There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year. 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of certain treasury instruments to market value and are expressed in Brunei Darussalam dollars. Group Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year December 31, 2007. The subsidiaries consolidated are entities in which the Group has an equity interest of more than 50% in the issued share capital at the balance sheet date or has power to exercise control over the operations. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is acquired by the Group. Inter company transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiary companies have been changed to ensure consistency with policies adopted by the Group. Goodwill Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Goodwill is amortised through the Group income statement over 10 years. Interest Income and Expense (i) Interest income and expenses are recognized in the profit and loss statements on an accrual basis. When an account becomes non-performing, interest is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis. (ii) For the finance subsidiary, interest earned on hire purchase and leasing transactions are spread over the period of the agreements, using the commonly accepted method known as the “Rule-of-78” so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest. The income arising therefrom each year comprises interest in respect of those installments which have become due for payment during the financial year. The remainder is carried forward as a provision for unearned income. Loans and Allowance for Bad and Doubtful Receivables All loans and financing are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers. Legal fees incurred in securing a loan and financing are treated as part of the cost of the transaction. Loans and financing are stated after deduction of allowance for possible losses. These allowances comprise specific allowances against non-performing receivables and financing and the related interest-in-suspense. Specific allowance and suspension of interest are made for doubtful receivables and financing which have been individually reviewed and specifically identified as a bad or doubtful. Known bad receivables are written off. An uncollectible loan and financing or portion of a loan and financing classified as bad or doubtful is either written off or provided for after taking into consideration the realizable value of collateral, if any, when in the judgement of the management there is no prospect of recovery. Baiduri Bank Annual Report 2007 25 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2007 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives by the straight line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:Freehold lands and buildings Leasehold lands and buildings Leasehold improvements Computers Office equipment Office furniture and fittings Household furniture and equipment Motor vehicles 50 years Over period of the lease 5 years 5 – 8 years 5 years 5 – 10 years 5 – 10 years 5 years Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their net book value and are taken into account in determining operating profit. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss statements when the expenditure is incurred. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use. Investments (i) Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries in the Company’s financial statements are stated at cost less amounts written off in recognition of any permanent fall in value. Dividend income is recorded in the profit and loss statements in the financial year in which a dividend has been approved by the shareholders in the investee company. (ii) Other investments Quoted and unquoted investments intended to be held for long term are stated at cost less impairment in value that is other than temporary, determined on an individual investment basis. Interest earned on other investment is reported as interest income. Treasury Related Off-Balance Sheet Financing Instruments Transactions in treasury related off-balance sheet financial instruments including foreign exchange contracts are valued at market prices if they are for trading purposes and the resultant profits and losses are taken to the profit and loss statements. Transaction entered into for hedging purposes are accounted for in a manner consistent with the accounting treatment of the item being hedged. 26 Baiduri Bank Annual Report 2007 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2007 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Acceptances Acceptances comprise undertakings by the Company to pay bills of exchange drawn on customers. The Company expec t s the acceptance to be set tled simultaneously with the reimbursement from the customers. Acceptances are disclosed liabilities with corresponding contra-assets. Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Brunei Darussalam dollars at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary balances that are denominated in foreign currencies are reported at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. All realised and unrealised exchange adjustment gains and losses are dealt with in the profit and loss statements. Income Tax Tax expense is determined on the basis of tax effect accounting, using the liability method and it is applied to all significant timing differences except that a debit balance or a debit to the deferred tax balance is not carried forward unless there is a reasonable expectation of its realisation. Employee Benefits The Company and the Group contribute to the Tabung Amanah Pekerja (“TAP”), a defined contribution plan regulated and managed by the Government of Brunei Darussalam, which applies to all local employees. The contributions to TAP are charged to the income statements in the period to which the contribution relate. The Company also operates a defined retirement fund scheme for its employees, which requires provisions to be made periodically based on the entitlements of the employees. The provisions are calculated on the basis of the number of years service of the employees and are charged to the income statements in the period in which the entitlements arise. 3 RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS Related parties in these financial statements refer to members of the holding company’s group of companies. Some of the Company’s transactions and arrangements are with related parties and subsidiary companies and the effect of these on the basis determined between the parties are reflected in these financial statements.

The Board of Directors are accountable for establishing and maintaining an environment that manages risk in an effective and efficient manner. This includes a robust system of limits, controls and reporting processes. Management and senior executives track key performance indicators, investigates and reports on effectiveness of risk management systems to the Board of Directors. The Group’s internal audit department also provide an independent assessment of this process. The following discussion on risk management concentrates on the Group’s main areas of risk: (i) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss that results from customers failing to meet their obligations. Credit risk arises primarily from lending-related activities and represents Group’s major risk type. The Board of Directors approves major prudential policies and limits that govern large customer exposures and industry concentration. The Board of Directors also appoints independent credit officers in each business areas. These credit officers would work with the line managers to ensure that approved policies are applied appropriately and achieve optimal returns on the Group’s risk exposure. In respect of its lending-related activities, management regularly review the amount of risk accepted in related to one borrower or groups of borrowers, industry segments, level of non-performing loans and adequacy of provisioning requirements. Exposure to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining collateral. Some of the assets typically included as collateral are property, assignment of rental income, salary and deposit placement. 38 Baiduri Bank Annual Report 2007 Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2007 26 RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) (ii) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its cashflow obligations as and when they fall due. To manage the risk, the Group monitors and maintains sufficient liquid assets to ensure that the liquidity risk exposure is managed and minimised. Additionally, the Group has to comply with the regulations and guidelines of Ministry of Finance in maintaining minimum cash balances with the Ministry of Finance. (iii) Interest/Financing Rate Risk Interest/financing rate risk is the risk of earnings and value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in interest/financing rates. Sensitivity to interest/financing rates arises from the differences in the maturities and re-pricing dates of assets and liabilities. These differences are monitored and managed by management to ensure that the risk exposure is minimised. This includes actively reviewing its interest/financing rate to ensure that the Group receives an optimal and yet competitive interest/financing spread. 27 COMPARATIVES Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
