea garantiei, chiar daca executarea este probabila sau nu.

Pentru evaluarea colectiva, creditele si avansurile acordate clientilor sunt grupate pe categorii in functie de caracteristici similare ale riscului de credit asociat, categorii care furnizeaza indicii cu privire la capacitatea debitorilor de a-si achita ratele scadente conform termenilor contractuali (de exemplu, pe baza evaluarii riscului de credit de catre Grup sau pe baza grilei de notare a Grupului care ia in considerare tipul de bun, industria, localizarea geografi ca, tipul garantiei, status-ul sumelor restante si alti factori). Conducerea considera ca aceste caracteristici alese sunt cea mai buna estimare a trasaturilor relevante ale riscului de credit relevant pentru estimarea fl uxurilor de numerar viitoare pentru grupuri de active, indicand capacitatea debitorilor de a plati toate sumele datorate in conformitate cu termenii contractuali ai activelor evaluate.

Fluxurile viitoare de numerar aferente unui grup de credite, care sunt evaluate colectiv pentru depreciere, sunt estimate pe baza experientei pierderilor istorice pentru creditele care fac parte din categoriile de risc cu aceleasi caracteristici. Pierderea istorica este ajustata luand in calcul informatii curente observabile pentru a refl ecta efectele conditiilor curente care nu au afectat perioada pe care se bazeaza calculul pierderilor istorice si pentru a inlatura efectele conditiilor existente in perioada istorica si care nu mai sunt valabile in prezent.

51

Datorita limitarilor inerente referitoare la experienta istorica in obtinerea de informatii cu privire la creditele depreciate individual, rate de pierderi istorice si complexitatea metodologiei aplicate, precum si a incertitudinii de pe pietele fi nanciare internationale si locale referitoare la evaluarea activelor mentionate in Nota 4h la situatiile fi nanciare consolidate, valoarea estimata a deprecierii creditelor si avansurilor acordate clientilor poate diferi mod semnifi cativ ulterior datei la care au fost aprobate situatiile fi nanciare consolidate.

Metodologia Grupului pentru estimarea deprecierii valorii creditelor si avansurilor acordate clientilor este de asemenea limitata de lipsa de informatii cu privire la rata de dobanda efectiva originala si estimarile pot diferi de valoarea care s-ar fi obtinut in conditiile in care ar fi fost disponibile informatii cu privire la rata de dobanda efectiva originala. Grupul revizuieste cu regularitate metodologia si premisele folosite pentru estimarea fl uxurilor de numerar viitoare pentru a reduce diferentele intre pierderile estimate si cele reale.

c) Active fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare

In cazul activelor fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare, atunci cand o scadere in valoarea justa a unui activ fi nanciar disponibil pentru vanzare a fost recunoscuta direct in capitalurile proprii si exista dovezi obiective ca activul este depreciat, pierderea cumulata ce a fost recunoscuta direct in capitalurile proprii va fi reluata din conturile de capitaluri proprii si recunoscuta in contul de profi t si pierdere chiar daca activul fi nanciar nu a fost inca derecunoscut. Valoarea pierderii cumulate care este reluata din conturile de capitaluri proprii in contul de profi t si pierdere va fi diferenta dintre costul de achizitie (net de rambursarile de principal si amortizare) si valoarea justa curenta, minus orice pierdere din deprecierea acelui activ fi nanciar recunoscuta anterior in contul de profi t si pierdere.

Pierderile din deprecierea activelor recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere aferente unor participatii clasifi cate ca fi ind disponibile pentru vanzare, nu vor fi reluate in contul de profi t si pierdere. In cazul in care, in perioada urmatoare, valoarea justa a unui titlu de valoare disponibil pentru vanzare creste, iar aceasta crestere poate fi legata in mod obiectiv de un eveniment care a avut loc ulterior recunoasterii in contul de profi t si pierdere a pierderilor anterioare, pierderea din depreciere trebuie reluata si suma trebuie recunoscuta in contul de profi t si pierdere.

d) Active fi nanciare prezentate la cost

Daca exista indicii obiective asupra unei pierderi din deprecierea unei participatii nelistate care nu este prezentata la valoare justa deoarece valoarea justa nu poate fi masurata in mod credibil, sau asupra unui activ fi nanciar derivat care este legat sau care urmeaza a fi decontat printr-un astfel de instrument nelistat, valoarea pierderii din depreciere este masurata ca diferenta dintre valoarea contabila a activului fi nanciar si valoarea actualizata a fl uxurilor viitoare de numerar utilizand rata de rentabilitate interna curenta a pietei pentru un activ fi nanciar similar. Astfel de pierderi din depreciere nu sunt reluate in contul de profi t si pierdere.

3.9.9. Desemnarea la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere

Grupul prezinta activele si datoriile fi nanciare la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere atunci cand:• elimina sau reduce semnifi cativ o inconsecventa de evaluare sau recunoastere („eroare contabila”) care ar fi putut sa apara din masurarea activelor si datoriilor sau din recunosterea castigurilor sau pierderilor acestora pe principii diferite;• sunt parte integrala a unui grup de active fi nanciare sau datorii fi nanciare gestionate, evaluate si raportate conducerii in baza valorii juste conform documentatiei de management al riscului/strategia de investitii; sau• sunt contracte hibride prin care o entitate poate prezenta intregul contract la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere.

52

3.10. NUMERAR SI ECHIVALENTE DE NUMERAR

Numerarul si echivalentele de numerar includ: numerarul efectiv, conturi curente la Banca Nationala a Romaniei, conturile nostro la banci . La intocmirea situatiei fl uxurilor de trezorerie consolidate, s-au considerat ca numerar si echivalente de numerar: numerarul efectiv, conturile curente la Banca Nationala a Romaniei, numerar din conturile nostro la banci, plasamente la Banca Nationala a Romaniei si la alte banci si titluri de valoare emise de Guvernul Romaniei cu o maturitate originala mai mica de 90 de zile.

3.11. ACTIVE SI DATORII FINANCIARE DETINUTE PENTRU TRANZACTIONARE

Activele si datoriile fi nanciare detinute pentru tranzactionare sunt cele pe care Grupul le-a achizitionat sau pe care le dobandeste cu scopul de a le vinde sau de a le rascumpara intr-un viitor apropiat, sau cele pe care le detine ca parte a unui portofoliu care este administrat pentru a obtine profi t pe termen scurt sau pentru a mentine o pozitie pe termen scurt. Activele si datoriile fi nanciare detinute pentru tranzactionare sunt recunoscute initial si masurate ulterior la valoarea justa in bilant iar costurile de tranzactionare sunt inregistrate direct in contul de profi t si pierdere. Toate schimbarile de valoare justa sunt recunoscute ca parte din profi tul net din tranzactionare in contul de profi t si pierdere. Activele si datoriile fi nanciare detinute pentru tranzactionare nu pot fi reclasifi cate ulterior recunoasterii lor.

3.12. INSTRUMENTE FINANCIARE DERIVATE DETINUTE PENTRU MANAGEMENTUL RISCULUI

Instrumentele derivate detinute pentru managementul riscului includ active si datorii derivate care nu sunt clasifi cate ca active sau datorii detinute pentru tranzactionare. Instrumentele derivate detinute pentru acoperirea riscului sunt recunoscute la valoare justa in bilant.

Cand un instrument fi nanciar derivat nu este detinut pentru tranzactionare si nu este implicat intr-o tranzactie de acoperire a riscului, toate schimbarile in valoarea sa justa sunt imediat recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere ca o componenta a venitului net din tranzactionare. Din aceasta categorie fac parte contractele de swap pe curs de schimb incheiate atat cu banca mama precum si cu alte institutii bancare.

3.13. CREDITE SI AVANSURI

Credite si avansurile sunt active fi nanciare nederivate cu plati fi xe sau determinabile care nu sunt cotate pe o piata activa si pe care Grupul nu intentioneaza sa le vanda imediat sau in perioada urmatoare. Creditele si avansurile sunt recunoscute initial la valoarea justa plus costurile directe aferente tranzactionarii si ulterior sunt masurate la cost amortizat folosind metoda dobanzii efective, cu exceptia cazului in care Grupul alege sa contabilizeze creditele si avansurile la valoare justa prin contul de profi t si pierdere, asa cum este prezentat in politica contabila. Creditele si avansurile sunt prezentate la valoarea neta dupa deducerea provizionului pentru depreciere. Acesta este inregistrat pe baza creditelor si avansurilor identifi cate ca fi ind depreciate pe baza evaluarii continue, pentru a aduce aceste active la valoarea lor recuperabila.

53

3.14. TITLURI DE VALOARE

Titlurile de valoare precum certifi catele de trezorerie emise de Guvernul Romaniei si certifi catele de depozit emise de Banca Nationala a Romaniei sunt clasifi cate ca: • titluri de valoare detinute pana la scadenta; • titluri de valoare disponibile pentru vanzare.

Valoarea justa a titlurile de valoare emise de Guvernul Romaniei pe piata locala a fost determinata pe baza cotatiilor din sistemul electronic de tranzactionare Safi r. Alte participatii in societati nelistate sunt clasifi cate ca active fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare si sunt inregistrate la valoarea lor justa. In cazul in care valoarea lor justa nu poate fi stabilita in mod credibil, participatiile sunt inregistrate la cost retratat mai putin provizionul pentru deprecierea valorii. Venitul din dobanda este recunoscut in contul de profi t si pierdere folosind rata de dobanda efectiva. Dividendele sunt recunoscute prin contul de profi t si pierdere atunci cand Grupul devine indreptatit sa primeasca dividende. Pierderile sau castigurile din diferentele de curs valutar corespunzatoare titlurilor de valoare disponibile pentru vanzare sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere.

Alte modifi cari ale valorii juste sunt recunoscute direct in capitaluri proprii pana cand investitia este vanduta sau depreciata si soldul valorii juste din capitaluri proprii este recunoscut in contul de profi t si pierderi.

3.15. IMOBILIZARI CORPORALE

3.15.1. Recunoastere si evaluare

Imobilizarile corporale sunt evidentiate la valoarea de achizitie sau la valoarea reevaluata mai putin amortizarea acumulata si provizionul din depreciere. Imobilizarile corporale au fost ajustate in functie de reevaluarile efectuate de Grup si dispuse prin acte normative. Costul de achizitie cuprinde pretul de cumparare, taxele nerecuperabile, cheltuielile de transport si alte cheltuieli accesorii necesare punerii in stare de functionare sau intrarii in gestiune a activului respectiv. Imobilizarile in curs nu sunt supuse amortizarii pana in momentul darii in folosinta.

3.15.2. Costurile ulterioare

Grupul recunoaste in valoarea contabila a unei imobilizari corporale costul de inlocuire a acesteia cand acest cost este suportat sau daca este probabil ca benefi ciile economice incluse in acea imobilizare se vor transfera Grupului si costul acestei imobilizari poate fi masurat in mod credibil. Toate celelalte cheltuieli sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere in momentul efectuarii lor.

Cheltuielile generate de inlocuirea unei componente a elementelor de imobilizari corporale care este evidentiata separat, inclusiv inspectii sau reparatii capitale, sunt capitalizate. Alte cheltuieli ulterioare sunt capitalizate in masura in care acestea imbunatatesc performantele viitoare ale acelor elemente de imobilizari corporale. Toate celelalte cheltuieli cu reparatiile si intretinerea sunt inregistrate in contul de profi t si pierdere in momentul efectuarii lor.

54

Castigurile si pierderile la scoaterea din uz a mijloacelor fi xe se determina prin raportare la valoarea lor neta contabila si se iau in considerare la determinarea profi tului din operatiuni. Elementele de imobilizari corporale care sunt casate sau cesionate sunt eliminate din bilant impreuna cu amortizarea cumulata corespunzatoare. Profi tul sau pierderea rezultate dintr-o asemenea operatiune se determina ca diferenta intre suma obtinuta si valoarea contabila neta si sunt incluse in profi tul din exploatare al perioadei. In cazurile in care parti ale unui activ corporal (componente majore) au durate de viata diferite, acestea se contabilizeaza ca elemente separate de imobilizari corporale

3.16. DEPRECIEREA IMOBILIZARILOR CORPORALE

Amortizarea este calculata prin metoda liniara pe perioada duratei de viata estimate pentru fi ecare element din categoria imobilizarilor. Terenurile nu sunt supuse amortizarii. Ratele de amortizare pe tipuri de categorii de imobilizari corporale sunt urmatoarele:

Cladiri in proprietatea Grupului 2% pe an

Cladiri cu chirie 10% - 20% pe an

Aparatura birotica si mobilier 10% pe an

Autovehicule 20% pe an

Echipamente IT 13% - 33% pe an

3.17. IMOBILIZARI NECORPORALE

3.17.1. Aplicatii informatice

Aplicatiile informatice achizitionate de catre Grup sunt evidentiate la cost, mai putin amortizarea acumulata si provizionul pentru deprecierea valorii. Cheltuiala cu aplicatiile informatice dezvoltate intern este recunoscuta ca imobilizare necorporala daca Grupul face dovada intentiei si capacitatii sale de a dezvolta si folosi aplicatia intr-o maniera ce-i va aduce benefi cii economice viitoare si daca cheltuielile cu dezvlotarea aplicatiilor pot fi estimate intr-o maniera rezonabila. Costurile cu aplicatiile informatice dezvoltate intern capitalizate includ toate costurile direct atribuibile dezvoltarii aplicatiilor si se amortizeaza pe durata de viata. Aplicatiile informatice dezvoltate intern sunt evidentiate la costul capitalizat, din care se deduce amortizarea cumulata si provizionul pentru deprecierea valorii. Cheltuielile ulterioare cu aplicatiile informatice se capitalizeaza doar atunci cand contribuie la sporirea benefi ciilor economice viitoare care decurg din folosirea respectivelor active. Toate celelalte cheltuieli sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere pe masura ce sunt efectuate. Amortizarea se recunoaste in contul de profi t si pierdere liniar, pe toata durata de functionare a aplicatiei informatice, incepand cu data la care aplicatia este pusa in functiune. Durata de viata estimata a aplicatiilor informatice este de 3 ani.

55

3.18. ACTIVE UTILIZATE IN LEASING FINANCIAR

Contractele de leasing ale Grupului care transfera locatarului in mod substantial toate riscurile si benefi ciile aferente proprietatii au fost clasifi cate drept leasing fi nanciar. Dupa recunoasterea initiala, platile de leasing sunt recunoscute la o valoare egala cu minimul dintre valoarea justa si valoarea actuala a platilor minime de leasing. Ulterior recunoasterii initiale, activul este contabilizat in conformitate cu politicile contabile aplicabile acelui activ.

3.19. DEPRECIEREA ACTIVELOR ALTELE DECAT ACTIVELE FINANCIARE

Valoarea contabila a activelor Grupului care nu sunt de natura fi nanciara, altele decat activele de natura impozitului amanat, sunt revizuite la fi ecare data de raportare pentru a depista indicii de depreciere. Daca exista asemenea indicii, se estimeaza valoarea recuperabila a activelor respective. O pierdere din depreciere este recunoscuta atunci cand valoarea contabila a activului sau unitatea sa generatoare de numerar depaseste valoarea sa recuperabila.

O unitate generatoare de numerar este cel mai mic grup identifi cabil care genereaza numerar si care este independent fata de alte active si alte grupuri. Pierderile din depreciere se recunosc in contul de profi t si pierdere.

Valoarea recuperabila a unui activ sau a unei unitati generatoare de numerar este maximul dintre valoarea de utilizare si valoarea sa justa mai putin costurile pentru vanzarea acelui activ sau unitati. Pentru determinarea valorii nete de utilizare, fl uxurile viitoare de numerar sunt actualizate folosind o rata de actualizare inainte de impozitare care refl ecta conditiile curente de piata si riscurile specifi ce activului respectiv.

Pierderile din depreciere recunoscute in perioadele precedente sunt evaluate la fi ecare data de raportare pentru a determina daca s-au diminuat sau nu mai exista. Pierderea din depreciere se reia daca s-a produs o schimbare in estimarile folosite pentru a determina valoarea de recuperare. Pierderea din depreciere se reia doar in cazul in care valoarea contabila a activului nu depaseste valoarea contabila care s-ar fi calculat, neta de amortizare si depreciere, daca pierderea din depreciere nu ar fi fost recunoscuta.

O pierdere din depreciere aferenta fondului comercial nu se reia intr-o perioada ulterioara. In cazul altor active, altele decat fondul comercial, pierderile generate de deprecierea valorii sunt reluate daca a existat o modifi care in estimarile utilizate in determinarea valorii recuperabile. O pierdere din deprecierea valorii activelor este reluata numai in situatia in care valoarea contabila a activului nu depaseste valoarea contabila care ar fi fost determinata, neta de amortizare sau depreciere, in cazul in care nici o pierdere din depreciere nu ar fi fost recunoscuta.

3.20. DEPOZITE ALE CLIENTILOR

Depozitele clientilor sunt recunoscute initial la valoarea justa inclusiv costurile aferente tranzactiei si masurate ulterior la cost amortizat folosind metoda ratei efective de dobanda.

56

3.21. PROVIZIOANE

Sunt recunoscute in bilant pe baza estimarii cheltuielilor necesare stingerii obligatiei prezente la data bilantului. Provizioanele sunt revazute la fi ecare data a bilantului si ajustate astfel incat sa refl ecte cea mai buna estimare curenta. Provizionul este folosit numai pentru cheltuielile pentru care provizionul a fost recunoscut initial.

3.22. IMPRUMUTURI DE LA BANCI SI INSTITUTII FINANCIARE

Imprumuturile de la banci si alte institutii fi nanciare emise sunt recunoscute initial la valoare justa ca fi ind incasarile din aceste instrumente (valoarea justa a consideratiei primite) nete de costurile aferente tranzactiei. Imprumuturile de la alte banci si alte institutii fi nanciare sunt ulterior inregistrate la cost amortizat. Grupul clasifi ca aceste instrumentele ca datorii fi nanciare sau capitaluri proprii in conformitate cu termenii contractuali ai instrumentului respectiv.

3.23. GARANTII FINANCIARE

Garantiile fi nanciare sunt contracte prin care Grupul isi asuma un angajament de a efectua plati specifi ce catre detinatorul garantiei fi nanciare pentru a compensa pierderea suferita de detinator in cazul in care un debitor anume nu reuseste sa efectueze plata la scadenta in conformitate cu termenii prevazuti in prospectul unui instrument de datorie.

Datoria aferenta garantiilor fi nanciare este recunoscuta initial la valoarea justa, si aceasta este amortizata pe durata de viata a garantiei fi nanciare. Datoria aferenta garantiilor fi nanciare este evaluata ulterior la valoarea cea mai mare dintre costul amortizat al acesteia si valoarea actualizata a platilor estimate a se realiza (atunci cand plata aferenta garantiei a devenit probabila).

Grupul a inclus in politica sa de creditare produsul de risk sharing participand la riscul in legatura cu credite acordate de alte institutii fi nanciare internationale unor clienti romani. In aceasta relatie contractuala Grupul garanteaza suportarea partiala sau totala a pierderilor care ar putea interveni in cazul neplatii de catre imprumutat a sumelor datorate de acesta, in schimbul unor comisioane de participare la risc. De asemenea Grupul primeste, in schimbul angajamentului de garantare, ponderea aferenta propriei participari din dobanda primita de catre institutia fi nanciara internationala din care au fost anterior deduse costurile de lichiditate ale institutiei fi nanciare internationale, precum si o suma proportionala cu riscul asumat din totalitatea veniturilor recuperate de institutia fi nanciara in caz de executare a garantiilor.

3.24. BENEFICIILE ANGAJATILOR

3.24.1. Benefi cii pe termen scurt

Obligatiile cu benefi ciile pe termen scurt acordate angajatilor nu se actualizeaza si sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere pe masura ce serviciul aferent este prestat. Benefi ciile pe termen scurt ale angajatilor includ salariile, primele si contributiile la asigurarile sociale. Benefi ciile pe termen scurt ale angajatilor sunt recunoscute ca si cheltuiala atunci cand serviciile sunt prestate.

57

3.24.2. Planuri de contributii determinate

Banca si fi liala sa, efectueaza plati in numele angajatilor proprii catre sistemul de pensii al statului roman, asigurarile de sanatate si fondul de somaj, in decursul derularii activitatii normale. Toti angajatii bancii si ai fi lialelor sunt membrii si de asemenea au obligatia legala de a contribui (prin intermediul contributiilor sociale) la sistemul de pensii al statului roman. Toate contributiile aferente sunt recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere al perioadei, atunci cand sunt efectuate. Banca si fi lialele sale nu au alte obligatii suplimentare. Banca si fi lialele sale nu sunt angajate in nici un sistem de pensii independent si, in consecinta, nu au nici un fel de alte obligatii in acest sens. Banca si fi lialele sale nu sunt angajate in nici un alt sistem de benefi cii post pensionare. Banca si fi lialele sale nu au obligatia de a presta servicii ulterioare fostilor sau actualilor salariati.

3.25. RAPORTAREA PE SEGMENTE

Un segment este o componenta distincta a Grupului care furnizeaza anumite produse si servicii (segment de activitate) sau furnizeaza produse si servicii intr-un anumit mediu geografi c (segment geografi c) si care este supus la riscuri si benefi cii diferite de cele ale celorlalte segmente. Formatul principal de raportare pe segmente al Grupului este reprezentat de segmentarea pe activitati

3.26. STANDARDE, INTERPRETARI SI AMENDAMENTE LA STANDARDELE INTERNATIONALE DE RAPORTARE FINANCIARA CARE NU SUNT INCA IN VIGOARE

Anumite standarde noi, amendamente si interpretari la standardele deja existente au fost publicate si sunt necesare a fi aplicate pentru perioadele incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009, sau perioadele ulterioare, iar Grupul nu le-a adoptat inca. Conducerea a considerat relevante urmatoarele standarde noi, amendamente si interpretari la standardele deja existente:

3.26.1. Amendamente la IFRS 2 “Plata pe baza de actiuni” si IFRIC 11 IFRS 2

Tranzactii cu actiunile grupului si cu actiuni proprii. Acesta solicita atribuirea de plati pe baza de actiuni si efectuate in numerar de catre societatea mama catre furnizorii de bunuri si servicii (inclusiv angajatii) ai unei fi liale in situatiile fi nanciare ale fi lialei. IASB nu a specifi cat o data propusa de incepere a aplicarii, dar a propus ca amendamentul sa fi e aplicat retroactiv conform cerintelor de tranzitie la IFRS. Acest amendament la IFRS 2 nu este in prezent aplicabil operatiunilor Grupului pentru ca Grupul nu este angajat in programe de benefi cii cu plata pe baza de actiuni.

3.26.2. IFRS 3 (revizuit) “Combinari de inteprinderi” (aplicabil incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

Standardul revizuit include o serie de schimbari potential semnifi cative inclusiv:

a) Toate elementele trasferate de catre cumparator sunt recunoscute si masurate la valoarea justa de la data achizitiei, cuprinzand si contingentele transferate; b) Consturile de tranzactie nu sunt incluse in contabilizarea achizitiei;

58

c) Cumparatorul poate alege sa masoare orice interes fara control la valoarea justa la data achizitiei (fond comercial total), sau la interesul proportional din valoarea justa a activelor si datoriilor identifi cabile ale partii achizitionate;d) Achizitionarea unor interese fara control aditional dupa combinarea de inteprinderi trebuie sa fi e contabilizata ca o achizitie de participatie. Grupul nu a fi nalizat inca analiza impactului viitor al revizuirii acestui standard asupra metodei sale de contabilizare a combinarilor de inteprinderi dupa aplicarea acestui standard revizuit.

3.26.3. IAS 1 ( revizuit) “Prezentarea situatiilor financiare – prezentari ale capitalurilor” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009).

Standardul revizuit cere ca informatiile din situatiile fi nanciare sa fi e grupate pe baza unor caracteristici comune si introduce Situatia profi tului cuprinzator. Elementele de venituri si cheltuieli si componetele altor profi turi cuprinzatoare pot fi prezentate fi e intr-o singura situatie a profi tului cuprinzator cu subtotaluri, sau in doua situatii separate (o situatie a contului de profi t si pierdere urmat de o situatie a profi tului cuprinzator). Grupul evalueaza momentan daca sa prezinte o singura situatie a profi tului cuprinzator, sau doua situatii separate.

3.26.4. IAS 23 (modificat) “Costurile indatorarii” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

Acesta cere unei entitati sa capitalizeze costurile indatorarii care sunt direct atribuibile achizitionarii, construirii sau producerii unui activ califi cabil (un activ care necesita o perioada substantiala de timp pentru a fi gata in vederea utilizarii sau pentru vanzare) ca parte componenta a costului pentru activul respectiv. Optiunea de recunoastere a costurilor indatorarii ca o cheltuiala in perioada in care ele au aparut, va fi eliminata. Grupul va aplica IAS 23 (modifi cat), daca va fi cazul, incepand din 1 ianuarie 2009. In prezent acesta nu este aplicabil Grupului deoarece nu exista active califi cabile.

Anumite standarde noi, amendamente si interpretari ale standardelor existente nu sunt in vigoare pentru exercitiului fi nanciar incheiat la 31 decembrie 2008 si nu au fost aplicate in intocmirea acestor situatiilor fi nanciare.

3.26.5. Amendamentul la IFRS 2 “Plata pe baza de actiuni” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

Amendamentele la acest standard clarifi ca defi nitia conditiilor pentru intrarea in drepturi si introduce conceptul de neintrare in drepturi. Conditiile de neintrare in drepturi vor fi incluse in valoarea justa la data acordarii iar imposibilitatea indeplinirii conditiilor de neintrare in drepturi va duce in general la tratarea acestora ca anulare. Amendamentele la IFRS 2 nu sunt relevante pentru operatiunile Grupului deoarece Grupul nu are planuri de compensare pe baza de actiuni

3.26.6. IFRS 3 (revizuit) “ Combinari de inteprinderi” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 iulie 2009)

Domeniul de aplicare a standardului revizuit a fost modifi cat si defi nitia afacerii a fost extinsa. Standardul revizuit include o serie de modifi cari potential semnifi cative inclusiv:

a) toate elementele trasferate de catre cumparator sunt recunoscute si masurate la valoarea justa de la data achizitiei, inclusiv contingentele transferate;

59

b) modifi carile ulterioare in contingentele transferate vor fi recunoscute in contul de profi t si pierdere;c) costurile de tranzactie, altele decat costurile de emitere a actiunilor si datoriilor, vor fi recunoscute ca o cheltuiala;d) cumparatorul poate alege sa masoare orice interese fara control la valoarea justa la data achizitiei (fond comercial total), sau la interesul proportional din valoarea justa a activelor si datoriilor identifi cabile ale partii achizitionate.

Intrucat standardul revizuit nu va fi aplicat in combinari de intreprinderi inainte de data de aplicare, standardul revizuit probabil nu va avea nici un impact asupra situatiilor fi nanciare cu privire la combinarile de intreprinderi ce au loc inainte de data de aplicare a standardului revizuit.

3.26.7. IAS 23 (modificat), „Costurile indatorarii” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

revizuit elimina optiunea de a inregistra ca si cheltuiala costurile indatorarii si solicita unei entitati capitalizarea costurilor indatorarii care sunt direct atribuibile unui activ eligibil (un activ care necesita o perioada substantiala de timp pentru a fi gata in vederea utilizarii sau pentru vanzare). In prezent acesta nu este aplicabil Grupului intrucat acesta nu detine active eligibile.

3.26.8. IFRS 8 “Segmente de activitate” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

Acest standard introduce “abordarea managementului“ pentru segmentele de raportare si solicita prezentarea segmentelor pe baza componentelor entitatii pe care managementul le monitorizeaza in a lua decizii operationale. Segmentele operationale sunt componentele entitatii despre care sunt disponibile informatii fi nanciare distincte, analizate regulat de catre managementul in vederea alocarii resurselor si evaluarii performantei fi ecarui segment. Impactul aplicarii acestui standard este inca analizat de Grup.

3.26.9. IAS 1 (revizuit) „Prezentarea situatiilor financiare” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

Standardul revizuit cere ca informatiile din situatiile fi nanciare sa fi e grupate pe baza unor caracteristici comune si introduce Situatia profi tului cuprinzator. Elementele de venituri si cheltuieli si alte componente ale profi tului cuprinzator pot fi prezentate fi e intr-o singura situatie a profi tului cuprinzator (care combina in mod unitar contul de profi t si pierdere si toate modifi carile in capitaluri, altele decat cele cu actionarii in capacitatea lor de actionari, intr-o singura situatie), sau in doua situatii separate (o situatie separata a contului de profi t si pierdere, urmata de o situatie a profi tului cuprinzator). In prezent Grupul evalueaza posibilitatea prezentarii unei singure situatii a profi tului cuprinzator sau a doua situatii separate.

3.26.10. Amendamente la IAS 27, “Situatiile financiare consolidate si individuale“ (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009))

Amendamentele elimina defi nitia de „metoda a costurilor” in prezent prevazuta in IAS 27 si in schimb cere ca toate dividendele unei fi liale, unei entitati controlate in comun sau unei entitati asociate sa fi e recunoscute ca venituri in situatiile fi nanciare individuale ale investitorului cand dreptul de a primi dividendul este stabilit. In plus, amendamentele ofera indrumare in cazul in care venitul din dividende este considerat a fi un indicator de depreciere. Amendamentle la IAS 27 nu vor avea un impact asupra acestor situatii fi nanciare; cand vor intra in vigoare aceste amendamente vor fi aplicate prospectiv.

60

3.26.11. IAS 27 (revizuit) “Situatiile financiare consolidate si situatii financiare individuale“ (data de aplicare incepand 1 ianuarie 2009)

In standardul revizuit termenul de interes minoritar a fost inlocuit de interes fara control, si este defi nit ca “ participatia intr-o fi liala care nu este atribuibila, direct sau indirect unei companii mama”. Standardul revizuit modifi ca si contabilizarea interesului fara control, pierderea controlului intr-o fi liala, si alocarea profi tului sau pierderii si a altor profi turi cuprinzatoare intre interesul cu sau fara control

IAS 27 revizuit nu este relevant pentru operatiunile Grupului deoarece Grupul nu are interese in fi liale ce vor fi afectate de revizuirea acestui standard.

3.26.12. IAS 32 (modificat)„Instrumente financiare: prezentare si descriere“ si IAS 1, “Cadrul general pentru intocmirea si prezentarea situatiilor financiare anuale“ (data de aplicare 1 Ianuarie 2009).

Amedamentele introduc o exceptie pricipiului aplicabil in IAS 32 referitor la clasifi carea instrumentelor de capitaluri proprii; amendamentul permite unor instrumente livrabile emise de o entitate care in mod normal ar fi clasifi cate ca si datorii sa fi e clasifi cate ca si elemente de capitaluri proprii daca si numai daca acestea indeplinesc anumite conditii. Aceste amendamente nu sunt relevante pentru situatiile fi nanciare ale Grupului deoarece nici o entitate a Grupului nu a emis in trecut instrumente livrabile care ar putea fi afectate de aceste amendamente.

3.26.13. IAS 39 (modificat) „Instrumente financiare: Recunoastere si evaluare” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 iulie 2009)

Amendamentul standardului clarifi ca aplicarea principiilor existente ce determina daca riscurile specifi ce sau cota parte din cash – fl ow sunt eligibile pentru a indica o relatie de acoperire. In indicarea relatiei de acoperire riscurile sau cota parte trebuie sa fi e separat identifi cabile si masurate cu precizie; totusi infl atia nu poate fi indicata, cu exceptia anumitor circumstante. Amendamentul IAS 39 nu este relevant pentru Grup intrucat aceasta nu aplica contabilitatea de acoperire.

3.26.14. IAS 40 „Investitii imobiliare”, revizuit (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

IAS 40 este modifi cat pentru a include proprietatile imobiliare in constructie sau dezvoltare pentru utilizarea ulterioara ca si investitii imobiliare. Astfel, proprietatile imobiliare sunt incluse in scopul lui IAS 40; anterior acestea erau in scopul lui IAS 16.

3.26.15. IFRIC 13 “Programele de fidelizare a clientilor” (data de aplicare incepand cu 1 iulie 2008)

Interpretarile explica modul in care entitatile ce acorda facilitati de fi delizare a clientilor care cumpara bunuri si servicii trebuie sa isi inregistreze obligatiile de acordare a bunurilor si serviciilor gratuite sau cu discount clientilor eligibili pentru aceste facilitati. Entitatile sunt obligate sa aloce o parte a vanzarii initiale catre facilitatea de fi delizare si sa recunoasca acesta parte ca venit atunci cand si-au indeplinit obligatiile. Grupul estimeaza ca aceasta interpretare nu are un impact asupra situatiilor fi nanciare intrucat nu deruleaza programe de fi delizare a clientilor

61

3.26.16. IFRIC 15 „Contracte de constructie a proprietatilor imobiliare” (aplicabil incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2009)

IFRIC 15 atesta ca veniturile care decurg din contracte de construire a proprietatilor imobiliare sunt recunoscute in relatie cu stadiul de executie a contractului de activitate in urmatoarele cazuri:

a) contractul indeplineste defi nitia contractului de constructie in conformitate cu IAS 11.3;b) contractul este doar pentru prestarea de servicii in conformitate cu IAS 18 (ex. entitatii nu i s-a cerut sa furnizeze materiale de constructii); c) contractul este pentru vanzarea de bunuri dar criteriile de recunoastere a veniturilor in conformitate cu IAS 18.14 sunt indeplinite in mod continuu pe masura ce constructia inainteaza.

In toate celelalte cazuri venitul este recunoscut cand toate criteriile de recunoastere a veniturilor in conformitate cu IAS 18.14 sunt satisfacute (de exemplu la terminarea constructiei sau la livrare). IFRIC 15 nu e relevant operatiunilor pe care le desfasoara Grupul intrucat Grupul nu ofera servicii de constructie a proprietatilor imobiliare.

3.26.17. IFRIC 16 „Acoperirea investitiei nete in operatiuni straine” (aplicabil din 1 octombrie 2008)

Interpretarea explica tipul de expunere ce poate fi acoperita, unde in cadrul unui grup elementul acoperit va fi tinut, daca metoda de consolidare afecteaza efi cienta operatiunilor de acoperire, forma pe care instrumentul de acoperire o poate lua si ce sume sunt reclasifi cate din capitaluri in contul de profi t si pierdere la vanzarea operatiunilor straine. Standardul nu este aplicabil Grupului.

3.26.18. IFRIC 17 „Distribuirea activelor nemonetare actionarilor” (aplicabil prospectiv incepand cu 15 iulie 2009)

Interpretarea se aplica distribuirilor ne-reciproce de active nemonetare actionarilor in capacitatea lor de actionari. Conform interpretarii o datorie de a plati un dividend trebuie recunoscuta atunci cand distribuirea dividendului este autorizata adecvat si nu mai este la dispozitia entitatii si va fi masurat la valoarea justa a activelor ce urmeaza a fi distribuite. Valoarea dividendului de platit trebuie sa fi e masurata la fi ecare data de raportare, iar modifi carile in valoarea vor fi recunoscute in capitaluri ca ajustare la valoarea distribuita. Cand dividendul este stabilit, diferenta, daca exista, dintre valoarea activului distribuit si valoarea dividendului de plata trebuie inregistrata in contul de profi t si pierdere. Cum interpretarea este aplicabila doar din 15 iulie 2009, nu va impacta situatiile fi nanciare anterioare datei de aplicare a acestei interpretari.

62

4.1. INTRODUCERE

Grupul este expus urmatoarelor riscuri ca rezultat al folosirii instrumentelor fi nanciare: • Riscul de credit• Riscul de lichiditate• Riscul de piata• Riscul aferent impozitarii• Riscul operational

Aceasta nota prezinta informatii referitoare la expunerea Grupului fata de fi ecare risc mentionat mai sus, obiectivele Grupului, politicile si procesele de evaluare si gestionare a riscului. Cele mai importante riscuri fi nanciare la care este expus Grupul sunt riscul de credit, riscul de lichiditate si riscul de piata. Riscul de piata include riscul valutar si riscul de rata a dobanzii precum si riscul de pret al instrumentelor de capital.

4.1.1. Cadrul gestionarii riscurilor

Directoratul Volksbank Romania S.A are o responsabilitate generala in ceea ce priveste stabilirea si monitorizarea cadrului general pentru managementul riscurilor in Grup. Directoratul a delegat responsabilitati pentru dezvoltarea si monitorizarea politicilor de gestionare a riscului Grupului in domenii specifi ce de expertiza catre Comitetul pentru Administrarea Activelor si Pasivelor (ALCO), Comitetul de Risc si Comitetul de Credite.

Politicile Grupului de gestionare a riscului sunt stabilite pentru a identifi ca si analiza riscurile la care este expus Grupul, pentru a stabili limitele adecvate de risc si control, si a monitoriza riscurile si respectarea limitelor de risc. Politicile si sistemul de gestionare a riscurilor sunt revizuite periodic pentru a refl ecta schimbarile in conditiile pietii, produselor si serviciilor oferite. Grupul isi propune sa dezvolte un mediu de control disciplinat si constructiv, in care toti angajatii isi inteleg rolurile si obligatiile, prin intermediul cursurilor de instruire, standardelor si procedurilor de conducere implementate.

Comitetul de Audit raporteaza Directoratului si are responsabilitatea de a monitoriza respectarea procedurilor de gestiune ale riscului. Comitetul de Audit este asistat in indeplinirea functiilor sale de catre Auditul Intern. Auditul Intern efectueaza atat revizuiri regulate cat si ad-hoc asupra controalelor si procedurilor de gestiune a riscurilor, iar rezultatele revizuirilor sunt raportate Comitetului de Audit si Consiliului de Supraveghere.

4.2. RISCUL DE CREDIT

4.2.1. Gestionarea riscului de credit

Grupul este expus la riscul de credit atat prin activitatile sale de tranzactionare, creditare si investitie cat si prin situatiile in care actioneaza ca intermediar in numele clientilor sau a tertelor parti sau in calitatea sa de emitent de garantii. Riscul de credit asociat activitatilor de tranzactionare si investitie este gestionat prin intermediul proceselor de management al riscului de piata ale Grupului. Riscul este diminuat prin selectarea unor parteneri cu performante fi nanciare solide, prin monitorizarea activitatii acestora, prin folosirea de limite de expunere si, acolo unde este necesar, prin solicitarea de garantii.

4 . P O L I T I C I D E G E S T I O N A R E A R I S C U LU I F I N A N C I A R

63

Expunerea cea mai mare a Grupului la riscul de credit ia nastere din acordarea de credite si avansuri clientilor. In acest caz, expunerea este reprezenta de valoarea contabila a activelor din bilant. Grupul este expus la riscul de credit pe diferite alte active fi nanciare, incluzand instrumente derivate si de datorie, expunerea in cazul acestor instrumente fi ind egala cu valoarea contabila a acestora prezentata in bilant. Pe langa cele mentionate mai sus, Grupul este expus la riscul de credit extrabilantier, din angajamentele de fi nantare si emiterea de garantii (vezi Nota 31).

Pentru a minimiza riscul, Grupul are anumite proceduri menite sa evalueze clientii inaintea acordarii creditelor, sa monitorizeze capacitatea acestora de a rambursa principalul si dobanzile aferente pe perioada derularii imprumuturilor si sa stabileasca limite de expunere.

O divizie distincta de Risc, care raporteaza Vicepresedintelui de Risc este responsabila cu supravegherea riscului de credit al Grupului, incluzand:

a) Formularea politicilor de credit prin acoperirea cerintelor pentru garantii, evaluarea creditului, clasificarea si raportarea riscului, proceduri legale si de documentare, si conformitatea cu cerintele statutare regulatorii;

b) Stabilirea structurii de autorizare a aprobarii si reinnoirii facilitatilor de credit. Limitele de autorizare sunt alocate pe nivele ale comitetului de credit. Facilitatile de credit de valori mai mari necesita aprobarea celui mai inalt nivel al Comitetului de Credit;

c) Revizuirea si evaluarea riscului de credit. Comitetul de Credit evalueaza toate expunerile de credit mai mari de limitele stabilite, inainte ca facilitatile sa fie aprobate sau supuse spre aprobare de catre Directorat sau acordate cilentilor. Reinnoirea si revizuirea facilitatilor se supune aceluiasi proces de evaluare;

d) Limitarea concentrarii expunerii pe terti, arii geografice si industrii (pentru credite si avansuri acordate clientilor), pe emitent si pe rating;

e) Dezvoltarea si mentinerea sistemelor de rating pentru a clasifica expunerile in functie de nivelurile de risc ale potentialelor pierderi financiare si pentru a se permite conducerii sa se concentreze pe riscurile care le insotesc. Sistemul de rating este folosit pentru a determina daca sunt necesare provizioanele pentru depreciere pentru anumite expuneri de credit. Sistemul de rating reflecta diverse nivele ale riscului de neplata. Sistemele de rating sunt implementate in aplicatii integrate la nivel de grup. Sistemele de rating sunt mentinute centralizat de banca mama in colaborare cu expertii locali;

f) Revizuirea, verificarea conformitatii cu limitele de expunere stabilite, inclusiv cele pentru industrii si produse specifice;

g) Raportari periodice despre calitatea portofoliului de credite sunt transmise la Comitetul de Risc si sunt luate masuri adecvate;

h) Furnizarea de informatii, indrumari si expertize sucursalelor, agentiilor si departamentelor implicate in riscul de credit pentru a promova practica cea mai adecvata in Grup in ceea ce priveste gestionarea riscului de credit.

64

Implementarea politicilor de credit si a procedurilor este realizata la nivel centralizat. Fiecare sucursala/ agentie trebuie sa implementeze politicile si procedurile de credit ale Grupului. Fiecare sucursala este responsabila de calitatea si performanta portofoliului propriu de credite precum si de monitorizarea si controlul asupra tuturor riscurilor de credit din portofoliul lor, inclusiv cele supuse aprobarii in centrala.

Procesele de aprobare a creditelor si gestionare a creditelor pot fi descrise astfel:• Retail – procese si produse standard gestionate centralizat;• Corporate – procese si produse nonstandard gestionate centralizat.

Departamentul de Audit Intern efectueaza verifi cari periodice ale fi ecarei sucursale/ agentii.

4.2.2. Expunerea la riscul de credit

Concentrarile de risc de credit semnifi cative iau nastere pe tipuri de clienti in functie de creditele si avansurile acordate de Grup si angajamentele de credit luate.

Concentrarea riscului de credit aferent instrumentelor fi nanciare exista pentru grupe de clienti sau alti terti care prezinta caracteristici economice similare si a caror capacitate de rambursare a creditelor este similar afectata de schimbarile in mediul economic. Principala concentrare a riscului de credit deriva din expunerea bruta individuala si pe categorii de clienti in ceea ce priveste creditele si avansurile acordate de Grup, angajamentele de extindere a facilitatilor si garantiile emise.

In tabelul de mai jos sunt prezentate concentrarile de risc generate de credite pe sectoare economice.

La 31 decembrie 2008, totalul expunerilor bilantiere si extrabilantiere era de 14.274.588.591 RON (31 decembrie 2007: 8.825.646.134 RON).

Sumele refl ectate in paragraful anterior reprezinta pierderea contabila maxima care ar fi recunoscuta la data raportarii daca clientii ar inceta sa mai respecte termenii contractuali iar orice garantie nu ar mai avea valoare. Valorile prezentate depasesc asadar cu mult pierderile estimate si incluse in provizionul pentru credite constituit.

Grupul detine garantii pentru creditele si avansurile acordate clientilor sub forma de depozite colaterale, ipoteci asupra proprietatilor imobiliare, garantii si alte gajuri asupra echipamentelor sau sumelor de bani viitoare. Estimarile de valoare justa iau in calcul valoarea garantiei evaluata la data imprumutului si, in general, estimarile nu sunt revizuite decat in cazul in care imprumutul este testat individual pentru depreciere. Grupul nu a retinut garantii pentru creditele si avansurile acordate bancilor.

Grupul reevalueaza intern cel putin anual garantiile ipotecare atasate creditelor Corporate si cel putin o data la trei ani cele atasate creditelor Retail. Piata imobiliara din Romania a avut un declin pronuntat in cursul anului 2008. Grupul este in proces de realizare a unui studiu privind evolutia pietei imobiliare si va ajusta in continuare ratele de pierdere aferente garantiilor imobiliare pe baza rezultatelor acestuia, daca va fi cazul.

Grupul scoate din evidenta contabila un credit/ un instrument fi nanciar (si provizioanele pentru depreciere aferente) la momentul la care se considera ca activul este nerecuperabil. Se ajunge la aceasta concluzie dupa evaluarea schimbarilor semnifi cative care au avut loc in pozitia fi nanciara a imprumutatului/ emitentului, schimbari ce au determinat imposibilitatea de plata a obligatiei sau insufi cienta sumelor din recuperarea garantiilor de a acoperi intreaga expunere.

Grupul foloseste rating-uri interne utilizate in procesul de acordare a creditelor atat pentru creditele testate individual cat si pentru cele evaluate colectiv.

Expunerile la riscul de credit in functie de rating-urile creditelor si avansurilor acordate clientilor la 31 decembrie 2008 si 2007 sunt prezentate in continuare.

* Categoria „Fara rating” cuprinde persoane fi zice si intreprinderi foarte mici (microintreprinderi) pentru care Grupul nu aplica modelele de rating.** Pentru aceste expuneri nu a fost considerat necesara constituirea unui provizion datorita garantiilor furnizate.

Creditele si avansurile acordate bancilor in valoare de 26.188.976 RON (2007: 20.350.200 RON) precum si titlurile de valoare in suma de 68.884.552 RON (2007: 31.112.152 RON) sunt incadrate toate in categoria „nici restante, nici provizionate”.

Grupul a acordat in 2008 credite clientilor cu rating intre 1A si 4B ce au generat expuneri (bilantiere si extrabilantiere) in suma totala de 5.911.864.766 RON.

Pentru corporatii, intreprinderi medii si mici, institutii fi nanciare, autoritati locale si centrale, Grupul foloseste sisteme de rating utilizate in procesul de aprobare a creditelor atat pentru creditele testate individual cat si pentru cele evaluate colectiv.

Grupul detine garantii pentru credite si avansuri acordate clientelei sub forma depozitelor bancare, ipoteci asupra proprietatilor imobiliare, garantii si alte gajuri asupra echipamentelor si / sau alte creante. Banca nu a preluat in activul propriu in anul 2008 garantii executate.

69

Credite si avansuri acordate clientilor depreciate

Creditele si avansurile acordate clientilor depreciate sunt acelea pentru care Grupul considera ca este probabil ca nu putea colecta principalul si dobanda de plata in conformitate cu termenii contractuali ai contractului de credit.

Credite restante dar fara provizion

Creditele si avansurile acordate clientilor, pentru care dobanda si principalul de plata sunt restante dar Grupul considera ca nu este cazul sa le deprecieze datorita valorii garantiei/ colateralului disponibil si/ sau a gradului de colectare a sumelor datorate Grupului.

Credite cu termeni de renegociere

Creditele cu termeni de negociere sunt acele credite care au fost restructurate datorita deteriorarii pozitiei fi nanciare a debitorului.

Provizioane de depreciere

Grupul stabileste un provizion pentru depreciere care reprezinta o estimare a unei pierderi din valoarea portofoliului de credite. Componentele principale ale acestui provizion sunt o componenta specifi ca de risc care se refera la expuneri individuale si o componenta colectiva stabilita pentru un grup de active omogene din punctul de vedere al pierderilor care au fost realizate, dar care nu au fost identifi cate asupra creditelor care pot fi subiectul deprecierii individuale.

Politica de scoatere in afara bilantului

Grupul scoate in afara bilantului un credit /titlu (si orice pierderi din depreciere legate de acestea) atunci cand Comitetul de risc al Grupului/ Directoratul stabileste ca aceste credite nu pot fi recuperate. Se ajunge la aceasta concluzie dupa evaluarea schimbarilor semnifi cative care au avut loc in performanta fi nanciara a emitentului/ imprumutatului, schimbari ce au determinat imposibilitatea de plata a obligatiei sau insufi cienta sumelor din recuperarea garantiilor in vederea acoperirii intregii expuneri

70

Concentrarea pe regiuni geografi ce a expunerilor bilantiere si extrabilantiere rezultate din credite si avansuri acordate clientilor este detaliata mai jos:

Regiune 31 decembrie 2008 31 decembrie 2007

Alba Iulia 3% 3%

Baia Mare 1% 1%

Brasov 4% 4%

Bucuresti 51% 51%

Suceava 2% 2%

Targu Mures 1% 0%

TOTAL 100% 100%

Concentrarea geografi ca ridicata se datoreaza faptului ca mai mult de jumatate din portofoliu de credite si avansuri acordate clientilor o reprezinta expunerile pe Bucuresti. Acest lucru nu este privit ca un risc avand in vedere faptul ca aproximativ 50% din intermedierile fi nanciare ca parte a produsului intern brut sunt concentrate in Bucuresti. Structura portofoliului de credite este astfel apropiata de structura existenta la nivel national.

4.3. RISCUL DE RATA A DOBANZII

Grupul se confrunta cu riscul de dobanda in principal datorita expunerii la fl uctuatiile nefavorabile ale ratei dobanzii pe piata. Principalele surse ale riscului de dobanda sunt reprezentate de corelatiile imperfecte dintre data maturitatii (pentru ratele fi xe de dobanda) sau data actualizarii pretului (pentru ratele de dobanda variabile) aferente activelor si pasivelor purtatoare de dobanda, evolutia adversa a curbei ratei randamentului (evolutia neparalela a randamentului ratelor de dobanda a activelor si pasivelor purtatoare de dobanda), corelatia imperfecta in ajustarea ratelor castigate si platite pentru diferite instrumente fi nanciare cu caracteristici de actualizare a pretului asemanatoare

Volksbank Romania S.A. evaluaza si gestioneaza riscul de rata de dobanda prin monitorizarea limitei, pe care impactul unei variatii paralele a curbelor de rata de dobanda cu 200 de puncte de baza, il va avea asupra profi tului pe urmatorul an. Volksbank Romania S.A. masoara riscul de rata a dobanzii prin metoda GAP. Aceasta metoda nu poate lua insa in calcul faptul ca Volksbank Romania S.A. poate schimba rata dobanzii la creditele cu dobanda fi xa. Activitatile de gestionare a activelor si datoriilor purtatoare de dobanda se desfasoara in contextul expunerii Grupului la fl uctuatiile ratei dobanzii

71

Grupul incearca sa metina o pozitie neta pozitiva pentru instrumentele fi nanciare purtatoare de dobanda. Pentru a putea atinge acest obiectiv, Grupul foloseste un mix de instrumente fi nanciare purtatoare de dobanda fi xa si variabila, pentru care incearca sa controleze necorelarea intre datele la care dobanda activa si dobanda pasiva sunt actualizate la rata de piata sau intre datele de maturitate ale instrumentelor active si pasive.

Ratele de dobanda pentru moneda locala si principalele monede straine la 31 decembrie 2008 si 2007 au fost urmatoarele:

4.4. RISCUL VALUTAR

Grupul este expus riscului valutar prin tranzactiile de schimb valutar pe care le realizeaza. Exista de asemenea un risc bilantier legat de posibilitatea cresterii datoriilor monetare nete in valuta ca urmare a fl uctuatiilor cursului de schimb.

Principalele valute deţinute de Grup sunt RON, EUR si CHF. Romania continua sa prezinte unele fl uctuaţii de moneda. Grupul isi administreaza expunerea la fl uctuatiile ratei de schimb. Pozitiile valutare deschise reprezintă o sursa de risc de schimb valutar. Pentru a evita pierderile care decurg din miscarile cursului de schimb, Grupul aplica in prezent o politica generala de mentinere pozitie de schimb valutar, apropiata de zero

4.5. RISCUL DE LICHIDITATE

Riscul de lichiditate este generat de politica de atragere de resurse fi nanciare si de gestionare a pozitiilor bilantiere de active. Acesta include atat riscul ca Grupul sa intampine difi cultati in procurarea fondurilor necesare pentru refi nantarea activelor la scadentele aferente cat si riscul rezultand din incapacitatea de a colecta un activ la o valoare apropriata de valoarea sa justa, intr-o perioada de timp rezonabila.

Grupul are acces la surse de fi nantare diversifi cate. Fondurile sunt atrase printr-o gama vasta de instrumente incluzand depozite, imprumuturi si capital social. Aceasta imbunatateste fl exibilitatea atragerii de fonduri, limiteaza dependenta fata de un singur tip de fi nantare si conduce la o scadere generala a costurilor implicate de atragerea de fonduri.

Grupul incearca sa mentina un echilibru intre continuitatea si fl exibilitatea atragerii de fonduri, prin contractarea de datorii cu scadente diferite. Grupul controleaza in permanenta riscul de lichiditate identifi cand si monitorizand modifi carile de fi nantari si diversifi cand baza de fi nantare.Banca evalueaza situatia lichiditatii sale prin teste de rezistenta (stress test).

Activele si datoriile monetare ale Grupului analizate in functie de durata ramasa de la 31 decembrie 2008 pana la data scadentei sunt urmatoarele:

4.6. RISCUL DE PIATA

Riscul de piata se refera la pierderile potentiale ce pot apare ca urmare a unor miscari nefavorabile ale preturilor de pe piata. Principalele riscuri de piata pot fi clasifi cate astfel:

• Risc de rata a dobanzii• Risc de rata de schimb• Risc de pret (pretul actiunilor, pretul marfurilor)

Riscurile de piata sunt gestionate separat pentru portofoliile de tranzactionare „Trading Book” si pentru portofoliul care nu este detinut pentru tranzactionare „Banking Book”. Portofoliul de tranzactionare „Trading Book” este detinut pentru a profi ta de pe urma fl uctuatiilor de pret. Eventualul profi t ce poate fi obtinut din acest portofoliu aduce cu sine un risc potential. Prin urmare daca portofoliul de tranzactionare este semnifi cativ, riscurile atasate trebuie monitorizate frecvent.

Prin politica, strategia si practicile adoptate, Grupul a detinut un portofoliu de tranzactionare „Trading Book” nesemnifi cativ. Pragul de la care portofoliul de tranzactinare „Trading Book” este considerat nesemnifi cativ si este defi nit conform normelor locale si standardelor Basel II.

Prin urmare Grupul gestioneaza si monitorizeaza urmatoarele riscuri:• Riscul de rata de dobanda in portofoliul de „Banking Book”• Riscul de rata de schimb ”Trading Book” si „Banking Book”

Rezultatele analizei de risc de rata de dobanda sunt sumarizate in tabelul de mai jos, unde limita globala de expunere de 15% este impusa de catre VBAG, iar utilizarea limitei este prezentata doar in contextul analizei senzitivitatii capitalului si profi tului la modifi carea ratelor de dobanda cu 200 bps, la o miscare (fi e pozitiva, fi e negativa) a ratelor de dobanda de cinci ori mai mare (1.000 bps); astfel, in acelasi tabel se prezinta si analiza de senzitivitate a valorii capitalului si a profi tului pentru o crestere paralela a curbelor de dobanda cu 1.000 bps:

4.6.1. Riscul de rata de schimb

Riscul de rata de schimb este cuantifi cat prin pozitia valutara deschisa. Pozitia valutara deschisa este considerata semnifi cativa daca depaseste 2% din fondurile proprii, conform defi nitiei Bancii Nationale a Romaniei si a grupului. Grupul si-a limitat in mod explicit pozitia valutara la 5 milioane EUR sau echivalent. Aceasta limita este mult sub pragul de semnifi catie de 2%. Asa cum se poate vedea mai jos, Grupul a mentinut in mod constant pozitia valutara in jurul valorii 0 si in cadrul limitelor stabilite, exceptand o singura situatie, si anume, sfarsitul anului 2008, cand pe fondul inregistrarii unei cresteri neasteptate a provizioanelor de risc de credit s-a generat o depasire a limitei de 2%. Cu toate acestea, pozitia valutara totala, cat si pozitiile pe fi ecare valuta in parte s-au incadrat intotdeauna in limitele de 20%, respectiv 10% din fondurile proprii impuse de catre Banca Nationala a Romaniei.

Prin urmare, in concordanta cu cerintele Bancii Nationale a Romaniei si in conformitate cu cerintele de grup, pozitia valutara este considerata nesemnifi cativa si nu sunt realizate alte analize de senzitivitate in mod curent pentru gestionarea pozitie valutare deschise.

Mai jos este prezentat informativ si impactul asupra profi tului la o crestere de curs valutar de 10% pe principalele trei valute ale Grupului in luna decembrie a lui 2008:

In RON Pozitia valutara Impact asupra profi tului la o crestere

CHF -16.235.224 -1.623.520 Diminuare profi t

USD 137.513 13.750 Crestere profi t

Nota: in cazul unei descresteri a cursurilor valutare impactul asupra profi tului va fi egal si de sens contrar.

4.6.2. “Analiza „Value at Risk” (VaR)

Analiza VaR (Value at Risk) reprezinta pierderea maxima pe care, in cazul Volksbank Romania S.A., o poate inregistra portofoliu de tranzactionare, intr-un interval de timp de o zi, cu probabilitatea de 99%. Calcului VaR se bazeaza pe simularea istorica a volatilitatii.

Aceasta analiza a inceput sa fi e efectuata in cadrul Bancii incepand cu luna octombrie a anului 2008.

Ca urmare, este prezentata mai jos doar situatia de la 31 decembrie 2008:

In EUR VaR* Limita* Utilizare (in %)

Risc valutar 3.264 100.000 3,26%

Risc rata de dobanda 28.094 150.000 18,73%

Total 27.389 250.000 10,96%

* Masurile VaR aratate mai sus sunt calculate automat de catre sistemul de trezorerie Kondor. Acest sistem este implementat la nivelul grupului VBAG si parametrii folositi (de exemplu volatilitatile) sunt determinate la nivel centralizat si sunt folosite pentru toate entitatile banca mama a Grupului. Avand in vedere aplicarea acestui sistem la nivelul bancilor din grup din mai multe tari moneda de referinta este Euro. Cifrele prezentate sunt exprimate in EUR pentru a pastra comparabilitatea in viitor. Altfel limitele folosite, desi ar ramane fi xe in EUR, ar putea aparea diferite in RON de la an la an ca urmare a variatiei cursurilor de schimb.

81

4.7. RISCUL AFERENT IMPOZITARII

Incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2007, ca urmare a aderarii Romaniei la Uniunea Europeana, Grupul a trebuit sa se supuna reglementarilor Uniunii Europene, si in consecinta s-a pregatit pentru aplicarea schimbarilor aduse de legislatia europeana. Grupul a implementat aceste schimbari, dar modul de implemetare al acestora ramane deschis auditului fi scal timp de 5 ani.

Interpretarea textelor si implementarea practica a procedurilor noilor reglementari fi scale aplicabile, ar putea varia de la entitate la entitate, si exista riscul ca in anumite situatii autoritatile fi scale sa adopte o pozitie diferita fata de cea a Grupului.

In plus, Guvernul Romaniei detine un numar de agentii autorizate sa efectueze auditul (controlul) companiilor care opereaza pe teritoriul Romaniei. Aceste controale sunt similare auditurilor fi scale din alte tari, si pot acoperi nu numai aspecte fi scale dar si alte aspecte legale si regulatorii care prezinta interes pentru aceste agentii. Este posibil ca Grupul sa continue sa fi e supusa controalelor fi scale pe masura emiterii unor noi reglementari fi scale.

4.8. MEDIUL DE AFACERI

Procesul de ajustare a valorilor in functie de risc care a avut loc pe pietele fi nanciare internationale in 2007 si 2008 a afectat performanta acestora, inclusiv piata fi nanciar-bancara din Romania, conducand la o incertitudine crescuta cu privire la evolutia economica in viitor.

Criza curenta de lichiditate si creditare care a inceput la mijlocul anului 2008 a condus printre altele la un nivel scazut si acces difi cil la fondurile de pe piata de capital, nivele scazute de lichiditate in sectorul bancar romanesc si rate de imprumut interbancare ridicate. Pierderile semnifi cative suferite de piata fi nanciara internationala ar putea afecta capacitatea Grupului de a obtine imprumuturi noi si refi nantari ale facilitatilor existente in conditii similare celor aplicabile tranzactiilor anterioare.

Identifi carea si evaluarea investitiilor infl uentate de o piata de creditare lipsita de lichiditati, analiza respectarii contractelor de creditare si a altor obligatii contractuale, evaluarea incertitudinilor semnifi cative, toate acestea ridica la randul lor alte provocari.

Debitorii Grupului pot fi de asemenea afectati de situatii de criza de lichiditate care le-ar putea afecta capacitatea de a-si onora datoriile curente. Deteriorarea conditiilor de operare a debitorilor ar putea afecta si gestionarea previziunilor de fl ux de numerar si analiza de depreciere a activelor fi nanciare si nefi nanciare. In masura in care informatiile sunt disponibile, conducerea a refl ectat estimari revizuite ale fl uxurilor viitoare de numerar in politica sa de depreciere. Preocuparile actuale privind posibilitatea ca deteriorarea conditiilor fi nanciare sa contribuie intr-o etapa ulterioara la o diminuare suplimentara a increderii au determinat depunerea unor eforturi coordonate din partea guvernelor si a Bancilor Centrale in vederea adoptarii unor masuri speciale avand drept scop contracararea aversiunii tot mai mari fata de risc si restabilirea unor conditii normale de functionare a pietei

IIn condiitiile crizei actuale, conducerea Grupului poate estima cu un grad mare de incertitudine evenimentele care ar putea avea un efect asupra sectorului bancar din Romania si ulterior ce efect ar putea avea asupra acestor situatii fi nanciare. Conducerea poate estima cu un grad mare de incertitudine efectele asupra situatiilor fi nanciare ale Grupului rezultate din deteriorarea lichiditatii pietei fi nanciare, deprecierea activelor fi nanciare infl uentate de conditii de piata nelichide si volatilitatea ridicata a monedei nationale si a pietelor fi nanciare.

82

Conducerea Bancii ia toate masurile necesare pentru a sprijini cresterea actvitatii Bancii in conditiile de piata curente prin:• pregatirea unor strategii de gestionarea a crizei de lichiditatea si stabilirea unor masuri, impreuna cu Volksbank International AG (VBI) pentru a intampina eventuale crize de lichiditate;• monitorizarea constanta a lichiditatii si previzionarii lichiditatii curente;• monitorizarea zilnica a fluxurilor de numerar si evaluarea efectelor asupra creditorilor sai, a accesului la fonduri si posibilitatea de crestere a operatiunilor in Romania. • obtinerea unor angajamente scrise din partea proncipalilor actionari privind suportul continuu al acestora pentru operatiunile Grupului In Romania( vezi Nota 34).

4.9. RISCURI OPERATIONALE

Riscul operational este riscul inregistrarii de pierderi directe sau indirecte rezultand dintr-o gama larga de factori asociati cu procesele, personalul, tehnologia sau infrastructura Grupului sau factori externi altii decat cei asociati riscurilor de credit, piata sau lichiditate cum ar fi cei care rezulta din cerintele legale si regulatorii sau din standarde general acceptate de politici corporatiste. Riscul operational provine din toate activitatile Grupului si apare la nivelul tuturor entitatilor.

Obiectivul Grupului este de a gestiona riscul operational pentru a combina evitarea pierderilor fi nanciare si infl uenta asupra reputatiei Grupului cu efi cacitatea costurilor si evitarea procedurilor excesive de control care restrictioneaza initiativa si creativitatea.

Responsabilitatea principala a dezvoltarii si implementarii controalelor legate de riscul operational revine conducerii fi ecarei unitati. Responsabilitatea este sprijinita de dezvoltarea standardelor generale ale Grupului de gestionare a riscului operational pe urmatoarele domenii: • Cerinte de separare a responsabilitatilor, inclusiv autorizarea independenta a tranzactiilor;

• Cerinte privind responsabilizarea angajatilor prin introducerea in fisa postului a unor responsabilitati privind gestiunea riscului operational;• Cerinte de reconciliere si monitorizare a tranzactiilor;• Alinierea la cerintele regulatorii si legale;• Documentarea controalelor si procedurilor;• Cerinte de analiza periodica a riscului operational la care este expus Grupul, si adecvarea controalelor si procedurilor pentru a preveni riscurile identificate;• Cerinte de raportare a pierderilor operationale si propuneri de remediere a acestora;• Dezvoltarea unor planuri contingente;• Dezvoltarea si instruirea profesionala;• Stabilirea unor standarde de etica;• Diminuarea riscului, inclusiv asigurarea impotriva acestuia, acolo unde este cazul.

Departamentul de Audit Intern si conducerea Grupului monitorizeaza respectarea standardelor Grupului prin controale regulate. Rezultatele auditului intern sunt discutate cu conducerea unitatilor auditate iar rezumatul acestora este trimis Comitetului de Risc (pentru analiza cost-risc), Comitetului de Audit si conducerii Grupului (pentru nerespectarea regulamentelor si stabilirea de masuri).

4.10. GESTIONAREA CAPITALULUI

Banca Nationala a Romaniei („BNR”) prin reglementarile emise stabileste cadrul legal privind cerintele de capital ale Grupului. Pentru implementarea cerintelor actuale de capital BNR cere Grupului sa mentina un anumit indicator de capital total la total active purtatoare de risc. Pozitia capitalului necesar Grupului conform reglementarilor statutare emise de Banca Nationala a Romaniei la 31 decembrie 2008, respectiv 31 decembrie 2007 a fost urmatoarea:

Determinarea cerintelor de capital • Riscul de credit: pana la 31 decembrie 2007, Grupul a calculat cerintele de capital in conformitate cu prevederile acordului

Basel I. Incepand cu anul 2008, prevederile acordului Basel II referitoare la calcularea cerintelor de capital sunt obligatorii pentru sistemul bancar romanesc, Grupul alegand modelul standardizat pentru riscul de credit;

• Riscul de piata: determinarea cerintelor de capital pentru riscul valutar se calculeaza in baza modelului standardizat, in contexul implementarii cerintelor acordului Basel II;

• Riscul operational: incepand cu 2008 Grupul a calculat cerintele de capital pentru riscul operational in baza modelului indicatorului de baza, in contexul implementarii cerintelor acordului Basel II.

84

Grupul face estimari si ipoteze care afecteaza valoarea activelor si datoriilor raportate in decursul exercitiului fi nanciar urmator. Estimarile si judecatile sunt evaluate continuu si sunt bazate pe experienta anterioara si pe alti factori, incluzand asteptari cu privire la evenimentele viitoare considerate a fi rezonabile in circumstantele date. Grupul foloseste metode de determinare a valorii reale pentru instrumente fi nanciare derivate si pentru titluri de valoare disponibile pentru vanzare.

5.1. PIERDERI DIN DEPRECIEREA CREDITELOR SI AVANSURILOR ACORDATE CLIENTILOR

Grupul revizuieste portofoliul de credite pentru a evalua deprecierea acestor active periodic. Pentru a determina daca ar trebui inregistrata o pierdere din depreciere, Grupul emite judecati cu privire la existenta de date observabile care sa indice o diminuare a fl uxurilor de numerar viitoare estimate ale unui portofoliu de credite inainte ca diminuarea sa poata fi identifi cata pentru un credit individual din portofoliu. De exemplu, datele observabile pot fi de tipul schimbarilor nefavorabile in comportamentul de plata a unor debitori dintr-un grup sau a conditiilor economice, nationale sau locale care se coreleaza cu incidente de plata din partea grupului de debitori.

5 . E S T I M A R I C O N TA B I L E S I J U D E C AT I S E M N I F I C AT I V E

85

Conducerea foloseste estimari bazate pe experienta din trecut a pierderilor din credite cu caracteristici similare ale riscului de credit atunci cand isi programeaza fl uxurile viitoare de numerar. Metodologia si ipotezele folosite pentru a estima atat suma cat si data realizarii fl uxurilor viitoare de numerar sunt revizuite regulat pentru a reduce decalajele existente intre datele estimate si valorile actuale.

5.2. SENZITIVITATEA PROVIZIOANELOR LA ESTIMARILE FOLOSITE

Provizioanele depind in principal de doi factori:• ratele de pierdere;• probabilitatile de default.

Senzitivitatea provizioanelor la acesti factori este detaliata mai jos:

5.2.1. Senzitivitatea provizioanelor la ratele de pierdere

Aproximativ 89% din expunerile generate de credite sunt garantate cu ipoteci. Pentru calculul provizioanelor aferente acestor expuneri, Banca foloseste o rata de pierdere determinata atat pe baza experientelor istorice cat si pe baza estimarilor specialistilor interni. O fl uctuatie a preturilor activelor imobiliare poate avea impact asupra ratelor de pierdere si prin urmare, asupra provizioanelor.

Mai jos este prezentat impactul unor scenarii de scadere a preturilor activelor imobiliare asupra provizioanelor:

SCADEREA PRETULUI IMOBILIARELOR 15% 30% 50%

Provizioane suplimentare (RON) 15.110.595 52.887.082 105.774.164

Modul de realizare a acestei analize si ipotezele folosite sunt descrise pe scurt mai jos:

• Pentru anul 2008 Banca a finantat in medie 80% din valoarea bunurilor aduse in garantie;• Rata de pierdere folosita pentru calculul provizioanelor aferente expunerilor garantate cu imobiliare pentru anul 2008 a fost de 17%;• Pe perioada 2001-2008 preturile activelor imobiliare au crescut anual cu o medie de 13% (considerand anul 2001 ca baza fixa);• Ratele de recuperare pentru activele imobiliare se mentin, insa valoarea activelor scade.

86

5.2.2. Senzitivitatea provizioanelor la probabilitatile de default

Senzitivitatea provizioanelor la probabilitatile de default prezentata mai jos a fost realizatata independent de analiza facuta pentru analiza impactului scaderii pretului activelor imobiliare.

CRESTERE RELATIVA A PROBABILITATII DE DEFAULT 10% 15% 20%

Provizioane suplimentare (RON) 2.220.364 3.330.546 4.440.728

Nota: cresterile probabilitatilor de default sunt relative si nu absolute, de exemplu o probabilitate de default de 20% in cazul primului scenariu (crestere de 10%) ar ajunge la 22% si nu la 30%. Probabilitatile de default au fost plafonate la 100% in toate scenariile.

5.2.3. Valoarea justa a instrumentelor fi nanciare

Valoarea justa a instrumentelor fi nanciare care nu sunt tranzactionate pe o piata activa (spre exemplu, titluri de stat, obligatiuni si certifi cate de depozit nelistate) este determinata folosind tehnici de evaluare. Conducerea foloseste judecati pentru a selecta metoda de evaluare si emite ipoteze bazate in principal pe conditiile pietei existente la data intocmirii bilantului. Grupul a folosit analiza fl uxurilor de numerar actualizate pentru activele fi nanciare disponibile pentru vanzare care nu au fost tranzactionate pe piete active.

5.2.4. Instrumente fi nanciare detinute pana la maturitate

Grupul se ghideaza dupa reglementarile IAS 39 „Instrumente fi nanciare: recunoastere si evaluare” si clasifi ca activele fi nanciare ne-derivate cu plati fi xe sau determinabile si maturitati fi xe ca instrumente detinute pana la maturitate. Aceasta clasifi care presupune exercitarea de judecati semnifi cative. La emiterea unor asemenea judecati, Grupul isi evalueaza intentia si capacitatea sa de a pastra instrumentele fi nanciare pana la maturitate.

87

Valoarea justa este suma la care un activ ar putea fi schimbat sau la care o datorie ar putea fi stinsa intre parti interesate si in cunostinta de cauza, intr-o tranzactie desfasurata in conditii obiective. La 31 decembrie 2008, activele si pasivele la valoarea justa se prezentau astfel:

a) Numerarul si echivalentele de numerar Valoarea nominala reprezinta valoarea justa.

b) Plasamentele la banci si creditele acordate bancilor Plasamentele la banci si creditele acordate bancilor sunt active pe termen scurt si prin urmare valoarea din bilant reprezinta o buna apro-ximare a valorii juste..

c) Credite si avansuri acordate clientilor Valoarea justa a creditelor acordate clientilor a fost determinata pe baza fl uxurilor de numerar pe care acestea le vor genera. Aceste fl uxuri de numerar au fost actualizate cu dobanda cu care tipurile de credite respective ar fi fost acordate la data situatiilor fi nanciare. Pentru produsele ce nu mai sunt oferite de banca si pentru care nu mai este disponibila o dobanda de piata au fost facute urmatoarele aproximatii:

• Pentru creditele in CHF – s-a pornit de la dobanda creditelor in EUR si s-a ajustat cu diferenta intre EURIBOR 3M si Libor 3M (CHF). Presupunerea folosita a fost ca marja aferenta creditelor in EUR sa fie acelasi cu cel aplicat creditelor in CHF, singura diferenta fiind ratele de referinta diferite.• •Pentru creditele pe care grupul nu le mai ofera s-a folosit dobanda practicata la produsele similare.

d) Depozite de la banci Depozitele de la banci au maturitate scurta si astfel valoarea nominala reprezinta o aproximare corecta a valorii juste.

e) Imprumuturi de la banci si alte institutii fi nanciare si datoriile subordonate Refi nantarile primite de grup sunt legate de indici de referinta Euribor 3M si Libor 3M (CHF) si au data de revizuire trimestrial. Prin urmare ratele de dobanda pentru aceste refi nantari au fost revizuite la data situatiilor fi nanciare si deci valoarea nominala este egala cu valoarea justa.

f) Depozitele de la clienti Valoarea justa pentru depozitele clientilor a fost determinata pe baza fl uxurilor de numerar viitoare pe care acestea le vor genera. Aceste fl uxuri de numerar au fost actualizate cu dobanzile practicate la depozite similare la data situatiilor fi nanciare.

Valoarea justa pentru depozitele la vedere a fost considerata egala cu valoarea nominala.

2008 represents for Volksbank Romania a reff erence year, the bank achieving to come third in the Romanian bank top, following the two largest network banks, after previously reaching the 8th place.

Thus, the bank registered a growth in balance assets with over 68%, from 12.64 billion RON at the end of 2007, to 21.34 billion RON at the end of 2008. The signifi cant increase in balance assets refl ected into the profi t before tax as well, which has multiplied by 6 its last year’s value, totalling 144.4 million RON. The assets market share has also registered a signifi cant growth reaching 6.7 %, 1.7 % more than at the end of 2007.

The outstanding results obtained by the bank, despite harsh conditions in the international fi nancial banking system, in the context of the global economic crisis, have also been acknowledged by the press, as Volksbank Romania was assigned by press-group Finmedia the BANK OF THE YEAR 2008 title.

All of these results prove, once again, the fact that Volksbank Romania is one of the most dynamic market presences, basing its success on the sustained eff ort of its young team, by means of expanding distribution channels and, not least, the careful consideration paid to the process of identifying and satisfying clients’ needs.

5

Along with obtaining good fi nancial results, our eff orts concentrated on optimising risk management.

Volksbank Romania has successfully accomplished the report tasks corresponding to Basel II standard approaches, following march 2008, making, at the same time, the necessary steps in order to prepare the transition to the approach based on internal credit risk ratings. In this respect, measures have been taken in terms of: monitoring data quality, testing and improving the rating systems, revising processes and procedures concerning the market risk, the credit risk and the liquidity risk.

1. ROMANIA HAS GROWN OVER POTENTIAL IN THE FIRST 3 QUARTERS OF 2008, BUT SLOWED DOWN ABRUPTLY IN Q4

In 2008, the Romanian economy grew over potential in the fi rst three quarters, but decelerated abruptly in the last quarter of the year, as the international fi nancial crisis has aff ected deeply our country. In Q1 2008, gross domestic product (GDP) has grown by 8.2 % y/y in real terms, driven mainly by constructions (+ 32.5 % y/y) and domestic trade (+ 11.0 % y/y). In the next two quarters of 2008, the real growth dynamics of GDP outpaced 9 % (+ 9.3 % y/y in Q2 and 9.2 % y/y in Q3), as constructions, agriculture and internal trade posted high increase rates. However, the economic activity has slowed down sharply during October-December, advancing in real terms by only 2.9 % y/y, due to the deceleration in industry (- 7.7 % y/y) and fi nancial services (- 1.5 % y/y), as the liquidity shortage worldwide has reduced substantially the fi nancial fl ows towards Romania.

On the expenditure approach, the modest increase of GDP in Q4 2008 was driven by a steep fall in fi nal consumption by – 2.8 % since the same timeframe last year, mainly to a radical change in households’ consumption behaviour. Households reduced consumption by 3.7 % y/y, due to worsening expectations triggered by the international fi nancial crisis. Only the consumption of public administration grew by 4.8 % y/y, due to accelerated spending of state authorities amid election period. In the same timeframe, the increasing pace of gross fi xed capital formation raised decelerated to + 2.8 % y/y from 24.3 % in Q3 2008 and 28 % in Q4 2007, denoting that fi nancing resources are likely to diminish in the next quarters. The fi nancial crisis and currency depreciation had a positive impact on the net exports evolution, as the imports dynamics decreased by 10.2 % y/y for the fi rst time since 1990, while export advanced by 1.6 % y/y.

The poor dynamics of the economy in Q4, dragged whole year GDP growth to 7.1 % y/y, bringing nominal GDP to RON 503.96 bn (some EUR 136.85 bn). During 2008, the most dynamic sectors of economy were construction (+ 26.1 % y/y) and agriculture (+ 21.4 % y/y). Industry was largely hit by the global fi nancial crisis, as its growth pace decelerated to 1.3 % y/y from 5.1 % in 2007, due to a decrease in demand for industrial output on both local and external markets. Services still posted a good growth dynamics, especially trade activities, which increased by 6.6 % y/y, while fi nancial sector posted a modest growth (+ 3.6 % y/y) due to the restraint of liquidities and higher risks. In 2008, fi nal consumption increased by 8.0 % in real terms, slowing from 13.7 % during Q1-Q3, mainly due to a deceleration of households’ consumption.

HEADLINE INFLATION SLOWED DOWN TO 6.3 % AT END-2008, BUT MAINTAINED ABOVE NBR’S INFLATION TARGET

In the fi rst semester of 2008, the strong excess demand and administrated prices hikes had exerted strong upward pressures on consumer prices, pushing headline infl ation to 8.6 %. In the second half of the year, the disinfl ation process has resumed, as the Central Bank conducted a tight monetary policy, keeping the key rate at 10.25 %, the more so as the sentiment of foreign investors towards emerging markets had deteriorated. Therefore, annualized infl ation decelerated to 7.3 % at end-Q3 and down to 6.3 % by the end of the year, outpacing sensibly NBR’s infl ation target of 3.8 %, +/- 1 pps. Although the local currency suff ered a strong depreciation, loosing 7.1 % vs. June-2008, the infl ationary pressures decreased, as consumption had contracted steeply

Tax revenues, with the largest contribution to total revenues, reached RON 94.04 bn, increasing by 23.1 % y/y, due to the robust growth of the economy in 2008, as tax levels were maintained unchanged.

R E TA I L B U S I N E S S

Starting off with 2008, Volksbank Romania has gradually improved and developed its sales’ strategy by implementing a new vision, namely transforming its relationship with the clients into a long-term partnership represented by the engagement of all banking activity on both the family and business area through VBR, by means of accessing a higher and more various number of products and services off ered by the bank.

Disposing of a retail portfolio that comprised approximatively 150.000 clients (natural persons and microenterprises) of which more then 80.000 engaging credit facilities in 2008, Volksbank Romania has extended its product and service range, by predicting the clients’needs and desires, through the implementation of this new approach, which has continued in the fi rst half of 2009 and will carry on for the next 2 years.

Thus, in the summer of 2008, we have launched the products and services packages, that contain, according to every client’s fi nancial resources, a series of discounts and facilties, applied to included products and services (current accounts, debit cards, credit products, free internet banking service), but also to banking operations made by clients within these packages (free payments, free withdraws, etc.)

The summer of 2008 also meant the launching of the new internet banking service – VB Direct, one of the most competitive in the romanian bank system, that not only provides a very easy and effi cient usage, being a very „client-friendly” service, but also creates the possibility to make any type of banking operations (opening new accounts, making deposits, payments, transfers, utlity bills payment, foreign echange, balance check,statement check, engaged credit refund graphics check, etc.)

As an eff ect to the implementation of this competitive internet banking service, Volksbank Romania has continued to work on client needs and desires, off ering them a new range of products, this time saving-oriented: special current accounts: „Junior”, „Student”, „Grandparents”, „Dynamic”.

Through these new products, the bank has adressed both the existing clientele segment (through the Dynamic account – off ered to natural persons and microenterprises), and new segments such as children, students, retired, off ering each target category, current accounts with attractive interest rates, that include free or discount products, operations and services.

The launching of these current account products covers the entire interest area of natural persons, from accounts dedicated to collecting/transferring salaries and other types of income,to accounts serving children and parents by effi cientely collecting and administrating ammounts coming from state allowances for children and other social rights and moreover to accounts designed for the retired that cash pensions and other money rights and even saving available resources.

As a follow-up to this process, at the end of last year, a new concept was launched on the Romanian market: the special product and services package – VB Direct Bank – product targeting natural persons who want to save energy, time and most important money.

17

Furthermore, this new concept desires to revolutionise and inovate classical banking operations, made at bank offi ces, on one hand, and to guide natural persons to a more confortable and effi cient usage and access method to all banking service and products – through the internet, at any time and any place: at home, at work, on holidays, etc.

Through the special package VB Direct Bank, Volksbank off ers its clients, both old and new, the possibility of:• Saving and effi cientely administrating time given to transactions and banking operations;• Saving and effi cientely administrating income and money resources – by off ering extremely attractive interest rates on current accounts included in this product, as well as applying extremely low cost on services and operations within this package (it includes the free internet banking service, a free debit card and discounts up to 75% on account and card operations);• Making all types of banking transactions in a very short time : by accessing the internet banking services provided by the package at any place and any time.

Also, during 2008, Volksbank Romania has extended its product and service range for Small and middle enterprises, launching dedicated service and product packages, with attractive costs, that include a series of facilities and discounts for products and services included, as well as for some ordinary operations.

As for fi nancing products off ered to microenterprises, these were improved and diversifi ed by developping special products for those activating in diff erent liberal professions, such as doctors, public notaries, lawyers, etc.

As a consequence, at the end of 2008, Volksbank Romania’s strategy to diversify and extend the types of products off ered, as well as attract new clientele segments, lead to being granted the third position in the bank top of the Romanian banking system, position mostly due to the dynamics and development of the retail activity.

C O R P O R AT E B U S I N E S S

It is well known that the core business of VBR Corporate area was represented by SME & real estate fi nancing. SME fi nancing remains all the way a target segment during 2008, while real estate fi nancing was booming up to Q3 2008 when- due to international crises- the group strategy for CEE countries changed the business approach for this segment. Consequently, the VBR management decided to stop granting new real estate fi nance since Q4 2008 and set up a restructuring & rescheduling procedure for this segment.

All in all, the corporate activity was defi ned by dynamism in 2008, the overall corporate lending portfolio increased with around 36% compared to the previous year.

Regarding the Corporate & SME segment, the 2008 development, refl ected in fi gures, shows that the corporate credit volume increased with 85% since December 2007, while maintaining a high quality of the loan portfolio - the default rate was 0.1%.

On the transactional business side, it is worth mentioning the launching of VB Direct (Q2 2008) as an integrated e-banking platform, that enhanced the corporate transactional business, together with the implementation of scanning solution at the branch level for paper based payment orders. These new developments infl uenced positively the speed & quality of payments processing and determined the migration of paper-based payments to the electronic environment.

The 2009 business approach will continue to enforce the positioning on SME business segment (companies with turnover from EUR 1mio. to EUR 50 mio) and will turn to a new market niche represented by municipalities fi nancing & infrastructural projects. This turn around strategy, meaning focus replacement from the real estate fi nancing to the municipalities projects (sovereign risk) is determined by the changes in the business climate and also by the VBR/VBI risk approach.

To be successful in the business lines proposed in the corporate strategy for 2009, the focus will be for the following major directions:

Improving continuously the quality of products and services off ered to Corporate and SME clients; Launching new corporate standard products dedicated to both cash management and fi nancing requirements of

the clients; Improving profi tability of the Corporate & SME business segment by implementing a CRM system able to measure profi tability

per client and per relationship manager Increasing income from the cross selling activities, heaving in view the characteristics of this business segment.

19

The performance of the International Clients Desk emphasis the market strategy of the VBR corporate banking that of addressing clients based on the specifi c of their activity. Thus, the International Clients Desk mainly focuses on providing complete and professional consulting to the investors from Austria, Germany, Italy and France, as well as to Romanian companies having foreign shareholding.

The Division is structured on 3 international desks, depending on the client’s origin (Austria, Germany, Italy and France etc.) and gathers corporate specialists who address the clients using their mother language. Further, the departments dedicated to this type of corporate clients activate as coordinating centers and are addressing main branches located in Romania of Austrian, German, Italian and French companies.The International Clients Desk manages a portfolio of approximately 1,000 clients from which 211 hold active credit facilities amounting a credit volume of around EUR 120 mio at the end of 2008- a portfolio extended with 30 % compared to December 2007. The main goal for 2009 is to maintain and increase the client database by quality relationship management and off ering tailored business solution that best suits the western banking mentality that this clients typology have.

The result obtained in 2008 represents the best performance throughout the evolution of the Treasury Divison within Volksbank Romania. This result is yet more remarkable as it was accomplished during a year of full fi nancial crisis on both currency and monetary international markets.

The volume of transactions made by Volksbank Romania on the currency market was signifi cant, reaching 6 093.7 million euros. 60 percent of all income made by currency market transactions have been determined by the non-bank clientele and the rest 40 percent by means of interbank transactions.

In these terms, the FX income (except for re-evaluation profi t) reached a level of 15.7 million euros,whereas income out of re-evaluating currency position summed up 2.5 million euros.

On the monetary market, transanctions’ volume has constantly increased and maturities followed the market’s tendency, being infl uenced by the evolution of the fi nancial crisis.

Moreover, 2008 meant a signifi cant increase in the volume of currency swap transactions within the interbank market, in order to improve the administration of the bank’s liquidity.

Along the year, the bank has succeeded in keeping a permanent reserve of liquidity, thus helping to easily overcome the fi nancial crisis of the second half of 2008.

Interest income from the treasury’s activity has been determined by both inter-bank placements and fi xed income fi nancial instruments, issued by the Ministry of Finance, reaching the total level of 10.1 million EUR.

Client request for derived products has signifi cantly increased over the year of 2008, on grounds of the international economic situation. The forward currency transactions have been solicited quite frequently by clients for the purpose of protection against currency risk.

2008 also meant a better quality of the treasury’s activity by means of implementing the best informatics solution available on the market at the present time.

The purpose of this process was to allow the development of new products, but in the same time to manage risk better.

Thus, throughtout 2008, we have succesfully implemented the front-offi ce solution, the Kondor+ system and we have started implementing the back offi ce application, as well as the securities’ custody application which are going to be delivered during 2009.

Volksbank Romania has continued to off er a wide range of treasury products that can be adapted to the needs and requests of every client by means of direct negociation, phone or on-line negociation. The clients are being daily informed about the fi nancial market’s evolution in order to help them identify existing opportunities.

The Operations Offi ce’s activity covers most of the back offi ce activity.During 2008, a series of other departments started their activity such as Cash Management, Custody and Branch Support, according to client needs and internal organization, along with old departments like Payments, Documentary Business and Banking Correspondents, Card Back Offi ce and Treasury Back Offi ce.

During 2008, the Payments Department’s main achievement was the implementation of a scanning software that permitted centralization of all payment and foreign exchange processes, allowing a more effi cient back offi ce activity, as to accomplish a 36 FTE personnel saving, resources reoriented towards business activities. As an eff ect of an increased transactions volume, commissions originating from payment processing totalised 3.5 mio EUR.

The Documentary Business Department registered in 2008 an increase in activity volume, off ering corporate and retail clients the necessary support to engage accreditives, incasso and guarantee letters issuing. The professional support off ered to clients contributed to producing an income volume of 0.6 mio EUR.

In 2008, the Treasury Back Offi ce Department started to implement a dedicated software, the fi rst phase being successfully concluded, planning to continue its implementation in 2009 for complex products that the bank wishes to off er its clients, majorly contributing to earning a higher income.

The Custody Department was created with the purpose of supplying custody services for the safekeeping of securities, as well as treasury securities, their discount and registration, collecting income, evaluating portfolios, contributing to the diversifi cation of products off erd to clients and aff erent income.

The Cash Management Department, intended to provide a more effi cient cash administration activity, followed and accomplished to reduce transport and supply costs, by means of a better redistribution among units and secondly as an eff ect of an optimized surplus funds placement.

In 2008, the Risk Controlling division’s activity concentrated mainly on implementing the Basel II requests. Following March 2008, Volksbank Romania has succesfully accomplished the report requests corresponding the standard Basel II approaches. Simultaneously, the necessary steps have been made in order to prepare the transition to the approach based on internal credit risk ratings. In this respect, measures have been taken in terms of: monitoring data quality, testing and improving the rating systems, revising processes and procedures concerning the market risk, the credit risk and the liquidity risk.

The division has contributed to carrying on the integration of risk measures such as RAROC, expected loss, PD and LGD into the bank’s daily activity.

In terms of market risk, we have begun using the Kondor+ software not only in purposes of daily risk monitoring, but also for reporting references.

Considering the present situation,stress tests concerning the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk, liquidity and the real estate assets’ price, have been given careful consideration.

Also, in the second half of the year, the monitoring and administration of liquidity plan has been considerably consolidated through the increase in monitoring frequency, as well as a tighter cooperation with the offi ces of Treasury and Financial Accountancy.

2008 represents the year that Volksbank consolidated its position on the retail banking market, coming in third in Romania’s bank top.

Thus, in one year only, the total value of the bank’s balance assets has increased with aproximatively 68%, in comparison to the end of 2007, up to the level of 21.34 billion RON, thereby reaching a 6.79 % market share and obtaining a 144.44 million RON profi t before tax.

By means of this year’s results, Volksbank Romania has confi rmed every expectation concerning the market potential and has strengthened the trust of the Supervisory Board in terms of the local management’s strategy: focusing, on one hand, on the target represented by natural persons and by both microenterprises and small and middle enterprises, on the other.

The trust of the Supervisory Board in terms of fi nancial indicators, the book account and accounting statuses, as well as all other reports concerning the bank’s activity during 2007, have been audited by the audit fi rm KPMG SRL, which has not had any objections, thereby approving the accounts without reserve.

2.1 COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

The consolidated fi nancial statements of the Group have been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union, in force on the date of the Group annual reporting, namely December 31, 2008.In order to estimate the losses from the depreciation of loans and advances granted and of the net leasing investment, the Group has applied the internal methodology as presented within Note 3.9.1. - 7.).

Diff erences between the IFRS fi nancial statements and the statutory fi nancial statementsThe Bank accounting records have been presented in RON, in accordance with the Romanian accounting legislation as well as with the banking regulations in force as issued by the National Bank of Romania.The branch maintains its accounting records in accordance with the Romanian accounting legislation.All the aforementioned accounting records of the Bank and of its branch are hereinafter referred to as statutory accounts.

These accounts have been retreated in order to refl ect the existing diff erences between the statutory accounts and the IFRS. Accordingly, the statutory accounts have been adjusted, when and if necessary, in order to harmonize the said fi nancial statements, in all the signifi cant aspects, with the IFRS.

The most signifi cant changes brought to the statutory fi nancial statements in order to align them to the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union are:

• The grouping of several detailed elements in more comprising categories;• Adjustments of the assets and liabilities elements, in accordance with IAS 29 (“Financial reporting in hyperinfl ationary economies”) due to the fact that the Romanian economy has been a hyperinfl ationary economy up to December 31, 2003;• The choosing of the RON currency as the functional currency starting January 1, 2008;• Adjustments at the fair value and the depreciation of the value of the fi nancial instruments, in accordance with IAS 39 (“Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”);• Establishing provisions for deferred taxes; and• Presenting the necessary information in accordance with IFRS

2.2 ASSESSMENT BASIS

The consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared by taking into consideration the fair value of derivative fi nancial instruments, the receivables and the fi nancial liabilities as well as of the fi nancial instruments available for sale through the profi t and loss account, save for those for which the fair value could not be established in a credible manner. Other receivables and fi nancial liabilities as well as the receivables and non-fi nancial liabilities are presented according to the amortized cost, the reassessed value or the historical cost.

The non-current assets available for sale are presented at the smallest value between the net accounting value and the fair value, less those costs as related to sale.

2.3 THE FUNCTIONAL PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The Bank Management has decided that the RON currency represented the functional currency since January 1, 2008. The Group applied the change of the functional currency prospectively.

The elements included in the fi nancial statements of each of the Group entities are assessed by using the currency of the main economic environment where the said entity operates (the “functional currency”).The Group consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in RON, the currency that the management of the Bank has chosen as presentation currency.

According IAS 21, as the functional currency before January 1, 2008 was EUR, for the conversion of the amounts from EUR into RON the following procedures have been complied with as at December 31, 2007):

• the assets, liabilities and equity for all elements presented in the balance sheet (including the comparatives), have been converted at the exchange rate valid on the balance sheet date (December 31, 2007: 3,6102 RON / EUR);• the elements relating to incomes and expenses have been converted for the current period at a currency exchange rate valid on the transactions’ date or at an exchange rate which approximates the current exchange rate (average exchange rate in 2007: 3,3373 RON / EUR);• those elements relating to equity, others than the result of the period which is included in retained earnings, have been converted at an exchange rate valid for the balance sheet date (December 31, 2007: 3,6102 RON / EUR).

2.4 THE USE OF THE ESTIMATES AND OF THE SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the fi nancial statements in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union involves the use by the management of certain estimates, judgments and assumptions which aff ect the application of the accounting policies, as well as the reported value of the assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses. The related estimates and judgments are based upon the experience and the various reasonably assumed factors under the given circumstances, whose results form the basis of the issuing of judgments and opinions related to the accounting value of the assets and liabilities, which value may not be deducted from other sources. The current results may diff er from the estimated values.

The estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed. The revision of accounting estimates is recognized within the period when the said estimate is reviewed, if the revision aff ects only the said period, or during the period when the said estimate is reviewed and the following periods when the said revision aff ects both the current period and the following periods.

The information relating to those estimates used in the application of the accounting policies which have a signifi cant eff ect over the fi nancial statements, as well as the estimates involving a signifi cant degree of uncertainty, are presented within Notes 5 and 6.

43

The signifi cant accounting methods and policies as presented below have been applied in a consequent manner, by the entities within the Group along the fi nancial years presented in the consolidated fi nancial statements.

In order for the information to be comparable, certain elements within the fi nancial statements on December 31, 2007 have

been reclassifi ed in order for the latter to be in accordance with the presentation of the current fi nancial statements.

3.1 CONSOLIDATION BASIS

3.1.1 Branches

Branches are those entities under the Bank control. The said control exists when the Bank has the power to rule, either directly or indirectly over the fi nancial and operational policies of one entity in order to get benefi ts from the latter’s activity. At the time of assessing the control, the potential and convertible voting rights that may also be exercised at present shall also be taken into consideration. The fi nancial statements of the branches are included within the consolidated fi nancial statements as of the moment the exercise of the said control begins and up until the moment the said control ceases to exist.

The Bank consolidates the fi nancial statements of the latter’s branch, namely VBRO Services S.R.L., in accordance with IAS 27 (“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”).

3.1.2 Affi liated entities

The affi liated entities are those entities over which the Group may exercise a signifi cant infl uence, but not a control over the fi nancial and operational policies. The consolidated fi nancial statements include a share of the Group out of the results of the affi liated entities based upon the method of placing in equivalence, as of the date when the Group has started to exercise a signifi cant infl uence and up until the date when the said infl uence ceases to exist. In the event the Group’s share out of losses of the affi liated entity exceeds the accounting value of the investment, the accounting value shall be reduced to zero and the subsequent losses shall not be recognized save for the case when the Group has legal or constructive obligations on behalf of the affi liated entity.

The Bank owns 20% of the share capital of the company Volksbank Leasing IFN S.A., a company providing leasing services to natural and legal persons. The Group does not exercise a signifi cant infl uence and it does not have any control over the fi nancial and operational policies of the company Volksbank Leasing IFN S.A., therefore the said company is not included within the Group consolidation perimeter, not being an affi liated entity.

3.1.3 Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Settlements and intra-group transactions and resulting unrealized profi ts from transactions in the Group, are totally eliminated in the fi nancial accounting. Unrealized profi ts arising from transactions with related entities are eliminated in the correspondence with the investments in associated company.

3.2 THE FOREIGN CURRENCY

3.2.1 Foreign Currency Transactions

The operations expressed in the foreign currency are converted into the functional currency at the offi cial exchange rate valid on the date of the settlement of the transaction. The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the date of drawing up the balance sheet are turned into the functional currency at the offi cial exchange rate valid on the date of the balance sheet. Thegains and losses from settlement shall be recognized into the profi t and losses account, except for those cases when the exchange rates diff erences come from the translation of the fi nancial instruments classifi ed as available for sale, which are included into reserve from the fair value adjustments of the said fi nancial instruments.

The non – monetary assets and liabilities, which are assessed at a historical cost, in foreign currencies are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate from the date of the said transaction. The non – monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are assessed at the fair value, are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate from the date when the fair value has been established.

The conversion diff erences are presented into the profi t and losses account save for those diff erences as resulting from the conversion of the fi nancial instruments classifi ed as being available for sale, which are included into the reserve from the fair value adjustments of the said fi nancial instruments.

The currency exchange rates of the main foreign currencies have been:

Currency December 31. 2008 December 31. 2007 % Increase/(Decrease)

Euro (EUR) 1: 3.9852 RON 1: 3.6102 RON 10.38 %

American Dollar (USD) 1: 2.8342 RON 1: 2.4564 RON 15.38 %

Swiss Franc (CHF) 1: 2.6717 RON 1: 2.1744 RON 22.87 %

3.3 INTEREST – RELATED INCOMES AND EXPENSES

The interest incomes and expenses related with the fi nancial instruments are recognized into the profi t and loss account at amortized cost by using the eff ective interest rate method.

The eff ective interest rate method is the calculation method for the amortized cost of a fi nancial asset or of a fi nancial liability and for the allotment of the income or of the expense from interests for a relevant period of time. The eff ective interest rate is the exact rate which updates the future cash fl ows estimates to be paid or cashed for a life time period of the fi nancial instrument, or, if applicable, for a shorter period of time, at the net reported value of the said fi nancial asset or liability. For the computation of the eff ective interest rate, the Group estimates the future cash fl ows by taking into consideration all the contractual terms of the fi nancial instrument (for instance, payments in advance, call options and other similar options), but it does not take into consideration any future credit losses.

45

The computation method includes all expenses and commissions as paid or received between the contractual parties, which are part of the eff ective interest, the transaction related costs, and other premiums and discounts.

The linear method represents a computation method for the amortized cost of the loans as granted to the clients, by which the commissions generated by the granting of a credit, as received from the contracting parties shall be included in the eff ective interest rate and shall be amortized and recognized as incomes from interests for a relevant period of time. The method of linear amortization as used for the determination of the amortized cost for the credits as granted to the clients represents the best estimate of the management and the fi nancial eff ect, as generated, does not diff er signifi cantly from the eff ect which would have been obtained by applying the eff ective interest rate method.

3.4 INCOMES AND EXPENSES FROM COMMISSIONS AND CHARGES

The incomes from charges and commissions mainly derive from the lending activity, commissions from the card related operations, from the cash management services, brokerage services, commission for the issuance of the letters of guarantee and opening of letters of credits. The incomes and charges from commissions and expenses that are directly attributable to the fi nancial assets and liabilities on the initiation moment (both the incomes and the expenses) are recognized as an adjustment of the eff ective interest rate. The commissions related to loan commitments are amortized together with other direct costs and recognized as an adjustment to eff ective interest rate of the loan. Other incomes from commissions and charges deriving from the fi nancial services as provided by the Group are recognized in the profi t and losses account at the time the said service is provided. Other expenses from commissions and charges shall mainly refer to the transaction – related commissions and services and which are recognized in the profi t and losses account at the time the said service is provided.

3.5 INCOMES FROM THE FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERSION AND DERIVATIVES HELD FOR THE RISK MANAGEMENT

The net incomes from transactions are represented by the diff erence between the income and loss from the transactional assets and liabilities and derivatives held for risk management and includes the realized and non – realized fair value adjustments and foreign exchange diff erences. The net income from the derivatives used for risk management and foreign exchange diff erences is presented within the operational profi t.

3.6 DIVIDENDS

The incomes from dividends are recognized in the profi t and loss account on the date when the right to receive the said incomes is established. The incomes from contributions and other investments without a fi xed income are recognized as incomes from dividends when the latter are engaged. The incomes from dividends are refl ected as a component of the operation – related incomes. The dividends are treated as an allotment of the profi t during the period when they have been stated and approved by the General Shareholders Assembley. The only available profi t for allotment is the annual profi t as registered within the Romanian statutory accounts and it is diff erent from the profi t as refl ected within the present fi nancial statements, as drawn up in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union, due to the diff erences between the accounting regulations as applicable in Romania and the ones adopted by the European Union.

46

3.7 LEASING PAYMENTS

The operational leasing payments are recognized within the profi t and loss account using the linear method during the entire duration of the leasing agreement. The leasing facilities as received are recognized as a part and parcel of the total leasing expenses, during the entire duration of the leasing agreement. The operational leasing related expenses are recognized as a component of the operational expenses.

The minimum leasing payments within the fi nancial leasing agreements are divided on a pro – rata basis between the leasing – interest expense and the reduction of the leasing liability. The leasing interest expense is allotted to every leasing period in such a manner as to produce a stable interest rate for the remaining leasing liability. The contingent leasing payments are recognized by reviewing the minimum leasing payments for the remaining leasing period when the leasing adjustment is confi rmed.

3.8 TAX ON PROFIT

The tax on profi t as related to the fi nancial year contains the current tax and the deferred tax. The tax on profi t is recognized within the profi t and loss account or in equity if the tax is related to the capital elements.The current tax on profi t is the tax to be paid as related to the achieved profi t during the current period, as determined based upon the percentages applied on the date of the balance sheet and of all the adjustments as related to the previous periods.

The deferred tax is determined by using the balance sheet method for those temporary diff erences that occur between the tax computation fi scal basis for assets and liabilities and the accounting value of the latter as used for reporting within the fi nancial statements. The deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary diff erences: the initial recognition of the goodwill, the initial recognition of the assets and liabilities coming from transactions which are not business combinations and which do not aff ect either the accounting profi t or the tax ones and the diff erences resulting from investments in subsidiaries, provided that the latter shall not be reversed within the near future. The deferred tax is calculated based upon the taxation percentages that are expected to

be applied to the temporary diff erences upon their reversal, by virtue of the legislation in force on the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent it is likely to get taxable profi t in the future after the compensation with the fi scal loss of the previous years and with the tax on profi t to be recovered. The deferred tax asset is diminished to the extent that the related tax benefi t is unlikely to be achieved.

The additional taxes, which occur from the allotment of dividends, are recognized on the same date as the obligation of payment of the dividends. The income tax rate used for the calculation of the current tax on profi t and the deferred tax is 16 % on December 31, 2008 (December 31, 2007: 16 %).

47

3.9 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

3.9.1 Classifi cation

The group classifi es the fi nancial assets and liabilities in the following categories:

a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profi t and loss

This category has two subcategories: fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities held for trading, and the fi nancial instruments classifi ed at the fair value through the profi t and loss account at the time of the initial recognition. A fi nancial instrument is classifi ed within this category if it has been mainly purchased for the purpose of being sold or if it has been appointed to the said category by the entity management. The derivative instruments are also classifi ed as being held for trading if they do not stand for a hedge instrument. On December 31, 2008 and on December 31, 2007 the Group did not hold in the portfolio any fi nancial assets or liabilities at the fair value through the profi t and loss account.

b) Financial assets available for sale

The fi nancial assets available for sale are those fi nancial assets which are appointed as available for sale or which are not classifi ed as loans and advances, investments held to maturity or fi nancial assets at the fair value through the profi t and loss account.The fi nancial instruments available for sale include dealing securities as issued by the state, treasury certifi cates which may be resold to the Central Bank, equity securities of the portfolio related activity which are not held for trading or held to maturity.

On December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Group has included within the said category the treasury securities as issued by the Ministry of Public Finance as well as the capital investments.

c) Investments held to maturity

The investments held to maturity represent those fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments and with a fi xed due date that the Group has the fi rm intention and the possibility to keep until the due date. Under the conditions when the Group proceeds to the sale or the reclassifi cation of signifi cant values of investments held to maturity, during the current fi nancial year or during two previous fi nancial years, the latter shall not be able to classify any fi nancial asset as an investment held to maturity (the contamination rule). This interdiction shall not apply to the case when the said sale or reclassifi cation:

• is so close to the fi nancial asset due date (for instance, with less than three months prior to the due date), that the changes in the interest rate on the market could not have had a signifi cant eff ect over the fair value of the fi nancial asset;• takes place after the value of the main fi nancial asset has been substantially recovered, by installments or through anticipated reimbursements; or• is attributed to an isolated event, it is not repetitive and could not have been reasonably predicted.

48

In the event the said sale or reclassifi cation cannot be placed within one of the aforementioned cases, all the investment held to maturity shall be reclassifi ed within the available for sale category. On December 31, 2008 the Bank has in the portfolio government bonds held to maturity. On December 31, 2007 the Bank did not have within the portfolio any fi nancial instruments held to maturity.

d) Loans and advances

The loans and advances are non – derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed and determinable payments which are not listed on an active market, other than those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the nearest future, those that the Group, at the time of the initial recognition, classifi es as being fi nancial assets held for trading, those assets that the Group, after the initial recognition, appoints as being available for sale or those assets for which the holder might not substantially recover the entire initial investment, due to other reason than the credit depreciation. The loans and receivables include the loans and advances granted to the banks and clients.

3.9.2.Recognition

The fi nancial assets and the fi nancial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of those fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities other than the ones at a fair value through the profi t and loss account, the directly attributable transaction related costs. The Group initially recognizes the loans and advances, the deposits and the subordinated liabilities on the date the latter are created. All the other fi nancial assets and liabilities (including those at a fair value through the profi t and loss account) are initially recognized on the transaction date when the Group has become part of the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument.

3.9.3. Derecognition

The Group shall derecognizes any fi nancial asset when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the said fi nancial asset expires, or when the Group has transferred the rights to receive the contractual cash fl ows as related to that fi nancial asset through a transaction where it has signifi cantly transferred all the risks and benefi ts of the property right. Any right as related to the transferred fi nancial assets that is withheld by the Group or created for the Group shall be separately recognized as an asset or a liability.The Group derecognizes a fi nancial liability when the contractual obligations have ended or when the contractual obligations are cancelled or expire.

3.9.4. Compensations

The fi nancial assets and liabilities shall be compensated, and the net outcomes presented in the balance sheet only when there is a legal compensation right and if there is the intention related to the latter’s settlement per net basis, or if there is the intention to simultaneously achieve the assets and cancel the liability. The incomes and liabilities are presented per net basis only when the latter are allowed by the accounting standards, or as a profi t and loss resulting from a group of similar transactions such as the ones from the Group trading activity.

3.9.5. Assessment at amortized cost

The amortized cost of a fi nancial asset or liability represents the value at which the said fi nancial asset or liability is measured upon the initial recognition, less the payments of principal, to which there shall be added or deducted the cumulated depreciation up to the said moment, determined by using the linear method for the loans and advances granted to the clients and the eff ective

49

interest rate method for the diff erences between initially recognized value and the value upon the maturity date, less the deductions from the assets’ depreciation.

3.9.6. Assessment at fair value

The fair value of the fi nancial instruments is based upon a price quotation on an active market, as valid upon the date of the balance sheet without the deduction of the transaction related costs. In the case there is no such price quotation, the fair value of the fi nancial instruments is estimated by using the models for the establishment of prices or the techniques relating to cash fl ow update, techniques based upon the net present value, the method of comparison with similar instruments for which there was an observable market price and other assessment methods.

When the analysis of the discounted cash fl ows is used, the future cash fl ows shall be based upon the best estimates of the management and an discounting rate as equal to the predominant profi tability rates on the market, for the fi nancial instruments which have the same terms and the same characteristics. When models are used for the establishment of the price of an option, the elements of the said model are based upon valid market values on the date of the balance sheet. In the event the fair value cannot be estimated in a credible manner, the contributions for which there is no active transaction market are assessed at the cost and are periodically tested for the value depreciation.

3.9.7. Identifi cation and assessment of the value depreciation

a) Assets held at amortized cost

On the date of each balance sheet, the Group analyzes if there is any objective detail, according to which the fi nancial assets or a group of fi nancial assets that are not held at the fair value through the profi t and loss account, are depreciated. One fi nancial asset or group of fi nancial assets is depreciated and depreciation – related losses occur if and only if there are objective details as related to the latter’s depreciation as a result of one or several events occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (“loss generating event”) and the loss generating event or events have an impact over the future cash fl ows of the fi nancial asset or group of fi nancial assets which may be estimated in a credible manner. It is likely that the identifi cation of one single event that might have caused the depreciation shall be diffi cult to achieve. The depreciation is likely to have been caused by the combined eff ect of several elements. The expected losses following the future events, irrespective of how probable they are, shall not be recognized.

If there are any objective signs of any loss having occurred as a result of the depreciation of the fi nancial assets recognized at amortized cost, then the loss shall be measured as the diff erence between the accounting value of the asset and the discounted value of the future cash fl ows by using the eff ective interest rate of the fi nancial asset at the initial time (the eff ective interest rate as calculated upon the moment of the initial recognition). If one such fi nancial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for the assessment of any loss from depreciation shall be the current variable interest rate, as specifi ed in the agreement. The accounting value from the balance sheet may be diminished either directly or through the use of a provision account. The expense relating to the loss from depreciation shall be recognized within the profi t and loss account.

If in one such future period, any event has occurred subsequent to the time of the recognition of the depreciation shall determine the reduction of the loss from depreciation, the said loss from depreciation as previously recognized shall be brought forward either directly, or through the adjustment of a provision account, the depreciation reduction shall be recognized within the profi t and loss account.

50

b) Loans and advances to clients

The Group, based on the internal depreciation assessment methodology, has included information related to the following loss generating events, as an objective evidence of the depreciation of loans granted to the clients or groups of clients:

• signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the borrower, determined in accordance with the internal system of the Group for the assessment of the clients;• an infringement of the agreement, such as the non – payment or delayed payment of the principal or of the interest;• the creditor, due to legal or economical reasons related to the doubtful fi nancial situation of the borrower, shall grant the latter certain concessions that otherwise he would not have granted;• the existence of various credible information which shall indicate the fact that the borrower shall enter bankruptcy or any other form of fi nancial reorganization;• the disappearance of any active market for the said fi nancial asset due to the fi nancial diffi culties as encountered by the borrower; or• the existence of any credible information which shall indicate a measurable decrease in the future estimated cash fl ows of one group of fi nancial assets from the moment of the initial recognition, although the said decrease may not be yet identifi ed for each and every fi nancial asset, including:

- unfavourable changes related in payment behavior of the Group’s debtors; or- national or local economical conditions which may be correlated with the loss/ depreciation of the Group assets.

At the beginning, the Group assesses if there are any objective depreciation – related signs, in accordance with those presented above, individually for the credits granted to clients who are individually signifi cant, or in an individual or collective manner for credits that are not signifi cant on an individual basis. In the event the Group fi nds that there are no such objective depreciation related signs for the individually assessed fi nancial assets, be the latter signifi cant or not, the said Group shall include the credits granted to clients within a group of credits having similar credit – related risk characteristics, and shall collectively test the group of credits for depreciation. The loans and advances granted to the clientele, which are individually tested for depreciation and for which a value loss shall be recognized or keeps of being recognized shall not be covered by the collective assessment for depreciation. The calculation of the net present value of the future estimated cash fl ows of any secured credit refl ects the cash fl ows which may result out of the execution of the guarantee minus the costs coming from the selling of the said guarantee, even if the execution is likely or not.

In the case of the collective assessment, the loans and advances to clients are grouped per categories depending on the similar characteristics of the related credit risk, which categories shall provide the details related with the debtors’ ability to pay the due installments, according to the contractual terms (for instance, based upon the assessment of the credit risk by the Group or based upon the noting grid of the Group which takes into consideration the type of asset, the industry, the geographical localization, the type of guarantee, the status of the outstanding amounts and other factors). The management considers that the chosen characteristics are the best estimate of the relevant traits of the relevant credit risk for the estimate of the future cash fl ows for the groups of assets, indicating the debtors’ ability to pay all the owed amounts in accordance with the contractual terms of the assessed assets.

The future cash fl ows related to a group of credits, which are collectively assessed for depreciation, are estimated based upon the experience of the historical losses for the credits that belong to the risk categories with the same characteristics. The historical loss is adjusted by taking into consideration a number of observable current information in order to refl ect the eff ects of the current conditions which have not aff ected the period on which it is based the calculation of the historical losses and in order to remove the eff ects of the existing conditions during the said historical period, and which are no longer valid at present.

51

Due to the inherent limitations as related to the historical experience in getting information regarding the individually depreciated credits, the historical losses rates and the complexity of the applied methodology, and also due to uncertainty from international and domestic markets referring to valuation of the assets mentioned in note 4h, the estimated value of the depreciation of loans and advances granted to clients may diff er signifi cantly after the date of these fi nancial statements.

The Group methodology for the estimate of the depreciation of the value of the loans and advances granted to clients is also limited by the lack of information regarding the initial eff ective interest rate and the estimates may diff er from the value which would have been obtained under the conditions when information relating to the initial eff ective interest rate had been available.The Group regularly reviews the methodology and premises as used for the estimate of the future cash fl ows in order to reduce the diff erences between the estimated losses and the real ones.

c) Financial Assets Available for Sale

In the case of the fi nancial assets available for sale, when a decrease of the fair value of any such fi nancial asset available for sale has been directly recognized in equity and there is an objective proof as to the fact that the said asset is depreciated, the cumulated value which has been directly recognized in equity shall be reverse from the equity accounts and recognized within the profi t and loss account even if the said fi nancial asset has not yet ceased to be recognized. The value of the cumulated loss that is reversed from the equity account into the profi t and loss account shall be the diff erence between the cost of purchase (net of the reimbursements of principal and depreciation) and the current fair value, minus any loss from depreciation of the said fi nancial asset previously recognized within the profi t and loss account. The losses from the depreciation of the assets, recognized in the profi t and loss account, related to certain participations classifi ed as being available for sale, shall not be brought forward within the profi t and loss account. In the case, in the subsequent period of time, the fair value of a security available for sale shall increase, and the said increase may be objectively connected to an event which has occurred after the recognition within the profi t and loss account of the previous losses, the loss from depreciation shall be brought forward and the amount shall be recognized within the profi t and loss account.

d) Financial assets presented at cost

In case there are any objective signs related to any loss from depreciation of any unlisted contribution which is not presented at the fair value since the fair value cannot be measured in a credible manner, or as related to a derivative fi nancial asset which is connected to or which is to be settled through such an unlisted instrument, the value of the loss from depreciation shall be measured as the diff erence between the accounting value of the fi nancial asset and the discounted value of the future cash fl ows by using the current internal profi tability rate of the market for a similar fi nancial asset. Such losses from depreciation shall not be brought forward within the profi t and loss account.

3.9.9. Appointment at the fair value, through the profi t and loss account

The Group presents the fi nancial assets and liabilities at the fair value through the profi t and loss account when:• it eliminates or signifi cantly reduces any inconsistency related to the assessment or recognition (“accounting error”), which might have occurred due to the measurement of assets and liabilities or due to the recognition of gains or losses of the latter based upon diff erent principles;• they are part and parcel of a group of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities which are managed, assessed and reported to the management based upon the fair value according to the risk management/investment strategy documentation; or• there are hybrid agreements by which the entity may present the entire agreement at the fair value through the profi t and loss account.

52

3.10. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The cash and cash equivalents shall include: the actual cash, the current accounts at the National Bank of Romania, the nostro accounts at the banks. Upon the preparation of the consolidated cash fl ow statement, there have also been considered as cash and cash equivalents, namely: the actual cash, the current accounts at the National Bank of Romania, the cash from the nostro accounts, deposits at the National Bank of Romania and at other banks and securities issued by the Romanian Government with an original maturity of less than 90 days.

3.11. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AS HELD FOR TRADING

The fi nancial assets and liabilities held for trading are those assets and liabilities that the Group has purchased or which the latter purchases for the purpose of selling them or for redeeming them in the nearest future, or those assets and liabilities that the Group holds as a part of a portfolio which is managed with the view to get short term profi t or in order to maintain a short term position.The fi nancial assets and liabilities held for trading are initially recognized and subsequently measured at the fair value within the balance sheet and the transaction related costs are directly registered into the profi t and loss account. All changes of fair value shall be recognized as a part of the net profi t from transactions into the profi t and loss account. The fi nancial assets and liabilities held for trading cannot be reclassifi ed subsequent to the latter’s recognition.

3.12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AS HELD FOR THE RISK MANAGEMENT

The derivative instruments held for the purpose of risk management shall include the derivative assets and liabilities that are not classifi ed as assets and liabilities held for trading. The derivative instruments held for covering the risk shall be recognized at the fair value within the balance sheet.

When a derivative fi nancial instrument is not held for trading and is not involved in any transaction for the covering of the risk, all changes of the fair value of the latter instrument shall be immediately recognized into the profi t and loss account as a component of the net incomes from transactions. In this category are included swap contracts on exchange rate concluded with the parent and other credit institutions.

3.13. LOANS AND ADVANCES

The loans and advances are non – derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed and determinable payments which are not quoted on an active market and which the Group has no intention whatsoever to sell immediately or in the following period of time.The loans and advances are initially recognized at the fair value plus the direct costs as related to the transaction and subsequently at the amortized cost by using the eff ective interest rate, save for the case when the Group chooses to account for the loans and advances at the fair value through the profi t and loss account, as the latter is presented within the accounting policy.The loans and advances are presented at the net value after the deduction of the provision for depreciation. The latter is registered based upon the loans and advances identifi ed as being depreciated based upon the continual assessment, in order to bring the said assets to the latter’s recoverable value.

53

3.14. SECURITIES

All securities such as treasury certifi cates as issued by the Romanian Government and the deposit certifi cates, as issued by the National Bank of Romania are classifi ed as: • held to maturity; • available for sale.

The fair value of securities issued by Romanian Government on the local market was determined based on quotations from the electronic trading system Safi r. Other participations to unquoted companies are classifi ed as fi nancial assets available for sale and are registered at the latter’s fair value. In the event the latter’s fair value cannot be established in a credible manner, the contributions are registered at a retreated cost less the provisions for the value depreciation. The interest income is recognized within the profi t and loss account by using the eff ective interest rate. The dividends are recognized through the profi t and loss account when the Group becomes entitled to receive dividends. All losses and incomes from the currency exchange rate diff erences as related to those securities available for sale are recognized within the profi t and loss account.

Other adjustments of the fair value are directly recognized in equity, until the investment is sold or depreciated and the balance of the fair value from equity is recognized within the profi t and loss account.

3.15. TANGIBLE ASSETS

3.15.1. Recognition and assessment

Tangible assets are recognized at purchasing cost or assessed value less the cumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The tangible assets have been adjusted depending on the reassessments performed by the Group and ordered by means of the normative acts. The purchasing cost contains the purchasing price, the unrecoverable fees, the transportation related expenses and other such related expenses as necessary for the putting into operation of the said asset. The fi xed assets in progress are not subject to depreciation until the moment of putting into operation.

3.15.2. Subsequent costs

The Group recognizes in the accounting value of a tangible asset the cost for the latter’s replacement when the said cost is borne or if it is likely that the economical benefi ts as included within the said asset shall be transferred to the Group and the cost of the asset may be measured in a credible manner. All the other expenses are recognized within the profi t and loss account at the time of their occurrence.

Those expenses generated by the replacement of one component of the tangible assets elements, which is separately shown, including the inspections and capital repairs, are capitalized. Other subsequent expenses are capitalized to the extent the latter improve the future performances of those tangible assets elements. All the other expenses as related to repairing and maintenance are registered within the profi t and loss account at the time of their occurrence.

54

The gains and losses at the disposal of the fi xed assets shall be determined by comparing it with the net accounting value and shall be taken into consideration upon establishing the operating profi t. The tangible assets elements that are disposed or assigned shall be written-off from the balance sheet together with the corresponding cumulated depreciation. The profi t or loss resulted from such an operation shall be determined as the diff erence between the amount obtained and the net accounting value and shall be included within the operational profi t of the said period. In those cases when parts of a tangible asset (major components) have diff erent life time durations, the latter shall be recognized in accountancy as separate tangible assets elements.

3.16. TANGIBLE ASSETS DEPRECIATION

The depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for the period of the estimated useful life for each and every element of the fi xed assets category. The lands shall not be subject to depreciation. The depreciation rates as per types of categories of tangible assets are the following:

Group property buildings 2% per year

Rented buildings 10% - 20% per year

Offi ce support equipments and furniture 10% per year

Vehicles 20% per year

IT Equipments 13% - 33% per year

3.17. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

3.17.1. IT applications

The IT applications purchased by the Group shall be recognized at the purchase cost, less the cumulated depreciation and the impairment losses. The expense for the IT applications developed internally, is recognized as an intangible asset if the Group shall bring proof to the intentions and capacity to use and develop the said application in such a manner as to generate future economical benefi ts and if the expenses related to the development of the application may be estimated in a reasonable manner. The capitalized costs relating to the IT applications internally developed include all those costs that are directly attributable to the development of the said applications and shall be amortized over its useful life. The internally developed IT applications are recognized at the capitalized cost, out of which there is deducted the cumulated depreciation and the impairment loss. All subsequent expenses as related to the IT applications shall be capitalized only when the latter contribute to the increase of economical benefi ts fl owing from the respective assets use. All the other expenses are recognized within the profi t and loss account when occurred. The depreciation expense is recognized within the profi t and loss account linearly, over the useful life of the said IT application, starting from the date when the said application was operational. The estimated useful life in the case of the IT applications is 3 years.

55

3.18. ASSETS USED IN FINANCIAL LEASING

The Group leasing agreements that substantially transfer to the tenant all the risks and benefi ts as related to the property has been classifi ed as fi nancial leasing. After the initial recognition, the leasing payments are recognized at a value equal to the minimum between the fair value and the actual value of the minimum leasing payments. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the assets shall be registered in accountancy in accordance with the accounting policies as applicable to the said asset.

3.19. DEPRECIATION OF OTHER ASSETS THAN THE FINANCIAL ASSETS

The accounting value of the Group assets which are not of a fi nancial nature, others than those assets of the kind of the deferred tax, are reviewed upon each reporting date in order to fi nd out any depreciation indices. If such indices do exist, the recoverable value of the said assets is estimated. Depreciation related loss is recognized when the accounting value of the said asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable value.

A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifi able group generating cash, and which is independent of the other assets and the other groups. The depreciation related losses are recognized within the profi t and loss account.

The recoverable value of an asset or of a cash-generating unit shall be the maximum between the value in use and its fair value less those costs relating to the sale of that asset or unit. In order to establish the net value in use, the future cash fl ows are discounted by using a discount rate before taxation, which refl ects the current market conditions and the risks related to the said asset.

The impairment losses, recognized in the previous periods shall be assessed upon each and every reporting date, in order to determine whether they have decreased or if they no longer exist. The impairment losses should be reversed if any change occurred in relation with the estimations used for determining the recovering value. The impairment loss should be reversed in the case the accounting value of the asset does not exceed the accounting value that would have been calculated, net of depreciation and amortization, in the case no impairment loss had been recognized.

An impairment loss related to goodwill is not reinstated in a subsequent period. For other assets other than goodwill, loss arising from the depreciation value is reversed if there was a change in estimates used in determining the recoverable amount. An impairment loss of assets is reversed only in the situation in which the book value of the asset does not exceed the value that had been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.20. CLIENTS’ DEPOSITS

Clients’ deposits are initially recognized at the fair value including the costs relating to the transaction and subsequently measured at the amortized cost by using the eff ective interest rate method.

56

3.21. PROVISIONS

The provisions are recognized in the balance sheet based of the estimation of the expenses necessary to close present obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refl ect the current best estimate. The provisions are used only for expenditures for which provision was originally recognized.

3.22. LOANS FROM THE BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

The loans from banks and other fi nancial institutions are initially recognized at the fair value as being the cash received from the said instruments (the fair value of the received consideration), net of the costs related to the transaction. The loans from banks and other fi nancial institutions are subsequently recognized at amortized cost. The Group classifi es the said instruments as fi nancial debts or equity in accordance with the contractual terms of the said instrument.

3.23. FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

The fi nancial guarantees are those agreements by which the Group undertakes the commitment to make specifi c payments to the holder of the fi nancial guarantee in order to compensate for the loss incurred by the holder, in the event one certain debtor fails to make the payment at maturity in accordance with the terms stipulated in the prospect of a debt instrument.

That debt related to the fi nancial guarantees is initially recognized at the fair value and the latter is amortized for the entire duration of the existence of the said fi nancial guarantee. The debt relating to the fi nancial guarantees is subsequently assessed at the highest value from the amortized cost of the latter and the discounted estimated value of the payments (when the payment related to the said guarantee has become likely).

The Group included in its lending policy the risk-sharing product as a participation at the risk related to loans granted by other international fi nancial institutions to Romanian clients. In this contractual relationship the Group guarantees all or part of the losses that could occur in case of the default of the borrower, in exchange to a commission for the participation at risk. The Group also receives, in exchange for its commitment, a share of the interest received by the international fi nancial institution from which were previously deducted the cost of liquidity of international fi nancial institution. The Group receives also an amount proportional to the risk assumed by all the revenue recovered from the fi nancial institution in case of execution of guarantees.

3.24. THE EMPLOYEES’ BENEFITS

3.24.1. Short term benefi ts

The obligations related to the short-term benefi ts granted to the employees shall not be updated and they are recognized within the profi t and loss account over the time the said services are provided. The short-term benefi ts of the employees shall include the salaries, the bonuses and the contributions to social insurances. The short-term benefi ts of the employees are recognized as expense when the services are provided.

57

3.24.2. Determined contributions plans

The bank and the latter’s branches make payments on behalf of their own employees to the Romanian state pensions system, to the health insurances, and the unemployment fund, during the process of running a normal activity. All employees of the bank and the latter’s branches are members and they also have the legal obligation to contribute (by means of the social contributions), to the Romanian state pensions system. All the related contributions are recognized within the profi t and loss account of the period, when the latter are made. The bank and the latter’s branches are not engaged in any independent pensions system and, as a consequence, they have no other obligations in that respect. The bank and the latter’s branches are not engaged in any other after – retirement benefi ts systems. The bank and the latter’s branches shall not be under any obligation whatsoever as to provide subsequent services to the former or present employees.

3.25.THE REPORTING ACCORDING TO SEGMENTS

A segment is a distinct component of the Group providing certain products and services (activity segment) or supplying products and services within a certain geographical environment (geographical segment) and which is subject to risks and benefi ts diff erent from the ones of the other segments. The main reporting format related to segments, of the Group, is represented by the segmentation per activities.

3.26. STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS, WHICH ARE NOT YET IN FORCE

Some new standards, amendments and interpretations of the existing standards were published and need to be applied for periods starting with January 1, 2009, or subsequent periods, and the Group does not adopted them yet. The management considered relevant the following new standards, amendments and interpretations of the existing standards:

3.26.1. Amendment to IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

Transactions with group shares and its own shares. This requires the allocation of payments on shares and cash made by the parent to suppliers of goods and services (including employees) of a subsidiary in the fi nancial statements of the subsidiary. IASB has not specifi ed a proposed starting date of the application, but proposed that the amendment be applied retroactively in accordance with the requirements of transition to IFRS. The amendments to IFRS 2 are not relevant to the Group’s operations, as the Group does not have any share-based compensation plans.

3.26.2. Revised IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009)

The revised Standard also includes a number of potentially signifi cant changes including:

a) all items of consideration transferred by the acquirer are recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, including contingent consideration; b) transaction costs will be expensed as incurred;

58

c) the acquirer can choose to measure any non-controlling interest at fair value at the acquisition date (full goodwill), or at its proportionate interest in the fair value of the identifi able assets and liabilities of the acquired part;d) acquisition of interest without additional control after a business combination should be recognize as an participation. The Group does not fi nalize yet the future impact analysis of this standard over its method of business combinations after the application of this standard.

3.26.3. Revised IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

The revised Standard requires information in fi nancial statements to be aggregated on the basis of shared characteristics and introduces a statement of comprehensive income. Items of income and expense and components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate statements (a separate income statement followed by a statement of comprehensive income). The Group is currently evaluating whether to present a single statement of comprehensive income, or two separate statements.

3.26.4. IAS 23 (Amendment), “Borrowing costs” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

It requires an entity to capitalize the borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifi ed assets (an asset that requires a substantial period of time to be ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. Option to recognize the costs of borrowings in the period in which they occurred, will be eliminated. The group will apply IAS 23 (amended), if will be the case, starting from January 1, 2009. At present it is not applicable of the group because none of the qualifying assets does exist.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet eff ective for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have not been applied in preparing these fi nancial statements:

3.26.5. Amendment to IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

The amendments to the Standard clarify the defi nition of vesting conditions and introduce the concept of non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are to be refl ected in grant-date fair value and failure to meet non-vesting conditions will generally result in treatment as a cancellation. The amendments to IFRS 2 are not relevant to the Group’s operations, as the Group does not have any share-based compensation plans.

3.26.6. Revised IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009)

The scope of the revised Standard has been amended and the defi nition of a business has been expanded. The revised Standard also includes a number of other potentially signifi cant changes including:

a) all items of consideration transferred by the acquirer are recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, including contingent consideration;

59

b) subsequent changes in the contingents transferred will be recognized in profi t and loss account;c) transaction costs, other than share and debt issuance costs, will be expensed as incurred; d) the acquirer can elect to measure any non-controlling interest at fair value at the acquisition date (full goodwill), or at its proportionate interest in the fair value of the identifi able assets and liabilities of the acquired part;

As the revised standard will be applied in business combinations before the date of application, the revised standard probably will not have an impact on the fi nancial statements on business combinations that take place before the date of application of the revised standard.

3.26.7. IAS 23 (Amendment), “Borrowing costs” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

The revised Standard removes the option to expense borrowing costs and requires the capitalization of borrowing costs that relate to qualifying assets (those that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale). Currently this is not applicable to the Group as there are no qualifying assets.

3.26.8. IFRS 8, “Operating segments” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

The Standard introduces the “management approach” to segment reporting and requires segment disclosure based on the components of the entity that management monitors in making decisions about operating matters. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate fi nancial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The impact of applying this standard is still analyzed by the Group.

3.26.9. Revised IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (eff ective from January 1, 2009)

The revised Standard requires information in fi nancial statements to be aggregated on the basis of shared characteristics and introduces a statement of comprehensive income. Items of income and expense and components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single statement of comprehensive income (eff ectively combining the income statement and all non-owner changes in equity in a single statement), or in two separate statements (a separate income statement followed by a statement of comprehensive income). The Group is currently evaluating whether to present a single statement of comprehensive income, or two separate statements.

3.26.10. Amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated and Individual Financial Statements (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)

The amendments remove the defi nition of “cost method” currently set out in IAS 27, and instead require all dividends from a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate to be recognized as income in the separate fi nancial statements of the investor when the right to receive the dividend is established. In addition, the amendments provide guidance when the receipt of dividend income is deemed to be an indicator of impairment. The amendments to IAS 27 are not expected to have any impact on these separate fi nancial statements when adopted as the amendments apply prospectively.

60

3.26.11. Revised IAS 27 Consolidated and Unconsolidated Financial Statements (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)

In the revised Standard the term minority interest has been replaced by non-controlling interest, and is defi ned as "the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent". The revised Standard also amends the accounting for non-controlling interest, the loss of control of a subsidiary, and the allocation of profi t or loss and other comprehensive incomes between the controlling and non-controlling interest

Revised IAS 27 is not relevant to the Group’s operations, as the Group does not have any interests in subsidiaries that will be aff ected by the revisions to the Standard.

3.26.12. Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, and IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)

The amendments introduce an exemption to the principle otherwise applied in IAS 32 for the classifi cation of instruments as equity; the amendments allow certain deliverable instruments issued by an entity that would normally be classifi ed as liabilities to be classifi ed as equity if, and only if, they meet certain conditions. The amendments are not relevant to the Group’s fi nancial statements, as none of the Group entities have in the past issued deliverable instruments that would be aff ected by the amendments.

3.26.13. Amendment to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009)

The amended Standard clarifi es the application of existing principles that determine whether specifi c risks or portions of cash fl ows are eligible for designation in a hedging relationship. In designating a hedging relationship the risks or portions must be separately identifi able and reliably measurable; however infl ation cannot be designated, except in limited circumstances. The amendments to IAS 39 are not relevant to the Group’s operations as the Group does not apply hedge accounting.

3.26.14. IAS 40, Investment Property (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)

IAS 40 is amended to include property under construction or development for future use as investment property in its defi nition of “investment property”. This results in such property being within the scope of IAS 40; previously it was within the scope of IAS 16.

3.26.15. IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008)

The Interpretation explains how entities that grant loyalty award credits to customers who buy goods or services should account for their obligations to provide free or discounted goods or services to eligible customers. Such entities are required to allocate some of the proceeds of the initial sale to the award credits and recognize these proceeds as revenue only when they have fulfi lled their obligations. The Group does not expect the Interpretation to have any impact on the fi nancial statements.

61

3.26.16. FRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)

IFRIC 15 clarifi es that revenue arising from agreements for the construction of real estate is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity in the following cases:

a) the agreement meets the defi nition of a construction contract in accordance with IAS 11.3;b) the agreement is only for the rendering of services in accordance with IAS 18 (e.g., the entity is not required to supply construction materials); c) the agreement is for the sale of goods but the revenue recognition criteria of IAS 18.14 are met continuously as construction progresses.

In all other cases, revenue is recognized when all of the revenue recognition criteria of IAS 18.14 are satisfi ed (e.g., upon completion of construction or upon delivery). IFRIC 15 is not relevant to the Group’s operations as the Group does not provide real estate construction services or develop real estate for sale.

3.26.17. IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008)

The Interpretation explains the type of exposure that may be hedged, where in the group the hedged item may be held, whether the method of consolidation aff ects hedge eff ectiveness, the form the hedged instrument may take and which amounts are reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. The Standard is not applicable to the Group.

3.26.18. FRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (eff ective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after July 15, 2009)

The Interpretation applies to non-reciprocal distributions of non-cash assets to owners acting in their capacity as owners. In accordance with the Interpretation a liability to pay a dividend shall be recognized when the dividend is appropriately authorized and is no longer at the discretion of the entity and shall be measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend payable shall be measured at each reporting date, with any changes in the carrying amount recognized in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. When the dividend payable is settled the diff erence, if any, between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payable shall be recognized in profi t or loss. As the interpretation is applicable only from July 15, 2009, it will not impact on the fi nancial statements for periods prior to the date of adoption of the interpretation.

4.1. INTRODUCTION

The Group is exposed to the following risks as a result of the use of fi nancial instruments:• Credit risk• Liquidity risk• Market risk• Taxation risk• Operational risk

This note presents information regarding the Group exposure towards each and every of the aforementioned risks, the Group objectives, the risk assessment and management policies and processes. The most important fi nancial risks that the Group is exposed to are: the credit related risk, the liquidity risk and the market risk. The market risk includes the foreign currency risk and the interest rate risk.

4.1.1. The framework for risks management

The Directorate of Volksbank Romania S.A. has a general responsibility as related to the establishment and monitoring of the general framework for the risks management within the Group. The Directorate has delegated a number of responsibilities for the development and monitoring of the Group risks management policies in the specifi c fi elds of expertise to the Committee for the Management of Assets and Liability, the Risks Committee and the Credits Committee.

The Group policies for the risk management are established in order to identify and analyze the risks to which the Group is exposed, in order to set up the adequate limits of risk and control, and to monitor the risks and the compliance with the risk limits. The Policies and system for the risks management are reviewed on a periodical basis in order to show the changes as related to the market conditions, the products and services, as off ered. The Group aims at developing a disciplined and constructive control environment, where all employees understand their roles and obligations, by means of the training courses, standards and management procedures as implemented.

Audit Committee report to the Directorate and has the responsibility to monitor compliance with procedures for managing risk. Internal Audit assists Audit Committee in fulfi lling its functions. Internal Audit performs both regular reviews and ad hoc procedures and controls on risk management, and results of reviews are reported to the Audit Committee and Surveillance Council.

4.2. CREDIT RISK

4.2.1. Management of the credit risk

The Group is exposed to the credit related risk both through the latter’s transaction activities, as well as the crediting and investment related activities, and through the situations where it acts as an agent on behalf of clients or any third parties or in its capacity of issuer of guarantees. The credit risk, as associated with the transaction and investment activities is managed by means of the Group market risk management processes. The risk is diminished through the selection of certain partners with strong fi nancial performances, by monitoring the latter’s activity and by using exposure limits and, when and where necessary, by asking for guarantees.

4 . P O L I C I E S R E L AT I N G TO F I N A N C I A L R I S K M A N A G E M E N T

63

The highest exposure of the Group to the credit risk takes place as a result of granting loans and advances to clients. In this case, the exposure is represented by the accounting value of the assets within the balance sheet. The Group is exposed to the credit related risk as related to various other fi nancial assets, including derivative instruments and liability instruments, the exposure in the event of these instruments being equal to the latter’s accounting value within the balance sheet. In addition to the aforementioned aspects, the Group is exposed to the off – balance credit related risk, as a result of the fi nancing commitments and the issuance of guarantees (see Note 31).

In order to minimize the risk, the Group has certain procedures designed for assessing clients prior to the granting of the credits, and for monitoring the latter’s capacity to reimburse the principal and the related interests for the entire period of running the loans and to establish the exposure limits.

The Directorate has delegated the responsibility of the credit related risk management to the Credit Committee. A distinct division of Risk, reporting to the Risk Vice President is responsible for the surveillance of the Group credit related risk, including:

a) Formulating the credit related policies, by consulting the units, covering the requirements for guarantees, assessing the risks, classifying and reporting the risks, legal and documentary procedures, and the compliance with the regulatory statutory requirements.

b) Establishing the structure for authorization of the approval and renewal of the credit facilities. The authorization limits are allotted based on the levels of the credit committee. The credit facilities with higher values shall require the approval of the highest level of the Credit Committee.

c) Revision and assessment of the credit risk. The Credit Committee shall assess all credits exposures which exceed the established limits, before the said facilities being approved or submitted for approval by the Directorate or prior to the latter’s being granted to clients. The Renewal and Revision of the said facilities shall be subject to the same assessment process.

d) Limiting the exposure concentration on third parties, geographical areas and industries (for loans and advances, as granted to clients), on issuer and rating.

e) The development and maintenance of the rating systems, in order to classify the exposures depending on the risk levels of the potential fi nancial losses and in order to enable the management to focus on the risks accompanying the latter. The rating system is used for determining if the provisions for depreciation are necessary for certain credit exposures. The rating system shows the various levels of the non – payment risk. The rating systems are implemented within applications, as integrated at the group level. The rating systems are maintained in a centralized manner by the mother company in collaboration with local experts.

f) Revision, checking the compliance of the company with the established exposure limits, including those for specifi c products and industries.

g) Periodical reporting on the quality of the credits portfolio shall be submitted to the Committee for Credits and adequate rectifi cation measures shall be taken.

h) Providing information, guidance and expertise to the working points in order to promote the most adequate practice within the Group as related to the credit risk management.

64

The implementation of the credit policies and of the procedures is carried out at a centralized level. Each and every branch / agency shall implement the Group credit policies and procedures. Each branch shall be responsible for the quality and performance of its own credits portfolio as well as of the monitoring and control over all the credit risks within their portfolio, including those submitted for approval at the central head offi ce.

The processes relating to credits approval and management may be described as follows:• Retail – standard processes and products that are managed in a centralized manner.• Corporate – non – standard processes and products which are managed in a centralized manner

The internal audit department carries out a number of periodical checking of each and every branch/ agency.

4.2.2. Credit risk exposure

The signifi cant credit risk concentrations take place according to the types of clients depending to the credits and down payment as granted by the Group and the credit commitments as undertaken.

The credit risk concentration as related to the fi nancial instruments exists for groups of clients or other third parties, who presents similar economical characteristics and whose credits reimbursement capacity is similarly aff ected by the changes within the economical environment. The main concentration of the credit risk derives from the individual gross exposure and according to categories of clients as related to loans and advances as granted by the Group, the commitments for the extension of facilities and the guarantees, as issued.

In the table below there is the presentation of the risk concentrations according to economical sections.

On December 31, 2008, the total of balance and off – balance exposures was 14.274.588.591 RON (On December 31, 2007: 8.825.646.134 RON).

The amounts displayed within the previous paragraph represent the maximum accounting loss that would be recognized on the reporting date if the clients ceased to comply with the contractual terms and no guarantee whatsoever had any value at all. Therefore, the values as presented exceed a great deal the losses as estimated and included within the established provision for credits.

The Group holds guarantees for the loans and advances as granted to the clients under the form of collateral deposits, mortgages on real estate properties, guarantees and other liens on the equipments and future amounts of money. The fair value estimates take into consideration the value of the guarantee as assessed upon the date of the loan, and, generally, the estimates are not reviewed but when the loan is independently tested for depreciation. The Group did not withhold any guarantees for the loans and advances as granted to the banks.

Group revalued internally at least annually guarantees mortgage loans Corporate is attached and at least once in three years the credits attached Retail. Real Estate Market in Romania had a pronounced decline in the year 2008. The Group has contracted a study on the evolution of the real estate market and will further adjust the rates of loss for property guarantees the results.

The Group shall take out of the bookkeeping any credit / fi nancial instrument (and the related depreciation provisions), at the time when it is believed that the said asset is no longer recoverable. One shall come to the aforementioned conclusion after the assessment of the signifi cant changes which have occurred as related to the fi nancial statements of the borrower / issuer, which changes have caused the impossibility of paying the obligation or the insuffi ciency of the amounts from the recovery of the guarantees in view of covering the entire exposure.

The Group uses those internal ratings as used within the process of granting the credits both for the independently tested credits and for the collectively assessed ones.

The Group holds a number of guarantees for loans and advances as granted to the clientele under the form of bank deposits, mortgages on the real estate properties, guarantees and other liens over the equipments and/or other receivables. The Group does not have in its own assets as at December 31, 2008 any executed guarantees.

69

Depreciated loans and advances as granted to clients

The depreciated loans and advances as granted to clients are those for which the Groups fi nds it likely that it may not collect the principle and the interest of payment in accordance with the contractual terms of the credit agreement.

Overdue credits but without provision

The loans and advances to clients, for which the payment interest and principal are outstanding but the Group believes that it is not necessary for the latter to be depreciated due to the value of the guarantee / collateral as available and / or to the degree of collecting the amounts owed to the Group.

Credits with renegotiating terms

The credits with renegotiating terms are those credits that have been restructured due to the deterioration of the debtor’s fi nancial positions.

Depreciation – related provisions

The Group establishes a provision for depreciation that stands for an estimate of a loss in the value of the credits portfolio. The main components of this provision are the specifi c component of risk relating to individual exposures and the collective component as established for a group of homogenous assets from the point of view of the losses which have been achieved, but which have not been identifi ed over the credits that may be the subject of the individual depreciation.

The policy relating to the taking out of the balance sheet

The Group shall take out of the balance sheet any credit/title (and any depreciation – related losses in connection with the latter), when the Committee for the Risks, of the Group or the Directorate decides that the said credits cannot be recovered. One shall reach such a conclusion after the assessment of the signifi cant changes which have taken place in the process relating to the fi nancial performance of the issuer/borrower, which changes have determined the impossibility of payment of the obligation or the insuffi ciency of the amounts from the recovery of guarantees for the purpose of covering the entire exposure.

70

Geographical concentration of the balance sheet and off balance sheet exposures from loans and advances to customers is detailed below:

Region December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007

Alba Iulia 3% 3%

Baia Mare 1% 1%

Brasov 4% 4%

Bucuresti 51% 51%

Cluj 5% 6%

Constanta 4% 4%

Craiova 4% 5%

Galati 3% 3%

Iasi 5% 5%

Oradea 4% 3%

Piatra Neamt 2% 2%

Pitesti 4% 4%

Sibiu 2% 2%

Suceava 2% 2%

Targu Mures 1% 0%

Timisoara 5% 5%

TOTAL 100% 100%

The high geographical concentration is due to the fact that more than halve of the laon portfolio is exposed on Bucharest. This is not regarded as a risk taking into account that more than 50% from fi nancial intermediation (as percentage in GDP) is concentrated in Bucharest. Therefore the portfolio structure is closed to the structure at national level.

4.3. THE INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group faces the interest rate risk mainly due to the exposures to the unfavorable fl uctuations of the interest rate on the market. The main sources of the interest risk are represented by the imperfect correlations between the maturity date (for the fi xed interest rates) or the date of the price updating (for the variable interest rates) as related to those interest bearing assets and liabilities, the contrary evolution of the effi ciency rate curve (the non – parallel evolution of the effi ciency of the interest rates of interest bearing assets and liabilities), the imperfect correlation in the process of adjusting the earned and paid rates for the various fi nancial interests with characteristics of updating the price which are similar to those options incorporated in the Group products.

Volksbank Romania S.A. evaluates and manage risk of interest rate by monitoring the limit on the impact of variations of curves parallel to the interest rate by 200 basis points, will have on profi t next year.Volksbank Romania S.A. measures the risk of interest method of GAP. This method cannot take into account that Volksbank Romania S.A. may change interest rate loans with fi xed interest. The activities relating to the management of interest bearing assets and liabilities are carried out within the context of the Group exposure to the fl uctuations of the interest rate.

71

The Group tries to maintain a net positive position for the interest bearing fi nancial instruments. In order to achieve this objective, the Group uses a mixture of fi xed and variable interest bearing fi nancial instruments, for which it tries to control the non – correlation between the data for which the active and passive interests are updated at the market rate or between the data relating to the maturity of the active and passive instruments.

The interest rates for the local currency and the main foreign currency on the December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been the following:

Currency Interest Rate December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007

4.4. THE FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Group is exposed to the foreign currency risk through the currency exchange transactions that the latter performs. There is also a balance risk as related to the possibility of the increase of those net monetary debts in foreign currency, as a result of the fl uctuations of the currency exchange rate.

The main foreign currencies as held by the Group are RON, EUR and CHF. Romania keeps on having certain currency fl uctuations. The Group manages its exposure to the currency exchange rate fl uctuations. The open foreign currency positions represent a source of currency exchange risk. In order to avoid losses deriving from the currency exchange fl uctuations, the Group applies at present a general policy relating to the maintenance of the currency exchange position as close to zero as possible.

The derivative fi nancial instruments as used by the Group in order to reduce the foreign currency risk are represented by the foreign currency swaps (see Note 15).

4.5. THE LIQUIDITY RISK

The liquidity risk is generated by the policy for attracting fi nancial resources and for managing the balance positions of assets. The said risk includes both the risk that the Group shall come across diffi culties in the process of procuring the necessary funds for the assets refi nance upon the related due dates and the risk resulting from the incapacity of collecting one asset at a very close value to its fair value, within a reasonable period of time.

The Group has access to diversifi ed fi nancing sources. The funds are attracted through a wide range of instruments, including deposits, loans and share capital. The latter fact improves the fl exibility of attracting funds, limits the dependency on one single type of fi nance and leads to a general decrease of the costs as involved by the attracting of funds. The Group tries to maintain a balance between the continuity and fl exibility of attracting funds, by contracting liabilities with diff erent due dates.

The Group permanently controls the liquidity risk by identifying and monitoring the changes of fi nances and by diversifying the fi nancing basis. The Bank assessed liquidity risk by tests resistance (stress test).

The assets and liabilities of the Group, as analyzed based upon the remaining period as of December 31, 2008, until the contractual due date, are the following:

4.5.1. Exposure to liquidity risk

The ratio used by the Group for the management of the liquidity risk is the result of the ratio between the net liquid assets (cash and cash equivalent + Nostro + deposits at other banks + government bonds) and raised or borrowed funds.

Details of this ratio as at reporting date and as average, maximum and minimum computed monthly, are as below:

Maximum for the period 39.06% 37.12%

Minimum for the period 23.58% 33.79%

79

4.6. THE MARKET RISK

The market risk relates to the potential losses that may occur as a result of any unfavorable fl uctuations of the prices on the market. The main market related risks might be classifi ed as follows:

• Interest rate risk• Currency exchange rate risk• Price risk (the price of shares, the price of merchandise)

The market related risks are managed separately for the “Trading Book” transaction portfolios, and for the portfolio which is not held for trading purposed and which is entitled “Banking Book”. The “trading book” transaction portfolio is held in order to take advantage of the price fl uctuations. The eventual profi t which may be reached as a result of such a portfolio shall lead to a potential risk. Consequently, if the transaction portfolio is a signifi cant one, the attached risks shall be frequently monitored.

By the policy, strategy and practices, as adopted, the Group has held a “Trading Book” transaction portfolio which was insignifi cant and irrelevant. The threshold as from which the “Trading Book” transaction portfolio is deemed as irrelevant and is defi ned according to the local norms and the Basel II standards.

As a consequence, the Group shall manage and monitor the following risks:• The interest rate risk within the “Banking Book” portfolio;• The currency exchange rate within the “Trading Book” and the “Banking Book” portfolios

The results of the analysis of the interest rate risk are summarized below, where the global exposure limit of 15% is set by VBAG, and the limit use is presented only in the context of capital and profi t sensitivity analysis to changes in interest rates with 200 bps, at o movement (either positive and negative) of interest rates 5 times bigger (1000 bps). It is also presented a sensitivity analysis of capital and profi t for a parallel increase of interest curves with 1000 bps.

4.6.1. The currency exchange rate risk

The currency exchange rate risk is quantifi ed through the open foreign currency position. The open foreign currency position is deemed to be signifi cant when it exceeds 2% of the own funds, according to the defi nition of the National Bank and of the Group. The Group has explicitly limited its foreign currency position at 5 million EUR or the equivalent value. This limit is way below the signifi cance threshold of 2%. As one can observe below, the Group has constantly maintained the foreign currency position around the 0 value and within the established limits, except one case, namely, the end of 2008, when an unexpected increase in risk provisions the threshold of sensitive limit of 2% was over passed. However, the total currency position, and the rates were always placed in the 20% and 10% of own funds required by the National Bank.

As a consequence, in accordance with the requirements of the National Bank and the group requirements, the foreign currency position is deemed as insignifi cant and no other sensitivity analyses are currently carried out for the management of the open foreign currency position.

For information related purposes, there is presented the impact of the profi t growth in exchange of 10% on three main currencies of the Group in December 2008:

In RON Foreign currency positionImpact on profi t at currency exchange

rate increase of 2 %

EUR (17,915,435 ) (1,791,545) Profi t decrease

CHF (16,235,224) (1,623,520) Profi t decrease

USD 137,513 13,750 Profi t increase

Note: In the event of a decrease in currency exchange rates the impact on profi t shall be equal and contrary.

4.6.2. “Value at Risk” analysis (VaR)

VaR analysis represents the maximum loss that, in the case of Volksbank Romania S.A, the trading portfolio could suff er, in one day, with 99% probability. VaR computation is based on historical simulation of volatility.

This analysis is made by the Bank starting October 2008.

As a consequence it is presented below only the standing at December 31, 2008:

In EUR VaR* Limit* Utilization (in %)

Foreign currency risk 3,264 100,000 3,26%

Interest rate risk 28,094 150,000 18,73%

Total 27,389 250,000 10,96%

* The VaR measures presented above are computed by the treasury software Kondor. This system is implemented at VBAG group level and the parameters used (as volatilities) at determined at central level and used for all group entities. Giving the use throughout the group, the reference currency is EUR. The above fi gures are presented in EUR with the purpose to maintain the comparability in the future. Otherwise the limits may change due to exchange rates variation (though remaining fi x in RON).

81

4.7. TAXATION RELATED RISK

As of January 1, 2007, following the Romanian adherence to the European Union, the Group had to subject to the regulations of the European Union, and consequently it has prepared the application of changes as brought by the European legislation. The Group has implemented the said changes, but the way for the latter’s implementation shall remain open to the fi scal audit for 5 years time.

The interpretation of texts and the practical implementation of the new applicable tax regulation procedures could vary from company to company, and there is the risk that in certain circumstances, the tax authorities shall adopt a diff erent position than the one of the Group.

In addition, the Romanian Government holds a number of agencies authorized to carry out the audit (control) of the companies operating on the Romanian territory. These controls are similar to the tax audits from other countries, and they may cover not only tax aspects but also other legal and regulatory matters that might be of interest for these agencies. It is possible that the Group shall continue to be subject to tax controls to the extent of new tax regulations will be issued in the future.

4.8. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

The process of risk re-pricing during 2007 and 2008 in the international fi nancial markets severely aff ected the performance of those markets, including the Romanian fi nancial and banking market, and fostered heightened uncertainty with regard to economic developments in the future.

The ongoing global credit and liquidity crisis which commenced in the middle of 2008 has resulted in, among other things, lower level and diffi cult access to the capital market funding, lower liquidity levels across the Romanian banking sector, and higher interbank lending rates. The signifi cant losses experienced in the global fi nancial market could aff ect the ability of the Group to obtain new borrowings and refi nance its existing borrowings at terms and conditions similar to those applied to earlier transactions.

The identifi cation and assessment of the infl uence of liquidity shortages on the market over investments, the determination of compliance with debt agreement and other contract covenants, and the evaluation of signifi cant uncertainties, bring their own challenges.

The borrowers of the Group may also be aff ected by the lower liquidity situation that could in turn impact their ability to repay their outstanding loans. Deteriorating operating conditions for borrowers may also have an impact on the management cash fl ow forecasts and assessment of the impairment of fi nancial and non-fi nancial assets. To the extent that information is available, management has refl ected revised estimates of expected future cash fl ows in its impairment assessment. Such ongoing fears that the deteriorating fi nancial conditions could contribute, at a later stage to a further retrenchment in confi dence, prompted a coordinated eff ort of governments and central banks to adopt special measures aimed at countering a vicious circle of growing risk aversion and to helping minimizing the eff ects of the fi nancial crisis and fi nally restoring normal market functioning.

In the current market conditions the Group management is able to predict, with quite a high degree of approximation, the developments which could have an impact on the Romanian banking sector and consequently what eff ect, if any, they could have on these fi nancial statements. Management is able to reliably estimate, with quite a high degree of approximation, the eff ects on the Group's fi nancial statements of any further deterioration in the liquidity of the fi nancial markets, devaluation of fi nancial assets infl uenced by the illiquid credit markets and the increased volatility of the domestic currency and fi nancial markets.

82

Management of the Group is taking all the necessary measures to support the sustainability and growth of the Group’s business in the current circumstances by:

• preparing liquidity crisis strategy and establishing specifi c measures, together with the Parent Bank, to address potential liquidity crisis;• constantly monitoring its liquidity position and over-dependence on specifi c funds;• monitoring incoming and outgoing cash fl ows on (daily) basis and assessing the eff ects on its borrowers of the limited access to funding and the sustainability of growing businesses in Romania; • obtaining written commitment from the major shareholder regarding the latter’s continuous support of the Group’s operations in Romania (see Note 34);

4.9. OPERATIONAL RISKS

The operational risk is the risk of registering direct or indirect losses as a result of a wide range of factors relating to the Group processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure or as a result of other external factors diff erent to those associated with credit risks, market and liquidity risks such as the ones resulting from the legal and regulatory requirements, or from generally accepted standards of corporate policies. The operational risk comes from all the Group activities and appears at the level of all entities.

The Group objective is that of managing the operational risk in order to combine the avoidance of fi nancial losses and the infl uence on the Group reputation with the effi ciency of costs and the avoidance of the excessive control procedures restricting the initiative and creativity.

The main responsibility of the development and implementation of controls as related to the operational risk shall belong to the management of each and every unit. The responsibility is supported by the development of general standards of the Group as related to the management of the operational risk, within the following fi elds: • Requirements as related to the segregation of duties, including the independent authorization of transactions;

• Requirements as related to developing the employees’ responsibility by the introduction within the job description of certain responsibilities relating to the management of the operational risk;• Requirements as related to the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions;• The alignment to the regulatory and legal requirements;• The documentation of controls and procedures;• Requirements as related to the periodical analysis of the operational risk to which the Group is exposed, and the adequacy of controls and procedures in order to prevent the identifi ed risks;• Requirements as related to the reporting of the operational losses and proposals for the latter’s remedy;• The development of certain contingent plans;• The professional development and training;• The establishment of certain ethical standards;• The decrease of risks, including the insurance against the latter, where applicable;

The Department of the Internal Audit and the Group management monitor the compliance with the Group standards by means of regular controls. The results of the internal audit are debated with the management of the audited companies and the latter’s summary is submitted to the Risk Committee (for the cost – risk analysis), the Audit Committee and the Group Management (for the non – compliance with the regulation and ruling of sanctions).

83

4.10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The National Bank of Romania (“NBR”) regulates and monitors the Group’s capital requirements. For the implementation of the present capital requirements, the NBR asks the Group to maintain a certain total capital indicator at total risk bearing assets. The position of the necessary capital for the Group according to the statutory regulations as issued by the National Bank of Romania on December 31, 2008, namely on December 31, 2007 has been the following:

Determination of capital requirements• Credit risk: until the December 31, 2007, the Group has calculated the legislative capital requirements in accordance with

the requirements of Basel I. As of 2008, the requirements of Basel II as related to the capital allotment are compulsory for the Romanian banking system, the Group choosing the standardized model for the credit related risk;

• Market risk: the allotment of capital for the foreign currency risk shall be calculated based upon the standardized model, within the context of the implementation of the Basel II requirements;

• Operational risk: as of 2008 the Group shall calculated the capital requirements for the operational risk based upon the model of the basic indicator, within the context of the implementation of the Basel II requirements.

The Group carries out a number of estimates and hypotheses, which aff ect the value of assets and liabilities as reported within the following fi nancial year. The estimates and judgments are continuously assessed and they rely on the previous experience and on other factors, including expectations as related to the future events deemed as being reasonable under the given circumstances. The Group use methods of determination of faire value for derivative fi nancial instruments and for securities available-for-sale.

The below table shows an analysis of the faire value of fi nancial instruments as at December 31, 2008:

5.1. LOSSES FROM THE DEPRECIATION OF CREDITS AND ADVANCES GRANTED TO CLIENTS

The Group periodically reviews the credits portfolio in order to assess the depreciation of the said assets. In order to determine if certain depreciation related loss should be registered, the Group issued judgments as related to the existence of observable data indicating a decrease of the future estimated cash fl ows of a certain credits portfolio before the said increase may be identifi ed for an independent credit within the portfolio. For instance, the observable data may be of the type of the unfavorable changes within the payment behavior of certain debtors within a group or of the economical, national or local conditions that are correlated with

5 . A C C O U N T I N G E S T I M AT E S A N D S I G N I F I C A N T J U D G M E N T S

85

payment incidents on the part of the debtors’ group.

The management uses estimates based upon the past experience as related to the losses from credits having similar characteristics with the ones of the credit related risk when it programs the future cash fl ows. The Methodology and hypotheses as used, in order to estimate both the amount and the date for the accomplishment of the future cash fl ows are reviewed on a regular basis, in order to reduce the existent inequalities between the estimated data and the actual values.

5.2. THE PROVISIONS SENSITIVITY TO ESTIMATIONS USED

The provisions depend mainly on two factors:• Loss rates• Probability of default

The provision sensitivity is detailed below:

5.2.1. The provisions sensitivity to loss rates

Approximately 89% from credit exposures are collateralized. For the provisions related with these exposures, the Bank uses loss rates determined on both the basis of historical data and internal experts estimations. Fluctuations in the real estate prices can impact over loss rates and therefore over provisions.

The impact of some scenarios of falling real estate prices over provisions is presented below:

DECREASE IN REAL ESTATE PRICES 15% 30% 50%

Additional provisions (RON) 15,110,595 52,887,082 105,774,164

The method used for this analysis and the assumptions used are detailed below:

• For 2008 the Bank fi nanced on average 80% from the investment value• Loss rate used for the computation of provisions related with exposures collateralized with mortgages was, for 2008, 17%

86

• For the period 2001 – 2008 the average yearly increase in real estate prices was 13% (considering 2001 as fi xed base)• The recovery rates for real estate assets is maintaining, but there value diminish

5.2.2. The provisions sensitivity to the probability of default

The below presented sensitivity of provisions to the probability of default was realized independently from the analysis for the sensitivity of the impact of decrease in real estate prices.

RELATIVE INCREASE OF THE PROBABILITY OF DEFAULT 10% 15% 20%

Additional provisions (RON) 2,220,364 3,330,546 4,440,728

Note: the increases in the probability of default is relative and not absolute, as for example a probability of default of 20% in the case of the fi rst scenario (increase of 10%) will reach 22% and not 30%. The probabilities of default are limited at 100% in al scenarios.

5.2.3. The fair value of the fi nancial instruments

The fair value of the fi nancial instruments that are not transacted on an active market (for instance, state securities, bonds and deposit certifi cates which are not listed), shall be determined by using assessment techniques. The management uses judgments in order to select the assessment method and issues hypotheses that are mainly based upon the existent market conditions as on the date of drawing up the balance sheet. The Group has used the analysis of the updated cash fl ows for the fi nancial assets available for sale that have not been traded on active markets.

5.2.4. Financial instruments held until maturity

The Groups fi nds guidance in the regulations of IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” and classifi es the non – derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments and fi xed maturity as the instruments held until maturity. This classifi cation supposes the exercise of signifi cant judgments. Upon the issuance of such judgments, the Group assesses its intention and capacity to maintain the fi nancial instruments until maturity.

The fair value is that amount at which an asset might be changed or at which a certain liability might be settled between the knowledgeable and willing parties, in an arm’s length transactions.

a) Cash, current account and placements to banks The nominal value represents fair value.

b) Loans and advances to banks Loans and advances to banks are short-term assets and in consequence the book value represents a good approximation of fair value.

c) Loans and advances to clients The fair value of loans granted to customers was determined on the basis cash fl ows that they will be generate by these. The cash fl ows have been updated with the interest that credit should be given to the fi nancial data. For products no longer off ered by the bank for which there is an available market interest were approximately following:

• For loans in CHF - has started to interest loans in EUR and adjusted for the diff erence between EURIBO and 3M Libor 3M (CHF). Assumption was used as a spread related appropriations in EUR are the same as that applied to loans in CHF only diff erence being on diff erent reference rates.• For loans on which the group no longer off ers to use the interest applied to similar products

d) Deposits from banks Deposits from banks have short maturity and thus the nominal value is a correct approximation of fair value.

e) Loans from banks and fi nancial institutions Refi nancing received from group are linked to benchmarks as 3M Euribor and Libor 3M (CHF) and are quarterly re-priced. Therefore interest rates for refi nancing were reviewed at the fi nancial statements date and therefore the nominal value is equal to fair value.

f) Deposits from clients Fair value for customer deposits was determined on the basis cash fl ows future they will generate. These cash fl ows have been updated with interest charged on deposits similar to the fi nancial data.

Fair value for deposits available immediately was considered as equal to the nominal value.
