GENERAL DISCLOSURES

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

Credit Rating Information

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

ratings are:
Current Credit
Rating Agency Rating Qualification
Standard & Poor’s AA- Outlook Negative
Moody’s Investors Service Aa3 Outlook Negative
Fitch Ratings AA- Outlook Stable

Guarantors

No material obligations of the Bank are guaranteed as at 12 May 2017.

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 2017 of NZ$5,011 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.

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 2017, the NZ Branch held approximately NZ$5.3 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.

Auditor

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

The Banking Group is organised into three major business segments for segment reporting purposes - 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 year ended 30 September 2016, Wealth was integrated with Retail, having been disclosed separately previously. Segment reporting has been updated to reflect this change 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 products and services to Retail, Private Banking, and Business Banking customers via the branch network, mortgage specialists, relationship managers, the contact centre and a variety of self-service channels (internet banking, phone banking, ATMs, website and mobile phone banking). Retail and Private Banking 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 and services include current and savings accounts, unsecured lending (credit

cards, personal loans and overdrafts), home loans secured by mortgages over property, investment products, superannuation and insurance services.

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.

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 and interest rate products, 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 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.

UDC Secured Investments are secured by a security interest granted under the Trust Deed over all of UDC's present and future assets and undertakings, to Trustees Executors Limited, as supervisor. The assets subject to the security interest comprise mainly loans to UDC's customers and certain plant and equipment. The security interest secures all amounts payable by UDC on the UDC Secured Investments and all other moneys payable by UDC under the Trust Deed.

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.

The Banking Group 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.

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 Bank issued 10.03 million convertible notes (ANZ NZ ICN) to the NZ Branch at NZ$100 each, raising NZ$1,003 million.

  • 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.

  • On 15 June 2016, the Bank issued 9.38 million convertible notes (ANZ NZ ICN2) to the NZ Branch at NZ$100 each, raising NZ$938 million.

ANZ Capital Notes (the notes) are fully paid convertible noncumulative perpetual subordinated notes.

As at 31 March 2017, ANZ NZ CN carried a BBB- credit rating from Standard and Poor’s.

The notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond the Bank’s control where the principal is converted into a variable number of shares of the Bank (ANZ NZ ICN and ANZ NZ ICN2) or the Ultimate Parent Bank (ANZ NZ CN).

Interest

Interest on the notes is non-cumulative and payable as follows:

  • ANZ NZ ICN: payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September in each year. The interest rate is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill rate plus a 380 basis point margin.

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

  • ANZ NZ ICN2: payable semi-annually in arrears in June and December in each year. The interest rate is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill rate plus a 629 basis point margin.

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

Conversion features

On 24 March 2025 (ANZ NZ ICN) 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:

  • Bank based on the net assets per share in the Bank’s most recently published Disclosure Statement (ANZ NZ ICN) or

  • 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 (ANZ NZ CN).

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

The Bank will be required to convert some or all of the notes if a common equity capital trigger event, or an RBNZ or APRA (ANZ NZ CN only) non-viability trigger event occurs. The ANZ NZ ICN and ANZ NZ ICN2 will convert into ordinary shares of the Bank and the ANZ NZ CN will convert into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank, subject to a maximum conversion number.

A common equity capital trigger event occurs if the:

  • Banking Group’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% or

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

An RBNZ non-viability 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. An APRA nonviability 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.

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 Bank has the right, subject to satisfying certain conditions, to redeem (subject to receiving RBNZ’s prior approval), or to convert into ordinary shares of the Bank, all or some of the ANZ NZ ICN at its discretion on similar terms as mandatory conversion.

On 15 June 2026 and each 5th anniversary thereafter the Bank has the right, subject to satisfying certain conditions, to redeem (subject to receiving RBNZ’s prior approval), all or some of the ANZ NZ ICN2 at its discretion.

Rights of holders in event of liquidation

The notes rank equally with each other and with the Bank’s preference shares and lower than perpetual subordinated debt. Holders of the notes do not have any right to vote in general meetings of 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. Certain of these instruments have interrelationships that have been considered in this assessment.

NZD 835,000,000 bond

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 2017, 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.

AUD 10,000,000 loan

This loan was drawn down by the Bank on 27 March 2013 and has no fixed maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on 15 March and 15 September each year. The Bank may repay the loan on any interest payment date after the NZD 835,000,000 bond has been repaid in full.

Coupon interest is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the Australian 6 month bank bill rate plus a 240 basis point margin, increasing to the Australian 6 month bank bill rate plus a 440 basis point margin from 15 September 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Terms of ordinary share capital

All ordinary shares share equally in dividends and any proceeds available to ordinary shareholders on the winding up of the Bank. On a show of hands every member who is present at a meeting in person or by proxy or by representative is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll every member shall have one vote for each share held.

Terms of preference shares

All preference shares were issued by the Bank to the Immediate Parent and do not carry any voting rights. The preference shares are wholly classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis. The key terms of the preference shares are as follows:

Dividends

Dividends are payable at the discretion of the directors of the Bank and are non-cumulative. The Bank must not resolve to pay any dividend or make any other distribution on its ordinary shares until the next preference share dividend payment date if the dividend on the preference shares is not paid.

Should the Bank elect to pay a dividend, the dividend is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill plus a 325 basis point margin, multiplied by one minus the New Zealand company tax rate, with dividend payments due on 1 March and 1 September each year.

Redemption features

The preference shares are redeemable, subject to prior written approval of the RBNZ, by the Bank providing notice in writing to holders of the preference shares:

  • on any date on or after a change to laws or regulations that adversely affects the regulatory capital or tax treatment of the preference shares or

  • on any dividend payment date on or after 1 March 2019 or

  • on any date after 1 March 2019 if the Bank has ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent Bank.

The preference shares may be redeemed for nil consideration should a non-viability trigger event occur.

Rights of holders in event of liquidation

In the event of a liquidation, holders of preference shares are entitled to available subscribed capital per share, pari passu with all holders of existing preference shares and ANZ Capital notes but in priority to all holders of ordinary shares. They have no entitlement to participate in further distribution of profits or assets.

The preference shares qualify as “additional tier 1 capital” for capital adequacy purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal Models Based Approach) (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.

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.

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 farm lending exposures the Banking Group is required to adopt RBNZ prescribed downturn LVR based LGDs, along with a minimum maturity of 2.5 years and the removal of the firm-size adjustment.

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 three minor portfolios where, due to systems constraints, 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 Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A).

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 2017, under the IRB approach, the Banking Group had NZ$1,093 million of Corporate exposures covered by guarantees where the presence of the guarantees was judged to reduce 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 2017 the Banking Group had an implied risk weighted exposure of NZ$5,874 million for operational risk and an operational risk capital requirement of NZ$470 million.

Market risk

The aggregate market risk exposures below have been calculated in accordance with BS2B. The peak end-of-day market risk exposures are for the six months ended 31 March 2017.

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 1 and total capital ratios. The other material risks identified by the Banking Group include pension risk, insurance risk, strategic equity risk, fixed asset risk, deferred acquisition cost risk, value in-force risk, business retention risk and software risk.

The Banking Group's internal capital allocation for these other material risks is NZ$435 million (31/03/2016 NZ$514 million; 30/09/2016 NZ$441 million).

The Banking Group regularly reviews the methodologies used to calculate the economic capital allocated to other material risks.

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 2017 and for the comparative prior periods.

The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 March 2017. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar 3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 March 2017, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information , discloses capital adequacy ratios and other prudential information. This document can be accessed at the website anz.com.

Residential mortgages by loan-to-valuation ratio

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. Off balance sheet exposures include undrawn and partially drawn residential mortgage loans as well as commitments to lend. Commitments to lend are formal offers for housing lending which have been accepted by the customer.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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. The significant categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC), except that Agriculture is shown separately as required by the Order.

The presentation of these tables has changed from previous periods to align this disclosure with the classifications in the new data series S34 – Banks: Assets – Loans by industry published by the RBNZ. This series uses ANZSIC 2006 industry classifications rather than ANZSIC 1996 that were previously used. Updated corresponding amounts as at 30 September 2016 have been provided for comparative purposes. The most significant changes to the 30 September 2016 amounts from the previous presentation are:

  • 1) Industry classification is now shown separately for New Zealand residents and non-New Zealand residents 2) The reduction in exposures to households, previously described as personal lending, is due to the reclassification of loans secured by rental properties to the relevant customer’s industry, of which the majority are now included in rental, hiring and real estate services.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Funding composition

The Banking Group actively uses balance sheet disciplines to prudently manage the funding mix. The Banking Group employs funding metrics to ensure that an appropriate proportion of its assets are funded from stable sources, including customer liabilities, longer-dated wholesale debt (with remaining term exceeding one year) and equity.

Analysis of funding liabilities by industry is based on ANZSIC codes. The significant categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC).

The presentation of these tables has changed from previous periods to align this disclosure with the classifications in the new data series S41 – Banks: Liabilities – Deposits by industry published by the RBNZ. This series uses ANZSIC 2006 industry classifications rather than ANZSIC 1996 that were previously used. Updated corresponding amounts as at 30 September 2016 have been provided for comparative purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contractual maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities

The following tables present 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.

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 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 UDC items classified as held for sale.

3 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

The Banking Group 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK TO INDIVIDUAL COUNTERPARTIES

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

For the three months ended 31 March 2017 there were no 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 equalled or exceeded 10% of equity (as at the end of the period).

16. INSURANCE BUSINESS

The Banking Group conducts insurance business through its subsidiary OnePath Life (NZ) Limited (OnePath Life).

The Banking Group’s aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total assets of OnePath Life of NZ$907 million (31/03/2016: NZ$943 million; 30/09/2016 NZ$926 million), which is 0.6% (31/03/2016: 0.6%; 30/09/2016 0.6%) of the total consolidated assets of the Banking Group.

¹ The comparative amount for undrawn facilities as at 31 March 2016 has been reduced by NZ$5,368 million following a review of the composition of commitments.

The Banking Group 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

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.

18. DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE

On 11 January 2017, the Bank announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to sell UDC to HNA Group for approximately NZ$660 million. Completion is expected late in the second half of the 2017 calendar year. The assets and liabilities of UDC are classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2017.

The sale is subject to closing steps and conditions including engaging with investors on the replacement of the Secured Investment programme and regulatory approvals.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholder of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited

We have reviewed pages 3 to 28 of the half year disclosure statement of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its related entities (the Banking Group) which includes interim financial statements prepared and disclosed in accordance with the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order) and supplementary information prescribed in schedules 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order. The interim financial statements and supplementary information provide information about the past financial performance and cash flows of the Banking Group for the six month period ended 31 March 2017 and its financial position as at 31 March 2017.

This report is made solely to the shareholder of the Bank. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholder of the Bank those matters we are required to state to them in the independent 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 shareholder of the Bank, for our review work, this report or any of the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibilities

The directors of ANZ Bank New Zealand 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, NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting , which present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2017 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date. The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as they determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half year 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.

Our responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an independent review opinion on the half year disclosure statement, which includes the interim financial statements disclosed in accordance with Clause 25 of the Order, and supplementary information disclosed in accordance with schedules 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order, as presented to us by the directors, and report our opinion to you.

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 NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2017 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month period 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 cause us to believe that the information disclosed in accordance with schedule 11 is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A) and disclosed in accordance with schedule 11 of the Order.

Basis of opinion

We have performed our review in accordance with the review engagement standard NZ Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410) issued by the External Reporting Board. As the auditor of the Banking Group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

A review is limited primarily to enquiries of the Banking Group’s personnel and analytical review procedures applied to the financial data, and thus provides less assurance than an audit. 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 interim financial statements.

Our firm has also provided other services to the Banking Group in relation to review and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, 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. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditors of the Banking Group for this engagement. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking Group.

Review opinion

We have examined the interim financial statements and supplementary information and based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

  • a) the interim financial statements on pages 3 to 28 (excluding the supplementary information disclosed in accordance with schedules 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order) have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Banking Group as at 31 March 2017 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date

  • b) the supplementary information (excluding supplementary information relating to capital adequacy) disclosed in accordance with schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order, does not fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which it relates in accordance with those schedules

  • c) the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy disclosed in accordance with schedule 11 of the Order is not, in all material respects, prepared in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A) and disclosed in accordance with schedule 11 of the Order.

Our review was completed on 12 May 2017 and our opinion is expressed as at that date.

Wellington
