ways. Operating Profit before Provision and tax rose 41% YOY to 8,138 million Yuan, a result of solid growth in deposits, loans, and fees, balance sheet management, active and profitable inter-bank investment, and conscious management of expenses. Another key event of the year was the relief of large amount of legacy NPLs through the special program of large provision and write-off in the fourth quarter of 2008, under the guidance of the regulatory authorities, in light of global economic conditions. With only 1.9 billion Yuan Non Performing Loan (‘NPL’) amount and NPL ratio at 0.68% at the end of 2008, the Bank attained a very strong starting position for 2009. For years, the Bank has endeavored to resolve its heavy historical NPL portfolio from loans made before 2005. The good collection, strong credit control of new loans, together with this special move at end of 2008, allowed the Bank to finally clear up the old problem loans entirely on its own. The Capital position of the Bank was also fundamentally improved in 2008. The Capital Adequacy Ratio reached the regulatory level, for the first time in many years, enabling the Bank to move ahead in a better position to embrace business opportunities. Commercial, retail, and inter-bank businesses all performed well during 2008. The Bank did not hold any investment in sub prime assets or assets issued by foreign financial institutions that went into problems, thus suffered no direct loss from the global financial crisis.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, we are delighted to share with you significant achievements Shenzhen Development Bank made in 2008. While financial institutions in the rest of the world have been struggling with financial and economic challenges, we are pleased to announce that the Bank not only continued its success in many ways but also importantly cleared up most of the legacy problem loans, starting the year of 2009 with an extremely clean balance sheet.

Key to overcoming all challenges and achieving progress is effective team work with clear vision. Since 2005, starting from a very low capital and very high NPL, the Bank has been pulling through a series of transformation steps, including cleaning up non performing loans, raising capital, overhauling its IT systems, making investment in selected business areas and people, as well as streamlining key processes. While the Bank has maintained a more solid fundamental and earning capability, in 2008, emphasis was given to further clarifying business objectives, building differentiated strength in key areas of focus, enhancing process efficiency, and speeding up outlet development.

2008 was a very successful and unusual year for the Bank. During the economic uncertainties and rapid policy changes, the whole team of the Bank demonstrated strong adaptability and further promoted the Bank’s growth and strength in many

In the meantime, the Bank maintained key principles of integrity, professionalism, customer service and efficiency, orienting all staff to building a competitive bank that customers can have great faith in.

2008 was the first year that the new session of the Board of Directors was in place for the full year, and the Bank benefited a great deal from directors’ very productive and professional guidance. The Board of Supervisors also performed diligent contributions. We believe the high standards set by the Board for the Bank have prompted us all to achieve more. The guidance from regulatory authorities was also essential for the Bank to achieve what it has in 2008, from capital raising, adaptation to economic conditions, to conquering of historical NPLs. As we look ahead in 2009, we are fully aware of new challenges. But starting with the momentum which brought the Bank out of the most challenging periods, we are confident that we can overcome obstacles and usher in an even brighter future. The Bank is addressing the economic uncertainties, the challenges faced by businesses and individuals, and the implications of policy changes as in 2009. The objective is to maintain the Bank in the right position to achieve healthy growth in light of the economic environment. While playing its role to support the economy, the Bank will continue high attention to its credit soundness as it works on building strength in key strategic areas, including developing and remodeling its outlet network, effective investment in IT infrastructure, training, and further streamlining processes in both operations and management. On this occasion of sharing reports of progress, we also extend our sincere thanks to shareholders for your trust and support. We are happy about progress the Bank has made in the past and we will continue strong efforts towards further success.

Risk Management

Effective risk management measures increased the Bank’s valuation Despite the uncertainties of the current economic environment, SDB achieved excellent results through the implementation of a wide range of measures for managing asset quality. These measures were successful at keeping credit, market, interest rate, operational and liquidity risk well under control. Significant improvements were also made in the identification and management of risk, as well as the reversal of non-performing assets. The Bank had no investments related to subprime mortgages or similar assets in overseas financial institutions. This ensured that SDB was not directly affected by the global crisis in subprime mortgages or the under-performance of institutions carrying them. SDB responded rapidly to China’s regulatory authority, which requested that the country’s banking sector meet local and international financial challenges. In the fourth quarter of 2008, SDB set aside large loan loss provisions and made large write-offs. The results were encouraging, and the Bank was relieved from legacy non-performing assets created before 2005. The NPL and the NPL ratio have dropped to RMB 1.9 billion and 0.68% respectively. As at the date of this report, the Bank’s provision coverage ratio and provision adequacy ratio reached 105% and 365% respectively.

According to CBRC’s CAR computation formula, computable value of long-term sub debts is limited within 50% of net core capital. Up to 31 December 2008, the Bank’s net core capital was 14.7 billion Yuan, and issuance amount of long-term sub debts was 8 billion Yuan, thus 0.65 billion Yuan sub debts were not counted into supplementary capital, which can work as supplementary capital after net core capital is further improved.

As of the end of the reported period, over due loan balance increased by 500 million Yuan from the beginning of the year to 790 million Yuan.

As of the end of the reported period, non-accruing loan balance was 1,870 million Yuan, decreased by 10,200 million Yuan from the beginning of the year. The primary reasons are: a) the Bank made a special massive provision and write-offs at the end of the reported period; b) the Bank strengthened management of lending term, tracked repayment of matured loans and monitored assets quality, and took measures to urge clients and guarantee timely repayments.

3 Loan impairment charges and write-offs in the reported period On the basis of a number of factors including borrower’s capacity, principal and interest repayment status, values of collaterals and pledges, guarantor’s capacity, and loan management status, the Bank makes appropriate loan impairment provision from the income statement individually or collectively according to the risk level and recoverability and the estimated present value of future cash flow.

N Various Risks Facing Commercial Banks and Risk Management Status 1 Credit risk Credit risk of the Bank mainly arises from loans and off-balance sheet credit business. The Bank established Credit Portfolio Management Committee to review and determine the strategies for credit risk management, preference of credit risk and all sorts of credit risk management policies and standards. In 2008, pursuant to changes of external conditions, the bank strengthened study of economic tendencies and state macro policies, formulated and adjusted the guidelines of credit policy for corporate and retail business and for specific industries, emphasized development of SMEs, trade finance and retail credit, and strictly executed the state policy against “high energy consuming, high pollution” industries. Through establishment of strategic client classification and management system and the client entering and withdrawing system, the Bank realized continuous development of credit business. The bank established an independent vertical system for credit risk management by implementing credit officer system, and appointed Chief Credit Officer in the head office. Credit officers are assigned to each line and branch, and directly report to Chief Credit Risk Officer. The Chief Credit Officer is in charge of the performance evaluation of each credit officer, and implementing standard credit authorization, credit approval, and procedure and standards for post-lending management. In 2008, the bank carried out the “Excellence Project”, optimized head office organization and improved efficiency of credit management and service of head office. The Bank established a set of standard procedures for credit approval and management including credit survey, credit investigation/approval, credit lending, post-lending monitoring and management of collection; conducted deep and all-sided credit survey during the operating process strictly in accordance with “KYC” (Know Your Customer) principle, enhanced strict investigation on rationality of loans usage and authenticity of trade background, emphasized on analysis of the first repayment source of credit applicants, so as to strictly controlled credit risk. In 2008, the Bank increased daily monitoring work on credit business, carried out special investigations on key areas and weak segments, and discovered and disposed early warnings for credit risk in a timely manner; formulated special implementation measures for risk monitoring and early-warning on warehouse pledge business and reinforced the monitoring and early-warning work; built emergency treatments to credit business and reporting mechanism, and communicated and researched effective counter-measures timely; intervened in advance to mitigate risk in case a major early-warning signal appearing towards a customer. In 2008, the Bank’s new credit risk management system was extended to operate across the bank. This system covers the overall credit procedure including the steps of investigation, approval, lending and post-loan management. Based on the CBRC 5-tier classifications, the Bank categorize credit assets risk into ten tiers, including tier-1 normal, tier-2 normal, tier-3 normal, tier-4 normal, tier-5 normal, tier-1 special mention, tier-2 special mention, subordinated, doubtful, and loss, and beside that a “writeoff” tier is set aside. The Bank takes applies different management policies to different loan classifications, meanwhile strictly abides by the regulator’s provision on proportion of lending to a single group client and a single legal person client, and effectively controls concentration risk by strengthening capital ability and participating in consortium loan. In 2008, while strengthening credit risk management, the Bank also enhanced disposal of NPLs and dealt with NPLs through various channels. NPLs kept stable decline and credit assets quality was improved remarkably. In 2008 4Q, the bank made a special massive provision and writeoffs in accordance with regulatory requirements, effectively disposed legacy NPLs initially issued before 2005.

2 Market risk The principal market risk facing the Bank comes from position of interest rate and exchange rate products. Either trading business or nontrading business of the Bank could incur market risk. The target of market risk management is to avoid excessive loss of revenue or equity caused by it, meanwhile to offset the impact of volatility risk of financial instruments on the Bank. The Bank set up the Asset/Liability Committee to formulate policies of market risk management and to determine the targets of both market risk management and position limit on market risk. The committee is also responsible for dynamically controlling business volume and structure, interest rate and liquidity. The specialized department under the Asset/Liability Management Committee undertakes regular responsibility of market risk monitoring, including determining a reasonable level of market risk exposure, monitoring daily operation of treasury business, giving advice to adjust maturity structure and interest rate structure of assets and liabilities. Interest rate risk of the bank comes from the mismatch of maturity date or contract re-pricing date between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Bank are primarily priced by RMB. PBOC has provisions on the lower rate limit for basic RMB loans and upper rate limit for basic RMB deposits. The bank manages interest rate risk primarily by adjusting assets/liability structure, regularly monitoring sensitive gaps of interest rate, and adopting risk exposure analysis to statically measure characteristics of assets/liability re-pricing. The Bank regularly convenes Assets/Liability Management Committee to predict future interest rate tendency, adjust assets/liability structure and manage interest rate risk exposure. Exchange rate risk of the Bank mainly includes risk of loss due to negative exchange rate changes from foreign exchange exposure caused by currency structure imbalance between foreign currency assets and liabilities as well as foreign exchange exposure caused by foreign exchange derivatives trading. Exchange rate risk facing the Bank primarily derives from loans, advances, investment and deposits held by the Bank which are not priced by RMB. The Bank set limits for each currency position, daily monitor scale of currency position and controls the position within a settled limit by hedging strategy.

Annual report 2008 Shenzhen Development Bank

3 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the shortage of capital for repayment while liabilities maturing. Mismatched amount or maturity of assets and liabilities could incur the risk. In order to monitor the risk effectively, the bank emphasized on diversifying the capital sources, improving proportion of core deposits and monitoring capital sources, use of capital, as well as loan and deposit scale on a daily basis. The Bank maintained a scale of bonds with high liquidity, which can be converted into cash in time if needed. Besides, the Bank held a large quantity of high-quality HTM bonds available for Repo, which could be used as additional financing channel. Also, the bank has additional cash placed with other banks. The Bank regularly monitors and manages its cash position, made regular stress test on liquidity, and provided corresponding solutions to test results under different scenarios.

4 Operational risk Operational risk is the risk resulting from defective internal procedure, operator error or fraud, and external events. In 2008, the Bank kept the concept of controlling operational risk from six dimensions of "people, regulation procedure, system, inspection and supervision, report and database" to build the risk management system for accounting and settlement operations across the Bank; fulfilled the requirement of properly managing operational risk with regulatory authorities in a systematic manner; strengthened management and training for operational risk prevention and control staff; improved operations system; streamlined and reconstructed business procedures; optimized system functions; adopted new methods monitoring operational risk; reevaluated operational risk; analyzed and monitored indices changes of key operational risks on a daily basis; timely published risk reminders; carried out investigation on operational risk; enhanced supervision; combined risk monitoring, investigation and supervision in an effective way; improved comprehensive skill for preventing operational risk. On the other hand, incorporated suggestions of external consulting company on operational risk control of business procedures and the risk prevention and control suggestions from the “woodpecker” campaign, the Bank earnestly assessed and analyzed loopholes in operational risk prevention and control, formulated specified action plan and actively make rectification, so as to improve prevention and control ability of operational risk .

5 Other risks Other risks facing the Bank include compliance risk and legal risk. The Bank set up complete compliance management system at the Head Office and branches, responsible for such responsibilities as recognition, monitoring, and report of compliance risk, as well as compliance consultancy and education. The department regularly report to the Audit and Related Party Transaction Control Committee under the board, and receive guidance from the committee. In 2008, the Bank made a lot of work in improvement of compliance management structure, promotion of independence and leadership of compliance offices at branches, explanation and advocacy of policies and regulations, compliance risk recognition and control for new product and business, system streamlining, management of related party transaction, antimoney laundering, and cultivation of compliance culture, and as a result effectively managed the compliance risk. In respect of legal risk control, the bank focused on the step of legal approval in business procedures, standardized contract samples and articles, fully involved in the decision-making processes such as system formulation and development of new products. Meanwhile, the Bank engaged a well-known legal firm in China as the external legal consultant, in order to provide professional opinion about major legal affairs. Thus the legal risks of various businesses were effectively controlled.

O Integrity, Rationality and Effectiveness of Internal Control System 1 Self-appraisal on internal control by BOD In 2008, the management team of the Bank effectively operated under the guidance of board with its special committees, further improved internal control, and paid constant attention to internal control system building while developing business. The internal control system covers each business procedure and operational step, and control and management of current managing departments as well as branches and sub-branches. Although there are some areas needed to be further improved, the management team is highly aware of these issues and has scheduled improvement measures. On balance, internal control mechanism of the Bank is sufficient, solid and effective, internal control system is complete, and there subsists no material internal control deficiencies. (Please refer to the Internal Control Self-Appraisal Report of Shenzhen Development Bank disclosed on the same day for specifics.)

2 BOS’s comments on self-appraisal of internal control During the report period, the Bank adhered to the basic principles of internal control in accordance with relevant provisions of CSRC and SSE, set up complete and rational internal control system based on the Bank’s actual status, and carried out good execution in business activities, which was generally consistent with relevant requirements of CSRC and SSE. The 2008 self-appraisal of internal control of the Bank accurately and completely reflects the current status of internal control and main aspects to be improved. The rectification plan is practical and satisfies the long-term development requirement of internal control.

3 Independent directors’ comments on self-appraisal of internal control In accordance with relevant provisions of the Commercial Banking Law of P.R.C, Guidance for Internal Control of Commercial Banks and Guidance for Internal Control of Listed Companies of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, SDB established and improved a series of systems, procedures and methods to prevent and control risks to fulfill risks prevention and cautious operation.

Note: During 2008, the Bank achieved 41% growth in operating profit before provision, reached the CAR requirement, grew loans and deposits significantly, managed risks, and improved operations in a number of ways. The Committee & Board recognized that the large provision taken in 2008 was related almost totally to the old portfolio, and did not reflect the current-year performance of the bank officers. The Committee & Board also took into consideration the current environment in setting the compensation for executives, and concluded that, despite the Bank’s very good achievements in 2008, it would be appropriate for the executive compensation reported above to generally decline from the figures reported for 2007. In the case of President Xiao, 2007 was his first year with the bank, and was a partial year, so 2007 and 2008 are not directly comparable. The Board has determined that, in light of the environment in 2009, salaries for executives will be frozen for 2009, and target amounts for performance bonuses for executives will be reduced from the levels set for 2008. In addition, the Compensation Committee is examining alternative ways in which portions of annual performance bonuses for executives would be deferred and made contingent on continued performance of the bank over a period beyond a single year. The Board Intends to implement such a program in 2009.

Many directors donated portions of their fees during 2008 to support relief and rebuilding after the earthquake in Sichuan.

Report of the Board of Directors

On 26 November 2008, after application was made by both parties to the Settlement Agreement, the Supreme People’s Court ruled out (2008) Civil 60 Second Trial Reconciliation Letter under such the causes of action that the Bank filed a lawsuit against Dong Han Property and Cheng Jian Dong Hua regarding the dispute of right of revocation [Case (2005) High Court Civil 1371 First Trial], affirming that the above Settlement Agreement was reached by both parties’ authentic will and it is not in violation of laws, administrative regulations and other prohibitive rules. On the same day, this Reconciliation Letter took effect by law after both parties signed it. Under such the causes of action that Cheng Jian Dong Hua did not perform the obligation to pay cash 0.7 billion Yuan to the Bank within the stipulated term (within three days after the Reconciliation letter comes into effect) of the above Reconciliation Letter, nor did Beida Jade and Dong Hua Property perform the guarantee responsibility as the guarantors, on 15 December 2008, the Bank entrusted the representative lawyer to file Application Letter for Enforcement to Beijing High People’s Court (“Beijing High Court”) which ruled the first trial of this case. On 22 December 2008, Beijing High Court ruled out (2009) High Court Execution 2 Notice of Acceptance of Application for Execution, which considered that the enforcement application by the Bank is subject to legal conditions and determined to register the case for execution. On 1 Febuary 2009, Beijing High Court ruled out (2009) High Court Execution 2 Civil Ruling, appointing Bejing No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court to execute the dispute of right of revocation between the Bank and Dong Hua Property and Cheng Jian Dong Hua. At present, the case is still under execution. Holding of foreign currency financial assets There are two sorts of foreign currency financial assets held by the Bank; the brokerage investment and proprietary investment. One part of brokerage investment is for close position of wealth management product, structure of which completed matched with wealth management product of the Bank, hedging against market risk entirely; another part of brokerage investment if for brokerage foreign currency exchange, which has simple product structure and adequate liquidity, with most trading partners as domestic major banks. Proprietary investment is mainly for bond investment and inter-bank borrowing and lending. Subjects of bond investment largely are foreign currency bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance of China or domestic policy banks, or bonds issued by overseas major banks backed in full amount by foreign governments. Investment product of this kind comprises simple structure, consistent price and stable market value. Counterparties of interbank borrowing and lending mainly are domestic banks, thus fund security is guaranteed. The Bank does not have any bond or assets/ properties backed securities investment with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, or any investment to Lehman Brothers. Most overseas trading partners are major international investment/commercial banks, home companies of which are mostly rated AA by Standard & Poor’s.

It designed and issued 76 wealth management products, with the sales volume on a par with that of 2007. The Bank made substantial breakthrough in commercial wealth management products and achieved great increase. In 2008, put into consideration the operation features of capital market and features of balance sheet structure of the bank, the bank expanded inter-bank business scale and bonds investment volume. Although interest spread of inter-bank business is lower than that of loan business, and growth of inter-bank business brings down the average interest spread, considering inter-bank business takes up less risk weighted asset, it is still a profitable business division. Therefore, the Bank expanded inter-bank business scale in 2008. Meanwhile, the bank purchased PBOC notes and treasury bonds with the increased fund from time deposit growth to consolidate liquidity, and realized investment return partly brought by the PBOC interest cut in 2008. The Bank realized 400 million Yuan investment return in total. In respect of RMB bond investment, the Bank tracked the market trend and adopted flexible operation strategy, seizing every opportunity of bond yield turnaround, so as to realize price difference income and promote portfolio profitability; In respect of foreign currency bonds investment, the bank dealt with the financial crisis seriously and prevented new risks of foreign currency business. At the beginning of the year anticipated sub prime crisis will unravel in 2008, the Bank halted trading of foreign currency bonds. Bond investment mainly concentrated on the government bonds with high credit rating or bonds backed by government. In 2008, the Bank on the one hand developing inter-bank business with stable steps, on the other hand actively improved platform integration and process optimization; improved system, optimized process, refined authorization, strengthened training, strictly regulated trading approaches, emphasized risk awareness, expanded talent reservoir, improved professional skills of staff, and notably reinforced team spirit. The Bank improved liquidity management and assured liquidity safety for the whole year; realized all-around liquidity gap monitoring and liquidity mix management, and improved ability of predicting liquidity gap and capability of raising capital. The system of personal firm bid on buying and selling foreign exchange was put in place, which filled a business gap of the Bank. The Bank launched the open-end wealth management system and upgraded the gold trading system for odd/even month new contract types; launched new products including commercial single/ collective wealth management products, wealth management products for off-shore clients, bill trust wealth management products, and interbank brokerage wealth management products, thus products system and marketing channels tended to be more complete. The Bank make a breakthrough in underwriting debts financing instrument, successfully registered three issue projects which will be launched in 2009, this means that the business of debts financing instruments underwriting of the Bank comes to a new stage. The qualification of gold storage bank was approved by the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and the qualification of gold business broker of small and medium financial institutions was approved by the PBOC Shenzhen Sub-Branch. Liquidity management Management team of the Bank places great attention to liquidity management. Liquidity status is solid. At the end of 2008, all liquidity ratios met the regulatory requirements. Various deposits grew quickly in 2008 and growth between months was relatively stable, on account of considerable deposit inflow following capital market fluctuation. As lending growth was strictly in compliance with PBOC requirement, loan to deposit ratio fell down continuously compared with previous years. The Bank enhanced bond and PBOC note investment in the reported period, the bonds and PBOC notes that can be sold at secondary market right away rose remarkably compared with the beginning of the year, thus capacity to deal with liquidity pressure was reinforced. In 2008, the Bank issued 8 billion Yuan sub debts in aggregate; and exercise of the second block SFC2 warrants brought in 1.8 billion Yuan. Those two long-term funds added substantial liquidity to the Bank. The Bank kept on diversifying liquidity management measures, improved process of liquidity risk management, so as to monitor overall liquidity status accurately and timely. Sensitive analysis of interest rate In respect of interest rate management, as loan re-pricing is slower than deposit re-pricing in line with the re-pricing maturity structure of the Bank, deposit rate decline is faster than loan rate decline in the short term while in the downward rate cycle. However, because majority of deposits of the Bank are demand deposits and short-term time deposits, and demand deposit rate cut by PBOC for the five sessions was lower than the other deposits and loans rate cut, therefore, effect of deposit rate decline appeared early than loan rate decline. But net interest margin will not be greatly increased in the short term because the trend of total deposits rate decline will be dragged down by demand deposit. In the long run, with re-pricing effect shows up, impact of loan will cover impact of deposit and incur net interest margin narrowing down. Organizational construction In 2008, the bank set 29 new sub-branches, among which 9 ones are in Northern and Northeast China, 7 in Southwest China, 8 in Eastern China and 5 in Southern China.

6 Future expectation and action plans Industry status quo, development trend and competition pattern In 2008, the global financial crisis swept real economy and some industries were trapped into difficulty. Credit risk was adding and asset quality of global banking industry was under pressure. According to public announcement, in face of downward macro economy, China’s economic policy switched from preventing economy overheating at the beginning of 2008 to maintaining the smooth, steady and rapid economic development as the primary task for 2009. China will employ the moderately loose monetary policy in this year. The Bank will actively adjust credit policy in line with policy guidance of central government, embrace opportunities brought by national economy stimulus projects, and actively issue good quality loans to realize sustainable business growth. The Bank will also promote fund using efficiency and offset negative impact of interest cut by enhancing interest rate management and guiding branches to price rationally. In the meantime, the Bank would always strictly control various risks, explore low risk businesses and fee business, and further improve internal control. The target is to promote both management and business performance through streamlining management methods, implementing process reengineering, and enhancing system development and training. In line with regulatory requirements for small and medium sized banks in the 4th quarter to deal with current domestic and overseas financial and economic situations, the Bank made a special large provision and write-offs at the end of 2008, which substantially disposed legacy NPLs and laid a good foundation for the Bank to resist future credit risk and other uncertainties. Meanwhile, improved overall asset profitability of the Bank will pave the way for future profit growth, which will also help improve provision level and risk withholding capability. Trends at start of 2009 In light of the unusual economic environment, the Bank notes the following business trends in early 2009: (a) Business growth The overall business of the Bank YTD 2009 has been stable and sound. The Bank has achieved continuous strong growth in deposits, both commercial and retail. From late 2008, after PBC relieved the lending limit on banks, in response to the government stimulus program, the bank initiated new lending programs and loans achieved good growth. However, in light of uncertainties in the economy, the Bank has been giving special attention to matters of credit quality, as a condition of loan growth. (b) Profit Net profit for the first 2 months of 2009 exceeded that of the same period in 2008. Net interest income in the first 2 months in 2009 achieved single digit percentage growth compared with the same period in 2008, due to good growth in average earning assets and improvements in the balance sheet more than offsetting some decline in NIM. The Bank expects the NIM to decline in future quarters of 2009 as a result of the interest rate reduction by PBOC in late 2008 as well as increases in the Bank’s portfolio of interbank assets, resulting largely from strong deposit growth. The bank hopes to help offset part of the effect of spread pressure by growth of good assets, combined with appropriate management of the balance sheet.

10 Fair values Subject to the existence of financial instruments in an active market, the bank adopts the price of active markets to determine its fair values for preference. Subject to the existence of financial instruments in an inactive market, the bank adopts evaluation technology to determine its fair values. Evaluation technology includes reference to familiar circumstances and the price used in latest market trading of each party voluntary for trading, and reference to the current fair values and discounted cash flow technique of other essentially same financial instruments. Evaluation technology may use market parameter if feasible. However, the management tem needs to evaluate in light of the credit risk, market fluctuation rate and relevance of itself and the trading counterparts when lack of market parameter. The change of those relevant assumptions will influence the fair values of financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions have been used in estimating fair value by the bank: i Financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative financial assets/derivative financial liabilities) are measured at fair value by reference to the quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of discounted cash flows or by reference to the quotes provided by counterparty. The carrying amounts of these items are equal to their fair values. ii The fair values of the held-to-maturity investments and the receivables-bond investments are determined with reference to the available market values. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated on the basis of discounted cash flows. The fair values of bonds assets of receivables are determined by the cost; iii The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities maturing within 12 months are assumed to be approximately equal to their carrying amounts due to their short maturity. iv The fair values of the fixed rate loans are estimated by comparing the market interest rates when the loans are granted with the current market rates offered on similar loans. Changes in credit quality of loans within the portfolio are not taken into account in determining gross fair values as the impact of credit risk is recognised separately by deducting the amount of the impairment provision from both the carrying amount and the fair value. v Interest rates on customer deposits might either be floating or fixed depending on the types of products. The fair values of saving accounts and deposits without maturity date are the amounts payable on demand to customers. The fair values of deposits with fixed terms are determined by the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate adopted is the current interest rate on deposits with the same maturity as the remaining maturity of those deposits. vi

Investment real estate is evaluated by independent value with certified qualification each year, and analysis report is issued every quarter.

Auditors’ Report Ernst & Young Hua Ming (2009) Shenzi No. 60438538_H01 To the shareholders of Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Limited We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements The management is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. This responsibility includes (1) designing, implementing and maintaining the internal control relevant to the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error; (2) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and (3) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Chinese Auditing Standards issued by the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain a reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider the internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting polices used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended.

PRC GAAP Financial Statements

Notes to the Financial Statements A General Information Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) as a result of the restructuring of six agricultural credit co-operatives into a joint stock commercial bank with limited liability. The Company was established on 22 December 1987 after the initial public offering of its RMB ordinary shares on 10 May 1987. The Company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on 3 April 1991 and the stock code is 000001. The institution number of the Company on the 00000028 approval document issued by the China Banking Regulatory Commission is B0014H144030001. The business licence number of the Company issued by the Shenzhen Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce is 440301103098545. The Company is principally engaged in authorised commercial and retail banking activities in the PRC. The registered office of the Company is located at No. 5047, Shennan Road East, Luohu District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, PRC. Headquartered in Shenzhen, the Company operates its business in the PRC.

B Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises – Basic Standard” and 38 specific standards, Implementation Guidance, Interpretations and other relevant regulations (hereafter collectively referred to as “ASBEs”), issued by the Ministry of Finance, PRC (hereafter referred to as the “MOF”) in February 2006. The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis.

Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ASBEs and present fairly the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2008 and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2008.

C Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates 1 Accounting year The accounting year of the Company is from 1 January to 31 December.

2 Functional currency The Company’s functional and presentation currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). Unless otherwise stated, the values are rounded to the nearest thousand of Renminbi.

3 Basis of accounting and measurement The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis using the historical cost as the basis of measurement, except for financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, investment properties and share-based payments that have been measured at fair value. If an asset is impaired, a provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised in accordance with the relevant requirements.

4 Foreign currency translation The Company translates the amount of foreign currency transactions into its functional currency. A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. All exchange differences are recognised in the income statement. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. All exchange differences are recognised in the income statement.

5 Precious metal The Company’s precious metals represent gold. Precious metals are initially measured at cost. At the balance sheet date, precious metals are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. If the cost of precious metals is higher than the net realisable value, a provision for the decline in value of precious metals is recognised in the income statement.

6 Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements Assets sold under agreements to repurchase at a specific future date are not derecognised from the balance sheet. The corresponding proceeds are recognised on the balance sheet under “Repurchase agreements”. The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method. Conversely, assets purchased under agreements to resell at a specific future date are not recognised on the balance sheet. The corresponding cost is recognised on the balance sheet under “Reverse repurchase agreements”. The difference between the purchase price and the resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method.

7 Financial assets The Company classifies its financial assets into four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity investments; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale financial assets. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value. In the case of a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are charged to the income statement. For other financial assets, transaction costs are included in their initial recognition amounts. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss by management upon initial recognition. Financial assets classified as held for trading include those financial assets that meet one of the following conditions: 1) they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; 2) they are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is objective evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking; or 3) they are derivative instruments unless they are designated and effective hedging instruments. After initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at their fair values. All related realised and unrealised gains or losses are included in the income statement. Of which, changes in fair value are recognised in “Gains or losses from changes in fair values” and interest earned is accrued in interest income according to the terms of the contract. A hybrid instrument can be designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows of the hybrid instrument; or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid instrument is considered that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. A financial asset or financial liability may be designated, on initial recognition, as at fair value through profit or loss only when one of the following conditions is met: (i) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency of the related gains or losses that would otherwise result from measuring assets or liabilities on a different basis. (ii) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, and the information about the group is reported on that basis to the Company’s key management personnel. Formal documentation has been prepared with respect to such risk management or investment strategy. (iii) the hybrid instrument is embedded with derivatives which are required to be separately accounted for. Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity date that the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity financial investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the held-to-maturity investments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. If the Company has, during the current financial year, sold or reclassified (to available-for-sale financial assets) items of held-to-maturity investments, whose amount is significant in relation to the total amount of the held-to-maturity investments before the sale or reclassification, the Company shall reclassify the remaining portion of the held-to-maturity investments as available-for-sale investments, and the Company shall not again classify any financial assets as held-to-maturity investments in the current and the next two financial years. However, sales or reclassifications under the following circumstances are exceptions to the above: (i) sales or reclassifications are so close to maturity or the financial asset’s call date (for example, less than three months before maturity) that changes in the market rate of interest would not have a significant effect on the financial asset’s fair value. (ii) sales or reclassifications of the remaining portion of the financial asset occur after the Company has collected substantially all of the financial asset’s original principal through scheduled payments or prepayments. (iii) sales or reclassifications are attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the Company’s control and is non-recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Company.

(Continued)

7 Financial assets (Continued) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Loans and receivables mainly include loans and advances to customers, receivables and discounted bills. Discounted bills are granted by the Company to its customers based on the bank acceptance held which has not matured. Discounted bills are carried at fair value less unrealised interest income. The interest income of the discounted bills is recognised on an accrual basis. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated on initial recognition as available-for-sale or those financial assets that are not classified as other categories. After the initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest earned whilst holding available-for-sale financial assets is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate. Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in owner’s equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses resulted from monetary financial assets, until the financial assets are derecognised, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in owner’s equity are removed from owner’s equity and recognised in the income statement.

8 Impairment of financial assets An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is evidence of impairment of financial assets (other than those at fair value through profit or loss) as a result of one or more events that occur after the initial recognition of those assets (an incurred “loss event”) and whether that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and the situation where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments has been incurred, the carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced to the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The amount of reduction is recognised as an impairment loss in the income statement. Present value of estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate and includes the value of any related collateral. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. Future cash flows of a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the impact of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to eliminate the impact of historical conditions that do not exist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Company. If, subsequent to the recognition of an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortised cost, there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of the financial asset which can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss shall be reversed and recognised in the income statement. However, the reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset has been incurred, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of that financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. The impairment loss on the financial asset shall not be reversed.

C Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

(Continued)

8 Impairment of financial assets (Continued) Available-for-sale financial assets If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, the cumulative loss arising from the decline in fair value that had been recognised directly in owners’ equity shall be removed from owners’ equity and recognised in the income statement. The amount of the accumulated loss that is removed from owners’ equity shall be the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement. A provision for impairment is made for available-for-sale equity investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement. If, after an impairment loss has been recognised on an available-for-sale debt instrument, the fair value of the debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale shall not be reversed through the income statement.

9 Financial liabilities The Company classifies its financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts, deposits and other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss The Company classifies its financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss into financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss by management upon initial recognition. Changes in fair value are recognised in “Gains or losses from changes in fair values” and interest incurred is accrued in interest expense according to the terms of the contract. Financial guarantee contracts The Company gives financial guarantees consisting of letters of credit, guarantees, and acceptances. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value, in “Other liabilities”, being the premium received. The guarantee fee is amortised over the period of the contract and is recognised as fee and commission income. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company’s liability under each guarantee contract is measured at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee. Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is taken to the income statement. Other financial liabilities Except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee contracts, deposits and other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

10 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognised when one of the following conditions is met: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition as set out below. Transfer of financial assets The Company transfers a financial asset in one of the following ways: (i) the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset to another party; or (ii) the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to the eventual recipient(s) in an arrangement that meets all of the following conditions: (a) the Company’s obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipient(s) arises only when it has collected equivalent amounts from the original financial asset. Short-term advances by the Company with the right of full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates for bank loans of equivalent terms do not violate this condition. (b) the Company is prohibited by the terms of the transfer contract from selling or pledging the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipient(s) for the obligation to pay them cash flows. (c) the Company has an obligation to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipient(s) without material delay. In addition, the Company is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents during the intervening period between two consecutive payments, which are invested in accordance with the terms of the contract. Income earned on such investments (i.e., reinvesting the cash flows according to the terms of the contract) is passed to the eventual recipient(s) according to the contract terms. When the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset to the transferee, the financial asset is derecognised. When the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

C Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

(Continued)

10 Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments (Continued) Transfer of financial assets (Continued) When the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it accounts for the transaction as follows: (i) when the Company has not retained control of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised; (ii) when the Company has retained control of the financial asset, the financial asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and an associated liability is recognised. A financial liability is derecognised when the underlying present obligation is performed, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

11 Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the hybrid instrument is not carried at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. Certain derivative transactions, while providing effective economic hedges under the Company’s risk management positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting and are therefore treated as derivatives held for trading with fair value gains or losses recognised in the income statement.

12 Long term equity investments A long term equity investment is measured initially at its investment cost. A long term investment is accounted for using the cost method if the Company can exercise control over the investee, or does not have joint control or significant influence over the investee and the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured. Under the cost method, a long term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee are recognised as investment income in the current period. However, investment income recognised is limited to the amount distributed to it out of accumulated net profits of the investee arising after the investment was made. Any cash dividends or distributions received in excess of this amount are treated as a recovery of initial investment cost. When the Company can exercise joint control or significant influence over the investee, a long term equity investment is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, when the initial investment cost of a long term equity investment exceeds the Company’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. When initial investment cost is less than the Company’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is charged to the income statement for the current year, and the cost of the long term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, after acquiring a long term equity investment, the Company recognises its share of the net profits or losses made by the investee as investment income or losses, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the portion of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee that is attributed to the Company. The Company shall discontinue recognising its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long term equity investment together with any long term interest that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero, except to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations to assume additional losses. The Company shall adjust the carrying amount of the long term investment for other changes in owners’ equity of the investee (other than net profits or losses), and include the corresponding adjustment in equity. On disposal of a long term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. For a long term equity investment accounted for using the equity method, any changes in the owners’ equity of the investee (other than net profits or losses) included in the owners’ equity of the Company, is transferred to the income statement on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion disposed of. For a long term equity investment accounted for using the cost method and which is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of that financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. The impairment loss on the financial asset shall not be reversed. For long term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, any impairment is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy set out in Note C.17.

13 Investment properties Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. The investment properties of the Company are buildings that are leased out. The Company adopts the fair value model for the measurement of investment properties which are not depreciated or amortised. At each period end, the carrying value of the investment properties is adjusted based on the fair value, and any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is accounted for in the income statement. For a transfer of owner-occupied property to investment property, the investment property is measured at its fair value at the date of transfer. If the fair value at the date of transfer is less than the original carrying amount, the difference is charged to the income statement. If the fair value at the date of transfer exceeds the original carrying amount, the difference is recognised as capital reserve in owners’ equity. On disposal of an investment property, the amount that had been recognised in equity is transferred to the income statement. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, its fair value at the date of transfer is regarded as the carrying amount of the owner-occupied property. The difference between the fair value and the original carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

14 Fixed assets Recognition of fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and have useful lives more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognised only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset that meet the above conditions are included in the cost of the fixed asset, otherwise they are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Measurement and depreciation of fixed assets Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. All fixed assets are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises the purchase price, related taxes, and any directly attributable expenditures of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, such as delivery and handling costs, installation costs and professional fees. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. The Company reasonably determines the useful lives and estimated net residual values of the fixed assets according to the natures and use patterns of the fixed assets as follows: Properties and buildings Transportation vehicles Computers Electronic appliances Owner-occupied property improvement

Useful life

Estimated net residual value (%)

Annual depreciation rate (%)

30 years 6 years 3 or 5 years 5 or 10 years 5 or 10 years

1 3 1 1 –

3.3 16.2 33.0 or 19.8 19.8 or 9.9 20.0 or 10.0

The useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

15 Construction in progress Construction in progress represents costs incurred in the construction of fixed assets. Costs comprise direct costs incurred during the period of construction. Interest charged on related borrowings for the construction is capitalised and such capitalisation of interest ceases when the assets under construction are completed and are ready for their intended use. No capitalisation of interest is made if the cost incurred during the construction is from the Company’s own fund. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of fixed assets when completed and ready for use.

16 Intangible assets Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company. The Company’s intangible assets comprise the value of computer software. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. The Company analyses and assesses the useful life of an intangible asset on its acquisition. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company. When the asset is available for use, an intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortised over its useful life. The amortisation method selected reflects the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are expected to be realised. If that pattern cannot be determined reliably, the straight-line method is used. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised. The useful life and amortisation method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each balance sheet date. If the expected useful life of the asset or the amortisation method differs significantly from previous assessments, the amortisation period or amortisation method is changed accordingly as a change in accounting estimate.

17 Impairment of assets For assets excluding financial assets and repossessed assets, the Company assesses impairment of assets as follows. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that assets may be impaired. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, a recoverable amount is estimated for the asset. For an asset with an indefinite useful life, the asset is tested for impairment at least at each financial year-end, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of an asset on an individual basis. If the result of the recoverable amount calculation indicates the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is recognised as an impairment loss and charged to the income statement. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. Once an impairment loss is recognised, it shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

18 Repossessed assets Repossessed assets are initially recognised at fair value. The difference between the initial fair value and the sum of the related loan principal, interest receivable and impairment provision is taken into the income statement. At the balance sheet date, the repossessed assets are measured at the lower of their carrying value and net realisable value. When the carrying value of the repossessed assets is higher than the net realisable value, a provision for the decline in value of repossessed assets is recognised in the income statement.

19 Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest income and interest expense For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and interest-bearing financial instruments classified as available-for-sale financial investments, interest income or expense is recorded at the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not the future credit losses. The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability is adjusted if the Company revises its estimates of payments or receipts. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original effective interest rate. The change in carrying amount is recorded as interest income or expense. Once the recorded value of a financial assets or a group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original effective interest rate applied to the new carrying amount. Fee and commission income Fee and commission income is recognised when the services have been rendered and the proceeds can be reasonably estimated.

20 Income tax Income tax comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax balances. Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for a period. Taxable profit is the profit for a period, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, using tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: (i) where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which contains both of the following characteristics, in this case the transaction is not a business combination; and it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction; (ii) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in jointly-controlled enterprises, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused deductible losses and tax credits, the Company recognises the corresponding deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that: 1) is not a business combination; and 2) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in jointly-controlled enterprises, the corresponding deferred tax asset is recognised, to the extent that, it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws. At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction in the amount is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. Current and deferred tax of the Company is recognised as income or an expense and included in the income statement for the current period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction or event which is recognised directly in owner’s equity.

21 Employee benefits Short term employee benefits Salaries and bonuses, social security contributions and other short-term employee benefits are accrued in the period in which services are rendered by the employees of the Company. Defined contribution plans According to the statutory requirements in Mainland China, the Company is required to make contributions to the pension and insurance schemes that are separately administered by the local government authorities. Contributions to these plans are recognised in the income statement as incurred. In addition, the Company participates in a defined contribution retirement benefit insurance plan managed by an insurance company. Obligation for contributions to the insurance plan is borne by the Company, and contributions paid by the Company are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Supplementary retirement benefits Certain employees of the Company in Mainland China can enjoy supplementary retirement benefits after retirement. These benefits are unfunded. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur.

21 Employee benefits (Continued) Share-based payment transactions The Company grants equity instruments or incurs liabilities for amounts that are determined based on the price of equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees or other parties. The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using an appropriate pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.

22 Definition of cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid monetary assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, including the unrestricted balance with the Central Bank, amounts due from banks and other financial institutions and reverse repurchase agreements that have short original maturity of generally within three months.

23 Related parties If a party has the power to control, jointly control or exercise significant influence over another party in making financial and operating decisions, they are regarded as related parties. Two or more parties are also regarded as related parties if they are subject to control, joint control or significant influence from the same party. The following are related parties of an enterprise: (1) the enterprise’s parents; (2) the enterprise’s subsidiaries; (3) other enterprises which are controlled by the enterprise’s parents; (4) an investor who has joint control over the enterprise; (5) an investor who can exercise significant influence over the enterprise; (6) a joint venture in which the enterprise is a venturer; (7) an associate of the enterprise; (8) principal individual investors of the enterprise, and close family members of such individuals; (9) key management personnel of the enterprise or its parent, and close family members of such individuals; (10) other enterprises that are controlled, jointly controlled, or significantly influenced by the enterprise’s principal individual investors, key management personnel, or close family members of such individuals. Enterprises are not regarded as related parties simply because they are under common control from the state, if no other related party relationships exist between them.

24 Fiduciary activities Where the Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent, assets arising thereon together with the related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements. Entrusted loans granted by the Company on behalf of third-party lenders are recorded as off-balance sheet items. The Company acts as an agent and grants such entrusted loans to borrowers under the direction of the third-party lenders who fund these loans. The Company has been contracted by the third-party lenders to manage the administration and collection of these loans on their behalf. The third-party lenders determine both the underwriting criteria for and the terms of all entrusted loans including their purposes, amounts, interest rates, and repayment schedules. The Company charges a commission related to the management of the entrusted loans. The commission income is recognized pro rata over the period in which the service is provided. The risk of loan loss is borne by the third-party lenders.

25 Leases A lease that transfers in substance all the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset is classified as a finance lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.  perating leases for lessees O Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized by a lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and either included in the cost of another related asset or charged to the income statement. Operating leases for lessors Lease income from operating leases is recognized by the lessor in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

26 Contingent liabilities A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past transactions or events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events. It can also be a present obligation arising from past transactions or events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

27 Provisions An obligation related to a contingency is recognised as a provision when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the obligation is a present obligation of the Company; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate. The Company reviews the carrying amount of a provision at the balance sheet date. When there is clear evidence that the carrying amount of a provision does not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying amount is adjusted to the current best estimate.

28 Trade date accounting Except for loans and receivables, all regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. A regular way purchase and sale is the purchase or sale of financial assets that requires delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

29 Offsetting Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and both parties of the transaction intend to settle on a net basis.

30 Dividends Dividends are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Interim dividends are deducted from equity when they are declared and no longer at the discretion of the Company. Dividends for the year that are approved after the balance sheet date are disclosed as an event after the balance sheet date.

31 Significant accounting judgements and estimates In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made assumptions of impacts arising from uncertain future events on the financial information. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year/period are discussed below. Apart from those assumptions and estimations, judgements are also made and are set out below. Designation of held-to-maturity investments Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Accordingly, in evaluating whether a financial asset shall be classified as held-to-maturity investment, significant management judgement is required. If the Company fails to correctly assess its intention and ability to hold the investments to maturity and the Company sells or reclassifies more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the Company shall classify the whole held-to-maturity investment portfolio as available-for-sale. Impairment losses of loans and advances The Company determines periodically whether there is any objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and advances has been incurred. If any such evidence exists, the Company assesses the amount of impairment losses. The amount of impairment losses is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. Assessing the amount of impairment losses requires significant judgement on whether objective evidence for impairment exists and also significant estimates when determining the present value of the expected future cash flows.

31 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (Continued) Income tax Determining income tax provisions requires the Company to estimate the future tax treatment of certain transactions. The Company carefully evaluates tax implications of transactions in accordance with prevailing tax regulations and makes tax provisions accordingly. In addition, deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. This requires significant estimates on the tax treatments of certain transactions and also significant assessment on the probability that adequate future taxable profits will be available for the deferred income tax assets to be recovered. Fair value of financial instruments If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, and a discounted cash flow analysis. To the extent practicable, the valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs. However, where market inputs are not available, management needs to make estimates on areas such as credit risk (both the Company’s and the counterparty’s), volatility and correlation. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair values of financial instruments. Impairment of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments In determining whether there is any objective evidence that impairment losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments have occurred, the Company assesses periodically whether there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost or carrying amount, or whether other objective evidence of impairment exists based on the investee’s financial conditions and business prospects, including industry environment, change of technology, operating and financing cash flows, etc. This requires significant level of judgement of the management, which would affect the amount of impairment losses.

32 Taxes Major taxes and related tax rates applicable to the Company are as follows: TAX

During the 5th Session of the 10th National People’s Congress, which was concluded on 16 March 2007, the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (“the New Corporate Income Tax Law”) was approved and became effective on 1 January 2008. The New Corporate Income Tax Law introduces a wide range of changes which include, but are not limited to, the unification of the income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises at 25%. The income tax rate applicable to the branches in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Haikou will progressively increase to the tax rate of 25% in five years. The income tax rate applicable to the branches in other regions decreased from 33% to 25% effective from 1 January 2008.

5 Derivative financial instruments A derivative is a financial instrument, the value of which is derived from the value of another “underlying” financial instrument, an index or some other variables. Typically, an “underlying” financial instrument is a share, a commodity or bond price, an index value or an exchange or interest rate. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts, swaps and options. The notional amount of a derivative represents the amount of an underlying asset upon which the value of the derivative is based. It indicates the volume of business transacted by the Company but does not reflect the risk. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. At each balance sheet date, the Company has positions in the following types of derivatives:

The Company’s investment properties are mainly properties and buildings, which are rented to third parties under operating leases. The investment properties are situated in locations where there are active property markets and the fair value of the investment properties can be reliably determinable on a continuing basis. Accordingly, management decided to adopt the fair value model for subsequent measurement of the investment properties, which are valued by independent professionally qualified valuers on, at least, an annual basis. The revaluation as at 31 December 2008 was performed by Shenzhen Guozi Land and Real Estate Valuation Co., Ltd. In connection with this, the valuation was carried out by qualified persons who are members of the Shenzhen Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. Certain investment properties were transferred to owner-occupied properties mainly because the rental agreements of these properties expired during the year.

The Company may also appropriate its profit after tax to the discretionary surplus reserve upon approval of the shareholders in general meetings. As at 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007, the amount of the surplus reserve represented the statutory surplus reserve.

E Segmental Reporting The Company mainly organises and manages its operating businesses geographically, and therefore, the primary reporting format for reporting segment information is geographical segments. Segment assets and liabilities, and segment revenues and profit are calculated according to the accounting policies of the Company. In presenting information on the basis of geographical segment, operating income and expense are based on the location of the branches that generated the revenue and incurred the expense. Segment assets and liabilities are allocated based on the geographical locations of the underlying assets. The details of the geographical segments of the Company are as follows: Southern China: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Haikou Eastern China: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Nanjing Northern and north-eastern China: Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Jinan, Qingdao South-western China: Chongqing, Kunming, Chengdu Offshore businesses

Financial guarantee contracts commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers upon the failure of the customers to perform the terms of the contracts. Commitments to extend credit represent contractual commitments to make loans to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiry dates. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Entrusted deposits represent funds that depositors have instructed the Company to use to make loans to third parties as designated by them. The credit risk remains with the depositors. Entrusted funding and entrusted investments represent the investment and asset management services provided by the Company to third parties in accordance with the agreed investment plans. The third parties provide funding for the related investments. Income from such investment activities is collected on behalf of and paid to the third parties according to the relevant contractual terms.

(Continued)

5 Contingent liabilities Legal proceedings As at 31 December 2008, the total claimed amount of the litigation cases of which the Company is the defendant was RMB 179 million (31 December 2007: RMB 161 million). These litigation cases are under legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, the Company has made adequate allowance for any probable losses based on the prevailing facts and circumstances. Apart from the above pending litigation cases, the respective liquidators of DeHeng Securities Co., Ltd. and the China Southern Securities Co., Ltd. had requested the Company to repay a total amount of RMB 430 million. The Company had opposed all such repayment requests. At the year end, based on the legal opinion from an independent third-party lawyer, the Company had no immediate obligation to repay the monies. Redemption commitments of government bonds As an underwriting agent of the PRC Government, the Company underwrites certain PRC government bonds and sells the bonds to the general public. The Company is obliged to redeem the bonds at the discretion of the holders at any time prior to maturity. The redemption price for the bonds is based on the nominal value of the bonds plus any interest accrued up to the redemption date. As at 31 December 2008, the Company had underwritten and sold bonds with an accumulated amount of RMB 3.1 billion (31 December 2007: RMB 3.67 billion) to the general public which have not matured or been redeemed. The MOF will not provide funding for the early redemption of these government bonds on a back-to-back basis but is obliged to repay the principal and the respective interest upon maturity. As at 31 December 2008, the unexpired underwriting commitment of the PRC government bonds amounted to RMB 2.35 billion (31 December 2007: RMB 2.65 billion).

G Capital Management The primary objectives of the Company’s capital management are to ensure that the Company complies with regulatory capital requirements, to maximise shareholders’ value and to support the continuous growth in business. The Company regularly reviews its capital structure and makes adjustments to it through asset and liability management, so as to maintain the overall balance of the capital structure and maximisation of capital return. The required information of capital adequacy is filed with the CBRC by the Company on a quarterly basis. The CBRC requires banks that are established in Mainland China to maintain the capital adequacy ratio and core capital ration not below the minimum of 8% and 4%, respectively. The risk-weighted assets are measured according to the nature of individual assets and counterparty, reflecting an estimate of related credit, market and other risks after taking into account of any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposures, with adjustments made to reflect the contingent nature of any potential losses. The Company calculated and reported the core capital adequacy ratio and capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the “Regulation Governing Capital Adequacy Ratio of Commercial Banks” promulgated by the CBRC and the CBRC’s notice relating to the computation of the capital adequacy ratio after the implementation of ASBEs. The core capital includes share capital, capital reserve, surplus reserve, general reserve and unappropriated profit. The supplementary capital includes revaluation surplus, long term subordinated bonds and other supplementary capital. In RMB’000

H Risk Disclosure 1 Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability to meet its obligations. The Company’s credit risk mainly arises from the loans and advances to customers, financial guarantees and loan commitments. The Company has established a Credit Portfolio Management Committee, which approves and determines the Company’s credit risk management strategies, credit risk preferences as well as its various credit risk management policies and standards. The Company has also formulated guidelines on corporate and retail credit policies across the Company and for specific industries. Furthermore, the Company has implemented a strategic customer categorisation management system, and set up a customer entry and exit mechanism to facilitate the sustainable development of its credit underwriting business. The Company implements a credit risk officer system, in which the Chief Credit Officer at the Head Office appoints credit officers to various business lines and branches. The credit officers directly report to the Chief Credit Officer, who is responsible for evaluating the performance of the credit officers and establishing an independent and transparent vertical credit risk management system. The Company has formulated a complete set of operational procedures for credit approval and management. These procedures are being enforced across the Company. Credit management procedures for its corporate and retail loans comprise the processes of credit origination, credit review, credit approval, disbursement, post-disbursement monitoring and collection. In addition, the Company has formulated the “Policies of Credit Underwriting”, which have defined the functions and responsibilities of different credit operational processes, and have enhanced the monitoring of the related compliance for improving the overall effective control of credit risk. The Company has strengthened its early warning monitoring system for the credit business with measures applicable to the portfolio level and to individual customers, resulting to early detection and effective management of credit risks. The Company sub-divides credit asset risks into 10 categories based on the five-tier loan classification system promulgated by the CBRC, namely, Pass One, Pass Two, Pass Three, Pass Four, Pass Five, Special Mention One, Special Mention Two, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Furthermore, a separate “Write-off” category has been added to the classification system. The Company applies different management policies to the loans in accordance with their respective loan categories. Risks arising from financial guarantees and loan commitments are similar to those associated with loans and advances. Transactions of financial guarantees and loan commitments are, therefore, subject to the same portfolio management and the same requirements for application and collateral as loans and advances to customers.

1 Credit risk (Continued) Risk concentration of the maximum exposure to credit risk Credit risk is often greater when counterparties are concentrated in a single industry or geographic location or have comparable economic characteristics. The majority of the loans and financial guarantee contracts of the Company are related to the local customers within Mainland China. However, different areas in Mainland China have their own unique characteristics in terms of economic development. Therefore, each area in Mainland China could present different credit risks. Please refer to Note D.9 for an analysis of concentration of loans and advances by industry and geographical region. Collateral and other credit enhancements The amount and type of collateral required are determined by the Company based on its assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. The Company has implemented guidelines regarding the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • For reverse repurchase transactions: bills, loans or securities • For commercial lending: charges over real estate properties, inventories, shares or trade receivables • For retail lending: mortgages over residential properties Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during its review of the adequacy of the provision for impairment losses. Credit quality The credit quality by class of financial asset (gross amount before deducting any impairment provision) of the Company is analysed as follows:

Impaired loans and advances Impaired loans and advances are defined as those loans and advances having objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occur after initial recognition, resulting in an impact on the estimated future cash flows of loans and advances that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and the situation where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. The fair value of the collateral that the Company holds relating to corporate loans and advances individually determined to be impaired at 31 December 2008 amounted to RMB 859 million (31 December 2007: RMB 1,988 million). The carrying amount of loans and advances that would otherwise be past due or impaired and whose terms have been renegotiated is as follows: In RMB’000

2 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The risk is attributable to any mismatch in amounts and terms between the assets and liabilities. To limit the risk, management has arranged diversified funding sources, and monitors loan and deposit balances on a daily basis. The Company also maintains a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flows. Furthermore, the Company performs stress testing regularly to assess and identify the actions that can meet the payment obligations under different critical scenarios. As at 31 December 2008, the remaining contractual maturity analysis of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities (based on contractual undiscounted cash flows) was as follows: 31 December 2008

3 Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss, in respect of the Company’s on or off-balance sheet activities, arising from adverse movements in market rates including foreign exchange rates, interest rate, commodity prices and stock prices. Market risk arises from both the Company’s trading and non-trading businesses. The aim of market risk management of the Company is to mitigate undue losses of income and equity, and simultaneously, to reduce the Company’s exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments. The Company considers the market risk arising from commodity or stock prices in respect of its investment portfolio is immaterial. The Company’s Risk Management Committee and the Asset and Liability Management Committee are responsible for setting up market risk management policies, establishing market risk management objectives and determining market risk limits. The Asset and Liability Management Committee is responsible for controlling the volume, structure, interest rate and liquidity of the Company’s business. The Company’s Financial Information and Asset and Liability Management Department discharges the daily market risk monitoring function on behalf of the Asset and Liability Management Committee, including the determination of reasonable levels of market risk exposures, monitoring the daily treasury operation and proposing adjustments to the maturity profile of the assets and liabilities and the interest rate structure. Gap analysis is the key method used by the Company to monitor the market risk of its non-trading business activities. This method measures the impact of interest rate changes on income, with interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities grouped by their respective re-pricing bands for the calculation of the re-pricing gap. By multiplying this position with an assumed interest rate change, an approximate effect on the net interest income resulting from the assumed interest rate change is quantified. The market risk management information system is being developed for further improvement in market risk management measures. Financial derivative transactions entered into by the Company primarily provide effective economic hedges to other financial instruments held by the Company for the mitigation of interest and exchange rate risks. In the opinion of management, as the market risk of the Company’s trading business activities is not material, the Company has not separately disclosed quantitative information about exposure to market risk arising from the trading portfolio.

3 Market risk (Continued) Currency risk (Continued) The table below indicates the sensitivity analysis of exchange rate changes of the currencies to which the Company had significant exposure on its monetary assets and liabilities and its forecast cash flows. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement in the exchange rates against the RMB, with all other variables held constant on profit before tax. A negative amount in the table reflects a potential net reduction in profit before tax, while a positive amount reflects a net potential increase. As the Company has no cash flow hedges and has only a minimal amount of available-for-sale equity instruments denominated in foreign currencies, changes in exchange rates do not have any material potential impact on the equity.

3 Market risk (Continued) Interest rate risk The Company’s interest rate risk mainly arises from the mismatch of contractual maturity or re-pricing dates between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company are mainly denominated in RMB. The PBOC sets a cap and a floor on interest rates on deposits and loans, respectively. The Company manages its interest rate risk by adjusting the composition of assets and liabilities, monitoring indicators such as the interest rate sensitivity gap on a regular basis and measuring risk exposure in accordance with the re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Asset and Liability Management Committee meets regularly to discuss future movements in interest rates and manages interest rate risk exposures by adjusting the composition of the assets and liabilities. As at 31 December 2008, the contractual re-pricing dates or maturity dates, whichever were earlier, of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are analysed as follows: 31 December 2008

Notes: 1. Amounts due from other financial institutions included financial assets of placement of deposits with other financial institutions, funds loaned to other financial institutions and reverse repurchase agreements.

2. Amounts due to other financial institutions included financial liabilities of placement of deposits from other financial institutions, funds borrowed from other financial institutions and repurchase agreements.

The Company principally uses sensitivity analysis to measure and control interest rate risk. In respect of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, in the opinion of management, the interest rate risk to the Company arising from this portfolio is not significant. For other financial assets and liabilities, the Company mainly uses gap analysis to measure and control the related interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007, the gap analyses of the financial assets and liabilities (excluding financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are as follows:

3 Market risk (Continued) Interest rate risk (Continued) The sensitivity of the net interest income is the effect of a reasonable possible change in interest rates on the net interest income for one year, in respect of the financial assets and liabilities (excluding financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) held at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity of equity is calculated by revaluing the year end portfolio of fixed-rate available-for-sale financial assets, based on a reasonable possible change in interest rates. The above sensitivity analyses are based on the following assumptions: (i) all assets and liabilities that are re-priced/due within three months (inclusive), and between three months and one year (inclusive) are assumed to be re-priced in the mid of the respective bands; and (ii) there are parallel shifts in the yield curve. Regarding to the above assumptions, the effect on the net interest income and equity as a result of the actual increases or decreases in interest rates may differ from that of the above sensitivity analyses.

4 Fair value of financial instruments The following table summarises the carrying values and the fair values of receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and subordinated bonds for which their fair values have not been presented or disclosed above:

Subject to the existence of an active market, such as an authorised securities exchange, the market value is the best reflection of the fair value of financial instruments. As there is no available market value for certain financial assets and liabilities held and issued by the Company, the discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods described below are adopted to determine the fair values of these assets and liabilities: (1) The receivables are non-transferable. The fair values of these receivables are estimated on the bases of pricing models or discounted cash flows. (2) The fair value of held-to-maturity debt securities and subordinated bonds are determined with reference to the available market values. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated on the bases of pricing models or discounted cash flows. All of the above-mentioned assumptions and methods provide a consistent basis for the calculation of the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities. However, other institutions may use different assumptions and methods. Therefore, the fair values disclosed by different financial institutions may not be entirely comparable. Financial instruments, for which their carrying amounts are the reasonable approximation of their fair values because, for example, they are short term in nature or are re-priced to current market rates frequently, are as follows: Assets

Liabilities

Cash and due from the Central Bank Placements of deposits with other financial institutions Funds loaned to other financial institutions Reverse repurchase agreements Loans and advances Other financial assets

Placement of deposits from other financial institutions Funds borrowed from other financial institutions Repurchase agreements Customer deposits Other financial liabilities

Notes to the Financial Statements 1 General Information Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) as a result of the restructuring of six agricultural credit co-operatives into a joint stock commercial bank with limited liability. The Company was established on 22 December 1987 after the initial public offering of its RMB ordinary shares on 10 May 1987. The Company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on 3 April 1991 and the stock code is 000001. The institution number of the Company on the 00000028 approval document issued by the China Banking Regulatory Commission is B0014H144030001. The business licence number of the Company issued by the Shenzhen Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce is 440301103098545. The Company is principally engaged in authorised commercial and retail banking activities in the PRC. The registered office of the Company is located at No. 5047, Shennan Road East, Luohu District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, PRC. Headquartered in Shenzhen, the Company operates its business in the PRC.

2 Accounting Policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, investment properties and share-based payments, that have been measured at fair value, as further explained in the respective accounting policies below. The Company maintains its books and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises—Basic Standard” and 38 specific standards, Implementation Guidance, Interpretations and other relevant regulations (hereafter collectively referred to as “ASBEs”) issued by the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”) of the PRC in February 2006. As the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the statutory financial statements are basically the same as those adopted in these financial statements, there is no significant difference in the results of operations and financial performance. Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and its interpretations promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”). Basis of consolidation Consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries, for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where there is a loss of control in a subsidiary, the consolidated income statement includes the result of that subsidiary for the part of the reporting period during which the Company has control. All intra-group balances, transactions, incomes and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on the financial information. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year/period are discussed below. Apart from those assumptions and estimations, judgements are also made and are set out below. Designation of held-to-maturity investments Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Accordingly, in evaluating whether a financial asset shall be classified as held-to-maturity investment, significant management judgement is required. If the Company fails to correctly assess its intention and ability to hold the investments to maturity and the Company sells or reclassifies more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity, the Company shall classify the whole held-to-maturity investment portfolio as available-for-sale. Impairment losses of loans and advances The Company determines periodically whether there is any objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and advances has been incurred. If any such evidence exists, the Company assesses the amount of impairment losses. The amount of impairment losses is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. Assessing the amount of impairment losses requires significant judgement on whether objective evidence for impairment exists and also significant estimates when determining the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates (Continued) Income tax Determining income tax provisions requires the Company to estimate the future tax treatment of certain transactions. The Company carefully evaluates tax implications of transactions in accordance with prevailing tax regulations and makes tax provisions accordingly. In addition, deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. This requires significant estimation on the tax treatments of certain transactions and also significant assessment on the probability that adequate future taxable profits will be available for the deferred income tax assets to be recovered. Fair value of financial instruments If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, and discounted cash flow analysis. To the extent practicable, valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs. However, where market inputs are not available, management needs to make estimates on areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty’s), volatility and correlation. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Impairment of available–for-sale and held-to-maturity investments In determining whether there is any objective evidence that impairment losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments have occurred, the Company assesses periodically whether there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost or carrying amount, or whether other objective evidence of impairment exists based on the investee’s financial conditions and business prospects, including industry environment, change of technology, operating and financing cash flows, etc. This requires significant level of judgement of the management of the Company, which would affect the amount of impairment losses.

Impact of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards The Company has adopted the following new interpretations and amendments to IFRSs for the first time for the current year’s financial statements. The adoption of these new interpretations and amendments has had no significant financial effect on these financial statements. IAS 39 & IFRS 7 Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and   Amendments   IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Reclassification of Financial Assets IFRIC – Int 11 IFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions IFRIC – Int 12 Service Concession Arrangements IFRIC – Int 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction The Company has also early adopted IFRIC Interpretation 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes as of 1 January 2008. The principal effects of adopting these new interpretations and amendments are as follows: Amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 The amendments to IAS 39 permit an entity to reclassify a non-derivative financial asset classified as held for trading, other than a financial asset designated by an entity as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition, out of the fair value through profit or loss category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, if specified criteria are met. A debt instrument that would have met the definition of loans and receivables (if it had not been required to be classified as held for trading at initial recognition) may be classified out of the fair value through profit or loss category or (if it had not been designated as available for sale) may be classified out of the available-for-sale category to the loans and receivables category if the entity has the intention and the ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or until maturity. In rare circumstances, financial assets that are not eligible for reclassification as loans and receivables may be transferred from the held-fortrading category to the available-for-sale category or to the held to maturity category (in the case of a debt instrument), if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. The financial asset shall be reclassified at its fair value on the date of reclassification and the fair value of the financial asset on the date of reclassification becomes its new cost or amortised cost, as applicable. The amendments to IFRS 7 require extensive disclosures of any financial asset reclassified in the situations described above. The application of the amendments may be implemented retrospectively but not before 1 July 2008. Any reclassification of a financial asset made in the periods beginning on or after 1 November 2008 shall take effect only from the date when the reclassification is made. As the Company has not reclassified any of its financial instruments, the amendments have had no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates (Continued) IFRIC – Interpretation 11 IFRIC Interpretation 11 requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity settled scheme, even if the entity buys the instrument from another party, or the shareholders provide the equity instruments needed. As the Company currently has no such transactions, the interpretation has had no impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. IFRIC – Interpretation 13 IFRIC Interpretation 13 requires customer loyalty credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted. A portion of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credits and deferred. This is then recognised as revenue over the period that the award credits are redeemed. The Company maintains a loyalty point programme within its bank card business and has historically recorded an expense based on the costs incurred in providing the awards. The Company has amended its accounting policy accordingly which did not result in any significant impact on these financial statements. IFRIC Interpretation 13 has no specific provisions on transition. Therefore, the Company has followed IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” and considered that the adoption of the new policy has no material financial effect on prior years. IFRIC – Interpretation 14 IFRIC Interpretation 14 addresses how to assess the limit under IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, on the amount of a refund or a reduction in future contributions in relation to a defined benefit scheme that can be recognised as an asset, including situations when a minimum funding requirement exists. As the Company’s defined benefit schemes have been in deficit and are not subject to any minimum funding requirements, the adoption of this interpretation has had no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies Investments in associates An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a jointly-controlled entity, in which the Company has a long-term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. The Company’s investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment losses. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Company’s net investment in the associate. The income statement reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The reporting dates of the associates and the Company are identical and the associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (a) Interest income is recognised as it accrues (using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of a financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset). Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is thereafter recognised using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. (b) Fee and commission income is recognised when the services have been rendered and the proceeds can be reasonably estimated. (c) Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established. Precious metal The Company’s precious metals represent gold. Precious metals are initially measured at cost. At the balance sheet date, precious metals are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. If the cost of precious metals is higher than the net realisable value, a provision for the decline in value of precious metals is recognised in the income statement.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Financial assets The Company classifies its financial assets into four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; held-to-maturity investments; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines the classification of a financial asset at its initial recognition and evaluates this designation at each reporting date. When a financial asset is recognised initially, the Company measures it at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss There are two sub-categories of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: (i) Financial assets held for trading A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is: • acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the near term; • part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short term profit-taking; or • a derivative (except for a derivative that is designated and an effective hedging instrument). (ii) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss by management upon initial recognition A financial asset, other than one held for trading, may be designated as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition, if it meets the criteria set out below, and is so designated by management: • eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring financial assets or financial liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on a different basis; • applies to a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both that are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and where information about that group of financial instruments is provided internally on that basis to key management personnel; or • relates to financial instruments containing one or more embedded derivatives that significantly modify the cash flows resulting from those financial instruments; or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid instrument is first considered that the embedded derivatives should be separated. After the initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at their fair values, without any deduction for transaction costs that the Company may incur on sale or other disposal. Changes in fair value are recognised in “Gains or losses from changes in fair values” and interest earned is accrued in interest income according to the terms of the contract. The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Company first becomes a party to the contract. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required. (b) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment in value. The Company shall reclassify any remaining held-to-maturity investments as availablefor-sale and shall not classify any financial assets as held-to-maturity if it has, during the current financial year or during the two preceding financial years, sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments before maturity other than sales or reclassifications that: (i) are so close to maturity or the financial asset’s call date (for example, less than three months before maturity) that changes in the market rate of interest would not have a significant effect on the financial asset’s fair value; (ii) occur after the Company has collected substantially all of the financial asset’s original principal through scheduled payments or prepayments; or (iii) are attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the Company’s control and is non-recurring and could not have been reasonably anticipated by the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Financial assets (Continued) (c) Loan and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and the Company has no intention of trading the assets immediately or in the near term. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment in value. Loans and receivables mainly include loans and advances to customers, receivables and discounted bills. Discounted bills are granted by the Company to its customers based on the bank acceptance held which has not matured. Discounted bills are carried at fair value less unrealised interest income. The interest income of the discounted bills is recognised on an accrual basis. (d) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. After the initial recognition, financial assets which are classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value. Premiums and discounts on available-for-sale financial assets are amortised using the effective interest method and taken to the interest income. Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are reported as a separate component of equity until the financial asset is derecognised or the financial asset is determined to be impaired. On derecognition or impairment, the cumulative gain or loss previously reported as “cumulative changes in fair value – available-for-sale financial assets” within equity is included in the income statement for the year. A financial asset is derecognised when: • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; • the Company retains the rights to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (i) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; or (ii) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Fair value measurement For investments and derivatives quoted in an active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices. Bid prices are used for assets and offer prices are used for liabilities. The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which include non-interest-bearing deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to forward exchange rates with similar maturities. For unquoted financial instruments, fair value is normally based on the expected cash flows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risk characteristics. The fair value of unquoted derivatives is determined either by discounted cash flows or internal pricing models.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets (other than those at fair value through profit or loss) is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. (a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an impairment provision account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. Future cash flows of a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the impact of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to eliminate the impact of historical conditions that do not exist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Company. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of an impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be attributed objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. When a loan and receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for impairment losses. Such loans and receivables are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of the amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for impairment losses in the income statement. (b) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of that financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed. (c) Available-for-sale financial assets If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred from equity to the income statement. A provision for impairment is made for available-for-sale equity investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in the income statement. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments classified as available-for-sale are reversed through the income statement, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Financial liabilities The Company classifies its financial liabilities into two categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost. Management determines the classification of a financial liability at its initial recognition. When a financial liability is recognised initially, the Company shall measure it at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. (a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities which are either classified as held for trading or, based on the criteria in the accounting policies of “Financial assets” (a) (ii) above, designated by the Company as fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is: • incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term; • part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short term profit-taking; or • a derivative (except for a derivative that is a designated and an effective hedging instrument). After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at their fair values, without any deduction for transaction costs it may incur on sale or other disposal. Changes in fair value are recognised in “Gains or losses from changes in fair values” and interest incurred is accrued in interest expense according to the terms of the contract. (b) Financial liabilities carried at amortised cost After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the hybrid instrument is not carried at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. Certain derivative transactions, while providing effective economic hedges under the Company’s risk management positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting and are therefore treated as derivatives held for trading with fair value gains or losses recognised in the income statement. Trade date accounting Except for loans and receivables, all regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. A regular way purchase and sale is the purchase or sale of financial assets that requires delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet only when the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts; and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements Assets sold under agreements to repurchase at a specific future date are not derecognised from the balance sheet. The corresponding proceeds are recognised on the balance sheet as “Repurchase agreements”. The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method. Conversely, assets purchased under agreements to resell at a specific future date are not recognised on the balance sheet. The corresponding cost is recognised on the balance sheet as a “Reverse repurchase agreements”. The difference between the purchase price and the resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Leases Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Company, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Company is the lessor, rentals receivable under operating leases are credited to the income statement on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Company is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the income statement on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Construction in progress Construction in progress represents costs incurred in the construction of office premises including furniture and fixtures. Costs comprise direct costs incurred during the period of construction. Interest charged on related borrowings for the construction is capitalised and such capitalisation of interest ceases when the assets under construction are completed and are ready for their intended use. No capitalisation of interest is made if the cost incurred during the construction is from the Company’s own fund. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property and equipment when completed and ready for use. Property and equipment All property and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the items of property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of that asset. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows: Properties and buildings Transportation vehicles Computers Electronic appliances Owner-occupied property improvement Leasehold improvement

3.3% 16.2% 19.8% or 33.0% 9.9% or 19.8% 10.0% or 20.0% Over the lease terms

Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year/period the asset is derecognised. Intangible assets Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company. The Company’s intangible assets comprise the value of computer software. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. The Company analyses and assesses the useful life of an intangible asset on its acquisition. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company. When the asset is available for use, an intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortised over its useful life. The amortisation method selected reflects the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are expected to be realised. If that pattern cannot be determined reliably, the straight-line method is used. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortised. The useful life and amortisation method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each balance sheet date. If the expected useful life of the asset or the amortisation method differs significantly from previous assessments, the amortisation period or amortisation method is changed accordingly as a change in accounting estimate.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined on an individual basis, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered to be impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use of an asset, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement under those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired assets. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of any depreciation/amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. After such a reversal, the depreciation/amortisation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Investment properties Investment properties are interests in land or buildings held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or for sale in the ordinary course of business. The Company adopts the fair value model for the measurement of investment properties which are not depreciated or amortised. At each period end, the carrying value of the investment properties is adjusted based on the fair value, and any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is accounted for in the income statement. Repossessed assets Repossessed assets are measured at the lower of the carrying amount of the loans and advances and interest receivables being settled, and fair value of the related repossessed assets less costs to sell. Impairment losses for any initial or subsequent write-down of the repossessed assets to fair value less costs to sell are recognised in the income statement. Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in RMB, being the functional and presentation currency of the Company’s operations. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the applicable exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at year/period end rates are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the date when the fair value was determined. Fiduciary activities Where the Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent, assets arising thereon together with the related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements. Entrusted loans granted by the Company on behalf of third-party lenders are recorded as off-balance sheet items. The Company acts as an agent and grants such entrusted loans to borrowers under the direction of the third-party lenders who fund these loans. The Company has been contracted by the third-party lenders to manage the administration and collection of these loans on their behalf. The third-party lenders determine both the underwriting criteria for and the terms of all entrusted loans including their purposes, amounts, interest rates, and repayment schedules. The Company charges a commission related to the management of the entrusted loans. The commission is recognised pro rata over the period in which the service is provided. The risk of loan loss is borne by the third-party lenders.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Financial guarantee contracts The Company gives financial guarantees consisting of letters of credit, letters of guarantees, and acceptances. These financial guarantee contracts provided for specified payments to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs when a guaranteed party defaults under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument, loan or other obligation. Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value, in “Other liabilities”, being the premium received. The guarantee fee is amortised over the period of the contract and is recognised as fee and commission income. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company’s liabilities under such contracts are each measured at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortisation, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee. Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is taken to the income statement. Related parties A party is considered to be related to the Company if: (i) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (a) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company; (b) has an interest in the Company that gives it significant influence over the Company; or (c) has joint control over the Company; (ii) the party is an associate of the Company; (iii) the party is joint venture in which the Company is a venturer; (iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or its parent; (v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv); (vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by, or for which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or (vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Company, or of any entity that is a related party of the Company. Income tax Income tax comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax balances. Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for a period. Taxable profit is the profit for a period, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, using tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: (i) where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill; or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which contains both of the following characteristics: the transaction is not a business combination; and at the time of the transaction, it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss); (ii) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in jointly controlled enterprises, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled; and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused deductible losses and tax credits, the Company recognises the corresponding deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that: 1) the transaction is not a business combination; 2) at the time of the transaction, it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in jointly controlled enterprises, the corresponding deferred tax asset is recognised, to the extent that, it is probable that: the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future; and taxable profits will be available in the future, against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Income tax (Continued) At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws. At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction in the amount is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. Current and deferred tax of the Company is recognised as income or an expense and included in the income statement for the current period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination; or a transaction or event which is recognised directly in owner’s equity. Employee benefits (a) Short term employee benefits Salaries and bonuses, social security contributions and other short term employee benefits are accrued in the period in which services are rendered by the employees of the Company. (b) Defined contribution plans According to the statutory requirements in Mainland China, the Company is required to make contributions to the pension and insurance schemes that are separately administered by the local government authorities. Contributions to these plans are recognised in the income statement as incurred. (c) Supplementary retirement benefits Certain employees of the Company in Mainland China can enjoy supplementary retirement benefits after retirement. These benefits are unfunded. The cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. The present value of such benefits is recorded under “Employee benefit payable” in the balance sheet. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur. (d) Share-based payment transactions The Company grants equity instruments, or incurs liabilities for amounts that are determined based on the price of equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees or other parties. The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using an appropriate pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, general deposits with the Central Bank, placement of deposits with other financial institutions and funds loaned to other financial institutions with original maturity of three months or less, and short term highly liquid investments (maturity within three months from the date of acquisition) which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate. Contingent liabilities A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Interim dividends are deducted from equity when they are declared and no longer at the discretion of the Company. Dividends for the year that are approved after the balance sheet date are disclosed as an event after the balance sheet date.

Impact of issued but not yet effective International Financial Reporting Standards The Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements. IFRS 1 and IAS 27 Amendments to IFRS1 First-time Adoption of IFRSs and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements –   Amendments   Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate 1 IFRS 2 Amendments Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment – Vesting Conditions and Cancellations 1 IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations 2 IFRS 8 Operating Segments 1 IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements 1 IAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs 1 IAS 27 (Revised) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements 2 IAS 32 and IAS 1 Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements –   Amendments   Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation 1 IAS 39 Amendment Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Eligible Hedged Items 2 IFRIC – Int 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate 1 IFRIC – Int 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation 3 IFRIC – Int 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners 1 Apart from the above, the International Accounting Standards Board has also issued Improvements to IFRSs* which sets out amendments to a number of IFRSs primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. Except for the amendment to IFRS 5 which is effective for the annual periods on or after 1 July 2009, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 although there are separate transitional provisions for each standard. 1

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008 * Improvements to IFRSs contain amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 10, IAS 16, IAS 18, IAS 19, IAS 20, IAS 23, IAS 27, IAS 28, IAS 29, IAS 31, IAS 34, IAS 36, IAS 38, IAS 39, IAS 40 and IAS 41.

2 3

The Company is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these new and revised IFRSs upon initial application. So far, it has concluded that while the adoption of IFRS 8 and IAS 1 (Revised) may result in new or amended disclosures and the adoption of IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Revised) may result in changes in accounting policies, these new and revised IFRSs are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

3 Segmental Reporting The Company mainly organises and manages its operating businesses geographically, and therefore, the primary format for reporting segment information is geographical segments. Segment assets and liabilities, and segment revenues and profit are calculated according to the accounting policies of the Company. In presenting information on the basis of geographical segment, operating income and expense are based on the location of the branches that generated the revenue and incurred the expense. Segment assets and liabilities are allocated based on the geographical locations of the underlying assets. The details of the geographical segments of the Company are as follows: Southern China: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Haikou Eastern China: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Nanjing Northern and north-eastern China: Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Jinan, Qingdao South-western China: Chongqing, Kunming, Chengdu Offshore businesses

17 Derivative Financial Instruments A derivative is a financial instrument, the value of which is derived from the value of another “underlying” financial instrument, an index or some other variables. Typically, an “underlying” financial instrument is a share, commodity or bond price, an index value or an exchange or interest rate. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts, swaps and options. The notional amount of a derivative represents the amount of an underlying asset upon which the value of the derivative is based. It indicates the volume of business transacted by the Company but does not reflect the risk. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. At each balance sheet date, the Company has positions in the following types of derivatives:

31 December 2007 460,656 (25,251 ) 42,733 (37,040 ) 441,098

The Company’s investment properties are mainly properties and buildings, which are rented to third parties in the form of operating leasing. The investment properties are situated in locations where there are active property markets and the fair value of the investment properties can be reliably determinable on a continuing basis. Accordingly, management decided to adopt the fair value model for subsequent measurement of the investment properties, which are valued by independent professionally qualified valuers on, at least, an annual basis. The valuation as at 31 December 2008 was performed by Shenzhen Guozi Land and Real Estate Valuation Co., Ltd. In connection with this, the valuation was carried out by qualified persons who are members of the Shenzhen Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. Certain investment properties were transferred to owner-occupied properties mainly because the rental agreements of these properties expired during the year. The gross rental income earned from the investment properties during the year amounted to RMB 38,982 thousand (2007: RMB 45,377 thousand). The total direct operating expense (including repairs and maintenance expenses) for the investment properties, with or without rental income generated during the year, was RMB 2,589 thousand (2007: RMB 3,284 thousand).

In accordance with the Measures for the Administration of the Share-trading Reform of Listed Companies, the original non-tradable shareholders of the Company promised no transfer or trading of the non-tradable shares held within 12 months since the day when the trading right is acquired. After the expiration of the above commitment term, the former non-tradable shares trading through the stock exchange shall not be over 5% of the total shares within 12 months, and not over 10% within 24 months.

Each shareholder obtains 0.5 warrants for every 10 shares. Each warrant can be used to purchase one share of the Company, at an exercise price of RMB 19 Yuan for each share. According to the relevant rules of the warrant issue, the warrants held by the holders of restricted tradable shares, and directors, supervisors and senior management of the Company are not tradable whereas the other warrants are tradable. Up to the last trading date for SFC 2 on 27 June 2008, there were 95,388,057 SFC 2 exercised in total, increasing the share capital of the Company by RMB 95,388,057 Yuan. Pursuant to the resolution of the first 2008 extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on 15 October 2008, the Company appropriated dividends of 3 shares for every 10 shares, based on 2,388,795,202 outstanding shares prior to the share dividend.

The reserve is to be appropriated over a period of not more than five years, beginning in July 2005. As at 31 December 2008, the Company has met the above reserve requirement.

37 Unappropriated Profit Pursuant to a board resolution on 19 March 2008, based on the audited profit for the year as reported in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, in addition to the profit appropriations for the first half of 2007, the Company appropriated its net profit amounting to RMB 152,592 thousand and RMB 136,000 thousand to the statutory surplus reserve and the general reserve, respectively for the second half of 2007. The above appropriations were approved at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 12 June 2008. Pursuant to a board resolution on 20 August 2008, an appropriation of RMB 214,384 thousand based 10% of net profit as reported in the Company’s statutory financial statements for the first half of 2008 was made to the statutory surplus reserve; an appropriation of RMB 608,624 thousand was made to the general reserve; and dividends of 3 shares and RMB 0.335 Yuan for every 10 shares were appropriated from the unappropriated profit, amounting to RMB 796,663 thousand in total. The above appropriations were approved at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting held on 15 October 2008. Pursuant to a board resolution on 19 March 2009, based on the audited profit for the year as reported in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company reversed the statutory surplus reserve amounting to RMB 152,980 thousand in the second half of the year considering the respective appropriation in the first half of 2008, with the result that an appropriation of RMB 61,404 thousand was made to the statutory surplus reserve for 2008 based on 10% of the profit for the year; and an appropriation of RMB 258,968 thousand was made to the general reserve for the second half of 2008.

Financial guarantee contracts commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers upon the failure of the customers to perform the terms of the contracts. Commitments to extend credit represent contractual commitments to make loans to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiry dates. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Entrusted deposits represent funds that depositors have instructed the Company to use to make loans to third parties as designated by them. The credit risk remains with the depositors. Entrusted funding and entrusted investments represent the investment and asset management services provided by the Company for third parties in accordance with the agreed investment plans. The third parties provide funding for the related investments. Income from such investment activities is collected on behalf of and paid to the third parties according to the relevant contractual terms.

Contingent liabilities Legal proceedings As at 31 December 2008, the total claimed amount of the litigation cases of which the Company is the defendant was RMB 179 million (31 December 2007: RMB 161 million). These litigation cases are under legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, the Company has made adequate allowance for any probable losses based on the prevailing facts and circumstances. Apart from the above pending litigation cases, the respective liquidators of DeHeng Securities Co., Ltd. and the China Southern Securities Co., Ltd. had requested the Company to repay a total amount of RMB 430 million. The Company had opposed all such repayment requests. At the year end, based on the legal opinion from an independent third-party lawyer, the Company had no immediate obligation to repay the monies. Redemption commitments of government bonds As an underwriting agent of the PRC Government, the Company underwrites certain PRC government bonds and sells the bonds to the general public. The Company is obliged to redeem the bonds at the discretion of the holders at any time prior to maturity. The redemption price for the bonds is based on the nominal value of the bonds plus any interest accrued up to the redemption date. As at 31 December 2008, the Company had underwritten and sold bonds with an accumulated amount of RMB 3.1 billion (31 December 2007: RMB 3.67 billion) to the general public which have not matured or been redeemed. The MOF will not provide funding for the early redemption of these government bonds on a back-to-back basis but is obliged to repay the principal and the respective interest upon maturity. As at 31 December 2008, the unexpired underwriting commitment of the PRC government bonds amounted to RMB 2.35 billion (31 December 2007: RMB 2.65 billion).

40 Capital Management The primary objectives of the Company’s capital management are to ensure that the Company complies with regulatory capital requirements, to maximise shareholders’ value and to support the continuous growth in business. The Company regularly reviews its capital structure and makes adjustments to it through asset and liability management, so as to maintain the overall balance of the capital structure and maximisation of capital return. The required information of capital adequacy is filed with the CBRC by the Company on a quarterly basis. The CBRC requires banks that are established in Mainland China to maintain the capital adequacy ratio and core capital ration not below the minimum of 8% and 4%, respectively. The risk-weighted assets are measured according to the nature of individual assets and counterparty, reflecting an estimate of related credit, market and other risks after taking into account of any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposures, with adjustments made to reflect the contingent nature of any potential losses. The Company calculated and reported the core capital adequacy ratio and capital adequacy ratio in accordance with the “Regulation Governing Capital Adequacy Ratio of Commercial Banks” promulgated by the CBRC and the CBRC’s notice relating to the computation of the capital adequacy ratio after the implementation of ASBEs.

42 Risk Disclosure Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability to meet its obligations. The Company’s credit risk mainly arises from the loans and advances to customers, financial guarantees and loan commitments. The Company has established a Credit Portfolio Management Committee, which approves and determines the Company’s credit risk management strategies, credit risk preferences as well as its various credit risk management policies and standards. The Company has also formulated guidelines on corporate and retail credit policies across the Company and for specific industries. Furthermore, the Company has implemented a strategic customer categorisation management system, and set up a customer entry and exit mechanism to facilitate the sustainable development of its credit underwriting business. The Company implements a credit risk officer system, in which the Chief Credit Officer at the Head Office appoints credit officers to various business lines and branches. The credit officers directly report to the Chief Credit Officer, who is responsible for evaluating the performance of the credit officers and establishing an independent and transparent vertical credit risk management system. The Company has formulated a complete set of operational procedures for credit approval and management. These procedures are being enforced across the Company. Credit management procedures for its corporate and retail loans comprise the processes of credit origination, credit review, credit approval, disbursement, post-disbursement monitoring and collection. In addition, the Company has formulated the “Policies of Credit Underwriting”, which have defined the functions and responsibilities of different credit operational processes, and have enhanced the monitoring of the related compliance for improving the overall effective control of credit risk. The Company has strengthened its early warning monitoring system for the credit business with measures applicable to the portfolio level and to individual customers, resulting to early detection and effective management of credit risks. The Company sub-divides credit asset risks into 10 categories based on the five-tier loan classification system promulgated by the CBRC, namely, Pass One, Pass Two, Pass Three, Pass Four, Pass Five, Special Mention One, Special Mention Two, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Furthermore, a separate “Write-off” category has been added to the classification system. The Company applies different management policies to the loans in accordance with their respective loan categories. Risks arising from financial guarantees and loan commitments are similar to those associated with loans and advances. Transactions of financial guarantees and loan commitments are, therefore, subject to the same portfolio management and the same requirements for application and collateral as loans and advances to customers.

42 Risk Disclosure

(Continued)

Credit risk (Continued) Risk concentration of the maximum exposure to credit risk Credit risk is often greater when counterparties are concentrated in a single industry or geographic location or have comparable economic characteristics. The majority of the loans and financial guarantee contracts of the Company are related to the local customers within Mainland China. However, different areas in Mainland China have their own unique characteristics in terms of economic development. Therefore, each area in Mainland China could present different credit risks. Please refer to Note 20 for an analysis of concentration of loans and advances by industry and geographical region. Collateral and other credit enhancements The amount and type of collateral required are determined by the Company based on its assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. The Company has implemented guidelines regarding the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • For reverse repurchase transactions: bills, loans or securities • For commercial lending: charges over real estate properties, inventories, shares or trade receivables • For retail lending: mortgages over residential properties Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during its review of the adequacy of the provision for impairment losses. Credit quality The credit quality by class of financial asset (gross amount before deducting any impairment provision) of the Company is analysed as follows:

Impaired loans and advances Impaired loans and advances are defined as those loans and advances having objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occur after initial recognition, resulting in an impact on the estimated future cash flows of loans and advances that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and the situation where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. The fair value of the collateral that the Company holds relating to corporate loans and advances individually determined to be impaired at 31 December 2008 amounted to RMB 859 million (31 December 2007: RMB 1,988 million). The carrying amount of loans and advances that would otherwise be past due or impaired and whose terms have been renegotiated is as follows: In RMB’000

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The risk is attributable to any mismatch in amounts and terms between assets and liabilities. To limit the risk, management has arranged diversified funding sources, and monitors loans and deposit balances on a daily basis. The Company also maintains a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flows. Furthermore, the Company performs stress testing regularly to assess and identify the actions that can meet the payment obligations under different critical scenarios.

Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss, in respect of the Company’s on or off-balance sheet activities, arising from adverse movements in market rates including foreign exchange rates, interest rate, commodity prices and stock prices. Market risk arises from both the Company’s trading and non-trading businesses. The aim of market risk management of the Company is to mitigate undue losses of income and equity, and simultaneously, to reduce the Company’s exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments. The Company considers the market risk arising from commodity or stock prices in respect of its investment portfolio is immaterial. The Company’s Risk Management Committee and the Asset and Liability Management Committee are responsible for setting up market risk management policies, establishing market risk management objectives and determining market risk limits. The Asset and Liability Management Committee is responsible for controlling the volume, structure, interest rate and liquidity of the Company’s business. The Company’s Financial Information and Asset and Liability Management Department discharges the daily market risk monitoring function on behalf of the Asset and Liability Management Committee, including the determination of reasonable levels of market risk exposures, monitoring the daily treasury operation and proposing adjustments to the maturity profile of the assets and liabilities and the interest rate structure. Gap analysis is the key method used by the Company to monitor the market risk of its non-trading business activities. This method measures the impact of interest rate changes on income, with interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities grouped by their respective re-pricing bands for the calculation of the re-pricing gap. By multiplying this position with an assumed interest rate change, an approximate effect on the net interest income resulting from the assumed interest rate change is quantified.

Market risk (Continued) The market risk management information system is being developed for further improvement in market risk management measures. Financial derivative transactions entered into by the Company primarily provide effective economic hedges to other financial instruments held by the Company for the mitigation of interest and exchange rate risks. In the opinion of management, as the market risk of the Company’s trading business activities is not material, the Company has not separately disclosed quantitative information about exposure to market risk arising from the trading portfolio. Currency risk The Company's foreign exchange risk exposure mainly comprises exposures from the mismatch of foreign currency assets and liabilities, and off-balance sheet foreign exchange position arisen from derivative transactions. The currency risk of the Company mainly arises from loans and advances, investments and deposits denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has set limits on positions by currency. Positions are monitored on a daily basis and hedging strategies are used to ensure positions are maintained within established limits. As at 31 December 2008, the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities by currency are analysed as follows: 31 December 2008

The table below indicates the sensitivity analysis of exchange rate changes of the currencies to which the Company had significant exposure on its monetary assets and liabilities and its forecast cash flows. The analysis calculates the effect of a reasonably possible movement in the exchange rates against the RMB, with all other variables held constant on profit before tax. A negative amount in the table reflects a potential net reduction in profit before tax, while a positive amount reflects a net potential increase. As the Company has no cash flow hedges and has only a minimal amount of available-for-sale equity instruments denominated in foreign currencies, changes in exchange rates do not have any material potential impact on the equity.

Interest rate risk The Company’s interest rate risk mainly arises from the mismatch of contractual maturity or re-pricing dates between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of the Company are mainly denominated in RMB. The PBOC sets a cap and a floor on interest rates on deposits and loans, respectively. The Company manages its interest rate risk by adjusting the composition of assets and liabilities, monitoring indicators such as the interest rate sensitivity gap on a regular basis and measuring risk exposure in accordance with the re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Asset and Liability Management Committee meets regularly to discuss future movements in interest rates and manages interest rate risk exposures by adjusting the composition of the assets and liabilities. As at 31 December 2008, the contractual re-pricing dates or maturity dates, whichever were earlier, of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are analysed as follows: 31 December 2008

(Continued)

Market risk (Continued) Interest rate risk (Continued) The sensitivity of the net interest income is the effect of a reasonable possible change in interest rates on the net interest income for one year, in respect of the financial assets and liabilities (excluding financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) held at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity of equity is calculated by revaluing the year end portfolio of fixed-rate available-for-sale financial assets, based on a reasonable possible change in interest rates. The above sensitivity analyses are based on the following assumptions: (i) all assets and liabilities that are re-priced/due within three months (inclusive), and between three months and one year (inclusive) are assumed to be re-priced in the mid of the respective bands; and (ii) there are parallel shifts in the yield curve. Regarding to the above assumptions, the effect on the net interest income and equity as a result of the actual increases or decreases in interest rates may differ from that of the above sensitivity analyses.

Subject to the existence of an active market, such as an authorised securities exchange, the market value is the best reflection of the fair value of financial instruments. As there is no available market value for certain financial assets and liabilities held and issued by the Company, the discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods described below are adopted to determine the fair values of these assets and liabilities: (1) The receivables are non-transferable. The fair values of these receivables are estimated on the bases of pricing models or discounted cash flows. (2) The fair value of held-to-maturity debt securities and subordinated bonds are determined with reference to the available market values. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated on the bases of pricing models or discounted cash flows. All of the above-mentioned assumptions and methods provide a consistent basis for the calculation of the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities. However, other institutions may use different assumptions and methods. Therefore, the fair values disclosed by different financial institutions may not be entirely comparable. Financial instruments, for which their carrying amounts are the reasonable approximation of their fair values because, for example, they are short term in nature or are re-priced to current market rates frequently, are as follows: Assets

Cash and due from the Central Bank Placements of deposits with other financial institutions Funds loaned to other financial institutions Reverse repurchase agreements Loans and advances Other financial assets

Assessment Report on Internal Control E&Y Hua Ming (2009) Special No. 60438538 H02 The board of directors of Shenzhen Development, We audited the Self-appraisal Report on Internal Control of Shenzhen Development Bank prepared by the senior management of Shenzhen Development Bank (“your Bank”) under your delegation, with respect to establishment and implementation of internal control related to financial statement at 31 December 2008 of your Bank as stated in the Report. Your Bank made self-appraisal on the availability of establishment and implementation of internal control related to financial statement at 31 December 2008 in accordance with the relevant rules on normative standard set out in the MOF Internal Accounting Control Regulation – Basic Regulation (Pilot Version). It is responsibility of senior management of your Bank to establish an integral and reasonable internal control system and maintain its availability, ensure the availability of establishment and implementation of internal control related to financial statement as stated in the said Self-appraisal Report, and also guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the said Self-appraisal Report. Our audit is based on the Guidance Opinion about Internal Control Audit issued by the China Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In the process of auditing, we implemented the procedures including inquiry, test, assessment on establishment and implementation of internal control, and other procedures as we deemed necessary. We believe that our audit provided reasonable basis for issuing opinion. Subject to inherent limit of internal control, there is possibility of mistakes incurred by errors or frauds but not observed. Besides, there is certain risk of deducing the future availability of internal control on the basis of current assessment result, because the change of environment may lead to inappropriate internal control, or decline in compliance with internal policies and procedures. Therefore, the valid internal control in this term may not guarantee the validity in the future. We are of the view that the internal control related to financial statement of your Bank as stated in the said Self-appraisal Report is in line with the relevant rules on normative standard set out in the MOF Internal Accounting Control Regulation – Basic Regulation (Pilot Version) in all major aspects. The Report is just for the purpose of filing with relevant departments of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Any aftereffect resulted from misusage will be irrelevant with the CPA executing the business and the accounting firm.
