Operating Environment of the Bank
General
The economy of the Russian Federation continues to display certain characteristics of an emerging
market. These characteristics include, in particular, inconvertibility of the national currency in most
countries outside of Russia and relatively high inflation rates. The Russian tax, currency and customs
legislation is subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes. Russia continues development of the
legal, tax and administrative framework to comply with the market economy requirements. The economic
reforms conducted by the Government are aimed at retooling the Russian economy, development of hightech productions, enhancement of labour productivity and competitiveness of the Russian products on the
world market.
The ongoing uncertainty and volatility of the financial markets, including the European region, as well as
other risks could have significant negative effects on the Russian financial and corporate sectors. It is
impossible to estimate reliably what impact the above financial market uncertainty and volatility will have
on the Bank’s operations. Management determined loan impairment provisions using the “incurred loss”
model required by the applicable accounting standards. These standards require recognition of
impairment losses arising from past events and prohibit recognition of impairment losses that could arise
from future events, including future changes in the economic environment, no matter how likely those
future events are (Note 4).
In 2013 the Russian economy continued its recovery started in 2010 and accompanied by GDP growth,
declining unemployment and stabilisation in inflation rates. Despite certain signs of recovery, future
economic growth remains uncertain. During 2013 key exchange indices slid down several times, recovering
slightly at the year-end, and most transactions on the stock exchanges were of speculative nature.
On 28 June 2013 Standard & Poor's confirmed Russia’s short-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating
at ВВВ/А-2. The long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating was reaffirmed at ВВВ/А-3, and the
long- and short-term local currency sovereign credit ratings were reaffirmed at BBB+/A-2, stable outlook.
On 27 March 2013 Moody's Investors Service confirmed Russia’s rating at “Baa1” with a sustainable
forecast.

(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
There is an obligatory Deposit Insurance System established in the Russian Federation. According to the
deposit insurance legislation, 100% is compensated to the depositor if the deposit amount does not exceed
RUB 700 thousand. To calculate the compensation, foreign currency denominated deposits are restated at
the exchange rate set by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation at the date of the insured event, and
the amounts due to banks from depositors are deducted from the deposit amount.
In 2013 the situation in the banking sector was characterised by growth in assets, loans issued and profits,
but the quality of assets continues to remain a critical issue. The banking liquidity is mainly influenced by
measures undertaken by the CBR and the Government in the framework of the monetary policy. In 2013
the refinancing rate did not change and remained at 8.25% per annum, required reserve ratios for credit
institutions' obligations amounted to 4.25%.
The future economic direction of the Russian Federation is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of
economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the Government, together with tax, legal,
regulatory, and political developments.
Inflation
Russia continues to experience relatively high levels of inflation. The inflation indices for the last five

Basis of Presentation
General principles
These financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). The Bank maintains its accounting records in accordance with the applicable legislation
of the Russian Federation. These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of those
accounting records and adjusted as necessary in order to comply, in all material respects, with IFRS.
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Russian Roubles being the Bank’s functional and presentation
currency. All amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand roubles, unless
otherwise stated.
Estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of
the financial statements preparation, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Issues that require management’s estimate and are most significant for the financial
statements are disclosed in Notes 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 28.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Going concern
These financial statements reflect the Bank management’s current assessment of the impact of the
Russian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Bank. The future
economic direction of the Russian Federation is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of measures
undertaken by the RF Government and other factors, including regulatory and political developments
which are beyond the Bank’s control. The Bank’s management cannot predict what impact these factors
can have on the Bank’s financial position in future.
These financial statements were prepared on a going concern assumption. The Bank’s liquidity position
disclosed in Note 26 indicates that the Bank has no sufficient funds to meet its obligations. However, the
deficit does not prevent the Bank from conducting its day-to-day operations. The Bank complies with
mandatory liquidity ratios set by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
For prompt management of the liquidity risk the Bank regularly monitors external factors, which could
influence the Bank’s liquidity level, and forecasts cash flows. For the medium- and long-term liquidity risk
management the Bank analyses maturity mismatches of assets and liabilities. To reduce its risk exposure
the Bank sets liquidity gap limits. The set limits are periodically reviewed to reflect the changes in
external and internal environment.
To maintain the required liquidity level the Bank can attract additional funds from the Central Bank of
Russia and in the interbank market. Diversification of liquidity sources allows to minimise the Bank’s
dependence on any source and ensure full satisfaction of its liabilities. A sufficient current liquidity
cushion accumulated by the Bank and the available sources of additional fund-raising allow the Bank to
continue its operations as a going concern on a long term basis.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are generally consistent with those of the previous financial year. Listed
below are those new and amended standards and interpretations which are or in the future could be
relevant to the Bank’s operations:

IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2013). This standard and IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” supersede IAS 27
“Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (as amended in 2003). IAS 27 clarifies transition
requirements regarding changes in IAS 21, 28 and 31 caused by revision of IAS 27 (as amended in
January 2008). IAS 27 sets out requirements for accounting for and disclosure of information about an
entity’s investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when preparing separate financial
statements.

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” (effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This standard is a revised version of IAS 28 "Investments in
Associates" (as amended in 2003) and sets out requirements for the application of the equity method
when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.

IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2013). The new standard supersedes IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements" and SIC 12 “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”. IFRS 10 introduces a unified threelevel control model: the investor can have control provided that the three criteria are met:

-
(a) the investor has power over the investee;
-
(b) the investor is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with that
investee;
-
(c) the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the
investor's returns.
IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” (applied retrospectively to annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2013). The new standard supersedes IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”. The main
change introduced by IFRS 11 relates to the classification of all types of joint arrangements into joint
operations, which are accounted for on a proportionate consolidation basis, or joint ventures, for
which the equity method is used. The type of joint arrangement is determined based on rights and
obligations of the parties to the arrangement arising from joint arrangement’s structure, legal form,
contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances. Early adoption of IFRS 11 is permitted
provided an entity also early adopts IFRS 10, IFRS 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28 (as amended in 2011).
14
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2013). The new standard contains disclosure requirements for entities that have
interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.
Interests in another entity are widely defined as contractual and non-contractual involvement that
exposes an entity to variability of returns from the performance of the other entity. Amended and
new requirements for disclosing information aim to provide the users of financial statements with
information that would enable them to assess the nature of the risks related to the entity’s interests
in other entities and the effect of those interests on the entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows. To comply with the new requirements the entity should disclose
significant judgments and assumptions made in determining the nature of its interest in another entity
or arrangement and in determining the type of joint arrangement in which it has an interest, as well
as information on its involvement in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated
structured entities. In case of full early adoption of IFRS 12 it is also necessary to adopt IFRS 10,
IFRS 11, IAS 27, and IAS 28 (as amended in 2011).

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” (applied prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2013; early adoption is permitted). The new standard replaces fair value measurement
guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. It
provides a revised definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets
out disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. IFRS 13 does not introduce new requirements
for measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value nor does it eliminate the exceptions to fair
value measurement currently applicable to certain standards.

Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of Other
Comprehensive Income” (applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning from 1 July 2012; early
adoption is permitted). The amendment requires that an entity present separately items of other
comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that will
never be reclassified to profit or loss. Additionally, the amendment changes the title of the statement
of comprehensive income to ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’ (the use of
other wording in the title is permitted).

Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” (applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2013; early adoption is permitted). The amendment makes significant changes to the
recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits. The
amendment also makes significant changes to disclosures for all employee benefits.

Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments — Disclosures” (amendments are applied retrospectively
to annual reporting periods effective since 1 January 2013). This amendment requires a disclosure
which will enable the financial statement users to assess the effect or potential effect of netting
arrangements, including the rights to offset.
The changes described above did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements.
IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations not yet effective
The Bank has not applied the following IFRSs and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that have been issued but are not yet effective:

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013;
however, the date can be postponed to 1 January 2015; early adoption is permitted). This standard
was issued in November 2009 as the first phase of replacing IAS 39 and replaces those parts of IAS 39
that relate to classification and measurement of financial assets. The second phase of replacing this
standard regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities took place in October
2010. The main differences of the new standard are as follows:
-
financial assets are required to be classified into two measurement categories: those to be
measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost.
The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s
business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the instrument;
15
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
-
a financial instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument
and both (i) the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the
contractual cash flows, and (ii) the asset’s contractual cash flows represent only payments of
principal and interest (that is, it has only “basic loan features”). All other debt instruments are to
be measured at fair value through profit or loss;
-
all equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instruments that are
held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity
investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial recognition, to recognise unrealised
and realised fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income rather than profit or
loss. There is to be no recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may
be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as
long as they represent a return on investment.

Amendments to IAS 32 “Financial Instruments — Disclosures” (amendments are applied retrospectively
to annual reporting periods effective since 1 January 2013). These amendments introduce guidance for
application of IAS 32 in order to remove inconsistencies in the application of some of the offsetting
criteria. The amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’
and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.

Amendments to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2014, early adoption is permitted). The amendments remove the requirement to
disclose the recoverable amount when a CGU contains goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets but
there has been no impairment.

Amendments to IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, early adoption is permitted). The amendments
provide relief from the requirement for the discontinuance of hedge accounting in IAS 39 and IFRS 9 in
circumstances when a hedging instrument is required to be novated to a central counterparty as a
result of laws or regulations.

IFRIC 21 “Levies” (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, early
adoption is permitted). IFRIC 21 is an interpretation of IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets”. The Interpretation sets out the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is
not income tax. It clarifies, that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy, is the
activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The liability for the
levies is recognised in the financial statements when the event set by the relevant legislation occurs.
The Bank is currently assessing the adoption of these IFRS and amendments, the impact of their
application on the Bank and the timing of their adoption.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Bank, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one
half of the voting rights or otherwise has the power to exercise control over financial and operating
policies.
In April 2001 the Bank set up a subsidiary NPF “Centre of Information Technologies in Building
Industry” LLC.
In June 2013 the Bank withdrew from NPF “Centre of Information Technologies in Building
Industry” LLC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are assets, which can be converted into cash within a day and consist of cash on
hand, balances on correspondent and current accounts of the Bank, overnight deposits, cash deposits with
MICEX, cash on broker accounts and cash balances with clearing nonbank institutions. All short-term
interbank placements (other than overnight deposits) are included in due from other banks. Amounts,
which relate to funds that are of a restricted nature, are excluded from cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents exclude mandatory cash balances with the Central Bank of the Russian
Federation.
Mandatory cash balances with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation
Mandatory cash balances with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation represent mandatory reserve
deposits with CBR, which are not available to finance the Bank’s day-to-day operations. The mandatory
reserve balance is excluded from cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash
flows.
Financial assets
The Bank classifies its financial assets in the following categories:

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

loans and receivables (this category includes due from other banks and loans to customers);

financial assets available for sale.
The Bank determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Classification of
financial assets at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which they were acquired and their
characteristics.
Initial recognition of financial assets
The Bank recognises financial assets and financial liabilities in its statement of financial position when it
becomes a party to the contractual obligation of the financial instrument. Regular way purchases and
sales of the financial assets and liabilities are recognised using settlement date accounting.
All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable
to acquisition or issue of the financial asset in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit
or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current
market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated
using another valuation technique.
The Bank must have access to the principal or most advantageous market.
An entity shall measure the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest.
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value
hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or
liabilities);

Level 2 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 — valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are remeasured in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis,
the Bank determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Bank’s securities portfolio comprises securities traded on the organised market – MICEX SE CJSC.
Transactions on MICEX SE CJSC are conducted on a regular basis and information on the current quotations
of the active market is publicly available. Active market quotations are the best evidence for determining
the current fair value of financial instruments.
The Bank engages external valuers to measure material assets, such as investment property. A decision to
engage external valuers is taken annually by the Bank’s Executive Board, which is governed by such
selection criteria as market knowledge, reputation, independence and professional compliance.
At each reporting date the Bank analyses movements in the values of financial assets and liabilities which
are required to be re-measured or re-assessed in accordance with the Bank’s accounting policies. For this
analysis, the Bank verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in
the valuation computation.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Bank has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above (Note 29).
The fair value of financial instruments traded on the active market as at the reporting date is determined
based on the market or dealers’ quotations including transaction costs.
If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded
in the statement of financial position is estimated on the basis of market prices for similar financial
instruments or using various valuation techniques, including mathematical models. Inputs for such models
are based on observable market data or judgement.
Judgement is based on the time value of money, credit risk level, volatility of the instrument, market risk
level and other applicable factors, if such information is available.

Amortised cost of financial instruments
The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or
financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the
cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount
and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account)
for impairment or uncollectibility.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a
financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interest income
or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when
appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When
calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank shall estimate cash flows considering all contractual
terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, call and similar options) but shall not
consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties
to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other
premiums or discounts. There is a presumption that the cash flows and the expected life of a group of
similar financial instruments can be estimated reliably. However, in those rare cases when it is not
possible to estimate reliably the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument (or group of
financial instruments), the Bank shall use the contractual cash flows over the full contractual term of the
financial instrument (or group of financial instruments.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or retained the right to
receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material
delay to a third party; and

the Bank either has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset. If the transferee has no practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an
unrelated third party without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer, the entity has
retained control.
Where the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the
asset is recognised to the extent of the Bank’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing
involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Bank could be
required to repay.
Reclassification of financial assets
The Bank shall not reclassify out of the fair value through profit or loss category a derivative financial
instrument while it is held or issued or any financial instrument classified at initial recognition as at fair
value through profit or loss.
Financial assets available for sale may be reclassified into loans and receivables if the Bank has a positive
intention and the ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.
If financial assets are reclassified into loans and receivables or investments held to maturity, the fair
value on the date of reclassification will become the new cost of these financial assets. Subsequently
these assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
If, as a result of a change in intention or ability, it is no longer appropriate to classify an investment as
held to maturity, it shall be reclassified as financial assets available for sale and remeasured at fair value.
Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets available for sale are
recorded in the statement of comprehensive income as other comprehensive income.
19
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
The Bank shall not classify any financial assets as investments held to maturity if the Bank has, during the
current financial year or during the two preceding financial years, sold or reclassified more than an
insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity (more than insignificant in relation
to the total amount of held-to-maturity investments) other than sales or reclassifications that:

are so close to maturity or the financial asset's call date (for example, less than three months before
maturity) that changes in the market rate of interest would not have a significant effect on the
financial asset's fair value;

occur after the Bank has collected substantially all of the financial asset's original principal through
scheduled payments or prepayments; or

are attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the Bank's control, is non-recurring and could not
have been reasonably anticipated by the Bank.
Whenever sales or reclassifications of more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments
do not meet any of the conditions of the classification, any remaining held-to-maturity investments shall
be reclassified as available for sale.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include derivative financial instruments.
Derivative financial instruments including futures, currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps
with positive fair value other than derivative instruments designated and effective as hedges are initially
recorded in the statement of financial position as other assets at cost (including transaction costs) and
subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices or using
the spot rate at the year-end as the basis depending on the type of transaction.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are included in gains less losses arising from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or in gains less losses from dealing in foreign currency
or precious metals depending on the type of transaction.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are included in other assets in the statement of
financial position.
Due from other banks
In the normal course of business, the Bank places funds for various periods of time with other banks.
Amounts due from other banks with a fixed maturity term are not intended for immediate or short-term
trading and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Those that do not have
fixed maturities are carried at amortised cost calculated based on expected maturity. Due from other
banks are carried net of any allowance for impairment.
Loans to customers
This category includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market, other than:

those that the entity intends to sell immediately or in the near term, which shall be classified as held
for trading, and those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit
or loss;

those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as available for sale;

those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than
because of credit deterioration, which shall be classified as available for sale.
Loans to customers are initially recorded at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given.
Subsequently, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for
loan impairment.
Loans to customers are recorded when cash is advanced to borrowers.
20
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Loans to customers originated at interest rates different from market rates are remeasured at origination
to their fair values, being future interest payments and principal repayment(s) discounted at market
interest rates for similar loans. The difference between the fair value and the nominal value at origination
is credited or charged to the statement of comprehensive income as gains /losses on origination of assets
at rates above/below market. Subsequently, the carrying amount of such loans is adjusted for
amortisation of gain or loss on the loan issued and the related gains/losses are recorded within the
statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.
The Bank does not acquire loans from third parties.
Financial assets available for sale
Financial assets available for sale are non-derivative financial assets not included into any of the above
categories and not classified as investments held to maturity.
Financial assets available for sale are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to acquisition or issue of the financial asset. Financial assets available for sale are
subsequently remeasured to fair value based on quoted bid prices. Certain financial assets available for
sale for which there is no available independent quotation have been fair valued by the Bank’s
management on the basis of results of recent sales of similar financial assets to unrelated third parties or
determined on the basis of indicative quotations for purchase/sale of each type of securities published by
information agencies or provided by professional securities market participants. If there is no active
market and it is impossible to determine the fair value of equity securities using reliable methods,
investments are recognised at acquisition cost.
Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets available for sale are
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as other comprehensive income. When financial
assets available for sale are disposed of, the related accumulated unrealised gains and losses previously
recognised as other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statement of comprehensive income as
gains less losses arising from financial assets available for sale. Disposals of financial assets available for
sale are recorded using the FIFO method.
Interest earned on debt securities available for sale is determined using the effective interest method and
reflected in the statement of comprehensive income as interest income. Dividends received on equity
investments available for sale are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income when the Bank’s
right to receive dividends is established and dividends are likely to be received.
Promissory notes purchased
Promissory notes purchased are included in financial assets available for sale, investments held to
maturity, due from other banks or loans to customers, depending on their economic substance and are
subsequently accounted for in accordance with the accounting policies for these categories of assets.
Impairment of financial assets
The Bank assesses on the closing date whether there is any objective evidence that the value of a
financial asset item or group of items has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income as they are incurred as a result of one or more events that occurred
after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on
the amount or timing of the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets
that can be reliably estimated. If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for
an individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.
(1) Impairment of due from other banks and loans to customers
For amounts due from other banks and loans to customers carried at amortised cost, the Bank first
assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant.
Objective evidence that due from other banks and loans to customers are impaired includes observable
data about the following events in respect of individually significant financial assets:

default in any payments due;

significant financial difficulty of the borrower supported by financial information at the Bank’s
disposal;
21
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)




it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
worsening national or local economic environment affecting the borrower;
breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
the lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, granting to the
borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is recognised are
not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics
and collectively assesses them for impairment.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of
similar credit risk characteristics such as asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type,
payment status and other relevant factors. The characteristics chosen are relevant to the estimation of
future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the borrowers' ability to pay all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.
The main criterion used for determining objective evidence of loss from impairment of due from other
banks and loans to customers representing collectively measured financial assets is availability of
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a
group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be
identified with the individual financial assets in the group.
Such information may include adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group (for
example, an increased number of delayed payments or an increased number of credit card borrowers who
have reached their credit limit and are paying the minimum monthly amount), national or local economic
conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group (for example, an increase in the
unemployment rate in the geographical area of the borrowers, a decrease in property prices for mortgages
in the relevant area, a decrease in oil prices for loan assets to oil producers, or adverse changes in
industry conditions that affect the borrowers in the group).
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of expected future
cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of the impairment provision
account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
For determination of the present value, the estimated future cash flows are discounted at the financial
asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring
any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The calculation of the present value of the
estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from
foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral.
Future cash flows in a group of loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the
basis of historical loss experience for loans with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group or
on the basis of historical information on collections of past due debts. Historical loss experience is
adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not
affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions
in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect and
are directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period (such as
changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status or other factors that
are indicative of incurred losses in the group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions
used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss
estimates and actual loss experience.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as improvement in the
debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance
account in the statement of comprehensive income.
Uncollectible assets are written off against the related allowance for impairment after all the necessary
procedures to recover the asset in full or in part have been completed and the final amount of the loss has
been determined. The carrying amount of impaired financial assets is not reduced directly.
22
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
In accordance with the Russian legislation, in case of a write-off of the uncollectible loan and relating
interest, the Bank shall take necessary and adequate steps, envisaged by law, standard business practice
or agreement, to collect this outstanding loan.
(2) Impairment of financial assets available for sale
The Bank assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial
investment or a group of investments available for sale is impaired.
In case of equity investments classified as available for sale, objective evidence of impairment would
include significant financial difficulty of the issuer supported by available information. To assess whether
there is any indication of impairment the Bank shall analyse the issuer’s activities taking into account the
influence of economic factors, including consequences of changes in the technical, market, economic or
legal environment in which the issuer operates. The Bank also assesses other factors such as volatility of
price per share.
Cumulative loss measured as a difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss on that asset previously recognised through the profit and loss accounts, is transferred
from other comprehensive income to the profit and loss accounts.
Impairment losses on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit and loss account: increases in
the fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
In case of unquoted debt instruments not carried at fair value, classified as available for sale, impairment
is assessed based on the same criteria as those for financial assets carried at amortised cost. Interest
income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount
future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded
within interest income in the statement of comprehensive income.
If in the subsequent year the fair value of a debt instrument increases, and such increase can be
objectively related to the event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income, the impairment loss is reversed and the related recovery is recorded in the
statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets, other than deferred taxes, are assessed at each reporting date for any indications of
impairment. The recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to
sell and value in use. Costs to sell are the costs associated with disposal of an asset tested for impairment,
less finance costs. Value in use of an asset reviewed for impairment is the present value of the future cash
flows expected to be derived from the use of an asset and its subsequent disposal. If there is not any
evidence of impairment of an asset reviewed for impairment, its recoverable amount is not determined.
The Bank assesses indications of possible impairment using internal and external data sources.
All impairment losses in respect of non-financial assets are recognised in comprehensive income and
reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Any
impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or
financial liabilities carried at amortised cost.
Initially, a financial liability shall be measured by the Bank at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial
liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of the financial liability.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
23
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost
Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost include due to other banks, customer accounts, debt
securities issued and other borrowed funds.
Due to other banks. Due to other banks are recorded when money or other assets are advanced to the
Bank by counterparty banks.
Customer accounts. Customer accounts are non-derivative financial liabilities to individuals, state or
corporate customers in respect of settlement accounts and deposits.
Debt securities issued. Debt securities issued include promissory notes issued by the Bank. If the Bank
purchases its own debt securities issued, they are removed from the statement of financial position and
the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid is included in other
operating income as gain from retirement of debt.
Other borrowed funds. Other borrowed funds include subordinated loans received by the Bank and are
recorded as cash is advanced to the Bank.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements
Sale and repurchase agreements (“repo” agreements) are treated as secured financing transactions.
Securities sold under sale and repurchase agreements are not derecognised, and the securities are not
reclassified. The corresponding liability is presented within due to other banks or customer accounts.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repo” agreements) are recorded as due from
other banks or loans to customers, as appropriate. The difference between the sale and repurchase price
is treated as interest income in the statement of comprehensive income and accrued over the life of repo
agreements using the effective interest rate method.
Securities lent by the Bank to counterparties continue as a loan for fixed compensation to be recognised in
the Bank’s financial statements as securities. Securities borrowed for fixed compensation are not recorded
in the Bank’s financial statements except when they are sold to third parties. In such cases, the financial
result from sale and purchase of such securities is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income
within gains less losses arising from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The obligation to
return the securities is recorded as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial
position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an
intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale
Non-current assets (which may include both non-current and current assets) are classified in the
statement of financial position as non-current assets held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction within twelve months after the reporting date.
Both financial and non-financial assets are reclassified when all of the following conditions are met:
(a) the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition;
(b) the Bank’s management approved and initiated an active programme to locate a buyer;
(c) the assets are actively marketed for a sale at a reasonable price;
(d) the sale is expected within one year; and
(e) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the plan will be
withdrawn by the Bank’s management.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale in the current period’s statement of financial position shall
not be reclassified in the comparative statement of financial position.
24
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Held for sale premises and equipment, investment property, intangible assets as a whole are measured at
the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Held for sale premises and equipment
and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised. The Bank recognises an impairment loss for any
initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. Reclassified non-current
financial instruments, deferred taxes and investment properties held at fair value are not subject to the
write down to the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost or at revalued amount, as described below, less accumulated
depreciation and impairment provision. Premises and equipment acquired prior to 1 January 2003 are
restated to the equivalent purchasing power of the Russian Rouble as at that date.
At the end of each reporting period the Bank assesses whether there is any indication of impairment of
premises and equipment. If such indication exists, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount, which is
determined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the carrying
amount of premises and equipment is greater than their estimated recoverable amount, it is written down
to their recoverable amount and the difference is charged as impairment loss to the statement of
comprehensive income.
The Bank’s buildings are revalued on a regular basis. The frequency of revaluations depends on changes in
the fair value of the assets subjected to revaluation. After initial recognition at cost, buildings are carried
at a revalued amount, which is the fair value of the items at the date of the revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed
regularly to avoid significant differences between the fair value of the revalued asset and its carrying
amount.
When buildings are revalued, any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is eliminated
against gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the
asset
Any revaluation surplus is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income as other comprehensive
income, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously
recognised through profit or loss. A decrease arising as a result of a revaluation is recognised as profit or
loss in the statement of comprehensive income, except that revaluation deficit is directly offset against
the previous surplus from revaluation of the same asset recorded within other comprehensive income as
effect of revaluation of premises and equipment.
The revaluation reserve for premises and equipment is transferred directly to retained earnings when the
surplus is realised, i.e. either on the retirement or disposal of the asset.
Gains and losses on disposal of premises and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying
amount and recorded as operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income when the expense is
incurred.
Construction in progress is carried at cost less impairment provision. As soon as construction is completed,
assets are reclassified as premises and equipment at their carrying value at the date of reclassification.
Construction in progress is not depreciated until the asset is available for use.
Depreciation
Depreciation of premises and equipment commences from the date the assets are ready for use.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Buildings – from 26 years to 30 years;

Motor vehicles – from 2 years to 7 years;

Equipment and computers – from 2 years to 20 years;

Furniture – from 2 years to 7 years.
25
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
At the end of the service life, the residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that the Bank would
currently obtain from disposal of the asset less the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already
of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The assets' residual values and useful
lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Investments in construction
Investments in construction represent the Bank’s share in the investment contracts of developers of
residential real estate and business centres acquired for the purpose of further resale. Investments in
construction are recorded at cost within other assets in the statement of financial position.
Finance lease – the Bank as lessee
A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of
an asset.
The Bank recognises finance leases as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the
date of commencement of the lease term at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property, or at
the present value of the minimum lease payments, if this amount is less than the fair value of the asset.
The discount rate to be used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the
interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine; if not, the Bank’s borrowing rate
shall be used. Initial direct costs incurred are included as part of the asset. Lease payments are
apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge
is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each reporting period.
The costs identified as directly attributable to activities performed by the lessee under the finance lease
contract, are included as part of the amount recognised as an asset under the lease.
Operating lease – the Bank as lessee
Leases of property under which the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained with the lessor
are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating lease are recognised as expenses on a
straight-line basis over the lease term and included into operating expenses in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Operating lease – the Bank as lessor
The Bank presents assets subject to operating leases in the statement of financial position according to
the nature of the asset. Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as other operating income. The
aggregate cost of incentives provided to lessees is recognised as a reduction of rental income over the
lease term on a straight-line basis. Initial direct costs incurred specifically to earn revenues from an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over
the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Share capital
Ordinary shares and non-cumulative, non-redeemable preference shares are classified as share capital.
The share capital contributed before 1 January 2003 was restated for the effects of inflation. The share
capital contributed after the above date is stated at original cost. Non-monetary contributions to the
share capital are recorded at fair value of contributed assets at the date the contributions are made.
Share premium
Share premium represents the excess of contributions over the nominal value of the shares issued.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from shareholders’ equity at the end of the reporting
period only if they are declared before or on the reporting date. Information on dividends which are
declared after the reporting date is disclosed in the subsequent events note. Net profit of the reporting
year reflected in the statutory financial statements is the basis for payment of dividends and other
appropriations.
26
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
After approval of dividends by the General Shareholders’ Meeting they are recognised in the financial
statements as distributed profits.
Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent assets are not recognised in the statement of financial position but disclosed in the financial
statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position but disclosed in the
financial statements unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote.
Credit related commitments
The Bank enters into credit related commitments, including guarantees and commitments to extend
credits. Guarantees represent irrevocable assurances of the Bank to make payments in the event that a
customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties and carry the same credit risk as loans.
Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of
loans or guarantees. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially
exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss
is less than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon
customers maintaining specific credit standards.
Credit related commitments are initially recognised at their fair value. Subsequently, they are analysed at
the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. The best estimate of
the expenditure required to settle the present obligation is the amount that the Bank would rationally pay
to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period or to transfer it to a third party at that time.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Taxation
The income tax charge/recovery comprises current tax and deferred tax and is recorded in the statement
of comprehensive income except if it is recorded directly in other comprehensive income because it
relates to transactions that are also recorded directly in other comprehensive income. Income tax expense
is recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the applicable legislation of the Russian
Federation. Current tax is calculated on the basis of the taxable profit for the year, using the tax rates
enacted during the reporting period.
Current tax is the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in respect of
taxable profits or losses for the current or prior periods. Tax amounts are based on estimates if financial
statements are authorised prior to filing relevant tax returns.
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss carryforwards and
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period which are expected to apply to the period when the temporary differences will reverse or
the tax loss carryforwards will be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes refer to the
same tax authority. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards
are recorded to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
deductions can be utilised. Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that
may be recognised in financial statements based on probable periods and amounts of future taxable
profits and future tax planning strategies.
Russia also has various other taxes, which are assessed on the Bank’s activities. These taxes are recorded
within operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Income and expense recognition
Interest income and expense are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income for all debt
instruments on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a
method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the
interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial
instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the
effective interest rate, the Bank estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial
instrument, but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all commissions and fees
paid or received by the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
Interest income includes coupons earned on fixed-income financial assets and accrued discount and
premium on promissory notes and other discounted instruments. When loans become doubtful of
collection, they are written down to their recoverable amounts and interest income is thereafter
recognised based on the rate of interest that was used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of
measuring the recoverable amount.
Fees, commissions and other income and expense items are recorded on an accrual basis after the service
is provided. Loan origination fees for loans that are not yet provided, but are probable of being drawn
down, are recognised within other assets and are subsequently taken into account in calculation of
effective yield on the loan. Fees and commissions arising from negotiating a transaction for a third party,
such as the acquisition of loans, shares and other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses, are
recorded on completion of the transaction in the statement of comprehensive income. Investment
portfolio and other advisory service fees are recognised based on the applicable service contracts.
Employee benefits and social insurance contributions
The Bank pays social insurance contributions on the territory of the Russian Federation. Insurance
contributions are recorded on an accrual basis and comprise contributions to the Russian Federation state
pension, social insurance, and obligatory medical insurance funds in respect of the Bank’s employees. The
Bank does not have pension arrangements separate from the state pension system of the Russian
Federation. Wages, salaries, contributions to the Russian Federation state pension and social insurance
funds, paid annual leaves and paid sick leaves, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued as the
Bank’s employees render the related service.
Foreign currency and precious metals
Foreign currency transactions are initially translated into the functional currency at the CBR exchange
rate in effect at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into the functional currency at the CBR exchange rate ruling at the end of the reporting
period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from revaluation of transactions in foreign currency
and precious metals are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income within gains less losses from
revaluation of foreign currency and precious metals. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency
and carried at cost are restated at the CBR exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Non-monetary
items denominated in foreign currency and carried at fair value are restated at the exchange rate in
effect at the date the fair value is determined.
Gold, silver and other precious metals are recorded at current bid prices set by the CBR. Changes in CBR
bid prices are recorded as translation differences within gains less losses from revaluation of foreign
currency and precious metals in the statement of comprehensive income. Precious metals are recorded
within other assets.
Gains and losses on purchase and sale of foreign currency and precious metals are determined as the
difference between the selling price and the carrying amount at the date of the transaction.

Individually assessed loans include loans which show certain signs of impairment, are material in value and
individually assessed by the Bank for impairment.
Unimpaired loans represent loans issued to borrowers with high level of liquidity and profitability, with no
individual signs of impairment.
Collectively assessed loans include loans grouped in homogeneous portfolios sharing common
characteristics in respect of risk exposure, and/or signs of impairment.
The credit quality of loans for which no signs of impairment have been identified differs due to a variety
of industry risks and the borrowers’ financial position.
As at 31 December 2013, current loans to customers include balances in the amount of
RUB 1 437 541 thousand (2012: RUB 1 092 546 thousand) that would otherwise be past due whose terms
have been renegotiated.
The amounts of loans recognised as “past due” represent the entire balance of such loans rather than the
overdue amounts of individual payments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent the fair value of foreign currency futures and
precious metals and oil futures.
Derivative financial instruments are normally traded on the OTC market by professional market
participants on standard contractual terms and conditions.
Contractual amounts of derivative financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts of
future cash flows involved or the current fair value of the instruments and, therefore, do not reflect the
Bank’s exposure to credit or price risks. The derivative financial instruments become favourable (assets)
or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relative to these
instruments. The aggregate contractual or notional amount of derivative financial instruments, the extent
to which instruments are favourable or unfavourable and, thus, their aggregate fair values can fluctuate
significantly from time to time.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Net deferred tax assets represent the amounts of income tax that may be offset against future income
taxes and are reported as deferred tax assets in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax asset
arising from tax loss carryfowards is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the respective tax
benefit can be utilised.
Net deferred tax liability is the amount of income taxes payable in future periods in respect of taxable
temporary differences.
As at 31 December 2013, the total deferred tax liability of RUB 597 thousand (2012: RUB 2 969 thousand)
arose from fair valuation of financial assets available for sale (Note 8). The deferred tax liability
associated with fair valuation of the above financial assets reflected within comprehensive income is also
recorded as movements in the Bank’s equity and is subsequently included in the statement of
comprehensive income at the time of disposal of financial assets available for sale.
As at 31 December 2013, the total deferred tax liability in the amount of RUB 56 480 thousand (2012:
RUB 45 739 thousand) was calculated in respect of positive revaluation of buildings to fair value and
recorded in revaluation reserve for premises and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 (Note 10).

26. Risk Management
The risk management function within the Bank is carried out in respect of financial risks (credit, market,
currency, liquidity and interest rate), operational and legal risks. The primary objectives of the financial
risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within
these limits. The assessment of exposure to risks also serves as a basis for optimal distribution of riskadjusted capital, transaction pricing and business performance assessment. The operational and legal risk
management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to
minimise operational and legal risks.
Credit risk. The Bank takes on exposure to credit risk which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable
to pay amounts in full when due. The Bank controls the credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the
amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower, or group of related borrowers. Such risks are
monitored by the Bank on a regular basis, the limits being subject to a monthly (in case the borrower is a
credit institution) or quarterly (in case the borrower is a non-credit institution) review. Limits on the level
of credit risk by product, borrowers and industry segments are approved by the Bank’s Credit Committee.
The exposure to any one borrower including banks and broker companies is further restricted by sub-limits
covering on- and off-balance sheet exposures. Actual exposures are monitored against limits daily.
Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential
borrowers to meet interest and principal repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits
where appropriate. Exposure to credit risk is also managed by obtaining property and securities collateral
and corporate and personal guarantees.
The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk is primarily reflected in the carrying amount of financial
assets in the statement of financial position. The impact of possible netting of assets and liabilities to
reduce potential credit exposure is not significant. For guarantees and commitments to extend credits,
the maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to total liabilities, as described in Note 28.
Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss as a
result of another party to a financial instrument failing to perform in accordance with the terms of the
contract. The Bank uses the same credit policies for contingent liabilities as it does for on-balance sheet
financial instruments through established transaction approvals, risk control limits and monitoring
procedures.
The Bank performs the loan maturity analysis and subsequent monitoring of overdue balances. Therefore,
the management provides information on overdue maturities and other information on credit risk, as
described in Notes 6, 7, 8 and 11.
The Bank is exposed to early redemption risk as a result of lending at fixed or variable interest rates,
including mortgage loans that give the borrower the right of early redemption. The financial result and
the Bank’s equity for the current year and at the end of the reporting period would not greatly depend on
the rate fluctuations in case of early redemption because such loans are carried at amortised cost whereas
the amount to be early redeemed corresponds or nearly corresponds to the amortised cost of loans to
customers.

NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Market risk. The Bank takes on exposure to market risk arising from open positions in interest rate,
currency and equity instruments, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. The
Credit Committee sets acceptable risk limits and monitors them on a daily basis. However, the use of this
approach does not prevent losses beyond these limits in the event of more significant market movements.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within
acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on the risk accepted.
The Bank assesses its market risk exposure in compliance with the requirements of CBR Regulation
No. 313-P of 14 November 2007 “On the Procedure of Market Risk Calculation by Credit Institutions” (as
amended by CBR Instructions No. 2321-U of 3 November 2009 and No. 2524-U of 17 November 2010).
The main instrument used by the Bank to control and manage market risk is the Value-at-Risk (VaR)
methodology. VaR is an estimate of potential loss, with a given probability and time horizon, resulting
from movements in market parameters.
The VaR model is based on the following assumptions:

Modelling using a 99% confidence level;

Historic modelling based on the analysis of intraday changes in the parameter for the period not less
than 250 trading days (1 calendar year);

Modelling horizon - 1 day.
Potential changes (fluctuations) in market prices are determined on the basis of market data for 2013.
Although VaR is a valuable tool in measuring market risk exposures, it has a number of limitations,
especially in less liquid markets:

The use of historical data as a basis for determining future events may not encompass all possible
scenarios (especially, exclusively non-standard scenarios which have a critical, extraordinary
structure);

The use of a 99% confidence level does not take into account losses that may occur beyond this level.
There is a 1% probability that the loss could exceed the estimated VaR;

The use of a holding period for a certain security related to financial assets available for sale does not
take into account the sale of certain securities before the end of a holding period;

As VaR is usually calculated on an end-of-day basis, it does not necessarily reflect exposures that may
arise on positions opened during the trading day.
The Bank does not solely rely on its VaR calculations in its market risk measurement as this methodology
has certain limitations described above. The risk of limitations of the VaR methodology is mitigated by
supplementing VaR limits with a limit on the structure of the securities portfolio by type of securities.

The Bank issued loans denominated in foreign currencies. Depending on the revenue stream of the
borrower, the appreciation of foreign currencies against the Russian Rouble may adversely affect the
borrowers’ repayment ability and therefore increases the likelihood of future loan losses.
The table below shows the change in the financial result and equity due to possible fluctuations of
exchange rates used at the end of the reporting period, if all other conditions remain unchanged.
A reasonably possible change by each currency is determined based on the analysis of historical data on
maximal movements in foreign exchange rates for December 2013. The variance analysis of foreign
exchange rates for 2013 has shown that as at 31 December 2013 a reasonably possible variance in the USD
and EUR exchange rates may reach 2%.

Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not
match. The Bank is exposed to risk via daily calls from customers on its available cash resources from
customer accounts, maturing deposits, loan draw downs and guarantees. The Bank does not accumulate
cash resources to meet calls on all liabilities mentioned above, as based on the existing practice, it is
possible to forecast with a sufficient degree of certainty the required level of cash funds necessary to
meet the above obligations. Liquidity risk is managed by the Deputy Chairman of the Bank’s Board.
Quick liquidity is managed by First Deputy Chairman of the Board overseeing the Treasury. Current and
long-term liquidity is managed by the working group including Acting Chairman of the Board, First Deputy
Chairman of the Executive Board overseeing the Treasury, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board
overseeing the Finance and Economics Department and Chief Accountant.
The Bank is keen on maintaining stable financing predominantly consisting of due to other banks, deposits
of legal entities/deposits of individuals, debt securities, and also on investing funds in diversified liquid
asset portfolios to be able to meet unexpected liquidity needs quickly and unhampered.
To manage its liquidity, the Bank is required to analyse the level of liquid assets needed to settle the
liabilities on their maturity by providing access to various sources of financing, drawing up plans to solve
the problems with financing and exercising control over compliance of the liquidity ratios with the laws
and regulations. The Bank calculates liquidity ratios on a daily basis in accordance with the requirements
of the Bank of Russia. These ratios include:
-
Quick ratio (H2) calculated as a ratio of highly liquid assets and liabilities on demand.
The minimum admissible value of Н2 is set at 15%. As at 31 December 2013, this ratio was 60.6%
(2012: 82.5%) (unaudited data).
-
Current liquidity ratio (Н3) calculated as a ratio of liquid assets and liabilities maturing within
30 calendar days. The minimum admissible value of Н3 is set at 50%. As at 31 December 2013, this
ratio was 81.3% (2012: 101.0%) (unaudited data).
-
Long-term liquidity ratio (Н4) calculated as a ratio of assets maturing in more than 1 year to equity
and liabilities maturing in more than 1 year. The maximum admissible value of Н4 is set at 120%. As at
31 December 2013, this ratio was 43.5% (2012: 31.0%) (unaudited data).
The Treasury of the Bank receives information about financial assets and liabilities. The Bank’s Treasury
controls liquidity ratios on a daily basis and, if necessary, raises funds from financial markets, mainly
interbank loans, thereby managing quick and current liquidity.
The Bank’s management monitors the daily liquidity position and also performs stress testing under a
variety of scenarios covering both normal and more severe market conditions.
The table below shows the liabilities as at 31 December 2013 by their remaining contractual maturity.
The amounts in the table represent contractual undiscounted cash flows. These undiscounted cash flows
differ from the amounts recorded in the statement of financial position, which are based on discounted
cash flows.

In those cases when the amount to be paid is not fixed, the amount in the table is determined on the basis
of conditions prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency payments are translated using
the CBR exchange rates effective at the end of the reporting period.

As the above analysis is based on expected maturity, the entire portfolio of financial assets available for
sale is categorised as “On demand and less than 1 month” in accordance with the portfolio liquidity
assessment by the management.
In the opinion of the Bank’s management, the matching and/or controlled mismatching of the maturities
and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental for successful management of the Bank. It is
unusual for the banks ever to be completely matched since business transacted is often of an uncertain
term and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also
increase the risk of losses. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an
acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity
of the Bank and its exposure to changes in interest and exchange rates.
The management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customer accounts being on demand,
diversification of these deposits by number and type of depositors, and the past experience of the Bank
would indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and stable source of funding for the
Bank.
Liquidity requirements in respect of guarantees are considerably lower than the amount of the related
commitment because the Bank does not generally expect a third party to draw funds under the
agreement. The total outstanding contractual amount of commitments to extend credits does not
necessarily represent future cash requirements, since many of these commitments will expire or
terminate without being funded.

Interest rate risk. The Bank takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of
market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Interest margins may increase as a result of
such changes but may decrease or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise.
The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk, principally as a result of lending at fixed interest rates, in
amounts and for periods, which differ from those of term borrowings at fixed interest rates. In practice,
interest rates are generally fixed on a short-term basis. Also, interest rates fixed contractually on both
assets and liabilities, are usually renegotiated to reflect current market conditions.
The Credit Committee sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate re-pricing that may be
undertaken, which is monitored regularly. In the absence of any available hedging instruments, the Bank
normally seeks to match its interest rate positions.
The table below summarises the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risks as at 31 December 2013.

If as at 31 December 2013 the interest rates had been by 50 basis points lower, provided all other
conditions remained unchanged, profit before taxation would have been by RUB 11 875 thousand
(2012: by RUB 13 691 thousand) higher as a result of the decreased interest expenses on financial
liabilities with a variable interest rate.

If as at 31 December 2013 the interest rates had been by 50 basis points higher, provided all other
conditions remained unchanged, profit before taxation would have been by RUB 11 875 thousand

27. Capital Management
The Bank’s capital management has the following objectives: to observe the capital requirements
established by the CBR, namely the requirements of the deposit insurance system; to maintain the Bank’s
operations as a going concern and to maintain its capital base at the level necessary to ensure a 10%
capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the requirements set by the Central Bank of the Russian
Federation. The control over compliance with the capital adequacy ratio set by the Central Bank of the
Russian Federation is exercised daily on the basis of the estimated and actual data as well as on the basis
of monthly reports that contain corresponding calculations controlled by the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Accountant of the Bank.
The Bank is keen on maintaining the necessary capital level in order to preserve the confidence of
creditors, investors and the market as a whole as well as to develop the future activity of the Bank. In
accordance with the current capital requirements set by the CBR, the banks should maintain the ratio of
capital to risk weighted assets (capital adequacy ratio) above the prescribed minimum level.
The table below shows the regulatory capital structure based on the Bank’s reports prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the Russian legislation:
Core capital
Secondary capital
Total regulatory capital

2 511 396
5 779 961
2 998 368
2 511 285
5 509 653
During 2013 and 2012 the Bank complied with all capital requirements set by the CBR.
As at 31 December 2013, the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio calculated based on capital requirements
established by the CBR was 13.1% (2012:16.1%) (unaudited data). The minimum admissible value is set by
the CBR at 10.0%
28. Contingent Liabilities
Legal issues. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank is subject to legal actions and complaints.
Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such actions or complaints will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the results of future operations of the Bank.
Tax legislation. Russian tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations and changes which can occur
frequently. Management’s interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of
the Bank may be challenged by the relevant regional or federal authorities. Practice shows that the tax
authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and
assessments and it is possible that transactions and accounting methods that have not been challenged in
the past may be challenged. As a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may be
assessed. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the tax authorities in respect of taxes for three calendar
years preceding the year of the review. Under certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods.

NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
As at 31 December 2013, the Bank’s management believes that its interpretation of the relevant
legislation is appropriate and the Bank’s tax, currency and customs positions will be sustained by
controlling bodies.
Operating lease commitments. Where the Bank is the lessee, the future minimum lease payments under
non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:
Less than 1 year
From 1 to 5 years

Lease expenses recognised by the Bank amounted to RUB 76 469 thousand (2012: RUB 63 913 thousand).
Credit related commitments. The main objective of these instruments is to provide funds to customers
when necessary. The total outstanding contractual amount of guarantees and undrawn credit lines does
not necessarily represent future cash requirements, as these financial instruments may expire or
terminate without being funded. However, as there is a potential risk, a provision for credit related
commitments in respect of issued guarantees is made in the statement of financial position within other
liabilities depending on customer financial position. With respect to credit risk on undrawn credit lines,
the Bank is less exposed to the risk of loss since in the case of impairment of loans issued the Bank will not
pay the remaining amounts. Therefore, a provision for these credit related commitments is equal to zero.
Outstanding credit related commitments of the Bank are as follows:
Guarantees issued
Undrawn credit lines
Less: provision for impairment of credit related commitments

29. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between knowledgeable willing parties on arm’s length conditions, other than in a forced sale
or liquidation. Quoted financial instruments in active markets provide the best evidence of fair value. As
no readily available market exists for major part of the Bank’s financial instruments, their fair value is
based on current economic conditions and the specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimates
presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank could realise in a market
exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.
Below is the estimated fair value of the Bank’s financial instruments as at 31 December 2013 and
31 December 2012:

The Bank uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following financial
instruments:
Financial instruments carried at fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, financial assets available for
sale and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial
position at their fair value.
Due from other banks. The fair value of floating rate instruments is their carrying amount. The estimated
fair value of fixed interest-bearing placements is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money
market interest rates for instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. The Bank’s management
believes that the fair values of due from other banks as at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 do
not materially differ from respective carrying amounts. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of
the investments.
Loans to customers. Loans to customers are reported net of impairment provisions. The estimated fair
value of loans to customers represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to
be received. To determine fair value, expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates.
Due to other banks. The fair value of due to other banks maturing in less than 1 month approximates the
carrying amount because of their relatively short-term maturity. The fair value of due to other banks
maturing in more than 1 month is the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the
respective year-end market rates. The Bank believes that fair values of due to other banks as at 31
December 2013 and 31 December 2012 do not materially differ from respective carrying amounts. This is
due to the relatively short-term maturity of these liabilities.
Customer accounts. The estimated fair value of liabilities with no stated maturity is based on the amount
payable at the creditor’s request. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing placements and other
borrowings without a quoted market price is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for debt
instruments with similar maturity.
71
NS Bank
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2013
(in thousands of Russian Roubles)
Debt securities issued. The fair value of fixed interest bearing financial liabilities carried at amortised
cost is determined by comparing the market interest rates at initial recognition of these instruments with
current market rates on similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing
debt securities issued is based on discounted cash flows using money market interest rates for debt
instruments with similar credit risk and maturity.
Other borrowed funds. The fair value of other fixed interest bearing borrowed funds without market
quotations is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for debt instruments with similar
maturity. The fair value of floating rate borrowed funds is their carrying amount.
Below is the fair value hierarchy of financial assets as at 31 December 2013. Level 1 includes financial
assets which are traded in an active market, whose fair values are measured based on market quotations.
Level 3 includes financial assets whose fair value is determined based on judgment or fair value
techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data.

31. Related Party Transactions
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the
ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational
decisions as defined by IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”. In considering each possible related party
relationship, attention is directed to the economic substance of the relationship, not merely the legal
form.
In the normal course of business the Bank enters into transactions with its major shareholders, directors
and other related parties. These transactions include settlements, issuance of loans, deposit taking,
guarantees, trade finance and foreign currency transactions. According to the Bank’s policy the terms of
related party transactions are equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions.
