He uses an alternative thinking approach to help his customers overcome obstacles.” 2 Annual Report 2007 Message from the Board of Directors Dear Shareholders, Ongoing political uncertainties cast a dark shadow over the Thai economy for most of 2007-through to the elections in the penultimate week of the year. As a consequence, the economy was marked by a sharp downturn in consumer and business confidence, which was further exacerbated by record high oil prices and, in the last quarter, growing concern over fall-out from the Subprime related crisis on Wall Street. Fortunately, we turned the year with the hope that a new government may be able to act quickly and decisively to restore consumer and business confidence. Despite all these woes, our Bank was able to withstand the downward trend and for the third consecutive time closed the year with another record performance: • From a shareholder perspective, this performance was manifest in the Bank achieving the highest market capitalization in the country among all financial institutions-on the back of the highest price earning multiple and price to book value. Clearly, this landmark accomplishment reflects not just on-going performance but the result of rigorous efforts over the past six years, through the Change Program initiated by the Board, to instill deep-rooted and continuous transformation of the Bank’s competitiveness and franchise value. This has now been recognized by the investor community and is manifest in the high premium accorded to its shares. At the end of 2007, SCB’s market capitalization stood at a record high of Baht 290 billion, a 48% increase from 2006 and 25% higher than the next largest financial institution in the country in terms of capitalization. It is with deep sorrow that the Board of Directors humbly places on record its heartfelt condolence to His Majesty the King and other members of our royal family on the passing of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra. We were privileged to have the late princess grace us with her presence at many important occasions at the Bank and will forever remember her unfailing charm and work ethos that has characterized her long and inspirational life. The Board of Directors, The Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited • In addition to attaining this high level of market capitalization the Bank recorded the highest growth in assets among its peers for the third consecutive year-13% over the year. It starts the new year as the clear third ranked bank by assets, rapidly closing the gap between SCB and the two higher ranked banks. 2007 performance highlights As noted earlier, 2007 was another record year for the Bank. Key performance highlights were as follows: • The Bank’s net profit increased by 31% compared to 2006 and stood at Baht 17.4 billion. This was the result of strong underlying growth in the Bank’s business -on almost all fronts-despite strong competitive pressure and also the large provision set-aside in 2006 to comply with the new IAS 39 related accounting regulations. • Net Interest Income (NII) increased by 20% as a result of both strong lending growth (+16%) and improving net interest margins (from 3.6% to 3.8%). To a large extent these achievements reflect the Bank’s ability to successfully gain market share, as planned, in the SME and Hire Purchase businesses. SME and HP loans grew significantly at nearly 40% and 44% respectively. Mr. Anand Panyarachun Chairman of the Board Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 3 • Non-NII grew 16% mainly due to the healthy performance of fee-based businesses–asset management, bank cards, and bancassurance–and significant growth in gains arising from foreign exchange activities. • Asset quality improved as anticipated, with the NPL ratio declining from 7.9% to 6.1% and a strong loan loss coverage ratio of 86%. • The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) remained at a solid level–13.1%, comprising 10.6% of Tier-1 capital and 2.5% of Tier-2 capital. The above highlights attest to the strong operating performance in 2007 despite all the macro level uncertainties. Return on Equity (ROE) at 16.5% was the highest amongst peer banks, while at the same time the Book Value per share increased from Baht 29.6 in 2006 to Baht 32.6 in 2007. Corporate Social Responsibility As a leading and well-established financial institution in Thailand, SCB is well aware of its duty as an exemplary corporate citizen to contribute to the country and the community through socially beneficial activities. With a major goal of being the ‘Bank of Choice’ for the community, in 2006, the Bank appointed a “Corporate Social Responsibility Committee” in charge of defining a CSR policy and framework, together with supervising and assessing CSR activities. To undertake CSR outreach, the Bank also assigned the Siam Commercial Foundation to take the lead in implementing youth and community development programs. With the broad aim of improving the ‘quality of life’ of Thai residents, particularly through fostering sustainable development programs and by providing improved learning opportunities for the younger generation, the Bank’s CSR activities range from environmental protection to youth development. SCB, with the cooperation of the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, participated in a reforestation project on the occasion of the 50 th Anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the Throne. With a theme of “Reforestation in Relief of Poverty”, the project’s goal was to achieve the reforestation of 14,015 rai in Amphur Mae Fah Luang, Chiang Rai. Next, as the Bank’s primary CSR focus is “promoting youth development and related learning processes”, which launched several youth development projects in 2007 including: the “Youth Development Project Following the Royally Initiated Sufficiency Economy Philosophy” to foster a lifestyle based on this philosophy among young generations, and the “SCB Challenge Project” to promote creativity, build up knowledge, and grow civic awareness among school students and undergraduates. One of the Bank’s key initiatives is consistently hosting brainstorming sessions for organizations and civil societies engaged in youth development activities to discuss and share experience. Objectives of the brainstorming sessions are 4 Annual Report 2007 Dr. Vichit Suraphongchai Chairman of the Executive Committee Mrs. Kannikar Chalitaporn President mutual learning among the participants and applying lessons learned to achieve fruitful implementation in their civil societies. In addition, SCB has carried out projects to engender a greater “civic-awareness and a spirit of volunteerism” among staff. The Bank encourages employees to play an active role in CSR activities led by executives and staff of SCB and its subsidiaries, in order to fulfil the goal of being the ‘Bank of Choice’ for the community. Development in corporate governance practices As an ongoing practice at your Board, a number of activities were conducted during the year with the aim of constructively fulfilling the Board’s roles and duties. These activities included the annual Board assessment, a meeting of independent directors, and brainstorming retreats on important issues. been the primary engine of growth in the past year. Accordingly, we expect that the Thai economy will experience modest growth of around 4.5-5% in 2008. We expect strong competition on all fronts in the financial system for most of 2008. In this context, the solid foundation that the Bank has established through its transformational Change Program will enable it to maintain the current momentum for competitive growth. In addition, we will further improve risk management practices to meet the challenges and volatility that are ahead and accelerate our on-going capability building efforts in all major business lines. We take this opportunity to thank our shareholders and customers for their continuous support, and our management and staff for their loyalty and dedication.

Chalao Wattanapong, Regional Manager, Business Banking Group, Bangkok “Chalao grows his orchids with passion and enjoys seeing them blossom beautifully. Likewise, at work the business growth of his customers has continued to drive him to work enthusiastically throughout his years at SCB.” 16 Annual Report 2007 Macroeconomic Development of the Thai Economy in 2007 and Outlook for 2008 SCB executives share their perspectives on economic and monetary outlooks with SCB customers Macroeconomic Development in 2007 Thailand’s economy expanded modestly in 2007 despite various negative shocks. Key risks moderating GDP growth last year included record high oil prices, domestic political uncertainties, a strong Thai baht, dismal consumer and business sentiment, and lingering concerns over fall out from the US sub-prime debacle. These risks adversely affected both domestic consumption and investment. Nevertheless, key positive developments in 2007 included fiscal stimulus, a low interest rate environment, and robust exports. These factors helped maintain Thailand’s growth momentum in the level of 4.8% in 2007. Overall economic stability indicators remained favorable, in particular external stability, owing to a robust performance in exports and tourism. Notwithstanding, a downturn in the global trading environment and a stronger Thai currency, the performance of the export sector has been outstanding. Strong performances in sectors/products such as automobiles, electronics, and rubber lifted export growth to a record high of 18.1% in 2007, and the current account position registered a surplus of USD 14.92 billion (equivalent to 6.6% of GDP)—the highest level in 10 years. For 2007, the inflation rate fell to 2.3%, a great improvement from 4.7% in 2006. The unemployment rate stood at 1.4%. On the demand side, in the first half of 2007 consumption and investment remained on a downward trend, reflecting a continued deterioration in both consumer and investor confidence due to higher oil prices and domestic political uncertainties. With improvement in the domestic political situation, given scheduled elections, and a low interest rate environment, in the second half of 2007 private consumption and investment showed signs of recovery, as seen from the higher consumption of durable goods and the higher import of capital goods. On the supply side, agricultural production rose by 2.3%, while underlying agricultural prices markedly increasing by 14.9%. Consequently, farm income rose by 17.6%. Meanwhile, the Manufacturing Production Index (MPI) expanded by 8.2%, largely driven by export-oriented industry. The capacity utilization rate rose slightly to 76.1%. It is interesting to note that capacity utilization rates have now exceeded their pre-1997 crisis peaks in many industries. Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 17 On the currency front, the Thai baht has continued to appreciate, propelled by both the weakening dollar and an improvement in Thailand’s current account position. Notwithstanding the Bank of Thailand’s capital control measures, the Thai baht continued to appreciate in 2007, although at a slower rate than in 2006. For the year, the Thai baht averaged THB 34.54 per USD, a 9.7% appreciation from 2006. SCB senior executives accompany Business Banking customers on a Vietnam study tour to explore business and investment opportunities Overall, monetary conditions relaxed in 2007 due to the continued reduction of the policy rate, which decreased from 5.25% per annum at the beginning of the year to 3.25% per annum by October. In response to the relaxed monetary policy stance, the 3-month fixed deposit rate and prime lending rate (MLR) were reduced to 2.00-3.13% and 6.8758.25% respectively as of end-December. Consequently, for the whole year deposits rose by only 0.2% whereas credit grew by 5.7%. new investments are expected in government-targeted industries such as automobiles and alternative energy. As a result, private investment is expected to expand between 6.0-8.0%, slightly below the 10-year average as investors may still a “wait and see” attitude towards the effectiveness of the new government’s policy formulation and implementation capabilities. Outlook for 2008 For 2008, despite the anticipated adverse global environment, overall Thai economic momentum should be sustained, largely resulting from an improvement in domestic demand. We anticipate a growth rate of 4.5 - 5.0%. From 2008 onwards, domestic demand-driven growth is expected to be the dominant driver, as opposed to the previous export-driven thrust of 2007. Revival in domestic demand hinges on: • Pent up demand, notably for durable goods. Demand for products such as automobiles, electrical appliances, housing, and motorcycles, which have experienced a continued slowdown since late 2006, is expected to make an upturn. Similarly, consumer confidence that reached a five year low in 2007 is expected to reverse direction following the formation of a new government. Private consumption is projected to expand 4.0-5.0%. • High demand for capital investments. High capacity utilization across industries indicates much needed investment expansion in industries that have seen their capacity utilization rates hover around the 80 - 90% level in 2006 and 2007, as is the case with the petroleum products and pulp & paper sectors. Moreover, significant 18 Annual Report 2007 • Policy platforms of the new government. It is expected that the policies of the new government will skew to both rural project spending and rural income enhancement. The implementation of rural policies is anticipated to yield a positive effect on grassroots spending. Already, the FY 2008 budget of THB 1.66 trillion is based on a deficit of THB 165 billion (1.8% of GDP). In addition, three mass transit projects have been approved and are expected to commence construction activities in the second half of 2008. Another positive environment in 2008 will be interest rates, which are in the low level. The monetary policy and interest rates are expected to be relaxed further following the US federal fund rate direction to revive the economy from the slow down of export.

Risk factors include political developments including the effectiveness of a coalition government, higher fuel prices, continued Thai baht appreciation, and volatile agricultural prices. Also, the implementation and enforcement of key business and financial legislation enacted by the National Legislative Assembly last year may impose some degree of uncertainty, in particular towards foreign investors. Some of these laws, such as the Product Liability Act, have been viewed as less than investor-friendly. The external sector that positively contributed to sustaining economic growth momentum in the past two years will become less robust due to a stronger Thai baht and a less favorable global trade outlook. Subprime mortgage problems and their negative spillover effects - in particular, the impact on liquidity for internationally active financial institutions as well as the availability of household credit - are expected to remain major concerns in both the United States and some OECD countries. On the currency front, the movement of the Thai baht is still subject to both internal and external developments. In particular, the dynamics of capital inflows and currency speculation are expected to remain key factors behind the volatility of the Thai currency. For 2008, the Thai baht is projected to average around THB 31.5 - 32.5 per USD. In summary, overall economic outlook for 2008 remains favorable. Domestic demand, in particular private consumption and investment, is expected to become a key engine driving the Thai economy forward. Key internal and external risks that must be closely monitored include the movement of the Thai baht, political developments, oil prices, and an economic slow down in the U.S. Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 19 Industry and Competition Review At the end of 2007, there were 18 banks in Thailand, comprising 15 commercial banks (one a foreign subsidiary), and 3 retail banks. Among these, Thai Credit Retail Bank was a new player in the Thai banking industry. The year witnessed new alliances between local and foreign banks vying to strengthen their position in coping with upcoming competition.

There was a sharp decrease in net profits from Baht 52,430 million in 2006 to Baht 5,507 million in 2007, or -89.5%. This was due to increases in loan-loss provisions in compliance with Bank of Thailand requirements, the adoption of the International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), provisions from loss in collateralised debt obligations, and corporate income tax. Net loans rose by 5.8% to Baht 4,783,453 million. Manufacturing loans, accounting for 24.5% of total lending, grew by 3.5%.

Agricultural loans declined by 7.8%, while other loans grew in line with the economic situation. Net interest and dividend income still accounted for the deposits to Baht 5,494,976 million, as interest rates tended to major source of sector income, as shown by a 6.3% increase from higher interest and dividend income and lower interest expenses. On the other hand, non-interest income decreased by 1.6%, primarily owing to investment loss, particularly from some banks’ investments in collateralised debt obligations (CDOs). Despite that, fee and service income continued to grow.

In 2007, deposit interest rates declined in the same direction as the Bank of Thailand’s policy rate. The sector’s 3-month fixed deposit rates decreased from 2.75%-4.75% in the early months to 2.00%-3.13% at year-end, while the policy rate was cut 5 times, from 5.00% to 3.25% at the end of 2007. Commercial banks also cut loan rates, and the sector’s Minimum Lending Rates (MLRs) dropped from 7.50%-8.30% to 6.875%-8.25%. Seminar on economic and money market outlooks for SCB customers As of December 31, 2007, the commercial banking sector’s gross NPLs* , embracing substandard, doubtful, doubtful loss, and loss accounts, were Baht 441,599 million, or 7.8% of the sector’s total loans, an increase of Baht 15,403 million from Baht 426,196 million or 8.0% of total loans at the end of 2006. Net NPLs* were Baht 232,458 million or 4.3% of the sector’s total loans, a slight increase from Baht 228,250 million or 4.5%, as some banks applied qualitative loan classification. Commercial banks have strengthened their businesses so as to prepare for economic growth and new regulatory measures and requirements. Basel II requirements and consolidated supervision under the Financial Institutions Act will impact banking capital, while financial liberalization and the Deposit Insurance Agency Act will lead to competition among local and foreign banks, non-bank financial institutions, and investment products – mutual funds and insurance. As a result, Thai financial institutions need to improve their services, offer products that meet a diverse range of customer needs, and develop risk management to ensure effective control and audit. The launch of the Change Program in late 2001 has enabled SCB to consistently improve business models and operations, prepare for increased competition, and comply with upcoming measures and requirements. The Bank is now ready for the competition and to strive for sustainable quality growth. * Based on Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities (From C.B 1.1) Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 21 Teamwork We enjoy working as a team.

Following a strong growth focused strategy, the Bank ranked 3rd in Thailand in terms of assets, with total assets exceeding Baht 1.1 trillion. This reflects an underlying asset growth of Baht 134 billion or 13% from 2006, significantly ahead of the market. This outstanding performance was recognized by investors, and the Bank’s market capitalization was not only the highest among Thai financial institutions, but also the highest since its establishment. Furthermore, the Bank successfully maintained market leadership in various products and services, and in the retail distribution network through the continued expansion of its branch and ATM network throughout the country. At the end of 2007 the Bank had 874 branches, 4,833 ATMs, and 141 exchange kiosks. 2007 Performance Highlights • The Bank’s asset base expanded at a strong pace. The total loan portfolio surged 16.1%. Total general loans (excluding Special Assets) increased 18.9%, with significantly better asset quality compared to 2006. The Bank’s NPL portfolio was reduced to 6.1%, reflecting successful debt restructuring and NPL sales to external investors. • Total income in 2007 soared by 18.6% from 2006 levels, driven by strong growth in both net interest income, and fee income arising from the distribution of various Bank and Group products. The growth in margin and fee based income was well ahead of its peers, and notably high for margin based income from the expanding SME and auto hire purchase segments. Similarly, the growth of fee income from cards, mutual funds, and bancassurance was impressive. • In 2007, Operating profit (profit before loan loss provisions, income taxes, extraordinary expenses, and minority interest in subsidiaries) was Baht 29.0 billion, an increase of Baht 4.3 billion or 17.2% from 2006. SCB Brand advertising Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 23 In addition, net profit increased from Baht 13.3 billion in 2006 to Baht 17.4 billion, while return on equity (ROE) rose from 13.5% in 2006 to 16.5%, reflecting the Bank’s strong operating performance. will seek to increase the level of employee participation in these activities and to closely align these activities to its desire for building a higher level of civic awareness amongst the youth. Given that the Bank is in the financial services sector, the engagement of its employees, together with that of its customers and shareholders, will ultimately provide it with a sustainable competitive edge. The Bank has hired the Gallup Organization to systematically conduct a survey on customer and employee engagement on a regular basis to gauge its progress towards achieving World Class engagement levels. The results reveal that customer and employee engagement has continuously improved over the past few years, reaching World-Class scores for the past two consecutive years. The Bank stands poised to leverage these engagement levels to deliver even higher growth and profitability to its shareholders in the years ahead. The Bank believes that the core thrust of these strategies is to propel it towards its stated vision of being the ‘Bank of Choice’ in Thailand for all its stakeholders. The challenging business goals for 2008 can be summarized by the following key financial targets: • • • • Return on Equity of 17% Loan growth of 12-15% Cost to Income ratio at 52% Gross NPLs at less than 5% Plans for 2008 The Bank will maintain the profitable growth momentum of 2007 in the year ahead. The highlights of the 2008 plans are as follows: - Positioning of the corporate banking and investment banking segments to benefit from the likely roll-out of mega projects by the newly elected government. - Further market share gains in the SME segment, particularly in Bangkok. - Re-enforcing its market leading position in the retail banking segment through further expansion of the distribution network in high traffic locations, development of new capabilities in alternate sales channels, maintaining #1 position in mortgage, credit cards, bancassurance, and mutual funds, and making significant in-roads in consumer lending products and the small business lending segment. - Enhancing the Treasury function to enter more sophisticated product and investment areas. - Further improving underlying asset quality by both strengthening risk management practices and effective resolution of most of the remaining legacy NPLs. Underpinning the above strategies will be the drive to continuously transform the franchise through differentiated capabilities. This will arise from the adoption of innovation enabling technologies, ongoing application of Six Sigma practices to improve quality and service efficiencies, and extending World-Class customer engagement levels to even more branches across the nationwide network. Finally, the Bank will strive to maintain its high employee engagement levels as this serves as the anchor for continued and sustainable growth and differentiation. In parallel with the push for business growth and differentiated capabilities, the Bank intends to increase the scale and impact of its CSR related activities. In particular, it 24 Annual Report 2007 SCB signs an agreement to finance a corporate customer CORPORATE BANKING GROUP The Corporate Banking Group serves corporate clients with annual sales over Baht 1 billion.

SIAM COMMERCIAL SAMAGGI INSURANCE PCL The Siam Commercial Samaggi Insurance Public Company Limited (SCSMG) began as a provider of non-life insurance services, and has experienced strong and steady growth since its formation, recently marking its sixtieth anniversary on July 20, 2007. The Company underwrites all classes of nonlife business, including fire insurance, marine insurance, motor insurance, and miscellaneous insurance which includes personal accident, health coverage, and industrial all risks insurance. The Company is a key subsidiary of the Bank, which has 58.9% shareholding in SCSMG. As at December 31, 2007, the Company offered its services through a network of 13 branches and 15 service counters in principal provinces nationwide, as well as through an inhouse telemarketing team. It also operates through brokers, agents, and business partners such as financial institutions and auto dealers, along with Siam Commercial Bank branches and the SCB Group which represents a major service network for the Company. 2007 Performance Highlights During the course of 2007, the Company’s business expanded considerably, achieving strong underwriting growth. Total premiums written were reported at Baht 3.3 billion, or a 64.2% increase compared with Baht 2.0 billion in 2006. Net profit for 2007 was Baht 285 million, an increase of 4.5% over the previous year. Key achievements in 2007 were: • Total Premiums The Company moved up from 15th place in last year’s direct premium rankings to 6th among 73 insurers, with a 3.2% market share (according to the Office of Insurance Commission’s rankings as of September 30, 2007). This was the result of significant expansion across all business lines, particularly the motor sector and the personal accident category under the miscellaneous sector, which grew by 165.8% and 77.1%, respectively. • Co-insurance The Company succeeded in maintaining and winning co-insurance contracts for some very large accounts. These include the underwriting of Nok Air’s fleet worth over Baht 22.17 billion for two consecutive years, and the underwriting of Mahidol University’s Centers of Excellence in Bio-Medical Research and Medical Care construction project worth more than Baht 6.15 billion. • Branch Processes Improvement In keeping with its growing business in 2007, the Company not only extended its network of branch offices and service counters, but also made improvements to branch processes. The aim was to enhance speed and efficiency in the provision of services and to cope with increasing workloads, including the timely issuance of motor policies and prompt claims payment by branches. Plans for 2008 The Company has set itself the goal of becoming one of the country’s top five non-life insurers and, at the same time, creating value for shareholders through earnings growth. Business plans for 2008 continue to focus on ensuring steady growth, increasing premium income in the most profitable segments, and achieving greater economies of scale, thereby reducing operational costs. Major plans for 2008 include: • Products & Services Expanding further into the retail business with products and services that meet the lifestyle of each customer group, while broadening the existing client base by increasing renewal process efficiency. • Multi-channels Recruiting, training, and developing more individual agents to higher standards for both Bangkok and outlying provinces. • Organization-wide process redesign Improving operational processes and procedures organization-wide so as to accommodate business expansion as well as bring service quality up to international standards and towards maximum customer satisfaction. • Preparation for new regulations Making the necessary preparations for risk-based capital requirements, as well as any other changes to controls and regulations under the new Non-Life Insurance Act which will be coming into force in the near future.

As a result, the Company has jumped from 32nd place as at the end of 2006 to 9 th place at the end of September 2007 rankings for direct motor premiums. • Product Development New insurance products were introduced, while existing products and services were improved and developed to better serve the needs and lifestyles of customers and offer clients a greater choice of solutions. These ranged from the special “Kumkha Ounjai” 3rd class motor policies, personal accident policies with medical payment coverage, gold shop insurance, to insurance for third-party liability for building surveyors. CHANGE PROGRAM At the end of 2001, the Bank launched a Change Program to transform its franchise through enhancing its profitability and developing its competitive capabilities. In the first phase, Atmosphere of the “Staying Competitive” Change Program Forum Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 35 the Program focused on re-building the ‘foundation’ of the Bank in terms of the underlying business and operating model, together with the supporting systems and processes that were required to compete. In the second phase, the focus shifted to projects that supported business growth in its core businesses, particularly in the retail banking segment. In the third and latest phase, the emphasis is on building capabilities to support differentiation. The Program is managed by the Change Program Steering Committee (CPSC), under the oversight of the Board of Directors. The CPSC is chaired by the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and its management comprises the President and other senior executives of the Bank. The “Change Program Management Office” serves as the secretariat to the CPSC and it supports and monitors all projects initiated by the CPSC, and disseminates Program updates to SCB employees through a number of communication channels. Since inception, over 75 projects have been successfully completed, including the development of new business and operating models, implementation of major new information systems, and completion of radical business process redesign initiatives. A recent assessment of the benefits realized through projects completed under the Change Program indicated that there has been a significant uplift to the operating profits, ROE, and business volumes. Additionally, the Bank has been able to develop above average project execution capabilities and foster ‘world class’ levels for employee and customer engagement. In short, the Change Program is the springboard for many of the recent achievements of the Bank. 2007 Performance Highlights The projects completed during the year included the following initiatives: • The full implementation of all modules of the ambitions Wholesale Integrated Network (WIN) project for the Corporate Banking and Business Banking Groups of the Bank. This included three distinct systems – a Borrower Risk Rating system, a Portfolio Management System and an end-to-end Loan Origination System. As a result, the Bank is competitively positioned in these segments to offer fast and efficient credit approvals with improved risk management controls. • The Zero Tolerance for Failure project was initiated to improve business efficiency and eliminate the causes of potential operational errors for four key Business Cash Management (BCM) products using the Six Sigma process improvement methodology, The outcome following implementation exceeded the Bank’s expectations and resulted in the offering of an unprecedented ‘guarantee of service’ to customers using this service. In turn, this has increased business volumes. • The SCB – King Power Cash Card Enhancement project added new and attractive features to this unique and innovative product with an aim to increase business volume and to expand the customer base. Already, one of the two types of cards on offer has been sold-out and the Bank has acquired significant new capabilities in the deployment of these new payment technologies. • ‘Closing Legacy Gaps’ for the Basel II Standardized Approach project was initiated to develop compliance within the legacy IT systems and related policies, practices and procedures with the requirements of the new Basel II regulatory framework. Through closure of these policies, processes and procedures related gaps in many lending products, the Bank expects that the capital requirements under this new framework will be minimized and that the Bank would be well positioned to move to the next level of compliance in this new framework - the Internal Ratings based approach. • The IT Strategic Planning project was initiated to develop a road map for the deployment of new systems and technologies that will efficiently support the business growth and expansion objectives – taking into account global best practices and emergent technologies. A number of critical new projects have been identified and a well justified technology investment plan agreed to for the next few years. Atmosphere of the “Dare to Dream” Change Program Forum 36 Annual Report 2007 • The Asset and Liability Management Enhancement (ALM) project was initiated to develop an organizational structure and action plan that will enable the Bank to maximize its benefits in terms of interest and exchange risks based on its risk appetite and liquidity requirements. Additionally, the project identified an improved mechanism for applying Fund Transfer Pricing so that business unit profitability can be more accurately estimated and capital resources more effectively deployed. • The first phase of the SCB Space project provided an online social networking space for all SCB employees. This innovative technology was deployed for employees to share and exchange views and information on areas of common interest through a ‘town square’ type virtual space for making new friends. This project is in line with the “reaching out” philosophy that the management believes is essential to building closer bonds across the Bank – and in subsequent phases to its customers and partners. Plans for 2008 In 2008, the 7th year of the Change Program, the continued emphasis will be on building differentiated capabilities within the Bank as a basis for sustainable growth and profitability. Projects expected to be completed in 2008 are as follows: • The multi-year Human Resource Management System (HRMS) has entered its final phase of implementation when the new benefit administration and self-service capabilities will be added to this system – making it one of the most complete implementation of this type in the world. Already, the project supports core HR functions, payroll, e-recruitment and e-learning through a fully integrated suite of products from one of the leading global IT solution providers. • Another multi-year project, the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), has proved exceptionally difficult to design and implement using one of the best available logical data model in the world. The aim is to store and access all data on an enterprise basis from a single platform. This ‘single version of the truth’ data platform will provide a huge boost to the Bank’s capabilities to retrieve, analyze and use Bank-wide information. The data will be available in multiple dimensions enabling diverse groups from all across the Bank to access and use this enormous data repository. Implementation has already commenced and the Bank expects full deployment to be completed during the year – making this one of the most comprehensive implementations of its kind in the Asia Pacific region. • In another first of its kind deployment, the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) project provides integrated imaging and workflow management. The aim is for the paper-based documentation to be replaced by electronic document formats as well as automated workflows to provide substantive cost savings and service cycle improvements, particularly in the high volume retail origination area. The initial deployment will start early in the year and will be progressively extended, in the years ahead, to other products in the retail lending and trade finance product areas. Eventually, it will be extended to cover other areas of unstructured data across the Bank. • Building on the successful implementation of the Treasury Management System, the Derivatives module is expected to be implemented early in the year. This will provide the Treasury Group with the ability to fully automate the existing derivative offerings and introduce exciting new products for clients in the future. • The Wealth Management System project will provide new capabilities in servicing private banking clients and support the Bank in maintaining its market leading position in this area. • The SCBL Strategy and Business Process Redesign is a collaborative effort between SCB and Siam Commercial Leasing Co., Ltd. (SCBL) to develop a strategy for the Group’s auto hire purchase business, as well as an operating model, so that it emerges as the leader in Thailand’s auto finance market. The project has focused on the business model that will enable both organizations to leverage from each other’s capabilities in rapidly building its market share in this business. • The Customer Call Center Telephony Solution project is designed to replace the core infrastructure that supports the customer contact center – including the interactive voice response service. The new system will allow aggressive growth in usage of this lower costs channel together with important new features to support the Call Center agents. The project marks the first step in the Bank’s efforts to build a new enterprise infrastructure that exploits emerging telephony technologies. • The Basel IRB Compliance project was initiated to prepare for the adoption of the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) approach for capital adequacy calculations. The project will entail, among others, significant investments in the underlying systems so that the Bank’s Exposure Given Default (EGD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) can be more accurately established across multiple risk classes of assets. These computations and other related improvements will lead to the adoption of more prudent basis for determining capital adequacy in compliance with the new regulatory framework. The Change Program has been the catalyst for the Bank’s success in recent years. It is a journey that will continue in the years ahead as the Bank continues with its efforts to excel in the market place through differentiated capabilities. Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 37 We volunteer to help those who need us most. Wannee Panpanit, IT Data Management Division, Bangkok “Technical knowledge about computers enables Wannee to contribute a great deal in her work at SCB, but she knows she can contribute more. Wannee volunteers to serve as a teacher to young orphan and other underprivileged children in Ang-thong province (as part of the Bank’s CSR project).” 38 Annual Report 2007 SCB and Corporate Social Responsibility The Bank regards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities as a core element of its operations and has consistently supported and participated in public service and charitable activities. In 2006, the Bank appointed a “Corporate Social Responsibility Committee” consisting of members of the Board of Directors. The Committee is in charge of defining a broad CSR framework, together with supervising and assessing the Bank’s CSR related objectives and activities. The Committee was established to elevate and energize the Bank’s drive to be perceived as an exemplary corporate citizen. While maintaining a broad framework to support and participate in public service and charitable activities, the Bank’s CSR focus is on promoting youth development and related learning processes. This focus is premised on the view that the younger generations are a key resource for the country’s development and, further, that fostering a strong sense of civic awareness among the youth will yield very significant benefits in the long run. SCB has supported schools applying the sufficiency economy philosophy in their curricula and learner development activities. Initially 7 schools participated in this program, namely, Chamdeevee School in Lamphun, Makutmuang Rachawittayalai School in Rayong, Banlaokokhungswang School in Khon Kaen, Princess Chulabhorn’s College in Petchaburi, and the Yothinburana, Surasakmontree, and Rajavinit schools in Bangkok. Volunteers from the Bank are in place to lecture teachers and students on elements of personal financial management and business administration that are consistent with this philosophy. The project has been rolled out from these schools to a network of some 80 more schools. To enhance its ability to focus on this youth orientation in its CSR activities the Bank, in 2007, modified the roles and responsibilities of the “Siam Commercial Foundation” and made it responsible for managing its youth and community development programs. The Bank has a two-pronged approach to CSR activities: through a direct role in implementing CSR activities, either solely or jointly with other organizations; and through budget support provided to public service and charitable organizations for conducting activities that are beneficial to the community. The Bank’s Role in Implementing CSR Activities SCB has a policy of utilizing the Bank’s personnel, wherever possible, to support CSR projects run by not-for-profit organizations with a “value-enhancing” approach. This value enhancement occurs through contributions in terms of ideas, planning, and execution by the Bank’s personnel involved. This policy has engendered a deeper sense of civic awareness and volunteerism amongst the employees nationwide, and in turn has led to greater participation in various CSR activities. Youth Development 1. Youth Development Project Following the Royally Initiated Sufficiency Economy Philosophy In adherence to the Royally Initiated Sufficiency Economy Philosophy, the Youth Development Project seeks to foster a lifestyle based on this philosophy among Thai children by espousing the principles of sufficiency, rational decision making, and a readiness to adapt to change through the application of knowledge and virtue.

The planted trees had a high survival rate and the project accomplished its goal of reforesting the area within the first year, while maintaining this newly forested area in the second and third year. Villagers were also provided with occupational development programs and farmer assistance funds for cooking gas, livestock, and crops in order to supplement their household incomes, resulting in better living quality and reciprocal benefits between villagers and the forest. 2. Project to Encourage Forest Restoration and Conservation by Communities The Bank has supported the Thai Fund Foundation’s “Community Award for Forest Conservation” continuously since 2004. The award aims to encourage grassroots organizations in continuing their forest restoration and conservation efforts. Covering 65 villages, 20 projects have been supported by 17 organizations. 3. Save Paper, Save Trees – No ATM Slip Campaign In 2006, the Bank introduced a campaign to minimize paper consumption by reducing the number of ATM slips – an indirect means of forest conservation. Customers can choose whether or not to receive ATM slips from the Bank’s ATMs at the conclusion of a transaction. The campaign has continued to the present time, and has received impressive response from customers and is a major success. Relief for Disaster Victims and Public Health Aid 1. SCB Relief Fund (for Tsunami Victims) Over the past 3 years the SCB Relief Fund has provided assistance to tsunami victims in 6 Andaman coastal provinces through 3 Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), namely, the Foundation for Children , the Sustainable Development Foundation, and the Population and Community Development Association.

Accordingly, the Bank has continuously strengthened risk management as a core competency by establishing a Risk Management Framework and corresponding governance structure to ensure that risks are managed efficiently and effectively with a transparent decision-making process. Risk Management System The risk management system consists of four key elements. 1. Risk Identification There are five types of risk in the Bank’s overall operations, including transactions dealing with customers and counterparties: strategic risk, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk. 2. Risk Measurement The Bank applies a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure each risk, including Risk Rating to measure the probability of a debtor payment default, Loss Given Defaut to analyse credit loss incurred if an obligor of the Bank defaults, Value at Risk (VaR), and Self-risk Assessment to evaluate the broad risk within each business unit. 3. Risk Monitoring and Control The Bank controls risk by determining risk limits to be sustained by the Bank at the organizational, product, transaction, and other levels. The Bank has a variety of internal control mechanisms in place to manage risks according to the Bank’s policies and procedures. 4. Risk Reporting Risks are reported to relevant business units so that they can manage risks appropriately and in a timely manner. Risk reporting is developed to cover risk at the product, business unit, and Bank levels. Governance Structure The governance structure for risk management can be summarized as follows: 1. Policies The Board of Directors has the authority and responsibility for approving the major risk management policies of the Bank: Credit Policy Guide, Market Risk Policy Guide, Operational Risk Policy Guide, and Consolidated Supervision Policy. 2. Authority The Board of Directors has the authority and responsibility for approving the authority of management and other committees. The authority includes loan approvals and decisions to sustain different risks based on risk level (Risk-based authority). 3. Committees Relating to Risk Management 3.1 SCB has assigned three sub-committees to deal with risk management as follows: 3.1.1 The Executive Committee is responsible for proposing and recommending risk management policies to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Executive Committee has the authority to approve loans and investments, with the management authority to administer functions as determined by the Board of Directors. 3.1.2 The Audit Committee comprises independent members of the board with responsibility for direct management over the Audit & Compliance Group. 3.1.3 The Risk Management Committee is responsible for recommending risk management policies to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, determining risk management strategies consistent with the guidance of the Board of Directors, and managing overall risks of the Bank. 3.2 SCB has several committees to manage each of the following specific risks: 3.2.1 The Assets and Liabilities Committee is responsible for managing market price risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. 3.2.2 The Investment Committee is responsible for managing the Bank’s investments. 3.2.3 The Credit Committee, the Retail Credit Committee, and the Special Assets Committee are assigned to approve each loan according to its approval authority. The Executive Committee has authority to approve loan amounts beyond the three committees’ approval authorities. However, if the loan is granted to a Bank-related business, major shareholder, or member of the Board of Directors, the credit approval authority rests with the Board of Directors. 4. Credit Risk Management With respect to wholesale credit, the Bank has established a two-tier approval process allowing decision-making to be made by a committee and individuals, with clear checks and balances between credit marketing units and credit approving units. In addition, the level of credit approval authority hinges upon a customers risk rating and the level of expected losses. Although SCB applies the statistical scorecard method for approval of retail credit, credit officers can override scorecard results within a predetermined framework. Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 45 5. Market and Liquidity Risk Management The Assets and Liabilities Management Committee is responsible for determining risk tolerance limits for managing trading portfolios and the interest rate risk in the banking book. The committee also has responsibility for determining other limits and indicators to manage and control liquidity risk. 6. Operational Risk Management In formulating the operational risk policy, each business unit has responsibility for implementing an appropriate and efficient internal control system to protect the Bank from damage arising through the acts or omissions of third parties or SCB staff as well as fraud activities or operational errors. Although SCB has a Fraud Management Division to specifically monitor transaction for potential fraud, all related business units conduct selfrisk assessments and prepare and submit monthly reports on key risk indicators to the Risk Management Committee. 7. Subsidiary Risk Management The Bank’s subsidiaries are responsible for establishing standard systems to ensure efficient risk management consistent with the consolidated supervision policy of the Bank of Thailand. The Board of Directors has approved a “Risk Management Policy for the Financial Business Group” outlining that SCB subsidiaries shall formulate a risk management policy, implement an appropriate organizational structure, set risk tolerance limits, establish a risk management methods, and prepare risk reports according to the risk management guidelines set forth by the Bank. Each subsidiary is required to implement such a policy framework to a given deadline depending on the type of business, whether it is categorized under solo consolidation or full consolidation. Furthermore, the Bank requires immediate reporting or prior approval for any transaction involving an SCB-related party (interested persons, executives, and major shareholders), including loans, investments, and contingent liabilities relating to major debtors of SCB and its subsidiaries. 8. Risk Management Unit The Risk Management Group reports to the President and is responsible for determining the framework for risk management, recommending risk management policies, monitoring, and reporting each major type of risk. The Risk Management Group has responsibility to develop the quality of risk management within the Bank to international standards, and to ensure that Bank has a consistent risk management framework throughout the organization. Key Risk Factors for Banking Operations Risks Pertaining to Economic Uncertainties Economic conditions and outlooks have a major impact on the Bank’s asset quality. At present, the Thai economy, 46 Annual Report 2007 agitated by political turmoil, has expanded sluggishly by about 4-5 percent, which is quite low compared to growth in neighboring countries. The situation is exacerbated by the strong baht against the US dollar and rising oil prices amidst the uncertainties in the world economy, particularly the sub-prime woes which may result in a slowdown, or perhaps a recession, in the US economy. If the Thai economy deteriorates significantly due to any of these risk factors, the business sector and consumers will be inevitably affected, prompting a rising level of non-performing loans. To manage risks pertaining to economic uncertainties, the Bank focuses on extending credit to low impact sectors. Also, it has strengthened underwriting standards, especially in sectors that are expected to be highly affected by any slowdown of the economy, such as real estate, some exporting industries, and businesses bearing high energy costs. Further, the Bank reviews its credit quality regularly to assure the sufficiency of loan loss provision. As a result of these reviews, the Bank increased its loan loss provision from Baht 1,901 million in 2006 to Baht 4,036 million in 2007. These policies will be maintained in 2008. Concentration Risk Concentration risk is any single exposure or group of exposures with the potential to produce large losses for the Bank in the event of problems in that sector if further credit is approved. SCB manages credit concentration risk by calculating expected maximum losses for each industry and debtor. The expected maximum losses are set as limits to cap the risk for each business sector and single debtor. The business sectors with the highest credit concentration risk are manufacturing and commercial industries, with total lending of Baht 338,474 million or 39.0% of total credit outstanding, followed by housing loans and others loans at 25.4% and 14.1%, respectively. For concentration risk loans extended to single debtors, the Bank’s top 100 loan customers had a total outstanding at the year end of Baht 211,210 million, or 25.5% of total credit outstanding. Non Performing Loan Risk (NPL Risk) (Bank basis) NPLs are categorized as one of the major risks to be sustained by the Bank if debtors fail to repay agreed debts. The Bank will not only lose interest income, but sometimes also the principal balance, whether wholly or partly, and thereby affect the Bank’s profitability and capital adequacy. At the end of 2007, Bank NPLs stood at Baht 47,460 million, representing 5.7% of total credit outstanding, down by Baht 52,690 million or 7.5% from 2006 levels. These NPLs can be classified into 4 categories: restructured debts (16.6%), debts pending completion of restructuring negotiations (44.7%), debts pending the outcome of legal proceedings (16.6%), and debts pending legal execution (22.1%). The Bank manages NPL Risk by setting aside adequate loan loss provision for expected losses. At the end of 2007, the Bank had total loan loss provision of Baht 42,171 million, or Risk from Impairment in Value of Real Property Collateral Since most collateral placed with the Bank is real estate, the Bank’s collateral will be negatively affected by a sluggish property market with declining property prices. As a result, the Bank may suffer higher losses caused by NPLs. SCB branch at a large-scale hypermarket 88.9% of NPLs, the highest coverage level in the large banking system. Off-Balance Sheet Risk In adherence to accounting standards, some of the Bank’s obligations with customers and counterparties are classified as off-balance sheet items together with underlying credit risk and market price risk, resulting from contractual failures either caused by customers, counterparties, or the Bank. At the end of 2007, the Bank’s obligations arising from aval and guarantees, liability under unmatured import bills and letters of credit amounted to Baht 31,095 million (56.2% increase from the year before). Other major obligations include: (i) foreign exchange rate contracts of Baht 993,902 million (Baht 391,570 million increase or 65.0% from the end of 2006); (ii) interest rate contracts of Baht 964,416 million (Baht 191,602 million increase or 24.8% from the end of 2006); (iii) equity derivatives of Baht 1,869 million (Baht 359 million increase or 23.8% from the end of 2006) and (iv) credit derivatives of Baht 3,166 million (Baht 2,594 million increase or 453.5% from the end of 2006). In managing Off-Balance Sheet exposure, the Bank treats such obligations as types of credit risk, required to follow the normal credit approval process together with assessing the risk tolerance limit based on each customer, counterparty, and country. Furthermore, the Bank assesses the fair value of derivatives by using the Mark-to-Market method. In general, the Bank’s obligations with counterparties require cash guarantee in case the fair value decreases beyond limits. Moreover, the Bank hedges its risk exposure to market price volatility by setting limits using a variety of risk indicators such as VaR, Basis Point Value, Stop-loss, Intraday and Overnight Position, and Stress Testing. The Bank manages impairment risk by establishing a collateral assessment policy. For a credit line higher than Baht 20 million, collateral shall be reassessed every five years, while the collateral for credit lines exceeding Baht 50 million shall be assessed every five years by an independent assessor. For non-performing loans (NPLs) and non-performing assets (NPAs), the collateral value shall be reassessed every year. The policy is implemented to ensure that the Bank’s adequacy of loan loss provision is in line with current collateral conditions and real estate market prices. Foreign Exchange Risk The fluctuation in exchange rates affects the value of the Bank’s foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Bank’s transactions exposed to foreign exchange risk include proprietary trading transactions and customer transactions concerning money transfers and payments relating to international trade and foreign investment. These transactions may result in a change of the Bank’s foreign currency position to a net creditor or a net debtor at a particular point in time. If the Thai baht appreciates against other foreign currencies, of which the Bank is a net creditor, the Bank will suffer foreign exchange loss, while the depreciation of the Thai baht will let the bank reap the benefit of foreign exchange gains. On the other hand, if the Bank is in a net debtor position, the appreciation of the Thai baht means foreign exchange gain for the Bank; and vice versa, the depreciation of Thai baht means foreign exchange loss. It is the Bank’s practices to hedge against foreign exchange risk by setting risk limits on foreign exchange risk exposure. These limits are determined by statistical methods such as VaR, as well as monetary limits such as intraday position, overnight position, and stop-loss levels, etc. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank’s foreign currency position was as net debtor of USD 40.09 million (USD equivalent), and the VaR was Baht 21.13 million. Interest Rate Risk The fluctuation of interest rates negatively affects the Bank’s interest income and expenses. Interest rate risk can be classified into 4 categories: • Repricing Risk is the risk that arises from timing differences or mismatches in the maturity and interest rate changes of the bank’s assets and liabilities, primarily caused by shifts in major interest rates. For example, if the Bank’s assets can be repriced faster than liabilities (Positive Gap), interest margin increase when interest Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 47 tenure than deposits and/or cannot be called before due dates, the Bank faces liquidity risk from not converting assets into cash to match them with liability due dates. To manage Liquidity Risk, the Bank is required to maintain liquid assets according to the criteria and level determined by the Bank of Thailand. Furthermore, the Bank has to monitor cash flows from deposits, withdrawals, loan disbursement, and debt repayment to determine the amount of money needed each day, and maintain enough liquid assets or prepare liquidity sources to match cash demand. SCB Foreign Exchange Booth at the Suvarnabhumi Airport rates rise. On the other hand, if the Bank’s assets can be repriced slower than liabilities (Negative Gap), interest margins narrow when interest rates fall. • Yield Curve Risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates may have different effects on yields or prices on similar instruments with different maturities. • Basis Risk occurs when the Bank’s assets and liabilities are based on different benchmark interest rates, e.g. fixeddeposit rates, interbank lending rates, THBFIX interest rates, etc. Therefore, any change in benchmark interest rates will affect interest rates tied with assets and liabilities differently. • Options Risk arises from implicit and explicit options in a bank’s assets and liabilities, and off-balance sheet items. The exercise of options may affect the Bank’s management of revenue and cost. For example, the option of 3-month or 6-month deposits that allow depositors to withdraw funds before the due date will, if exercised early, cause the Bank to bear sooner-than-expected costs. In dealing with interest rate risk, the Bank sets risk tolerance limits for both Trading Book and Banking Book. For Trading Book transactions, there are limits on VaR, Stop-loss levels, and Basis Point Value. For Banking Book transactions, limits are determined based on percentage of income and capital. As of December 31, 2007, the VaR from Trading Book interest rate risk is Baht 16.89 million. For the Banking Book, a 1 percent change in interest rates for a period of one year will have an impact on interest income of Baht 116 million, and a 3 percent change in interest rates for a period of one year will have an impact on capital income of Baht 582 million. Liquidity Risk Liquidity Risk is another important risk area for a commercial bank, since the Bank raises its capital from short-term funding, e.g. 3-month and 6-month deposits, and demand deposits such as savings accounts and current accounts. The Bank then uses funding from such deposits to extend loans. Since loan terms are generally of a longer 48 Annual Report 2007 In terms of liquidity management, the Bank maintains sources of liquidity at no less than 3% of deposits. The ratio is determined from the study of previous cash requirements to ensure the sufficiency of the Bank’s daily needs. Moreover, the Bank maintains a contingency plan for sufficiency of liquidity under stress scenarios, e.g. in the event that depositors panic and rush to withdraw deposits due to a lack of confidence in the banking system. The combined liquid assets and sources of liquidity must be maintained at a level of no less than 7% of deposits. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank has liquidity of Baht 133,496 million or 15.48% of deposits, which is higher than the level required by the Bank of Thailand. Furthermore, the Bank has sources of liquidity to draw on in either base case or worst case scenarios. Strategic Risk Strategic Risk occurs when the Bank is unable attain its key goals or objectives, whether caused by inappropriate goals or objectives, lack of staffing or equipment, or necessary internal support. Moreover, in a broad sense, strategic risk also refers to a failure of corporate governance. The Bank responds to this strategic risk by formulating a 3 year-strategic plan and annual business plan with the full participation of all related parties. These plans will be discussed at different levels of management, and, in the final stage, must be approved by the Board of Directors. The contents of the strategic plan and the business plan cover a survey of the industry environment, status of rivals, SWOT analysis, corporate objectives and objectives of all lines of business within the Bank, as well as strategy, plans, and supporting budgets for implementation. Moreover, the Bank regularly prepares reports on the Environment Scan and Business Health and Policy Responses Checklist for the Risk Management Committee, the Executive Committee, and the Board of Directors. This facilitates monitoring of changes in the business environment and evaluate their effect on the goals and strategies of business units for making decisions on whether or not there is a need to change such goals and strategies. In addition, the Bank monitors strategic risk by evaluating factors that may affect its achievement of goals, e.g. the loyalty of customers, the loyalty of employees, the adequacy of the management information system, operational systems, IT systems, employee attrition, etc. Operational Risk Operational Risk refers to the failure of operational processes, excluding credit risk and market risk. The Bank handles operational risk by stipulating in its policy that all departments within the Bank shall be responsible for implementing good internal control systems. The Bank also prepares monthly reports on key operational risk indicators and any operational losses for the Risk Management Committee. Although the Bank has not yet implemented control and risk self-assessment (CRSA) for the whole bank, the Bank has set a target for all key departments to implement CRSA by 2008. Nowadays, most losses under operational risk arise from credit card related fraud. To cope with this problem, the Bank implemented state-of-the-art systems and established a task force to monitor and control fraud risk with a satisfactory outcome. Also, the Bank has embarked on developing a comprehensive business continuity plan (BCP) since 2006 to mitigate operational risk. Currently, the Bank has implemented BCP for key departments and products and for its key subsidiaries. In 2008, the Bank anticipates extending BCP to outsourcing firms that provide critical services for the Bank. Risk Pertaining to Changes in Statutory Policies, Laws, Rules and Regulations whereby, in the first instances, if the Bank and its subsidiaries would like to deal with such business, the chiefs of related units must seek approval from the Chairman of the Executive Committee or the President before engaging in the business - in order to determine the appropriateness of any transaction. The matter is then reported to the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman of the Nomination, Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committee. In the second stage, the Executive Committee has the authority to approve the transaction with consent from the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman of the Nomination, Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committee. Capital Adequacy Risk The Bank of Thailand requires commercial banks to have a capital adequacy ratio of not less than 8.5 percent, no less than 4.25 percent of which must be Tier-1 capital, while Tier2 capital shall not exceed the Tier-1 ratio. If commercial banks cannot maintain regulatory capital, the Bank of Thailand has the authority to take the appropriate action. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank has overall capital of Baht 103,637 million, classified as Tier-1 capital of Baht 83,708 million (10.6% of risk-weighted capital) and Tier-2 capital of Baht 19,929 million (2.5% of risk-weighted capital). Therefore, the Bank’s capital is higher than regulatory capital. Accordingly, the Bank is confident that this level of capital is more than adequate in responding to economic uncertainties and the operations of the Bank. It is the Bank’s responsibility to comply with statutory rules and regulations issued by the various authorities, e.g. the Bank of Thailand, the Security and Exchange Commission, the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and other relevant authorities. The Bank has a compliance unit under the Audit and Compliance Group, which directly reports to the Audit Committee. This compliance unit is responsible for providing advice, recommendations, and opinions on various issues in connection with statutory laws and regulations to ensure that the Bank’s operations are in line with compulsory rules and regulations. Reputation Risk Reputation risk relates to public perception about the Bank. Therefore, it is difficult to identify or assess this type of risk since it is influenced by political, economic, and social issues during a particular period, including specific expectations from the Bank. To manage reputation risk, the Bank relies upon the participation of the Board of Directors and senior management in order to obtain different opinions for assessing of reputation risk. The Board of Directors sets procedures for the Bank in dealing with businesses which are subject to social criticism Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 49 Our passion is what truly differentiate us when we deliver customer services. Varin Saetang, Teller, Big C Surat Thani Branch, Surat Thani “Varin loves fresh fruits and often goes out to the market with her mother to buy them.

The following persons are presently active members of the Audit Committee: 1. 2. 3. 4. Mr. Maris Samaram Mr. Tiraphot Vajrabhaya Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira Mr. Sumate Tanthuwanit Chairman of the Audit Committee Member of the Audit Committee Member of the Audit Committee Member of the Audit Committee Over the year 2007, the Audit Committee held ten meetings to extensively discuss and address important matters with executives, top management, and auditors in order to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as determined by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee charter and regulatory authorities. The Audit Committee kept the Board of Directors informed of the matters discussed at these meetings and made recommendations for necessary actions to be taken. The various tasks undertaken by the Audit Committee during the year can be summarized as follows: • Financial Reporting Reviewed and discussed with management and the auditors the Bank’s financial reports, significant accounting policies, information disclosure and Notes to Financial Statements, results of financial statement audits or reviews, and financial reporting risk issues. Recommended that top management of the Bank deal with financial matters related to the preparation of financial performance information for various aspects of the bank’s operations. • Internal Controls Considered assessment results in connection with the regular reviews of internal control systems of the Bank’s business units in key operations processes, reviewed the results of the Bank of Thailand’s annual audit and the external auditor’s remarks on internal controls from their review of the financial statements and IT system audits. Regularly reviewed risk management reports received from the Bank’s management. • Internal Audits Considered and passed new internal audit charters. Granted approval for organizational restructuring, the appointment of the Audit Division’s top management, and the audit plan. Reviewed the auditor’s internal audit efficiency assessment results, internal audit results, and credit review. Followed up closely to ensure that high-risk issues noted during audits have been addressed and improved. Both internal and external auditors continuously exchanged information and engaged in discussions with each other to boost audit efficiency and effectiveness. Provided useful suggestions about cases of fraudulent acts and operations errors and to analyze the root causes of incidents so that proper prevention guidelines can be established to reduce possible recurrence. A qualified company was hired to assess the effectiveness of the information technology internal audit function. • Governance and Regulatory Compliance Reviewed and approved the Bank’s Compliance Charter. Reviewed the formulation of compliance policies and assessment results under various subjects as determined by the regulatory authorities. Directed the Compliance & Operational Control Division to monitor the Bank’s regulatory compliance, including the performance of the Compliance & Operational Control Division. • Compliance with the Executive & Employee Ethics & Code of Conduct Monitored the communication and dissemination of the Employee Code of Conduct. Directed the concerned units to immediately report any transactions concerning conflicts of interest or connected transaction to the Audit Committee for consideration before proposing the matter to be reviewed by the Board of Directors. • External Auditors–The Audit Committee and management reviewed the performance of the external auditor during the year. In accordance with the Bank’s regular practice and to assure a continuing fresh and critical review of the Bank’s financial practices, the Audit Committee and management requested proposals from qualified accounting firms and received written and oral presentations from responding firms. After extensive review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board to appoint a new auditor and the auditor fees before endorsing the appointment and the fees to the shareholders for approval. Based on activities throughout the year 2007, the Audit Committee believes that the Bank’s financial statement and information disclosure are complete, reliable, and consistent with generally accepted accounting standards and accounting principles. Furthermore, risk management and internal controls were efficient and adequate. Internal audits are done independently and cover high-risk operations processes and the audit process are undertaken in accordance with audit standards. Operations are closely supervised to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. With all of these precautions in place, we believe the Bank can maintain its credibility and gain the trust of customers, shareholders, and its employees in line with the Bank’s vision and goals.

The Bank is strongly committed to run its business consistent with its vision of being “The Bank of Choice for our customers, shareholders, employees and community” and becoming “The Premier Universal Bank” in Thailand. In 2007, the Bank achieved its business targets and policies in terms of growth, profitability, and asset quality management. The Bank still ranked third in terms of assets, with continued leadership in Retail Banking products and services and service network coverage. At the same time, the Bank was successful in boosting market share in other business segments, especially SME loans. This continued success was recognized by shareholders and investors, and prompted the Bank’s market capitalization to jump to No. 1 among other financial institutions, with a new record high valuation of more than Baht 290 billion as of December 2007. Operating Results Siam Commercial Bank PCL reported 2007 audited operating results showing a net profit of Baht 17,356 million, up Baht 4,070 million (30.6% yoy) from Baht 13,286 million in 2006 due mainly to rising net interest and dividend income, and non-interest income, while the allowance set aside for doubtful accounts in 2007 was less than that of the previous year. The allowance set aside in 2006 was in compliance with Bank of Thailand's requirements under International Accounting Standard No. 39 (IAS 39). Operating profit (excluding allowance for doubtful accounts, corporate income tax, and minority interest in subsidiaries) was Baht 28,950 million, up Baht 4,246 million (17.2% yoy) from Baht 24,704 million in 2006.

The Bank of Thailand requires minimum total capital funds of 8.5%, with 4.25% being Tier 1 capital.

Liquidity On a consolidated basis, the Bank’s loan growth has outpaced deposit growth in 2007. Consequently, the Bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio increased from 94.4% at the end of 2006 to 102.1% at the end of December 2007. On a Bank-only basis, the ratio was 94.7% in 2007, up from 88.1% yoy.

The Bank’s policy on liquidity management is to source funds at acceptable cost. The Bank has an Assets and Liabilities Management Committee to formulate policies on liquidity management. According to Bank of Thailand requirements on liquid assets, with which the Bank is in conformity, commercial banks must maintain liquid assets equal to at least 6% of total deposits. At least 0.8% must be in deposits with the Bank of Thailand, and 0.2% as cash at the Cash Center, with the total no less than 1.0%. Interbank deposits must not exceed 2.5%, and the rest must be clean securities. For liquidity management of subsidiaries, the Bank has a policy of controlling the Group’s liquidity within an appropriate level by means of the imposition of certain rules and regulations, especially for companies with lending and asset management activities. Sources and Uses of Funds In 2007, deposits accounted for 72.9% of SCB funds. Other sources of funds included 9.6% from shareholders’ equity, 7.6% from issuance of debt instruments, and 4.5% from Interbank borrowings. Of that total, 74.7% were used in net loans and accrued interest, while another 9.5% were Interbank and money market loans, and 11.0% were applied to net investments on securities.

The problem of maturity mismatch is therefore viewed as an acceptable business risk.

The results showed a substantive and sustained improvement in customer engagement. SCB had already achieved a World-Class standard in last quarter of 2006. 81% of our customers are in the “engaged” and “fully engaged” categories. At 2007 year-end, almost 600 branches, or over 60% of the total number of branches, have attained World-Class service standards SCB also believed that employee engagement and capabilities are important to the Bank’s success. The Bank therefore commissioned the Gallup Organization to independently survey employee engagement and the results show an improving trend.

The revised standard is related to the presentation of balance sheet and statement of income and the disclosure of notes to the financial statements of the Bank with no material impact. However, the consolidated and separate financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, are still presented in accordance with the BOT’s Notification regarding the balance sheets and statements of income of commercial banks date May 10, 2001 and its related letter of July 9, 2001 (see Note 2.1). 3.1.4 Change in Accounting Policy for Investments in Subsidiaries and Associated Companies For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Bank changed its accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries and associated companies from the equity method to the cost method for the separate financial statements to comply with the Notification of Federation of Accounting Professions. This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retroactively in the separate financial statements as if the Bank had recorded such investments by the cost method according to the new accounting policy continuously. Therefore, the comparative information for the separate statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been restated to conform to the new accounting policy. Comparative information for the separate balance sheet as at December 31, 2006 and the separate statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been restated to reflect the effect of the change to cost method as follows: Balance sheet : Decrease in investments in subsidiaries and associated companies - net Decrease in retained earnings Decrease in revaluation surplus on investments Increase in foreign currency translation Decrease in unrealized gain from capital surplus on investment in subsidiary Statement of income : Increase in dividend received Decrease in gain on investments Decrease in profit sharing from subsidiaries and associated companies Decrease in net income Decrease in basic earning per share (Baht) Decrease in diluted earning per share (Baht) 106 Annual Report 2007 Million Baht As at December 31, 2006 1,665 1,570 218 199 76 Million Baht For the year ended December 31, 2006 1,439 16 1,949 526 0.28 0.16 Cumulative effects from the change in accounting policy from the past to the beginning of the years 2007 and 2006 to be adjusted to retained earnings brought forward for the separate financial statements as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are Baht 1,570 million and Baht 1,044 million, respectively. 3.2 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash on collection. 3.3 Investment in Securities The Bank classifies its investments in securities as trading securities, available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities, general investments and investment in subsidiaries and associated companies. The Bank presents these investments in the balance sheet as either short-term investments, long-term investments or investments in subsidiaries and associated companies. Short-term investments are those investments that the Bank intends to hold for less than 1 year. Long-term investments are those investments that the Bank intends to hold for more than 1 year. Trading securities are those investments that management acquires with the intent of holding these investments for a short period of time in order to take advantage of anticipated changes in the underlying market values. Trading securities are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income as either non-interest income or expense. Interest income on trading securities is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Marketable debt and equity securities that are not classified as trading securities, held-to-maturity securities, and investment in subsidiaries and associated companies are classified as available-for-sale securities and are carried at fair value, with the valuation surplus or deficit on investments presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized upon disposition or sale of the underlying securities. Interest income on available-for-sale securities is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Debt securities for which the Bank has both the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Such securities are carried at amortized cost, net of valuation allowances for impairment, if any. Premiums and discounts on heldto-maturity securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to interest income using the effective interest rate method over the term of the securities. Interest income on held-to-maturity securities is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. The Bank classifies non-negotiable promissory notes and the rights of the Bank against the non-negotiable promissory notes, which were given to the Bank by the Thai Asset Management Corporation (TAMC) upon entering into the Asset Transfer Agreement in order to transfer impaired assets of the Bank and its subsidiary, as held-to-maturity debt securities. Equity securities which are not readily marketable securities and are not subsidiaries and associated companies are classified as general investments and are carried at the historical cost, net of valuation allowances for impairment, if any. Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies in the separate financial statements are accounted for by the cost method net of allowances for impairment, if any. Investments in associated companies in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for by the equity method. Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies acquired from troubled debt restructuring and received the permission from the Bank of Thailand to hold the share exceeding the regulation which are included in general investment and available-for-sale securities are not required to account for by the equity method or to prepare the consolidated financial statements according to the announcement of Federal of Accounting Professions No. 27/2550 regarding “The Provision to Apply Thai Accounting Standards No.44 and 45”. The following methodologies are used to determine the fair value of securities held by the Bank. Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 107 The fair value of government debt securities is estimated based on monthly auction prices. In situations where no auction prices are available, the fair value is estimated based on the Thai Bond Dealing Center’s yield curve. For state enterprise debt securities without guarantees by the government, the fair value is estimated based on the yield curve of government debt securities plus an appropriate risk premium. The bidding prices at The Stock Exchange of Thailand on the last business day of the period are used to estimate the fair value of listed private sector debt and equity securities. The fair value of non-listed private sector debt securities is estimated using the prices obtained from the Thai Bond Dealing Center. In the absence of available prices, fair value is estimated by applying the BOT valuation formula and the risk free yield curve plus the appropriate risk premium. The fair value of unit trusts is estimated based on the net asset value at the end of the year. The fair value of foreign debt and equity securities listed on the foreign stock exchanges is estimated by using the bid prices at such exchanges as of the last business day of the year. The fair value of non-listed foreign debt and equity securities is determined based on values quoted by reliable international financial institutions. Valuation allowances are established and recognized as non-interest expense in the statement of income, when impairment in value of investment has occurred. Cost of securities sold during the period is calculated using the weighted average method. 3.4 Loans Overdrafts are stated at the principal amounts including interest. Certain overdrafts for which special notice has been served on the borrower and other loans are stated at the principal amount. Unearned discounts received in advance are presented as deduction from the loans. 3.5 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts represents estimation of probable losses that may have occurred from loans and other lending business at year end. The amount is in compliance with the minimum allowance for doubtful accounts required based on the BOT’s guidelines. The guidelines require banks to categorize their loan portfolios into six categories. Each loan category is subject to different levels of provisioning based on percentages established by the BOT. The guidelines established the maximum collateral valuation limits for the purpose of calculating the allowance for doubtful accounts and also require that additional provisions for loans classified as doubtful loss be made in cases where the Bank had not undertaken debt restructuring or filed lawsuits against the debtors. The minimum allowance consists of the provisions based on the regulatory loan classifications and other additional provisions required by the BOT. In December 2006, the BOT issued the notification regarding guidelines for procedures of allowance for doubtful accounts for loans classified as substandard, doubtful and doubtful loss. The significant changes are as follows: Determination of minimum allowance for doubtful accounts From December 2006 onwards Before December 2006 100% of the excess of the book value of loans over either the present value of expected future cash flow from debtors or the present value of expected cash flow from sales of collateral. The present value calculation is to be in accordance with the BOT’s guidelines. Use of historical loss rate that is adjusted with current environment factors is allowed to be used for calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts of small balance Minimum rate of 20%, 50% and 100% of the excess of the book value of loans over the collateral value or debtors classified as substandard, doubtful and doubtful loss, respectively. The collateral valuation is to be in accordance with the BOT’s guidelines. homogeneous loans (collective approach). Maximum limit of collateral value for Present value of expected cash flow from sales of 90% of the appraisal value the purpose of calculating the collateral. allowance for doubtful accounts 108 Annual Report 2007 In addition, the BOT requires banks and finance companies to perform qualitative reviews of their loans as an ongoing process. The Bank and subsidiaries, which are financial institutions, are required to periodically report the result of their compliance with these guidelines to the BOT. The allowance is in compliance with and normally exceeds the minimum requirement under BOT’s guidelines by considering each loan type. The Bank regularly reviews the collectibility of its loan portfolio and establishes the level of allowance for doubtful accounts necessary. For corporate loans, the Bank considers a borrower’s ability to repay the obligation on an individual case basis based on recent payment history and the estimated collateral value, if the expected source of repayment is from the liquidation of collateral. For SME and consumer loans, the Bank use credit portfolio statistics to do the statistical analysis (Migration Analysis) for estimation of the deterioration in the portfolio and related allowance for loans under the doubtful category. Loans which have been restructured will be reclassified. Restructured loans which were previously classified as doubtful and doubtful loss are upgraded to substandard. Restructured loans which were previously classified as substandard or special mention loans will be classified at the same class for 3 consecutive months or next 3 installment payments, whichever is the longer, at which time the loans will be reclassified as normal if the terms of the restructuring are complied with. Allowances for doubtful accounts established during the year are recognized as bad debt and doubtful accounts expense in the statement of income. Bad debts recovery is recorded as income and is presented net of bad debt and doubtful accounts expense in the statement of income. Bad debt written off is recorded as a decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Amounts written off as bad debts are made for loans which the Bank pursues the collection but not receive. These procedures comply with BOT’s notification and guidelines. 3.6 Troubled Debt Restructuring Losses on troubled debt restructuring resulting from the reduction of principal and accrued interest and other restructuring concessions including modification of terms, asset transfer, debts to equity swap, etc. are recognized as expenses in the statements of income. In case the troubled debt restructuring modifies the terms of payment, the Bank complies with the BOT’s criteria requiring the Bank to choose between the collateral method by which a loss amount is to be estimated and/or the net present value method which represents expected cash flow in the future and applying the interest rate on the restructuring date. Losses from such debt restructuring are recognized in the statement of income. The Bank records assets or shares of stock representing an equity interest in the debtor received under debt restructuring agreements at their fair value less cost to sell. However, the assets received are recorded at the amount not exceeding the recorded investment in the receivable plus the non-accrued interest income which the Bank has the ultimate legal right, in accordance with the Accounting Standard No. 34 “Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructuring”. Subsequent to the troubled debt restructuring, the Bank recalculates fair value of restructured debts based on aforementioned discount rates as of the last date of the quarterly financial statements and makes an adjustment of the valuation on the debt restructured, if the fair value has changed. The recalculation made to the quarterly financial statements is in accordance with the aforementioned BOT’s criteria. The adjustment in the valuation of restructured debt shall not cause the book value of restructured debt to exceed the investment value of restructured debt. 3.7 Properties Foreclosed Properties foreclosed consist of immovable and movable properties which are carried at the lower of investment in the loan or fair value of the property as at the year end. Should the carrying value of a property foreclosed become impaired, an allowance for impairment will be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard No. 36, Impairment of Assets. Gains or losses on sales of properties foreclosed are recognized as income or expense at the date of disposal. 3.8 Premises and Equipment Land is stated at the appraised value according to the market price method. Premises are stated at the appraised value according to the replacement cost method net of accumulated depreciation. The appraised values are determined by an independent appraiser Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited 109 according to guidelines prescribed by the BOT. The increment resulting from the appraisal is recorded in the accounts as revaluation surplus on land appraisal and revaluation surplus on premises appraisal and shown under shareholders’ equity. If the appraised values of land and premises are less than their cost, the difference is recognized as an expense in the statement of income. Depreciation of premise increment is recognized as an expense in the statement of income and the amortization of the revaluation surplus on premises appraisal is charged directly to the retained earnings by the same amount of such depreciation. Depreciation of premises is calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life which is appraised at 50 years by independent appraisers. Land of subsidiaries is presented at cost, and premises of subsidiaries are presented at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of premises of subsidiaries is calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of premises which are 15 - 40 years. Equipment is presented at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of equipment of the Bank and subsidiaries is calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the equipment which are 3 - 5 years. 3.9 Other Assets Leasehold rights are presented at cost net of accumulated amortization. The amortization is calculated by the straight-line method over the lease periods between 1 - 30 years. Goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired. Negative goodwill arising on acquisition represents the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. Goodwill and negative goodwill are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Goodwill and negative goodwill are amortized on a straight line basis over the period of 5 - 10 years. 3.10 Provident Fund The Bank has a provident fund for its employees. The Bank’s contributions are made to match with the contributions from employees and are recorded as expenses on an accrual basis. 3.11 Provision for retirement benefits Under the labor laws and the Bank’s employment policy, all employees who have been with the Bank for over 8 years are entitled to severance pay upon retirement at the age of 60. The Bank net obligation in respect of defined retirement plan is determined by estimating the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields on Government bonds. The provision for retirement benefit is calculated by using The Projected Unit Credit Method. 3.12 Interest Income and Interest Expense The Bank recognizes interest and discounts on loans as income on an accrual basis, except for interest on loans which are outstanding over 3 months at the date of the balance sheet and interest from receivables under trouble debt restructuring agreements where the borrowers’ ability to pay is uncertain. Such interest is recognized when received. The Bank reverses all accrued interest income for items which are no longer on an accrual basis.

The diluted earnings per share are calculated from net income for the year adjusted by dividend on convertible preferred shares and interest expense on convertible bonds (if any), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, on the assumption that conversion of all ordinary share equivalents have been made at the beginning of the year. Ordinary share equivalents consist of convertible preferred shares, warrants and subordinated convertible bonds. 3.18 Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currencies Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are converted into Baht at the rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the end of the year are converted into Baht at the reference BOT exchange rates at the end of the year. Gains or losses on foreign exchange transactions and translation gains or losses are recognized as income or expense for the year in the statement of income. Exchange rate differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and foreign branches are presented as “Foreign currency translation” under the shareholders’ equity in the balance sheet. 3.19 Derivatives Recognition of derivatives is as follows : 1. Derivatives for trading are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of income. 2. Derivatives for hedging of transactions which are measured on an accrual basis are recorded as off-balance sheet items and income and expense are recognised on an accrual basis equivalent to that used for the underlying transactions. 3.20 Use of Accounting Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Bank and subsidiaries to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The actual result may differ from such estimates.

The Bank and subsidiaries have adopted the policy of dealing with only creditworthy counterparty and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a mean to mitigating the risk of financial losses from defaults. In case of recognized financial assets, the carrying amount of the assets recorded in the consolidated balance sheet, net of any applicable provision for loss, represents the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Bank has a credit risk in case counterparties do not adhere to the terms of the financial contract. Credit risk also arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a derivative financial instrument will not adhere to the terms of the contract with the Bank when settlement becomes due. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the large number and diversifications of customers. 162 Annual Report 2007 7.7.2 Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises from the change in interest rates which will affect the net interest earnings in the current reporting period and in the future. Interest rate risk arises from the structure and characteristics of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity. The Bank uses various derivative transactions to manage its own asset and liability positions in order to manage interest rate exposure. The use of derivative transactions is in accordance with the policies and guidelines from the Board of Directors and is under the control of the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO).

In managing its foreign exchange risk, it is the Bank’s policy to square off its foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities positions in order to affect a net balance of foreign exchange. The Bank, therefore, endeavors to match its foreign currency denominated lending with same currency funding sources in order to minimize its exposure on foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Bank manages its exposure to currency risk by setting limits for both overnight and intra-day position, limits for stoploss position and value at risk.

The following are the derivatives used by the Bank: 1. Forward exchange contracts which are agreements to buy or sell fixed amounts of currency at agreed rates of exchange on a specified future date. 2. Currency and interest rate swaps which are agreements to exchange, and on termination of the swap, re-exchange principal amounts denominated in different currencies and may also involve the exchange of related interest payments. 3. Interest rate swaps which are agreements that involve the exchange of interest obligations with a counterparty for a specified period without exchanging the underlying or notional principal. 4. Equity derivatives which are agreements that determined values based on level of equity’s price or price of equity group or Equity Index used as underlying assets. 5. Credit derivatives which are agreements to buy or sell guarantee of credit risk related to ability to repay underlying assets. The Bank has set up objectives and policies to manage the foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk from the volatility of foreign exchange rates and interest rates by using the derivatives for serving the client’s need and the Bank’s assets and liability management purpose. These include forward exchange contracts, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, equity derivatives and credit derivatives. Such derivatives have different levels of exposures. However, the Bank controls the counterparty risks by setting-up the credit limit based on the normal lending procedures and controls the market risks by setting-up the credit limit of stop-loss, value at risk and basis point value. 170 Annual Report 2007 The total notional amounts of the derivatives at the year end do not represent the incurred risks from derivative transactions. The risks arising from the derivatives will depend on the changes in price of each derivative type. The notional amount and the fair value of derivatives as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows: Unit: Million Baht Consolidated And Separate 2007 Notional amount Forward exchange contracts Currency swap contracts Interest rate swap contracts Net Fair Value of Derivatives Less than 1 year Within 1- 5 years More than 5 years Total 739,044 1,436 877 741,357 748 36,267 97,882 118,397 252,546 (19) 160,810 248,004 73,944 482,758 1 Equity derivatives 1,094 775 - 1,869 - Credit derivatives - 1,583 - 1,583 - Unit: Million Baht Consolidated And Separate 2006 Notional amount Net Fair Value of Derivatives Less than 1 year Within 1- 5 years More than 5 years 337,156 913 - 338,069 Currency swap contracts 33,149 123,039 108,075 264,263 (69) Interest rate swap contracts (174) Forward exchange contracts Total 2,426 95,988 239,081 51,338 386,407 Equity derivatives - 1,510 - 1,510 - Credit derivatives - 572 - 572 - 7.7.7 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Normally, fair value of financial instruments is their quoted market price. However, for many financial instruments, quoted market prices are not available. Fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions including discount rate and estimated cash flow. Hence, estimated fair value from different techniques may significantly differ from each other.

Deposit and interbank and money market items – liabilities : - The fair values disclosed for deposits which are payable on demand by the depositor, are equal to the carrying values of such deposits. - Fair values for fixed-deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar deposits. - The carrying amount of interbank and money market items approximates their fair value at the reporting date. Liabilities payable on demand: The carrying amount of liabilities payable on demand approximates fair value. Securities sold under repurchase agreements: The carrying value of securities sold under repurchase agreements approximates fair value. Borrowings: - The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. - Fair values of other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Interest payable on deposits: The carrying amounts of interest payable approximate their fair values. Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance-sheet instruments are based on the difference between contract rate and spot rate at period end as adjusted with risk premium of the remaining terms of the agreements.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated and separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of The Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited, as at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of operations and the cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Without qualifying our opinion, as discussed in Note 3.1.4 to the financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Bank changed its accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries and associated companies from the equity method to the cost method for the separate financial statements to be in compliance with the Notification of Federation of Accounting Professions, and restated the separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the change in such accounting policy.
