GENERAL DISCLOSURES

This Disclosure Statement has been issued in accordance with the Order.

Credit Rating Information

The Ultimate Parent Bank has three credit ratings, which are applicable to its long-term senior unsecured obligations. The Ultimate Parent Bank’s credit ratings are:

Current Credit
Rating Agency Rating Qualification
Standard & Poor’s AA- Outlook Stable
Moody’s Investors Service Aa2 Outlook Stable
Fitch Ratings AA- Outlook Stable

Guarantors

No obligations of the NZ Branch are guaranteed as at 30 May 2016.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust

Certain debt securities (Covered Bonds) issued by the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, are guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust. The Covered Bond Guarantor has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of Covered Bonds with a carrying value as at 31 March 2016 of NZ$4,961 million, pursuant to a guarantee which is secured over a pool of assets. The Covered Bond Guarantor’s address for service is Level 9, 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, New Zealand. The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a member of the Banking Group and has no credit ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations payable in New Zealand dollars. The Covered Bonds have been assigned a long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Details of the pool of assets that secure this guarantee are provided in Note 7.

Financial Statements of the Ultimate Parent Bank and Overseas Banking Group

Copies of the most recent publicly available financial statements of the Ultimate Parent Bank and Overseas Banking Group will be provided immediately, free of charge, to any person requesting a copy where the request is made at the Registered Office. The most recent publicly available financial statements for the Ultimate Parent Bank and Overseas Banking Group can also be accessed at the internet address anz.com.

Other Matters

APRA has reviewed the level of exposures that can be provided to the respective New Zealand banking subsidiaries and branches (New Zealand operations) of the four Australian parent banks, including the Ultimate Parent Bank.

APRA has confirmed that by 1 January 2021 no more than 5% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital can comprise non-equity exposures to its New Zealand operations during ordinary times. Exposures in excess of this limit must be reduced in equal percentages over the five year transition period and may not increase above the exposures as at 30 June 2015. This limit does not include holdings of capital instruments or eligible secured contingent funding support provided to the Bank during times of financial stress.

The Ultimate Parent Bank established a New Zealand branch which was registered on 5 January 2009. The Bank sells, from time-to-time, residential loans and mortgages into the NZ Branch to provide funding for the Bank’s business. As at 31 March 2016, the NZ Branch held approximately NZ$7.1 billion of residential loans. To satisfy APRA’s requirements described above, the Bank intends to repay this funding at approximately NZ$1.6 billion per annum over the five year transition period ending 31 December 2020.

APRA has also clarified that contingent funding support by the Ultimate Parent Bank to the Bank during times of financial stress must be provided on terms that are acceptable to APRA and, in aggregate with all other exposures to its New Zealand operations, must not exceed 50% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital. At present, only covered bonds meet APRA’s criteria for contingent funding. On this basis, we believe that the Ultimate Parent Bank will continue to be able to provide financial support to the Bank.

Directorate

Michael Smith retired as Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director on 31 December 2015.

Shayne Elliott became Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director on 1 January 2016.

Auditor

ANZ New Zealand’s auditor is KPMG, Chartered Accountants, Level 9, 10 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, New Zealand.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Reporting entity and statement of compliance

These interim financial statements are for ANZ New Zealand for the six months ended 31 March 2016. They have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as appropriate for profit oriented entities, the requirements of NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting , IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Order, and should be read in conjunction with ANZ New Zealand’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015.

(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;

(iii) Changes in accounting policies

With the exception of software changes in note 2, the accounting policies adopted by ANZ New Zealand are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year 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

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

(vi) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of ANZ New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all the New Zealand businesses of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank (those entities where it is determined that the Ultimate Parent Bank has capacity to control).

Operating expenses

During the March 2016 half, ANZ New Zealand changed the application of its accounting policy for the capitalisation of expenditure on internally generated software assets effective from 1 October 2015. The change aligns the accounting policy for software assets with the rapidly changing technology landscape and ANZ New Zealand’s evolving digital strategy by increasing the threshold for capitalisation of software development costs and directly expensing more project related costs. The change does not affect ANZ New Zealand’s total investment in technology but does affect the timing of recognition of costs in the profit and loss account. The impact of the change on the March 2016 half was:

  • Higher amortisation of NZ$65 million relating to the accelerated amortisation of software assets where the original cost was below the revised threshold at 1 October 2015. This brings forward amortisation which otherwise would have been recognised in future periods.

  • Higher operating expenses of NZ$22 million relating to software development costs which otherwise would have been capitalised and amortised in future periods.

The change in capitalised software treatment has no impact on regulatory capital ratios.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

ANZ New Zealand is organised into four major business segments for segment reporting purposes - Retail, Commercial, Wealth 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 year ended 30 September 2015, Business Banking was integrated with Retail, having been included in Commercial previously. Segment reporting has been updated to reflect this change and other minor changes to ANZ New Zealand’s structure. Comparative data has been adjusted to be consistent with the current period’s segment definitions.

Retail

Retail provides products and services to Retail and Business Banking customers via the branch network, mortgage specialists, the contact centre and a variety of self service channels (internet banking, phone banking, ATMs, website and mobile phone banking). Retail customers have personal banking requirements and Business Banking customers consist primarily of small enterprises with annual revenues of less than NZ$5 million. Core products include current and savings accounts, unsecured lending (credit cards, personal loans and overdrafts) and home loans secured by mortgages over property. The Retail segment distributes insurance and investment products on behalf of the Wealth segment.

Commercial

Commercial provides services to Commercial & Agri (CommAgri) and UDC customers. CommAgri customers consist of primarily privately owned medium to large enterprises. Commercial'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.

Wealth

Wealth comprises the Private Wealth, Funds Management and Insurance businesses, which provide private banking, investment, superannuation and insurance products and services.

Institutional

Institutional provides financial services through a number of specialised units to large multi-banked corporations, often global, which require sophisticated product and risk management solutions. Those financial services include loan structuring, foreign exchange, wholesale money market services and transaction banking.

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 should be sufficient to ensure that ANZ New Zealand 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.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust (the Covered Bond Trust)

Substantially all of the assets of the Covered Bond Trust are made up of certain housing loans and related securities originated by the Bank which are security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited as trustee of the Covered Bond Trust of issuances of covered bonds by the Bank, or its wholly owned subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, from time to time. The assets of the Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditors of the Bank, although the Bank (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against the residual assets of the Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all prior ranking creditors of the Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.

ANZ New Zealand continues to recognise the assets of the Covered Bond Trust on its balance sheet as, although they are pledged as security for covered bonds, the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

1 These instruments qualify as additional tier 1 capital of the Overseas Banking Group.

2 These instruments are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

3 These instruments are listed on the New Zealand Debt Market (NZDX). The Market Surveillance Panel of the NZX granted the Bank a waiver from the requirements of Listing Rules 10.3 (relating to the provision of preliminary announcements of half yearly and annual results to the NZX) and 10.4 (relating to preparing and providing a copy of half yearly and annual reports to the NZX).

Subordinated debt is subordinated in right of payment in the event of liquidation or wind up to the claims of depositors and all creditors of the relevant issuer or drawer of the debt.

ANZ Capital Notes

  • On 5 March 2015, the NZ Branch issued 9.7 million convertible notes (ANZ CN3) at A$100 each, raising A$970 million before issue costs.

  • On 31 March 2015, the Bank issued 500 million convertible notes (ANZ NZ CN) at NZ$1 each, raising NZ$500 million before issue costs.

ANZ Capital Notes (the notes) are fully paid mandatorily convertible non-cumulative perpetual subordinated notes.

As at 31 March 2016 ANZ NZ CN carried a BBB- credit rating from Standard and Poor’s.

The notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond ANZ New Zealand’s control where the principal is converted into a variable number of shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank.

aggregate of the New Zealand 3 month bank bill rate plus a 350 basis point margin.

Distributions and interest payments are subject to the Ultimate Parent Bank’s (ANZ CN3) and the Bank’s (ANZ NZ CN) absolute discretion and certain payment conditions being satisfied (including APRA and RBNZ (ANZ NZ CN only) requirements). If distributions or interest are not paid on the notes, the Ultimate Parent Bank (ANZ CN3) or the Bank (ANZ NZ CN) may not, except in limited circumstances, pay dividends or undertake a share buy-back or other capital reduction on its ordinary shares until the distributions or interest are next paid.

Conversion features

On 24 March 2025 (ANZ CN3) or 25 May 2022 (ANZ NZ CN) or an earlier date under certain circumstances, the relevant notes will mandatorily convert into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank based on the average market price of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ordinary shares over a specified period prior to conversion less a 1% discount, subject to a maximum conversion number.

Distributions and interest

Distributions on ANZ CN3 and interest on ANZ NZ CN are recorded as interest expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Distributions and interest on the notes are non-cumulative and payable as follows:

  • ANZ CN3: payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September in each year and will be franked in line with the franking applied to ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank. The distributions are based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the Australian 6 month bank bill rate plus a 360 basis point margin, multiplied by one minus the Australian company tax rate. Should the distribution not be fully-franked, the terms of the notes provide for a cash gross-up for the amount of the franking benefit not provided.

  • ANZ NZ CN: payable quarterly in arrears in February, May, August and November in each year. The interest rate is fixed at 7.2% per annum until 25 May 2020, and thereafter will be based on a floating rate equal to the

The mandatory conversion will be deferred for a specified period if the conversion tests are not met.

If a common equity capital trigger event, an APRA nonviability trigger event or an RBNZ non-viability trigger event (as defined in the RBNZ document Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal Models Based Approach) (BS2B)) (ANZ NZ CN only) occurs, some or all of the notes will be required to be immediately converted into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank, subject to a maximum conversion number.

A common equity capital trigger event occurs if the:

  • Overseas Banking Group’s Level 1 (ANZ CN3 only) or Level 2 common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%; or

  • Banking Group’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% (ANZ CN only).

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited - ANZ New Zealand

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

An APRA non-viability trigger event occurs if APRA notifies the Ultimate Parent Bank that, without the conversion or write-off of certain securities or a public sector injection of capital (or equivalent support), it considers that the Ultimate Parent Bank would become non-viable. An RBNZ nonviability trigger event occurs if the RBNZ directs the Bank to convert or write off the notes or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides the Bank must convert or write off the notes.

On 25 May 2020 the Bank has the right, subject to satisfying certain conditions, to redeem (subject to receiving RBNZ’s and APRA’s prior approval), or to convert into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank, all or some of the ANZ NZ CN at its discretion on similar terms as mandatory conversion.

On 24 March 2023 the Ultimate Parent Bank has the right, subject to receiving APRA’s prior approval and satisfying certain conditions, to redeem, or to convert into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank, all or some of the ANZ CN3 at its discretion on similar terms as mandatory conversion.

Rights of holders in event of liquidation

In a liquidation of the Ultimate Parent Bank, ANZ CN3 rank equally with other additional tier 1 capital instruments issued by the Ultimate Parent Bank. In a liquidation of the Bank, ANZ NZ CN rank equally with the Bank’s other additional tier 1 capital instruments, including preference shares, and lower than the Bank’s perpetual subordinated debt. Holders of the notes do not have any right to vote in general meetings of the Ultimate Parent Bank or the Bank.

Perpetual subordinated debt

Perpetual subordinated debt instruments are classified as debt reflecting an assessment of the key terms and conditions of the instruments, and an assessment of the ability, and likelihood of interest payments being deferred. These instruments have interrelationships that have been considered in this assessment.

This bond was issued by the Bank on 18 April 2008.

The Bank may elect to redeem the bond on 18 April 2018 (the Call Date) or any interest payment date subsequent to 18 April 2018. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on 18 April and 18 October each year, up to and including the Call Date and then quarterly thereafter. Should the bond not be called at the Call Date, the Coupon Rate from the Call Date onwards will be based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the 3 month bank bill rate plus a 300 basis point margin.

As at 31 March 2016, this bond carried a BBB+ rating by Standard and Poor's and an A3 rating by Moody’s.

The coupon interest on the bond is 5.28% per annum until 18 April 2018.

For calculation of minimum capital requirements under Pillar 1 (Capital Requirements) of the Basel Accord, APRA has accredited the Overseas Banking Group 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 Overseas Banking Group is required to maintain a Prudential Capital Ratio (PCR) as determined by APRA. The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the PCR set by APRA as at 31 March 2016 and for the comparative prior periods.

The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 March 2016. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar 3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 March 2016, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information , discloses capital adequacy ratios and other prudential information.

Concentrations of credit risk

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.

Analysis of financial assets by industry sector is based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes.

Contractual maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities

The following tables present ANZ New Zealand's financial assets and liabilities within relevant contractual maturity groupings, based on the earliest date on which ANZ New Zealand 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.

The contractual maturity analysis for off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities has been prepared using the earliest date at which ANZ New Zealand 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.

ANZ New Zealand does not manage its liquidity risk on this basis.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value

Below is a comparison of the carrying amounts as reported on the balance sheet and fair value of financial asset and liability categories other than those categories where the carrying amount is at fair value or considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The fair values below have been calculated using discounted cash flow techniques where contractual future cash flows of the instrument are discounted using discount rates incorporating wholesale market rates or market borrowing rates of debt with similar maturities or a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

1 Fair value hedging is applied to certain financial instruments within these categories. The resulting fair value adjustments mean that the carrying value differs from the amortised cost.

2 Includes commercial paper (note 8) designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet

ANZ New Zealand uses a valuation method within the following hierarchy to determine the carrying amount of assets and liabilities held at fair value, all of which are recurring fair value measurements. There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

  • Level 1 – Financial instruments that have been valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. This category includes financial instruments valued using quoted yields where available for specific debt securities.

  • Level 2 – Financial instruments that have been valued through valuation techniques incorporating inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for a similar financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 – Financial instruments that have been valued using valuation techniques which incorporate significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There have been no substantial changes in the valuation techniques applied to different classes of financial instruments during the period.

15. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK TO INDIVIDUAL COUNTERPARTIES

ANZ New Zealand measures its concentration of credit risk to bank counterparties on the basis of approved exposures, and to non-bank counterparties on the basis of limits.

For the six months ended 31 March 2016 there were no individual counterparties, excluding connected parties, governments and banks with long term credit ratings of A- or above, where ANZ New Zealand’s period end or peak end-of-day credit exposure equalled or exceeded 10% of the Overseas Banking Group’s equity as at the end of the period.

This credit exposure information does not include exposures to counterparties if they are booked outside New Zealand.

16. INSURANCE BUSINESS

ANZ New Zealand conducts insurance business through its subsidiary OnePath Life (NZ) Limited (OnePath Life).

ANZ New Zealand’s aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total assets of OnePath Life of NZ$943 million (31/03/2015: NZ$958 million; 30/09/2015 NZ$884 million), which is 0.6% (31/03/2015: 0.7%; 30/09/2015 0.6%) of the total consolidated assets of ANZ New Zealand.

ANZ New Zealand guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate Parent Bank. The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

Other contingent liabilities

On 11 March 2013, litigation funder Litigation Lending Services (NZ) Limited announced plans for a representative action against banks in New Zealand for certain fees charged to New Zealand customers over the past six years. Proceedings were filed against the Bank on 25 June 2013. The potential outcome of this litigation cannot be determined with any certainty at this stage.

ANZ New Zealand has other contingent liabilities in respect of actual and possible claims and court proceedings.

An assessment of ANZ New Zealand’s likely loss in respect of these matters has been made on a case-by-case basis and provision made where deemed necessary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

We have reviewed pages 3 to 22 of the interim financial statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited – ANZ New Zealand and its related entities (ANZ New Zealand) prepared and disclosed in accordance with the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (the Order) and the supplementary information prescribed in Schedules 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of the Order. The interim financial statements, and supplementary information, provide information about the past financial performance and cash flows of ANZ New Zealand and its financial position as at 31 March 2016.

This report is made solely to the Directors as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s Directors those matters we are required to state to them in the auditor's review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company’s Directors as a body, for our review work, this report or any of the opinions we have formed.

Directors' responsibility for the disclosure statement

The Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Disclosure Statement, which includes interim financial statements prepared in accordance with Clause 26 of the Order which give a true and fair view of the financial position of ANZ New Zealand as at 31 March 2016 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 the Directors 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 Disclosure Statement which fairly states the matters to which it relates in accordance with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of the Order.

Reviewer’s responsibility

We are responsible for reviewing the interim financial statements and the supplementary information, disclosed in accordance with Clause 26, Schedules 5, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of the Order and presented to us by the Directors.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements (excluding the supplementary information) based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410: Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting . As the auditor of ANZ New Zealand, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

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, 10, 12 and 14 of the Order.

We are responsible for reviewing the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described below, anything has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the information disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 is not in all material respects prepared in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A); and disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on those financial statements.

KPMG has also provided other audit related services to ANZ New Zealand. In addition, certain partners and employees of our firm may also deal with ANZ New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of ANZ New Zealand. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditors of ANZ New Zealand. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, ANZ New Zealand.

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) do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ANZ New Zealand as at 31 March 2016 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting ;

  • b. the supplementary information prescribed by Schedules 5, 7, 10, 12 and 14 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 credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy prescribed by Schedule 9 of the Order, is not in all material respects prepared in accordance with Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A), and disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

Our review was completed on 30 May 2016 and our review opinion is expressed as at that date.

Wellington
