3 MANAGEMENT REPORT The management of AS LTB Bank (hereinafter also the Bank) informs its shareholders, clients, business partners and the general public on the operational result for the six month period ended 30 June In 2011 the Bank continued working on improving its business development strategy and within the framework of the new strategic approaches of the parent bank OAO MDM Bank the Bank developed and adopted a new strategic plan for setting the main goals to balance the Bank s business and increase operational efficiency, retaining a conservative approach with medium risk level and ensuring long-term stability, offering balanced and high quality bank services to corporate clients, as well as ensuring improvement of technological processes and information systems. The Bank has maintained the reputation of a stable and professional business partner. Deutsche Bank, one of the leading banks in the world, has for the fourth time in turn highly appreciated long-term and efficient cooperation with AS LTB Bank by awarding AS LTB Bank with their Deutsche Bank s 2010 Straight Through Processing (STP) Excellence Award for quality payments in USD and EUR. This award is a proof of Bank s payment system quality and efficiency. During the reporting period the Bank continued facing uncertainty regarding the stability of growth of the global economy and the risk of recurrent financial instability that can be practically observed as minimum interest rates in the inter-bank market and low development pace, especially regarding the lending market. Restrictions implemented to regulate the banking sphere as of 2011 have had an adverse impact on the market restricting the economic activity of the Bank and reflect in profitability of the Bank. The operational plan of the Bank for 2011 sets a business policy focused on the development of performance in the sphere of asset operations creating a loan portfolio, including in the local market, and continuing business development based on strict cost management and increasing efficiency in all operational segments. In 2011 the Bank did not face significant changes of operations in comparison with 2010 and the volume of operations recovered gradually. The Bank has managed to retain its customer loyalty and customer base as it has always taken into account the specifics of the customers commercial activities in the area of investments and the related high fluctuations in the volume of customer deposits. Average assets of the Bank during the reporting period amounted to LVL 231,283 thousand. The Bank places such deposits only in highly liquid and safe assets. Regardless of positive trends, minimum interest rates in the financial markets continue to impact net interest margin of the Bank. As the Bank has planned, commission income has increased in comparison with the same period in 2010, however, profit from sales of foreign currencies has decreased. The Bank s operations in the period have generated profit after tax of LVL 483 thousand. Return on equity (ROE) amounted to 2.16%, while return on assets (ROA) was 0.4%. 3

Even though these financial liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position, they do contain credit risk and are therefore part of the overall risk of the Bank. Nevertheless, the potential credit loss is less than the total unused part of the liability since these are contingent upon customers maintaining specific standards. The Bank employs collateral mainly in the form of term deposits for mitigation of related credit risk. 21

22 Issued guarantees commit the Bank to make payments instead of the customers in the event of a specific act. Other commitments respresent contractual obligations on payment cards overdraft facilities. Since contingent liabilities and commitments may expire without being drawn on, the total contract amount do not necessarily represents future cash requirements. 25 Litigation In the ordinary course of business, the Bank is subject to legal actions and complaints.
