Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(i) Reporting entity and statement of compliance

These financial statements are for the Banking Group for the six months ended 31 March 2011. They have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting , and the Order, and should be read in conjunction with the Banking Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2010.

(ii) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with historical cost concepts except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value:

  • derivative financial instruments, including in the case of fair value hedging, the fair value of any applicable underlying exposure;

  • financial instruments held for trading;

  • financial assets treated as available-for-sale; and

  • financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss.

  • Insurance policy assets are measured using the Margin on Services basis, and defined benefit obligations are measured using the Projected Unit Credit method.

(iii) Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted by the Banking Group are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year General Disclosure Statement.

(iv) Presentation currency and rounding

The amounts contained in the financial statements are presented in millions of New Zealand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(v) Comparatives

Prior to 30 September 2010 some fee income integral to the effective interest rate of financial assets was presented in other operating income. Since this date this income has been classified to interest income, to more accurately reflect the nature of the income.

Comparative data has been restated accordingly. For the period ended 31 March 2010 this reclassification has for the Banking Group, increased interest income by $61 million and reduced other operating income by a corresponding amount. There was no impact on total operating income or profit after income tax.

Certain other amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current period’s presentation.

(vi) Principles of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Bank and its controlled entities.

2. Operating Income and Expenses

Other operating income for the six months ended 31 March 2011 includes a fair value loss of $92 million (six months ended 31/03/2010 $56 million gain; year ended 30/09/2010 $52 million gain) on the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value and on hedging activities. Other operating income excluding these fair value adjustments is $233 million (six months ended 31/03/2010 $173 million; year ended 30/09/2010 $393 million).

Operating expenses include a one-off cost for the six months ended 31 March 2011 of $141 million incurred in relation to the planned move to a single banking technology platform and a simplified regional management structure, which is expected to deliver further operational efficiencies and improved service levels and business outcomes.

Notes to the Financial Statements

4. Segmental Analysis

For segment reporting purposes, the Banking Group is organised into three major business segments – Retail, Commercial and Institutional. Centralised back office and corporate functions support these segments. These segments are consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, being the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer.

During the six months ended 31 March 2011 a specialist standalone business banking unit was created within the Commercial segment. Segmental reporting has been updated to reflect this and other minor changes to the Banking Group’s structure. Comparative data has been adjusted to be consistent with the current period’s segment definitions.

Retail

Retail provides banking products and services to individuals through separate ANZ and The National Bank of New Zealand branded distribution channels. Personal banking customers have access to a wide range of financial services and products. The Banking Group’s wealth businesses include private banking and investment services provided to high net worth individuals, the OnePath wealth management and insurance businesses, and other investment products. This segment also includes other profit centres supporting the Retail Banking segment.

Commercial

Commercial provides services to Business Banking, Commercial & Agri, and UDC customers. Business Banking services are offered to small enterprises (typically with annual revenues of less than $5 million). Commercial & Agri customers consist of primarily privately owned medium to large enterprises. The Banking Group’s relationship with these businesses ranges from simple banking requirements with revenue from deposit and transactional facilities, and cash flow lending, to more complex funding arrangements with revenue sourced from a wider range of products. UDC is principally involved in the financing and leasing of plant, vehicles and equipment, mainly for small and medium sized businesses, as well as investment products.

Institutional

Institutional provides financial services to large multi-banked corporations, often global, who require sophisticated product and structuring solutions. The Institutional business unit includes the following specialised units:

  • Markets – provides foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity trading and sales-related services, origination, underwriting, structuring, risk management and sale of credit and derivative products globally;

  • Transaction Banking – provides cash management, trade finance and international payments;

  • Specialised Lending – provides origination, credit analysis, structuring and execution of specific customer transactions.

Other

Other includes treasury and back office support functions, none of which constitutes a separately reportable segment.

Credit quality of financial assets that are past due but not impaired

A large portion of retail credit exposures, such as residential mortgages, are generally well secured. That is, the fair value of associated security is sufficient to ensure that the Banking Group will recover the entire amount owing over the life of the facility and there is reasonable assurance that collection efforts will result in payment of the amounts due in a timely manner.

Basel I capital adequacy in respect of the Bank has been derived in accordance with the RBNZ document entitled ‘Capital Adequacy Framework (Basel I Approach)’ (“BS2”), dated October 2010.

Implementation of the advanced internal ratings based approach to credit risk measurement

The Banking Group adheres to the standards of risk grading and risk quantification as set out for Internal Ratings Based (“IRB”) banks in the RBNZ document BS2B.

Under this IRB Framework banks use their own measures for calculating the level of credit risk associated with customers and exposures, by way of the primary components of:

Probability of Default (“PD”) – an estimate of the level of risk of borrower default graded by way of rating models used both at loan origination and for ongoing monitoring. For retail mortgage exposures the Banking Group is required to use the RBNZ prescribed exposure weighted minimum PD of 1.25%;

Exposure at Default (“EAD”) – the expected facility exposure at default. Total credit risk-weighted exposures include a scalar of 1.06 in accordance with the Bank’s Conditions of Registration; and

Loss Given Default (“LGD”) – an estimate of the potential economic loss on a credit exposure, incurred as a consequence of obligor default and expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD. For retail mortgage exposures the Bank is required to apply the downturn LGDs according to loan to value (“LVR”) bands as set out in BS2B. For Rural Banking exposures the Banking Group is required to adopt RBNZ prescribed downturn LGDs which are more conservative than internal estimates.

For exposures classified under Specialised Lending, the Banking Group uses slotting tables supplied by the RBNZ rather than internal estimates.

The exceptions to IRB treatment are five minor portfolios where, due to systems constraints or other reasons, determining these IRB risk estimates is not currently feasible or appropriate. Risk weights for these exposures are calculated under a separate treatment as set out in the RBNZ document entitled ‘Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach)’ (“BS2A”), dated October 2010.

Credit risk mitigation

The Banking Group assesses the integrity and ability of counterparties to meet their contractual financial obligations for repayment. The Banking Group generally takes collateral security in the form of real property or a security interest in personal property, except for major government, bank and corporate counterparties of strong financial standing. Longer term consumer finance, in the form of housing loans, is generally secured against real estate while short term revolving consumer credit is generally unsecured.

As at 31 March 2011, under the IRB approach, the Banking Group had $1,334 million of Corporate exposures covered by guarantees, where the presence of the guarantees are judged to have reduced the underlying credit risk of the exposures. Information on the total value of exposures covered by financial guarantees and eligible financial collateral is not disclosed, as the effect of these guarantees and collateral on the underlying credit risk exposures is not considered to be material.

Operational risk

The Banking Group uses the Advanced Measurement Approach for determining its regulatory capital requirement for operational risk calculated in accordance with BS2B. As at 31 March 2011 the Banking Group had an implied risk weighted exposure of $5,113 million for operational risk and an operational risk capital requirement of $409 million.

Market risk

The aggregate market risk exposures below have been calculated in accordance with BS2B.

Pillar II capital for other material risks

The Banking Group has an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) which complies with the requirements of the Bank’s Conditions of Registration.

Under the Banking Group’s ICAAP it identifies and measures all “other material risks”, which are those material risks that are not explicitly captured in the calculation of the Banking Group’s tier one and total capital ratios. The other material risks identified by the Banking Group include business risk, pension risk, insurance risk, premises and equipment risk and capitalised origination fees risk.

The Banking Group’s internal capital allocation for these other material risks is $329 million (31/03/2010 $378 million; 30/09/2010 $401 million)

Retail mortgages by loan-to-valuation ratio (“LVR”)

As required by the RBNZ, LVRs are calculated as the current exposure secured by a residential mortgage divided by the Banking Group’s valuation of the security property at origination of the exposure and commitments to lend include formal offers for housing lending which may or may not be accepted by the customer.

For calculation of minimum capital requirements under Pillar I of the Basel II Accord, APRA has accredited the Ultimate Parent Bank to use the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (“AIRB”) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets and the Advanced Measurement Approach (“AMA”) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

Under prudential regulations, the Ultimate Parent Bank is required to hold a minimum Prudential Capital Ratio (“PCR”) as determined by APRA. The Ultimate Parent Bank met the minimum capital adequacy requirements set by APRA as at 31 March 2011 and for the comparative prior periods.

The Ultimate Parent Bank is required to publicly disclose Pillar III financial information as at 31 March 2011. The Ultimate Parent Bank’s Consolidated Financial Report, Dividend Announcement and Appendix 4E, for the six months ended to 31 March 2011, discloses capital adequacy ratios calculated under the Basel II methodology. The Ultimate Parent Bank also prepares a quarterly Basel II Pillar III disclosure document, the APS 330. All these documents can be accessed at the website anz.com.

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities or activities within the same geographic region, or when they have similar risk characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

Contractual maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities

The table below presents the Banking Group’s financial assets and liabilities within relevant contractual maturity groupings, based on the earliest date on which the Banking Group may be required to realise an asset or settle a liability. The amounts disclosed in the tables represent undiscounted future principal and interest cash flows and may differ to the amounts reported on the balance sheet.

Derivatives (other than those designated in a hedging relationship) and trading portfolio assets and liabilities are included at their fair value, since they will frequently be settled before contractual maturity at fair value.

The contractual maturity analysis for off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities has been prepared using the earliest date at which the Banking Group can be called upon to pay. The liquidity risk of credit related commitments and contingent liabilities may be less than the contract amount, and does not necessarily represent future cash requirements as many of these facilities are expected to be only partially used or to expire unused.

The Banking Group does not manage its liquidity risk on the basis of the information below.

13. Concentrations of Credit Risk to Individual Counterparties

The Banking Group measures its concentration of credit risk in respect to bank counterparties on the basis of approved exposures, and in respect to non bank counterparties on the basis of limits. No account is taken of collateral, security and/or netting agreements which the Banking Group may hold in respect of the various counterparty exposures.

The number of individual counterparties (excluding connected parties, governments and banks with long term credit ratings of A- or above) where the Banking Group’s period end or peak end-of-day credit exposure equals or exceeds 10% of equity (as at the end of the period) are:

The Banking Group guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate Parent Bank. To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, they are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers that apply for loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that could be lost if the counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

Other contingent liabilities

The Banking Group has other contingent liabilities in respect of actual and possible claims and court proceedings. An assessment of the Banking Group’s likely loss in respect of these matters has been made on a case-by-case basis and provision made where deemed necessary.

ANZ National Bank Limited

Conditions of Registration

Conditions of Registration, applicable as at 19 May 2011.

Effective 31 March 2011, the RBNZ issued revised conditions of registration for the Bank. The changes from the previous conditions of registration are as follows:

  • Condition 1 has been amended to change the supervisory adjustments applied to the calculation of the Bank’s capital ratios.

  • Conditions 6, 7, 8 and 9 replace previous governance related conditions following the introduction of the RBNZ’s supervisory document “Corporate Governance” (BS14).

  • Conditions 13 and 14 have been amended to remove transitionary wording used since the implementation of the RBNZ’s supervisory document “Liquidity Policy” (BS13).

  • Condition 15 has been added following consultation by the RBNZ around the introduction of a regulatory framework for covered bonds.

The registration of ANZ National Bank Limited (“the Bank”) as a registered bank is subject to the following conditions:

  1. That the Banking Group complies with the following requirements:

  2. (a) the total capital ratio of the Banking Group calculated in accordance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010 is not less than 8%;

  3. (b) the tier one capital ratio of the Banking Group calculated in accordance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010 is not less than 4%; and

  4. (c) the capital of the Banking Group calculated in accordance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010 is not less than $30 million.

  5. For the purposes of this condition of registration the scalar referred to in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010 is 1.06.

For the purposes of this condition of registration, the supervisory adjustment referred to in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010 is defined as follows:

Supervisory adjustment = (30% x RM Exposure) – (RMRWA x 1.06)

where,—

  • RM Exposure = non defaulted exposures secured by residential mortgages as defined in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010.

  • RMRWA = risk weighted exposure for non defaulted exposures secured by residential mortgages as defined in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010, calculated using the bank’s long-run capital model with the weighted average probability of default for non-defaulted exposures calibrated to 1.25%.

  • 1A. That-

  • (a) the Bank has an internal capital adequacy assessment process (“ICAAP”); that with effect from 31 August 2008 the Bank’s ICAAP accords with the requirements set out in the document “Guidelines on a Bank’s internal capital adequacy process (“ICAAP”)” (BS12) dated December 2007;

  • (b) under its ICAAP the Bank identifies and measures its “other material risks” defined as all material risks of the Banking Group that are not explicitly captured in the calculation of tier one and total capital ratios under the requirements set out in the document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010; and

  • (c) the Bank determines an internal capital allocation for each identified and measured “other material risk”.

  • 1B. That the Banking Group complies with all requirements set out in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (internal models based approach)” (BS2B) dated October 2010.

  • 1C. That the Bank complies with the following requirements:

  • (a) The total capital ratio of the Bank is not less than 8%; and

  • (b) The tier one capital ratio of the Bank is not less than 4%.

For the purposes of this condition of registration:

  • the total capital ratio is defined as capital as a percentage of risk-weighted exposures where capital and risk-weighted exposures are as defined in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (Basel I approach)” (BS2) dated October 2010; and

  • the tier one capital ratio is defined as tier one capital as a percentage of risk-weighted exposures where tier one capital and risk-weighted exposures are as defined in the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document “Capital adequacy framework (Basel I approach)” (BS2) dated October 2010.

ANZ National Bank Limited

Conditions of Registration

  1. That the Banking Group does not conduct any non-financial activities that in aggregate are material relative to its total activities, where the term material is based on generally accepted accounting practice, as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 1993.

  2. That the Banking Group’s insurance business is not greater than 1% of its total consolidated assets. For the purposes of this condition:

  3. (a) Insurance business means any business of the nature referred to in section 4 of the Insurance Companies (Ratings and Inspections) Act 1994 (including those to which the Act is disapplied by sections 4(1)(a) and (b) and 9 of that Act), or any business of the nature referred to in section 3(1) of the Life Insurance Act 1908;

  4. (b) In measuring the size of the Banking Group’s insurance business:

    • (i) where insurance business is conducted by any entity whose business predominantly consists of insurance business, the size of that insurance business shall be:

      • (A) The total consolidated assets of the group headed by that entity;

      • (B) if the entity is a subsidiary of another entity whose business predominantly consists of insurance business, the total consolidated assets of the group headed by the latter entity;

    • (ii) otherwise, the size of each insurance business conducted by any entity within the Banking Group shall equal the total liabilities relating to that insurance business, plus the equity retained by the entity to meet the solvency or financial soundness needs of the insurance business;

    • (iii) the amounts measured in relation to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) shall be summed and compared to the total consolidated assets of the Banking Group. All amounts in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) shall relate to on balance sheet items only, and shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 1993;

    • (iv) where products or assets of which an insurance business is comprised also contain a non-insurance component, the whole of such products or assets shall be considered part of the insurance business.

  5. That the aggregate credit exposures (of a non-capital nature and net of any allowances for impairment) of the Banking Group to all connected persons do not exceed the rating-contingent limit outlined in the following matrix:

==> picture [210 x 119] intentionally omitted <==

1 This table uses the rating scales of Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service. (Fitch Ratings’ scale is identical to Standard & Poor’s).

Within the rating-contingent limit, credit exposures (of a non-capital nature and net of any allowances for impairment) to non-bank connected persons shall not exceed 15 percent of the Banking Group’s Tier One capital.

For the purposes of this condition of registration, compliance with the rating-contingent connected exposure limit is determined in accordance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document entitled “Connected Exposures Policy” (BS8) dated October 2010.

  1. That exposures to connected persons are not on more favourable terms (e.g. as relates to such matters as credit assessment, tenor, interest rates, amortisation schedules and requirement for collateral) than corresponding exposures to non-connected persons.

  2. 5A. Before and on 31 March 2012, that the bank complies with the following corporate governance requirements:

  3. (a) the board of the Bank must contain at least two independent directors and alternates for those directors, if any, must also be independent. In this context an independent director (or alternate) is a director (or alternate) who is not an employee of the Bank, and who is not a director, trustee or employee of any holding company (as that term is defined in section 5 of the Companies Act 1993) of the Bank or any other entity capable of controlling or significantly influencing the Bank;

  4. (b) the chairperson of the Bank’s board must not be an employee of the bank; and

  5. (c) the Bank’s constitution must not include any provision permitting a director, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, to act other than in what he or she believes is the best interests of the company (i.e. the Bank).

ANZ National Bank Limited

  7. (f) the chairperson of the board of the Bank must be independent; and

  8. (g) the Bank’s constitution must not include any provision permitting a director, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, to act other than in what he or she believes is the best interests of the company (i.e. the Bank).

  1. That no appointment of any director, chief executive officer, or executive who reports or is accountable directly to the chief executive officer, is made in respect of the Bank unless:

  2. (a) the Reserve Bank has been supplied with a copy of the curriculum vitae of the proposed appointee; and

  3. (b) the Reserve Bank has advised that it has no objection to that appointment.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Shareholder of ANZ National Bank Limited

We have reviewed pages 2 to 26 of the half year financial statements of ANZ National Bank Limited (the ‘Bank’) and its subsidiary companies (the ‘Banking Group’) prepared and disclosed in accordance with the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2011 (the ‘Order’) and the supplementary information prescribed in Schedules 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order. The half year financial statements, and supplementary information, provides information about the past financial performance and cash flows of the Banking Group and its financial position as at 31 March 2011.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors of ANZ National Bank Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the half year Disclosure Statement, which includes interim financial statements prepared in accordance with Clause 25 of the Order which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2011 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date. The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as they determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the Disclosure Statement that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

They are also responsible for the preparation of supplementary information in the half year Disclosure Statement which fairly states the matters to which it relates in accordance with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.

Reviewers’ responsibilities

We are responsible for reviewing the interim financial statements and the supplementary information, disclosed in accordance with Clause 25, Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order and presented to us by the Directors.

We are responsible for reviewing the interim financial statements (excluding the supplementary information) in order to report to you whether, in our opinion on the basis of the procedures described below, anything has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 (“NZ IAS 34”): Interim Financial Reporting and do not present a true and fair view of the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2011 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date.

We are responsible for reviewing the supplementary information (excluding the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy) in order to report to you whether, in our opinion on the basis of the procedures described below, anything has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the supplementary information does not fairly state the matters to which it relates in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.

We are responsible for reviewing the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described below, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the information disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 is not in all material respects prepared in accordance with the Bank’s Conditions of Registration and with the Bank’s internal models for credit risk and operational risk as accredited by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11.

We have performed our review in accordance with the review engagement standard RS-1 Statement of Review Engagement Standards issued by the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants. A review is limited primarily to enquiries of Banking Group personnel and analytical review procedures applied to the financial data, and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our firm has also provided other services to the Banking Group in relation to other audit related services. Partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. There are, however, certain restrictions on borrowings which the partners and employees of our firm can have with the Banking Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditors of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking Group.

Review Opinion

We have examined the interim financial statements including the supplementary information and based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

  • a. the interim financial statements (excluding the supplementary information) have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting and do not present a true and fair view of the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2011 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date;

  • b. the supplementary information prescribed by Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16, and 18 of the Order does not fairly state the matters to which it relates in accordance with those Schedules; and

  • c. the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy as required by Schedule 11 of the Order, is not in all material respects prepared in accordance with the Bank’s Conditions of Registration, with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand document Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal Models Based Approach) (BS2B), and with the Banking Group’s internal models for credit risk and operational risk as accredited by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.

Our review was completed on 19 May 2011 and our review opinion is expressed as at that date.
