9 1 Background a) Principal activities ING Bank (Eurasia) ZAO (the Bank ) was established in the Russian Federation as a jointstock company with limited liability in September 1993 and was granted its general banking license in March The principal activities of the Bank are deposit taking, commercial lending, operations with securities and foreign exchange, custodian and cash management services. The activities of the Bank are regulated by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation ( the CBR ). The Bank is part of the ING Group, an international financial group headquartered in Amsterdam and operating in over 50 countries. The registered address of the Bank s head office is 36, Krasnoproletarskaya st., , Moscow, Russian Federation. The majority of the Bank s assets and liabilities are located in the Russian Federation. The average number of persons employed by the Bank during the period was 321 (2006: 281). b) Russian business environment The Russian Federation has been experiencing political and economic change which has affected, and may continue to affect, the activities of enterprises operating in this environment. Consequently, operations in the Russian Federation involve risks, which do not typically exist in other markets. The accompanying financial statements reflect management s assessment of the impact of the Russian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Bank. The future business environment may differ from management s assessment. c) Economic dependence The Bank is 100% owned by ING Group. The activities of the Bank are coordinated by the requirements of the ING Group and determination of the pricing of the Bank s services to/from the ING Group is undertaken in conjunction with other ING Group companies. Related party transactions are detailed in note Basis of preparation a) Statement of compliance The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). 8

10 b) Basis of measurement The financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortized cost or historical cost. c) Functional and presentation currency The national currency of the Russian Federation is the Russian Rouble ( RUR ). Management have determined the Bank s functional currency to be the RUR as it reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of the Bank. The RUR was also selected to be the Bank s presentation currency for the purposes of these financial statements. Financial information presented in RUR has been rounded to the nearest thousand. d) Use of estimates and judgments Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with IFRS. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments made by Management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on these financial statements are described in Note 14 Loans to customers in relation to provision for loan impairment. 3 Significant accounting policies The following significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Changes in accounting policies are described in Note 3 (q). a) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. Income and expenses, and non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies, whose purchase price was denominated in foreign currency, are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. b) Cash and cash equivalents The Bank considers cash and nostro accounts to be cash and cash equivalents. The reserve deposits with the CBR are not considered to be a cash equivalent due to restrictions on their withdrawability. 9

11 c) Financial instruments (i) Classification Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets or liabilities that are: - acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term; - are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; - are a derivative (except for a derivative that is a designated and effective hedging instrument); or - are, upon initial recognition, designated by the Bank as at fair value through the profit or loss. The Bank designates financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss where either: - the assets or liabilities are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis; - the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise; or - the asset or liability contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required under the contract. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are not reclassified subsequent to initial recognition. All trading derivatives in a net receivable position (positive fair value), as well as options purchased, are reported as an asset. All trading derivatives in a net payable position (negative fair value), as well as options written, are reported as a liability. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than those that the Bank intends to sell immediately or in the near term, those that the Bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss, those that the Bank upon initial recognition designates as available-forsale, or those for which the Bank may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration. Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Bank has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than those that: - the Bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss; - the Bank designates as available-for-sale; or - meet the definition of loans and receivables. Available-for-sale assets are those financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Management determines the appropriate classification of financial instruments at the time of the initial recognition. 10

12 (ii) Recognition Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions on the instrument. All regular way purchases of financial assets are accounted for at the settlement date. (iii) Measurement A financial asset or liability is initially measured at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or liability. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets, including derivatives that are assets, are measured at their fair values, without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or other disposal, except for: - loans and receivables which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method; - held-to-maturity investments which are measured at amortized cost using the effective yield method; and - investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured which are measured at cost. All financial liabilities, other than those designated at fair through profit or loss and financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset carried at fair value does not qualify derecognition, are measured at amortised cost. Amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest rate method. Premiums and discounts, including initial transaction costs, are included in the carrying amount of the related instrument and amortised based on the effective interest rate of the instrument. (iv) Fair value measurement principles The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs. If a quoted market price is not available, the fair value of the instrument is estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow techniques. Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management s best estimates and the discount rate is a market related rate at the balance sheet date for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. Where pricing models are used, inputs are based on market related measures at the balance sheet date. The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange-traded is estimated at the amount that the Bank would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the balance sheet date taking into account current market conditions and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. (v) Gains and losses on subsequent measurement A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or liability is recognized as follows: - a gain or loss on a financial instrument classified as at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement; and - a gain or loss on an available-for-sale financial asset is recognized directly in equity through the statement of changes in shareholders equity (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses) until the asset is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognized in the income statement. Interest in relation to an available-for-sale financial asset is recognized as earned in the income statement calculated using the effective interest method. 11

13 For financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost, a gain or loss is recognized in the income statement when the financial asset or liability is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process. (vi) Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the Bank transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Any rights or obligations created or retained in the transfer are recognized separately as assets or liabilities. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished. d) Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements Securities sold under sale and repurchase ( repo ) agreements are accounted for as secured financing transactions, with the securities retained in the balance sheet and the counterparty liability included in amounts payable under repo transactions. The difference between the sale and repurchase price represents interest expense and is recognized in the income statement over the term of the repo agreement using the effective interest rate method. Securities purchased under agreements to resell ( reverse repo ) are recorded as amounts receivable under reverse repo transactions. The differences between the purchase and resale prices are treated as interest income and accrued over the term of the reverse repo agreement using the effective interest method. If securities purchased under agreement to resell are sold to third parties, the obligation to return them is recorded at fair value as a financial liability held for trading. e) Credit related commitments In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into credit related commitments, comprising undrawn loan commitments, letters of credit and guarantees, and provides other forms of credit insurance. Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Bank to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee liability is recognised initially at fair value net of associated transaction costs, and is measured subsequently at the higher of the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation or the amount of provision for losses under the guarantee. Provisions for losses under financial guarantees are recognised when losses are considered probable and can be measured reliably. Financial guarantee liabilities are included within other liabilities. f) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 12

14 g) Property and equipment ING Bank (Eurasia) ZAO (i) Owned asset Items of property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Where an item of property and equipment comprises major components having different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. (ii) Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Bank assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as financial leases. Equipment acquired by way of financial lease is stated at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Operating leases, in the terms of which the Bank does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are expensed. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Depreciation commences on the date when property and equipment are put into use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Office machines & equipment Data processing equipment Motor vehicles 5 years 3 years 5 years h) Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses. i) Other intangible assets (i) Intangible assets Intangible assets, which are acquired by the Bank, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. (ii) Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Computer software j) Impairment (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost 3 years Financial assets carried at amortized cost consist principally of loans and other receivables ( loans and receivables ). The Bank reviews its loans and receivables, to assess impairment on a regular basis. A loan or receivable is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan or receivable and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan that can be reliably estimated. 13

15 The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans and receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for loans and receivables that are not individually significant. If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed loan or receivable, whether significant or not, it includes the loan in a group of loans and receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Loans and receivables that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a loan or receivable has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the loan or receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral (excluding future losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the loan or receivable s original effective interest rate. Contractual cash flows and historical loss experience adjusted on the basis of relevant observable data that reflect current economic conditions provide the basis for estimating expected cash flows. In some cases the observable data required to estimate the amount of an impairment loss on a loan or receivable may be limited or no longer fully relevant to current circumstances. This may be the case when a borrower is in financial difficulties and there is little available historical data relating to similar borrowers. In such cases, the Bank uses its experience and judgment to estimate the amount of any impairment loss. All impairment losses in respect of loans and receivables are recognized in the income statement and are only reversed if a subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. (ii) Financial assets carried at cost Financial assets carried at cost include unquoted equity instruments included in available-forsale assets that are not carried at fair value because their fair value can not reliably measured. If there is objective evidence that such investments are impaired the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. All impairment losses in respect of these investments are recognized in the income statement and can not be reversed. (iii) Non financial assets Other non financial assets, other than deferred taxes, are assessed at each reporting date for any indications of impairment. The recoverable amount of non financial assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. All impairment losses in respect of non financial assets are recognized in the income statement and reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Any impairment loss reversed is only reversed to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 14

16 k) Provisions ING Bank (Eurasia) ZAO A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. l) Share capital (i) Share premium Share premium represents the excess of contributions received over the nominal value of shares issued. (ii) Dividends The ability of the Bank to declare and pay dividends is subject to the rules and regulations of the Russian legislation. Dividends in relation to ordinary shares are reflected as an appropriation of retained earnings calculated in accordance with Russian legislation as and when declared. (iii) Repurchase of share capital When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a decrease in equity. m) Taxation Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates where the parent is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences, unused tax losses and credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. n) Interest income and expense With the exception of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, interest income and expense are recognised in the consolidated statement of income using the effective interest method. Interest income on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss comprises coupon interest only. Accrued discounts and premiums on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in net securities trading income. 15

17 o) Fee and commission income ING Bank (Eurasia) ZAO Loan origination fees, loan servicing fees and other fees that are considered to be integral to the overall profitability of a loan, together with any related direct costs, are deferred and amortized to the interest income over the estimated live of the financial instrument using the effective interest rate method. Other fee and commission income is recognised when the corresponding service is provided. p) Net securities trading income Net securities trading income includes gains and losses arising from disposals and changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and gains and losses arising from disposals of available-for-sale assets. q) Changes in accounting policies As mentioned above the accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Bank, except for changes resulting from the amendments to IFRSs, as described below. As at 1 January 2007, the Bank adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and the amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Capital Disclosures. The application of the Standard and the amendment resulted in increased disclosure in respect of Bank s financial instruments and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and increased disclosure in respect of Bank s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. Application of the above amendments did not have an impact on income and retained earnings of the Bank. r) New Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted A number of new Standards, amendments to Standards and Interpretations are not yet effective as at 31 December 2007, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Of these pronouncements, potentially the following will have an impact on the Bank s operations. The Bank plans to adopt this pronouncement when it becomes effective. The Bank has not yet analysed the likely impact of this new standard on its financial statements. International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised), which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, specifies how an entity should present changes in equity not resulting from transactions with owners and other changes in equity in its financial statements, and introduces certain other requirements in respect of presentation of information in the financial statements. 16

In addition, the Bank historically has had no uncollectible loans. The Bank has therefore created collective provision for impairment for groups of loans with similar credit risk characteristics based on historical loss trends for these types of loans. 24
