Foreword from the Board of Directors
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Clients, Business Partners and Colleagues,
For the sixth time we are delighted to be able to
announce in the Introduction to the Annual Report
that Volksbank CZ again achieved excellent annual
results.
These excellent results are due above all to growth
in deposits and lending as well as the expansion
of our branch network and the increase in our staff
numbers.
The rapid growth in our branch network in 2002
started in January, when the Plzeň branch was
opened to support business activity in western
thereby exceeding CZK 8 bil.
Loan assets also registered substantial increases:
compared to the year 2001 the value of loans
provided increased by 44% and reached CZK
12.3 bil.
The number of Bank staff had to be increased
during the year so that the Bank would be able to
provide appropriate timely and quality services to its
increasing number of clients and business partners.
The steady expansion in the range of banking
products we offered meant that our staff continually
received training both in the form of seminars in
the Bank and international training programmes
(Volksbanken Academy).
The achievement of successful results was based
particularly on two target groups: small and
medium-sized enterprises, and municipalities. The
International Desk activity has also substantially
contributed to our achievements.
In 2002 the Bank continued to have as its main aim
to offer all of its clients those products and services
which complement their interests and diverse
needs.

Bohemia. At the beginning of the second quarter
the Znojmo branch started its activities with the
advantage of its location near to the Austrian
border enabling the establishment of cross-border
business contacts. Although our branch expansion
plans were optimistic, one thing which we could
not foresee or control was the force of nature in the
form of the one-hundred-year flood. Our branch and
regional centre in Karlin, Prague, which had scarcely
been opened for a year, were so severely damaged
that we were forced to move our operations from
there to new representative premises in Lazarská
street. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our
staff this move was completed very rapidly and
efficiently. Presently, the branch serves mainly
corporate clients. At the end of the year a fifteenth
branch was opened in an elegant historic building
in Hradec Králové near to Velké náměstí.
The opening of four further branches is planned for
2003: when we start doing business in Ostrava in
northern Moravia this will represent entry into a new
region for Volksbank CZ. Furthermore our market
presence in Prague will be further strengthened by
the opening of three new offices there.
This expansion would be unthinkable without
appropriate financial results. Total assets as
per 31 December 2002 exceeded CZK 16.2 bil.
representing an increase of more than a third over
the previous year. The dynamic growth in the area
of business activities was supported by the increase
in the Bank’s share capital by CZK 100 million to
CZK 750 million Compared to the previous year
clients’ deposits increased by a respectable 28%
Václav Vitha
Johann Lurf
In this respect we consider it important to mention
our co-operation with the Victoria-Volksbanken
Pojišťovna, a.s. insurance company, where the yearon-year increase in insurance policies concluded
amounted to 60% which resulted in us exceeding
a bold plan for the year 2002. The co-operation with
Českomoravská stavební spořitelna, with the yearon-year increase in the number of policies signed of
almost 20%, was also important.
The Bank’s development picture would be
incomplete without mentioning new products,
especially consumer loans and a new version of
electronic banking. Thanks to the simplification of
a number of administrative procedures we are also
able to place more emphasis on communication
with our clients. With regard to the above data and
permanent effort to increase service quality we
expect optimistic development in the year 2003. In
addition, next year we will most probably become
a Bank with an EU banking licence.
Thanks to the speed, flexibility and traditional
lending risk policies Volksbank CZ is and will
continue to be a safe, strong and growth-oriented
bank.
Reflecting this, we would like to thank you, our
esteemed business partners, clients and friends, as
well as our employees and our shareholders, for the
trust provided and the excellent co-operation we
have.

The Volksbank Group
Volksbank CZ has been successfully active
on the Czech market since 1993. The
bank’s main shareholder is Volksbank
International AG (100% subsidiary of
Österreichische Volksbanken-AG, here in
after referred to as ÖVAG).
ÖVAG was founded in 1922 by commercial lending
cooperatives. The bank is the central institute
of one of the most important banking groups in
Austria and is majority-owned by more than 60
independent “Volksbanken”. Today Österreichische
Volksbanken-AG is an international commercial
bank and a strong partner in Central and Eastern
Europe.
10
More than 10 years ago ÖVAG began its successful
expansion into Central and Eastern Europe in
Slovakia. To date ÖVAG has an international
network comprising more than 100 offices in ten
countries. ÖVAG’s subsidiaries - with strategic
shareholdings held by German, French, Italian and
Turkish partner banks – are located in Slovenia,
Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. As per December
31, 2002 these subsidiaries had combined total
assets of EUR 2.3 billion. In addition, in Italy ÖVAG
has a branch in Verona as well as a subsidiary in
Malta and a representative office in Paris.
Via its co-operation with the Confédération
Internationale des Banques Populaires, which has
a network of 45,000 banking outlets in the member
states in Europe, North Africa, Argentina, Canada
and Japan, Volksbank CZ is able to offer its clients
a presence in all major financial centres worldwide.
United in trust – our motto clearly reflects the very
special partnership which exists between us and
our clients. The mutual trust which is so important,
in particular in international business, is the result
of joint planning and activities. This trust is the
best basis for a long-lasting relationship and good
long-term business.

Economic Environment
The Czech Republic continued to grow in 2002
although at 2% growth was not as high as the
3.6% achieved in the year before. The growth in
the Czech economy, while still being shaped by
existing positive factors also had to contend with a
series of new factors, most of which were negative,
such as world wide economic weakness which led
to a stagnation in demand for Czech goods as well
as the catastrophic flooding in the summer of 2002.
On the other hand, positive factors influencing
the increase of GDP were visible during the whole
year, resulting in stability of price levels: inflation
during 2002, for example, 12-months inter-bank
PRIBOR fell from 4.50% p. a. to a level of about
2.50% p. a. This has also resulted in an increase
in volume of consumer loans provided, and also
in high consumption which in principle led to the
growth in GDP.
The influx of foreign investment decreased
especially in relation to the finalisation of the
privatisation of the remaining government stakes
in major companies. At the same time foreign
investors started to monitor more closely the
unfavourable development of the fiscal imbalance,

almost stopped and later – in the beginning of the
year 2003 – the consumer price index fell almost
below zero in the deflationary range. This resulted
in further decreases in interest rates in the country

and increased pressures on the Government to
make reforms in this area were also generally
expected in relation to compliance with the
Maastricht budget criteria requirements for
accession to the Eurozone. The foreign trade
deficit was maintained below CZK 80 billion which
was one half less than in the previous year. Total
current account balance of the overall balance of
payments reached an unfavourable deficit of USD
(3.7) billion, which was however covered more than
twice by the financial account surplus reaching
USD 10.4 billion.
Continuing very competitive labour prices in the
Czech Republic, combined with lower, however
still substantial, influx of foreign investments, were
not able to reduce the unemployment rate, which

a market economy.

fluctuated around 10%. More rapid growth of real
wages compared to the growth in productivity of
labour and GDP also played its role.
In 2002 the banking sector did not show any
dramatic fluctuations, total assets increased, as did
profitability, save for some exceptions. The situation
of most banks in the market was so far the best

Lines of Business
International Desk
After the necessary restructuring measures taken
in 2002, the International Desk´s most important
activities did not focus only on the Italian client
base which still remains the largest client group,
but also on French and Spanish clients. Thanks
to highly qualified and bilingual staff and thanks
16
to our international partner support, the outcome
was very positive. Presently, the International Desk
has more than 700 clients operating in various
branches of the economy, with more than 1,300
accounts open with Volksbank CZ. Even with
activities in the industrial and commerce sectors is
clearly visible.
The co-operation with Italian, French and Spanish
partner banks has expanded further as well as with
ÖVAG-branch in Italy and colleagues from the new
bureau de liaison in Paris.
Corporate clients
In the course of the year 2002 internal
restructuring resulted in a new organisational
structure. Its objective was the enhancement of
domestic and international corporate customer
care. The structuring of business activities
by territory to Moravia and Bohemia that had
commenced in the previous year turned out
to be beneficial, especially in supporting the
individual approach to business partners and
establishing closer and more open co-operation.
The international clientele administered at this
client department comes particularly from German
and English speaking countries (Germany, Austria,
Great Britain etc.).
Corporate Clients Department - Moravia and
Corporate Clients Department - Bohemia were
substantially supported by employees with
adequate professional and language skills, not
only in the Brno head office and Prague regional
head office, but also in departments operating at
selected branches. Consequently, the staff can
better understand individual regions, including
local clientele needs, and provide bank products,
services and related consulting services on the
spot, i.e. at the client premises or in the local
branch.
Teams are prepared to provide complex bank
services for all economic entities within defined
target client groups, including the partner
approach typical for the Volksbank group.
Corporate Clients - Moravia
The volume of year-on-year client deals in Moravia
increased by 76.4%, with the biggest increase
noted in the area of investment loans and current
and term deposits in Czech Crowns. New business
relationships were established with leading
business entities and co-operation with current
corporate clients was extended. In addition,
several projects in the area of real estate funding
commenced.
Corporate Clients - Bohemia
In the first six months of the year 2002 contact
has been established with a important supplier of
investment units and their technology parts and
appropriate mutually satisfactory implementation
forms of bank transactions were found. Bank
guarantees and operational funding with minimum
return risks for new partners active in industries
were provided. The Bank also participated in
its client’s business plan in the area of capacity
extension of foreign language schools in Prague.
Retail bank services
The goal of the „open branches“ concept already
used during the development of three new
branches opened in 2002, which will be gradually
introduced in all current branches, is to enhance
the personal approach to our clients.
With the assistance of the latest technology
Volksbank CZ clients can now use information
terminals which make it possible for them to trace
back their account balances for a period of up
to two years. In addition, clients may print their
account statements for themselves free of charge;
all this reflects Volksbank´s philosophy of treating
its customers as partners and its goal is to be
a modern bank with the latest technologies and
be prepared to share them with its clients for the
benefit of both sides.
The introduction of the revolutionary new Twin
Safes system, which renders the old cash systems
obsolete, can be used by our clients for all cash
transactions.
These innovations – Info-terminal and Twin Safe
– illustrated by the motto „We know how valuable
your time is“, will speed up client services in
branches and will enable more intensive focus on
the client himself, his needs and wishes.
Municipalities/Public Sector
In 2002 the Bank continued with its engagement
in the municipality sector and within the framework
of the municipality programme it acquired, as
new clients, a number of municipalities and their
subsidiary firms. Steps were taken to expand the
bank’s co-operation with housing co-operatives.
The Bank took part in most public tenders for
financing municipality projects and was successful
in many of them.
Overall, the Bank provides its banking and

Treasury
Despite the challenging environment that
predominated in 2002, the activities of the
Treasury Department were very successful. The
department had a significant share in the bank’s
total profits. Planned earnings from business
operations in financial markets were surpassed by
ca 67%. The number of transactions increased by
approximately 23%, and the value traded by 35%.
Concerning sales, the department concentrated on
direct product sales. The number of clients using
Treasury products almost doubled in the last year.
Trained branch staff participated in the work. The
department also organised, in co-operation with
Securities
The work of the Securities Department was also
affected by the volatility of financial markets.
Nonetheless, thanks to experienced staff it
managed to overcome this adverse trend in the
capital markets, to report an increase in securities
investments of more than 28%. Thanks to more
intense activity it achieved an increase in the
number of clients investing in securities. These
results could not have been achieved without
further staff training in the individual branches.
Another 35 staff members were trained in 2002.
Risk management
The Bank takes a conservative approach to risk
management. It has to cope with the following
risks, whose structure and impact it maintains at
a reasonable level: credit and market risk, liquidity
and operational risk.
In the process of risk management the Bank
follows the legislation in force, principles laid
down by the group headquarters, and the group
companies´ know-how.
The Bank’s Board of Directors approves the
Bank’s strategy in risk management in line with
the rules laid down by the Basel Committee.
It has developed a risk management system
in compliance with this strategy, based on
strict organisational separation of sales and
risk management. It operates a quality control
system based on the ‘four eyes principle’ and in
compliance with criteria for the assessment of
risks and internal limit adequacy.

Credit risk management
The Bank’s credit policy applies the most
important principles of credit risk management.
These principles comply with the Group’s
credit policy and include a definition of target
client groups and limits set for the individual
sectors. In the credit process the principle of
clear organisational separation of sales and risk
management is maintained and both sections are
represented in the approval process. All the Bank’s
internal controls comply with measures of the
Czech National Bank, and together with specimen
contract documentation, they are up-dated on an
ongoing basis.
In the area of collateral valuation the Bank applies
a prudent approach, in particular in real estate
valuation.
In 2002 the Bank started in co-operation with the
group headquarters to implement the corporate
internal rating system, the so-called VB-Corporate
Rating System which is one of those projects to
be implemented as part of the rules laid down by
the Basel Commitee. The aim of the VB-Corporate
Rating System is to achieve an optimum risk
management process within the lending approval
procedure and at the same time to identify
possible loan losses early on. It is also preparing,
in co-operation with the group headquarters,
internal ratings for other client segments, such
as the municipality sector, project funding, and
private individuals.
Despite the Bank’s conservative approach
to risk management, new loans granted in
2002 increased the total loan value to CZK
12,672 million, which compared with the previous
period is an increase of approximately 44%.
During the same period the proportion of the
Bank’s classified loans decreased from 17.03%

Bank did not exceed any open currency position

Currency risk
The Bank deals in currencies in both Czech and
international markets. All limits are included in the
Group’s structure of limits. In the FX area the Bank
concentrates on client trading. In the inter-bank

Interest rate risk
The Bank’s interest rate risk exposure is the
possibility of the Bank’s decrease in net profit due
to interest rate fluctuations.
The Bank monitors the risk daily using GAP
analysis. For the year 2003 the Bank is preparing
to introduce direct interest rate risk management
using a wide-spread GAP method (a set of
limits), stress scenarios and models, a system
for simulation of the impact of changes in market
conditions on the level of risk to be faced.
To hedge interest rate positions, the Bank uses
derivative transactions.

Market risk management
Market risk represents the risk of a loss resulting
from changing prices, FX rates and financial
market rates. It comprises interest rate, currency,
share and other risks related to market price
fluctuations. Responsibilities and control
mechanisms in the market risk management
process are addressed by the Bank’s internal
regulations and the internal control system.
The main instrument used to manage market risks
are limits in respect of individual types of market
risk. Limit compliance is monitored on an ongoing
basis and is regularly reported to ALCO (Asset
and Liabilitie Committee) meetings that determine
market risk management strategy and objectives.
If any limits are exceeded “emergency” measures
are taken and open positions are closed or
secured by appropriate hedging instruments.

portfolio in 2002 and was not therefore exposed to
equity market risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity management is based on the planning
of future inflows and outflows of funds based
on agreements with the clients and on credit
agreements which oblige the Bank to undertake
activities. The Bank forecasts every day net
cash flows for the period of five business days in
advance for each main currency in its management
information system. An estimated cash flow, actual
liquidity report, basic and alternate scenarios are
processed for each main currency. Each currency
has its set limit which is monitored on a daily
basis.
Operational risk
Operational risk constitutes a substantial part of
the Bank’s risk policy. It may be defined as the
risk of a loss incurred as a result of inadequacy
or failure of internal procedures, as a result of
accidental human error or systems failures, or
due to external circumstances. The Bank is
going to take part in a project for comprehensive
management and monitoring of operational risks,
applying the Basel Committee rules and directed
by the group headquarters.

The most important event in the Payments
Department was without doubt the introduction
of new methods of communication with the Bank
in electronic banking – Internet banking and
Multicash – in the portfolio of banking products
and services, which took place in October 2002.
From the very beginning these products met with
great interest on the part of our clients.
The staff of the individual payments sections
(inland, foreign and electronic) were able to cope
with an increase in domestic and foreign payments
of approximately 15% thanks to suitable hardware
and software. The value of all payments processed
increased by a similar percentage.
Much interest was also noted in the Homebanking
service. The number of users increased by
36% in comparison with the preceding period.
Electronic banking has thus already become
one of our standard products as a modern and
almost irreplaceable form of communication
with the bank. This is best illustrated with
figures: of the total number of inland and foreign
transactions, 53% and 37%, respectively, were
sent electronically.
Thanks to co-operation with the Department of
Automation, which looked after the technical
aspects, our clients can place their orders with
any branch of Volksbank CZ no matter in which
branch they have their account. The work of the
department was further streamlined and the entire
process of payment processing was accelerated
by the implementation of electronic processing
of operations that had previously been done
manually. As a result, the time necessary to deal
with client matters in the branches was reduced.
Payment cards
Another three ATMs were put into service last year
in new branches in Znojmo and Hradec Kralove,
and the first ATM outside the branch network was
put into operation in the shopping centre Big Billa
in Brno.
An important moment, and probably the most
significant event of last year, which is going
to have an influence in the coming years, was
the conclusion of a contract with the Czech
21
representation of Diners Club and the issuing of
the first 250 pre-embossed charge cards in the
last quarter of 2002. The number of payment cards
issued increased by about 82%.
The activities of the Payment Card Department
were also influenced by the fact that an increasing
number of clients realise the advantages of
paying by a payment card for goods and services
in shops and prefer this payment method to
cash. A considerable increase of more than 55%
was reported for POS (point-of-sale) payments
(payments for goods and services in shops).
The total number of Volksbank payment card
transactions rose by a significant 35%. Their total
value increased by 32%.
22
Automation/EDP
The priority of the Department of Automation
was traditionally client service support in the area
of electronic and self-service payments and the
further development of the Bank’s infrastructure.
A new electronic banking product, Multi-cash, was
offered in the middle of the year in co-operation
with the Departments of Marketing and Payments.
It is a European standard product and it is primarily
designed for major and multinational clients. In the
second half of the year the portfolio of e-services
offered by Volksbank CZ was supplemented with
an Internet banking product addressed to the
broadest client base of the non-corporate type.
At the same time, there was a huge increase in
the number of information terminals which enable
clients to access information about their accounts
and print account statements for themselves.
All of the bank’s workplaces are equipped with

state-of-the-art software and hardware. As
a result, the bank’s clients are served in any
branch with the same speed and comfort. Every
workplace has access to the intranet and the
Internet. Our staff thus have at their disposal
necessary and up-to-date information and are
able to give better service. The new services
together with a continual increase in the number of
branches, clients and transaction volume presaged
much higher demands on rapid and reliable
communication between the bank’s branches.
A brand-new interconnection structure was built
with quadruple speed of communication.
The increasing volume of electronic operations
brings in its wake growing demands for securing
data against misuse. Therefore an extensive audit
by a leading audit firm of international reputation
carried out several tests at the close of 2002 with
positive results.

Property Administration
The Property Administration Department was
responsible for the successful opening of three
new Volksbank CZ branches. One was opened in
January in Plzeň, the branch network expanded
further in May with one in Znojmo and at the end
of the year another branch was added in Hradec
Králové. All these points of sale meet the necessary
criteria, both regarding material equipment
- modern automatic teller machines, Twin Safe
facilities and self-service information terminals
were installed - and in corresponding to our „open
branch“ concept. Most branches are based in
buildings of historical value which were adapted
according the clients` requests.
The Property Administration Department faced
serious problems last year, having to cope with
the flooded regional centre and branch. Despite
the damage to the equipment that Volksbank CZ
sustained, it succeeded in saving part of the assets.

Product Development
The Product Development Department collaborated
on signing an agreement with the European
Investment Bank for financing and opening a global
credit in the amount of EUR 20 million to refinance
projects for small and medium-sized enterprises. In
addition to Volksbank CZ, a loan was also granted
for the same amount to VB Leasing
spol. s r.o. Volksbank CZ was the first bank in the
Czech Republic to receive such a loan.
Human resources management
In view of the dynamic growth of the Bank, much
stress was placed on selection and engagement
of new staff in 2002. New vacancies were created
by the new branches in Plzen, Znojmo and Hradec
Kralove and new staff were taken on in parallel
with the growth in business activities for the
existing branches, sales departments, servicing
and administrative sections. When selecting staff
particular emphasis was placed on experience and

1998-1999 ATM & POS total
professional skills.
In staff training we concentrated on further
development of the internal training system. With
the support of Volksbank Academy we prepared,
and put into practice, the educational project
Client Advisor. Participants in the project, under
the leadership of internal specialists, resolved
through case studies specific problems in
investment consulting and financing. The project
does not neglect personal development and selling
skills.
Marketing
Contact with prospective and existing clients
exploited all available channels of communication.
Since an increasing number of inhabitants of the
Czech Republic have access to the Internet, due
attention was paid to this method of reaching
prospective clients. An extensive promotional
campaign was run in the autumn on the occasion

of the launch of our Internet banking service.
During the campaign the Marketing Department
collaborated with majority of the most visited news
and financial servers and organised a competition
and a quiz.
The originality of this campaign consisted in taking
advantage of all the possibilities the Internet offers
in the field of communication to promote new
services and new ways of obtaining necessary
information about Volksbank CZ through its
website at www.volksbank.cz which is continually
service information terminals and Twin Safe
facilities that begun towards the end of 2001,
whose key motive was the slogan ‘We know how
valuable your time is’ In collaboration with Retail
services department the promotion ‘66 – 99’ took
place achievinging its two goals: to expand the
use of payment cards by our clients and initiate the
use of information terminals in the branches. Other
activities of the Marketing Department included
giving support and publicity to three new branches
in Plzen, Znojmo and Hradec Kralové. The opening
updated. Thanks to this campaign the number of
visitors to the website doubled and awareness of
Volksbank increased in all target groups.
Our philosophy of personal client approach and
the will to meet their requirements was illustrated
by Internet banking not only thanks to the unique
five-language-version – Czech, German, English,
French, and Italian.
Support to sales force also continued for self-
of the Znojmo branch was connected with the PR
event ‘Jagr Team Show’.
As regards sponsoring, Volksbank CZ focused on
two important areas: culture and sport. Cultural
events supported by the bank included
co-operation with Moravian Gallery in Brno, the
Brno theatre G-studio and Prague’s theatre
Broadway, where the famous musical Cleopatra
was staged, and last but not least, a festival

organised by the Austrian Cultural Forum ‘Austrian
Months in Brno.’ The bank also supported
a number of exhibitions and concerts, e.g. the
Gustav Mahler Festival at Jihlava.
Concerning sport, Kaplice, Znojmo, Jihlava, Zlin
and Liberec received our support. Volksbank CZ
is also associated with competitions in disciplines
such as modern gymnastics, yachting and
swimming in Brno.
During the year the Bank worked hard at redesigning its corporate design and „adopted“
the changes made by the Volksbanken Group as
a whole, i.e. the new company slogan „United
in Trust“ was introduced which aims to further
highlight the fact that we wish to develop a
partnership with our clients in all our banking and
business relations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Volksbank CZ, a.s. (hereinafter referred to as “the Bank”) was incorporated on 1 January 1997. The Bank
has its registered office at Brno and is organised as 15 domestic regional branches in the Czech Republic.
Its parent company is Volksbank International AG (100% subsidiary of Österreichische Volksbanken-AG),
incorporated in Austria.
The Bank’s operations primarily consist of:
34
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
providing Czech and foreign currency loans and guarantees;
accepting and placing deposits in Czech and foreign currency;
accepting current and term accounts denominated in Czech and foreign currency;
rendering of general banking services through a network of branches and agencies;
providing foreign exchange transactions on the inter-bank money market;
providing foreign trade finance and related banking services;
trading in securities and portfolio management.
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements, comprising a balance sheet, statements of income and of changes in equity and
accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with the Act on accounting and the applicable accounting
rules set by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic. The financial statements are prepared under
the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial instruments held for trading and
available-for-sale to fair values.
The financial statements are rounded to thousands of Czech Crowns (“CZK’000”) unless otherwise stated and
are not consolidated.
(b) Foreign currencies
Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Czech Crowns at the
exchange rate announced by the Czech National Bank (“CNB”) effective at the balance sheet date. All
resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in gains less losses from financial transactions.
2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
(c) Fair value of securities
The fair value of a security is determined as the market value quoted by a relevant stock exchange or other
active public market. In other cases the fair value is estimated by:
•
•
the share on the investee’s equity for equities;
the risk adjusted net present value for debt securities and notes.
(d) Trading securities
Trading securities were either acquired for generating profit from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer’s
margin, or included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists. Trading securities are
initially recognised at cost, which includes expenses incurred in connection with their acquisition, and they
are further measured at fair value. All related gains and losses are included in gains less losses from financial
transactions. Spot purchases and sales are recognised on a settlement date basis. Forward trades are
treated as derivatives. Interest earned on trading securities is reported as interest income on securities.
(e) Available-for-sale investment securities
Available-for-sale investment securities are neither trading securities nor securities held to maturity. They
comprise mainly shares in companies other than in subsidiaries and associates and debt securities held for
liquidity management. Available-for-sale securities are measured in the same way as trading securities.
(f) Investment securities held-to-maturity
Investment securities held-to-maturity are securities with fixed maturity where the Bank has both the intent and
the ability to hold them to maturity.
They are measured at amortised cost.
35
(g) Transfers between portfolios
Transfers between portfolios are generally allowed if management intentions are changed, except as follows:
•
•
•
trading securities cannot be transferred;
on sale or transfer of any securities held-to-maturity, the Bank must transfer the rest of the
portfolio of securities held-to-maturity to available-for-sale securities and no securities can be
classified as held-to-maturity within the two following accounting periods;
exceptions to this rule are allowed within the last three months before maturity or in the case
of a significant deterioration in an issuer’s creditworthiness.
(h) Investments in subsidiary and associated undertakings
36
A subsidiary is an enterprise that is controlled by the Bank, which means that the Bank has the power to
govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
An associated undertaking is an enterprise where the Bank has significant influence, which is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions, but not control.
Investments in subsidiary and associated undertakings are measured at cost less any impairment other than
temporary.
(i) Securities financing arrangements
Securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell (resale or reverse repo agreements) are not
recognised on the balance sheet. Securities lent or sold under agreements to repurchase (repo agreements)
are retained in their original portfolio. The underlying cashflows are recorded as loans and borrowings
respectively on a settlement date basis.
(j) Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange contracts, interest rate futures, forward rate
agreements, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and interest rate options and other derivative financial
instruments are initially recognised on balance sheet at cost and subsequently are remeasured at their fair
value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash-flow models and options pricing
models as appropriate. All derivatives are presented in other assets or in other liabilities when their fair value is
positive or negative respectively.
Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments, are treated as separate derivatives when their
risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not
carried at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives held for trading are included in Gains less losses from financial
transactions.
The Bank designates prospectively certain derivatives as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognised asset
or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of a future cash flow attributable to a recognised asset or liability,
a forecasted transaction or a firm commitment (cash flow hedge). Hedge accounting is used for derivatives
designated in this way provided the following criteria are met.
1)
2)
3)
4)
formal documentation of the general hedging strategy, hedged risk, hedging instrument, hedged
item and their relationship is prepared before hedge accounting is applied;
the hedge documentation proves that it is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the risk in the
hedged item at inception and throughout the reporting period;
the hedge is effective on an ongoing basis;
the hedged item is not a security classified as held for trading.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as effective fair value hedges are recorded in the income
statement, along with the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable
to that specific hedged risk.
37
(j) Derivative financial instruments and hedging - continued
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as effective cash flow hedges are recorded in the hedging
reserve in equity. Where a hedged forecasted transaction or firm commitment results in the recognition of
an asset or of a liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in the hedging reserve are transferred from
the hedging reserve and form a part of the cost of the asset or liability. Otherwise, amounts deferred in the
hedging reserve are transferred to the income statement and classified as income or expense in the periods
during which the hedged item affects the income statement.
(k) Interest income and expense
38
Interest income and expense are recognised for all interest bearing instruments on an accrual basis using the
effective yield method based on the acquisition cost. Interest income includes accrued coupons, discount and
premium on all fixed income instruments.
Income on non performing loans is also accrued and capitalised into the related loan balance. Such amounts
are considered in estimating the provision for non-performing loans.
(l) Penalty interest
Accrual of penalty interest income is suspended when loans become overdue by more than 90 days, or on
other events of a debtor’s default.
(m) Fee and commission income
Fixed fee income for arrangement of loans, guarantees and other activities is recognised immediately, whereas
commission is accrued over the period to maturity.
(n) Provisions and allowances
Specific provisions are recognised when the Bank has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. In addition, general provisions for
banking risk recorded prior to 1 January 2002 are recognised in the balance sheet, however, these must be
utilised or written back to income by 31 December 2005. The Bank is reducing this balance by 25% each year
over the period 2002 - 2005. All provisions are presented in liabilities.
Allowances are deducted from the cost of each impaired asset. The amount of allowance for impaired
loans and other assets is based on appraisals of these assets at the balance sheet date after taking into
consideration the present forced sale value of collateral. The market in the Czech Republic for many
collaterals is at an early stage of development and there is a low level of liquidity for certain types of assets.
As a result, the realisable value on foreclosure may differ from the value ascribed in estimating allowances.
(o) Tangible and intangible fixed assets
Tangible and intangible fixed assets are recorded at cost, which includes costs incurred in bringing the assets
to their present location and condition and value added tax.
Tangible and intangible fixed assets are depreciated or amortised by applying the straight-line or accelerated
basis over the estimated useful lives. The accounting depreciation/amortisation rates used by the Bank equal
the depreciation/amortisation rates for tax straight-line depreciation/amortisation and for tax accelerated
depreciation/amortisation as appropriate. However, these tax depreciation rates are applied on a monthly
basis with respect to accounting depreciation/amortisation. Fixed assets purchased from 1993 until 1998
have been depreciated or amortised on the straight-line basis using the depreciation/amortisation rates for tax
straight-line depreciation/amortisation. Fixed assets purchased from 1999 until 2002 have been depreciated
or amortised on accelerated bases using the rates for tax accelerated depreciation/amortisation.
Low value tangible and intangible assets with a unit cost of less than CZK 25,000 are treated as fixed assets
and are fully depreciated or amortised upon the inception of use. Low value assets with a unit cost higher
than CZK 25,000 but lower than CZK 40,000 (for low value intangible assets) or CZK 60,000 (for low value
tangible assets) are depreciated/amortised based on professional judgement of useful life over 3, 4 or 6 years.
39
(o) Tangible and intangible fixed assets (continued)

Safes
Purchased licences are amortised over 4 years or over the life of licence agreement, if shorter.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, a provision
is established.
Tangible assets’ repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Improvement
expenditures exceeding CZK 40,000 per unit in one year for tangible fixed assets and CZK 60,000 for
intangible fixed assets are capitalised.
(p) Value added tax
The Bank is registered for value added tax (“VAT”). Fixed tangible assets and intangible assets are
stated at cost including appropriate VAT. The Bank does not raise claims for input VAT, since the ratio of
income subject to VAT is lower than 5% of the total income of the Bank. Input VAT incurred is expensed
immediately.
(q) Deferred taxation
Deferred tax liability is recognised on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or
liability in the balance sheet and its tax base using the full liability method. Deferred tax asset is recognised
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which this asset can be
utilised.
(r) Pensions
No formal or informal pension plan is currently in operation at the Bank. Regular contributions are made to
the state to fund the national pension plan.
(s) Related parties
41
Related parties are defined in accordance with the Act on Banks as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
board members, senior management and their relatives;
corporates controlling the Bank, their shareholders holding more than 10% of capital and their
senior management and its relatives;
corporates with 10% shareholding of the Bank’s board members, senior management or corporates
controlling the Bank;
shareholders holding more than 10% of the Bank and corporates controlled by them;
subsidiaries of the Bank.
Material transactions, outstanding balances and pricing policies with related parties are disclosed in Notes 4,
5(b), 10 ,12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23.
(t) Subsequent events
The effects of events, which occurred between the balance sheet date and the date of signing the financial
statements, are reflected in the financial statements in the case that these events provide further evidence of
conditions, which existed at the balance sheet date.
Where significant events occur subsequent to the balance sheet date prior to signing of the financial
statements, which are indicative of conditions, which arose subsequent to the balance sheet date, the effects
of these events are disclosed, but are not themselves reflected in the financial statements.
(u) Extraordinary items and changes in accounting policy
Extraordinary items include one-off effects of events outside the scope of the Bank’s activities and effects of
changes in accounting policies.
Changes in accounting policy have been adopted by the Bank prospectively, therefore comparative financial
information has not been restated.
There have been changes in accounting policies since 1 January 2002 as follows:
(1)
Direct transaction costs related to acquisition of financial assets are capitalised in their cost.
The final effect is that this is presented in the net income from financial operations, previously
presented in fees and commissions.
(2)
Accrued interest income and expense relating to assets and liabilities is presented in the
balance sheet together with those assets / liabilities.
42
Above described changes in accounting policies did not effected the Bank’s net equity at
1 January 2002 and did not materially change profit for the year ended 31 December 2002.

26 FINANCIAL RISKS
(a) Strategy in using financial instruments
The Bank’s activities are principally related to the use of financial instruments. The Bank accepts deposits
from customers at both fixed and floating rates and for various periods and seeks to earn above average
interest margins by investing these funds in high quality assets. The Bank seeks to increase these margins
by consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates whilst maintaining sufficient
liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due.
The Bank also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above average margins, net of provisions,
through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit standing. Such exposures
involve not just on-balance sheet loans and advances but the Bank also enters into guarantees and other
commitments such as letters of credit and other similar liabilities.
The Bank also trades in financial instruments where it takes positions in traded and over the counter
instruments including derivatives to take advantage of short-term market movements in the equity and bond
markets and in currency, interest rate and commodity prices. The Board places trading limits on the level of
26 FINANCIAL RISKS - continuation
(a) Strategy in using financial instruments - continued
exposure that can be taken in relation to both overnight and intra-day market positions. With the exception of
specific hedging arrangements, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures associated with these derivatives
are normally offset by entering into counterbalancing positions, thereby controlling the variability in the net
cash amounts required to liquidate market positions.
(b) Credit risk
The Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in
relation to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and business segments. Such risks are
monitored on a revolving basis and are subject to an annual or more frequent review. Limits on the level of
credit risk by product, industry sector and by country are approved by the Board of Directors.

Fair value of trading derivatives is recognised in the income statement.
Certain derivative transactions, while providing effective economic hedges under the Bank’s risk management
positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific Czech accounting rules and are therefore
presented above as trading derivatives with fair value gains and losses recognised in the income statement.
The tables above provide a detailed breakdown of the nominal or notional amounts and the fair value of
the Bank’s derivative financial instruments outstanding at year end. These instruments, comprising foreign
exchange and interest rate derivatives allow the Bank and its customers to transfer, modify or reduce their
foreign exchange and interest rate risks.
The nominal or notional amounts provide a basis for volume comparison with instruments recognised on the
balance sheet but do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price risk.
(e) Currency risk
The Bank takes on exposure resulting from fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its
financial position and cash flows. The Board of Directors sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and
in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily.
The table below summarises the Bank’s exposure to currency risk. Included in the table are the Bank’s
foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by currency.

(f) Interest rate risk
The Bank takes on exposure resulting from fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its
financial position and cash flows. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce
or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Board of Directors sets limits on the level
of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored daily.

(g) Liquidity risk
The Bank is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts,
maturing deposits, loan draw downs, guarantees and from margin and other calls on cash settled derivatives.
The Bank does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum
level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. The Board sets limits
on the minimum proportion of maturing funds available to meet such calls and on the minimum level of
interbank and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of
demand.
The table below analyses assets and liabilities of the Bank into relevant maturity bands based on the remaining
period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.

RISK MANAGEMENT
92
The Bank takes a conservative approach to risk
management. It has to cope with the following
risks, whose structure and impact it maintains at
a reasonable level: credit and market risk, liquidity
and operational risk.
In the process of risk management the Bank follows
the legislation in force, principles laid down by the
group headquarters, and the group companies’
know-how.
The Bank’s Board of Directors approves the Bank’s
strategy in risk management. It has developed
a risk management system in compliance with this
strategy, based on strict organisational separation
of sales and risk management. The strategy is also
in compliance with the Basle Committee rules. It
operates a quality control system based on the ‘four
eyes principle’ and in compliance with criteria for
the assessment of risks and internal limit adequacy.
Credit risk management
The Bank’s credit policy applies the most important
principles of credit risk management. These
principles comply with the Group’s credit policy and
include a definition of target client groups and limits
set for the individual sectors.
Furthermore, approval powers and responsibilities
in the credit process are clearly defined. In the
credit process the principle of clear organisational
separation of sales and risk management is
maintained and both sections are represented in
the approval process. Responsibilities and credit
process control mechanisms are defined by
internal regulations and the Bank’s internal control
system. All the Bank’s internal controls comply with
measures of the Czech National Bank, and together
with specimen contract documentation, they are
up-dated on an ongoing basis.
In the area of collateral valuation the Bank applies
a prudent approach, in particular in real estate
valuation.
In 2002 the Bank started in co-operation with the
group headquarters to implement the corporate
internal rating system, the so-called VB-Corporate
Rating System. This is one of projects of the
Basel Committee rules application and it will help
to improve risk management in the area of risk
procedures and identification of probable loan
losses. It is also preparing, in co-operation with
the group headquarters, internal ratings for other
client segments, such as the municipality sector,
self-employed individuals using single-entry
bookkeeping, project funding, and private
individuals.
The Bank’s Board of Directors and Management
are regularly informed about the quality and
development of the loan portfolio.
Despite the Bank’s conservative approach to risk
management, new loans granted in 2002 increased
the total loan value to CZK 12.672 bil., which
compared with the previous period is an increase
of approximately 44%. During the same period the
proportion of the Bank’s classified loans decreased
from 17.03% in 2001 to 12.08% in 2002. At the
same time, according to figures issued by the
Czech National Bank at 31 December 2002, the
proportion of classified loans in the banking sector
was 16.78%.
Market risk management
Market risk represents the risk of a loss resulting
from changing prices, FX rates and financial market
rates. It comprises interest rate, currency, share
and other risks related to market price fluctuations.
Responsibilities and control mechanisms in the
market risk management process are addressed
by the Bank’s internal regulations and the internal
control system.
The objectives of the market risk management
process include:
•
•
the Bank’s ability to cope with economic and
market changes;
maintain a positions structure which will not
expose the Bank to excessive market risks;
development and set up of GAP-analysis
systems which enable to react to the changes
in the market development quickly and flexibly;
identification of weak points, where the Bank
has to cope with excessive market risks.
•
The main instrument for market risks management
is a set of limits for individual types of market risks.
Limit compliance is monitored on an ongoing basis
and is regularly reported to Assets and Liabilities
Committee meetings that stipulate market risk
management strategy and objectives. If any limits
are exceeded emergency measures are taken and
open positions, the cause for excess is identified
and appropriate countermeasures are taken. In
2003 the Bank plans to implement the Kondor+
system in co-operation with the group headquarters
to support market risk management on the Group
level.
•
Currency risk
The Bank deals with currencies in both Czech and
international markets. All limits are included in the
Group’s structure of limits. In the FX area the Bank
concentrates on client trading. In the inter-bank
market the Bank’s transactions focus on hedging
of positions resulting from trading with clients
and further, to a limited extent, the Bank makes
transactions to hedge its own positions.
•
•
•
•
•
•
open positions are monitored and assessed
on an ongoing basis with regard to potential
risks;
•
•
•
the trading and banking portfolio is monitored
as a whole and operational management is
performed on a case-by-case basis;
the Bank has introduced internal limits for
currency risk management, based on limits
stipulated by the Czech National Bank;
currency risk management policy monitors
both intra day and overnight limits compliance;
the Bank does not conclude speculative
derivative contracts;
derivatives are used exclusively for hedging of
clients’
trading positions;
market valuation of derivatives follows the
policy of the Czech National Bank and
obligatory accounting principles;
currency positions are re-valued daily in
compliance with the effective policy.
Interest rate risk
The aim in the interest rate risk management is to
ensure that the interest rate structure is optimal
for the Bank considering the daily interest rate
fluctuations.
•
•
the Bank monitors the risk daily using GAP
analysis;
for the year 2003 the Bank is preparing
accession to the direct interest rate risk
management using a wide-spread GAP
method (a set of limits), stress scenarios and
models, a system for simulation of the impact
of changes in market conditions on the level of
risk to face;
the Bank uses internally developed
applications for interest rate risk assessment
and monitoring;
the trading and banking portfolio is monitored
as a whole, operational management is
performed on a case-by-case basis;
93
•
•
interest risk is monitored by key currencies
(CZK, EUR);
to hedge interest rate positions, the Bank uses
derivative transactions.
Limit compliance is monitored on a daily basis:
•
•
Equity market risk
The Bank has introduced and approved limits for
equity trading in Czech and international markets.
All limits are included in the Group’s structure of
limits.
The Bank did not hold any equities in its portfolio in
2002 and was not therefore exposed to this risk.
94
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of loss arising from the
Bank’s inability to meet its financial obligations.
Liquidity risk arises from financing which does
not impeach the imbalance between assets and
liabilities maturity or the permanent bank’s losses or
general liquidity crises on the whole market.
Liquidity management is based on the planning
of future inflows and outflows of funds based on
clients’ pay-off agreements, based on signed
contract loans that oblige the bank to certain
activities and also based on experience acquired
from analysis of past developments.
The Bank monitors every day net cash flows for
the period of five business days in advance for
each main currency in its management information
system.
An estimated cash flow, actual liquidity report, basic
and alternate scenarios are processed for each
main currency. The Bank sets limits for each main
currency separately and in the aggregate for all
currencies.
•
ratio of quick liquid assets to client deposits
up to 3 months
ratio of assets up to 3 months to client
deposits up to 3 months
ratio of assets up to 1 year to client deposits
up to 1 year.
Internal limits comply with measures of the Czech
National Bank.
In addition to the business plan and planned
balance structure, the Bank draws up a liquidity
plan. It is approved by the Board of Directors
together with the business plan and the two plans
are closely linked.
The Bank’s internal regulations clearly define the
process of emergency plan development and steps
to be taken to increase liquidity for the purpose of
liquidity management in an emergency threatening
the Bank’s liquidity.
In 2002 liquidity limits were complied with and
liquidity was sufficient.
Operational risk
Operational risk constitutes a substantial part of the
Bank’s risk policy. It may be defined as the risk of
a loss incurred as a result of inadequacy or failure
of internal procedures, people or systems, or due to
external circumstances. The Bank is going to take
part in a project for comprehensive management
and monitoring of operational risks, applying the
Basel Committee rules and directed by the group
headquarters.
