Although the Bank’s profit before zakat and tax (PBZT) dipped to RM461.2 million, this was due to one-off provisioning for few large accounts, and does not in any way reflect the strength of our fundamentals, which continue to remain robust. 14 If anything, actions taken during the year under review serve to further enhance the Bank’s core values. Efforts were made to diversify and increase the quality of our loans portfolio while attracting more deposits from a wider range of customers. We also created more avenues for income growth through strategic product bundling and cross-selling of our cards, wealth management and Bancassurance businesses. These initiatives were supported by heightened operational efficiencies backed by increased investments in IT, as well as a more productive and energised workforce, who have been the recipients of enhanced training and professional development. One of the key focus areas in our professional development programmes is to build a strong internal knowledge base of the increasingly complex web of regulatory requirements, thus ensuring the Bank adheres to all edicts on capital adequacy, liquidity coverage, risk management and corporate governance. I’m pleased to note that these efforts have not been in vain, as the Bank is making good progress in meeting the various deadlines set by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to meet Basel II and III requirements as well as those contained in the Financial Services Act 2013 and Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. “Our net loans, advances & financing grew 6.7% to RM42.1 billion; and total assets increased by 0.5% to RM59.8 billion.” BUILDING INTANGIBLE VALUE While building the value of the Bank via financial performance and regulatory compliance, we are also creating a stronger brand and market reputation by playing a key role in community development. The Bank has over the years taken great interest in serving pockets of the community that are underprivileged. This we do via a well-oiled corporate responsibility (CR) machinery that focuses on providing aid either directly to charitable organisations, or indirectly to deserving bodies or individuals through donations or sponsorships via third parties. Given that the Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT, or the Armed Forces Fund Board) is a major shareholder of the Bank, we are supportive of initiatives driven by LTAT, especially those that target retired Armed Forces personnel or their children. We continue to make a yearly contribution of RM1 million to Yayasan Warisan Perajurit, a foundation established by LTAT to provide educational assistance to the children of current and retired Malaysian Armed Forces personnel. We also sponsored advertising activities during the threemonth Tabung Pahlawan Campaign from August to October 2015 which provides a platform for the general public to contribute to and show their support for the Malaysian Armed Forces. In conjunction with Hari Raya, we contributed RM100,000 worth of gifts to the Welfare Fund of the Malaysian Armed Forces. chairman’s statement ‘Buka Puasa’ for orphans from selected orphanages. In conjunction with Hari Raya, we organised our annual ‘Majlis Berbuka Puasa Bersama Anak-anak Yatim’ breaking of fast with orphans. Organised together with AFFIN ISLAMIC, the event this year saw us treat about 160 children from three orphanages in the Klang Valley to a scrumptious dinner at our Head Office, Menara Affin. To celebrate Chinese New Year, we visited the Old Folks Home at Jalan Ampang, where we distributed ‘ang pow’ (red packets of token cash), gifts and dry food to the residents. Firm in the belief that education is one of the most effective enablers of social empowerment, one of our flagship CR initiatives is the AFFINBANK Education Excellence Award, implemented since 2003. In 2015, the Bank presented to 39 children of Bank staff who excelled in their SPM and STPM examinations with Education Excellence Awards totalling RM58,850. Children having fun exploring Aquaria KLCC. Under the same programme, the Bank also awarded scholarships to children of Bank staff who are pursuing Diploma/Degree programmes in universities in Malaysia. To date, we have disbursed a total of RM1.09 million in tertiary education scholarships, benefitting 35 children of staff. AFFINBANK also took 69 underprivileged children on educational trips to the National Museum, Petrosains and Aquaria KLCC. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 We also contribute readily to efforts aimed at bridging the education gap. This year, we channelled RM100,000 towards Tabung Pendidikan 1 Billion, a fund for the advancement of education of the nation. Together with AFFIN ISLAMIC, we sponsored the distribution of Utusan Malaysia’s Tutor Pull-out to primary and secondary school students, to supplement reference materials used by the schools. 15 chairman’s statement Contribution of RM100,000 worth of gifts to the Malaysian Armed Forces in conjunction with Hari Raya. Since 2011, we have been sponsoring various CR efforts of BHPetrol, one of our sister companies. This includes opening savings account for underprivileged individuals featured on its TV programme Di Celah-celah Kehidupan, with an initial sum of RM1,000 as a gift from the Bank. We also sponsor the BHPetrol Orange Run organised to raise funds for selected charities. This year, proceeds were donated to Damai Disabled Person Association Malaysia, The National Autism Society of Malaysia and Pusat Harian Kanak-kanak Spastik Bandar Ipoh. Providing another platform for staff to participate in CR activity, the Bank sent teams to participate in The Edge KL Rat Race and The Bursa Bull Run. Both runs are held in aid of charities selected by the organisers. OUTLOOK Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 From all indications, the year 2016 looks set to continue to be challenging to the financial and banking sectors. Some of these challenges are due to external headwinds that are beyond our control, yet others are to do with regulatory compliance which actually serve to enhance the robustness of individual banks and, collectively, that of the entire industry. Seen in this light, we positively embrace the opportunity to strengthen our fundamentals by meeting the new requirements set upon us. 16 We shall take this opportunity of great change to review and enhance our entire operational framework – encompassing our customer interfaces and distribution channels, to our products and solutions, operations, technology, people and organisation and performance management. Our aim is to safeguard our sustainability by ensuring we remain relevant in the marketplace. A Strategic Transformation Programme led by our Managing Director/CEO with the participation of every single member of the Management team, and support of the Board of Directors has been put in place. With such strong endorsement, I have every reason to believe that it will unfold to reveal a stronger, more resilient Bank which will provide even greater value to our stakeholders. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AFFINBANK has been growing steadily in strength and stature over the last few years. For this, we have many stakeholders to thank. On behalf of our Board of Directors, I would like to acknowledge our shareholders for your belief in us. Rest assured that we are committed to growing the value of your assets. I would also like to express my appreciation to our numerous business partners, whose support has been crucial to our successes, as well as our customers who motivate us to keep innovating and producing even better, more effective products and solutions to serve their needs. I would also like to acknowledge my fellow colleagues on the Board for their wise counsel that has guided AFFINBANK through the peaks and troughs of a very dynamic and demanding industry. My sincere appreciation goes to this team for their astute and effective leadership. Most of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our employees who have demonstrated a high level of integrity and commitment in their daily actions and performance. Keep up the fantastic work, and together we will fulfil our ambitions as well as those of our stakeholders. Jen. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ismail Bin Haji Omar (Bersara) Chairman md/ceo’s performance review 0.95% 6.7% Net impaired LOANS/ financing ratio growth in net loaNS & advances/ financing 14.5% TOTAL CAPITAL RATIO Kamarul Ariffin Bin Mohd Jamil Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer As we welcome a new chapter, let me do a quick recap of 2015 - we were embroiled in the decline of our currency, collapse in oil prices, capital outflows, slowdown in China and other countries, bearish outlook for sectors such as oil & gas, property, plantation, automobile, consumer and banking. To say that Affin sailed through 2015 unscathed is an understatement. It was indeed a tough year for us; nonetheless we charted a series of milestones that we can be proud of. AFFINBANK continued to grow both our retail and business banking segments in a prudent manner. We also placed greater emphasis on enhancing our fee income via transactional banking, and on increasing our brand recognition and visibility by expanding our domestic footprint. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The intense competition as well as less disposable income of consumers across the board due to rising costs contributing to a marginal decrease in deposits of 0.5%. However, the bank’s total assets continue to grow by 0.5%, from RM59.5 billion to RM59.8 billion. BUSINESS INITIATIVES Throughout the year, the Bank continued to focus on building our deposit base via various exciting campaigns. In conjunction with Chinese New Year, we launched a “G.O.A.T.S” Campaign offering customers higher fixed deposit promotional rates, exclusive gifts and an additional 0.39% per annum Current/Savings Account interest rate to tie in with our 39th Anniversary. From March to June 2015, we ran a campaign that bundled our unit trust and fixed deposit (FD) accounts. Customers who invested a minimum of RM50,000, with an equal amount placed in the unit trust and FD account, were eligible to 5.50% interest in the FD over a three-month period. Subsequently, a promotion was held to grow the Bank’s company and individual current account base. This was followed by the AffinGOLD Home Sweet Home campaign offering special rates to new subscribers to the AffinGOLD account, which is a savings/current account designed for senior citizens. Meanwhile, we relaunched the AFFINBANK BHPetrol ‘Touch and Fuel’ MasterCard® Contactless with enhanced benefits and privileges, such as cash rebates for petrol of up to 10% on weekends at BHPetrol stations nationwide, and savings up to 0.8% with AFFIN Bonus cash rebate on overall monthly retail spending (excluding petrol and government related transactions), finance charges of only 9.99% per annum as well as personal accident insurance coverage up to RM30,000 a year. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 During the year, AFFINBANK grew our net loans, advances and financing by 6.7% year-on-year from RM39.5 billion in 2014 to RM42.1 billion. Although this was accompanied by an increase in our net impaired loans ratio from 0.84% to 0.95%, much of this increase was due to a new Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) regulation which reclassifies restructured and rescheduled (R&R) loans as ‘impaired’. Our gross impaired loans ratio similarly increased, from 1.78% to 1.80%. For the year under review, AFFINBANK’s profit before zakat and taxation (PBZT) dropped 36.0% to RM461.2 million. This was due to one-off provisioning on few large accounts. We are confident of restoring our profitability to previous levels in the coming year as Management places more emphasis on diversifying our asset and liability portfolio, concentrating on areas where we can excel. 17 md/ceo’s performance review The relaunch of AFFINBANK BHPetrol ‘Touch & Fuel’ MasterCard® Contactless. As part of efforts to increase customer convenience, hence their experience, AFFINBANK signed an agreement with Bursa Malaysia Berhad to launch an electronic subscription and payment service for those applying for our rights issue. We are only the second financial institution to provide investors such convenience. Leveraging on IT, we have also provided a channel for customers to apply for eSaver or eSaver-i account via the internet. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 In the more conventional space, we continued to extend our reach by expanding our branch network and ensuring banks are located in areas that will best serve our customers. During the year, we opened one new branch in Kota Damansara, Selangor and relocated the Kulai branch. We also installed three new off-site Self-Service Machines, bringing the total of such facilities to 119. 18 RISK MANAGEMENT To address Basel III capital adequacy requirement, Affin Holdings Berhad is issuing a Basel III-compliant RM1.0 billion subordinated loan to AFFINBANK in three stages. The first drawdown of RM400 million was executed in December 2015, the second and third drawdowns, of RM300 million each, will be issued in May 2016 and January 2017. These will replace existing sub-loans that are not Basel III-compliant. At the same time, AFFINBANK increased our capital in our wholly-owned subsidiary AFFIN ISLAMIC by RM100 million in December 2015. IT & OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS To strengthen our risk management capabilities, the Asset Liability Management System which incorporates a Large Exposure module is at its final stages of implementation. This will enable the Bank to better manage large exposures, quantify and manage interest rates as well as liquidity risk. As part of efforts to create greater operational efficiencies, the Bank is investing substantially in various IT systems and upgrades to support our day-to-day functions as well as to comply with regulatory requirements. At the same time, an internal Foreign Exchange Administration (FEA) Working Group is coordinating activities to enhance AFFINBANK’s internal compliance structure in respect of the FEA Notices. In line with BNM’s directive for all debit cards to employ the Chip & Pin system (as opposed to necessitating the owner’s signature for transactions), we are migrating to the Europay-Mastercard-Visa (EMV) chip and the Malaysian Chip Card Specification (MCCS). We are also implementing eSDMS, a Software Distribution and Management System, to improve the security of our ATMs, while ensuring our ATM Operating System runs on a supported version such as Windows 7 and above. DEVELOPING OUR HUMAN CAPITAL Meanwhile, to support our Human Resources (HR) function, we are upgrading our existing HR Management System to the latest version of PeopleSoft. In addition, we are installing a new system to support the migration of our cash rebate scheme for the Bank’s customers into a point-based loyalty programme. To become a premier Banking institution in the country, it is crucial to have people who are able to support our ambitions. The Bank has continued to invest in Human Capital Development programmes in 2015, with new and enhanced professional training and development programmes for employees. These programmes focussed on 4 main areas: Compliance, Leadership Proficiency, Functional Capabilities, Nurturing Young Talent. The Bank implemented Compliance related programmes and related initiatives to instill and strengthen knowledge so as to ensure adherence to regulatory and statutory requirements, which among others included Anti-Money Laundering, Personal Data Protection, Responsible Lending, Foreign Exchange Act, and the FSA/IFSA. md/ceo’s performance review Kota Damansara branch opening. The Bank strived to strengthen human capital capabilities through professional and leadership programmes at all levels, so as to enhance productivity, efficiency and performance. New programmes included Leading at the Next Level: Building Leadership Influence for Middle and Senior Leaders in the Bank. The Bank continued to provide opportunities for all levels of staff to enhance skills and meet their career aspirations. These initiatives include the Bank’s Upward Mobility Scheme, which saw more than 15% of employees filling in higher-level positions in the Bank. The Bank introduced new technical/functional training programmes to support business and operational demand for competent human capital in the Bank, which included among others, enhancement of the Relationship Management Programme, e-Shariah programmes, Tele-Collectors Training, and Professional Selling Skills Programme. The Bank also continued to build on its aspiration of nurturing young talent in the Bank. A total of 96 fresh graduates were hired in 2015, to fill various roles in the Bank, particularly in the areas of Sales and Analytics. These young talent were provided with a myriad of training programmes, which included both classroom and experiential learning interventions, to nurture and develop their competencies. OUTLOOK & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This year will likely be more challenging than 2015 in the face of continued economic headwinds. However, we are confident of maintaining steady performance as we build our customer and stakeholder value while intensifying all efforts to institutionalise best practices in corporate governance, capital, liquidity and risk control. The Bank will continue to target/focus on the domestic retail banking segments such as consumer deposits, digitalisation of consumer banking and cash management services, and grow our loans portfolio with a particular focus on high-end auto financing and mortgage. We began the year 2016 by launching our Affinity Group Strategic Transformation Programme which seeks to enhance every aspect of our operations to enable AFFINBANK to become a formidable Bank for our employees and customers. In order to create a discernable impact through this transformation programme, much effort will be required and with the unwavering support from our various stakeholders, this goal is within our reach. At this juncture I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their steadfast support to AFFINBANK. My heartfelt thanks to our regulators, shareholders and customers, as well as our Board of Directors, my colleagues in the Management Team and, most of all, our more than 3,500 dedicated employees.

BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 Taking into account the dynamically changing economic environment and its impacts, the Bank throughout 2015 continues to strive for business growth and withstand its position in the industry. The industry’s overall loan growth for 2015 was moderate as expected with domestic loan growth hovers in the range of 9.00% to 9.50%. Despite the challenges faced, the Bank was able to preserve its asset quality and maintain its cost-toincome ratio at 50.09%. Net impaired loans ratio stood at 0.95%, ROE (before tax) at 9.10% and ROA (before tax) at 0.80%. Overall, the Bank’s key financial numbers are very much within the industry standard. Recognising the intense competition and the need to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace, the Bank has formulated a medium to long-term transformation plans predicted upon the rapidly evolving economy as well as digitalisation and demographics. BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 2016 Gross Domestics Product (‘GDP’) growth for Malaysia is projected to be remained from last year within the range of 4.5% to 5.0% in year 2016. This reflects the impact of plunge of crude oil price where the oil prices are estimated to stay low and recover the earliest by the second half of 2016. The decline in crude oil price together with the challenging external environment and US rate hikes; continues to poses headwinds to the Malaysian Government budget, trade balance and exchange rate. Amid softer economic growth outlook and increasing regulated business environment, the Bank is confident that the domestic economy still holds much opportunity for business growth and intends to pursue these opportunities prudently. The Bank will continue to ensure that loans portfolio is well managed through proactive account management. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Our strategic focus for the business continues with the emphasis on both retail and business banking segments. The Bank will continuously pace up efforts to improve efficiency and productivity in delivering our products and services. We will retain our competitive edge and grow our business within the well-defined risk parameters and be guided by our strategic plans. 60 The Bank has put further emphasis on transactional banking as major source of fee income and further enhances our brand recognition and visibility by increasing our domestic footprint while exploring the potential of establishing a presence in ASEAN and beyond. We believe that the strong relationship built with our customers will put us in good stead to further grow our business in targeted key segments. The Bank will also continue to collaborate and leverage on Group synergy by exploring potential business opportunities with the LTAT/Boustead Group of Companies. directors’ report for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 RATING BY EXTERNAL AGENCIES The Bank has been rated by the following external rating agency: Name of rating agency: RATING AGENCY MALAYSIA BERHAD (‘RAM’) Date of rating: 21 August 2015 Rating classifications: - Long term: AA3 - Short term: P1 RAM has reaffirmed the Bank’s long-term and short-term financial institution ratings, at AA3 and P1, respectively, with a stable outlook. ‘AA’ rating is defined by RAM as an entity has a strong capacity to meets its financial obligations and is resilient against adverse changes in circumstances, economic condition and/or operating environments.

Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR (Note 2) 69 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years presented, unless otherwise stated. (A) BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial statements of the Group and the Bank have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (‘MFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The financial statements incorporate those activities relating to Islamic banking business which have been undertaken by AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. Islamic banking business refers generally to the acceptance of deposits and granting of financing under the Shariah principles. The financial statements of the Group and the Bank have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated in this summary of significant accounting policies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. It also requires Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Group and Bank’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 45. Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are effective The Group and the Bank have applied the following amendments for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2015: • Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2010 - 2012 Cycle • Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2011 - 2013 Cycle • Amendments to MFRS 119 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employees Contributions” The adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the current or any prior year and are not likely to affect future periods. Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group and the Bank but not yet effective Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2016. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Bank, except the following set out below: 70 • Amendment to MFRS 11 ‘Joint arrangements’ (effective from 1 January 2016) requires an investor to apply the principles of MFRS 3 ‘Business Combination’ when it acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments are applicable to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of additional interest in the same joint operation. However, a previously held interest is not remeasured when the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation results in retaining joint control. • Amendments to MFRS 116 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and MFRS 138 ‘Intangible assets’ (effective from 1 January 2016) clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment is not appropriate. This is because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendments to MFRS 138 also clarify that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption can be overcome only in the limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue or where it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. • MFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from 1 January 2018) will replace MFRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. MFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model in MFRS 139 and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value through profit or loss with an irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI (provided the instrument is not held for trading). A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (A) BASIS OF PREPARATION Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group and the Bank but not yet effective (continued) For liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements. These include amortised cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. MFRS 9 introduces an expected credit loss model on impairment for all financial assets that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in MFRS 139. The expected credit loss model is forward-looking and eliminates the need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. • MFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from 1 January 2018) replaces MFRS 118 ‘Revenue’ and MFRS 111 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The core principle in MFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group and the Bank will apply these standards when effective. The adoption of the above standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards are not expected to have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Bank except for MFRS 9. The financial effect of adoption of MFRS 9 is still being assessed by the Group and the Bank. (B)CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank, subsidiaries and a joint venture, made up to the end of the financial year. (i)Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on the acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the total of the consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 71 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (B)CONSOLIDATION (i) Subsidiaries (continued) Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The Group applies predecessor accounting to account for business combinations under common control. Under the predecessor accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are not restated to their respective fair values but at the carrying amounts from the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate holding company of the Group and adjusted to ensure uniform accounting policies of the Group. The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities (as of the date of the transaction) of the acquired entity is recognised as an adjustment to equity. No additional goodwill is recognised. The acquired entity’s results, assets and liabilities are consolidated from the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction occurred. The corresponding amounts for the previous year are not restated. Inter-company transactions, balances, unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. (ii) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in equity attributable to owners of the Group. (iii) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Group ceases to consolidate because of a loss of control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Gains or losses on the disposal of subsidiaries include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiaries sold. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 (iv) Joint arrangements 72 Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated statement of financial position. Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognised at cost, and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the joint venture in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the joint venture in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from a joint venture are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint venture, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the joint venture exceeds its recoverable amount. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interests in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (B)CONSOLIDATION (iv) Joint arrangements (continued) When the Group ceases to equity account its joint venture because of a loss of joint control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of the entity is accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a joint venture is reduced but joint control is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. (C) INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINT VENTURES IN SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the Bank’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, the difference between disposal proceeds and carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss. The amounts due from subsidiaries of which the Bank does not expect repayment in the foreseeable future are considered as part of the Bank’s investments in the subsidiaries. (D) INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill arises from a business combination and represents the excess of the aggregate of fair value of consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. If the fair value of consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interest and the fair value of previously held interest in the acquiree are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquiree, the resulting gain is recognised in the profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units (“CGUs”), or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. Computer software (i) it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use; (ii) management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it; (iii) there is an ability to use or sell the software product; (iv) it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits; (v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and (vi) the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group and the Bank are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: 73 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (D) INTANGIBLE ASSETS Computer software (continued) Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use over their estimated useful lives of five years. (E) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to the revaluation surplus. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. In respect of other assets, any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus reserve. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 (F) RECOGNITION OF INTEREST AND FINANCING INCOME AND EXPENSE 74 Interest and financing income and expense for all interest/profit-bearing financial instruments are recognised within “interest income”, “interest expense” and “income from Islamic banking business” respectively in the income statement using the effective interest/profit method. The effective interest/profit method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest and financing income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest/profit rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest/profit rate, the Group and the Bank take into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses. Interest or income on impaired financial assets is recognised using the rate of interest/profit used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. When a loan/financing receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest/profit rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest/profit income. Interest/profit income on impaired loans/financing and receivables are recognised using the original effective interest/profit rate. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (G) RECOGNITION OF FEES AND OTHER INCOME Fees and commissions are recognised as income when all conditions precedent are fulfilled. Commitment fees for loans, advances and financing that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) and income which forms an integral part of the effective interest/ profit rate of a financial instrument is recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest/profit rate on the financial instrument. Commitment fees and guarantee fees which are material are recognised as income based on a time apportionment method. Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence. Net profit from financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and financial investments available-for-sale are recognised upon disposal of the assets, as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets. (H) FINANCIAL ASSETS Classification The Group and the Bank classify its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, availablefor-sale and held-to-maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluate this designation at the end of each reporting period. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held-for-trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges (see Note O) The Group and the Bank have not elected to designate any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. (iii) Financial investments available-for-sale Financial investments available-for-sale are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. (iv) Financial investments held-to-maturity Recognition and initial measurement Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date, the date that an asset is delivered to or by the Group and the Bank. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Financial investments held-to-maturity are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s and the Bank’s management have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group and the Bank were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available for sale. 75 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (H) FINANCIAL ASSETS Subsequent measurement – gains and losses Financial investments available-for-sale and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest/profit method. Changes in the fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, including the effects of currency translation, interest/profit and dividend income are recognised in income statement in the period in which the changes arise. Changes in the fair value financial investments available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses (see accounting policy Note I) and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets (Note N). Interest/profit and dividend income on financial investments available-for-sale are recognised separately in income statements. Interest/profit on financial investments available-for-sale calculated using the effective interest/profit method is recognised in income statements. Dividend income on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in income statements when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. De-recognition Financial assets are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Bank have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables that are factored out to banks and other financial institutions with recourse to the Group and the Bank are not derecognised until the recourse period has expired and the risks and rewards of the receivables have been fully transferred. The corresponding cash received from the financial institutions is recorded as borrowings. When financial investments available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Reclassification of financial assets 76 The Group and the Bank may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group and the Bank may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group and the Bank have the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest/profit rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust the effective interest/profit rates prospectively. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (I) IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Assets carried at amortised cost The Group and the Bank assess at the end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The criteria that the Group and the Bank use to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include among others: • • • • • • past due contractual payments; significant financial difficulties of the borrower; probability of bankruptcy or other financial re-organisation; default of related borrower; measurable decrease in estimated future cashflow than was originally envisaged; and significant deterioration in issuer’s credit rating. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest/profit rate. The asset’s carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in income statements. If ‘loans and receivables’ or a ‘held-tomaturity investment’ has a variable interest/profit rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest/profit rate determined under the contract. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in income statements. When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance account. Such assets are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. For loans, advances and financing, the Group and the Bank first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans, advances and financing that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for loans, advances and financing that are not individually significant. If the Group and the Bank determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed loans, advances and financing, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of loans, advances and financing with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. (i) Individual impairment allowance Loans, advances and financing that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. Loans/financings that are individually assessed for impairment and for which no impairment loss is required (over-collateralised loans) are collectively assessed as a separate segment. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loan/financing’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the loan/financing’s original effective interest/profit rate. The carrying amount of the loan/financing is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a loan/financing has a variable interest/profit rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest/profit rate determined under the contract. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised loan reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 77 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (I) IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (ii) Collective impairment allowance For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, loans, advances and financing are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such loans, advances and financing by being indicative of the borrowers’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loans being evaluated. Future cash flows in a group of loans/financing that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows of the loans in the Bank and historical loss experience for loans with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the Bank. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not currently exist. Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of loans should reflect and be directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period (for example, changes in unemployment rates, property prices, payment status, or other factors indicative of changes in the probability of losses in the Group and the Bank and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group and the Bank to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. Based on the Guideline on Classification and Impairment Provisions for Loans/Financing, banking institutions are required to maintain, in aggregate collective impairment provisions and regulatory reserves of no less than 1.2% of total outstanding loans/financing (excluding loans/ financing with an explicit guarantee from the Federal Government of Malaysia), net of individual impairment provisions. Banking institutions are required to comply with the requirement by 31 December 2015. As at reporting date, the Group and the Bank have maintained the collective impairment provisions and regulatory reserves of no less than 1.2% in the books. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Assets classified as available-for-sale 78 The Group and the Bank assess at the end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Group and the Bank assess at each date of the statement of financial position whether there is any objective evidence that a financial investment or group of financial investments is impaired. The criteria the Group and the Bank use to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment include non-payment of coupon or principal redemption, significant financial difficulty of issuer or obligor and significant drop in rating. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, in addition to the criteria above, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also considered as an indicator that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity is removed from equity and recognised in income statements. The amount of cumulative loss reclassified to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in income statements. Impairment losses recognised in income statements on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through income statements. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in income statements, the impairment loss is reversed through income statements in subsequent periods. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (J) FINANCIAL LIABILITIES All financial liabilities which include derivative financial instruments have to be recognised in the statement of financial position and measured in accordance with their assigned category. The Group and the Bank’s holding in financial liabilities are in financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including financial liabilities held-for-trading and those that designated at fair value) and financial liabilities at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss This category comprises two sub-categories: financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, and financial liabilities designated by the Group and the Bank as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. The Group and the Bank do not have any non-derivative financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term or if it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Derivatives are also categorised as held-for-trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified held-for-trading are included in the income statement. Other liabilities measured at amortised cost Financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and are measured at amortised cost. De-recognition Financial liabilities are de-recognised when they have been redeemed or otherwise extinguished. (K) OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. (L) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Cost also include borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 79 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (L) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life. Other property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis to allocate the cost, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows: Buildings 50 years Leasehold buildings 50 years or over the remaining lease period, whichever is shorter Renovation and leasehold premises 5 years or the period of the lease whichever is greater Office equipment and furniture 10 years Computer equipment and software 5 years Motor vehicles 5 years Depreciation on capital work in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Residual value and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised within other operating income in the income statement. (M)LEASES Accounting by lessee Finance leases Leases of property and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a periodic constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance charge is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging finance leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets and recognised as an expense in income statement over the lease term on the same basis as the lease expense. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Operating leases 80 Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on the straight-line basis over the lease period. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised in income statement when incurred. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (N) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Bank’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchanges rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. However, exchange differences are deferred in other comprehensive income when they arose from qualifying cashflow or net investment hedge or are attributable to items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in income statement, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit and loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale are included in other comprehensive income. (O) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivatives are initially recognised at fair values on the date on which derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair values at the end of each reporting period. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair values are positive and as liabilities when fair values are negative. The best evidence of fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e the fair value of the consideration given or received) unless fair value of the instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. As at reporting date, the Group and the Bank have not designated any derivative as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 81 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (P) CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES Current tax Tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. Tax is recognised in income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries and branch operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. This liability is measured using the single best estimate of the most likely outcome. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Deferred tax 82 Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax assets is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax liability is recognised for all temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries and joint venture except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally, the joint venturer is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for joint ventures. Only where there is an agreement in place that gives the joint venturer the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference, a deferred tax liability is not recognised. Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred and income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on net basis. (Q)ZAKAT Zakat represents business zakat payable by the Group to comply with the principles of Shariah and as approved by the Shariah Committee. The Bank’s subsidiary, AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad only pays zakat on its business and does not pay zakat on behalf of depositors. Zakat provision is calculated based on 2.5775% of the prior year’s net asset method. (R) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand, bank balances and deposits and placements maturing within one month which are held for the purpose of meeting short term commitments and are readily convertible to known amount of cash without significant risk of changes in value. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (S) FORECLOSED PROPERTIES Foreclosed properties are stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. (T) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS The Group and the Bank do not recognise contingent assets and liabilities other than those arising from business combination, but disclose its existence in the financial statements. A contingent liability is possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the Bank or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare case where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. However, contingent liabilities do not include financial guarantee contracts. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the Bank. The Group and the Bank do not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain. (U) BILLS AND ACCEPTANCES PAYABLE Bills and acceptances payable, which are financial liabilities, represent the Bank’s own bills and acceptances rediscounted and outstanding in the market (see Note J). (V)PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised by the Group and the Bank when all of the following conditions have been met: • the Group and the Bank have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; • it is probable that an outflow of resources to settle the obligation will be required; and • a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. Where the Group and the Bank expect a provision to be reimbursed (for example, under an insurance contract), the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as finance cost expense. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 83 summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (W) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Short-term employee benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Defined contribution plan The defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to the National Pension Scheme, the Employees’ Provident Fund (‘EPF’) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Group’s contribution to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without any possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. (X) FINANCIAL GUARANTEE CONTRACTS Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the Group or Bank to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to secure loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with MFRS 137 “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets” and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where financial guarantees in relation to loans or payables of subsidiaries are provided by the Bank for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of investment in subsidiaries. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 (Y) SALE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS 84 Securities purchased under resale agreements are securities which the Group and the Bank have purchased with a commitment to resell at future dates. The commitment to resell the securities is reflected as an asset on the statements of financial position. Conversely, obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements are securities which the Group and the Bank have sold from its portfolio, with a commitment to repurchase at future dates. Such financing and the obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability on the statement of financial position. The difference between sale and repurchase price as well as purchase and resale price are amortised as interest income and interest expense respectively on an effective yield method. summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 (Z) RESTRICTED INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS (‘RIA’) These deposits are used to fund specific financing. The RIA is a contract based on the Shariah concept of Mudharabah between two parties, i.e. investor and entrepreneur to finance a business venture where the investor provides capital and the business venture is managed solely by the entrepreneur. The profit of the business venture will be shared based on pre-agreed ratios with the Bank as Mudarib (manager or manager of funds), and losses shall be borne solely by capital provider. (AA) SHARE CAPITAL Classification Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument. Share issue costs Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are deducted against share premium account. Dividend distribution Liability is recognised for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Group, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period. Distributions to holders of an equity instrument are recognised directly in equity. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • the profit attributable to owners of the Bank, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and • the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

As the Group’s share of cumulative losses of RM2.5 million (2014: RM2.1 million) as at 31 December 2015 has exceeded its interest in the joint ventures, the Group does not recognise further losses in its financial statements. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Allowance for impairment of investment in joint ventures 100 The Bank determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidences that the investment in the joint ventures is impaired. When an objective evidence of impairment is identified, the investment in joint venture is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the joint ventures exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed based on higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the financial year ended 31 December 2015, the recoverable amount is assessed using the value in use calculations based on the cash flow projections of the property development projects covering a period of 4 to 7 years based on actual historical sales, revised for current economic and property market conditions. The cash flow projections are derived based on a number of key factors including past performance and management’s expectations of the property market developments. For financial year ended 31 December 2015, the value in use calculation was based on discount rate of 10%. Impairment was not required for investment in joint ventures. The impairment charge is most sensitive to discount rate. If the discount rate increased to 11.31% or selling price reduced by 8.27%, the estimated recoverable amount will be equal to the carrying value. notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 15 INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES AFFIN-i Nadayu Sdn Bhd (‘AFFIN-i’) On 1 April 2008, AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad (‘AiBB’) and Jurus Positif Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Nadayu Properties Berhad entered into a Musharakah Joint Venture Agreement under the Shariah principles (‘Musharakah Agreement’) to joint develop a land into a housing scheme at Bukit Gambir, Pulau Pinang.

Credit risk emanates mainly from loans, advances and financing, loan commitments arising from such lending activities, as well as through financial transactions with counterparties including interbank money market activities, derivative instruments used for hedging and debt securities. The management of credit risk in the Bank is governed by a set of approved credit policies, guidelines and procedures. Approval authorities are delegated to Senior Management and Group Management Loan Committee (‘GMLC’) to implement the credit policies and ensure sound credit granting standards. An independent Group Risk Management (‘GRM’) function, headed by Group Chief Risk Officer (‘GCRO’), with direct reporting line to Board Risk Management Committee (‘BRMC’) is in place to ensure adherence to risk standards and discipline. Portfolio management risk reports are submitted regularly to BRMC. Lending guidelines and credit strategies are formulated and incorporated in the Annual Credit Plan. New businesses are governed by the risk acceptance criteria and customer qualifying criteria/fitness standards prescribed in the Annual Credit Plan. The Annual Credit Plan is reviewed at least annually and approved by the BRMC. Credit risk measurement Loans, advances and financing Credit evaluation is the process of analysing the creditworthiness of the prospective customer against the Bank’s underwriting criteria and the ability of the Bank to make a return commensurate to the level of risk undertaken. A critical element in the evaluation process is the assignment of a credit risk grade to the counterparty. This assists in the risk assessment and decision making process. The Bank has developed internal rating models to support the assessment and quantification of credit risk. For consumer mass market products, statistically developed application scorecards are used by the Business to assess the risks associated with the credit application. The scorecards are used as a decision support tool at loan origination. Over-the-Counter (‘OTC’) Derivatives The OTC Derivatives credit exposure is computed using the Current Exposure Method. Under the Current Exposure Method, computation of credit equivalent exposure for interest rate and exchange rate related contracts is derived from the summation of the two elements; the replacement costs (obtained by marking-to-market) of all contracts and the potential future exposure of outstanding contracts (Add On charges depending on the specific remaining tenor to maturity). Risk limit control and mitigation policies The Bank employs various policies and practices to control and mitigate credit risk. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Lending limits 130 The Bank establishes internal limits and related lending guidelines to manage large exposures and avoid undue concentration of credit risk in its credit portfolio. The limits include single customer groupings, large exposures, connected parties and industry segments. These risks are monitored regularly and the limits reviewed annually or sooner depending on market and economic conditions. The credit risk exposure for derivative and loan books is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers together with potential exposure from market movements. notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 39 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (i) Credit risk (continued) Risk limit control and mitigation policies (continued) Collateral Credits are established against borrower’s capacity to repay rather than rely solely on security. However, collateral may be taken to mitigate credit risk. The main collateral types accepted and given value by the Bank are: - - - - mortgage over residential properties; charges over commercial real estate or vehicles financed; charges over business assets such as business premises, inventory and accounts receivable; and charges over financial instruments such as marketable securities. Documentary and commercial letters of credit are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan. Credit related commitments Commitment to extend credit represents unutilised portion of approved credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. In terms of credit risk, the Bank is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unutilised commitments. However, the potential amount of loss is less than the total unutilised commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific minimum credit standards. The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than short-term commitments. Credit risk monitoring Retail credits are actively monitored and managed on a portfolio basis by product type. A collection management system is in place to promptly identify, monitor and manage delinquent accounts at early stages of delinquency. Corporate credits and large individual accounts are reviewed by the Business Units at least once a year against updated information. This is to ensure that the credit grades remain appropriate and any signs of weaknesses or deterioration in the credit quality are detected. Remedial action is taken where evidence of deterioration emanates. Early Alert Process is in place to pro-actively identify, report and manage deteriorating credit quality. Watchlist accounts are closely reviewed and monitored with corrective measures initiated to prevent them from turning impaired. As a rule, watchlist accounts are either worked up or worked out within a period of twelve months. Active portfolio monitoring enables the Bank to understand the overall risk profile and identify any adverse trends or areas of risk concentrations affecting asset quality so that appropriate actions are adopted to manage and mitigate risks. For financial assets recognised on the statement of financial position, the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount. For financial guarantees granted, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount that the Group and the Bank would have to pay if the guarantee was to be called upon. For loan commitments and other commitments, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the undrawn credit facilities granted to customers. All financial assets of the Group and the Bank are subject to credit risk except for cash in hand, equity securities held as financial assets heldfor-trading or financial investments available-for-sale, as well as non-financial assets.

(ii) Market risk Market risk is the potential loss arising from movements in market variables such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The exposure to market risk results largely from interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. The market risk management framework encompasses the following approaches: • Risk control parameters are established based on risk appetite, market liquidity and business strategies as well as macroeconomic conditions. These parameters are reviewed at least annually. • Market risk stemming from the Trading book is primarily controlled through the imposition of Stop-loss and Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) Risk Control Parameters. • Interest rate risk is quantified by analysing the repricing mismatch between the rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Based on the repricing mismatch, Earnings-at-Risk (‘EaR’) or Net Interest Income (‘NII’) simulation is conducted to assess the variation in short term earnings. • In addition, the potential long term impact arising from the Bank’s exposures is also tracked by assessing the impact on Economic Value of Equity (‘EVE’), also known as Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’). • Periodic stress tests are conducted to quantify market risk arising from abnormal market movements. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 145 notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 39 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (ii) Market risk (continued) Value-at-risk (‘VaR’) Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) is used to compute the maximum potential loss amount over a specified holding period of a Trading portfolio. It measures the risk of losses arising from potential adverse movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that could affect values of financial instruments. The Bank adopts Historical Pricing Simulation Method (‘HPS’) to compute potential loss or Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) amount. The HPS Method uses the relative change of historical prices to estimate future potential changes in the market value of outstanding positions. The Bank currently adopts 250 simulated business days for its HPS VaR computation. After applying these price changes to the outstanding portfolios, 250 simulated market values for the portfolio are generated and the change in the day-to-day market value is taken as simulated Profit & Loss (‘P&L’) for the portfolio. Since VaR calculates the worst expected loss over a given day horizon and confidence level under normal market condition, the 250 values are sorted from the lowest to the highest simulated P&L. The VaR focuses on the tail of the distribution (i.e. the loss figures) at the 99th percentile.

Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage sudden decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity risk also arises from the failure to recognise changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value. Liquidity risk management is managed on Group basis. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet contractual and regulatory obligations without incurring unacceptable losses as well as to undertake new transactions. The Group’s liquidity management process involves establishing liquidity risk management policies and prudential thresholds, liquidity risk threshold monitoring, stress testing and establishing contingency funding plans. These building blocks of liquidity risk management are subject to regular reviews to ensure relevance in the context of prevailing market conditions. Liquidity risk monitoring is premised on BNM’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (‘LCR’) final standards as well as BNM’s revised Basel III Observation Period reporting for Net Stable Funding Ratio (‘NSFR’). The LCR is a quantitative requirement which seeks to ensure that the Bank holds sufficient high-quality liquid assets (‘HQLA’) to withstand an acute liquidity stress scenario over a 30-day horizon. Long term liquidity risk profile is assessed via NSFR which promotes resilience over a longer time horizon for the Bank to fund its activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis. The Bank employs liquidity risk indicators as an early alert of any structural change for liquidity risk management. Liquidity risk is tracked using internal and external qualitative and quantitative indicators. Liquidity positions in the major currencies are being closely monitored by tracking the availability of medium to long term foreign currency funding and adhering to the internal guiding principles for foreign currency assets creations. The Bank also conducts liquidity stress test to assess the Bank’s resilience to withstand short term liquidity shocks over a 30-day horizon. A Contingency Funding Plan is in place to alert and enable Management to act effectively and efficiently in handling liquidity disruption. The document encompasses early warning system, strategies, decision-making authorities, and courses of actions to be taken in the event of liquidity crisis and emergencies. Basel III Liquidity Standards The Basel Committee has developed two minimum standards for funding liquidity to achieve two separate but complementary objectives: • LCR – to promote short-term resilience of the Bank’s liquidity risk profile by ensuring that it has sufficient high-quality liquid assets to survive a significant stress scenario lasting for one month. • NSFR – to promote resilience over a longer time horizon for the Bank to fund its activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis. The BRMC is responsible for the Bank’s liquidity policy and the strategic management of liquidity has been delegated to the ALCO. The BRMC is informed regularly on the liquidity position of the Bank. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 The LCR and NSFR are tracked to assess the short term and long term liquidity risk profile of the Bank, in line with BNM’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (‘LCR’) final standards issued on 31st March 2015 as well as BNM’s revised Basel III Observation Period reporting for Net Stable Funding Ratio (‘NSFR’) and Leverage Ratio (‘LR’) issued on 7th August 2015. 161 notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 39 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (iii) Liquidity risk (continued) Liquidity risk disclosure table which is based on contractual undiscounted cash flow The table below provides analysis of cash flow payables for financial liabilities based on remaining contractual maturities on undiscounted basis.

Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 169 notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 39 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (iv) Operational risk management Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, action on or by people, infrastructure or technology or events which are beyond the Bank’s immediate control which have an operational impact, including natural disaster, fraudulent activities and money laundering/financing of terrorism. The Bank manages operational risk through a control based environment in which policies and procedures are formulated after taking into account individual unit’s business activities, the market in which it operates and regulatory requirement in force. The Bank adopts the Basic Indicator Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for operational risk. The capital requirement is calculated by taking 15% of the Bank’s average annual gross income over the previous three years. Risk is identified through the use of assessment tools and measured using thresholds mapped against risk matrix. Monitoring and control procedures include the use of key control standards, independent tracking of risk, back-up procedures and contingency plans, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans. This is supported by periodic reviews undertaken by Group Internal Audit to ensure adequacy and effectiveness of the Group Operational Risk Management process. The Bank gathers, analyses and reports operational risk loss and ‘near miss’ events to Group Operational Risk Management Committee and Board Risk Management Committee. Appropriate preventive and remedial actions are reviewed for effectiveness and implemented to minimise the recurrence of such events. As an internal requirement, all Operational Risk Coordinators must satisfy an Internal Operational Risk (including anti-money laundering/ counter financing of terrorism and business continuity management) Certification Program. These coordinators will first undertakes an online self learning exercise before attempting on-line assessments to measure their skills and knowledge level. This will enable Group Risk Management to prescribe appropriate training and development activities for the coordinators. (v) Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Group and the Bank measure fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data. 170 Financial instruments are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable in an active market. Such instruments are valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted prices is readily available, and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions. An active market is one in which transactions occur with sufficient volume and frequency to provide pricing information on an on-going basis. These would include actively traded listed equities and actively exchangetraded derivatives. Where fair value is determined using unquoted market prices in less active markets or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, such instruments are generally classified as Level 2. In cases where quoted prices are generally not available, the Group and the Bank then determine fair value based upon valuation techniques that use as inputs, market parameters including but not limited to yield curves, volatilities and foreign exchange rates. The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data and so reliability of the fair value measurement is high. Financial instruments are classified as Level 3 if their valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Such inputs are generally determined based on observable inputs of a similar nature, historical observations on the level of the input or other analytical techniques. notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 39 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (v) Fair value of financial instruments (continued) This category includes unquoted shares held for socio economic reasons. Fair values for shares held for socio economic reasons are based on the net tangible assets of the affected companies. The Group’s and the Bank’s exposure to financial instruments classified as Level 3 comprised a small number of financial instruments which constitute an insignificant component of the Group’s and the Bank’s portfolio of financial instruments. Hence, changing one or more of the inputs to reasonable alternative assumptions would not change the value significantly for the financial assets in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Group and the Bank recognise transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the transfer has occurred. Transfers between fair value hierarchy primarily due to change in the level of trading activity, change in observable market activity related to an input, reassessment of available pricing information and change in the significance of the unobservable input.

Short-term funds and placements with banks and other financial institutions For short-term funds and placements with banks and other financial institutions with maturity of less than six months, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For amounts with maturities of six months or more, fair values have been estimated by reference to current rates at which similar deposits and placements would be made to banks with similar credit ratings and maturities. Financial investments held-to-maturity The fair values of financial investments held-to-maturity are reasonable estimates based on quoted market prices. In the absence of such quoted prices, the fair values are based on the expected cash flows of the instruments discounted by indicative market yields for the similar instruments as at reporting date or the audited net tangible asset of the invested company. Loans, advances and financing Loans, advances and financing of the Group comprise of floating rate loans and fixed rate loans. For performing floating rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair values. The fair values of performing fixed rate loans are arrived at using the discounted cash flows based on the prevailing market rates of loans, advances and financing with similar credit ratings and maturities. The fair values of impaired loans, advances and financing, whether fixed or floating are represented by their carrying values, net of individual and collective allowances, being the reasonable estimate of recoverable amount. Other assets and liabilities The carrying value less any estimated allowance for financial assets and liabilities included in other assets and other liabilities are assumed to approximate their fair values. Deposits from customers, banks and other financial institutions, bills and acceptances payable The carrying values of deposits and liabilities with maturities of six months or less are assumed to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. Where the remaining maturities of deposits and liabilities are above six months, their estimated fair values are arrived at using the discounted cash flows based on prevailing market rates currently offered for similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which include non-interest bearing deposits, approximates carrying amount which represents the amount repayable on demand. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Recourse obligation on loans sold to Cagamas Berhad 176 For floating rate loans sold to Cagamas Berhad, the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of their fair values. The fair values of fixed rate loans sold to Cagamas Berhad are arrived at using the discounted cash flow methodology at prevailing market rates of similarly profiled loans. Subordinated term loan For fixed rate borrowings, the estimate of fair value is based on discounted cash flow model using prevailing lending rates for borrowings with similar risks and remaining term to maturity. For floating rate borrowings, the carrying value is generally a reasonable estimate of their fair values. notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 40 OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES In accordance with MFRS 132 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the Group and the Bank report financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis on the statements of financial position only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The following table shows the impact of netting arrangement on: • All financial assets and liabilities that are reported net on statements of financial position; and • All derivative financial instruments and reverse repurchase and repurchased agreements and other similar secured lending and borrowing agreements that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements, but do not qualify for statements of financial position netting. The table identifies the amounts that have been offset in the statements of financial position and also those amounts that are covered by enforceable netting arrangements (offsetting arrangements and financial collateral) but do not qualify for netting under the requirements of MFRS 132 described above. The “Net amounts” presented below are not intended to represent the Group’s and the Bank’s actual exposure to credit risk, as a variety of credit mitigation strategies are employed in addition to netting and collateral arrangements. Related amount not offset Derivative financial assets and liabilities The ‘Financial instruments’ column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set off under netting agreements, such as the ISDA Master Agreement or derivative exchange or clearing counterparty agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transaction covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur. Financial collateral refers to cash and non-cash collateral obtained, typically daily or weekly, to cover the net exposure between counterparties by enabling the collateral to be realised in an event of default or if other predetermined events occur. Obligation on securities sold under repurchase agreements The ‘Financial instruments’ column identifies financial assets and liabilities that are subject to set-off under netting agreements, such as global master repurchase agreements, whereby all outstanding transactions with the same counterparty can be offset and close-out netting applied across all outstanding transaction covered by the agreements if an event of default or other predetermined events occur.

The Group and the Bank are currently adopting Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and Market Risk, the Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk. In line with the transitional arrangements under the Bank Negara Malaysia’s Capital Adequacy Framework (Capital Components), the minimum capital adequacy requirement for Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio (‘CET 1’) and Tier 1 Capital Ratio are 4.5% and 6.0% respectively for year 2015. The minimum regulatory capital adequacy requirement remains at 8.0% (2014: 8.0%) for total capital ratio. The Group and the Bank’s objectives when managing capital are: • To comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the banking markets where the entities within the Group and the Bank operates; • To safeguard the Group and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and • To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business. The Group and the Bank maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to its risk-weighted assets above a minimum level agreed with the management which takes into account the risk profile of the Group and the Bank.

The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain variables that are anticipated to have material impact to the Group’s and the Bank’s results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Allowance for impairment losses on loans, advances and financing The accounting estimates and judgments related to the impairment of loans and provision for off-balance sheet positions are critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions used for both the individually and collectively assessed impairment can change from period to period and may significantly affect the Group and the Bank’s results of operations. In assessing assets for impairment, management judgment is required. The determination of the impairment allowance required for loans which are deemed to be individually significant often requires the use of considerable management judgment concerning such matters as local economic conditions, the financial performance of the counterparty and the value of any collateral held, for which there may not be a readily accessible market. The actual amount of the future cash flows and their timing may differ from the estimates used by management and consequently may cause actual losses to differ from the reported allowances. The impairment allowance for portfolios of smaller-balance homogenous loans, such as those to individuals and small business customers of the private and retail business, and for those loans which are individually significant but for which no objective evidence of impairment exists, is determined on a collective basis. The collective impairment allowance is calculated on a portfolio basis using statistical models which incorporate numerous estimates and judgments, and therefore is subject to estimation uncertainty. The Group and the Bank perform a regular review of the models and underlying data and assumptions as far as possible to reflect the current economic circumstances. The probability of default, loss given defaults, and loss identification period, amongst other things, are all taken into account during this review. Estimated impairment of goodwill The Group performs an impairment review on an annual basis to ensure that the carrying value of the goodwill does not exceed its recoverable amounts from cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. The recoverable amount represents the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing operations. Therefore, in arriving at the recoverable amount, management exercise judgment in estimating the future cash flows, growth rate and discount rate. Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures Investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in cirsumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Significant judgment is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the subsidiairies and joint ventures, which uncertainties are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgments made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the results of the Group’s test for impairment of investments. 46 CREDIT EXPOSURES ARISING FROM TRANSACTIONS WITH CONNECTED PARTIES The following credit exposures are based on Bank Negara Malaysia’s revised Guidelines on Credit Transaction and Exposures with Connected Parties, which are effective 1 January 2008. 2014 2,319,413 2,660,459 (ii) The percentage of outstanding credit exposures to connected parties as a proportion of total credit exposures 5% 5% (iii) The percentage of outstanding credit exposures with connected parties which is impaired or in default Nil Nil (i) The aggregate value of outstanding credit exposures with connected parties (RM’000) 47 APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements have been approved for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 3 March 2016.

The Basel II framework is structured around three fundamental Pillars. - Pillar 1 defines the minimum capital requirement to ensure that financial institutions hold sufficient capital to cover their exposure to credit, market and operational risks. - Pillar 2 requires financial institutions to have a process for assessing their overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital levels. - Pillar 3 requires financial institutions to establish and implement an appropriate disclosure policy that promotes transparency regarding their risk management practices and capital adequacy positions. The Bank elected to adopt the following approaches under Pillar 1 requirements: - - - Standardised Approach for Credit Risk Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk Standardised Approach for Market Risk 1.2 Scope of Application 2 This document contains the disclosure requirements under Pillar 3 for the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2015. The disclosures are made in line with the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements under the Basel II framework as laid out by BNM.

The capital management process is monitored by senior management through periodic reviews. Refer to Appendix I. 4 Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Bank is principally engaged in all aspects of banking and related financial services. The principal activities of the Bank’s subsidiaries are Islamic banking business, property management services, nominee and trustee services. There have been no significant changes in these principal activities during the financial year. The Bank’s business activities involve the analysis, measurement, acceptance, and management of risks and which operates within well defined risk acceptance criteria covering customer segments, industries and products. The Bank does not enter into risk it cannot administer, book, monitor or value, or deal with persons of questionable integrity. The Bank’s risk management policies are established to identify, assess, measure, control and mitigate all key risks as well as manage and monitor the risk positions. The Bank regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and best practice in risk management processes. The Bank’s aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk as well as minimise any potential adverse effects. The key business risks to which the Bank is exposed to are credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk. 5 Credit Risk 5.1 Credit Risk Management Objectives and Policies Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of the customer or counterparty to settle the financial and contractual obligations to the Bank. Credit risk emanates mainly from loans and advances, loan commitments arising from such lending activities, as well as through financial transactions with counterparties including interbank money market activities, derivative instruments used for hedging and debt securities. The management of credit risk in the Bank is governed by a set of approved credit policies, guidelines and procedures. Approval authorities are delegated to Senior Management and GMLC to implement the credit policies and ensure sound credit granting standards. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 An independent GRM function, headed by Group Chief Risk Officer (‘GCRO’) with direct reporting line to BRMC is in place to ensure adherence to risk standards and discipline. 192 Lending guidelines and credit strategies are formulated and incorporated in the Annual Credit Plan. New businesses are governed by the risk acceptance criteria and customer qualifying criteria/fitness standards prescribed in the Annual Credit Plan. The Annual Credit Plan is reviewed at least annually and approved by the BRMC. basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 5 Credit Risk 5.2 Application of Standardised Approach for credit risk The Bank uses the following External Credit Assessment Institutions (‘ECAIs’) to determine the risk weights for the rated credit exposures:• • • • • RAM Rating Services Berhad Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad Standard & Poor’s Rating Services Moody’s Investors Service Fitch Ratings The external ratings of the ECAIs are used to determine the risk weights of the following types of exposure: sovereigns, banks, public sector entities and corporates. The mapping of the rating categories of different ECAIs to the risk weights is in accordance with BNM guidelines. In cases where there is no issuer or issue rating, the exposures are treated as unrated and accorded a risk weight appropriate for unrated exposure in the respective category. Refer to Appendix II and Appendices III (i) to III (ii). 5.3 Credit Risk Measurement Loans, advances and financing Credit evaluation is the process of analysing the creditworthiness of the prospective customer against the Bank’s underwriting criteria and the ability of the Bank to make a return commensurate with the level of risk undertaken. A critical element in the evaluation process is the assignment of a credit risk grade to the counterparty. This assists in the risk assessment and decision making process. The Bank has developed internal rating models to support the assessment and quantification of credit risk. For consumer mass market products, statistically developed application scorecards are used by the Business to assess the risks associated with the credit application. The scorecards are used as a decision support tool at loan origination. Over-the-Counter (‘OTC’) Derivatives The OTC Derivatives credit exposure is computed using the Current Exposure Method. Under the Current Exposure Method, computation of credit equivalent exposure for interest rate and exchange rate related contracts is derived from the summation of the two elements; the replacement costs (obtained by marking-to-market) of all contracts and the potential future exposure of outstanding contracts (Add On charges depending on the specific remaining tenor to maturity). 5.4 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies The Bank employs various policies and practices to control and mitigate credit risk. Lending limits The credit risk exposure for derivative and loan books is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers together with potential exposure from market movements. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 The Bank establishes internal limits and related lending guidelines to manage large exposures and avoid undue concentration of credit risk in its credit portfolio. The limits include single customer groupings, connected parties and industry segments. These risks are monitored regularly and the limits reviewed annually or sooner depending on market and economic conditions. 193 basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 5 Credit Risk 5.4 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies (continued) Collateral Credits are established against borrower’s capacity to repay rather than rely solely on security. However, collateral may be taken to mitigate credit risk. The main collateral types accepted and given value by the Bank are: • • • • Mortgages over residential properties; Charges over commercial real estate or vehicles financed; Charges over business assets such as business premises, inventory and account receivables; and Charges over financial instruments such as marketable securities Credit related commitments Commitment to extend credit represents unutilised portion of approved credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. In terms of credit risk, the Bank is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unutilised commitments. However, the potential amount of loss is less than the total unutilised commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific minimum credit standards. The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than short-term commitments. Refer to Appendix IV (a) to (b). 5.5 Credit Risk Monitoring Retail credits are actively monitored and managed on a portfolio basis by product type. A collection management system is in place to promptly identify, monitor and manage delinquent accounts at early stages of delinquency. Corporate credits and large individual accounts are reviewed by the Business Units at least once a year against updated information. This is to ensure that the credit grades remain appropriate and any signs of weaknesses or deterioration in the credit quality are detected. Remedial action is taken where evidence of deterioration emanates. Early Alert Process is in place to pro-actively identify, report and manage deteriorating credit quality. Watchlist accounts are closely reviewed and monitored with corrective measures initiated to prevent them from turning impaired. As a rule, watchlist accounts are either worked up or worked out within a period of twelve months. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Active portfolio monitoring enables the Bank to understand the overall risk profile and identify any adverse trends or areas of risk concentrations affecting asset quality so that appropriate actions are adopted to manage and mitigate risks. 194 basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 5 Credit Risk 5.6 Impairment Provisioning Individual impairment provisioning Significant loans, with or without past due status, are subject to individual assessment for impairment when evidence of impairment surfaces or at the very least, once annually during the annual review process. If impaired, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The level of impairment allowance on significant loans is reviewed regularly, at least quarterly or more often when circumstances require. Significant loans that are deemed not impaired after individual assessment are included in a group of loans with similar characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Collective impairment provisioning All loans are grouped in respective business segments according to similar credit risk characteristics and is generally based on industry, asset or collateral type, credit grade and past due status grouped based on business segments. Portfolio provisioning is determined for each segment based on its respective loss probabilities and other information relevant to estimation of the future cash flows of each segment. Collective provisioning is applicable to all loans not covered under individual assessment as well as significant loans that are deemed not impaired after individual assessment. Total loans, advances and financing - credit quality All loans, advances and financing are categorised into “neither past due nor impaired”, “past due but not impaired” and “impaired”. Past due loans refer to loans that are overdue by one day or more. Impaired loans are loans with months-in-arrears more than 90 days or with impaired allowances.

The exposure to market risk results largely from interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. The market risk management framework encompasses the following approaches: • Risk control parameters are established based on risk appetite, market liquidity and business strategies as well as macroeconomic conditions. These parameters are reviewed at least annually. • Market risk stemming from the Trading book is primarily controlled through the imposition of Stop-loss and Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) Risk Control Parameters. • Interest rate risk is quantified by analysing the repricing mismatch between the rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Based on the repricing mismatch, Earnings-at-Risk (‘EaR’) or Net Interest Income (‘NII’) simulation is conducted to assess the variation in short term earnings. • In addition, the potential long term impact arising from the Bank’s exposures is also tracked by assessing the impact on Economic Value of Equity (‘EVE’), also known as Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’). • Periodic stress tests are conducted to quantify market risk arising from abnormal market movements. 6.2 Application of Standardised Approach for Market Risk The Bank adopts the Standardised Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for market risk. Refer to Appendix I. 6.3 Market Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring Bank’s market risk management control parameters are established based on its risk appetite, market liquidity and business strategies as well as macroeconomic conditions. These parameters are reviewed at least on an annual basis. Market risk arising from the Bank’s Trading book is primarily controlled through the imposition of Stop-loss and Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) risk control parameters. The Bank quantifies interest rate risk by analysing the repricing mismatch between the rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Based on the repricing mismatch, Net Interest Income simulation is conducted to assess the variation in short-term earnings. The potential long term impact of the Bank’s exposures is also tracked by assessing the impact on economic value of equity (‘EVE’), also known as Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’). Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Thresholds are set for Earnings-at-Risk (‘EaR’) and Economic Value-at-Risk (‘EVaR’) respectively. 200 In addition, the Bank conducts periodic stress test of its respective business portfolios to ascertain market risk under abnormal market conditions. The Bank’s Management, ALCO and BRMC are regularly kept informed of its risk profile and positions. basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 6 Market Risk 6.4 Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) is used to compute the maximum potential loss amount over a specified holding period of a Trading portfolio. It measures the risk of losses arising from potential adverse movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates that could affect values of financial instruments. The Bank adopts Historical Pricing Simulation Method (‘HPS’) to compute potential loss or Value-at-Risk (‘VaR’) amount. The HPS Method uses the relative change of historical prices to estimate future potential changes in the market value of outstanding positions. The Bank currently adopts 250 simulated business days for its HPS VaR computation. After applying these price changes to the outstanding portfolios, 250 simulated market values for the portfolio are generated and the change in the day-to-day market value is taken as simulated Profit & Loss (‘P&L’) for the portfolio. Since VaR calculates the worst expected loss over a given day horizon and confidence level under normal market condition, the 250 simulated values are sorted from the lowest to the highest simulated P&L. The VaR focuses on the tail of the distribution (i.e. the loss figures) at the 99th percentile. Other risk measures include the following: (i) Mark-to-Market valuation tracks the current market value of the outstanding financial instruments. (ii) Stress tests are conducted to quantify market risk arising from abnormal market movements. Stress tests measure the changes in values arising from extreme movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates based on past experience and simulated stress scenarios. 6.5 Foreign Exchange Risk The Bank is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Thresholds are set on the level of exposure by currency as well as in aggregate for both overnight and intra-day positions and these are monitored daily. 7 Liquidity Risk 7.1 Liquidity Risk Management Objectives and Policies Liquidity risk is the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from a bank’s inability to meet its obligations when they fall due. Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage sudden decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity risk also arises from the failure to recognise changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value. Liquidity risk management is managed on Group basis. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet contractual and regulatory obligations without incurring unacceptable losses as well as to undertake new transactions. The Group’s liquidity management process involves establishing liquidity risk management policies and thresholds, liquidity risk thresholds monitoring, stress testing and establishing contingency funding plans. These building blocks of liquidity risk management are subject to regular reviews to ensure relevance in the context of prevailing market conditions. 7.2 Liquidity Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring The LCR is a quantitative requirement which seeks to ensure that the Bank holds sufficient high-quality liquid assets (‘HQLA’) to withstand an acute liquidity stress scenario over a 30-day horizon. Long term liquidity risk profile is assessed via NSFR which promotes resilience over a longer time horizon for the Bank to fund its activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis. The Bank employs liquidity risk indicators as an early alert of any structural change for liquidity risk management. Liquidity risk is tracked using internal and external qualitative and quantitative indicators. Liquidity positions in the major currencies are being closely monitored by tracking the availability of medium to long term foreign currency funding and adhering to the internal guiding principles for foreign currency assets creations. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 Liquidity risk monitoring is premised on BNM’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (‘LCR’) final standards as well as BNM’s revised Basel III Observation Period reporting for Net Stable Funding Ratio (‘NSFR’). 201 basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 7 Liquidity Risk 7.2 Liquidity Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring (continued) The Bank also conducts liquidity stress test to assess the Bank’s resilience to withstand short term liquidity shocks over a 30-day horizon. A Contingency Funding Plan is in place to alert and enable Management to act effectively and efficiently in handling liquidity disruption. The document encompasses early warning system, strategies, decision-making authorities, and courses of actions to be taken in the event of liquidity crisis and emergencies. Basel III Liquidity Standards The Basel Committee has developed two minimum standards for funding liquidity to achieve two separate but complementary objectives: • LCR - to promote short-term resilience of the Bank’s liquidity risk profile by ensuring that it has sufficient high-quality liquid assets to survive a significant stress scenario lasting for one month. • NSFR - to promote resilience over a longer time horizon for the Bank to fund its activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis. The LCR and NSFR are tracked to assess the short term and long term liquidity risk profile of the Bank, in line with BNM’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (‘LCR’) final standards issued on 31st March 2015 as well as BNM’s revised Basel III Observation Period reporting for Net Stable Funding Ratio (‘NSFR’) and Leverage Ratio (‘LR’) issued on 7th August 2015. The BRMC is responsible for the Bank’s liquidity policy and the strategic management of liquidity has been delegated to the ALCO. The BRMC is informed regularly on the liquidity position of the Bank. 8 Operational Risk 8.1 Operational Risk Management Objectives and Policies Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, action on or by people, infrastructure or technology or events which are beyond the Bank’s immediate control which have an operational impact, including natural disaster, fraudulent activities and money laundering/financing of terrorism. The Bank manages operational risk through a control based environment in which policies and procedures are formulated after taking into account individual unit’s business activities, the market in which it is operating and regulatory requirement in force. 8.2 Application of Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk The Bank adopts the Basic Indicator Approach for the purpose of calculating the capital requirement for operational risk. The capital requirement is calculated by taking 15% of the Bank’s average annual gross income over the previous three years. Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 8.3 Operational Risk Measurement, Control and Monitoring 202 Risk is identified through the use of assessment tools and measured using thresholds mapped against risk matrix. Monitoring and control procedures include the use of key control standards, independent tracking of risk, back-up procedures and contingency plans, including disaster recovery and business continuity plans. This is supported by periodic reviews undertaken by Group Internal Audit to ensure adequacy and effectiveness of the Group Operational Risk Management process. The Bank gathers, analyses and reports operational risk loss and ‘near miss’ events to Group Operational Risk Management Committee and Board Risk Management Committee. Appropriate preventive and remedial actions are reviewed for effectiveness and implemented to minimize the recurrence of such events. basel II pillar 3 disclosures as at 31 December 2015 8 Operational Risk 8.4Certification As an internal requirement, all Operational Risk Coordinators must satisfy an Internal Operational Risk (including anti-money laundering/ counter financing of terrorism and business continuity management) Certification Program. These coordinators will first go through an online self learning exercise before attempting on-line assessments to measure their skills and knowledge level. This will enable Group Risk Management to prescribe appropriate training and development activities for the coordinators. 9 Shariah Compliance Shariah compliance is the fundamental of Islamic banking and finance. It gives legitimacy to the practices and business operations of the Islamic financial institutions (‘IFIs’) concerned. Comprehensive compliance with Shariah principles would also boosts confidence of shareholders and public that all the practices and activities by the IFIs are in compliance with the Shariah principles at all times. Shariah Governance Framework for Islamic Financial Institutions (the ‘Framework’) issued by Bank Negara Malaysia becomes the main reference to oversee the Shariah governance process within AFFIN Islamic Bank Berhad. In order to comply with all the requirements in the Framework, Board of Directors of the Bank are very committed to ensure among others all the required Shariah compliance and research functions include Shariah Risk Management, Shariah Review, Shariah Research and Shariah Audit are properly established to effectively perform its respective functions. Continuous training programs are provided to Shariah Committee members to equip them with better understanding and exposure on banking operations and to Board of Directors, management members and staff for fundamental and advanced knowledge on Shariah and Islamic commercial law matters.

The Bank’s Capital-at-Risk (‘CaR’) is defined as the amount of the Bank’s capital that is exposed to the risk of unexpected losses arising particularly from movements in interest and foreign exchange rates. A CaR reference threshold is set as a management trigger to ensure that the Bank’s capital adequacy is not impinged upon in the event of adverse market movements. The Bank currently adopts BNM’s Standardised Approach for the computation of market risk capital charges. The market risk capital charge addresses among others, capital requirement for market risk which includes the interest rate risk in the Bank’s Trading Book as well as foreign exchange risk in the Trading and Banking Books. The computation of market risk capital charge covers the following outstanding financial instruments: a) b) c) d) Foreign Exchange (‘FX’) Interest Rate Swap (‘IRS’) Cross Currency Swap (‘CCS’) Fixed Income Instruments (i.e. Private Debt and Government Securities) Affin Bank Berhad (25046-T) | Annual Report 2015 The Bank’s Trading Book Policy Statement stipulates the policies and procedures for including or excluding exposures from the Trading Book for the purpose of calculating regulatory market risk capital. 208 -

In respect of off-balance sheet items, the credit risk inherent in each off-balance sheet instrument is translated into an on-balance sheet exposure equivalent (credit equivalent) by multiplying the nominal principal amount with a credit conversion factor (‘CCF’) as prescribed by the Standardised Approach under the Risk Weighted Capital Adequacy Framework. The resulting amount is then weighted against the risk weight of the counterparty. In addition, counterparty risk weights for over-the-counter (‘OTC’) derivative transactions will be determined based on the external rating of the counterparty and will not be subject to any specific ceiling. Counterparty Credit Risk is the risk that the counterparty to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction’s cashflows. An economic loss could occur if the transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value for the Bank at the time of default.

This is assessed through the application of relevant duration factors to capture the net economic value impact over the long term or total life of all balance sheet assets and liabilities to adverse changes in interest rates. (1) Next 12 months’ Earnings - Interest rate risk from the earnings perspective is the impact based on changes to the net interest income (‘NII’) over the next 12 months. This risk is measured through sensitivity analysis including the application of an instantaneous 100 basis point parallel shock in interest rates across the yield curve. Interest rate risk is the current and prospective impact to the Bank’s financial condition due to adverse changes in the interest rates to which the balance sheet is exposed. The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a stable and sustainable net interest income from the perspectives of (1) earnings in the next 12 months, and (2) economic value.
