Translation of the Independent Auditors’ Report Issued in the Serbian language

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Shareholders of Vojvođanska banka a.d., Novi Sad We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vojvođanska banka a.d., Novi Sad (the “Bank”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the related income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the statistical annex. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Law on Accounting of the Republic of Serbia and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia governing financial reporting of banks, as well as for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and the Law on Audit of the Republic of Serbia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Bank’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2013, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting regulations of the Republic of Serbia and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia governing financial reporting of banks.

2.5. Comparative Information

Comparative information includes the Bank’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

2.6. Use of Estimates

The presentation of the financial statements requires the Bank’s management to make best estimates and reasonable assumptions that effect asset and liability amounts, disclosure of contingent liabilities and receivables at the date of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the income and expenses arising during the account period. These estimations and assumptions are based on information available to us at the date of preparation financial statements. However, actual results may vary from these estimates. The review of the significant accounting estimates is provided in Note 3.24.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1. Interest Income and Expense

Interest income and expense, including penalty interest and other income and other expenses from interest bearing assets, i.e. liabilities are recognized on an accrual basis based on obligatory terms defined by a contract signed between the Bank and a customer.

12 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.1. Interest Income and Expense (Continued)

Loan origination fees, which are charged, collected or paid on a one-time basis in advance, are deferred and amortized to interest earned on loans and advances over the life of the loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield.

Interest is suspended and disclosed within off-balance sheet items after 90 days in delinquency of the repayment of the loan (“non-performing loans”).

3.2. Fee and Commission Income and Expense

The Bank earns/pays fee and commission from rendering and using the banking services. Fees and commissions are generally recognized on an accrual basis when the service has been provided, i.e. rendered.

Fees and commissions are mostly earned by rendering services of payment transaction services, loan administration, issuance of guarantees, as well as other services. Corporate and retail loans’ origination fees are deferred over the life of the loan, and are recorded within interest income.

3.3. Foreign Currency Translation

Balance sheet and income statement items stated in the financial statements are valued by using currency of primary economic environment (functional currency). As disclosed in Note 2.2., the accompanying financial statements are stated in thousand of Dinars (RSD), which represents the functional and official reporting currency of the Bank. Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into Dinars at the official exchange rate determined on the Interbank Foreign Currency Market, prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into Dinars at the official exchange rate determined on the Interbank Foreign Currency Market, prevailing at the balance sheet date (Note 41).

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising upon the translation of assets, liabilities and transactions are credited or debited as appropriate, to the income statement, as foreign exchange gains or losses (Note 8). Gain or losses arising upon the translation of financial assets and liabilities with contacted foreign currency clause are credited or debited as appropriate, to the income statement, as gains/losses from changes in value of assets and liabilities (Notes 15 and 16). Commitments and contingencies denominated in foreign currency are translated into dinars at the official middle exchange rate of the National Bank of Serbia prevailing at the balance sheet date.

3.4. Financial Instruments

All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value (usually equal to the consideration paid) including any directly attributable incremental costs of acquisition or issue, except for financial assets and financial liabilities which are valued at fair value through profit and loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulations or conventions on the market, are recognized on the trade date or settlement date, i.e., on the date when the Bank commits to purchase or sell the assets or the date when the Bank commits to receive or transfer the assets. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Bank’s balance sheet on the date upon which the Bank becomes counterparty to the contractual provisions of a specific financial instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.4. Financial Instruments (Continued)

“Day 1” Profit When the transaction price in a non-active market is different to the fair value from other observable current market transaction in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include data from observable markets, the Bank immediately recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (“Day 1” profit) in the income statement.

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Financial assets cease to be recognized when the Bank loses control of the contractual rights governing such instruments; which occurs when the rights of use of such instruments have been realized, expired, abandoned, and/or ceded.

When the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Bank’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a “guarantee” over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Bank could be required to repay.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income statement.

Reclassification of Financial Assets

Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near-term.

Reclassifications are made at fair values as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortized cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made.

Classification of Financial Instruments The Bank’s management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition. Classification of financial instruments upon initial recognition depends on the purposes for which financial instruments have been obtained and their characteristics.

The Bank classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as follows:

3.4.1. Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

This category includes trading securities that have been primarily acquired for generating profit from short-term price fluctuations. Trading securities are stated in the balance sheet at fair value.

Trading securities include shares of banks and enterprises, as well as other securities issued by banks and corporate entities.

Changes in fair value of trading securities are credited or debited as appropriate, to the income statement, as gains/losses from changes in value of assets and liabilities.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.4. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.4.2. Loans and Advances

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. All loans and advances are recognized when cash is transferred to borrowers. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value.

At the reporting date, loans and advances originated by the Bank are stated at the amount of principal outstanding, less allowance for impairment, which are based on the evaluation of specifically-identified exposures and also cover losses that are inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The effects of non-application of effective interest rate in accordance with IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,” requiring that loans be measured at amortized cost by applying the effective interest rate method, in the management’s opinion, are not material for loans and advances to customers and the financial statements on the whole, as the Bank approves loans at variable interest rates, while the one-off fees collected in advance are deferred throughout the loan repayment period (Note 3.2).

Loans, which are disbursed in Dinars and index-linked to the EUR exchange rate or to the retail price growth, are revaluated in accordance with the provisions stated under the individual loan agreements. The difference between the carrying amount of loan and the amount calculated applying the foreign currency clause is disclosed within loans and advances. Gains and losses resulting from the application of foreign currency clause are recorded in the income statement, as gains/losses from changes in value of assets and liabilities.

Impairment of Financial Assets and Provision for Risks

In accordance with its internal policy, the Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event“) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulties, defaults or delinquencies in interest or principal payments, probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

In accordance with the internal methodology, if there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired, the Bank calculates the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows as discounted at the effective interest rate in accordance with the requirements of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, for the corporate customers which meet the criteria prescribed by the internal methodology, whereas, for all other placements, the allowance for impairment is estimated on portfolio basis. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics and the Bank’s internal grading system by an asset type, industry, delinquency in servicing interest or principal, activity, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors. Future cash flows on a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of contracted cash flows and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the years on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. The Bank regularly reviews the methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows in order to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.4. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.4.2. Loans and Advances (Continued)

The carrying amount of the loan is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the impairment loss arising from impairment of loans and receivables, as well as other financial assets measured at amortized cost, is recognized in the income statement as impairment losses on financial assets (Note 11). Loans together with the associated allowance for impairment are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and when collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Bank. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the income statement (Note 11).

Bank in 2011. year formed a committee for write off debts and receivables. Writing off of uncollectible debts and receivables is in accordance with the write off policy.

3.4.3. Rescheduled Loans

Where possible, the Bank seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment period as well as changes in the loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. The management continuously reviews renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. Rescheduled loans are subject of individual impairment assessment, discounted by using the original effective interest rate.

3.4.4. Securities Held-to-Maturity

Held-to-maturity securities are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Bank’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity include discounted bills of exchange initially recorded at cost. Securities held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discounts or premiums on acquisition, over the period to maturity. The Bank performs individual assessment in order to determine whether there is objective evidence on impairment of the investment into securities held-to-maturity. If there are objective evidence that such securities have been impaired, the amount of impairment loss for investments held to maturity is calculated as the difference between the investments’ carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the investment's original effective interest rate, and it is charged to the income statement (Note 11).

If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases as a consequence of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reduced and effects are credited to the income statement.

3.4.5. Securities Available-for-Sale

Securities intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices are classified as “securities available-for-sale”. Available-for-sale securities include other legal entities’ equity instruments and debt securities. Equity investments comprise equity investments in other legal entities, related parties, shares of companies and banks denominated in Dinars and foreign currencies.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.4. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.4.5. Securities Available-for-Sale (Continued)

Subsequent to the initial measurement, these securities are measured at fair value. The fair values of securities quoted in active markets are based on current bid prices. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised directly in equity with in the Available-for-sale reserves. When the investment is disposed of or impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in the income statement.

Equity instruments in other legal entities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and for which other methods of reasonably estimating fair value are inappropriate are exempt from fair value valuation. These available-for-sale securities are measured at cost, less any allowance for impairment. Dividends earned whilst holding available-for-sale financial instruments are recognized in the income statement as dividend income when the right to receive payment is established. Gains and losses arising from the sale of these securities are credited or debited as appropriate, to the income statement, as gains/losses from sale of available-for-sale securities. In addition, impairment losses on securities available-for-sale, which cannot be deemed to be temporary, are recognized in the income statement.

3.4.6. Issued Financial Instruments and Other Financial Liabilities

Issued financial instruments or their components are classified as liabilities where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Bank having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Deposits from Other Banks and Customers

All deposits from other banks and customers and interest-bearing borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received net of transaction costs, except for financial liabilities through profit and loss. After initial recognition, interest-bearing deposits and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Bank has the indisputable right to postpone the settlement of obligations for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Operating Liabilities

Trade payables and other short-term liabilities are measured at amortized cost, being the amount of the consideration received due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

3.5. Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.6. Financial Derivatives

The Bank uses financial instruments such as currency forward contracts, currency swap and spot contracts for hedging and trading purposes. The Bank has chosen to apply trade date accounting for these transactions.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Derivatives (Continued)

Upon closing forward contracts, the Bank records spot transactions from the contract when they have occurred, recognizing concurrently financial assets and liabilities arising from forward transactions which will be realized in the ensuing period. On daily basis, the Bank measures unrealized forward transactions of forward contracts by crediting/debiting them to prepayments/accruals and the income statement. During the course of 2013, the most common financial derivatives in the Bank included currency swaps used to balance short-term gaps in the Bank’s currency positions and to provide the necessary currency structure on the accounts held abroad.

3.7. Special Reserves for Estimated Losses on Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-balance Sheet

Items

Special reserves against potential losses on balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items are calculated in accordance with the National Bank of Serbia’s Decision on the Classification of Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-balance Sheet Items (“RS Official Gazette”, no. 94/2011, 57/2012, 123/2012 and 43/2013). All receivables (balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposure) from a single borrower are classified in categories from A to D in accordance with the assessment of their recoverability. Individual credit exposures are evaluated based upon the borrower's character and payment record, which correspond to the number of days the payments are overdue, overall financial position, as well as the quality of collateral. Through its internal enactments, the Bank has defined the criteria and methodology for determining special provisions against potential losses within percentages prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia decision, in line with the assessment of individual credit risk exposure based on borrower’s defaults in contractual payments of principal or interest, financial position, adequacy of cash flows and quality and value of collateral. In accordance with the classification of receivables and pursuant to the aforementioned Decision of the National Bank of Serbia, the amount of the special reserves against potential losses is calculated by applying the following percentages on placements: A - 0%, B - 2%, V - 15%, G - 30% and D – 100%. Special reserves for estimated losses are reduced by allowances for impairment of balance sheet assets and provisions against losses on off-balance sheet items, which are calculated in accordance with the Bank’s accounting policy disclosed in Note 3.4.2, and are charged to the income statement (Note 11).

The Bank is obliged to determine the amount of the needed reserves for estimeted losses, which represents the sum of positive differences between the reserve for estimated losses calculated in accordance with the stipulated NBS Decision and the determined amount of allowances for impairment of balance sheet assets and reserves for losses per off-balance sheet items at debtor level. If the amount of allowances for impairment of balance sheet assets and reserves for losses per off-balance sheet items is larger than the amount of reserves for estimated losses calculated at debtor level, the Bank is not obligated to calculate needed reserve for estimated losses for balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items.

Needed reserve for estimated losses for balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items represents deductable item from Bank’s capital in accordance with the NBS Decision by which the capital adequacy of the Bank is determined.

3.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, cheques in the course of collection, balances on current accounts held with other banks, giro account balances and other cash equivalents (Note 18).

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.9. Repurchase Agreements (“Repo transactions”)

Securities bought under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date (‘repos’) are recognized in the balance sheet. The corresponding cash given, including accrued interest is recognized in the balance sheet. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement.

Securities purchased from the National Bank of Serbia under agreements to resell, pursuant to the provisions of the General Agreement on the Sale of Securities with an Obligation to repurchase, are stated at amortized cost at the balance sheet date.

3.10. Investments in Subsidiaries

Subsidiary is a legal entity in which the Bank possesses a stake of more than 50 percent, or otherwise holds more than half of voting rights, or the right to manage the financial (business) policy of the subsidiary.

Equity investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost, less allowance for impairment (Note 23).

3.11. Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment mostly comprise buildings, equipment and leasehold improvements. As of 31 December 2013, buildings are stated at their revaluated cost, as determined by independent valuation performed in 2005, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The appraisal of the buildings was performed by an independent appraiser based on the respective asset’s market value for existing use.

The frequency of revaluations depends upon the changes in fair values of the items of building being revaluated. If an asset’s carrying value is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is credited directly to equity under the heading of revaluation surplus. If an asset’s carrying value is decreased as a result of an appraisal, the decrease is recognized in the income statement as an expense, within losses from changes in value valuation of assets and liabilities. Buildings acquired in the period from 2006 to 2013 are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the price billed by suppliers together with all costs incurred in bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to income statement of the financial period in which they are incurred.

Assets under construction are stated at cost.

Intangible assets consist of licenses, software and similar rights, as well as leasehold improvements in business premises under long-term lease. Intangible assets also include capitalized salaries of employees involved in projects’ development. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognized as an expense as incurred.

Intangible assets are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

The principal annual depreciation rates in use for classes of property and equipment are as listed below:

Buildings 2.0% Computer equipment 20.0% Leasehold improvements 20.0% - 50.0% Furniture and other equipment 6.7% - 14.3% Vehicles 14.3% - 20.0% Other equipment 6.7% -20.0% Licenses 20.0% Other intangible assets 20.0%

Calculation of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment commences at the beginning of month following the month when an asset is put into use. Assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation charge is recorded as an expense during the period in which it is incurred. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease.

The useful lives of the assets are reviewed periodically, and adjusted if necessary at each reporting date. Change in the expected useful life of an asset is considered as a change in an accounting estimate.

Gains from the disposal of property and equipment are credited directly to other operating income, whereas any losses arising on the disposal of property and equipment are charged to other operating expenses. The calculation of the depreciation and amortization for tax purposes is determined by the Law on Corporate Income Tax (“RS Official Gazette” no. 25/2001, 80/2002, 43/2003, 84/2004 and 18/2010,101/2011,119/2012, 47/2013 and 108/2013) and the Rules on the Manner of Fixed Assets Classification in Groups and Depreciation for Tax Purposes (“RS Official Gazette”, no. 116/2004 and 99/2010). Different depreciation methods used for the financial reporting purposes and the tax purposes give raise to deferred taxes (Note 17(c)).

3.12. Investment Property

The Bank owns property as investments to generate profits from rents and/or increases in property value on the market. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of investment property is calculated using the straight-line method in order to fully write off the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives, by applying the annual depreciation rate of 2%.

3.13. Fixed assets available for sale

During 2013, the Bank has reclassified part of investment properties and prefabricated buildings classified as fixed assets on non-current assets held for sale. The reason for reclassification is the intention of the Bank’s management to sell these assets within a year. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and shall not be depreciated.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.13. Fixed assets available for sale (Continued) In order fixed assets to be reclassified to assets available for sale it is necessary the non-current asset to be available for immediate sale in its present condition and the recoverability of the carrying amount through sale transaction must meet the following criteria:

– The appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset – An active program to locate a buyer and to complete the sales plan must have been initiated; – The asset must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current

fair value – The sale should be expected to be completed within 12 months from the date of

classification as “held for sale”; – Actions required to complete the sales plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes

to the sales plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. 3.14. Impairment of Non-financial Assets

In accordance with adopted accounting policy, at each reporting date, the Bank’s management reviews the carrying amounts of the Bank’s intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment property. If there is any indication that such assets have been impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Impairment losses, representing a difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of tangible and intangible assets, are recognized in the income statement as required by IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.

Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

3.15. Assets acquired through foreclosure proceedings

In certain circumstances, property is repossessed following the foreclosure on loans that are in default. Assets acquired through foreclosure proceedings are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and reported within “Other assets” (Note 27).

3.16. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains lease elements, is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the assets.

(a) Finance Lease – Bank as a Lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Bank substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments and included in property and equipment with the corresponding liability to the lessor included in other liabilities.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Bank will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income statement in interest expense.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.16. Leases (Continued)

(b) Operating Lease – Bank as a Lessee

A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer to the Bank substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

The total payments made under operating leases are charged to other operating expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease (Note 14).

3.17. Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. In order to be maintained, the best possible estimates of provisions are considered, determined and, if necessary, adjusted at each balance sheet date. When the outflow of the economic benefits is no longer probable in order to settle legal or constructive liabilities, provisions are derecognised in income. Provisions are taken into account in accordance with their type and they can be used only for the expenses they were recognised initially for. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in the financial statements (Note 38), unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

3.18. Equity

Equity consists of share capital (ordinary shares), share premium, reserve from profit, revaluation reserves and retained earnings (Note 34(a)). Gains determined by valuation of buildings are recorded within revaluation reserves (Note 3.11.). Positive effects of valuation of buildings are transferred to the retained earnings in the amount representing the difference between depreciation calculated on the value of buildings before and after the valuation, while, in case of sale and disposal, the remaining amount of the positive effects of valuation contained in revaluation reserves is transferred completely to the retained earnings. Gains and losses arising from fair value adjustments of securities available-for-sale are also recorded within revaluation reserves (Note 3.4.5.).

3.19. Financial Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank gives financial guarantees, consisting of payment guarantees and performance bonds, letters of credit, acceptances and other warranties. Financial guarantees are contracts which obligate the issuer of a guarantee to perform the payment or compensate the loss to the holder of a guarantee, incurred if a certain creditor fails to settle its liabilities in due time as required under the terms of the contract. Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the financial statements at fair value as of the date the guarantee is given. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Bank’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amortized premium and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligations arising as a result of the guarantee. Any increase in the liability relating to the financial guarantees is recognized in the income statement. The premium received is recognized in the income statement within net fees and commissions income on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.20. Employee Benefits

(a) Employee Taxes and Contributions for Social Security

In accordance with the regulations prevailing in the Republic of Serbia, the Bank has an obligation to pay taxes and contributions to various state social security funds. These obligations involve the payment of contributions on behalf of the employee, by the employer in an amount calculated by applying the specific, legally-prescribed rates. The Bank is also legally obligated to withhold contributions from gross salaries to employees, and on their behalf to transfer the withheld portions directly to the appropriate government funds. The Bank has no legal obligation to pay further benefits due to its employees by the Pension Fund of the Republic of Serbia upon their retirement. These taxes and contributions payable on behalf of the employee and employer are charged to expenses in the period in which they arise.

(b) Other Employee Benefits – Retirement Benefits

In accordance with the Labour Law, there is a mandatory retirement indemnity equal to 3 average monthly salaries realized in the Republic of Serbia in the month prior to the month of retirement or equal to 3 average salaries in the Bank, i.e., 3 average salaries of an employee earned in the month prior to retirement or to payment – depending on what is more favourable for an employee. The Bank recognized provision in the amount of present value of expected future payments, based on the actuarial calculation. As of 31 December 2013, the Bank made provision for retirement benefits (as adjusted by the amount of retirement benefits paid to employees who accepted early retirement pursuant to the restructuring program), using the following assumptions:

Average salary growth rate for the period 5.7% per annum Discount rate 7% Long-term retail price growth index 4.2% per annum

(c) Short-Term Compensated Absences

Accumulating compensated absences may be carried forward and used in future periods if the current period’s entitlement has not been fully used. In the instance of non-accumulating compensated absences, no liability or expense is recognized until the time of the absence.

(d) Pension Funds

The Bank does not have defined benefit plans or share-based remuneration options, and therefore there are no identified liabilities with respect to these matters as of 31 December 2013.

3.21. Taxes and Contributions

(a) Income Taxes

Current Income Tax

Current income tax is calculated and paid in accordance with the effective Law on Corporate Income Tax (“RS Official Gazette”, no. 25/2001, 80/2002, 43/2003, 84/2004 and 18/2010, 101/2011, 119/2012, 47/2013 and 108/2013) and by-laws. Income tax is payable at the rate of 15% on the tax base reported in the annual corporate income tax return, and can be reduced by any applicable tax credits. The tax base includes the taxable profit, determined by adjusting the taxpayer’s result reported in the income statement, in the manner prescribed by this Law.

23 Translation of the Auditors’ Report issued in the Serbian language

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.21. Taxes and Contributions (Continued)

(a) Income Taxes (Continued)

Current Income Tax (Continued) In accordance with the Law on Corporate Income Tax, tax credit is recognized in the amount equal to 20% of the investments in own property and equipment used to perform the core activities, but it cannot exceed 33% of a tax liability in the year in which the investment was made. The non-utilised part of the tax credit in respect of investments in property and equipment can be carried forward to the profit tax account in the future accounting periods, but not for longer than ten years. In each year, the tax credit deriving from investments made in that year is to be applied first, and thereafter, the carried forward tax credits from previous years are to be used in the order of investment, up to the limit of 33% of calculated tax in a stated year. The tax regulations in the Republic of Serbia do not envisage that any tax losses of the current period can be used to recover taxes paid within a specific previous period. Losses of the current period may be transferred to the account of profit determined in the annual tax return from the future accounting periods, but not longer than 5 ensuing years (in accordance with the amendments to the Law in 2010).

Corporate income tax rate for 2013 is15%.

Deferred Income Tax

Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The currently-enacted tax rates or the substantively-enacted rates at the balance sheet date are used to determine the deferred income tax amount. For calculation of deferred taxes rate of 15% was applicable. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forwards of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and unused tax credits and unused tax losses carry forward can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Current and deferred taxes are recognized as income or expense and are included in net profit for the period. Deferred income taxes related to items that are recorded directly in equity are also recognized in equity.

(b) Taxes, Contributions and Other Duties Not Related to Operating Result

Taxes, contributions and other duties that are not related to the Bank’s operating result, include property taxes, value added tax, employer contributions on salaries, and various other taxes and contributions paid pursuant to republic and municipal regulations. These taxes and contributions are included within other operating expenses (Note 14).

3.22. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period.

3.23. Funds Managed on Behalf of Third Parties

The funds that the Bank manages on behalf of, and for the account of third parties, are disclosed within off-balance sheet items (Note 35(a)). The Bank bears no risk in respect of repayment of these placements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 3.24. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Bank’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as income and expenses for the reporting period.

These estimations and related assumptions are based on information available as of the date of preparation of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and changes in estimates are recognized in the periods in which they become known.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

(a) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, and impairment losses are incurred, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event“) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated (see Note 3.4.).

Loan portfolio is individually assessed for impairment losses on quarterly basis and collectively assessed for impairments losses on monthly basis. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Bank makes judgments as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. The evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers of a Bank, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets of the Bank.

The Bank’s management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

(b) Determination of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets as of the balance sheet date is based on their quoted market prices, without any deductions for transaction costs. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined using the appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist and other relevant valuation models. When market inputs are not available, they are determined by estimates that include a certain degree of assumptions in the estimate of fair value. Valuation models reflect the current market conditions before or after the measurement date. Consequently, all valuation techniques are revised periodically, in order to appropriately reflect the current market conditions.

(c) Impairment of Equity Investments

The Bank deems equity investments to be impaired when there is a documented (market data) or estimated decrease in the fair value of these asset below their cost.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.24. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Continued)

(d) Useful Lives of Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment

The determination of the useful lives of intangible assets, property and equipment is based on historical experience with similar assets as well as any anticipated technological development and changes in broad economic or industry factors. The appropriateness of the estimated useful lives is reviewed annually, or whenever there is an indication of significant changes in the underlying assumptions.

(e) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Bank’s management reviews the carrying amounts of the Bank’s intangible assets and property and equipment presented in the financial statements. If there is any indication that such assets have been impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

An impairment review requires management to make subjective judgments concerning the cash flows, growth rates and discount rates of the cash generating units under review.

(f) Provisions for Litigations

The Bank is subject to a number of claims incidental to the normal conduct of its business, relating to and including commercial, contractual and employment matters, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. The Bank routinely assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as ranges of probable and reasonable estimated losses. Reasonable estimates involve judgments made by management after considering information including notifications, settlements, estimates performed by legal department, available facts, identification of other potentially responsible parties and their ability to contribute, and prior experience.

A provision is recognised when it is probable that an obligation exists for which a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation after careful analysis of the individual matter. The required provision may change in the future due to new developments and as additional information becomes available. Matters that are either possible obligations or do not meet the recognition criteria for a provision are disclosed, unless the possibility of transferring economic benefits is remote.

(g) Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all tax losses and/or tax credits to the extent to which taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses /credits can be utilised. Significant estimate of the management is necessary to determine the amount of deferred tax assets which can be recognized, based on the period of in which it was created and the amount of future taxable profits and the tax policy planning strategy (Note 17).

(h) Retirement and Other Post-Employment Benefits to Employees

The costs of defined employee benefits payable upon the termination of employment, i.e. retirement in accordance with the legal requirements are determined based on the actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation includes an assessment of the discount rate, future movements in salaries, mortality rates and fluctuations in the number of employees. As these plans are long-term ones, significant uncertainties influence the outcome of the assessment. Additional information is disclosed in Note 3.20(b) to the financial statements.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT

37.1. Introduction The Risk Management in the Bank is performing through two divisions and specialised departments under their responsibility: Risk Management Division (Portfolio and classification management department; Credit risk models department; Market risk management department; Operational risk management department; and Basel II and risk management transformation department) Credit Risk Management Division (Corporate credit risk department and Retail credit initiation department) With the support of the NBG Group Risk Management Authorities, the Bank established a strong Risk Management system in line with the Group principles, with the following overall objectives: • To establish a set of fundamental standards for risk management across the Bank in order to

maximize earnings potential and provide returns for shareholder. • To support the Bank’s business strategy by ensuring that business objectives are pursued in a risk-

controlled manner in order to preserve earnings stability by protecting against unforeseen losses. • To improve the usage and allocation of capital and to enhance risk adjusted return on capital by

incorporating risks into business performance measures. • To support decision making processes by providing necessary and reasonable risk related

estimates. • To ensure consistency with the best practices and compliance with local regulatory, quantitative and

qualitative requirements. • To ensure the cost-effectiveness of risk management by reducing overlaps and avoiding

inappropriate, excessive or obsolete policies, processes, methodologies, models, controls and systems.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.1. Introduction (Continued)

The Bank distinguishes the two main types of losses: • Expected loss – is the amount expected to be lost on average within a given period of time (e.g.

one year) and is considered as a standard cost of doing business which is provisioned for and taken into account in the pricing of products.

• Unexpected loss – is the statistically estimated loss at a given confidence level (e.g. 99.9%) associated with adverse events and is considered as a risk of doing business. Capital typically serves as a buffer absorbing such losses.

The Bank acknowledges the following major types of banking risks arising from its activities: Credit Risk Credit risk – the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from credit beneficiary’s failure to discharge contractual obligations to the Bank or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Pre-settlement risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from a counterparty’s default on off-balance sheet products, where the credit equivalent exposure reflects both the current replacement cost (marked to market) of the product plus an estimate of the Bank’s potential future credit exposure from the product as a result of prevailing market prices. Settlement risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from a counterparty’s default on transactions in the process of being settled and where the sold asset or cash has been delivered to the counterparty but the purchased asset or cash has not yet been received in return as expected. Residual risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from the fact that recognized risk measurement and mitigation techniques used (e.g. collaterals, guarantees, netting agreements), prove less effective than expected. Market Risk – the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from adverse changes in market prices of bonds, shares, trading commodity and derivatives in the trading book. This risk arises in market making, dealing, and position taking activities. This risk comprises: Equity instruments risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from changes in the direction or volatility of equity instruments/equity derivatives prices indices or changes in the relationship between different equity instruments/equity derivatives prices indices. Foreign exchange risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from movements in spot and forward currency exchange rates in the banking book and the trading book. Interest rate risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from changes in the direction or volatility of interest rates/interest rate derivatives, the shape of the yield curve and the spread between different interest rates that affect the trading book positions. Commodity risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from changes in the direction or volatility of commodity/commodity derivatives prices, the spread between spot and forward commodity prices and the relationship between different commodity/commodity derivatives prices. Furthermore, market risks include: Underwriting risk – the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from underwriting commitments in the trading book on bonds, equity investments or other securities. Market liquidity risk – refers to market positions, which cannot be sold within a desired time period or only at a discount. Such are the cases of securities/derivatives in illiquid markets, or when large positions that cannot be sold easily are held.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.1. Introduction (Continued)

Operational risk – is the risk of possible adverse effects on financial result and capital of the bank caused by omissions (unintentional and intentional) in employees' work, inadequate internal procedures and processes, inadequate management of information and other systems, as well as by unforeseeable external events. This definition specifies the broad categories of operational risk sources and in particular: • Processes – refers to losses that have been incurred due to a deficiency in an existing procedure,

or the absence of procedure documentation. Losses in this category can result from human error or failure to follow an existing procedure. Process-related losses are unintentional.

• People – refers to losses associated with intentional violation of internal policies by current or former employees. In some specific cases, the risk extends to people who are being considered for employment.

• Systems – reflects losses that are caused by breakdowns in existing systems or technology (IT risk falls in this category). Losses in this category are unintentional. If intentional technology-related losses occur, they would be categorized in either the People or External events.

• External events – reflects losses occurring as a result of natural or man-made forces, or the direct result of a third party action.

IT risk is considered as a subcategory of the operational risk, defined as the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from inadequate information technology and processing in terms of manageability, exclusivity, integrity, controllability and continuity, or arising from an inadequate IT strategy and policy or from inadequate use of the entity’s information technology.

Legal and compliance risk is considered as a subcategory of the operational risk, defined as the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from violations or non compliance with laws, rules, regulations, agreements, prescribed practices, or ethical standards. Liquidity risk – the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from the entity’s inability to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. The definition of liquidity risk includes: Term liquidity and withdrawal/call risk – reflects the potential mismatch of payment obligations to incoming payments, taking into account unexpected delays in repayments (term liquidity risk) or unexpectedly high payment outflows (withdrawal/call risk). Structural liquidity risk (funding liquidity risks) – refers to the cost of liquidity for the purpose of closing liquidity gaps, which would change if refinancing becomes more expensive due to a decline in the Bank’s creditworthiness, or adverse market conditions. Concentration risk – It is acknowledged that the key source of concentration risk is credit concentration risk, which is the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from excessive exposure places with one counterparty or group of related counterparties whose likelihood of default is driven by common underlying factors, e.g. economic sector, industry, geographical location, collateral type. Concentration risk refers both to banking and trading book exposures. Concentration risk can also arise in other risk types, such as: Liquidity concentration risk – relates to funding liquidity risk and arises from the existence of a limited number of funding sources.

Market concentration risk – arises from excessive exposure to specific market risk factors (stock prices/indices, foreign exchange and interest rates). Country risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital, caused by events in a particular country which are at least to some extent under the control of the government but definitely not under the control of a private enterprise or individual. Possible events include deterioration of economic conditions, political and social upheaval, nationalization and expropriation of assets and disruptive currency depreciation or devaluation. This definition includes all forms of cross-border lending in a country whether to the government, a bank, a private enterprise or an individual. It also includes:

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.1. Introduction (Continued)

Sovereign risk, where the government of a certain country cannot service its own debt because it does not have the required amount of foreign currency or is unwilling to service its debts or enters in renegotiation and rescheduling schemes or any other form of technical default. Country risk assessment does not only involve an assessment of willingness of the state to fulfil its obligations, as other factors can also cause losses. In practice, sovereign risk and country risk are highly correlated, considering that the government is the major factor in sovereign and country risk affairs. Transfer risk is defined as the inability of private companies or individuals to fulfil their obligations due to government actions. One example of a transfer risk is when the government imposes prohibitive exchange restrictions, which may make it impossible for private agents to transfer payments. Convertibility risk is defined as the inability of private companies or individuals to fulfil their obligations due to government/central bank actions. One example of a convertibility risk is when the central bank imposes prohibitive foreign exchange controls, which may make it impossible for private agents to convert local to foreign currency payments and vice versa. Finally, the Bank further acknowledges: Strategic risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from changes in the business environment and from adverse business decisions, improper implementation of decisions or lack of responsiveness to changes in the business environment. The Bank treats strategic risk within the processes related to strategic planning at the Group level. Reputation risk - the current or prospective risk of adverse effects to earnings and capital arising from adverse perception of the Bank’s image on the part of customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors or regulators. In order to manage the aforementioned risks, the Bank complies with the relevant decisions of the domestic regulatory bodies, and relies on the following strategic documents: • Bank Risk Strategy, • Corporate Credit Policy, • Local Retail Banking Credit Risk Policy Manual, • Trading book policy, • Liquidity risk management policy, • Strategy, policy and framework for operational risk management, as well as on different methodologies, procedures and guidelines (allowance for impairment of financial assets and provision, assessment of foreign currency risk, other estimates, early collection of receivables, etc.).

37.2. Credit Risk

The Bank has implemented and it maintains appropriate on-going credit underwriting, administration, measurement and monitoring processes, including in particular: – Sufficient and fully documented credit risk policies which are in place (Corporate Credit Policy and

Retail Policies), such ensuring consistency across the Bank and acknowledging key regulatory requirements of the National Bank of Serbia, including the definition of default and credit portfolio segmentation according to regulatory rules (National Bank of Serbia, Basel II).

– Adequate, well-defined credit granting criteria based on the Bank’s strategy, the borrower or counterparty and the transaction, as well as the purpose and structure of the credit and its source of repayment.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.2. Credit Risk (Continued)

– Credit limits that aggregate in a comparable and meaningful manner different types of exposures, at

various levels: Individual borrowers and counterparties, Groups of related borrowers and counterparties, Industry/sector limits, and Product limits (loans, bonds, derivatives, etc.).

– Clearly established procedures for approving new loans as well as the amendment, renewal and re-financing of existing loans, while any exceptions are monitored with particular care taking appropriate steps to control or mitigate the relevant risks.

– Consistent credit grading/scoring tools to standardize and enhance credit risk assessment and portfolio management (RM3 corporate credit risk rating system, introduced during 2008 and Scorecards for the Retail Lending) to support a robust credit assessment process.

– Adequate and detailed procedures covering all aspects of the credit related activities. – Information systems and analytical techniques that enable measurement of credit risk inherent in all

relevant activities, providing adequate information on the composition of the credit portfolio, including identification of any concentration of risk.

– The monitoring process that covers the condition of individual credits, including determining the adequacy of provisions and reserves, as well as the overall composition and quality of the credit portfolio, taking into consideration potential future changes in economic conditions and allowing the assessment of credit risk exposures under stressful conditions.

The Bank has ensured adequate internal controls over the credit risk related processes, including: – Segregation of lending business functions from loan approval, monitoring and follow-up and credit

portfolio management functions. – Approving Committees for all types of credit exposure, with escalation of credit authorization in

accordance with the level of the exposure. – Participation of the Credit Risk Division in such Committees under a veto right. – Proper management of the credit-granting functions ensuring that credit exposures are within set

limits, while exceptions to policies, procedures and limits are appropriately reported. – Periodical, early remedial actions on deteriorating credits, managing problem credits and similar

workout situations. – Independent, ongoing assessment of the credit risk management processes by Internal Audit,

covering in particular the credit risk systems/models employed by the Bank. The results of such reviews are communicated to the Board of Directors and the Senior Management of the Bank.

For the rating of the corporate customers’ risk, during the course of 2008, the Bank implemented the internal customers’ creditworthiness rating model- RM3, which is subject of data validation and calibration process performed on annual basis . The model has 10 notches with defined obligors' limits in Corporate Credit Policy, and which correspond to estimated Probabilities of Default (PD) as follows:

RATING RISK PD% Limit per debtor in

EUR A1 Fair 0.4 6,000 A2 Fair 0.7 5,000 B1 Fair 1.8 4,000 B2 Moderate 3.3 3,500 C1 Moderate 4.3 3,100 C2 Moderate 6.6 2,700 D1 Significant 9.6 2,400 D2 Significant 14.5 2,100 E1 High 22.9 1,900 E2 High 28.9 1,600

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.2. Credit Risk (Continued)

In accordance with the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia, the Bank regularly examines and classifies its corporate and retail portfolio (A to D scale). For the purposes of this report, A and B rated credit risks may be considered as “Satisfactory”, C as “Special Mention” and G and D as “Unsatisfactory”. In order to mitigate credit risk, the Bank takes different types of collaterals, on which it calculates a securing value with the use of conservative coefficients, which reflect the time needed for the liquidation of the collateral and the uncertainty about the market prices at the time of liquidation. For the calculation of the necessary provisions as per the National Bank of Serbia’s regulations, the Bank recognizes as prime and adequate the collaterals defined in the relevant Decision, when the conditions for their recognition are met. The Bank recognizes committed and uncommitted credit limits and that the unused committed credit limits bear the same credit risk with its used part. Other off-balance sheet items, which bear counterparty credit risk (guarantees, letters of credit, etc.) are also accepted as bearing credit risk, the height of which varies depending on the applicant’s creditworthiness and the purpose of the off-balance sheet item. (a) Maximum Exposure to Credit Risk by Balance Sheet and Off-balance Sheet Items

(c) Default Receivables

The Bank gives special attention to default receivables by monitoring the total outstanding balance and the trend of these loans and advances. Default is monitored at the Bank level and in accordance with the product criteria (for retail customers) and the industrial sector the customer belongs to, as well as the maturity structure (for corporate clients and entrepreneurs). In accordance with the regulations, default receivables related to corporate customers and entrepreneurs are monitored at customer (counter party) level, and, as for retail customers, at the level of individual receivable. As of 31 December 2013, default receivables amount to RSD 15,711,638 thousand (31 December 2012: 17,149,905 thousand). Allowances for impairment of default receivables amount of RSD 10,115,487 thousand (31 December 2012: RSD 11,705,976 thousand). Default off-balance sheet items amount to RSD 101,333 thousand as of 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: RSD 128,376 thousand), while the related provision for those items amounts to zero (31 December 2012 zero).

(d) Rescheduled Loans

The Bank introduced, in 2009, guidelines and/or criteria for rescheduling of corporate and retail loans, based on which rescheduling was performed in 2010,2011,2012 and 2013 as well. Through the aforesaid, the Bank aims to help the debtors/borrowers which are positively assessed as strong enough to overcome the present adverse period to repay properly their debts towards the Bank. Loans to customers, with more significant problems, for which there are doubts about their capability to repay their debts, are not rescheduled.

(d) Rescheduled Loans (Continued) As of 31 December 2013, gross rescheduled loans and advances, including rescheduled loans starting from 2009, amounted to RSD 2,224,118 thousand (31 December 2012: RSD 1,946,082 thousand).

37.3. Liquidity risk

The Bank manages the relevant risk in accordance with its Liquidity Risk Management Policy, updated in 2013, with continued process of regular review, which provides for diversified funding sources in addition to its core deposit base, proper management of assets and liabilities and monitoring of the future cash flows and the liquidity on a daily basis. The Bank daily assesses the expected cash flows in Dinars and foreign currency and the availability of assets which could be used as collaterals to secure additional funding if required.

The Bank manages its assets and liabilities in such a way that it can always fulfill its due obligations and honor its commitments on time.

The Bank’s framework for managing liquidity risk encompasses: • Operating standards relating to liquidity risk, including appropriate policies, procedures and

resources for controlling, limiting and managing liquidity risk. • Maintenance of a stock of liquid assets appropriate for the cash flow profile that can be readily

converted into cash without incurring undue capital losses. • Management of access to funding sources and measurement, control and scenario testing of

funding requirements. • Management information and other systems that identify, measure, monitor and control liquidity

risk. • Contingency plans for handling liquidity disruptions by means of the ability to fund some or all

activities in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. • Liquidity risk limits (e.g. maturity mismatch ratio, liquid asset ratio) taking into account the existing

regulatory limits.

The Bank has established and maintains adequate liquidity measurement, monitoring and control and reporting functions, addressing: • The maturity profile of cash flows under varying scenarios, including scenarios for non-maturing

assets and liabilities (e.g. savings, credit cards). • The stock of liquid assets available to the institution and their market values. • The ability of the Bank to execute assets sales in various markets (notably under adverse

conditions) and to borrow in markets. • Potential sources of volatility in assets and liabilities (including claims and obligations arising from

off-balance sheet business). • The impact of adverse trends in asset quality on future cash flows and market confidence at the

Bank level. • Creditworthiness and capacity of providers of standby facilities to meet their obligations. • The impact of market disruptions on cash flows and customers. • The type of new deposits being obtained, as well as its source, maturity and price. • The regulatory reporting requirements.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.3. Liquidity risk (Continued)

The Market Risk Department of the Risk Management Division is resposnible for the monitoring of the liquidity risk. The daily management of the liquidity is performed by the Treasury Division. The Assets and Liabilities Committee may recommend to the Executive Board measures and actions to improve the maturity structure, and other measures important for the better managing of the liquidity. The level of liquidity is expressed using the ratio of the liquid sum of the first and second level (cash, assets on accounts with other banks, deposits with the National Bank of Serbia, receivables in the process of realization, irrevocable credit lines approved to the Bank, quoted financial instruments and other receivables due within a month) and sum of liabilities on demand without determined maturity date and liabilities with fixed maturity up to a month. In 2013 and 2012, the Bank had in average an indicator of daily liquidity significantly above the prescribed levels by National Bank of Serbia.

The aforementioned ratio in 2013 and 2012 was as presented in the table below:

2012 2012 Average during the period 1.94 2.22 Highest 2.46 3.01 Lowest 1.04 0.98 As of 31 December 2.12 2.04

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.4. Market Risks

The main document, based on which the Bank manages the market risks is the Trading Book Policy, which defines the measurement methodologies, processes and tools, risk limits, reporting and remedial action guidelines and responsibilities, as well as trading book definition, for both accounting and capital adequacy purposes. This Policy was updated in 2013, and it is subject to regular review. Apart from it, several other Regulations are applied, in accordance with the risk strategy, the instructions of the NBG Group and the regulations of the local authorities. The Bank has established and maintains adequate market risk measurement, monitoring, and control functions, including: – Market risk measurement processes that capture all material sources of market risk and assess the

effect of market risk factors’ changed in ways that are consistent with the scope of Bank’s activities. These measurement systems include VaR for the major foreign currencies and models where appropriate.

– Operating limits and other practices that maintain exposures within levels consistent with internal policies, in terms of exposure to individual market risk types, position and loss limits.

– Measurement of vulnerability to loss under stressful market conditions (including the breakdown of key assumptions) considering those results when establishing and reviewing policies and limits for market risks.

– Adequate and effective processes and information systems for measuring, monitoring, controlling and reporting market risk exposures. Relevant IT systems must be sophisticated enough to cover the complexity of trading activities of Bank. Controls (limits) are embedded in these systems. Reports must be provided on a timely basis to the Board of Directors, Executive Board, Senior Management, and all other appropriate levels.

37.4.1. Interest Rate Risk

The Bank is exposed to this risk based on items from the banking book, and it assesses the aforementioned risk in total and per each significant foreign currency for whose definition it has established criteria. In accordance with these criteria, the Bank considers RSD, EUR, USD and CHF to be materially significant currencies. Established Policy for management of interest rate risk in banking book is a document whose main objective is management process identifying, measuring, mitigating, monitoring and reporting of interest rate risk. The Bank’s goal when managing the interest rate risk is to optimise its effect to the changes in interest rate on one hand and the economic value of equity on the other. In determining interest rates the Bank considers market interest rates and their movements. Interest rate changes result in increases or decreases in interest margins. The Market Risk Department of the Risk Management Division monitors the interest rate risk, while the Asset and Liability Management Committee may propose to the Bank’s Executive Board measures and actions for the maturity matching of assets and liabilities based on the Bank’s strategy, on macroeconomic analysis, on forecasts of the Bank’s liquidity and on interest trends analysis for different segments of assets and liabilities.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.4. Market Risks (Continued) 37.4.2. Foreign Currency Risk

The banking operations in different foreign currencies cause the exposure to fluctuation in foreign currencies exchange rates. The Bank manages foreign currency risk, striving to prevent adverse effects of changes in cross-currency rates and foreign exchange rates comparing to dinar (foreign currency losses) on the Bank’s financial result, as well as on customers’ ability to repay loans in foreign currency. For the purposes of protection against the foreign currency risk, the Bank monitors the changes in foreign currency exchange rate on the financial market on daily basis, carries out the policy of low level exposure to the foreign currency risk and contracts the foreign currency clause with its customers, the monitoring results obtained during the simulations of stress test. The Bank has established and maintains adequate FX risk measurement, monitoring and control functions, including an application to daily monitor the open position of the Bank in foreign currencies, which at 31 December 2013, was as follows:

37.5. Exposure/Concentration Risk

The Bank’s exposure risk includes the risk of its exposure to a single person or a group of related parties, as well as its exposure risk to a person related to the Bank. The Bank’s Corporate Lending Policy defines the maximal limits per customer/debtor or a group of customers corresponding to each credit rating notch. Exceptions can be approved only under the consent of the Risk Management Division. At the same time, the above policy complies with the prescribed requirements in respect of exposure risks to a single person or a group of related parties defined by the relevant decisions of the National Bank of Serbia. In 2013, the Bank took care of the adjustment of the exposure risk indicators and performed the appropriate activities envisaged by relevant procedures and decisions on approving loans, secured the compliance of its placements and investments with the indicators prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia (see Note 34(b)).

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) 37.6. Investment Risk

The Bank’s investment risks include equity investments of the Bank in other legal entities’ capital and in property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the National Bank of Serbia legislation, the level of the Bank’s investments and the level of regulatory capital is being monitored by the Risk Management Function in order to ensure that the Bank’s investments in a single non-financial sector entity do not exceed 10% of its capital, while the total investments of the Bank in non-financial entities and in property, plant and equipment cannot exceed 60% of its regulatory capital. In 2013, the Bank maintained the investment risk indicators within the range prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia.

37.7. Country Risk

The Country Risk Management Policy of the Bank defines roles, responsibilities and procedures for the management of the country risk. The Market Risk Department, organized within the Risk Management Function, is responsible for ensuring and monitoring compliance with internally determined limits of exposures per countries and by the region where these countries belong.

37.8. Operational Risk

The Bank treats operational risks as a distinct risk category. Accountability and responsibilities for these risks reside locally, as close as possible to where the risks actually originate. The Bank has approved a firm-wide and high quality Operational Risk Management Framework in order to: – Promote a Bank wide operational risk awareness and management culture further contributing to

process efficiency and control effectiveness; – Establish a set of fundamental standards for Operational Risk Management across the Bank

leading to the avoidance of unexpected and catastrophic losses and the minimization of expected losses;

– Ensure that business objectives are pursued in a risk-controlled manner; – Ensure the cost-effectiveness of operations by reducing overlaps and avoiding excessive or

obsolete controls; – Ensure consistency with relevant best practices and compliance with regulatory (quantitative and

qualitative) requirements, and – Improve the use of capital and enhance return on capital, regarding operational risk.

The Bank’s Operational Risk Management Framework is business and process oriented aiming to be both proactive and reactive in the management of operational risks. The Bank’s Operational Risk Management Framework includes: – Regular monitoring of operational risk exposure; – An operational risk methodology including risk and control self assessment, key risk indicators and

loss data collection; and – The collection of material operational losses at the Bank level.

The Operational Risk Management Framework, including the applicable strategies of controls and mitigation of risks are reviewed periodically and adjusted in accordance with the overall risk profile of the Bank, as prescribed for the operational risk. Data on operational risks are gathered in all organizational units of the Bank. Data is classified and analyzed, and the methods of risk mitigation and its impact reduction are recommended.

During the course of 2009, the Bank developed its Business Continuity Plan in order to respond to unexpected business disruptions of its Critical Divisions and recover their operations in an organized and efficient way.

The Business Continuity Plan aims to: • Ensure the achievement of the desired business recovery and continuity level; • Prevent a Division’s business disruption from having significant impact on another Division’s

business continuity; • Achieve business resumption under the predefined business recovery time period; • Maintain a high level of plan activation and implementation readiness and effectiveness in

relation to the Bank’s critical process recovery; and • Mitigate (if possible) the impact of a potential business disruption and the occurring possibility.

The Disaster Recovery Plan was developed as description of the procedures related to recovery and continuity of the Bank applications, data, hardware, communication and other IT infrastructure, and presumes the existence of an alternative site (Disaster recovery site)).

37.9. Capital Management

The Bank permanently manages its capital, in order to:

- Comply with the capital requirements set by the National Bank of Serbia; - Provide an adequate level of capital so as to enable the Bank to continue its operations as a going

concern; and - Maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.

The Bank’s management monitors regularly the Bank’s capital adequacy ratios and other ratios established by the National Bank of Serbia and delivers quarterly reports on achieved values of ratios. The Bank manages its capital structure and may make adjustments to it, after approval by the NBG Group and in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristic of its activities. The Bank’s strategy of capital management has remained unchanged in comparison with the prior year.

The National Bank of Serbia has defined the following capital limits:

- The minimum amount of the capital of EUR 10 million; and - The minimum of the Capital adequacy ratio of 12%.

In accordance with the Decision on the Capital Adequacy of Banks (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia”, no. 46/2011), the method of calculating the regulatory capital adequacy has been determined.

The Bank’s capital comprises sum of Core Capital (Tier 1) and Supplementary Capital (Tier 2), reduced for deductible items: – Core Capital (Tier 1) includes: Paid up shares (excluding preference cumulative shares); Premium

on issued shares; Reserves allocated from profit; and profit of the Bank; reduced for losses from earlier years; Current year losses; Intangible investments; Acquired own common and preference shares (excluding preference cumulative shares); Common and preference shares (excluding preference cumulative shares) pledged with Bank; and Regulatory value adjustments.

– Supplementary Capital (Tier 2) includes: Paid up preference cumulative shares; Premium on issued shares; Part of positive revaluation reserves; hybrid instruments; subordinated debt; reduced for Own preference cumulative shares; Preference cumulative shares pledged with Bank; and Claims covered by hybrid instruments and subordinated debts of the Bank.

– Deduction items from Capital in case of Bank include: Amount of which is exceeded qualified participation of Bank in non-financial entities; and Amount of needed reserve for estimated losses on balance sheet and off-balance items.

Capital adequacy ratio of the Bank is equal to the ratio of the Bank’s capital and the sum of the credit risk-weighted assets, capital requirement in relation to market risk multiplied with the reciprocal value of the capital adequacy ratio, and capital requirement in relation to operational risk multiplied with the reciprocal value of the capital adequacy ratio.

37.10. Judgements on the Effects of the Global Financial Crisis

The economy of Serbia after recession in 2009 has been started to recover in 2010 effecting growth of real GDP for 1%. Economic recovery underpinned by export increase towards EU has been slowing down during 2011 due to negative effects of second wave of global economic crisis particularly in virtue of weakening of economic growth and financial problems in eurozone Second wave of global crisis during 2012 has caused recession trends in Serbian economy (downfall of real GDP for 1.7%) expressed through downturn of economic activity and foreign trade caused by slow down of foreign and domestic demand and decline of capital inflow from abroad in virtue of investors prudence and deterioration of conditions through world financial markets. In accordance with expectations, during 2013 the economic growth has been accomplished and as well as inflation rate has been restrained in targeted limits and it could be appreciated as well performance in changed post crisis environment.

During all these years (first and second wave of crisis) the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the National Bank of Serbia have undertaken a series of short-term and long-term measures in order to mitigate the effects of the financial crisis, preserve the stability of the banking system in Serbia as well as set down the conditions for reviving economic activity by offering more favourable lending terms and conditions. The Government of the Republic of Serbia has continuously implemented the Plan for the Economic Stability of Serbia ever since March 2009 by means of a range of anti-crisis measures directed towards corporate liquidity maintaining the level of employment unloading of economic subjects and decreasing of public spending.. The package of incentive measures included subsidized loans for corporate liquidity, subsidized consumer loans for purchasing domestic consumer durables, subsidized investment loans, favourable loans for SMEs originating from foreign credit lines and subsidized housing loans.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.10. Judgements on the Effects of the Global Financial Crisis (Continued)

Owing to the comprehensive programme of measures and lending from the IMF, the Government and the National Bank of Serbia have responded to the challenges posed by the economic crisis and maintained the macroeconomic and financial stability. The key role in this process has been played by the fiscal policy which reduced the volume of government spending through its measures and ensured regular payment of current expenses and the implementation of national infrastructure projects. The economic and monetary policies have contributed to mitigating the consequences of the global financial and economic crisis, stabilizing the economic situation and ensuring a steady economic recovery from 2013. The Bank's Management expects that the effects of the global crisis could continue to influence the volume of economic activity, the maintenance of the liquidity of business entities, and the collection rate regarding receivables from borrowers, though with a reduced intensity.

In accordance with the regulatory requirements and measures by the NBS, as well as the internal risk and capital management policies, the Bank conducts appropriate activities which can ensure the provision of adequate capital, the expected growth in credit facilities, future sources of funding and their usage in order to maintain the quality of its credit portfolio.

Such activities particularly include the prudential policy of granting loans, the analysis of debtors’ creditworthiness, obtaining relevant collaterals for securing the collection of receivables, appropriate provisions for credit risks as well as providing the adequate regulatory and internal capital in line with the NBS requirements. The Bank’s Management believes that collection of receivables, risk and capital management and provision of appropriate sources of funding will continue to be the key choices of the Management and the Bank’s managing bodies in the forthcoming period.

The current economic and financial crisis has had a limited effect on the Bank’s financial position and performance so far, mostly owing to the internal acts regarding risk and capital management and the restrictions imposed by the valid legal provisions. In this respect, the Bank has adopted strict procedures for granting loans, assessing and accepting collaterals as well as for the Bank’s liquidity and asset management activities. All types of risks are monitored on a regular basis and a contemporary capital management practice is being developed so as for the Bank to be able to support its desired risk profile, and thereby, the further growth in its operations. It is expected that the capital adequacy will remain at the level which is higher than the one prescribed by the NBS, which should in turn guarantee the continuation of the Bank’s business activities, even in the case of significantly more unfavourable conditions on the market.

The Bank’s Management believes that, under the given circumstances, it is undertaking all the necessary activities for ensuring sustainable growth and development of the Bank.

37.11. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

It is a policy of the Bank to disclose the fair value information of those components of assets and liabilities for which published or quoted market prices are readily available, and of those for which the fair value may be materially different than their carrying amounts. A market price, where an active market exists, is the best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument. However, market prices are not available for a significant number of financial assets and liabilities held by the Bank. Therefore, for financial instruments where no market price is available, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities are estimated using present value or other estimation and valuation techniques based on current prevailing market conditions. In the Republic of Serbia, sufficient market experience, stability and liquidity do not exist for the purchase and sale of receivables and other financial assets or liabilities, for which published market prices are presently not readily available. As a result of this, fair value cannot readily or reliably be determined in the absence of an active market.

The Bank’s management assesses its overall risk exposure, and in instances in which it estimates that the value of assets stated in its books may not have been realized, it recognizes a provision.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.11. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (Continued) In the opinion of the Bank’s management, the reported carrying amounts are the most valid and useful reporting values under the present market conditions, as required under the Law on Audit and Accounting and regulations.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the main categories of financial assets and liabilities at the reporting date:

Carrying Value Fair Value December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, 2013 2012 2013 2012 Financial assets Revocable deposits 11,884,348 12,951,499 11,884,348 12,951,499 Loans and advances 61,005,349 60,640,291 60,964,040 60,339,000 Securities 10,629,455 6,168,556 10,629,455 6,168,556 Total 83,519,152 79,760,346 83,477,843 79,459,055 Financial liabilities Sight deposits 22,528,501 18,387,778 22,528,501 18,387,778 Other deposits 62,018,377 59,878,926 62,166,224 60,158,231 Borrowings 2,728,585 5,230,693 2,728,585 5,230,693 Total 87,275,463 83,497,397 87,423,310 83,776,702

Out of the above listed financial instruments, only securities held for trading and securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value.

Equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and for which other methods of reasonably estimating fair value are inappropriate, are excluded from measurement at fair value and stated at cost less any allowance for impairment.

All other assets and liabilities have been stated at amortised cost and variable interest rates. In regular intervals their cost is predetermined. Consequently, the Bank is not exposed to the risk of changes in fair value, and the carrying value of assets and liabilities does not depart from their fair value significantly. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments as of 31 December 2013 and 2012:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Revocable Deposits: The fair value of revocable deposits with no defined maturity is determined to be the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value for fixed-maturity deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow models based on rates for similar remaining maturities. Loans and Advances: The fair value of loans to customers is estimated using discounted cash flow models. The discount rates are based on current market interest rates offered for instruments with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value for impaired loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities: Fair value of trading and available-for-sale assets, which is also the amount recognized in the balance sheet, is based on quoted market prices of the same or comparable instruments. These instruments are included in level 1 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. For debt instruments, for which such quoted market prices are not available the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on contractual cash flows discounted at the corresponding market rates.

37. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

37.11. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (Continued) Derivative Financial Instruments: All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. For exchange-forward contracts and options traded on active markets, fair value is based on quoted market prices. For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on dealer quotes and discounted cash flow analysis. Transaction Deposits, Other Deposits and Borrowings: Deposits from other banks and customers are mostly on demand and with short-term maturity, all deposits bear variable market interest rates; therefore management of the Bank is of the opinion that the fair value of deposits is equal to their carrying values. The fair value of other borrowed funds is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings arrangements Fair Value Hierarchy

IFRS 7 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources; unobservable inputs reflect the Group’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy. Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy for the financial assets and liabilities of the Bank measured at fair value as of 31 December 2013 is summarized below: Level Total Derivatives (Note 35 d) 3 15,669,415 Bank and corporate shares (Note 22) 1 334,898 RSD Treasury bills of the Republic of Serbia (Note 22) 2 5,371,275 Foreign currency Treasury bills of the Republic of Serbia

38. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) (b) Litigations

As of 31 December 2013, the Bank acted as a defendant in a certain number of legal proceedings. The total estimated value of damage claims arising from the litigations, including court expenses and interest, amounts to RSD 1,626,949 thousand (31 December 2012: RSD 1,427,517 thousand). The final outcome of the legal proceedings still in process is uncertain. As disclosed in Note 31 to the financial statements, as of 31 December 2013, the Bank recognized provision of RSD 247,586 thousand (31 December 2012: RSD 307,967 thousand) for potential losses that might arise as a result of the litigations with estimated negative outcome. The above stated amount includes penalty interest from damage claims together with court expenses calculated throughout 31 December 2013. The Bank’s management considers that no material losses will arise from the remaining litigations still in course, other than those provided for.

(c) Tax Risks

Tax system in the Republic of Serbia is undergoing continuous amendments. Tax period in the Republic of Serbia is considered to be open in the five-year period. In different circumstances, tax authorities could have different approach to some problems, and could detect additional tax liabilities together with related penalty interest and fines. The Bank’s management believes that tax liabilities recognized in the accompanying financial statements are fairly presented.

39. RECONCILIATION OF OUTSTANDING BALANCES WITH COUNTERPARTIES

In accordance with Article 18 of the Law on Accounting, the Bank performed reconciliation of receivables and payables with its debtors and creditors, and it maintains credible documentation on the circularization process.

The Bank submitted the confirmations to its customers and debtors with the outstanding balance of receivables/payables as of 31 October 2013. During the course of the audit, the status compliance with major customers was performed as of December 31 December 2013.

Based on the exchanged confirmations, the total amount of non-reconciled confirmations related to balance sheet items amounts to RSD 26,925 thousands, while for off-balance sheet items this amount is RSD 88,532 thousand. Moreover, confirmations returned due to failure to deliver amount to RSD 130,043 thousand and refer to the off-balance sheet items.

40. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
