success comes, you will be rewarded). This is the spirit that lifts us
to the top of our game. Exim Bank has worked hard and has been able to
succeed in strengthening our institution. Looking back at 2012, we are proud
that as a bank we now better serve our customers, our communities and the

On behalf of the Members of the Board of Directors and myself, I am delighted to present to you Exim Bank’s Annual Report
for the year ended 31 December, 2012.
At Exim Bank, the year 2012 will fondly remain in our memories. It was the year that we celebrated our 15th Anniversary.

CHAIRMAN’S
STATEMENT

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

The year 2012 saw Exim Bank continue on a trajectory of strong growth. We have very nearly reached the exceptional
milestone in Tanzanian banking of one trillion shillings in assets. This outstanding accomplishment has been achieved in
Tanzania by only a handful of other banks. Exim Bank also operates the country’s fourth largest network of branches.
Headline numbers for 2012 were strong, including a 16% jump in total deposits to TZS 809 billion in 2012 from TZS 699
billion in 2011.The Group saw a 10% percent increase in after tax profits which rose to TZS 13.7 billion from TZS 12.4 billion
in 2011 despite increased spending on investments for the future. The Group lending portfolio prudently increased to 436
billion from TZS 428 billion in 2011. All the performance indicators are to be found in the financial section to follow.

ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE
TANZANIA
The economy of Tanzania in 2012 continued to position itself well. Relatively speaking,Tanzania stands out as a model of good
economic performance. The national rate of growth has been over 6% percent for 2011 and 2012. The government’s fiscal
debt slowly came down in both years. Indeed, and very positively, we see signs of stability which are contributing to growth
of real GDP, estimated to reach 7% GDP by 2013.
In the last quarter of 2012 the shilling steadied at a high of 1595 against the US dollar, down from about 1750 at the beginning
of the year 2011.The Bank of Tanzania’s cautious monetary and fiscal policy measures supported by Government is expected
to drive inflation further down in the 2012/2013 budget year.
Exim Bank safely navigated the economic environment, strengthened operations as well as our human resources and ensured
that the Bank was positioned to continue profitability into the future. The Bank is also committed to act as a responsible
corporate citizen at a time when many citizens have been adversely affected by the financial crisis of the recent past, by
subsequent economic downturns, drought and fluctuations in commodity prices.
Overall, the economy demonstrated in 2012 a good resilience to shocks and as already said, is expected to remain buoyant
going forward into 2013.

AFFILIATES IN DJIBOUTI AND COMOROS
Our new affiliate Exim Bank in Djibouti was inaugurated by the President of Djibouti, Ismail Omar Guelleh, in December
2011. We saw Exim Bank identifying opportunities and positioning itself to contribute to an economy that was on a path
for growth. The economy of Djbouti is derived in large part from its unique and strategic location on the Red Sea, where it
serves as the only ocean outlet for its large landlocked neighbor, Ethiopia with 90 million people, a country itself growing at
a 7% rate.
In the Union of Comoros, the Exim Bank affiliate in 2012 became the country’s fastest growing financial institution. We
established ourselves on two of the three islands of the Union and prepared plans during the year to expand onto the
remaining third island (Moheli). Exim Bank introduced a wide range of products to the country, including point of sale (POS)
services at hotels, ATMs, funds transfer service such as Money Gram, gold-lending schemes, tailored lending and trade
finance services.

CHAIRMAN’S
STATEMENT

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

AMONG HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2012
? In Tanzania, Exim Bank continued to expand its branch network; with new branches launched in Kigoma, along Lake
Tanganyika, gateway to commerce with Burundi and DR Congo; and in Moshi named Kilimanjaro, the second branch in a
town renown for agriculture and tourism; Exim Bank also added a second full service banking location at the agricultural
town of Babati.
? The income stream continued to be diversified, with targeted new products such as mortgage financing (“Nyumba
Yangu”) and a hybrid savings and investment product (“Haba na Haba”).
? We are proud of the launch of the Exim Academy in 2012, with multimedia delivery capacity and two theatres for
instructing the banking participants; the Bank considers training and development to be an investment, and spent an
excess of TZS 335 Million in 2012.
? Relationships were strengthened with international development finance institutions; we closed a $15 million loan for
on-lending to Tanzanian SMEs from the French Proparco.

ENABLING DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE
The growth of the Bank in 2012 is evidenced in part from the increased net headcount of nearly 127 in Tanzania.This growth
largely was to accommodate the expansion of our full service branches and for strengthening head office controls and for
business expansion, bringing total numbers to nearly 650 people.
The Bank prides itself in an enlightened equal opportunity policy. The numbers of men and women staff in 2012, as in 2011,
were almost 50% each. The Bank practices an internal recruitment policy that seeks talent first within the ranks of the
Bank.
Exim Bank has a distinctive culture, one of the reasons why clients and customers choose to bank with us and why
employees want to join and stay. The values – service, reliability, professionalism and integrity – are a compass, underpinning
all our activities. The Bank in 2012 continued on its journey to create long-term value and to contribute to a positive social
and economic impact on the communities we serve.
Our brand promise, “Innovation is life”, captures our genuine commitment to do more for customers. It also reaches out to our stakeholders and employees, with a simple yet compelling promise. It describes who we are, what we stand for and
what makes the bank different.

SUSTAINABILITY
In the next few years, the Tanzanian market is set for rapid growth, which will open up important opportunities for individuals
and businesses. At Exim Bank, we are determined to use our unique business model to deliver financial services with a value
proposition. This year, we have continued to build our capacity and diversify our channels of delivery through investment in
technology, infrastructure, training and by developing our employees. We have reengineered our operating procedures and
strengthened systems of managing risk. Adopting the ethos of “Kaizen”, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement,
we will enhance and further these efforts into 2013.

CHAIRMAN’S
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
STATEMENT

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

We aim to have a positive impact on people and communities. This objective means making Exim “the Bank of Choice”, and
a great place to work. We are confident, in the end, these attitudes and business model will further distinguish Exim Bank
and continue our growth.
It is true as we say in Kiswahili “Anayelala na mgonjwa ndiye anayejua miugulio” (You cannot understand someone until you
forge a relationship with them), we strive to position ourselves close to our customers and cast our net wide, for example,
to the Kigoma and other less-banked towns of Tanzania.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In conclusion, I would like to deeply thank the Members of the Board of Directors for their strong support, acumen and
guidance provided to me. I would like to extend my warm appreciation to the Bank of Tanzania, Members of Government, our
strategic partners (International Finance Corporation, FMO, Norwegian Trust Fund and PROPARCO), our correspondent
banks PTA Bank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Citibank, customers and our legal advisers, consultants and auditors for their
continuing trust and support for Exim Bank.
I also thank the Management and Staff of the Bank, who work hard to deliver excellent service to our customers and clients,
and strive to make the Exim Bank experience unique. Their efforts will help to keep the trust of our key stakeholders.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S
STATEMENT

YEAR IN REVIEW
2012 was another year of growth and distinction at Exim Bank. Our position in our home Tanzanian market was strengthened.
According to the Tanzania Banking Survey 2012 released this year, Exim Bank maintained its top tier position among Tanzania’s
ten largest banks in almost all major categories. In bank assets, as noted by the Chairman, Exim Bank approached the
exceptional trillion shilling threshold. The branch network is the fourth largest in Tanzania. The East African subsidiaries of
Djibouti and Comoros represented the biggest expansion outside the country of any indigenous Tanzanian bank. Exim Bank
further built on a reputation for innovation and providing quality and unmatched services.
Exim Bank scored another distinctive milestone in 2012 with celebration of the 15th Anniversary across the organization.
The many goodwill and brand building events held throughout the month of August provided opportunity for image building
and to recognize and thank customers and stakeholders.The year saw continuing business expansion at the subsidiaries, with
Exim Bank Comoros remaining the fastest growing bank in that country. Our expectation across the Exim Bank Group is to
maintain a deliberate pace of growth so as to broaden and deepen Exim Bank’s relationships, to be a bank of choice.

BANK PERFORMANCE 2012
As noted in the Chairman’s Statement, the bank continued on a trajectory of growth in 2012. Significant progress was
achieved during the year, notably with regard to the process of change initiated during the prior year 2010-2011 with an
aim to strengthen the bank’s foundation. Exim Bank ended the year 2012 on the doorstep of the coveted trillion shilling
milestone, with total assets soaring by 15% to TZS 966.55 billion in 2012 over TZS 841 billion recorded during the year
ended in December 2011. The audited financial results for the year show that basic earnings per share went up 9% to

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

TZS 1,059 in 2012 from TZS 972 in 2011, and total shareholder funds for the company rose 22.5% to TZS 109.427 billion
in 2012 from TZS 89.313 in 2011.
Across the board, major indicators were up. Exim Bank Comoros achieved a growth of 87% in after tax profit compared to
2011. Exim Bank Djibouti, officially launched by the President of Djibouti in December 2011, recorded 158% growth in total
assets for the year 2012, with total deposits growing 144% during the year 2012.

BANKING OPERATIONS
During the year, planned expansion at the bank included the opening of two strategic branches, at Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika
(a gateway to Burundi, DR Congo and Zambia) as well as the opening of a second branch named Kilimanjaro at Moshi (an
important base for commercial agriculture and tourism). The bank recruited sixty-five new employees, as head office and
control functions were strengthened. The change process initiated in 2010-2011 allowed the bank in 2012 to deepen its
utilization of advanced features of the new core banking system, allowing a more fully automated environment in terms of
information, communications and controls.
The platform and the business creativity Exim Bank continued to launch or further refine exciting asset and liability retail
products admired by the market. One such exciting product launched in January 2012 was “Nyumba Yangu”, a flexible home
loan product available for purchase, construction or renovation. Another popular product was “Haba na Haba”, a recurring
deposit scheme that encourages regular savings habit among lower income earners, salaried employees and corporates
alike. Exim Bank continued to promote our other industry-leading products for savings like Nyota and Tumaini that caters
to students and women.
The state-of–the art multimedia ‘Exim Academy’ was formally inaugurated in 2012. The Center has quickly earned a reputation
as a superior bank training facility in Dar es Salaam, and is highly appreciated by Exim staff. The Academy disseminates the
bank’s vision and values to the team across the network, with mentoring, coaching and counseling provided in both group
and one-to-one settings.
2012 saw Exim Bank continue to strengthen our relationship with international development finance agency partners such
as the Dutch FMO, the World Bank’s IFC, and with the French Proparco from whom Exim Bank agreed a USD$15 million
loan for on-lending to SMEs.

VIEWING THE FUTURE
Since being appointed to the post of MD in the first quarter of 2012, I am extremely upbeat on the future of the bank in
large measure because we are realizing the benefits and crafting new opportunities from the investments made in the bank’s
human resources and IT platforms. Exim Bank has been one of the major players in the evolution of Tanzania’s financial
sector, and we are now prepared to make even more important contributions to the Tanzanian economy and those of our
East African affiliates. We are recommitted to the core of Exim Bank values: innovation, reliability, integrity, professionalism,
and customer satisfaction. Our corporate and individual customers will continue to enjoy world class products.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S

Board of Directors is deeply acknowledged. They have enabled the many accomplishments realized during the year by
providing vision and oversight which has positioned the Bank for accelerated growth in 2013. We most importantly extend
our indebtedness to Exim Bank’s loyal customers. Sincere appreciation is also offered to our Regulators for their crucial
work, to our international Partners and correspondent banks for their support, and to the bank’s dedicated employees.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Exim Bank (Tanzania) Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries,

position of the Group and Company as at 31 December 2012, and their statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act, CAP 212 Act No. 12 of 2002
and for such internal control, as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 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, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, 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 opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and Company’s
financial affairs at 31 December 2012 and of their profits and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with

GENERAL INFORMATION



The Bank is a limited liability company and is incorporated and domiciled in United Republic of Tanzania.The address of
its registered office is:





Exim Tower,
1404/45, Ghana Avenue,
Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



(a) Basis of preparation



These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The measurement basis applied in the preparation of these financial statements is the historical cost basis, except where
otherwise stated in the accounting policies below.The financial statements are presented in Tanzania Shillings (TZS) and
the amounts are rounded to the nearest million, except where otherwise indicated.



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates
and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Bank’s accounting
policies.The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are
significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.



(i) Amended standards which became effective during the year




There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on
1 January 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.



(ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early
adopted by the Group



A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning
after 1 January 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to
have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Bank, except the following set out below:

Exim Bank Limited (the Bank or Company used interchangeably) and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) provide
retail and corporate banking services in United Republic of Tanzania, The Union of Comores and The Republic of
Djibouti.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied in all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

NOTES (continued)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



(a) Basis of preparation (continued)



Amendment to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ regarding other comprehensive income. The main change
resulting from these amendments is a requirement for entities to group items presented in ‘other comprehensive
income’ (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification
adjustments). The amendments do not address which items are presented in OCI. The application of this amendment
will mainly impact the presentation of the primary statements. The amendment is effective for periods beginning on or
after 1 July 2012.



IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition
of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The
requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRSs and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting
but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards
within IFRSs or US GAAP. The application of IFRS 13 may enhance fair value disclosures in a lot of circumstances. The
standard is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.



IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities. Issued in November 2009 and October 2012, it replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification
and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement
categories: those measured at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial
recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39
requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a
fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income
statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The directors are yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact and intend to
adopt IFRS 9 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2015.



(ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early
adopted by the bank (continued)



IFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements’, builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent.
The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess.
The directors are yet to assess IFRS 10’s full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 10 no later than the accounting period
beginning on or after 1 January 2013.



IFRS 12, ‘Disclosures of interests in other entities’, includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in
other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
The directors are yet to assess IFRS 12’s full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 12 no later than the accounting period
beginning on or after 1 January 2013.



There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material
impact on the Group and the Bank.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)





(b) Consolidation



The financial statements of the subsidiaries used to prepare the group financial statements were prepared as of the
parent’s reporting date. The consolidation principles are unchanged as against the previous year.



A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another
entity.A subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. It is de-consolidated
from the date on which control ceases.



The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed
at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition.



Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.





(c) Interest income and expense



The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and
of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period.The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or,
when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation
includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate,
transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.



Once a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss,
interest income is recognised using the rate of interest that was used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose
of measuring the impairment loss.





(d) Fees and commission income

Subsidiaries

Interest income and expense for all interest bearing financial instruments are recognised within interest income or
interest expense in profit or loss for all interest bearing instruments measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.

Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Loan commitment
fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) and recognised as an
adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



(e) Dividend income



Dividends are recognized in profit or loss in ‘Dividend income’ when the entity’s right to receive payment is
established.





(f) Translation of foreign currencies



Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into the Tanzania Shillings using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.



The results and financial position of the subsidiary which has a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:



? Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet;



? Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and
expenses are translated at the date of the transactions); and



? All resulting exchange differences except those arising from intra-group monetary assets or liabilities are
recognised as a separate component of equity. Those arising from intra-group monetary assets and liabilities are
recognised in profit or loss for the year.





(g) Financial assets



(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss



This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit
or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the
short term or if so classifying eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement inconsistency. Derivatives are also
categorised as held for trading.

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are
presented in Tanzania Shillings which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
loans and receivables; held-to-maturity financial assets; and available-for-sale financial assets. Management determines
the appropriate classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.The Bank uses trade date accounting for regular
way contracts when recording financial asset transactions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)





(g) Financial assets (continued)



Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. They arise when the company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention
of trading the receivable.



(iii) Held-to maturity



Held-to-maturity assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities
that management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Were the company to sell more than an
insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category would have to be reclassified as available for sale.



(iv) Available-for-sale



Available for sale investments are those intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in
response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.

(ii) Loans and receivables




(v) Recognition of financial assets
Purchases and sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale are
recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets
are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit
or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction
costs are expensed in profit or loss.
(vi) Subsequent measurement on financial assets



In subsequent periods, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried at
fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’
are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value
of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised directly in equity until the financial asset is derecognised or impaired,
at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss account.
However, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on availablefor-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Bank’s right to receive payment is established.
(vii) Derecognition of financial assets



Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have
expired or where the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

(h) Financial liabilities



The Group holds financial liabilities at amortised cost at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are initially
recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition all financial liabilities other than derivatives are measured
at amortized cost. Derivatives are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value.Financial liabilities are
derecognised when extinguished.



Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are deposits from banks or customers, senior debts and subordinated
debts.



(i) Classes of financial assets and liabilities



The Bank classified the financial assets and liabilities into classes that reflect the nature of information and take into
account the characteristics of those financial instruments. The classification made can be seen in the table as follows:
Financial assets
Cash and balances with Central Banks
Loans and advances banks
Loans and advances to customers
Government securities held to maturity
Investment securities - held to maturity
Investment securities – available for sale
Derivative assets
Other assets excluding prepayments

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss



(j) Impairment of financial assets



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

(j) Impairment of financial assets (continued)



(i) Assets carried at amortised cost



The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:








?
?
?
?
?
?



The estimated period between a loss occurring and its identification is determined by management for each identified
portfolio. In general, the periods used vary between three months and twelve months; in exceptional cases, longer
periods are warranted.



The Group assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for all financial assets that are
individually significant.



If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial assets,
whether significant or not it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics
and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which
impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.



The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets 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 a provision
account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.



When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for loan impairment. Such loans are written
off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined.



If, in subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to
an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtors credit rating), the
previously recognised impairment loss is revised by adjusting the provision account. The amount of the reversal is
recognised in profit or loss in impairment charge for credit losses.

Delinquency in contractual payments of principal or interest;
Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower;
Breach of loan covenants or conditions;
Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings;
Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position; and
Deterioration in the value of collateral.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



(j) Impairment of financial assets (continued)



(ii) Assets carried at fair value



In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for
available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the
current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed
from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on equity instruments are
not reversed through the profit and loss account. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified
as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss
was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the profit and loss account.



(k) Derivative financial instruments



Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from valuation techniques (for example for swaps
and currency transactions), including discounted cash flow models and options pricing models, as appropriate. All
derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.





(l) Property and equipment




Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of these assets.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis to write down their cost to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives, as follows:
Applicable rate
Buildings
Leasehold premises
Motor vehicles
Office equipment
Computer hardware
Furniture and fittings



4%
11%
25%
15% - 20%
25%
15%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



(l) Property and equipment (continued)



Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).



Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with their carrying
amount and are taken into account in determining operating profit.



(m) Intangible assets



Intangible assets comprise computer software licences and are recognised at cost. Intangible assets with a definite useful
life are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful economic life, generally not exceeding 4
years.The Bank chooses to use the cost model for the measurement after recognition. Costs associated with maintaining
computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.



(n) Provisions



Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.



(o) Income tax



Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to the profit and loss account in respect of current income tax and
deferred income tax.



Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year determined in accordance
with the Tanzanian Income Tax Act.



Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income
tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that
at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred
income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet
date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.



Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which temporary differences can be utilised.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents





(q) Employee benefits



The Bank and all its employees contribute to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), which is a defined contribution
scheme. A defined contribution plan is a scheme under which the Bank pays fixed contributions into a separate entity
(NSSF). The Bank has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the Fund does not have sufficient
assets to pay the employees post employment benefits. Employees contribute 10% and the Bank also contributes 10%
to the scheme. The Bank’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to profit or loss in the year
to which they relate.



(ii) Other entitlements



The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the balance sheet date is recognised
as an expense accrual.



(r) Share capital



Ordinary shares are classified as ‘share capital’ in equity.





(s) Borrowings





Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less, including: cash and balances with Central Banks, Government
Securities with original maturities of 90 days or less and loans and advances to banks. Cash and cash equivalents
excludes the cash reserve requirement held with the Central Banks.

(i) Retirement benefit obligations

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, being their issue proceeds (fair value of consideration received) net of
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between proceeds net
of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using
the effective interest method.
(t) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.

Acceptances and letters of credit are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions and disclosed as contingent
liabilities.



(w) Accounting for leases



Leases of assets are classified as operating leases if the lessor effectively retains all the risks and benefits. Payments made
under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, unless another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the benefit is derived from the leased asset.



(x) Comparatives



Except when a standard or an interpretation permits or requires otherwise, all amounts are reported or disclosed
with comparative information. Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation in the current year.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT



3.1 Credit Risk





3.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement



In measuring credit risk of loan and advances to customers and to banks at a counterparty level, the Group and
Company reflects three components (i) the ‘probability of default’ by the client or counterparty on its contractual
obligations and (ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development, from which the Group
derives the ‘exposure at default’.



These credit risk measurements, which reflect expected loss (the ‘expected loss model’), are embedded in the Banks’
daily operational management. The operational measurements can be contrasted with impairment allowances required
under IAS 39, which are based on losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date (the ‘incurred loss model’)
rather than expected losses.

For example, for a loan this is the face value. For a commitment, the Group and Company include any amount
already drawn plus the further amount that may have been drawn by the time of default, should it occur.

(a) Loans and advances

The Group and Company assesses the probability of default of individual counterparties using internal rating tools
tailored to the various categories of counterparty in line with the Bank of Tanzania (BOT) guidelines. Customers
of the Banks’ are segmented into five rating classes. The Group’s rating scale, which is shown below, reflects the
range of default probabilities defined for each rating class. This means that, in principle, exposures migrate
between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes.

3.1 Credit Risk





3.1.2 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies



The exposure to any one borrower including banks is further restricted by sub-limits covering on- and off-balance sheet
exposures. Actual exposures against limits are monitored daily. Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular
analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by
changing these lending limits where appropriate.





Some other specific control and mitigation measures are outlined below.



The Group and Company employ a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these
is the taking of security for funds advanced, which is common practice.The Group and Company implements guidelines
on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and
advances are:

The Group and Company manage limits and control concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified in
particular, to individual counterparties and groups, and to industries. The Group and Company structure the levels of
credit risk they undertake by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower, or groups of
borrowers, and to industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to an annual or more
frequent review, when considered necessary.

(a) Collateral

? Mortgages over residential properties;
? Charges over business assets such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable;
? Charges over financial instruments such as debt securities and equities.


Longer-term finance and lending to corporate entities are generally secured; revolving individual credit facilities are
generally unsecured. In addition, in order to minimise the credit loss the Group and Company will seek additional
collateral from the counterparty as soon as impairment indicators are noticed for the relevant individual loans and
advances.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)



3.1 Credit Risk (continued)



3.1.2 Risk Limit Control and Mitigation Policies (continued)



(b) Credit-related commitments



The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees
and standby letters of credit carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit – which
are written undertakings on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on a bank up to a stipulated
amount under specific terms and conditions – are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they
relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct loan.



Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans,
guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group and Company
is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments.



However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments, as most commitments to extend credit
are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group and Company monitors the term to
maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than
shorter-term commitments.



(c) Lending limits (for derivatives and loan book)



The Group and Company maintain strict control limits on net derivative positions (i.e difference between purchases and
sales contracts), by both amount and term. At any one time, the amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current
fair value of instruments that are favourable to the Group and Company (i.e assets where their fair value is positive),
which in relation to derivatives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values used to express the volume
of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers,
together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for
credit risk exposures on these instruments, except where the Bank requires margin deposits from counterparties.



Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equities is made in the expectation of a
corresponding receipt in cash, securities or equities. Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to
cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Bank’s market transactions on any single day.



3.1.3 Impairment and provisioning policies



The internal rating system described in Note 3.1.1 focus more on credit-quality mapping from the inception of the
lending and investment activities. In contrast, impairment provisions are recognised for financial reporting purposes
only for losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date based on objective evidence of impairment. Due
to the different methodologies applied, the amount of incurred credit losses provided for in the financial statements
are usually lower than the amount determined from the expected loss model that is used for internal operational
management and banking regulation purposes.

3.1.3 Impairment and provisioning policies



The impairment provision shown in the balance sheet at period-end is derived from each of the five internal rating
grades. However, the majority of the impairment provision generally comes from the bottom two grades. The table

The internal rating tool assists management to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists under IAS
39, based on the following criteria set out by the Group and Company:








? Delinquency in contractual payments of principal or interest;
? Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower
? Breach of loan covenants or conditions;
? Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings;
? Deterioration of the borrower’s competitive position; and
? Deterioration in the value of collateral.



The Group’s and Company’s policy requires the review of individual financial assets that are above materiality thresholds
at least annually or more regularly when individual circumstances require. Impairment allowances on individually
assessed accounts are determined by an evaluation of the incurred loss at balance-sheet date on a case-by-case basis,
and are applied to all individually significant accounts. The assessment normally encompasses collateral held (including
re-confirmation of its enforceability) and the anticipated receipts for that individual account.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)



3.2 Market risk



The Group and Company take an exposure to market risks, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows
of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in
interest rate, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and
changes in the level of volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates
and equity prices.



The market risks arising from trading and non-trading activities are concentrated in the Group’s and Company’s
treasury department and monitored regularly. Regular reports are submitted to the Group and Company Assets and
Liability Committees (ALCO) and heads of department.



3.2.1 Foreign exchange risk



The Group and Company take on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange
rates on its financial position and cash flows. ALCO sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in aggregate
for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily. With all other variables held constant, a shift
in foreign exchange rate by 5% on all US Dollar denominated assets and liabilities which is a major foreign currency
exposure to the Group would have resulted in lower or higher profit after tax of TZS 255 million as at 31 December
2012 (2011: TZS 764 million).



The tables below summarises the Group’s and Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at 31
December 2012. Included in the table are the Group’s and Company’s financial instruments at carrying amounts,
categorised by currency.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)



3.2 Market risk (continued)



3.2.2 Price risk



The Group and Company are exposed to equity securities price risk because of its investment in listed shares classified
on the balance sheet as available for sale.



If the stock market price of shares had increased/decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, the fair value
reserve in equity would have increased/decreased as a result of gains or losses on equity securities classified as available
for sale by TZS 946 million as at 31 December 2012 (2011:TZS 729 million).



3.2.3 Interest rate risk



Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group and Company take on exposure to the effects of
fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on both its fair value and cash flow risks. Interest margins
may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The
Group’s and Company’s Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate
repricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored daily by the Group and Company.



With all other variables held constant, a shift in interest rate by 100 basis points on all interest bearing assets and
liabilities would have resulted in lower or higher profit after tax of TZS 450 million as at 31 December 2012 (2011: TZS
406 million).



The table below summarises the Group’s and Company’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Group’s and
Company’s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of contractual repricing or maturity
dates. The Group and Company do not bear any interest rate risk on off-balance sheet items.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)



3.3 Liquidity risk



Liquidity risk is the risk that a Company is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities
when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence may be the failure to meet
obligations to repay depositors and fulfil commitments to lend.



3.3.1 Liquidity risk management process



The Group’s and Company’s liquidity management process, as carried out within the Group and Company are monitored
by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) of the individual banks. This includes:



? Day-to-day funding, managed by monitoring future cash flows to ensure that requirements can be met. These
include replenishment of funds as they mature or are borrowed by customers. The Group and Company maintain
an active presence in money markets to enable this to happen;



? Maintaining a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can easily be liquidated as protection against any
unforeseen interruption to cash flow;



?

Monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and regulatory requirements; and



?

Managing the concentration and profile of debt maturities.



Monitoring and reporting take the form of cash flow measurement and projections for the next day, week and month
respectively, as these are key periods for liquidity management. The starting point for those projections is an analysis of
the contractual maturity of the financial liabilities and the expected collection date of the financial assets (Note 3.3.3).



3.3.2 Funding approach



Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by the Group’s and Company’s Asset and Liability Committee to maintain a
wide diversification by currency, geography, provider, product and term.

The tables below present the cash flows payable by the Group and Company under non-derivative financial liabilities
by remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows, as the Group and Company manage the inherent liquidity risk based on expected undiscounted

3.4 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities



(a) Financial instruments not measured at fair value



The fair value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value approximate carrying amounts for both Group
and Company, except for Government securities.



(i) Loans and advances to banks



Loans and advances to banks include inter-bank placements and items in the course of collection. The carrying amount
of floating rate placements and overnight deposits is a reasonable approximation of fair value.



The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing deposits is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing moneymarket interest rates for debts with similar credit risk and remaining maturity.



(ii) Loans and advances to customers



Loans and advances are net of charges for impairment. The estimated fair value of loans and advances represents the
discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received. Expected cash flows are discounted at
current market rates to determine fair value. The carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.



(iii) Government and investment securities



The fair value for held-to-maturity assets is based on market prices.Where this information is not available, fair value is
estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics. The carrying
amount of investment securities is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The fair value of Government securities
amounts to TZS 189,669million (2011: Approximated carrying amount).



(iv) Deposits from banks and due to customers



The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes non-interest bearing deposits, is the amount
repayable on demand.



The estimated fair value of interest-bearing deposits not quoted in an active market is based on discounted cash flows
using interest rates for new debts with similar remaining maturity. The carrying amount is a reasonable approximation
of fair value.



(v) Off-balance sheet financial instruments



The estimated fair values of the off-balance sheet financial instruments are based on market prices for similar facilities.
When this information is not available, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis.

(b) Fair value hierarchy



IFRS 7 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are
observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources; unobservable
inputs reflect the Group’s and Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following
fair value hierarchy:



? Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed
equity securities and debt instruments on Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange.

? Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
?




Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
This level includes equity investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Group considers relevant and
observable market prices in its valuations where possible.

The Bank’s objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the ‘equity’ on the face of balance sheets,
are:

3.5 Capital management

? To comply with the capital requirements set by the Bank of Tanzania;
? To safeguard the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
? To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.


Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Bank’s management, employing techniques
based on the guidelines developed by the Basel Committee, as implemented by the Bank of Tanzania, for supervisory
purposes. The required information is filed with the Central Banks on a quarterly basis.



The BoT requires each bank or banking group to:



(a) hold the minimum level of Core Capital of TZS 5 billion;



(b) maintain a ratio of core capital to the risk-weighted assets plus risk-weighted off-balance sheet assets (the ‘Basel
ratio’) at or above the required minimum of 10%;



(c) and maintain total capital of not less than 12% of risk-weighted assets plus risk-weighted off-balance sheet items.

3.5 Capital management (continued)

? The Bank’s regulatory capital as managed by its Treasury department is divided into two tiers:
? Tier 1 capital: share capital, retained earnings and reserves created by appropriations of retained earnings.
Intangible assets and prepaid expenses are deducted in arriving at Tier 1 capital; and
? Tier 2 capital: qualifying subordinated loan capital, collective impairment allowances and unrealised gains arising on
the fair valuation of equity instruments held as available for sale.


The risk-weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to the nature
of – and reflecting an estimate of credit, market and other risks associated with each asset and counterparty, taking into
account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposure, with some
adjustments to reflect the more contingent nature of the potential losses.



The table below summarises the composition of regulatory capital and the ratios of the Bank for the year ended 31
December 2012 and year ended 31 December 2011. During those two periods, the Bank complied with all of the
externally imposed capital requirements to which they are subject.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.
It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.



The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
period. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.



(a) Impairment losses on loans and advances



The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an
impairment loss should be recorded in the profit and loss account, the management makes judgements as to whether
there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows in an
individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse
change in the payment status of borrowers, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults
on assets. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics
and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The
methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed
regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience (refer to Note 16 for details).
Were the net present value of estimated cash flows to differ by +/- 1%, the impairment loss is estimated to be TZS 79
million lower or TZS 83 million higher.



(b) Held to maturity investments



The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity. This classification requires significant judgement. In making this
judgement, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group fails to keep
these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, selling an insignificant amount
close to maturity – it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale.The investments would therefore
be measured at fair value not amortised cost. If all held-to-maturity investments were to be so reclassified, the carrying
value would increase by TZS4,521 million, with a corresponding entry in the fair value reserve in shareholders’ equity.



(c) Impairment of available for sale equity investments



The Bank determines that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires
judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In
addition, impairment may be appropriate when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the investee,
industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS



(d) Fair value of derivatives



The fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques.
To the extent practical, models use only observable data; however, areas such as volatilities and correlations require
management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial
instruments.

* It is not practical to determine the fair value because of lack of appropriate market data.
Use and measurement of derivative instruments
In the normal course of the business, the Bank enters into a variety of derivative transactions for both trading and hedging
purposes. Derivative financial instruments are entered into for trading purposes and for hedging foreign exchange and
interest rate exposures. Derivative instruments used by the Bank in both trading and hedging activities include swaps,
forwards and other similar types of instruments based on foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk and prices of
equities.
The risks associated with derivative instruments are monitored in the same manner as for the underlying instruments. Risks
are also measured across the product range in order to take into account possible correlations.
The fair value of all derivatives is recognised on the balance sheet and is only netted to the extent that a legal right of set off
exists and there is an intention to settle on a net basis.
The Bank entered into an interest rate swap contract with Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania Limited during the year 2009.
Under interest rate swap agreement the bank is a fixed rate payer and the other party is a floating rate payer for the period
of the swaps. The Swap agreement expired on 30 August 2012 and due to the market volatility the Bank did not renew the
contract.
Swaps are transactions in which two parties exchange cash flows on a specified notional amount for a predetermined period.
Interest rate swap contracts generally entail the contractual exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments in a single
currency, based on a notional amount and an interest reference rate.
Forwards are contractual obligations to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date at a specified price. Forward
contracts are tailor made agreements that are transacted between counterparties in the over the counter market.

Contingent liabilities


Nature of contingent liabilities

An acceptance is an undertaking by a bank to pay a bill of exchange drawn on a customer. The bank expects most acceptances
to be presented, and reimbursement by the customer is normally immediate. Letters of credit commit the bank to make
payments to third parties, on production of documents, which are subsequently reimbursed by customers. Guarantees are
generally written by a bank to support performance by a customer to third parties. The bank will only be required to meet
these obligations in the event of the customer’s default.
