CARTA DEL CHAIRMAN Y DEL PRESIDENTE
A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT
Estimados Accionistas, Clientes y Amigos:
To our Shareholders, Customers and Valued Friends:
Durante el año 2007, el Grupo BAC I Credomatic
experimentó el mayor crecimiento de toda su
historia.
Grupo BAC I Credomatic’s growth in 2007 was the
strongest in its entire history.
Producto de ese crecimiento en los activos, las
utilidades del Banco aumentaron más de 50% para
superar la suma de US $183 millones.
La cartera total del Banco creció 62% (US $1.7 billones)
alcanzando la suma de US $4.5 billones al cierre
del año 2007. El 30% de esa cartera correspondió a
préstamos corporativos, comerciales y a PyMEs. El
23% correspondió a créditos hipotecarios y el 26% a
préstamos a través de las tarjetas de crédito.
Los depósitos de nuestros clientes fueron la principal
fuente de financiamiento del crecimiento de cartera.
Crecieron más de US $1.3 billones en el año, lo que
refleja el nivel de confianza que tienen los clientes en
nuestro Banco.
Al cierre del 2007, las cuentas corrientes representaban
el 40% de nuestros depósitos; las cuentas de ahorro el
17% y los depósitos a plazo el 43%.
Las líneas de crédito de la banca internacional y
otras fuentes de fondos provenientes del mercado
internacional aportaron más de US $550 millones
para financiar nuestro crecimiento del año 2007 y
alcanzaron una suma superior a US $1.1 billones. Esto
a su vez refleja el grado de reconocimiento y confianza
que tiene nuestra organización a nivel internacional.
Sin duda alguna, el grado de inversión que Standard
& Poor’s otorga a la organización BAC | Credomatic
The Bank’s total assets rose by more than 53% to a total
of US $6.5 billion, of which 32% came from organic
growth and 21% from the acquisitions of BAMER in
Honduras, PROPEMI in El Salvador and Financiera
Miravalles in Costa Rica.
Thanks to these expanding assets, the Bank increased
its earnings by more than 50% to over US $183 million.
The Bank’s overall portfolio grew by 62%
(US $1.7 billion) to US $4.5 billion at the 2007 closing,
of which 30% was attributed to corporate, commercial
and SME loans. Mortgage loans accounted for 23%,
while 26% came from credit card loans.
Our primary source of funding for this portfolio
expansion was customer deposits, which climbed by
more than US $1.3 billion over the year, reflecting the
strong confidence our customers have in our Bank.
At the 2007 closing, current accounts accounted for
40% of our deposits, savings accounts for 17% and term
deposits for 43%.
Credit lines at international banks, in addition to other
international funding sources, contributed more than
US $550 million toward financing our 2007 growth,
reaching over US $1.1 billion. This, in turn, shows
the high degree of recognition and confidence our
organization enjoys internationally.
Setting us apart, undoubtedly, is the investmentgrade rating granted by Standard & Poor’s to BAC |
Credomatic; our risk rating is higher than the sovereign
risk of any of the countries in which we do business.
As we entered 2008, the international scenario was
somewhat uncertain. The mortgage crisis, along with
Los activos totales del Banco crecieron más de 53%
alcanzando un total de US $6.5 billones. Un 32%
correspondió a crecimiento orgánico y un 21% a las
adquisiciones de BAMER en Honduras, PROPEMI en El
Salvador y Financiera Miravalles en Costa Rica.

es un elemento que nos distingue al gozar de una
calificación de riesgo superior al riesgo soberano de
cualquiera de los países donde tenemos operaciones.
rising oil, raw material and food prices, has upset or
thrown off the historical performance of traditional
global systems’ primary regulating variables.
Llegamos al año 2008 en un escenario internacional
incierto. La crisis hipotecaria, los aumentos de los
precios del petróleo, de las materias primas y de
los alimentos, ha generado una discontinuidad o
dislocamiento en el comportamiento histórico de
las principales variables reguladoras de los sistemas
globales tradicionales.
New rules of the game have been introduced to
everything transpiring locally, regionally and globally
– and, without a doubt, especially to our banking
activities.
Estos acontecimientos introducen nuevas reglas del
juego en todo el acontecer mundial, regional y local,
y sin duda alguna en nuestras actividades bancarias
en particular.
Ahora más que nunca debe prevalecer la cautela en
el manejo de nuestros negocios; debemos estar muy
alertas sobre el impacto que pueda tener en nuestras
actividades todo el acontecer mundial.
Esperamos que nuestros clientes y amigos estén
viendo sus negocios y actividades con la misma
seriedad y atención con la que nosotros estamos
viendo el nuestro. Pensamos que la situación actual
lo amerita.
Now, more than ever, we should exercise caution in
our business dealings; we should be highly alert to the
impact world events could have on our activities.
We hope our customers and friends are applying the
same seriousness and care to their businesses and
activities as we are with ours. We feel the current
situation merits no less.
Meanwhile, we will carry on with our tradition. We will
continue growing, innovating and seeking out better
products and services for our customers, that they may
always continue to prefer doing business with us.
We are certain that, with God’s help and your support,
we will succeed.
Mientras tanto, nosotros continuaremos con nuestra
tradición: seguiremos creciendo, innovando y
buscando mejores productos y servicios para nuestros
clientes, con la finalidad de seguir gozando de su
preferencia siempre.
Estamos seguros de que con la ayuda de Dios y con el
apoyo de todos Ustedes lo lograremos.

3.2 History
The BAC | Credomatic Group was founded in 1952 with
the establishment of the Banco de America in Nicaragua
and the later inauguration of Credomatic Nicaragua in
1974. Credomatic Nicaragua started off by launching a
local credit card called “Cred-o-matic”.
During 1973, the Group acquired the Master Charge
franchise (currently MasterCard), and in 1977 it obtained
a license to issue Visa credit cards in Central America.
En la década de los setentas Credomatic El Salvador,
Credomatic Costa Rica, Credomatic Guatemala
y Credomatic Honduras iniciaron operaciones
emitiendo tarjetas de crédito bajo las marcas Master
Card, Visa y Diners Club.
El Grupo BAC | Credomatic se enfocó exclusivamente
en el negocio de tarjetas de crédito hasta 1985,
cuando en conjunto con un grupo de socios locales,
adquirió la operación de Bank of America en Costa
Rica. Desde entonces, ha desarrollado un conjunto de
servicios financieros y bancarios complementarios a
la operación de tarjetas de crédito.
En 1995, BAC | Credomatic obtuvo licencia bancaria
en Panamá, entidad que inició operaciones en el año
1996.
En ese mismo año el Grupo BAC | Credomatic obtuvo
una licencia exclusiva para emitir tarjetas de crédito
American Express en la región de Centroamérica.
En 1997 obtuvo las licencias de banca para iniciar
operaciones en Guatemala con Banco de América
Central, en Honduras con Banco Credomatic
(actualmente denominado Banco BAC-Bamer) y
en El Salvador con Banco Credomatic El Salvador
(actualmente denominado Banco de América Central
El Salvador). Así, junto con los bancos existentes
en Costa Rica, Nicaragua y Panamá, logró la meta
estratégica de tener presencia en cada país de
Centroamérica.
En 2001, alcanza el grado de inversión BBB- por parte
de la calificadora Standard & Poors.
Como parte de la estrategia de crecimiento y
expansión, BAC | Credomatic se decide a incursionar
en el mercado de tarjetas de crédito en Panamá en el
2001 y en México en el 2004.
Durante el año 2005, el Grupo BAC | Credomatic llevó
a cabo una alianza estratégica con GE, en virtud de la
cual, su subsidiaria GE Consumer Finance, adquirió
During the seventies, Credomatic El Salvador,
Credomatic Costa Rica, Credomatic Guatemala and
Credomatic Honduras all kicked off by issuing credit
cards under the MasterCard, Visa and Diners Club
brands.
The BAC | Credomatic Group focused exclusively on the
credit card business until 1985, when, together with
a group of local Costa Rican partners, it acquired the
Costa Rican operations of Bank of America. Since then
has developed complementary financial and banking
services for its credit card operations.
In 1995, the BAC | Credomatic Group obtained a banking
license in Panama, opening a bank there in 1996.
In this year the BAC | Credomatic Group obtained
an exclusive license to issue American Express credit
cards everywhere in the Central America region except
Panama.
In 1997, the Group obtained banking licenses to start
operations in Guatemala with Banco de America
Central, in Honduras with Banco Credomatic (currently
known as BAC-BAMER), and in El Salvador with Banco
Credomatic El Salvador (currently known as Banco de
America Central El Salvador). By adding these to its
existing banks in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama
it successfully met its strategic goal of establishing a
physical presence in every Central American country.
During 2001, the Group earned an investment rating
by Standard & Poors (BBB-).
As part of its growth and expansion strategy, the
Group decided to enter the credit card business, first, in
Panama in 2001, and then in Mexico in 2004.
In 2005, the Group entered into a strategic partnership
with GE whereby GE’s subsidiary, GE Consumer Finance,
acquired 49.99% of BAC | Credomatic GECF, Inc., a
holding company that indirectly has full control over
BAC International Bank.
During 2006, the Group’s Standard & Poors credit
rating was raised to BBB as a result of its financial
ratios and GE Money backing.
En 1973, el Grupo adquirió la franquicia Master Charge
(actualmente MasterCard) y en 1977, obtuvo la licencia
para emitir tarjetas de crédito Visa en la región de
Centroamérica.

Legal y Regulación
Legal and Regulations
En su calidad de banco, es regulado por la
Superintendencia de Bancos de Panamá, la cual emite
normativa prudencial, en áreas tales como capital,
liquidez, crédito a empresas relacionadas, entre
otras. Los Bancos panameños de licencia general
están sujetos a una inspección al menos cada dos
años por parte de la Superintendencia de Bancos y a
la presentación y publicación de informes y estados
financieros en forma periódica.
La Ley Bancaria de Panamá adoptó las recomendaciones de Basilea en el área de supervisión
consolidada, y por esta razón la Superintendencia
de Bancos de Panamá realiza inspecciones a las
subsidiarias del Grupo en el resto de los países y
amparada en acuerdos de entendimiento, coordina
las actividades de supervisión con los reguladores
en cada uno de los países. Adicionalmente existen
límites e indicadores que se verifican de una forma
consolidada, ejemplos de esto son el requerimiento
de capital y los límites a empresas relacionadas.
Por otra parte las subsidiarias bancarias, de corretaje
y de administración de portafolios por cuenta de
terceros, se encuentran reguladas por las autoridades
correspondientes en cada uno de los países donde
opera el Grupo. Estas empresas se encuentran sujetas
a regulaciones relacionadas con capital, crédito a
personas y empresas relacionadas, liquidez, prácticas
contables, constitución de estimaciones y reservas,
manejo de riesgos, entre otras.
Our holding company, BAC International Bank Inc.,
is a Panama-based bank operating under a general
banking license that allows it to offer services and to
capture both international and Panamanian funds.
BAC International Bank is under the supervision of the
Superintendence of Banks of the Republic of Panama,
which issues prudential regulations on capital, liquidity,
credit to related companies, and other aspects.
All Panamanian banks with a general license are
subject to inspection by the Superintendence of Banks
at least every two years, and are required to submit
and publish financial statements regularly.
Banking law in Panama follows the Basel Committee
recommendations for consolidated supervision;
therefore, the Superintendence of Banks reviews the
Group’s subsidiaries in other countries, and backed by
agreements of understanding coordinates oversight
with the other countries’ regulators. Additionally, limits
and ratios – such as capital requirements and limits for
related companies – are reviewed on a consolidated
basis.
Also, the other banking, brokerage and third-party
portfolio management subsidiaries are regulated by
the corresponding authorities of each country in which
they operate. These entities are subject to regulations
on capital, credit limits for related companies, liquidity,
accounting practices, reserve requirements and risk
management, among others.

Administración de Riesgo
Risk Management
8.1 Riesgo de crédito
8.1 Credit Risk Management
El Grupo cuenta con estrictas políticas de control y
administración del riesgo de crédito, las cuales son
establecidas y su cumplimiento verificado en el Comité
de Crédito Regional, un comité de la Junta Directiva
del Grupo.
The Group has strict control and credit risk management
policies, which are established and overseen by the
Regional Credit Committee, a Board of Directors
committee.
El Comité de Crédito está compuesto por personas
de amplia trayectoria en la administración del riesgo
de crédito y que cuentan con amplia experiencia,
incluyendo periodos de crisis, en donde eventos
políticos, económicos y naturales han demostrado la
solidez de nuestras políticas.
Como apoyo al Comité de Crédito existe una Dirección
Regional de Cartera, que monitorea, define criterios y
estandariza prácticas en todas la empresas del Grupo
y que tiene una participación activa en el análisis y
ejecución de proyectos o prospectos de negocios que
implican riesgo de crédito.
- 23 -
Por otra parte, en cada una de las empresas del Grupo
que llevan a cabo actividades crediticias, se cuenta con
una estructura de análisis independiente de las áreas
de negocios, y que sigue los principios básicos de la
prudente administración del riesgo de crédito, que se
han probado a lo largo de muchos años, con apoyo de
nuevas herramientas tecnológicas permiten realizar
su labor de una forma más eficiente.
Entre las sanas prácticas que el Grupo realiza a nivel
de riesgo de crédito se encuentran:
• Definición de estrategias de crecimiento de acuerdo
al riesgo país.
• Revisión frecuente de la situación política, social y
económica, tanto de los países donde operamos como
a nivel internacional.
• Análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos de industrias,
The Credit Committee is composed of persons with broad
experience and expertise in credit risk management,
even in periods of economic crisis, when political,
economic or natural events have tested the strength of
our policies.
To support the Credit Risk Committee we have a Regional
Portfolio Management Department that monitors,
defines criteria and standardizes practices in all of the
Group’s entities. It also actively participates in analyzing
and executing business projects or prospectuses with
credit risk.
Each Group entity that works with credit also has an
internal credit risk analysis structure independent of
the business area. This structure follows basic, timetested principles of prudent credit risk management,
supported by innovative technological tools enabling it
to work more efficiently.
The Group’s credit risk management practices include
the following:
• Definition of growth strategies according to country
risk.
• Frequent review of the political, social and economic
situation of the countries we operate in and the
international scene.
• Qualitative and quantitative analysis of industries,
sectors and segments, used for managing our portfolio
distribution, and reaching decisions such as whether to
enter or leave a specific market sector or segment.
sectores y segmentos, que se utilizan para administrar
la participación de cada uno en nuestro portafolio, y
como herramienta para tomar decisiones tales como
entrar o salir de un determinado sector o segmento
de mercado.
El Grupo monitorea la calidad de nuestro portafolio
de crédito y mantiene una reserva de préstamos que
es suficiente para absorber las pérdidas probables
inherentes en nuestro portafolio de crédito.
Considerando el crecimiento de nuestro portafolio de
préstamos por aproximadamente 62%, mantuvimos
nuestra cobertura de reserva para pérdidas en
préstamos al 2.7%, un aumento de 13% en comparación
con el año terminado el 31 de diciembre del 2006.
Los préstamos en estado de no acumulación y
deteriorados representan el 1.8% y 1.4% del total de
nuestro portafolio de préstamos al cierre del período
2007 y 2006, respectivamente.
Las estrictas políticas de riesgo de crédito y la
mezcla adecuada de negocios han contribuido a
mantener buenas razones de calidad de activos. El
Grupo mantiene una razón de activos promedios nogeneradores menor al 1.5% en los últimos tres años
y reservas de pérdidas en préstamos de menos de
3.0%. Los castigos netos promedios han sido menores
al 1.50% en los últimos dos años y la provisión para
pérdidas en préstamos de menos de 1.90% en el
mismo periodo.
The group monitors our credit portfolio quality and
maintains a sufficiently large loan-loss allowance to
cover likely inherent credit portfolio losses.
Considering the loan portfolio has grown approximately
62%, we have maintained our loan-loss allowance at
2.7%, a 13% rise over December 31, 2006. Non-accrual
loans and impaired loans represent 1.8% and 1.4% of
our total loan portfolio at the December 31 close for
2007 and 2006, respectively.
Our strict credit risk management policies and
appropriate business mix have helped to maintain
the quality of our assets. The Group’s nonperforming
average asset ratio has been under 1.5% for the past
three years, and our loan-loss allowance has been under
3.0%. Net average charge-offs have been less than 1.5%
over the last two years, and the provision for loan losses
has been under 1.9% during the last two years.
8.2 Market Risk
The Investment Policy goal is to control the risk
associated with the Group’s investments, which are
used as instruments to manage liquidity; the criteria
for these investments, therefore, are conservative with
respect to terms and credit risk.
The policy defines country risk and issuer risk limits;
compliance is continually monitored using a software.
El Grupo BAC | Credomatic cuenta con políticas y
mecanismos de administración de riesgos de mercado.
La Política de Inversiones tiene como objetivo controlar el
riesgo asociado a las inversiones que realiza el banco, las
cuales son un instrumento para administrar la liquidez y
por lo tanto se manejan con criterios conservadores en
cuanto a plazo y riesgo de crédito.
En dicha política se definen los límites de riesgo país y
riesgo emisor y su cumplimiento se verifica en forma
permanente a través de una herramienta informática.
8.2 Riesgo de Mercado
- 24 -
Adicionalmente se definen las atribuciones para
aprobar nuevos límites de riesgo país, emisor y
emisión. En general los límites de riesgo país y emisor
son aprobados por el ALICO Regional (Comité de
Activos y Pasivos por sus siglas en inglés), el cual está
conformado por directores de la Junta Directiva del
Grupo BAC | Credomatic.
The attributes for approving new country risk limits,
issues or issuance are also given; in general terms, country
and issuer risk limits are approved by the Regional ALICO
Committee (Asset and Liability Committee), which is
composed of members of the Group’s Board.

tiene como objetivo controlar los riesgos de mercado

- 25 -
El riesgo de liquidez se monitorea a través de
dos formas: la primera consiste en el cálculo de
una posición de liquidez neta de obligaciones y
requerimientos, y la segunda es mediante el análisis
de los calces de plazos, donde se asignan los activos y
pasivos según su vencimiento y se definen límites para
los descalces acumulados a 6 y 12 meses para indicar
qué proporción de los recursos captados a corto plazo
que se pueden colocar en activos de largo plazo.
El riesgo de tasas de interés se controla a nivel del
balance (duración de activos y pasivos) y a nivel de
la cartera de inversiones (duración modificada de los
instrumentos en el portafolio). En ambos casos se
The Asset and Liability Management Policy objective is
to control market and liquidity risks.
The liquidity risk is controlled in two ways. The first
consists of calculating the liquidity position, net of
obligations and requirements.
The second is by using maturity gap analysis whereby
assets and liabilities are aggregated by maturity and
limits are defined for the accumulated gaps at 6 to 12
months; these limits determine the amount of shortterm deposits that could be placed at longer terms.
The interest rate risk is controlled at the balance sheet
level (assets and liabilities duration) as well as the
investment portfolio level (modified duration of the
investment portfolio); in both scenarios a sensitivity
analysis is made for a change of 1% in US dollar rates
El riesgo cambiario es controlado manteniendo una
posición ajustada en dólares americanos (activos en
dólares menos pasivos en dólares más activos fijos
y otros activos no monetarios) como porcentaje del
patrimonio de cada país. De esta manera se protege
el patrimonio ante potenciales devaluaciones de las
monedas de los países donde opera el Grupo BAC |
Credomatic.
El cumplimiento de las políticas es monitoreado
por la Dirección Regional Financiera y es reportado
a los Comités de Activos y Pasivos de cada país, al
ALICO Regional y a la Junta Directiva del Grupo. En
caso de que alguna exposición sobrepase los límites
aprobados, los responsables deben brindar una
explicación ante dichas instancias y crear un plan de
acción para corregir la situación en el menor tiempo
posible.
8.3 Riesgo operativo
La gestión de riesgos operativos de BAC|Credomatic
Network se realiza mediante una metodología
conceptual que sigue los lineamientos de Basilea II
e incorpora además algunos elementos del esquema
de administración integral de riesgos de COSO
(Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission), la cual es una organización
dedicada a mejorar la calidad de los reportes
financieros a través de la ética en los negocios,
controles internos efectivos, gobierno corporativo,
entre otros y que además ha emitido estándares
en diversas áreas incluyendo la gestión de riesgos
operativos.
Nuestros sistema de gestión es un proceso continuo
de administración descentralizada del riesgo en varias
‘etapas’:
• Gestión de ambiente de control (medición y
corrección de brechas).

America. There is a maximum exposure limit measured
as a percentage of the net income for that period.
The foreign exchange risk is controlled by maintaining
an adjusted position in US dollars (USD assets – USD
liabilities + fixed assets and other non-monetary
assets) as a percentage of the stockholders’ equity in
each country. The stockholders’ equity is protected
from potencial devaluations in the countries the Group
operates in.
Policy compliance is verified by the Regional Finance
Division and is reported to both the countries’ Assets
and Liabilities Committees and the Regional ALICO
and Group Board of Directors. If exposure exceeds the
approved limits, those responsible must provide an
explanation to the committees and develop an action
plan to correct the situation as quickly as possible.
8.3 Operating Risk
The Group manages operating risk using a conceptual
methodology that follows Basel II guidelines and
incorporates certain elements of the COSO risk
management conceptual framework. The Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) is an organization dedicated to improving the
quality of financial reporting through business ethics,
effective internal controls and corporate governance;
it has issued standards in different areas, including
operational risks.
Our management system is a continuous process of
decentralized risk management in various “phases”:
• Control environment (measurement and resolution
of gaps).
• Risk identification and assessment.
• Risk mitigation (implementation of controls, only in
cases where risks exceed acceptable levels).
• Risk monitoring (checking on risk indicators).
• Risk measurement (incident collecting and capital
modeling).
calcula un factor de sensibilidad ante un cambio de 1%
en las tasas de interés en dólares y 2% para las tasas en
monedas locales para cada banco en Centroamérica.
Existe un límite máximo para esta exposición medida
como un porcentaje de las utilidades presupuestadas
para el año.
- 26 -
• Identificación y evaluación de riesgos.
• Control effectiveness testing.
• Mitigación de riesgos (implementación de controles;
solo se hace en los casos en que los riesgos superan un
límite de aceptación).
This methodology provides various benefits:
• Monitoreo de riesgos (seguimiento de indicadores
de riesgo).
• Medición de riesgos (recolección de incidentes y
modelación de capital).
• Pruebas de efectividad de controles.
Esta metodología genera varios beneficios:
• Permite un trato conceptual homogéneo de los
riesgos operativos de todos los productos por variados
que éstos sean, lo que sirve de base para priorizar.
• Promueve un uso eficiente y efectivo de los recursos:
se invierte más en controlar los riesgos mayores.
• Mejora la comprensión y propiedad de los riesgos por
parte de cada unidad operativa o de negocios: permite
un reconocimiento más oportuno de los problemas
(pues hay un proceso continuo de retroalimentación),
incentiva a los gerentes a mejorar el control de los
riesgos (son los dueños y responsables de los riesgos)
y eventualmente la información de pérdidas servirá
de base para análisis de costo/beneficio de nuevos
controles.
- 27 -
El proceso de gestión de riesgos se encuentra en
distintas etapas de madurez en la región; se espera
lograr un nivel homogéneo entre todos los países
durante 2008.
• Allows for homogenous conceptual treatment of
operating risk for all products regardless of their
differences, providing a basis for setting priorities.
• Promotes efficient and effective use of resources; more
investment allocated to higher risk.
• Improves risk understanding and ownership by
each operating or business unit; allows for prompt
identification of problems (since there is a continuous
feedback process), encourages managers to improve
risk control (they own and are responsible for risks); and
eventually the loss information will serve as a basis for
a cost/benefit analysis of new controls.
Risk management is at various stages of implementation
throughout the region; we expect to achieve
homogeneous implementation in all countries during
2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
(1) Organization
BAC International Bank, Inc. was incorporated on August 25, 1995, in Panama City, Republic of
Panama, as a banking institution. BAC International Bank, Inc. is a 100% owned subsidiary of BAC
International Corporation (the “Parent Company”, which is an indirect subsidiary of BAC Credomatic
Holding Company, Ltd.) and provides, directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, BAC
International Bank (Grand Cayman) (“BAC Cayman”), Credomatic International Corporation
(CIC), Premier Asset Management, Inc., Rudas Hill Financial, Inc., BAC Valores (Panama), S. A. and
BAC Leasing, Inc. (collectively the “Bank”), a wide variety of financial services to individuals and
institutions, principally in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Panama. Credit card operations are carried out through CIC and its subsidiaries.
The banking operations in Panama are subject to regulatory requirements of the Superintendency
of Banks of the Republic of Panama, pursuant to decree No.9 of February 26, 1998 and other
regulatory standards.
These consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank and its subsidiaries are in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and they conform to general practices
within the industry. The following is a description of significant policies and practices:
(a) Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BAC International Bank, Inc.
and all majority owned subsidiaries. In consolidation all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated. Investments in companies in which the percentage of ownership is
at least 20%, but not more than 50%, are accounted for under the equity method and the pro rata
share of their income (loss) is included in other income. Investments in companies with less than
20% ownership are accounted for under the cost method; income is recognized when dividends
are received.
(b) Use of Estimates
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 consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
- 35 -
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, certain securities, and term interestbearing deposits with original maturities of three months or less.
(d) Securities Purchased and Sold Agreements
Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements
are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount
at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. It is the Bank’s policy to take
possession of securities purchased under resale agreements. The Bank monitors the market value
of securities purchased and sold and obtains collateral from or returns it to counterparties when
appropriate.
(e) Securities
Securities that are held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities
and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Debt securities that
management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to
maturity and recorded at amortized cost. All other securities are classified as available for sale and
recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, if any, on
available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss).
Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis and
determined on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses are included in other
income as securities gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income.
Premiums and discounts are recognized as an adjustment to yield over the contractual term of
the security using a method that approximates the interest method. If a prepayment occurs on a
security, any related premium or discount is recognized as an adjustment to yield in the period in
which the prepayment occurs. Interest on securities is recognized in interest income on an accrual
basis.
The Bank makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic
circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired on
another-than-temporary basis. The Bank considers many factors including the severity and
duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Bank to hold the security for a period
of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for
debt securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an
unrealized loss that is deemed to be other than-temporary are written down to fair value with the
write-down recorded as a realized loss in securities gains (losses).
(f) Loans Held for Sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at lower of cost or
estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income.
A loan is considered to be impaired when based on current information, it is probable the Bank
will not receive all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan agreement.
The fair value is measured based on either the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is also considered impaired if its terms
are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. When the ultimate collectibility of the principal
balance of an impaired loan is in doubt, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded
principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any
amounts previously charged off, and then to interest income to the extent any interest has been
forgone.
Restructured loans are loans for which the original contractual terms have been modified to
provide for terms that are less than those the Bank would be willing to accept for new loans with
comparable risk because of deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. Interest on these
loans is accrued at the renegotiated rates.
(g) Loans
Loans are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unearned income,
when applicable. Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees
and direct costs as well as premiums and discounts are amortized as an adjustment to yield over
the term of the loan. Loans include direct financing leases that are recorded at the aggregate of
future lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased property, less
unearned income.
- 36 -
The Bank’s policy is to discontinue accrual of interest either when reasonable doubt exists as to
the full, timely collection of interest or principal, or when a loan becomes 90 days or more past
due as to principal or interest. Credit card receivables that become 120 days past due or assigned
to legal status are placed on non accrual status. The accrued and unpaid interest is reversed
against interest income and, thereafter, the loan is accounted for on the cash method until it
qualifies for return to accrual. When borrowers demonstrate over an extended period the ability
to repay a loan in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan classified as non accrual, the
loan is returned to accrual status. The Bank charges off loans when collectibility of principal is
not probable.
(h) Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments
The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments represent the
amounts, which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb inherent losses of
the existing loan portfolio and unfunded commercial lending commitments, respectively, at
balance sheet date. The Bank has developed policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments that reflect
the assessment of credit risk considering all available information. Where appropriate, this
assessment includes monitoring qualitative and quantitative trends including changes in the
levels of past due, criticized and nonperforming loans. In developing this assessment, the Bank
must rely on estimates and exercise judgment in assessing credit risk. Depending on changes
in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results from
the estimates, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses or
reserve for unfunded lending commitments. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are based
on several factors which include, but are not limited to, analytical review of loan loss experience
in relation to outstanding loans, a continuing review of problem or non performing loans, overall
portfolio quality and adequacy of collateral, results of regulatory examinations, evaluation of
independent appraisals, and management’s judgment with respect to the impact of current
economic conditions on the existing loan portfolio.
- 37 -
The allowance on certain homogeneous loan portfolios is based on aggregated portfolio segment
evaluations generally by product type. Loss forecast models are utilized for these segments which
consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to, historical loss experience, estimated
defaults or foreclosures based on portfolio trends, delinquencies, economic conditions and
credit scores. The consumer loss forecast models are updated at least on a quarterly basis in
order to incorporate information reflective of the current economic environment. The remaining
commercial portfolios are reviewed on an individual loan basis. Loans subject to individual
reviews are analyzed and segregated by risk according to the Bank’s internal risk rating scale.
These risk classifications, in conjunction with an analysis of current economic conditions, industry
performance trends, and any other pertinent information (including individual valuations on
nonperforming loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan” (SFAS 114)) result in the estimation of the allowance for loan losses. The historical loss
experience is updated at least quarterly to incorporate the most recent data reflective of the
current economic environment.
In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Bank also estimates probable losses related to
unfunded lending commitments, such as letters of credit and financial guarantees, and binding
unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded lending commitments are subject to individual reviews
and are analyzed and segregated by risk according to the Bank’s internal risk rating scale. These
risk classifications, in conjunction with an analysis of current economic conditions, performance
trends and any other pertinent information, result in the estimation of the reserve for unfunded
lending commitments.
The allowance for loan losses related to the loan portfolio, and the reserve for unfunded lending
commitments are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in the allowance for loan losses,
and other liabilities, respectively. Provision for loan losses related to the loan portfolio and
unfunded lending commitments are reported in the consolidated statement of income in the
provision for loan losses and other operating expenses, respectively.
(i) Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loans foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded
at the lower of its cost or fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new
cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and
the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and
expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance of those assets are included in
other operating expenses.
(j) Transfer of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been
surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have
been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain
it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the
Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to
repurchase them before maturity.
When the Bank sells receivables in securitizations of loans, it might retain servicing rights, and
in some cases residual values and cash reserve accounts, all of which are retained interests in
the securitized loans. Gain or loss on sale of the loans depends in part on the previous carrying
amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and
the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. To obtain fair
values, quoted market prices are used if available. However, quotes are generally not available for
retained interests, so the Bank generally estimates fair value based on the present value of future
expected cash flows determined by using management’s best estimates of the key assumptions
- credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward yield curves, and discount rates commensurate with
the risks involved.

Leasehold improvements are amortized in three to five years or the lease term, whichever is
lower.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance
expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation and
amortization relating to premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated
from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.
(k) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets as follows:
- 38 -
(l) Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and identified intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but
rather tested for impairment annually. This test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities,
identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and comparing the fair value of each
reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a further
test is required to measure the amount of impairment.
Identified intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over that life in a manner
that approximates the estimated decline in the economic value of the identified intangible asset.
Identified intangible assets that have a definite useful life are periodically reviewed to determine
whether there have been any events or circumstances to indicate the recorded amount is not
recoverable from projected undiscounted net operating cash flows. If the projected undiscounted
net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized to reduce the
carrying amount to fair value, and when appropriate, the amortization period is also reduced.
(m) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and collectibility is assured.
Specifically, brokerage commission fees are recognized in income on a trade date basis. Asset
management fees, measured by assets at a particular date, are accrued as earned. Advisory fees
are recognized when the transaction is complete. Commission expenses are recorded when the
related revenue is recognized. Transaction-related expenses are recognized as incurred.
Credit card annual fees, net of direct lending costs, are deferred and amortized on a straight-line
basis over a one-year term. Merchant’s commission income is determined based on the amount
and type of purchase by the cardholder and is recognized at the time the charges are billed.
The Bank offers rewards programs that allow its cardholders to earn points that can be redeemed
for a broad range of rewards including cash, travel and discounted products. The Bank establishes
a rewards liability based upon the points earned which are expected to be redeemed and the
average cost per point redemption. The points to be redeemed are estimated based on past
redemption behavior, card product type, account transaction activity and other historical card
performance. The liability is reduced as the points are redeemed. The estimated cost of the
rewards programs is recorded as contra-revenue against credit card commissions.
(n) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Bank makes use of derivative financial instruments, primarily as part of its management of
interest rate risks.
- 39 -
Derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are used to
manage interest rate risk through the exchange of interest payments based on a predetermined
notional principal amount. The underlying principal balances are not affected. Net settlement
amounts are reported in other income.
The Bank carries all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting
for changes in fair value (i.e. gains or losses) of a derivative depends on whether it has been
designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the type of hedge. That is,
the derivative is designated by the Bank as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset
or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge); or (2) a hedge of the
variability of cash flows of a forecasted transaction to be received or paid related to a recognized
asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge); or (3) as a freestanding.
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that has been designated and qualifies as a fair value
hedge, along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable
to the hedged risk, are included in other income (expense) and recorded as derivative and hedging
activities. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that has been designated and qualifies as a cash
flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent of its effectiveness,
until earnings are impacted by the variability of cash flows from the hedged item. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives held for trading purposes or those that do not qualify as hedges
(freestanding) are included in other income (expense) and recorded as derivative and hedging
activities.
At the inception of each hedge, when applicable, the Bank documents the relationship between
hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy
for undertaking the hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are
designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheets, or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions.
(o) Income Tax
The Bank uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset
and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected
to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the enactment date period. A valuation allowance is recognized when it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.
When the foreign entity’s functional currency is determined to be the U.S. dollar, foreign currency
transactions are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are re-measured into the functional currency at
the exchange rate prevailing at balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses on foreign currency
transactions are included within other income in the consolidated statements of income.
(q) Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to the 2007 consolidated financial statement presentation.
(3) Business Combinations
The Bank believes the following acquisitions will enhance stockholder value by expanding the
Bank’s range of available products and services and increasing the distribution channels available
to customers.
The Bank acquired 99.9 percent of the outstanding stock of Banco Mercantil, S.A. (BAMER), a
Honduran banking institution, on June 13, 2007. The aggregate purchase price was approximately
US $132,449,000, including a cash payment of approximately US $130,222,000. The acquisition
(p) Foreign Currency
Assets, liabilities and operations of foreign subsidiaries are recorded based on the functional
currency of each entity. For foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency, in
which case the assets, liabilities and operations are translated, for consolidation purposes, at
period-end rates from the local currency to the reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The resulting
unrealized gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss).
- 40 -
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
“Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the results of operations of BAMER’s operations have been
included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Certain plans related
to the disposition of assets and the termination of employees are estimates and, when finalized,
may result in adjustments to goodwill.
The total purchase price of approximately US $132,449,000 has been allocated to the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the BAMER purchase date as
summarized in the following table:

Of the US$12.6 million of acquired intangibles assets, US $11.0 million was assigned to core deposit
intangible with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 17 years. The intangible assets
that make up the remaining amount include purchased credit card relationships for US$1.4 million
(10-year weighted average useful life), and other assets of US $0.2 million (1-year useful life). None
of the intangible assets are tax deductible. Goodwill of US $57.9 million is not deductible for tax
purposes.
- 41 -
During 2007, the Bank acquired the following two entities for a total cost of approximately
US$64.1 million, which was paid in cash:
• Corporacion Financiera Miravalles S. A., based in Costa Rica, a financial group that offered
primarily consumer loans.
• Fundacion Salvadoreña para el Desarrollo Economico y Social, based in El Salvador, a
financial group that offered primarily small business loans.
Goodwill preliminary recognized in those transactions amounted to approximately US $17,882,000
and approximately US $10,163,000 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
(4) Cash and Due from Banks, and Pledged Interest-Bearing Deposits
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, cash and due from banks aggregating US $743,890,147 and

The unrealized losses on investments are caused by interest rate increases. The decline in fair
value is mainly attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Bank
has the intent and ability to hold those investments until a market price recovery or maturity;
therefore, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

position for more than 12 months. Management considers the unrealized losses to be attributable
to increase in interest rates and not due to decline in the credit quality of the issuers. Therefore,
these securities are not considered to be other–than–temporarily impaired.

On December 16, 2002, the Bank, through a consolidated special purpose entity, issued
US $50,000,000 under its US $125 million CIC floating–rate trust certificates series 2002–A,
due January 8, 2010. On November 23, 2005 the Bank amended the original program and issued
additional certificates for US $275 million which increased the total amount under the program
to US $400 million due December 31, 2012. In May 2007, through another amendment, the final
maturity was extended to April 5, 2017. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the amount outstanding
under this program aggregated US $288,504,812 and US $74,504,812, respectively. The certificates
are issued and managed by CIC Receivables Master Trust for the benefit of the certificate holders.
The Master Trust currently holds a ‘AAA’ rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services. Such
certificates are secured in first degree by future cash flows originating in Guatemala, Honduras,
El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica from merchant vouchers and by a financial guarantee
insurance policy provided by Ambac Assurance Corp. (an insurance company holding a ‘AAA’
financial strength rating from Standard & Poor’s) which guarantees timely payment of certificate
interest and principal when due. The merchant vouchers are those to be generated by holders of
credit cards issued by third-party international financial institutions, under Visa and MasterCard
Credit Card Programs which are being serviced by the Bank. The certificates pay interest quarterly
the fifth day of each January, April, July and October at a rate of three-month U. S. dollar LIBOR
plus a margin (6.63% and 7.38%, including surety premiums, at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively). Principal amortization amounts will be paid to certificates holders beginning in April
2010. The certificates had an original duration of 4.68 years. At December 31, 2007, the certificates
currently have a weighted average duration of 6.1355 years (as amended).
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, secured borrowings amounted to US $601,758,968 and
US $225,499,721, respectively, including the amount outstanding under the CIC Receivables
Master Trust.
As of December 31, 2007, secured borrowings include a lease financing arrangement for acquisition
of an aircraft. The lease, with an aggregate outstanding balance of US $6,500,364, calls for
monthly advance installments of US $91,616, including interest, to be paid through January 1,
2015.
At December 31, 2007, the Bank had approximately US $559,325,297 available in unused lines of
credit that expire through 2012, including the unfunded portion of the CIC Receivables Master
Trust of US $111,495,188.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was US $47,576
and US $4,526,207, respectively.
The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

(19) Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course
of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include,
principally, commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, the balances
of which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee performance of a
customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily used to support trade transactions
and borrowing arrangements. Generally, all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within
one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers.
As of December 31, 2007 the Bank had outstanding revolving lines of credit available to its credit
card customers in each of the various countries of operation that ranged from approximately
US $150 million to US $1,208 million (US $160 million to US $1,023 million in 2006). The unused
portion of the total amount available in each country, aggregated approximately from US$93
million to US $934 million (US $89 million to US $800 million in 2006). While these amounts
represented the available lines of credit to customers per country, the Bank has not experienced,
and does not anticipate, that all of its customers will exercise their entire available lines at any
given point in time. The Bank generally has the right to increase, reduce, cancel, alter or amend
the terms of these available lines of credit at any time.
Financial guarantees are used in various transactions to enhance the credit standing of the Bank’s
customers. They represent irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payment in the event
that the customer fails to fulfill its obligations to third parties.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation
of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments may
expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary
by the Bank, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. At December 31, 2007
and 2006, the Bank had not entered into non-cancelable commitments to extend credit.
- 54 -
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance sheet instruments. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 outstanding letters of
credit and financial guarantees are as follows:
Standby letters of credit
Commercial letters of credit

15,704,227
141,690,940
Generally, the Bank has resources to recover from clients the amounts paid under these guarantees;
additionally, the Bank can hold cash or other collateral to cover for these guarantees. The assets
held as collateral, that the Bank can obtain and liquidate to recover totally or partially the
amounts paid under guarantees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, amounted to US $22,425,486
and US $12,485,962, respectively.
The fair value of the letters of credit and guarantees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are of
US $1,606,424 and US $969,509, respectively.
(20) Derivative Financial Instruments
The accounting of derivatives financial instruments requires that these financial instruments be
recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value.
In the normal course of business, the Bank uses interest rate derivatives primarily for economic
hedging purposes in its balance sheet management activities.
- 55 -
Types of Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments negotiated by the Bank are executed mainly over-the-counter (OTC).
These contracts are executed between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement
terms, including notional amount, exercise price and maturity.
For purposes of asset/liability activities, the Bank uses the following instruments:
Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows, which involve fixed for
floating interest payments or vice-versa. The Bank has designated these derivative instruments
as freestanding derivatives.
An interest rate cap is a contract that guarantees a maximum level of LIBOR. Caps are also known
as ceilings. In return for making this guarantee, the buyer pays a premium. Caps generally
guarantee a maximum level of either 3 or 6 month LIBOR or whatever the prevailing floating
rate index is in the particular market. The Bank’s maximum loss on a cap transaction is the
premium.

(21) Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors
similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is material in relation
to the Bank’s total credit exposure. Through the operation of subsidiary banks in Central
American countries, however, the Bank has widened its lending activities, diversifying into other
consumer and commercial products. The loan book is well diversified by economic sector and by
individual exposures. By country the largest loan exposures are held in Costa Rica, Honduras and
El Salvador.
(22) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between
willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted
market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s
various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values
are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates
of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate
settlement of the instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not
necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Bank’s financial instruments.
a) Financial Instruments with Carrying Value Approximating Fair Value
The carrying value of certain financial assets including cash and cash equivalents, interestbearing deposits, and customers’ liability under acceptances outstanding, as well as certain
financial liabilities, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase and acceptances
outstanding, approximate fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.
(b) Investment Securities
The fair value of investment securities (trading, available for sale and held to maturity) is estimated
based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities
dealers. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market
prices for similar securities or based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. Available
for sale securities are carried at fair value. Refer to notes 5, 6 and 7 for fair value information.
The following is a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value of the
most significant financial instruments held by the Bank:
- 56 -
(c) Loans
The fair value is estimated based on portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.
Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage
and other consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate
interest terms, and by performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing
loans, except residential mortgage loans, is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows
through the estimated maturity of the loans using estimated market discount rates that reflect
the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For performing residential mortgage loans,
fair value is estimated by segmenting loans into homogeneous categories and by reference to
quotations available in markets where these loans were traded. Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on estimated cash flows discounted using a rate commensurate with
the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows
and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific
borrower information. The fair value of loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately
US $4,521,702,816 and US $2,794,634,551 (carrying value was of US $4,520,686,233 and
US $2,795,811,338), respectively.
(d) Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand, savings, and money market
deposits, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. The
fair value of time deposits is calculated based on the discounted value of contractual cash
flows. The discount rate used represents the interest rates currently offered for time deposits of
similar remaining maturities. The fair value of time deposits at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was
approximately US $1,801,691,918 and US $1,234,750,876 (carrying value of US $1,798,706,950 and
US $1,233,272,255), respectively.
(e) Borrowings
The fair value of borrowings was calculated based on the discounted value of contractual cash
flows. The discount rate used represents the interest rates currently offered for similar types of
borrowings and remaining maturities. The fair value of borrowings at December 31, 2007 and 2006
was approximately US $1,120,048,703 and US $543,663,691 (carrying value of US $1,123,103,587
and US $546,710,873), respectively.
- 57 -
(f) Other borrowed funds
The fair value of other borrowed funds was calculated based on the discounted value of contractual
cash flows. The discount rate used represents the interest rates currently offered for similar types
of other borrowed funds and remaining maturities. The fair value of other borrowed funds at
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately US $212,905,391 and US $131,588,669 (carrying
value of US $213,476,324 and US $130,288,780), respectively.
(g) Off-balance sheet instruments
The fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Refer to note 19 for fair value information.
(23) Administration of Trust Contracts and Asset Management
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, several of the Bank’s subsidiaries administer and are custodian
of assets which amounted to approximately US $786,488,113 and US $338,345,000, respectively.

(26) Regulatory Matters
Banking operations of the Bank are subject to various regulatory requirements administered
by governmental agencies in the countries they operate or are licensed. Failure to meet these
regulatory requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary,
actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Bank’s consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank’s
banking operations were in compliance with such regulatory requirements.
(25) Litigation
To the best knowledge of Bank’s management, there is currently no litigation or assessment that
may result in a material adverse effect on its business, its consolidated financial condition or
consolidated results of operations.
