12 PJSC Home Loans Refinancing Agency was established in the form of a public joint stock company in accordance with the laws of Ukraine on 17 February. The primary activity of the company is represented by refinancing mortgage loans through the issue of mortgage securities. SSB NO. 1 Plc was established in the form of a public limited liability company in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

The Bank obtained control over it based on the ability to predetermine the activities of SSB NO. 1 Plc (by ensuring its operations on autopilot ) according to the requirements of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Management of SSB NO. 1 Plc has decided that SSB NO. 1 Plc will operate in accordance with the predetermined operating procedures. These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Management Board on 10 April OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Since November, Ukraine has been in a political and economic turmoil. In February 2014, the Parliament of Ukraine voted for reinstatement of the 2004 Constitution and dismissal of the incumbent President. New presidential elections are scheduled for May 2014 and a transitional Government has been formed. In March 2014, Crimea, an autonomous republic of Ukraine, was effectively annexed by the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian Hryvnia devalued against major world currencies and significant external financing is required to maintain stability of the economy. The National Bank of Ukraine has introduced a range of stabilization measures aimed at limiting outflow of customer accounts from the banking system in Ukraine and providing liquidity to Ukraine s banks, including: Temporary restrictions on processing of client payments by banks, in particular, setting a minimum period of four banking days for purchases of foreign currency on behalf of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs; Temporary restrictions on purchases of foreign currency on the inter-bank market for early repayment by residents of foreign currency denominated non-residents loans; Restrictions on cash withdrawals (disbursements) via cash desks or ATMs in foreign currencies up to UAH 15 thousand per client per day and restrictions on clients foreign currency cash transfers; UAH sales in the Ukrainian inter-bank currency market should be conducted exclusively on tod, tom, or spot terms. Transactions without physical foreign currency supply are banned. In February 2014, Ukraine s sovereign rating has been downgraded to CCC with a negative outlook. During March 2014, the transitional government of Ukraine undertook a number of measures to stabilize the economy and finance, and reduce political and social tension. The government resumed negotiations with the International Monetary Fund mission on refinancing debts and granting stabilization loans and loans for reforming the economy and public administration. International organizations, the U.S. and the E.U., agreed to provide substantial financial support to restructure and support the Ukrainian economy. Stabilization of the economy depends to a large extent upon success of the Ukrainian government s efforts, yet further political developments are currently unpredictable. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( IFRIC ). 10

13 Other basis of presentation criteria These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Bank and companies controlled by the Bank (its subsidiary and special purpose entity) (collectively, the Group ) are going concerns. Management and the shareholder have the intention to further develop the Group s business. Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for the Group due to its sufficient capital adequacy ratio, the commitment of the shareholder to support the Group, and based on the historical experience which evidences that short-term obligations will be refinanced in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Ukrainian Hryvnias, unless otherwise indicated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain buildings and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The economy of Ukraine was treated as hyperinflationary until As a result, the Group applied IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. The impact of IAS 29 application relates to the fact that non-monetary items were recalculated to measuring units that were effective as at 2000 by using the respective inflation rates in respect of the relevant historical cost. The Bank and its subsidiary operating in Ukraine maintain their accounting records in accordance with the Ukrainian legislation, whereas the foreign special purpose entity maintains its accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the country of its business environment. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records maintained by the Bank, its subsidiary, and special purpose entity and have been adjusted to conform to IFRS. The adjustments introduced to the consolidated financial statements include certain reclassifications to reflect the economic substance of underlying transactions, including reclassifications of certain assets and liabilities, income and expenses to appropriate consolidated financial statement captions. 11

14 Functional currency Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Group (the functional currency ). The functional currency of these consolidated financial statements is Ukrainian Hryvnia ( UAH ). All amounts are rounded to thousands, unless otherwise indicated. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported net in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expense is not offset in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation, and as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Group. In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Group does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability. The principal accounting policies are set out below. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Bank and companies controlled by the Bank (its subsidiary and special purpose entity). Control is achieved where the Bank: Has power over the investee; Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Bank reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. When the Bank has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Bank considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Bank s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: The size of the Bank s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; Potential voting rights held by the Bank, other vote holders, or other parties; Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Bank has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Bank obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Bank loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Bank gains control until the date when the Bank ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Bank and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Bank and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group s accounting policies. 12

15 All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets of the subsidiary and special purpose entity not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Bank s shareholder. Non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the Parent s share capital. Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of the associate are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with IAS 39. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income by that associate would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. 13

16 The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture. There is no re-measurement to fair value upon such changes in ownership interests. When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. When a Group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group. Recognition of income and expense Recognition of interest income and expense Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written off (partly written off) as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is thereafter recognized using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest earned on assets at fair value is classified within interest income. Recognition of income on repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements Gain/loss on these instruments is recognized as interest income or expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income based on the difference between the repurchase price accreted to date using the effective interest rate method and the sale price when such instruments are sold to third parties. When the reverse repo or repo is fulfilled on its original terms, the effective yield/interest between the sale and repurchase price negotiated under the original contract is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Recognition of fee and commission income and expense Loan origination fees are deferred, together with the related direct costs, and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the loan. Where it is probable that a loan commitment will lead to a specific lending arrangement, the loan commitment fees are deferred, together with the related direct costs, and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the resulting loan. Where it is unlikely that a loan commitment will lead to a specific lending arrangement, the loan commitment fees are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the remaining period of the loan commitment. Where a loan commitment expires without resulting in a loan, the loan commitment fee is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on expiry. Loan servicing fees are recognized as revenue as the services are provided. Loan syndication fees are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the syndication has been completed. All other commissions are recognized when services are provided. 14

17 Other income and expenses are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the related transactions are completed and are presented on a net basis. Recognition and measurement of financial instruments The Group recognizes financial assets and liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual obligation of the instrument. Regular way purchase and sale of the financial assets and liabilities are recognized using settlement date accounting. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in consolidated profit or loss. The accounting policies for subsequent re-measurement of these items are disclosed in the respective accounting policies set out below. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when the it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognize a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in consolidated profit or loss. On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of the transferred asset or retains a residual interest that does not result in the retention of substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the Group retains control), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled, or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 15

18 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, unrestricted balances on correspondent accounts with the National Bank of Ukraine and other banks, advances to banks in the countries included in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) and other countries which may be converted to cash within a short period of time, except for guarantee deposits for operations with plastic cards. Obligatory deposit reserves with the National Bank of Ukraine Obligatory deposit reserves are placed with the NBU in accordance with the requirements of the effective legislation and are subject to certain restrictions. Hence, the amount of obligatory deposit reserves placed with the NBU is not included in cash equivalents. Precious metals Assets and liabilities denominated in precious metals are translated at the official rate set by the NBU computed based on the first fixing of the London Metal Exchange rates using the UAH/USD exchange rate effective at the date. Changes in the bid prices are recorded in net gain/(loss) on foreign exchange operations. Due from banks In the normal course of business, the Group maintains advances and deposits for various periods of time with other banks. Due from banks are initially measured at fair value. Due from banks with a fixed maturity term are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Those that do not have fixed maturities are carried at amortized cost based on maturities estimated by management. Amounts due from banks are carried net of any allowance for impairment losses. Loans to customers Loans to customers are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than those classified in other categories of financial assets. Loans to customers with fixed maturity granted by the Group are initially recognized at fair value, plus related transaction costs. Where the fair value of consideration given does not equal the fair value of the loan, for example, where the loan is issued at lower than market rates, the difference between the fair value of consideration given and the fair value of the loan is recognized as a loss on initial recognition of the loan and included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income according to the nature of losses. Subsequently, loans are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans to customers are carried net of any allowance for impairment losses. Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements In the normal course of business, the Group enters into sale and purchase back agreements ( repos ) and purchase and sale back agreements of financial assets ( reverse repos ). Repos and reverse repos are utilized by the Group as an element of its treasury management. A repo is an agreement to transfer a financial asset to another party in exchange for cash or other consideration and a concurrent obligation to reacquire the financial assets at a future date for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest. These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions. Financial assets sold under repo are retained in the consolidated financial statements and consideration received under these agreements is recorded as collateralized deposit/loan received within balances due to banks. Assets purchased under reverse repos are recorded in the consolidated financial statements as cash placed which is collateralized by securities and other assets and are classified within balances due from banks or loans to customers. The Group enters into securities repurchase agreements under which it receives or transfers collateral in accordance with normal market practice. Under standard terms for repurchase transactions in Ukraine, the recipient of collateral has the right to sell or re-pledge the collateral, subject to returning those securities on settlement of the transaction. In the event that assets purchased under reverse repo are sold to third parties, the results are recorded with the gain or loss included in net gains/(losses) on respective assets. Any related income or expense arising from the pricing difference between purchase and sale of the underlying assets is recognized as interest income or expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 16

19 Investments available for sale Investments available for sale represent debt and equity securities that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time. Such securities are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequently, the securities are measured at fair value, with such remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains or losses, and interest income accrued using the effective interest rate method, which are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When sold, gain/(loss) previously recorded in equity is recycled through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. A gain or loss on the sale of investments available for sale is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when disposed and is the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount at the transaction date. The Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value for the investments available for sale. If the market for investments is not active, the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. Valuation 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 other methods. If there is a valuation technique commonly used by market participants to price the instrument and that technique has been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of prices obtained in actual market transactions, the Group uses that technique. Non-marketable debt and equity securities are stated at amortized cost and cost, respectively, less impairment losses, if any, unless fair value can be reliably measured. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets or a group of financial assets are considered to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events ( loss events ) that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset and that loss events have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The impairment losses are measured as the difference between carrying value and the present value of expected future cash flows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted at the financial asset s original effective interest rate, for financial assets which are carried at amortized cost. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had if the impairment has not been recognized. For financial assets carried at cost, the allowance for impairment losses is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods. When there is objective evidence that financial assets available for sale have been impaired, the cumulative loss previously recognized in equity is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period. Reversals of such impairment losses on debt instruments, which are objectively related to events occurring after the impairment, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period. Reversals of such impairment losses on equity instruments are not recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The change in the allowance for impairment losses is included into financial results through the correction of the provision amount. Assets recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position are reduced by the amount of the allowance for impairment losses. 17
