Sincerely,

Andrew Au

Chairman, Citibank (China) Co., Ltd.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGEI’m pleased to present to you the Citibank (China)

Co., Ltd. 2013 Annual Report. Citi China ended the

year with notable achievements which reinforced

our leadership in China’s financial industry.

China is one of the most important markets for Citi

globally, and we place great emphasis on long-term

planning for our sustainable development in this

market. Our continued investments aim to enable

progress for our clients by leveraging our global

network synergies and capitalizing on three

long-term trends – globalization, urbanization, and

digitization.

During the year, we expanded our target markets,

pursued new business opportunities, and grew our

employee and client bases. We also strengthened

our product innovation and extended our network

presence in line with the latest development of the

local banking industry.

Our Global Consumer Bank upheld its long-stand-

ing reputation in wealth management, substantiat-

ed by our ability as the first foreign bank to launch

domestic mutual funds in China. We continued to

push ahead with our credit card business, for which

we were the first global bank to issue sole-branded

credit cards, offering attractive products and

unique value propositions to our card holders.

We were also actively engaged in China’s financial

reform, and were honored to be the pioneer global

bank to obtain approval to prepare for a

sub-branch in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free

Trade Zone. By amalgamating the latest policies in

the Zone with our unparalleled global expertise,

local insight and client relationships, we launched

industry-first solutions that helped our clients

maximize opportunities there.

As a result, we delivered solid financial perfor-

mance and ended 2013 with strong numbers. We

achieved an operating income of RMB4.35 billion

and a net profit of RMB964 million. Our prudent

approach in operations and continued focus on

high quality customers allowed us to attain strong

healthy ratios, like our Capital Adequacy Ratio,

which was at 14.22 percent and well above the

regulatory requirement.

We are optimistic about the future of China. As we

move the business forward, we will continue to

actively participate in and contribute to China’s

financial reform for the development and prosperi-

ty of the local banking and financial sector. I

believe that, with this right attitude, strategy and

vision for success, Citi China will continue bringing

more opportunities to our clients and China.

As part of the ongoing reform in the FTZ, Citi China

released FTZ policies. We are the first bank to do

so, thanks to our unparalleled global network,

strong product capabilities and in-market knowl-

edge in customizing existing solutions according to

sovereign fund companies, to leverage on each

other’s strengths and innovation.

In 2013, Citi Markets sustained strong performance

and maintained its leadership position in foreign

exchange, interest rates and commodities.

As many Chinese companies showed a large inter-

est in going global during the year, the Markets

team was focused on enabling them to do so. In

addition to traditional banking services, we helped

insurance companies, FIG took responsibility in

proactively assisting our partner insurance

agencies in planning for future business

according to the rules.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission

(CBRC) put in place new capital management

regulations for banks for the first time. To this

end, Citi China FIG shared with other banks

Citi China offers two credit cards: Premier Miles

and Rewards, targeting different consumer

segments according to their spending preferences,

and are available in all 13 cities that Citi China oper-

ates in.

The PremierMiles Card boasts the widest range of

redemption choices for over 50 airlines and access

to over 600 airport lounges worldwide six times

per year, and gives cardholders the flexibility of

transferring air miles to friends and family;

Rewards Card holders enjoy preferential offers

with Citi’s merchant partners, and can use points

accumulated to redeem air miles or vouchers.

2013 September 19th marked the first year anniver-

sary of our sole-branded credit cards. Results have

exceeded expectation and outperformed the

market average. Retail sales were three times

above average; activation rate was twice that of

average.

As a testament to delivering remarkable customer

experience, Citi launched a 60-minute card

issuance service in 2013 where customers could

get their applications approved and personalized

cards issued within an hour.

In 2013, GCB celebrated a number of milestones in the

credit card and wealth management businesses,

including instant card issuance and the launch of local

mutual fund. Our retail network also expanded with a

new outlet in Chengdu, bringing our total number of

retail outlets in the country to 52.

Citi China is deeply committed to bringing choices,

innovation and world-class wealth management

products and services to our customers.

Besides offering customers a comprehensive array

of products, we are also devoted to creating more

convenient and smarter service channels. For

example, in April 2013, we incorporated QDII

mutual funds transactions into CitiPhone Banking,

through which customers can buy, sell, redeem,

and transfer QDII mutual funds remotely, thereby

increasing efficiency notably.

Citi became the first foreign bank to be allowed by

the China Securities Regulatory Commission

(CSRC) to sell domestic mutual funds in the country

in June 2013. A new addition to the bank’s existing

portfolio of wealth management services, Citi

China’s domestic mutual fund products combines

our experience in global mutual funds with our local

market knowledge.

By the end of 2013, Citi China was partnering with

five fund houses to offer over 20 domestic mutual

funds.

Citi is focused on being a trusted financial advisor of

each and every of our small and medium private enter-

prises (SMEs) customer.

In 2013, our commercial banking business attained

strong growth among key indicators in revenue,

customer deposits.

We tap our global expertise and resource network to

bring new, innovative and value-added solutions that

better cater to our expanding customer base and

enhance our relationships with them. For example, our

mobile banking application allows customers to access

banking services, like payment authorization, efficient-

ly, conveniently, and most importantly, safely.

Citi offers a broad range of solutions to our SME

customers, such as our American Depositary Receipts

(ADR), syndicated loans, bonds, international funds

and cross-border RMB settlement pooling services,

grant SMEs the capability to expand their business

abroad, thereby increasing their competitiveness. In

2013, Citi Commercial Bank partnered with our China

Export and Credit Insurance Corporation (SINOSURE)

to support a number of SMEs in export insurance and

financing.

It is important that our SME customers are kept

apprised of market movements so that they can plan

better and more sustainable business strategies. We

do this through different activities and communica-

tions, like trainings, seminars, and networking events

organized in collaboration with the Economic Informa-

tion Commission, various SME associations, law firms,

auditing companies, etc. These events also encourage

a spirit of information sharing among SMEs and the

aforementioned third parties in the country.

In 2013, we held over 50 of these sessions that

spanned more than 200 hours across 15 cities in China,

and received a ‘SMEs’ Favorite Service Provider’

award from Guangdong Provincial SME Development

Association.

In 2013, the three special committees under the

Board, based on the principle of equally emphasiz-

ing quality and effectiveness, performed important

roles in assisting the Board to make correct

decisions. The three special committees held 12

meetings in total, reviewed 27 motions and heard

45 reports. Each of the three committees effective-

ly operated with distinct division of responsibilities

and provided professional advice and suggestions

in terms of audit, risk management and related

party transaction control. They provided solid

ground for the Board so that the Board could

The senior management team of the Bank performed

an active role in adherence to optimizing the corpo-

rate governance standard, expanding the Bank’s

scope and promoting the Bank’s reputation. The

team provided timely reports to the Board and/or the

Board committee through various channels, including

Board and committee meetings, newsletters, etc.

Management level committees also held several

meetings and actively exercised its management

functions.

Our management team also ensured that adequate

training was provided to employees. These topics

included anti-fraud policies and fraud awareness,

professional conduct, improper electronic communi-

cation, anti-money laundering and sanctions,

anti-bribery and corruption, etc. The senior manage-

ment team met regularly and worked diligently to

ensure the Bank performed well in 2013.

In addition to these achievements, we will continue to

adhere to, and where appropriate, strengthen our

governance practice to ensure stable, sustainable and

fast development in 2014.

The Risk Management Committee keeps itself

abreast of supervising senior management’s control

of various risks, including credit, market, liquidity,

compliance, operational , IT and, reputation risk. It

also reviews risk portfolio reports, classified portfoli-

os, NPLs and loss provisions and key risk limits

against actual exposures.

All voting members of the Committee attended every

of the four meetings held during the year. The Com-

mittee made 11 resolutions and heard 41 reports. The

risk portfolio seasonal report, classified portfolios,

NPLs and loss provisions, and key risk limits against

actual exposures were reviewed at each Committee

meeting.

The Committee paid attention to the credit card

portfolio, derivative risk assessment, stress test and

country risk policies. They continued to focus on the

key risk areas that CCCL faced due to regulatory

requirements and market changes, including reputa-

tion risk, information technology risk, fraud case

prevention and outsourcing risk, etc.

Internal Audit adopted a risk-based methodology,

which provides assurance that risks are being

managed within the organization’s risk tolerance.

Audit plan is driven by audit needs assessment of

auditable entities. The audit needs assessment is

based on a composite risk which is derived from two

distinctive ratings – Citigroup level risk rating and

country level risk rating.

Internal Audit received the latest business and

management information through business monitor-

ing and shared audit results, key findings and status

of corrective actions through various committee such

as the Business Risk and Compliance Control Commit-

tee etc. More importantly, it also draws management

attention to significant risks and internal control

lapses.

The Citigroup Chief Auditor, Regional Chief Auditor,

CCCL’s Chair of the Audit Committee and Country

Head of Audit paid several visits to CBRC Shanghai

and 6 local offices in 2013, so as to keep abreast with

the changing regulatory requirements and facilitate

communication with local regulators.

Topics discussed during these meetings include regu-

latory expectations, internal audit transformation,

audit focus and the three key performance indices

(KPIs) directly linked to the management’s perfor-

mance. The KPIs are: issues being addressed by

September 12, 2007. Details are as below: review and discuss the matters correctly and

At each committee meeting, members fully

expressed their opinions and provided constructive

and timely suggestions to the management team. All

members played an active role to support the Board

in making scientific and effective decisions.These

frequent communications facilitate mutual under-

standing between them and CCCL, and therefore,

help our internal audit team address their expecta-

tions and concerns more effectively.

UPHOLDING WORLD-CLASS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Related Party Transaction Control Committee

defines the principles, procedures and rules aimed at

ensuring transparency and procedural fairness of trans-

actions undertake with the Bank’s related parties.

The Committee takes responsibility of identifying the

related parties of CCCL and ensures that the latter’s

information is accurate. They monitor transactions in

General related party transactions are reviewed and

approved by the Committee, while the material related

party transactions are subject to approval by the

Committee to ensure all of CCCL’s related party transac-

tions are made in good faith, are according to the

arms-length principle, and are compliant with the

relevant laws and regulations.

In addition, material related party transactions are, post

the examination of the Committee, submitted to the

Board of Directors for final approval. By having a formal

approval and review process, it allows CCCL to achieve

in-country governance and enhance effectiveness of

controls.

MicrofinanceEnterprise Development

As a leading corporate supporter of microfinance in China, Citi has, over the decade, been advocating for the sector’s development by enlarging the capacity of non-profit microfinance institutions (NGO MFIs) and sector networks to support financial educa-tion initiatives for microfinance clients, many of whom are a less fortu-nate population.

Case Study: Agent Penny Program

The Citi– CBA Micro-entrepreneurship Awards

Financial Capability and Asset Building

Citi strives to put part of our money, talent, experi-

ence where we can help accelerate economic

opportunity, and to find ways to include more

people in the financial system. We support specific

causes that fit our mission of financial inclusion

and those where philanthropic capital can seed the

development and testing of new ideas with the

potential to attain scale.

Our efforts are partially catalyzed by Citi Founda-

tion’s investments in partners that promote finan-

cial inclusion and economic empowerment, and

fueled by the engagement of our employees and

partners. The Foundation provides support to

nongovernmental organizations working on the

ground and thought leadership and innovation

programs that promote the scaling of proven ideas.

We also encourage employees to participate

actively in activities that complement our commu-

nity activities.

In 2013, Citi China joined hands with more than ten

non-profit partners to launch twelve community

development programs that address a diverse

group of social, economic or environmental needs.

As Citi grows in China, we are committed to good corporate citizenship at every opportunity. We take a holistic approach in giving back to our local communities around China in a manner that is results-oriented and that contributes to the sustainable development of the communities we support.

Citi celebrates microentrepreneurs and microfi-

nance practitioners with the annual Citi Microen-

trepreneurship Awards (CMA). The Awards has a

secondary mission to raise awareness of the role

of microfinance in increasing access to finance

and poverty alleviation.

In October 2013, we held the ninth CMA in Beijing

where we gathered 200 microfinance practition-

ers, veterans and supporters from government,

non-profit organizations, banks, industry

research institutions and media.

Citi sees financial knowledge and skill sets as an important life skill. This, cou-pled with our expertise in this space, made us decide to support an extensive array of financial education programs that have to date benefitted 13,000 chil-dren and youth in 2013 alone.

GIVING BACKTO THE COMMUNITY

We and our NGO partners are heartened by the

changes we have witnessed in their financial

behaviors, like developing personal monthly

budget and maintaining monthly expenditure

report.

The Agent Penny program was launched in 2007

and expanded in 2009 with NGO Shanghai Better

Education Development Center (Better Education)

in a bid to promote financial literacy to upper

primary school students through innovative meth-

ods.

The program illustrates basic financial concepts

such as financial planning, smart spending and

saving, in interesting and easy-to-absorb ways:

cartoons, comic books, skits performed by the

students themselves and competitions, and in and

out-of-school activities. Of note, the cartoon series

was a new channel introduced in December 2013,

consisting of 32 episodes, nine of which were

dubbed in local dialects by Citi volunteers.

Funded by Citi Foundation, the Awards have since

become the largest and most influential event for

Chinese microfinance practitioners. Besides being

a platform for them to network and learn, the

Awards are highly regarded as an industry yard-

stick for success. In fact, this year’s Awards com-

mittee received the highest number of applications

to date, with 165 applications for Institutional

Awards from 23 provinces, and an overwhelming

100 individuals competing for the Microentrepre-

neur of the Year Award.

Financial Stability andEnterprise Development

Case Study: Guizhou Indigenous Craftwork Development Program

Case Study: Chongqing Rural Small Enterprise Development Program

Citi focuses on initiatives that address key community needs – financial stabili-ty, enterprise development and neigh-borhood revitalization – while fostering innovation and providing thought lead-ership.

We also collaborate with external stakeholders to

address these economic issues through impactful,

multiyear public-private partnerships that include

nonprofit partners and local governments.

In China, we pay particular attention to disas-

ter-stricken and poor villages. We desire to create

effective and sustainable vehicles to help the com-

munities to reap triple benefits – economic, envi-

ronmental and social. We do so by building their

living quarters, increasing their income levels by

way of establishing or expanding household and

micro enterprises, coaching them on adopting

better and greener farming practices and technol-

ogy, and expanding their market access, while

preserving their indigenous traditional cultural

heritage like art and agriculture.

Citi also recognizes that solutions to many com-

plex community challenges require sustained

investment and collaboration over time. Here are

some examples of how our long-term commit-

ments have made a real difference:

In November 2013, we celebrated the program’s

third anniversary with an event with our partners,

during which we shared with attendees our

program model, learnings, experiences and the

sustainable impact generated. We also supported

the launch of the Guizhou Absolute Cultural Week

Since late 2010, Citi has been partnering with a

humanitarian organization Humana People to

People (HPP) to economically empower impover-

ished and low income residents of rural Chongqing

in a sustainable way.

The program was first incepted in Wanzhou district,

teaching the farmers from small and growing

household enterprises technical and practical skills

like sustainable agricultural production, animal

husbandry, rudimentary finance and marketing. We

also built an effective and sustainable training

model for local farmers to become skilled farming

instructors, and established farmers’ clubs that

conduct systematic training and support activities

With this resounding success, Citi and HPP will

replicate the program in Haokou, Wulong district

come January 2014.

Guizhou, a rural province located in southwest

China, is tknown for its indigenous artisans, mostly

from the Miao minority group.

In 2011, Citi China partnered with the Communi-

ty-Based Conservation and Development Research

Center of Guizhou (CCDRC) to launch the Guizhou

Indigenous Batik Development Program. The

program has since expanded to more craftworks in

the province, which explains the program’s more

encompassing name today.

The program sought to enhance the artisans’

production and marketing skills so that they can

make a better living. We also established sales

centers where the artisans are able to negotiate

prices, expand their sales channels i.e. new

markets.

Overall success would call upon strong collabora-

tion not only between Citi and CCDRC, but also

from other corporations, grass-root organizations

and the local government.

The results to date speak for themselves:

Over 2,000 household enterprises (7,000

individuals) have witnessed their income levels

increase by 30-40 percent year-over-year.

The program has received wild acclaim, winning

several of the nation's top community develop-

ment awards.

The sustainable success and impact of the

program has drawn attention not only from

within the Guizhou Province, but also from its

neighbors, renowned experts, designers and the

industry’s influencers.

70 percent of program household enterprises

have indicated an increase in their average

annual income by 30 percent.

1,853 household enterprises (7,096 individuals)

from five villages in the district received the

technical and field trainings.

A total of 127 training sessions have been

conducted for 19,561 farmers cumulatively.

Citi donated fruit and nut trees to 120 house-

hold enterprises to further generate an

estimated additional annual profit of at least

RMB 920,000 for 20 years when trees are in

full production.

Community development funds were estab-

lished to support 62 income generating

sub-projects, bringing additional 10 percent of

income increase to 847 participating families.

Chongqing is Guizhou’s neighboring province, in

southwest China. Most of its population are farm-

ers as agriculture remains significant.

artisans also got a chance to showcase their

talents and products.

to derive greater impact for the farmers.

In August 2013, Citi and HPP announced the com-

pletion of the project. The achievements are

impressive:

Citibank (China) Company Limited (Citibank China or the

Bank) is a wholly foreign-owned bank incorporated in

Shanghai, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), estab-

lished by Citibank, N.A. (Citibank or the Investor).

With the approval of the China Banking Regulatory Com-

mission (the CBRC) issued on 22 December 2006, Citib-

ank transformed its Shanghai Branch, Shenzhen Branch,

Guangzhou Branch, Beijing Branch, Tianjin Branch and

Chengdu Branch which were set up in China during 1988

to 2005 into Citibank China, a wholly foreign-owned

bank invested solely by Citibank.

The Bank obtained a financial license on 20 March 2007

and a business license (qi du hu zong zi No. 043865)

[Municipal Bureau] issued by the Shanghai Administra-

tion of Industry and Commerce on 29 March 2007, and

subsequently obtained a revised license (No.

310000400507900) [Municipal Bureau] from the

Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce

after commencement of operation. The Bank’s regis-

tered capital is Renminbi 3,970,000,000. In accordance

with the Bank’s business license, the Bank has an unde-

fined operating period from 29 March 2007. The Bank

commenced operation on 2 April 2007 and its scope of

operation includes partial or full scope foreign currency

business and Renminbi business, approved by relevant

regulators.

As at 31 December 2013, the Bank had 13 branches and

41 sub-branches in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou,

Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Dalian, Chongqing,

Guiyang, Nanjing, Changsha, and Wuxi.

The financial statements have been prepared in accord-

ance with the requirements of “Accounting Standards

for Business Enterprises – Basic Standard” and 38

Specific Standards issued by the Ministry of Finance

(MOF) of PRC on 15 February 2006, and application

guidance, bulletins and other relevant regulations

issued subsequently (collectively referred to as

“Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or

The Bank’s accounting year is from 1 January to 31

December.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the

financial statements is historical cost basis except for

the assets and liabilities set out below:

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value

Page 25: ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - Citi

A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the

balance sheet when the Bank becomes a party to the

contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

The Bank classifies financial assets and liabilities into

the different categories at initial recognition based on

the purpose of acquiring assets or assuming liabilities:

financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss, loans and receivables,

held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale finan-

cial assets and other financial liabilities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured

initially at fair value. For financial assets and financial

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, any related

directly attributable transaction costs are charged to

profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets

and financial liabilities, any related directly attributable

transaction costs are included in their initial costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and

liabilities are measured as follows:

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss (including financial assets or

financial liabilities held for trading)

A financial asset or financial liability is classified as at

fair value through profit or loss if it is acquired or

incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repur-

chasing in the near term or if it is a derivative. Subse-

quent to initial recognition, financial assets and financial

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are meas-

ured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in

profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial

assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not

quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recog-

nition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative finan-

cial assets with fixed or determinable payments and

fixed maturity that the Bank has the positive intention

and ability to hold to maturity. Subsequent to initial

recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured

at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include non-deriva-

tive financial assets that are designated upon initial

recognition as available for sale and other financial

assets which do not fall into any of the above categories.

Available-for-sale investments in equity instruments

whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are meas-

ured at cost subsequent to initial recognition. Other

available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair

value subsequent to initial recognition and changes

therein, except for impairment losses and foreign

exchange gains and losses from monetary financial

assets which are recognised directly in profit or loss, are

recognised as other comprehensive income in capital

reserve. When an investment is derecognised, the cumu-

lative gain or loss is reclassified from equity to profit or

loss. Interest on available-for-sale financial assets calcu-

lated using the effective interest method is recognised

in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities other than financial liabilities at fair

value through profit or loss are classified as other finan-

cial liabilities.

Other financial liabilities include the liabilities arising

from financial guarantee contracts. Financial guaran-

tees are contracts that require the Bank (i.e. the guaran-

tor) to make specified payments to reimburse the bene-

ficiary of the guarantee (the holder) for a loss the holder

incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment

when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instru-

ment. Where the Bank issues a financial guarantee,

subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee is meas-

ured at the higher of the amount initially recognised less

accumulated amortisation and the amount of a provi-

sion determined in accordance with the principles of

The Bank’s functional currency is Renminbi. These

financial statements are presented in Renminbi. Func-

tional currency is determined by the Bank on the basis

of the currency in which major income and costs are

denominated and settled.

When the Bank receives capital in foreign currencies

from investors, the capital is translated to Renminbi at

the spot exchange rate on the date of receipt. Other

foreign currency transactions are, on initial recognition,

translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rates on

the dates of the transactions. A spot exchange rate is an

exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the

PBOC), the State Administration of Foreign Exchanges

or a cross rate determined based on quoted exchange

rates.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are

translated to Renminbi at the spot exchange rate at the

balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences

are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items

denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at

historical cost are translated to Renminbi using the

foreign exchange rate at the transaction date. Non-mon-

etary items denominated in foreign currencies that are

measured at fair value are translated using the foreign

exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined;

the resulting exchange differences are recognised in

profit or loss, except differences arising from the trans-

Financial instruments of the Bank include cash on hand

and deposits with central bank, deposits with

inter-banks, placements with inter-banks, trading finan-

cial assets, derivative financial assets, interest receiva-

ble, loans and advances to customers, available-for-sale

financial assets, deposits from inter-banks and non-bank

financial institutions, borrowings from inter-banks,

derivative financial liabilities, financial assets sold under

repurchase agreements, deposits from customers,

employee benefits payable, interest payable and paid-in

Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented

separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. How-

ever, a financial asset and a financial liability are offset

and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet

when both of the following conditions are satisfied:

the Bank has a legal right to set off the recognised

amounts and the legal right is currently enforceable;

and

the Bank intends either to settle on a net basis, or to

realise the financial asset and settle the financial liability

simultaneously.

A financial asset is derecognised if the Bank’s contractu-

al rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire

or if the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and

rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another

party. Where a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety

meets the criteria of derecognition, the difference

between the two amounts below is recognised in profit

or loss:

the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred

the sum of the consideration received from the trans-

fer and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recog-

nised directly in equity.

The Bank derecognises a financial liability (or part of it)

only when the underlying present obligation (or part of

it) is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand,

non-restricted balances with central banks, deposits

with inter-banks, placements with inter-banks, and

short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily

convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject

to an insignificant risk of change in value.

The cost of fixed assets, less its estimated residual value

and accumulated impairment losses, is depreciated

using the straight-line method over its estimated useful

life, unless the fixed assets are classified as held for sale.

The estimated useful lives, residual value rates and

depreciation rates of each class of fixed assets are as

follows:

Financial assets sold under repurchase agreements are

recorded as the amount actually received when the

transactions occur, and are carried in the balance sheet.

The underlying assets of the repurchase agreements

continue to be recorded in the balance sheet and meas-

ured accordingly.

The difference between the sale and repurchase consid-

eration is amortised over the period of the respective

transaction using the effective interest method and

included in interest expenses.

Fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the

Bank for administrative purposes with useful lives over

one year. Fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at

cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses (see Note 3(8)(b)).

An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid

(combined) instrument that also include both the deriva-

tive and a host contract with the effect that some of the

cash flows of the hybrid (combined) instrument vary in a

way similar to a stand-alone derivative.

The embedded derivative are separated from the host

contract and accounted for as a derivative when: (i) the

economic characteristics and risks of the embedded

derivative are not closely related to the economic char-

acteristics and risks of the host contract; (ii) a separate

instrument with the same terms as the embedded deriv-

ative would meet the definition of a derivative; and (iii)

the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured at

If there is an active market for a financial asset or finan-

cial liability, the quoted price in the active market is used

to establish the fair value of the financial asset or finan-

cial liability. If no active market exists for a financial

instrument, a valuation technique is used to establish

the fair value. Valuation techniques include using recent

arm’s-length market transactions between knowledgea-

ble, willing parties, reference to the current fair value of

another instrument that is substantially the same,

discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models,

and etc. The Bank calibrates its valuation technique and

tests it for validity periodically.

fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit

or loss.

If an embedded derivative is separated, the host

contract shall be accounted for in accordance with (a)

and (b) in this notes.

The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the

purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributa-

ble expenditure for bringing the asset to working condi-

tion for its intended use. The cost of self-constructed

assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour,

capitalised borrowing costs, and any other costs directly

attributable to bringing the asset to working condition

for its intended use.

Where the parts of an item of fixed assets have different

useful lives or provide benefits to the Bank in a different

pattern, thus necessitating use of different depreciation

rates or methods, each part is recognised as a separate

fixed asset.

The subsequent costs including the cost of replacing

part of an item of fixed assets, are recognised in the

carrying amount of the item if the criteria to recognised

fixed assets are satisfied, and the carrying amount of

the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the

day-to-day servicing of fixed assets are recognised in

profit or loss as incurred. Gains or losses arising from

the retirement or disposal of an item of fixed asset are

determined as the difference between the net disposal

proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and are

recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or

disposal.

Useful lives, residual value and depreciation methods

are reviewed at least at each year-end.

Rental payments under operating leases are recognised

as part of the cost of another related asset or as expens-

es on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contin-

gent rental payments are recognised as expenses in the

accounting period in which they are incurred.

The carrying amounts of the following assets are

reviewed at each balance sheet date based on the inter-

nal and external sources of information to determine

whether there is any indication of impairment:

fixed assets

intangible assets

If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired,

the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. In

addition, the Bank estimates the recoverable amounts

of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that have

yet to reach a working condition at least once during

each year irrespective of whether there is any indication

of impairment.

The carrying amounts of financial assets (other than

those at fair value through profit or loss) are reviewed

at each balance sheet date to determine whether there

is objective evidence of impairment. If any such

evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised.

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity invest-

ments

Held-to-maturity investments are assessed for impair-

ment on an individual basis. Loans and receivables are

assessed for impairment both on an individual basis and

on a collective group basis.

Where impairment is assessed on an individual basis, an

impairment loss in respect of a loan and receivable or

held-to-maturity investment is calculated as the excess

of its carrying amount over the present value of its

estimated future cash flows (exclusive of future credit

losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the

original effective interest rate. All impairment losses are

recognised in profit or loss.

An assessment is made collectively where loans and

receivables share similar credit risk characteristics

(including those not individually assessed as impaired),

based on their historical loss experiences, and adjusted

by the observable factors reflecting present economic

conditions.

If, after an impairment loss has been recognised on

loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments,

there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of the

financial asset which can be related objectively to an

event occurring after the impairment was recognised,

Intangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost

less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated

useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note

3(8)(b)). For an intangible asset with a finite useful life,

its cost less estimated residual value and accumulated

impairment losses is amortised on the straight-line

method over its estimated useful life, unless it is classi-

fied as held for sale. At the balance sheet date, the

Bank’s intangible assets consisted of software, which is

amortised over three to ten years.

An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite

useful life and is not amortised when there is no foresee-

able limit to the period over which the asset is expected

to generate economic benefits for the Bank. At the

balance sheet date, the Bank did not have any intangible

assets with indefinite useful lives.

the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed

through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss

will not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding

what the amortised cost would have been had no impair-

ment loss been recognised in prior years.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are assessed for

impairment on an individual basis. When an availa-

ble-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the cumulative

loss arising from decline in fair value that has been

recognised directly in equity is reclassified to profit or

loss even though the financial asset has not been derec-

ognised. If, after an impairment loss has been recog-

nised on an available-for sale debt instrument, the fair

value of the debt instrument increases in a subsequent

period and the increase can be objectively related to an

event occurring after the impairment loss was recog-

nised, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or

loss.

An asset group is the smallest identifiable group of

assets that generates cash inflows and that is largely

independent of the cash inflows from other assets or

asset groups. An asset group is composed of assets

directly related to cash-generation. Identification of an

asset group is based on whether major cash inflows

generated by the asset group are largely independent of

the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. In

identifying an asset group, the Bank also considers how

management monitors the Bank’s operations and how

management makes decisions about continuing or

disposing of the Bank’s assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset, asset group or set

of asset groups is the higher of its fair value less costs to

sell and the present value of expected future cash flows.

An asset’s fair value less costs to sell is the amount

determined by the price of a sale agreement in an

arm’s-length transaction less the costs that are directly

attributable to the disposal of the asset. The present

value of the expected future cash flows of an asset is

determined by discounting the future cash flows,

estimated to be derived from continuing use of the asset

and from its ultimate disposal to their present value

using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate.

If the result of the recoverable amount calculation

indicates the recoverable amount of an asset is less

than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the

asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduc-

tion is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to

profit or loss for the current period. A provision for

impairment of the asset is recognised accordingly. For

impairment losses related to an asset group or a set of

asset groups, reduce the carrying amount of the other

assets in the asset group or set of asset groups on a pro

rata basis. However, the carrying amount of an impaired

asset will not be lower than the greatest amount of its

Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given

and other related expenditures incurred in exchange for

services rendered by employees. Except for termination

benefits, employee benefits are recognised as a liability

in the period in which the associated services are

rendered by employees, with a corresponding increase

in the cost of relevant assets or expenses in the current

period.

The Bank provides an annuity plan to the eligible

employees. The Bank makes annuity contribution in

proportion to its employees’ gross salaries, which are

expensed in profit or loss when the contributions are

made.

When the Bank terminates the employment relationship

with employees before the employment contracts

expire, or provides compensation as an offer to encour-

age employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provi-

sion for the termination benefits to be provided is

recognised in profit or loss when both of the following

conditions are satisfied:

The Bank has a formal plan for the termination of

employment or has made an offer to employees for

voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented short-

ly;

The Bank is not allowed to withdraw from termination

plan or redundancy offer unilaterally.

Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or

loss except to the extent that they relate to a business

combination or items recognised directly in equity

(including other comprehensive income).

Current tax is the expected tax payable calculated at the

applicable tax rate on taxable income for the year, plus

any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous

years.

At the balance sheet date, current tax assets and liabili-

ties are offset if the Bank has a legally enforceable right

to set them off and also intends either to settle on a net

basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simul-

taneously.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible

and taxable temporary differences respectively, being

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the

PRC, employees of the Bank participate in the social

insurance system established and managed by govern-

ment organisations. The Bank makes social insurance

contributions, including contributions to basic pension

insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment

insurance, work-related injury insurance, maternity

insurance and etc., as well as contributions to housing

fund, at the applicable benchmarks and rates stipulated

by the government for the benefit of its employees. The

social insurance and housing fund contributions are

recognised as part of the cost of assets or charged to

profit or loss on an accrual basis. Except for the above

contributions, the Bank has no other obligations in this

respect.

ty-settled share-based payments.

Where the Bank uses shares or other equity instruments

as consideration for services received from employees,

the payment is measured at the fair value of the equity

instruments granted to the employees. If the equity

instruments granted to employees vest immediately,

the fair value of the equity instruments granted on its

grant date is recognised as a relevant cost or expense

with a corresponding increase in capital reserve. If the

equity instruments granted to employees do not vest

until the completion of services for a vesting period, or

until the achievement of a specified performance condi-

tion, the Bank, at each balance sheet date during the

vesting period, makes the best estimation according to

the latest information of the number of employees who

are granted to vest and revises the number of equity

instruments expected to vest. Based on its best estima-

tion, the Bank recognises the services received for the

current period as related costs or expenses, with a

corresponding increase in capital reserve, at an amount

equal to the fair value of the equity instruments at the

grant date.

When the Bank receives services but has no obligation

to settle the transaction, and the related equity instru-

ments are issued by the Bank’s ultimate parent, the

Bank recognises the transaction as an equity-settled

share-based payment transaction.

the differences between the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their

tax bases, which include the deductible losses and tax

credits carried forward to subsequent periods.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it

is probable that future taxable profits will be available

against which deductible temporary differences can be

utilised.

Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differenc-

es arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabili-

ties in a transaction that is not a business combination

and that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable

profit (or tax loss).

At the balance sheet date, the amount of deferred tax

recognised is measured based on the expected manner

of recovery or settlement of the carrying amount of the

assets and liabilities, using tax rates that are expected

to be applied in the period when the asset is recovered

or the liability is settled in accordance with tax laws.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed

at each balance sheet date. The carrying amount of a

deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no

longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be

available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset

to be utilised. Such reduction is reversed to the extent

that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits

will be available.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabil-

ities are offset if all the following conditions are met:

the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to

offset current tax liabilities and assets, and

they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax

authority on either:

A provision is recognised for an obligation related to a

contingency if the Bank has a present obligation that

can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an

outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle

the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of

money is material, provisions are determined by

discounting the expected future cash flows.

In terms of a possible obligation resulting from a past

transaction or event, whose existence will only be

confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of

uncertain future events or a present obligation resulting

from a past transaction or event, where it is not proba-

ble that the settlement of the above obligation will

cause an outflow of economic benefits, or the amount of

the outflow can not be estimated reliably, the possible

or present obligation is disclosed as a contingent liabili-

ty.

Government grants are transfers of monetary assets or

non-monetary assets from the government to the Bank

at no consideration except for any capital contribution

from the government as a shareholder of the Bank.

Special funds such as investment grants allocated by

the government, if clearly defined in official documents

as part of “capital reserve” are dealt with as capital

contributions, and not regarded as government grants.

A government grant is recognised when there is reason-

able assurance that the grant will be received and that

the Bank will comply with the conditions associated with

the grant.

If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a

monetary asset, it is measured at the amount that is

received or receivable. If a government grant is in the

form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is meas-

ured at its fair value.

A government grant related to an asset is recognised

initially as deferred income and amortised to profit or

loss on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the

asset. A grant that compensates the Bank for expenses

to be incurred in the subsequent periods is recognised

initially as deferred income and recognised in profit or

loss in the same periods in which the expenses are

recognised. A grant that compensates the Bank for

expenses incurred is recognised in profit or loss immedi-

ately.

Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits in the

periods arising in the course of the Bank’s ordinary

activities when the inflows result in increase in share-

holders’ equity, other than increases relating to contri-

butions from shareholders. Revenue is recognised in

profit or loss when it is probable that the economic

benefits will flow to the Bank, the revenue and costs can

be measured reliably and the following respective condi-

tions are met: Fee and commission income is recognised in the income

statement when the corresponding service is provided.

Origination or commitment fees received by the Bank

which result in the creation or acquisition of a financial

asset are deferred and recognised as an adjustment to Interest income arising from the use by others of entity

assets is recognised in the income statement based on

The Bank acts in a fiduciary capacity as a custodian,

trustee or an agent for its customers. Assets held by the

ments as the risks and rewards of the assets reside with

the customers.

Entrusted lending is the business where the Bank enters

into entrusted loan agreements with customers, where-

by the customers provide funding (entrusted funds) to

the Bank, and the Bank grants loans to third parties

(entrusted loans) at the instruction of the customers. As

the Bank does not assume the risks and rewards of the

entrusted loans and the corresponding entrusted funds,

entrusted loans and funds are recorded as off-balance

sheet items at their principal amounts and no impair-

ment assessments are made for these entrusted loans.

Wealth management business refers to agreements

between the Bank and its customers to raise funds from

them for investment in the assets of the Bank or third

parties. In this business, the Bank performs its manage-

ment duties and collects corresponding fees in accord-

ance with the relevant agreements. As the Bank does

not assume the risks and rewards of the funds and

investments of the wealth management business, the

corrensponding funds and investments are recorded as

the duration and the effective interest rate. Interest

income includes the amortisation of any discount or

premium or differences between the initial carrying

amount of an interest-bearing instrument and its

amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest

rate basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating

the amortised cost of financial assets and liabilities and

of allocating the interest income and interest expense

over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is

the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash

payments or receipts through the expected life of the

financial instrument, or, when appropriate, a shorter

period, to the net carrying amount of the financial

instrument. When calculating the effective interest rate,

the Bank estimates cash flows considering all the

contractual terms of the financial instrument (for exam-

ple, prepayment, call and similar options) but does not

consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all

fees and points paid or received between parties to the

contract that are an integral part of the effective inter-

est rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or

discounts.

Interest on the impaired financial assets is calculated

and recognised using the rate of interest used to

discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring

the related impairment loss.

the effective interest rate. If the commitment expires

without the Bank making a loan, the fee is recognised as

revenue on expiry.

Distributions of profit proposed in the profit appropria-

declared after the balance sheet date are not recog-

nised as a liability at the balance sheet date but

disclosed in the notes separately.

The preparation of financial statements requires man-

agement to make estimates and assumptions that affect

the application of accounting policies and the reported

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on

an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are

recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised

and in any future periods affected. Note 9(b) and Note

9(d) contain information about the assumpations and

their risk factors relating to share-based payments and

termination benefits. Other key sources of estimation

uncertainty are as follows:

Determining income tax provisions involves judgement

on the future tax treatment of certain transactions. The

Bank carefully evaluates the tax implications of transac-

tions and sets up tax provisions accordingly. The tax

treatment of such transactions is reconsidered periodi-

The fair values for financial instruments that lack an

active market to provide quoted prices are established

using valuation techniques. These techniques include

using recent arm’s-length market transactions between

knowledgeable, willing parties; reference to the current

fair value of another instrument that is substantially the

same; discounted cash flow analysis; and option pricing

models. The Bank has established a process to ensure

that valuation techniques are constructed by qualified

personnel and are validated and reviewed by independ-

ent personnel. Valuation techniques are certified before

implementation and are calibrated to ensure that

outputs reflect actual market conditions. Valuation

models established by the Bank make the maximum use

of market inputs and rely as little as possible on

Bank-specific information. However, it should be noted

that some inputs, such as credit and counterparty risk,

and risk correlations, require management estimates.

Management estimates and assumptions are reviewed

periodically and are adjusted if necessary.

The Bank reviews the portfolios of loans and advances

periodically to assess whether impairment losses exist

and if they exist, an impairment loss is recognised.

Objective evidence for impairment includes observable

data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in

the estimated future cash flows identified with an

individual loan. It also includes observable data indicat-

ing adverse changes in the repayment status of borrow-

ers or issuers in the assets portfolio or national or local

economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the

assets in the portfolio. The impairment loss for a loan

that is individually assessed for impairment is the

decrease in the estimated discounted future cash flow

of that asset. When loans and advances are collectively

assessed for impairment, the estimate is based on

Reportable segments are identified based on operating

segments which are determined based on the structure

of the Bank’s internal organisation, management

requirements and internal reporting system. An operat-

ing segment is a component of the Bank that engages in

business activities from which it may earn revenues and

incur expenses, whose financial performance are regu-

larly reviewed by the Bank’s management to make

decisions about recources to be allocated to the

segment and assess its performance, and for which

financial information regarding financial position, finan-

cial performance and cash flows is available.

Two or more operating segments may be aggregated

into a single operating segment if the segments have

same or similar economic characteristics and are similar

in respect of:

the nature of each products and services

the nature of production processes

the type or class of customers for the products and

services

the methods used to distribute the products or

provide the services

the nature of the regulatory environment.

Inter-segment revenues are measured on the basis of

If a party has the power to control, jointly control or

exercise significant influence over another party, or vice

common control or joint control from another party,

they are considered to be related parties. Related

parties may be individuals or enterprises. Enterprises

with which the Bank is under common control only from

the State and that have no other related-party relation-

(1) The Bank places statutory deposit reserves with the

PBOC in accordance with the Regulation of the PRC on

the Administration of Foreign-funded Banks (Adminis-

trative Regulation) and relevant regulations. The statu-

tory deposit reserves are not available for use in the

Bank’s daily business. As at the balance sheet date, the

statutory deposit reserve rates applicable to the Bank

were as follows:

(2) The surplus deposit reserves are maintained with

the PBOC mainly for settlement purposes.

The major types of taxes applicable to the Bank and the

tax rates are as follows:

Business tax is charged at 5% on taxable income (2012:

5%).

The statutory income tax rate applicable to the Bank is

25%. The applicable income tax rate for the year is the

statutory rate (2012: 25%).

As described in Note 3(8)(b), fixed assets and intangible

assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to deter-

mine whether the carrying amount exceeds the recover-

able amount of the assets. If any such indication exists,

related assets are regarded as impaired and impairment

losses recognised accordingly.

The recoverable amount of an asset (asset group) is the

greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its present

value of the expected future cash flows. Since a market

price for the asset (or the asset group) cannot be

obtained reliably, the fair value of the asset cannot be

estimated reliably. In assessing value in use, significant

judgements are exercised over the asset’s production,

selling price, related operating expenses and discount

rate to calculate the present value. All relevant materi-

als which can be obtained are used to estimate the

recoverable amount, including an estimation of the

production, selling price and related operating expenses

based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

As described in Note 3(5) and 3(7), fixed assets and

intangible assets are depreciated and amortised over

their useful lives after taking into account residual

value. The useful lives of the assets are regularly

reviewed to determine the depreciation and amortisa-

tion costs charged in each reporting period. The useful

lives of the assets are determined based on historical

experiences of similar assets and estimated technical

changes. If there have been significant changes in the

factors used to determine the depreciation or amortisa-

tion, the rate of depreciation or amortisation is revised

prospectively.

assess the probability of future taxable profits. Manage-

ment’s assessment is constantly reviewed and addition-

al deferred tax assets are recognised if it becomes prob-

able that future taxable profits will allow the deferred

tax assets to be utilized.

(5) Transactions with the annuity plan

Apart from the obligations for defined contributions to the annuity plan, no other transactions were conducted

between the Bank and the annuity plan during the year.

The Bank’s share-based payment scheme is devised to reward staff for their services.

As at 31 December 2013, the outstanding number of shares in connection with share-based payments which the Bank

granted to its staff but not exercised is 323,324 (2012: 415,741). The above shares are the shares of Citigroup Inc.

This segment provides a range of financial products and

services to individual customers, including: personal

deposit taking activities, personal short-term, medi-

um-term and long-term loans, personal domestic and

foreign settlement, foreign exchange trade and agent

services, insurance agent services, bank card services

and safe deposit box services.

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and

allocating resources between segments, the Bank’s

management regularly reviews the assets, liabilities,

revenue, expenses and financial performance, attributa-

ble to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment assets include all tangible, intangible, other

non-current and current assets, with the exception of

deferred tax assets and other unallocated corporate

assets. Segment liabilities include deposits from

customers, deposits from inter-banks and non-bank

financial institutions, borrowings from inter-banks and

other liabilities attributable to the individual segments.

Financial performance is operating income (including

operating income from external customers and

inter-segment operating income) after deducting

expenses, depreciation, amortisation and impairment

losses attributable to the individual segments. Inter-seg-

ment sales are determined with reference to prices

charged to external parties for similar orders. Non-oper-

ating income and expenses and tax expenses are not

allocated to individual segments. Information regarding

the Bank’s reportable segments set out below includes

the information used for assessing segment perfor-

mance and allocating segment assets and liabilities by

the Bank’s management or not used but regularly

reviewd by the Bank’s management:

This segment mainly includes assets, liabilities, income

and expenses which cannot be attributed to directly or

divided reasonably to segments.

The Bank has two reportable segments, which are corpo-

rate banking and personal banking segment, determined

based on the structure of its internal organisation, man-

agement requirements and internal reporting system.

Each reportable segment is a separate business unit

which offers different products and services, and is man-

aged separately because they require different technol-

ogy and marketing strategies. The financial information

of the different segments is regularly reviewed by the

Bank’s management to make decisions about resources

to be allocated to each segment and assess its perfor-

mance.

This segment provides a range of financial products and

services to corporations and financial institutions,

including: corporate deposit taking activities, corporate

short-term, medium-term and long-term loans, bank

acceptances and bills discounted, government bonds

and financial bonds transactions, foreign currency secu-

rities transactions other than stocks, letters of credit

and guarantees, corporate domestic and foreign settle-

ments, foreign exchange trade and agent services,

inter-bank placements and borrowings, safe deposit box

services, credit investigation and advisory services.

(2) Geographic information

The following table sets out information about the

geographical location of the Bank’s operating income

from external customers and the Bank’s non-current

assets (excluding financial instruments, deferred tax

assets, same as below). The geographical information is

based on the location of customers receiving services.

The geographical location of the specified non-current

assets is based on the physical location of the asset, in

the case of fixed assets; and the location of the opera-

tion to which they are allocated, in the case of intangible

assets.

At the balance sheet dates, the entrusted loans and

funds were as follows:

Secured liabilities are recorded as financial assets sold

under repurchase agreements. These transactions are

conducted under usual and customary terms of borrow-

ing.

The Bank is exposed to many financial risks due to its

operating activities. The Bank analyses, evaluates,

accepts and manages risks, or risk portfolios at different

levels. The Bank’s main operating risks include credit

risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Market risks include

interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The Bank’s

objective is to reach an appropriate balance between

risks and rewards, while minimising the negative impact

on its financial statements.

The Bank’s risk management policies aim to identify and

analyse risks to establish appropriate risk limits and

control measures, and to monitor risks and risk limits via

an information system.

The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for estab-

lishing the Bank’s risk management strategy. The Bank’s

Risk Management Committee is in charge of the man-

agement and supervision responsibilities related to risk

control of the Bank, including periodically assess the

Bank’s overall risk exposures, provide guidance for

developing a sound risk management and internal

control strategies and policies, and monitor their imple-

mentation. The Risk Management Committee reports to

the Board of Directors. The Bank’s senior management

is responsible for establishing risk management policies

and procedures, including specific risk management

policies for credit risk, interest rate risk and exchange

rate risk based on the risk management strategy

approved by Risk Management Committee and Board of

Directors. These risk management policies are

performed by different head office departments upon

approval from the Board of Directors. The internal audit

department of the Bank is responsible for independently

inspecting risk management and internal control.

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instru

ment will cause a financial loss for the other party by

failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk mainly

arises from credit business. In treasury transactions,

credit risk refers to the possibility that the value of the

assets held by the Bank may decrease due to a fall in the

rating of the issuer of the debt security.

Credit business

Considering the market economic environment,

business development strategy and the requirements of

clients, the Bank provides various direct credit and

direct credit substitute businesses in the scope of risk

control to foreign-invested companies set up in the PRC

by multinationals, domestic companies with good credit

standing, as well as individual customers of good credit.

The Bank has established a strict credit management system, including credit approval, daily credit monitoring, reme-

dial management, policies for loan loss provisioning and loan write-off and restructuring.

The Bank adopts the loan risk classification approach introduced by Citigroup to monitor the risk condition of its loan

portfolios. Loans are classified by a five-tier grading system: pass / Pass Watch List (PWL), special mention/substand-

ard (accruing), substandard (non-accruing), doubtful and loss, according to risk levels. The five-tier grading for loans

and advances is defined as follows:

A comparison of the Bank’s loan risk classification criteria and Yin Jian Fa [2007] No. 54 has been filed with the CBRC as follows:

The last three gradings of the CBRC’s five-tier classification are regarded as impaired loans and advances. If there is any indication of

objective evidence that impairment and impairment loss has occurred, the loan is classified as an impaired loans and advances. The

provision for impairment of impaired loans and advances shall be assessed collectively or individually based on the actual condition.

The Bank manages, restricts and controls identified centralised credit risks, especially credit risks centralised in a single borrower,

group or industry. The Bank sets limits on the same borrower, group or industry to optimise its credit risk structure. The Bank moni-

tors these risks regularly, and reviews them annually or more frequently if necessary. The Bank manages credit risk via timely analysis

of the borrower’s ability to repay the principal and interest, and adjusts its credit lines accordingly. Other specific risk management

and mitigation measures include the following:

The objective of credit commitment is to ensure the client obtains the funds needed. When the amount of credit commitment applied

by a client exceeds the credit line originally authorised, the Bank asks for a deposit from the client to reduce the related credit risk.

The Bank mitigates credit risk by obtaining collateral, guarantees and security from companies or individuals. The Bank has specified

categories of acceptable collateral, including properties, commercial assets (commercial properties and accounts receivables), and

financial instruments (bonds and stocks). To reduce credit risk, the Bank has stipulated discount rates for different collaterals (the

ratio between the fast cash realisable value to the market fair value of the collateral) to reflect the cash realisable value. For a loan

guaranteed by a third party, the Bank assesses the guarantor’s financial condition, historical credit record and ability to settle the

debts on behalf of the borrower.

Except for loans, collaterals or guarantees needed for other financial assets shall be determined by the nature of the instruments.

Generally, no collaterals are designated for investments in debt securities, treasury bonds and other notes, and financial instrument

portfolios are generally used as collateral for asset-backed securities.

Treasury business

The Bank sets credit limits based on the credit risk inherent in the products, counterparties and geographical area. The system closely

monitors the credit exposure on a real-time basis. The Bank regularly reviews its credit limit policies and routinely updates the credit

limits.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial

instruments, in the balance sheet. The maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of these financial guarantees at the balance sheet

date is disclosed in Note 43(1).

(ii) The balances represent collectively assessed allowances of

impairment losses.

Market risk management involves an overall process of market

risks identification, measurement, monitoring and control.

Market risk refers to the risk of financial instruments’ fair value

or future cash flow fluctuations due to changes in market

prices, including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and

other price risk. Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of

financial instruments’ fair value or future cash flow fluctuations

due to changes in foreign exchange rates; interest rate risk

refers to the risk of financial instruments’ fair value or future

cash flow fluctuations due to changes in interest rates; other

price risk refers to the market risks other than foreign

exchange risk and interest rate risk.

The Bank’s interest rate risk includes the risks arising from

mismatches of the term structures of assets and liabilities

related to banking business and from positions held for trading

purpose in treasury transactions. The Bank calculates its

interest rate risk exposure according to the maturity dates of

all its interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and performs daily

interest rate sensitivity analysis and periodical stress test.

Meanwhile, by closely observing interest rate trends (both in

Renminbi and foreign currency) and market interest rate

changes, the Bank conducts proper scenario analysis and

makes timely adjustments to the loan and deposit interest rates

(both in Renminbi and foreign currency) in line with the bench-

mark interest rates to reduce its interest rate risk.

The Bank’s foreign currency risk exposures mainly arise from

on balance sheet assets and liabilities designated in foreign

currencies and off balance sheet derivatives designated in

foreign currencies. The Bank’s main principle of currency risk

control is to match the assets and liabilities of the respective

individual currency to minimize the foreign exchange risk, and

to control the currency risk within limits set by the Bank. The

Bank, based on the guiding principles of Risk Management

The carrying amounts of debt securities analysed by the exter-

nal rating agency Standard & Poors’ designations at the

Debt securities include trading financial assets and availa-

ble-for-sale financial assets.

with inter-banks. Distribution of amounts due from inter-banks

in terms of credit quality mainly with reference to the external

Page 54: ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - Citi

41 Risk management

Committee, relevant laws and regulations and the manage-

ment’s evaluation of the current environment, has set risk

tolerance limits, and minimises the mismatch of assets and

liabilities in different currencies via reasonable arrangements

on the source and usage of foreign currency capital. Foreign

currency exposures are managed based on business category,

delegated trader authorisation limits, currencies and risk

factors. The Bank conducts hedge transactions with overseas

branches of Citibank to offset exchange rate risks for deriva-

tives designated in foreign currencies.

The Bank classifies financial instruments into investment

portfolios held for trading and non-trading investment portfoli-

os to effectively monitor market risk. The Bank mainly manages

market risk via its market risk limit policy. According to the

CBRC’s Market Risk Management Guidelines for Commercial

Banks and Citigroup’s global risk management policy, the Bank

has established market risk limits and measurement policies to

set related limits and approval mechanism on all market risk

exposures. The policies illustrate the structure and approval

system of market risk limits. Market risk limits mainly include

risk factor limits, position limits, value-at-risk (VaR) limits and

stop-loss trigger.

VaR analysis

For investment portfolios held for trading, the Bank adopts VaR

analysis to evaluate market risk. VaR estimates potential losses

arising from changes in market interest rates and prices within

a defined period and confidence interval. The Bank’s market

risk management department calculates the VaR of investment

portfolios held for trading according to the historical changes

of the market interest rates and prices (confidence interval:

99%, observation time: 1 trading day).

Although VaR is an important tool for measuring market risk,

the assumptions on which the model is based do give rise to

some limitations, including the following:

— A 1-day holding period assumes that it is possible to hedge

or dispose of positions within that period. This is considered to

be a realistic assumption in almost all cases but may not be the

case in situations in which there is severe market illiquidity for

a prolonged period;

— A 99% confidence level does not reflect losses that may

occur beyond this level. Even with the model used there is 1%

probability that losses could exceed the VaR;

— VaR is calculated on an end-of-day basis and does not

reflect exposures that may arise on positions during the trading

day; and

— The use of historical data as a basis for determining the

possible range of future outcomes may not always cover all

possible scenarios, especially those of an exceptional nature.

A summary of the VaR of the Bank’s trading portfolios at the

balance sheet date and during the respective year is as follows:

(Renminbi million)

2013

As at 31 December Average Maximum Minimum

Interest rate risk 8.90 19.47 34.87 7.67

Foreign currency risk 8 .83 12.80 26.87 3.58 Total VaR 11.02 20.77 36.56 8.29

2012

As at 31 December Average Maximum Minimum

Interest rate risk 25.70 25.87 41.45 16.33

Foreign currency risk 12.52 11.70 21.09 3.66 Total VaR 28.95 30.01 43.93 21.17

To address the above limitations in VaR analysis, the Bank

performs retrospective tests periodically to ensure the effec-

tiveness of the relevant models. Furthermore, the Bank

performs market risk stress testing periodically to assess the

maximum losses under extreme price fluctuation scenarios.

(3) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that a financial institution fails to meet

its obligations related to financial liabilities due to lack of funds

caused by mismatches between the amounts and maturity

dates of assets and liabilities.

The primary liquidity risk management measure adopted by the

Bank is to match the maturity date structures between assets

and liabilities. Due to differences between various businesses

and maturity tenors, it is impractical to maintain a perfect

match between assets and liabilities. To meet relevant liquidity

requirements, the Bank has established a set of thresholds for

managing, measuring, monitoring and reporting liquidity risk,

including liquidity limits for normal operations, liquidity ratios,

market triggers and regular stress testing. In addition, the Bank

established Liquidity Funding Plan and Contingency Funding

Plan to maintain an appropriate balance of cash flows and to

ensure all the required funds can be provided at maturity.

The Finance department provides a daily calculation of regula-

tory liquidity ratios to relevant departments of the Bank. Global

Markets department is responsible for managing the liquidity

risk on daily basis and executes the liquid funds instructions.

Market Risk Management monitors the liquidity risk independe-

ntly. The Asset Liability Committee will also regularly review

the liquidity status of the Bank.

The following tables provide an analysis of the contractual

undiscounted cashflows of the Bank’s financial assets and

liabilities at the balance sheet dates. Interest receivable and

payable of financial assets and liabilities with fixed terms are

presented according to the due dates of interest stipulated in

the contracts; current financial assets and liabilities (including

interest receivable and payable as at the balance sheet dates)

are presented under the item “repayable on demand”. Since

derivatives are generally held for short-term purposes, their

cashflows are not included in the following analysis.

(4) Capital management

41 Risk management

The capital management of the Bank covers the calcula-

tion and reporting of capital adequacy ratio (CAR),

capital assessment and capital planning. The CAR of the

Bank represent its ability to operating healthily and

dealing with risks. The CAR management of the Bank

aims to ensure the Bank held adequate capital, which is

appropriate to risk exposure and consistent with risk

assessment result of the Bank, to meet the demand of

business operation and the requirement of relavant

regulatory. The capital planning aims to set a target

CAR which satisfies the Bank with the demand of future

business development strategy, risk appetite, risk man-

agement, external business environment and long-term

sustainability of various capital sources.

The prudent and solid concept of capital management

ensures the Bank to retain its capital at an adequate

level to support business development under all condi-

tions and to adjust CAR to a reasonable level timely and

effectively, if necessary.

The management monitor the utilisation of CAR and

regulatory capital according to the requirement of

CBRC. The capital of the Bank is composed of core tier

one capital, other tier one capital and tier two capital.

The Bank reported relevant information to CBRC on a

quarterly basis.

The scope of the Bank’s CAR calculation of the Bank

covers all branches and sub-branches located in main-

land China. Currently, the Bank does not have any over-

sea branches.

Commercial banks shall conform to the regulatory

requirements relating to capital adequacy ratio required

by CBRC. For systematicaly-impartant banks, the

adequacy ratio of core tier one capital shall not be less

that 8.5%; the adequacy ratio of tier one capital shall

not be less than 9.5%; and the capital adequacy ratio

shall not be less than 11.5%, as at 31 December 2018. For

non-systematically-important banks, the adequacy ratio

of core tier one capital shall not be less than 7.5%; the

adequacy ratio of tier one capital shall not be less than

8.5%; and the capital adequacy ratio shall not be less

than 10.5%, as at 31 December 2018. The CBRC also

required conmmercial banks to introduce reverse

capital during transition period. As at 31 December 2013,

for non-systematically-important banks, the adequacy

ratio of core tier one capital shall not be less that 5.5%;

the adequacy ratio of tier one capital shall not be less

than 6.5%; and the capital adequacy ratio shall not be

less than 8.5%.

Before 1 January 2013, the CBRC required the capital

adequacy ratio not to be less than 8%, and the adequa-

cy ratio of core capital not to be less than 4%. As at 31

December 2012, the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank

was calculated in accordance with the Administration of

Capital Adequacy Ratios of Commercial Banks Proce-

dures issued by the CBRC and other related laws and

regulations.

Since 1 January 2013, the capital adequacy ratio of the

Bank has been calculated in accordance with Adminis-

trative Measures on Capitals of Commercial Bank (For

Trial Implementation) issued by the CBRC and other

related laws and regulations. As at 31 December 2013,

the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank has been calcu-

lated in accordance with Administrative Measures on

Capitals of Commercial Bank (For Trial Implementation)

issued by the CBRC and other related laws and regula-

tions, and the calculation result is in compliance with the

regulatory capital requirements.

The risk weighted assets of on-balance sheet assets are

calculated based on various risk weights. The risk

weights are determined in consideration of the risk

factors of various assets, counterparties, markets and

other relevant aspects, as well as qualified collateral

and guarantee. The off-balance sheet exposures are

calculated by the similar methodology with adjustments

of contingent losses. The credit risk weighted assets for

counter parties in terms of over-the-counter derivative

transactions are the summation of defaulted risk

weighted assets and credit valuation adjustment risk

weighted assets. The market risk weighted assets are

measured by standard method. The operational risk

weighted assets are measured by basic indicator

method.

The capital adequacy ratio and relevant data of the

Bank are calculated on the basis of the financial state-

ments prepared in accordance with the CAS. The Bank is

in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements

during the year.

The adequacy ratio of core tier one capital, the adequa-

cy ratio of tier one capital and the capital adequacy ratio

as at 31 December 2013 calculated in accordance with

Administrative Measures on Capitals of Commercial

Bank (For Trial Implementation) and other related laws

and regulations are as follows:

31 December 2013

Net core tier one capital 11,387,658,134

Net tier one capital 11,387,658,134

Net capital 11,766,169,034

Total risk assets (a ) 82,770,443,222

Adequacy ratio of core tier one capital 13. 7 6 %

Adequacy ratio of tier one capital 13. 7 6 %

Capital adequacy ratio 14. 2 2 %

(a) The total risk assets are composed of weighted

credit risk assets, weighted market risk assets and

weighted operational risk assets. Weighted market

risk assets include 12.5x market risk assets.

The core capital adequacy ratio and capital adequacy

ratio as at 31 December 2012 calculated in accordance

with Administration of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Com-

mercial Banks Procedures and other related laws and

regulations were as follows:

31 December 2012 Core capital adequacy ratio 16.63%

Capital adequacy ratio 16.99%

42 Fair value of financial instruments

(1) Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following table presents the carrying value of financial

instruments measured at fair value as at 31 December across

the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair

value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is

categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the

lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measure-

ment in its entirety. The levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – fair value measurements using quoted prices in active

markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – fair value measurements using inputs other than

quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the

asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

This category includes instruments using valuation technique:

quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments;

quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets

that are considered less than active; or other valuation

techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly

observable from market data.

Level 3 – fair value measurements using inputs for the asset or

liability that are not based on observable market data

This category includes all instruments where the valuation

technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the

unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instru-

ment’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are

valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where

significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are

required to reflect differences between the instruments.

Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are

traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or

dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments the

Bank determines fair values using valuation techniques.

Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted

cash flow models, comparison to similar instruments for which

market observable prices exist, polynomial option pricing

models and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs

used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark

interest rates, credit spreads and other premia used in estimat-

ing discount rates, bond and equity prices, foreign currency

exchange rates, equity and equity index prices and expected

price volatilities and correlations. The objective of valuation

techniques is to arrive at a fair value determination that

reflects the price of the financial instrument at the reporting

date, that would have been determined by market participants

acting at arm’s length.

The Bank uses widely recognised valuation models for deter-

mining the fair value of common and more simple financial

instruments, like interest rate and currency swaps that use only

observable market data and require little management judge-

ment and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are

usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securi-

ties, exchange traded derivatives and simple over the counter

derivatives like interest rate swaps.

For more complex financial instruments, the Bank uses proprie-

tary valuation models, which usually are developed from recog-

nised valuation models. Some or all of the significant inputs into

these models may not be observable in the market, and are

derived from market prices or rates or are estimated based on

assumptions. Example of instruments involving significant

unobservable inputs include certain over the counter struc-

tured derivatives, certain loans and securities for which there is

no active market and retained interests in securitisations.

Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs

require a higher degree of management judgement and estima-

tion in the determination of fair value. Management judgement and estimation are usually required for selection of the appropriate

valuation model to be used, determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of

probability of counterpart default and prepayments and selection of appropriate discount rates. For those more complex financial

instruments, the Bank performs calibration and back testing of models against observed market transactions and conduct regular

stress testing.

The Bank has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Bank’s processes include a

number of key controls that are designed to ensure that fair value is measured appropriately, particularly where a fair value model is

internally developed and used to price a significant product. Such controls include a model validation policy requiring that valuation

models be validated by qualified personnel, independent from those who created the models and escalation procedures, to ensure that

valuations using unverifiable inputs are identified and monitored on a regular basis by senior management. Approvals from both

market risk department and product control department must be obtained prior to the use of valuation methodologies. The Bank’s

valuation models are reviewed and approved by market risk department which is independent from the front office.

42 Fair value of financial instruments43 Commitments and contingent liabilities

During the year ended 31 December 2013, there was no signifi-

cant transfer between instruments in Level 1 and Level 2.

During the year ended 31 December 2013, there was no change

in valuation techniques for fair value measurements.

The movement of fair value measurements in Level 3 of the

fair value hierarchy for the year is as follows:

Sensitivity analysis on fair value mearsurements in Level 3 of

the fair value hierarchy

The Bank’s Level 3 financial instruments are mainly structured

derivatives. Any deals between the Bank and its customers are

fully squared with other financial institutions and there is no

open position. Thus, although fair value measurements of Level

3 use inputs that are not based on observable market data and

the measurement is uncertain, there is no impact on the Bank’s

current year profit or equity if such judgement and estimation

on unobservable inputs changes.

(2) Fair value of other financial instruments (not measured at fair value)

(1) Credit commitments

(2) Credit risk weighted amount

The Bank’s other financial assets mainly include deposits with

central bank, deposits with inter-banks, placements with

inter-banks and loans and advances to customers.

Except for loans and advances to customers, most financial

assets are due within one year or are measured at fair value;

therefore their carrying amounts are close to their fair values.

Loans and advances to customers are recorded at amortised

cost less impairment losses (see Note 10). Since the interest

rates for loans and advances are adjusted on a real-time basis

based on the PBOC’s stipulated interest rates, and impaired

loans have been reduced at the amount of impairment losses

to reflect the recoverable amount, the carrying amounts of

loans and advances are close to their fair values.

The Bank’s financial liabilities that are recorded at amortised

cost mainly include deposits from inter-banks and non-bank

financial institutions, borrowings from inter-banks, financial

assets sold under repurchase agreements and deposits from

customers. As at the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts

of the Bank’s financial liabilities are close to their fair values.

The above assumptions and methodologies provide the

consistant basis for calculating the fair value of the Bank’s

assets and liabilities. However, because other financial institu-

tions may use different assumptions and methodologies, the

fair value disclosed by each financial institution may not be

comparable.

At any given time the Bank has outstanding commitments to

extend credit. The Bank provides loan commitments, unused

credit card facilities, financial guarantees and letters of credit

to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties.

The Bank assesses the potential loss of credit commitment on a

periodic basis and recognises liabilities if necessary.

The contractual amounts for loan commitments and credit card

unused facilities represent the total amounts if the Bank makes

the fully payments. The amounts in the table for guarantees

and letters of credit represent the maximum potential loss that

would be recognised at the balance sheet date if counterparties

failed to completely perform as contracted. Acceptances

comprise undertakings by the Bank to pay bills of exchange

drawn by customers. The Bank expects most acceptances to be

settled simultaneously with reimbursement from customers.

As the credit facilities may not be fully used upon maturity, the

contractual amount sets out below does not represent the

expected cash flow out in the future.
