Soneri Bank Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT TO
SHAREHOLDERS
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Directors' Report of Soneri Bank Limited (Bank) along with the audited
financial statements and auditors' report thereon for the year ended 31 December 2014.
ECONOMY
The year 2014 was full of challenges both on economic and political fronts. Notwithstanding, the country has emerged with better stability
and positive outlook on growth, inflation and external account. This has been reinforced by Moody's outlook upgrade on Pakistan sovereign
bonds from Negative to Neutral.
The key macroeconomic indicators have improved as compared to 2013. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in FY 2014 was 4.1
percent as compared to 3.6 percent in FY 2013. Drop in oil prices in the FY 2014 has come through as a major relief for Pakistan with less
pressure on external account as well as reduction in inflationary pressure. Central bank has revised the estimated inflation for the current
financial year to 4.5-5.5 percent against an annual target of 8 percent.
Further Pakistan has successfully completed International Monetary Fund's (IMF) 4th and 5th reviews and the issuance of international
Sukuk has led to an improvement in overall balance of payments position. These foreign exchange inflows have contributed to an upward
trajectory in reserves. The fiscal deficit thus far has been contained which is an encouraging sign. The equity markets crossed 34,000 points
on the KSE-100 Index providing healthy returns to investors.
Amidst this recovery, year on year growth in private sector credit and deposits was lower than last year. The slowdown in credit growth is
attributable to both demand and supply side issues. While the recent 100 basis points cut in discount rate announced in January 2015
monetary policy is expected to provide stimulus to the economy. The prevailing energy crisis and security concerns remain a concern.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Your Bank continues to deliver well against its strategy. All performance targets set for 2014 were met. Most importantly, the Bank adequately
meets the SBP Basel III requirements and is well positioned to meet its growth plans. Tier 2 TFC issue is also in the pipeline which is
targeted to further strengthen the capital position.
The Bank's strategic focus has been and remains managed business growth, process improvement, and proactive management of cost
and delinquent assets. It is noteworthy that over the last four years, the Bank has doubled its deposits and advances portfolio and kept
pace with industry growth. Looking at the last six years performance, the deposits base of the Bank increased to Rs.163.25 billion which
translates into compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.29 percent. The CASA component of deposits shows an impressive growth,
with six years CAGR of 21.27 percent. This represents Bank's focus to mobilize low cost deposits. Similarly net advances now stand at
Rs.106.08 billion with six year CAGR of 15.36 percent. Bank increased its outreach and now offers banking services from 246 branches
and 263 ATMs.
During the year, the Bank focused on improving customer experiences and doing media launches to establish brand value. These were
well received by the public, giving the Bank a good market presence.

Bank has achieved a profit after tax of Rs.1.58 billion which is 52.58

Revenue comprising net markup income and non-markup income has increased by 22.62 percent versus 2013. This is underpinned by
higher spread and average net earning assets. This is in spite of regulations enforced towards the end of 2013 which link discount rate to
deposit payout, and hence allows restricted flexibility in managing spreads. Non-markup income is higher by 10.21 percent. Fee, commission
income contributes to 75 percent of this increase while income from dealing in Foreign Currencies and other Income also show a substantial
increase.

Soneri Bank Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT TO
SHAREHOLDERS
Non-markup expenses have registered a growth of 18.34 percent which is in line with the Bank's growth strategy and has also been
impacted by inflationary pressure. Seven new branches were added to the network while branches opened last year also added to the
cost. Further five non profitable branches were closed during the year due to lack of prospects. The branch network of the Bank now
stands at 246 (2013: 239).
Non-performing loans of the Bank decreased by 1.92 percent during the year. The asset quality of the Bank has improved with infection
ratio down to 8.99 percent (2013: 9.99 percent). The NPL coverage has been prudently managed and increased to 74.78 percent (2013:
68.48 percent).
The Balance Sheet has significantly grown with total assets increasing by 25.96 percent. Overall deposits show an impressive growth of
16.13 percent with CASA deposits increasing by 11.66 percent while Current deposit increase by 17.88 percent. Consequently the Bank
was able to withstand the pressure on cost of deposits due to discount rate increase versus 2013. Advances (net of provisions) grew by
9.16 percent. Bank's net Advances to Deposits ratio decreased to 64.98 percent from 69.13 percent in 2013. This is strategically being
managed in this range. Surplus funds continue to be deployed in Government Securities.
DIVIDEND
The Board has recommended a final cash dividend of Rs.1.00 per share (i.e. 10%) for the year ended 31 December 2014 to be approved
in the 23rd Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders.
LOOKING AHEAD
Sustaining macroeconomic stability will remain a key challenge for the country. The respite given by plunging oil prices and some foreign
inflows need to be backed by structural reforms which address energy shortages, fiscal and current account deficits. Political stability will
be necessary to carry forward these reforms.
Banking spreads come under pressure as falling oil prices allow monetary authorities the flexibility to further reduce the policy rate. This
will be a factor of duration of PIB holdings held by the banks and consequent re-investment risk, along with the deposit mix and ability to
re-price the portfolio. Further recent remarks by SBP governor on the need to 'rationalize' banking spreads hints at possible regulatory
measures to 'lower the spread' by June 2015.
On the other hand, capital markets are expected to remain bullish based upon renewed impetus of incremental investment flows. This will
provide an opportunity to banks as well. The IMF program remains on track and expected proceeds from privatization leading to strengthening
of the SBP's reserve position will lead to further exchange rate stability.
Despite this challenging landscape, your Bank believes that there are beneficial opportunities to be exploited. The Bank is geared up to
continue its growth story by increasing core deposits and improving trade volumes. On credit front our strategy is to focus on asset quality
and effective management of watch listed relationship. During 2014 there was considerable reduction in NPLs and this focus is expected
to be maintained and settlements pursued aggressively. While bank has always supported private sector credit, it will pose a challenge
going forward due to declining prices of crude oil, commodities etc.
Bank is well capitalized under the SBP defined BASEL III based capital adequacy ratio. Furthermore, the Bank is committed to investing
in building greater efficiencies and creating a secure operating environment. For the purpose of IT infrastructure, upgrade is underway.
In 2014, the Bank focused on rebranding of branches, service quality improvements, website re-design and product launch campaigns. In
2015 we look forward to continue these efforts with the addition of the digital media medium.
CREDIT RATING
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) maintained the long term credit rating of AA- (Double A Minus) and short term rating of A1+
(A One Plus) through its notification dated: 04 June 2014 [2013: long term AA- (Double A Minus): short term A1+ (A One Plus) and instrument
rating A+ (A plus)].
SECOND (2ND) ISSUANCE OF TERM FINANCE CERTIFICATES (TFCs)
The Board of Directors in their 140th meeting held on 11 December 2014 approved issuance of second (2nd) TFCs of the Bank for an
amount up to Rs. 3,000 million which is currently in process.

STATEMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROLS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
The Bank's management acknowledges its responsibility for establishing and maintaining a sound system of internal controls to provide
reasonable assurance to achieve the following objectives:

Ef ficiency and effectiveness of operations

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

Reliability of financial reporting

The Banks internal control structure comprises of the Internal Control Department, Compliance and Control Group, Internal Audit Division
and Risk Management Group. The structure is designed to implement sound control procedures to maintain a suitable control environment
and ensure compliance of policies approved by the Board of Directors.
The Bank has adopted the internationally accepted COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of Treadway Commission) Framework
of Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Initially a reputable advisory firm was engaged to provide professional guidance in documenting,
assessing and testing the existing key Processes and Controls in line with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) guidelines on Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting (ICFR). However, over the years to further strengthen controls, enhance governance and monitoring, the management
established an Internal Control Department which is an integral part of Compliance & Control Group of the Bank. The Bank has developed
a comprehensive testing and reporting framework for ensuring ongoing operating effectiveness of majority of key controls and has significantly
addressed the design improvement opportunities identified to complete the project related initiatives.
Further, Bank has an effective Internal Audit Division which not only monitors compliance with the Bank's policies, procedures and controls
and reports significant deviations regularly to the Board Audit Committee, but also regularly reviews the adequacy of the overall Internal
Control System. The observations and weaknesses pointed out by the external auditors are also addressed promptly and necessary steps
are taken by the management to eliminate such weaknesses.
Compliance & Control Group in order to ensure effective implementation of internal controls as well as to minimize various regulatory,
reputational and compliance risks, conducts on-site monitoring of branches through periodical visits. Off-site monitoring is also done through
various automated tools such as SAS AML, World Check, Sonaware Dot Net as well as various internally developed systems.
While concerted efforts have always been made to comply with the State Bank of Pakistan Guidelines issued, the identification, evaluation,
and management of risks within each of the Bank's key activities, and their continued evaluation and resultant changes remains an ongoing
process. It is pertinent to mention that, internal control system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk. As such it can only
provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
In accordance with SBP directives, the Bank has completed all the stages of ICFR. Upon satisfactory completion of ICFR roadmap, SBP
had granted waiver to the Bank from the submission of Long Form Report (LFR) by external auditors for the years 2012 and 2013. An
annual assessment report by Board Audit Committee(BAC) on ICFR duly signed by Chairman BAC was submitted to SBP for the year 2013
based on which exemption for LFR was received from SBP for the year 2014 and beyond.
The Bank has successfully completed the updation and review of Internal Control over Financial Reporting exercise for the Year 2014 as
per SBP Internal Control Guidelines. In accordance with the said directives, the Annual Assessment Report for the Year 2014 shall be
submitted by Board Audit Committee to the SBP during the year 2015.

limited primarily to inquiries of the Bank's personnel and review of various documents prepared by the Bank to comply with the Code.
As a part of our audit of the financial statements, we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal control systems
sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not required to consider whether the Board of Directors' statement
on internal control covers all risks and controls or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls, the Bank's corporate
governance procedures and risks.
The Code requires the Bank to place before the Audit Committee, and upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, place before the
Board of Directors for their review and approval its related party transactions distinguishing between transactions carried out on terms
equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions and transactions which are not executed at arm's length price and recording
proper justification for using such alternate pricing mechanism. We are only required and have ensured compliance of this requirement to
the extent of the approval of the related party transactions by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee. We
have not carried out any procedures to determine whether the related party transactions were undertaken at arm's length price or not.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance does not appropriately
reflect the Bank's compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in the Code as applicable to the Bank for the year
ended December 31, 2014.

We have audited the annexed statement of financial position of Soneri Bank Limited (the Bank) as at December 31, 2014 and the related
profit and loss account, statement of comprehensive income, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity together with the
notes forming part thereof (here-in-after referred to as the 'financial statements') for the year then ended, in which are incorporated the
un-audited certified returns from the branches, except for thirty five branches, which have been audited by us and we state that we have
obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
It is the responsibility of the Bank's management to establish and maintain a system of internal control, and prepare and present the financial
statements in conformity with the approved accounting standards and the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 (LVII
of 1962), and the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing as applicable in Pakistan. These standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of any material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting policies and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion and after due verification, which in the
case of loans and advances covered more than sixty percent of the total loans and advances of the Bank, we report that:
(a)

in our opinion, proper books of accounts have been kept by the bank as required by the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984),
and the returns referred to above received from the branches have been found adequate for the purposes of our audit;

(b) in our opinion:

(i)
the statement of financial position and profit and loss account together with the notes thereon have been drawn up in conformity
with the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 (LVII of 1962), and the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984), and are in
agreement with the books of accounts and are further in accordance with accounting policies consistently applied;
(ii) the expenditure incurred during the year was for the purpose of the Bank's business; and
(iii) the business conducted, investments made and the expenditure incurred during the year were in accordance with the objects
of the Bank and the transactions of the Bank which have come to our notice have been within the powers of the Bank;
(c)

in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the statement of financial position,
profit and loss account, statement of comprehensive income, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity together with
the notes forming part thereof conform with the approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan, and give the information
required by the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 (LVII of 1962), and the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984), in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view of the state of the Bank's affairs as at December 31, 2014, and its true balance of
profit, its comprehensive income, its cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended; and

(d) in our opinion Zakat deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980) was deducted by the Bank and
deposited in the Central Zakat Fund established under section 7 of that Ordinance.
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2013 were audited by another firm of Chartered Accountants who
had expressed an unqualified opinion thereon vide their report dated February 19, 2014.

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 amendments may
impact the financial statements of the Bank by the addition of certain disclosures.
There are certain new and amended standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Bank's accounting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2015 but are considered not to be relevant or do not have any significant effect on the Bank's operations and,
therefore, not detailed in these financial statements.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

4.1

Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except that certain fixed assets are stated at
revalued amounts, certain investments and commitments in respect of certain forward exchange contracts have been marked to
market and are carried at fair value and staff retirement benefits are carried at present value.

4.2

Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Pakistani Rupee which is the currency of primary economic environment in which the
Bank operates.

4.3

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan requires the
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income
and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgement in application of its accounting policies. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if
the revision affects both current and future periods.

4.4

Significant accounting estimates and areas where judgements were made by the management in the application of accounting
policies are as follows:
i) classification and provisioning against investments (notes 5.3 and 9);
ii) classification and provisioning against loans and advances (notes 5.4 and 10);
iii)income taxes and deferred taxation (notes 5.9, 21.9.1 and 29);
iv)accounting for defined benefit plan (notes 5.11 and 33);
v) depreciation, amortisation methods, useful lives and revaluation of operating fixed assets (notes 5.5 and 11); and
vi)fair value of derivatives (note 5.19.2).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise disclosed or specified.

5.1

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement represent cash and balances with treasury banks and balances
with other banks in current and deposit accounts.

5.2

Lendings to / borrowings from financial and other institutions

The Bank enters into repurchase agreements (repo) and reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repo) at contracted rates for a
specified period of time. These are recorded as under:
(a) Sale under repurchase agreements
Securities sold subject to a repurchase agreement (repo) are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter
party liability is included in borrowings. The differential in sale and repurchase value is accrued over the period of the contract and
recorded as an expense.
(b) Purchase under resale agreements
Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) are included in lendings to financial institutions. The underlying
security is not recognised as a separate asset in the financial statements. The difference between the contracted price and resale
price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as income.

64

Soneri Bank Limited

(c) Lending under margin trading system
Securities purchased under margin financing are recorded as "lendings to financial and other institutions" at the fair value of the
consideration given. All margin financing transactions are accounted for on the transaction date. Income on margin financing is
accrued over the period of the contract.
(d) Borrowings
These are recorded at the proceeds received. Mark-up on such borrowings is charged on time a proportion basis to the profit and
loss account over the period of borrowings.

5.3

Investments
The Bank classifies its investments as follows:
(a) Held for trading
These represent securities, which are either acquired for the purpose of generating profit from short-term fluctuations in prices or
dealers margin or are securities included in the portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit making exists.
(b) Held to maturity
These are securities with fixed or determinable payments and maturity, which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold till
maturity.
(c) Available for sale
These are investments, other than those in subsidiaries and associates, if any, that do not fall under the held for trading or held to
maturity categories.
Investments other than those categorised as held for trading are initially recognised at fair value which includes transaction costs
associated with the investment. Investments classified as held for trading are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs
are expensed in the profit and loss account.
All purchases and sales of investments that require delivery within the time frame established by regulations or market conventions
are recognised at the trade date. Trade date is the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the investment.
Premium or discount on acquisition of investments is amortised through the profit and loss account over the remaining period till
maturity using effective interest method.
In accordance with the requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan, quoted securities other than those classified as 'held to maturity'
are subsequently re-measured to market value. Surplus / (deficit) arising on revaluation of quoted securities classified as 'available
for sale', is taken to a separate account shown in the Statement of Financial Position below equity. Surplus / (deficit) arising on
revaluation of quoted securities which are classified as 'held for trading', is taken to the profit and loss account. Cost of investment
is determined on a weighted average basis.
In accordance with the BSD circular No. 14 dated 24 September 2004 issued by the State Bank of Pakistan, investments classified
as 'held to maturity' are carried at amortised cost less impairment, if any.
Unquoted equity securities excluding investments in subsidiaries and associates are valued at the lower of cost and break-up value.
Break-up value of unquoted equity securities is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per the latest
available audited financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries and associates if any (which qualify for accounting under
International Accounting Standard - 28) are carried at cost less impairment, if any.
Impairment loss in respect of investments categorised as available for sale (except term finance certificates) and held to maturity
is recognised based on management's assessment of objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that may
have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the investments. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a listed
equity investment below its cost is also considered an objective evidence of impairment. Provision for diminution in the value of term
finance certificates is made as per the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. In case of impairment of
available for sale securities, the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in surplus / deficit on revaluation of securities on
the statement of financial position below equity is removed therefrom and recognised in the profit and loss account. For investments
classified as held to maturity, the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Profit / loss on sale of investments is credited / charged to the profit and loss account.

Annual Report 2014

65

Advances
Advances are stated net of specific and general provisions. Specific provision for advances are made in accordance with the
requirements of the Prudential Regulations and other directives issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account.
General provision against consumer and small enterprises financings portfolio is maintained as per the requirements of the Prudential
Regulations issued by the State Bank of Pakistan. Advances are written off when there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
Murabaha financings are reflected as receivables at the invoiced amount. Actual sales and purchases are not reflected, as the goods
are purchased by the customer as agent of the Bank and all documents relating to purchase are in customer name. However, the
profit on that sale revenue not due for payment is deferred by recording a credit to the "Deferred Murabaha Income" account. Funds
disbursed under Murabaha financing arrangements for purchase of goods are recorded as "Advance Against Murabaha".
Salam financings are reflected as receivables at the invoiced amount. Profit not due for payment is deferred by recording a credit
to the "Deferred Salam Income" account. Funds disbursed under Salam financing arrangements for purchase of goods are recorded
as "Advance Against Salam".
In Diminishing Musharaka based financing, the Bank enters into a Musharaka based on Shirkat-ul-Milk for financing an agreed share
of fixed asset (e.g. house, land, plant or machinery) with its customers and enters into periodic profit payment agreement for the
utilization of the Bank's Musharaka share by the customer.

5.5

Operating fixed assets and depreciation

Owned
Property and equipment, other than freehold land, leasehold land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost or revalued amount
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold / leasehold land and capital work-in-progress are stated at
cost or revalued amount less impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation on all operating fixed assets is charged using the straight line method in accordance with the rates specified in note
11.2 to the financial statements after taking into account residual value, if any. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed
and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Lands and buildings are revalued by professionally qualified valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the net carrying amount
does not differ materially from their fair value.
Surplus arising on revaluation is credited to the surplus on revaluation of fixed assets account. Deficit arising on subsequent revaluation
of fixed assets is adjusted against the balance in the above mentioned surplus account as allowed under the provisions of the
Companies Ordinance, 1984. The surplus on revaluation of fixed assets to the extent of incremental depreciation charged on the
related assets is transferred to unappropriated profit.
Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use while in the case of assets disposed off, it is
charged up to the month of disposal.
Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to income as and when incurred. Renewals and improvements are included in an
asset's carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Gains and losses on sale of fixed assets are charged / credited to the profit and loss account currently, except that the related surplus
on revaluation of fixed assets (net of deferred taxation) is transferred directly to unappropriated profit.
Leased (under finance lease)
Assets held under finance lease, if any, are stated at lower of fair value or present value of minimum lease payments at inception
less accumulated depreciation. The outstanding obligations under the lease agreements are shown as a liability net of finance
charges allocable to future periods.
The finance charges are allocated to accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the
outstanding liability.
Depreciation on assets held under finance lease is charged in a manner consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned
by the Bank.
Leased (ijarah)
Assets leased out under 'Ijarah' are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Assets under ijarah
are depreciated over the period of lease term. However, in the event the asset is expected to be available for re-ijarah, depreciation
is charged over the economic life of the asset using straight line basis.
Ijarah income is recognised in income on accrual basis as and when the rental becomes due.

66
5.6

Soneri Bank Limited

Operating leases
Lease payments, if any, under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

5.7

Intangible assets
Intangible assets having a finite useful life are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Intangible
assets are amortised from the month, when these assets are available for use, using the straight line method, whereby the cost of
the intangible asset is amortised on the basis of the estimated useful life over which economic benefits are expected to flow to the
Bank. The residual values, useful lives and amortisation method is reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

5.8

Impairment
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment
of any asset or group of assets. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment
losses are recognised immediately in the financial statements. The resulting impairment loss is taken to the profit and loss account
except for impairment loss on revalued assets, which is adjusted against related revaluation surplus to the extent that the impairment
loss does not exceed the surplus on revaluation of that asset.

5.9

Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on the taxable income at the current rates of taxation after taking into account available tax
credit and rebates. The charge for current tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary relating to prior years, which
arises from assessments / developments made during the year.
Deferred
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is calculated at
the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
asset can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
The Bank also recognises deferred tax asset / liability on deficit / surplus on revaluation of fixed assets and securities which is
adjusted against the related deficit / surplus in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12,
'Income Taxes'.

5.10 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
5.11 Staff retirement benefits
Defined benefit plan
The Bank operates an approved funded gratuity scheme for its permanent employees. The liability recognised in the statement of
financial position in respect of defined benefit gratuity scheme, is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement
of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets. Contributions to the fund are made on the basis of actuarial recommendations.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated periodically by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Last
valuation was conducted as on 31 December 2014.
Amounts arising as a result of "Remeasurements", representing the actuarial gains and losses and the difference between the actual
investment returns and the return implied by the net interest cost are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position immediately,
with a charge or credit to "Other Comprehensive Income" in the periods in which they occur.
Gratuity is payable to staff on completion of the prescribed qualifying period of service under the scheme.
5.12 Defined contribution plan
The Bank operates an approved funded provident fund scheme for all its permanent employees. Equal monthly contributions are
made, both by the Bank and its employees, to the fund at the rate of 8.33% of basic salaries of the employees.

21.9.1Taxation
(a)

For the tax year 2011, the Bank had filed return under self assessment scheme as envisaged in section 120 of the Income
Tax Ordinance, 2001. The income tax department has amended the assessment of tax year 2011 under section 122(5A) of
the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. The amended assessment order has been passed by adding / disallowing certain expenses
/ deductions resulting in additional tax liability of Rs. 313.383 million.
The Bank has filed appeal before the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) against these disallowances and deductions.

Annual Report 2014

85

(b)

The Tax Authorities have passed the orders for tax years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 levying Federal Excise Duty on certain
items. The aggregate net amount involved is Rs 64.22 million which the Bank is contesting and the appeals are pending before
the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR).

(c)

The tax department has filed tax references before honourable Lahore High Court, Lahore in respect of certain deductions
allowed by the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) for assessment year 2000-2001 to tax year 2010.
The tax advisor of the Bank is of the view that the above issues will ultimately be decided in Bank's favour. Therefore no
additional provision has been made against the aforementioned matters in these financial statements.

21.9.2 Claims against the Bank not acknowledged as debts amounted to Rs. 2.4 million (2013: Rs. 2.4 million).

21.9.3 A penalty of Rs. 50 million has been imposed by Competition Commission of Pakistan ("the Commission") on the Bank on account
of uncompetitive behaviour and imposing uniform cost on cash withdrawal from ATM transaction. The Bank alongwith other with
other Banks had filed a constitutional petition before the Competition Appellate Tribunal which has set aside the order of the
Commission. Against the said order of the Competition Appellate Tribunal, the Commission has filed an appeal before the Supreme
Court of Pakistan, the hearing of which is pending.
21.9.4 Through the Finance Act, 2008 an amendment was made in the Employees Old Age Benefits Act, 1976 whereby the exemption
available to banks and their employees was withdrawn by omission of clause (e) of Section 47 of the said Act and banks and their
employees were made liable for contribution to Employee Old Age Benefit Institution (EOBI). The Lahore High Court subsequently
nullified the amendments made through the Finance Act, 2008.
As a result several other banks also filed the Constitutional Petition before the Sindh High Court. The Sindh High Courts decision
was in favor of the banks. As a result of the decision of the Lahore & Sindh High Courts, the Bank stopped EOBI contribution w.e.f.
February 2012. An appeal was subsequently filed by the EOBI in the Supreme Court of Pakistan which is currently pending.
In case of any adverse decision by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, a contribution of Rs.42.03 million upto 31 December 2014 will
become payable by the Bank to EOBI. The said amount of Rs.42.03 million has not been provided in these financial statements as
the legal advisor of the Bank is fully confident that the case will be decided in Bank's favor.

During 2012, the Bank revised its compensated absences plan such that going forward the outstanding leaves balances shall expire
at the end of each financial year. Moreover the management introduced a scheme to settle the previous outstanding leaves against

33.10 Actual return on plan assets during the year amounted to Rs. 52.376 million (2013: Rs 26.771 million).
The Gratuity scheme exposes the entity to the following risks:
Mortality risks
This is the risk that the actual mortality experience may be different. The effect depends on the beneficiaries service / age distribution
and the benefit.
Investment risks
This is the risk of the investment under performing and not being sufficient to meet the liabilities.
Final salary risks
This is the risk that the final salary at the time of cessation of service is higher than what was assumed. Since the benefit is calculated
on the final salary, the benefit amount increases similarly.
Withdrawal risks
This is the risk of higher or lower withdrawal experience than assumed. The final effect could go either way depending on the
beneficiaries service / age distribution and the benefit.

as when calculating the gratuity liability recognised within the statement of financial position.

F AIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

36.1

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in an
arm's length transaction.
The fair value of traded investments is based on quoted market prices, except for tradable securities classified by banks as 'held
to maturity'. These securities are being carried at amortised cost in order to comply with the requirements of BSD Circular No.14
dated 24 September 2004.
The fair value of unquoted equity investments is determined on the basis of break up value of these investments as per the latest
available audited financial statements.
Fair value of fixed term loans, other assets, other liabilities and fixed term deposits cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability
due to absence of current and active market for such assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar
instruments. The provision for impairment of loans and advances has been calculated in accordance with the Bank's accounting
policy as stated in note 5.4 to these financial statements.
The repricing profile, effective rates and maturity are stated in note 41 to these financial statements.
In the opinion of the management, the fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from
their carrying values since assets and liabilities are either short-term in nature or, in the case of customer loans and deposits, are
frequently repriced.

CAPIT AL ADEQUACY

40.1 Capital Management

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has introduced new guidelines with respect to disclosure of capital adequacy related information
in the financial statements of banks vide its communication dated 4 February 2014. These guidelines are based on the requirements
of Basel III which were introduced earlier by the SBP in August 2013 for implementation by the banks in Pakistan. The SBP has
specified a transitional period till 2018 for implementation of Basel III. During the year, the SBP vide its BPRD Circular No. 11 of
2014 dated 5 November 2014 has revised the disclosure requirements with respect to capital adequacy related information. The
disclosures below have been prepared on the basis of the SBP's circular. The comparative information has been restated to facilitate
comparison.

Annual Report 2014

95

The objective of managing capital is to safeguard the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it could continue to
provide adequate returns to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurating with the level of risk. It is the policy of
the Bank to maintain adequate capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future
development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders return is also recognised and the Bank recognises
the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and
security afforded by a sound capital position.
Goals of managing capital
The goals of capital management are as follows:
- To be an appropriately capitalised institution, as defined by regulatory authorities and in accordance with risk profile;
- Maintain strong ratings and protect the Bank against unexpected events;
- Ensure availability of adequate capital (including the quantum) at a reasonable cost so as to enable the Bank to expand; and
achieve low overall cost of capital with appropriate mix of capital elements.
Statutory minimum capital requirement and management of capital
The State Bank of Pakistan requires all banks to have minimum paid up capital (net of losses) of Rs. 10 billion. The paid up capital
of the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2014 stood at Rs. 11,024.636 million. In addition banks are also required to maintain
a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 10 percent of the risk weighted exposure of the Bank as at 31 December 2014. The
Banks CAR as at 31 December 2014 was approximately 12.50 percent of its risk weighted exposure.
The capital of the Bank is managed keeping in view the minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio required by the SBP through BPRD
Circular No. 06: dated 15 August 2013. The adequacy of the capital is measured with reference to the risk-weighted assets of the
Bank.
The required capital adequacy ratio is achieved by the Bank through improvement in the asset quality, ensuring better recovery
management and striking balance with low risk assets. Banking operations are categorised as either trading book or banking book
and risk-weighted assets are determined according to specified requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan that seek to reflect the
varying levels of risk attached to assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The total risk-weighted exposures comprise the credit
risk, market risk and operational risk.
For the purpose of calculating capital under the capital adequacy framework, the capital of the bank is classified in two tiers as per
the Basel III framework. The total regulatory capital consists of the sum of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital includes
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) and Additional Tier 1 Capital (AT1). CET1 of the bank includes the sum of fully paid up capital, balance
in share premium, reserves for issuance of bonus share, general/statutory reserves as disclosed in the balance sheet, un-appropriated
profit, less regulatory adjustments. The Bank's common shares are perpetual in nature and have the last subordination in case of
liquidation.
AT1 capital includes Instruments issued by the banks that meet the qualifying criteria for AT1, Share premium resulting from
the issuance of AT1 instruments less regulatory adjustments applicable on AT1 Capital. The Bank has not allocated any AT1
capital.
Tier 2 Capital includes Subordinated debt / Instruments, Share premium resulting from the issue of instruments included in Tier 2,
Revaluation Reserves (net of deficits, if any), General Provisions or General Reserves for loan losses, Foreign Exchange Translation
Reserves, Undisclosed Reserves less regulatory adjustments applicable on Tier-2 capital. The bank has not issued any subordinated
debt / instruments, therefore its Tier 2 capital comprises of revaluation reserve (upto a maximum of 56% net of taxes of the balance
in the related revaluation reserve) and general provisions for loan losses.
The calculation of capital adequacy enables the Bank to assess its long-term soundness. As the Bank carries on the business on
a wide area network basis, it is critical that it is able to continuously monitor the exposure across the entire organisation and aggregate
the risks so as to take an integrated approach / view. There has been no material change in the Banks management of capital during
the period.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The primary goal of risk management is to identify, assess and monitor risks inherent in the activities of the Bank and take adequate
measures to manage and control these risks on a timely basis. This will help in achieving sustainable business growth and financial
and non-financial targets with better protection and soundness. The Banks aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk
and return and minimise potential adverse effects on the Banks financial performance.
The Bank's risk management framework encompasses the culture, processes and structure and is directed towards the effective
management of potential opportunities and threats to the Bank. The prime objective of the Bank's risk management strategy is to
abandon the traditional approach of 'managing risk by silos' and to put in place integrated risk and economic capital management
capabilities that will enable the Bank to achieve integrated view of risks across its various business operations and to gain strategic
advantage from its risk management capabilities.

41.1 Credit Risk

Credit risk is a risk arising from the potential that an obligor is either unwilling to perform on an obligation or its ability to perform is
impaired resulting in financial loss to the Bank. Credit risk arises from all lending and investing activities i.e. transactions that give
rise to actual, contingent or potential claims against any counterparty, borrower or obligor.
Credit Risk Management Objectives and Organization
Lending of money is the core business activity, a major source of revenue and a significant exposure for the Bank. All lending is
mainly funded from depositors' money. Therefore, in order to protect the stakeholders' wealth, the Bank has deployed considerable
resources and adequate controls to manage, monitor and control credit risk throughout the Bank.
The main objective of the credit risk management process is to identify, assess, measure and monitor credit risk in all the financial
exposures of the Bank. The Bank has established a rigorous credit risk management framework to timely and effectively manage
credit risk in each and every credit transaction as well as at portfolio level. In addition to this, the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
solution of SAS provides adequate grounds in making better credit decisions, measured risk-taking, better loan pricing and efficient
capital allocation thereagainst thus resulting in efficient and effective use of funds and increase in profitability of the Bank.
The Bank has a sound organisation structure for managing credit risk, established on strong internal control environment and
equipped with adequate level of expertise and resources.

Credit Approval Authorities and Credit Standards

The Board of Directors has delegated lending powers to different tiers of credit approving authorities, constituted at central and
regional levels. Extension of credit is executed, in strong internal control environment, in the light of the Bank's credit policy and
procedures and regulatory requirements.
Credit Portfolio Management
Besides managing credit risk at transaction level, the Bank regularly monitors credit risk at portfolio level and ensures that no undue
concentration of risk is present in the overall credit exposure at Bank level. The Bank has a well established and rigorous management
information set-up which allows efficient and effective assessment, monitoring and management of its credit risk profile in various
dimensions.
Credit Risk Rating
The Credit risk Rating System provides solid grounds for the assessment and measurement of credit risk against each obligor in
addition to fulfilling regulatory requirements. The Bank revised and updated Obligor Risk Rating (ORR) systems for Corporate, Small
Enterprises & Medium Enterprises, Consumer Finance and Agriculture Finance obligors which has also been approved for
implementation on a bank wide basis in Year 2015. The Bank also has BOD approved Facility Risk Rating System (FRR) for its
borrowers.
ORR assigns risk grades to customers, in accordance with the regulatory requirement, in twelve (12) grades, out of which top nine
(9) grades refer to regular customers whereas remaining three (3) grades pertain to defaulted ones. Whereas, FRR assigns each
loan facility in six (6) categories, in accordance with regulatory requirements. Business Units assign credit risk rating to every customer
and loan facility as an integral part of the Bank's credit approval process.

Credit Risk Management Policy

A sound credit risk management framework forms part of the overall business strategy and credit operations of the Bank. The
principles for credit risk management have been laid down in the Bank's credit policy, credit manual, and credit risk procedural
manual. The policy has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan and is reviewed and
updated (where required) on periodic basis.
Credit Risk Assessment
The Bank has a well established and rigorous pre-approval evaluation process of credit risk embedded in each credit transaction
executed by the Business Units. The entire process broadly encompasses, gathering relevant information on the borrower, credit
investigations and visits, detailed credit appraisal, and credit risk assessment and measurement.
Credit Risk Limit Structure
In addition to monitoring credit limits specified in the Prudential Regulations of the State Bank of Pakistan, credit limit structure of
the Bank includes internal limits as established by the senior management and the BOD. Internal limits include limits with respect
to BOD approved risk appetite, industry / sector, credit approval authority, exposure with banks and NBFIs, exposure with insurance
companies, and foreign countries. All these limits are monitored on regular basis and any exceptions are reported to the relevant
authorities for their timely action where necessary.
Collateral
Collateral act as mitigants in case of default by the borrower. Therefore, most of the facilities extended by the Bank are backed by
appropriate and quality collaterals. Similarly lending to financial institutions and DFIs are backed by securities viz., Treasury Bills
and Pakistan Investment Bonds. Clean facilities are provided, under strict control environment, only to the extent permissible under
the Prudential Regulations of the State Bank of Pakistan. The credit manual of the Bank contains list of approved collaterals that
the Bank can take and internal control standards for the management of collaterals obtained against credit facilities.
Early Warning System
The Bank has an effective early warning system which enables the Business Units / credit managers / credit administration personnel
to identify and report problem loans on a prompt basis. Reports are received from Business Units on regular basis, which are
escalated to the concerned authority for necessary action on timely basis.
Remedial Management and Allowances for Impairment
The Bank has standards for identification and classification of credit facilities, restructuring as well as related provisioning requirements
and write-off policy, with clear responsibilities pertaining to all processes that are required to be followed.
Loans that have become uncollectible are required to be referred to Special Asset Management (SAM) Division which initiates
recovery proceedings against the borrowers in accordance with the applicable laws.

Credit Risk General Disclosures, Basel III Specific

The Bank has adopted Standardized Approach of the Basel II accord. According to the regulatory statement submitted under
the Standardized Approach, the portfolio has been divided into claims fully secured by residential property, claims on corporate
(excluding equity exposure) and claims categorized as retail portfolio. Claims on corporate constitute 83% of the total exposure,
2% represents claims fully secured by residential property and the remaining 15% exposure pertains to claims categorized as
retail portfolio.

41.3

Credit Risk: Standardized Approach

Currently the Bank does not have any policy whereby customers have to be rated by a rating agency. Therefore, the Bank uses
unsolicited / solicited ratings of JCR-VIS, PACRA and other foreign agencies approved by SBP, wherever applicable.
Following are the types of exposure for which each agency is used:

Exposure
Corporate
Banks
Sovereigns
SMEs
Securitizations

JCR-VIS

PACRA

Fitch, Moody's & SNP

Most of the Bank's asset base is short or medium term. Therefore, the Bank uses the entity's rating to assess the risk of exposure
without any adjustments.
For exposure amounts subject to the standardized approach, amount of Bank's outstanding (rated & unrated ) in each risk bucket
after risk mitigations are as follows:

The Bank has adopted the comprehensive approach to credit risk mitigation under Basel III and therefore has applied haircuts
to the collateral. Moreover all eligible collaterals that includes cash/liquid securities have been taken into account with respect
to credit risk mitigation.
41.4

Market Risk

41.4.1

Market risk is the risk that the Bank's earnings or capital, or its ability to meet business objectives, will be adversely affected by
changes in the level or volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and foreign
exchange rates. The Bank is exposed to market risk primarily through its trading activities which include equity, fixed income and
foreign exchange related transitions. Market risk also arises from facilitation of client business and exposure held against shares
and other marketable securities i.e. financing against pledge share, MTS, etc.
Market Risk Management Objective and Organisation
The main objective of the market risk management is to minimise losses in the financial exposures of the Bank and to facilitate
business growth within a controlled environment.
The Bank has established a rigorous market risk management framework to efficiently and effectively monitor and manage market
risk in every transaction as well as at portfolio level. The Bank has made substantial investment to add value to its market risk
management framework by purchasing the license of Market Risk Management System (MRMS), part of Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) solution, of SAS. The said solution will provide adequate analysis to facilitate better investment decisions,
measured risk-taking and efficient capital allocation thereagainst; thus, leading to efficient and effective use of funds.
The Bank has a sound organisation structure for managing market risk, established on strong internal control environment and
equipped with adequate level of expertise and resources. The Risk Management Committee (RMC), a BOD level sub-committee,
is primarily responsible to monitor and manage market risk in all the financial exposures of the Bank, supported by the Risk
Management Division and a senior management risk committee namely Market Risk Management Committee (MRMC).

Market Risk Monitoring
Besides monitoring regulatory limits, the Bank has a well established structure of internal limits with respect to its treasury and
investment operations. The Treasury Middle Office (TMO), within the Market Risk Management Department, monitors each and
every transaction executed through treasury, monitor risk limits, report breaches, off market rates, tolerance PV01 limits and
asses market risk in money market transactions, investments in equity securities and foreign exchange transactions. In order to
mitigate unnecessary risk and ensure minimum business losses, Earmarking Policy has also been implemented to ensure risk
migration from high risk to low risk transactions. The MRMC in 2014 approved rate reason abilities ranges for FX interbank
transactions and the TMO now computes interbank FX transaction's variations against benchmark rates derived from SBP
revaluation rates. These are compared against the MRMC approved ranges and the results are reported to MRMC.
Portfolio Analysis and Management
Besides managing market risk at transaction level, the Bank regularly monitors market risk at portfolio level and ensures that
no undue concentration of risk and adverse correlation is present in the overall financial exposures at the Bank level. The Bank
has a well established management information set-up which allows efficient and effective assessment, monitoring and management
of its market risk profile in various dimensions.
Marking-to-Market
The Bank is marking-to-market (MTM) its investment in tradable securities, i.e., equity securities, debt securities and foreign
exchange ready and forward transactions, on a regular basis. The same is independently reviewed by the Risk Management
Division.
Market Risk Assessment and Measurement
The Bank is assessing and measuring market risk in all of its financial exposures using various types of measurement and
analytical tools like Value at Risk (VaR), duration and convexity, performance ratios, interest rate gap and duration gap. The Bank
is using Standardized Approach of the Basel III accord, for exposures in its trading book and derivative financial instruments, to
calculate market risk capital charge and risk weighted asset for Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) calculation purposes.
The Bank's principle market risk measurement methodology are VAR and stress testing. Historical financial market rates, prices
and volatility serve as the basis for the statistical VAR model underlying the potential loss estimation. The Bank uses ten days
holding period and the confidence level of 99% to model the risk in our different portfolios. The main assumptions and scenarios
of our stress analysis includes:
[Link] shift in yield curve by 2%, 3% and 4%.
2. Change in the slope of yield curve by changing short-term, medium-term and long-term maturities by different rates.
[Link] or reward depending on net long or net short position in foreign currency exposure.
[Link] in general equity price upto 50%.

41.4.2

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk is the probability of loss resulting from adverse movements in exchange rates. Exchange position arising
from trading activities is monitored through foreign exchange limits on aggregate and individual currency basis. Hedging strategies
and mark-to-market valuations are used to mitigate exchange risk resulting from open positions. Overall exchange position risk
is maintained in accordance with the regulatory requirements prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan.

Equity Position Risk

The Bank invests in blue chip securities depending up on market mispricing. Further, the risk arising from investments in equity
securities lies in both its banking and trading books which is measured and assessed using the Value at Risk (VaR) approach.
The VaR of the portfolio is reported to the BRMC, MRMC and other authorities on a periodical basis.

41.4.4

Mismatch of Interest Rate Sensitive Assets and Liabilities

Yield risk is the risk of decline in earnings due to adverse movement of the yield curve. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value
of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Bank is exposed to yield / interest rate risk as
a result of mismatches or gaps in the amounts of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments that mature or re-price
in a given period. The Bank manages this risk by matching the re-pricing of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments.
The Bank's yield / interest rate sensitivity position for on-balance sheet instruments is based on the earlier of contractual re-pricing
or maturity date and for off-balance sheet instruments is based on settlement date. The Bank quantifies the yield curve risk via
duration, PVBP and convexity for rate sensitive assets and liabilities held in banking and trading book. The bank also measure
impact on net worth depending on duration gap of rate sensitive assets and liabilities.

Soneri Bank Limited

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its obligations when they fall due with consequent failure to repay depositors
and fulfil commitments to lend. The risk that the Bank will be unable to do so is inherent in all of its banking operations and can
be impacted by a range of institution specific and market-wide events including, but not limited to, credit events, merger and
acquisition activity, systemic shocks and natural disasters.
Liquidity Management
Day to day funding, is managed by Treasury Division through net cash flows from payment systems, fresh deposits mobilised
by branches, maturing money market deposits, etc.
The Bank maintains a portfolio of highly marketable assets viz., Market Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds, that can
either be sold in the open market or funds can be arranged thereagainst under repo arrangements. This is further supported by
investments in short term securities viz., Certificate of Investments etc. In line with its liquidity risk management policy, the Bank
maintains a cushion over and above the minimum statutory liquidity requirement of the SBP, for maintaining liquidity reserves,
to ensure continuity of cash flows.
Liquidity Risk Monitoring
The Bank monitors its liquidity risk through various liquidity ratios and liquidity risk indicators and any deviations and breaches
are reported to the concerned authorities for timely action. Moreover, Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), a
senior management committee, also reviews the liquidity position of the Bank on at least monthly basis and takes appropriate
measures where required.
Liquidity Risk Assessment
The Bank uses liquidity gap ladder to assess the liquidity gaps and liquidity needs in different time buckets, under normal and
stressed scenarios. Whereas, the Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) of the Bank is also tested on the basis of the results of liquidity
stress testing.
Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed / monitored by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) on a periodic basis. The
ALCO reviews the current economic situation, projected cash flows and asset / liability mix and approves strategy for managing
appropriate liquidity. The liquidity risk management policy of the Bank encompasses liquidity contingency plan for actions to be
taken in case of liquidity crises.
Stress testing exercise is conducted, on a periodic basis, to test the adequacy of liquidity contingency plan and to identify the
extent of liquidity stress that the Bank is able to take in current conditions.
Our liquidity management framework allows us to run stress analysis on our balance sheet and off-balance positions, which
include, but are not limited to, the following:
[Link] withdrawal from corporate clients deposits.
[Link] of top ten, top fifteen, and top twenty deposits.
[Link] in the funding value of unencumbered assets.
[Link] of secure lending is subject to significant over collateralisation.

The management believes that above maturity analysis does not reveal the expected maturity of saving deposits as a contractual
maturity analysis of deposits alone does not provide information about the conditions expected in normal circumstances. The
management believes that the maturity profile disclosed in note 41.5.1 that includes maturities of saving deposits determined by
the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) keeping in view historical withdrawal pattern of these deposits reflects a
more meaningful analysis of the liquidity risk of the Bank.

41.6 Operational Risk

"Operational risk 'OpRisk' is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems
or external events. This includes legal risk as well as the reputational consequences of failures in operational risk management".
The Bank uses Basic Indicator approach for assessing capital charge for operational risk.
Operational Risk Management Objective and Organisation
The main objective of the operational risk management is to minimise expected and unexpected losses arising out of operational
activities of the Bank.
The Bank has established a rigorous operational risk management framework to efficiently and effectively monitor and manage
operational risk in each business and support activity of the Bank as well as those arising from external events like from natural
disasters, outsourcing etc. The Bank has made substantial investments to add value to its operational risk management framework
by purchasing the license of OpRisk Monitor, part of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solution, of SAS. OpRisk monitor is providing
a solid forum for efficient and effective management and monitoring of operational risks across the Bank.
The Bank has a sound organisation structure for managing operational risk, established on strong internal control environment and
equipped with adequate level of expertise and resources. The Risk Management Committee (RMC), a BoD level sub-committee,
is primarily responsible to ensure the compliance of the BoD approved operational risk management framework, supported by the
Risk Management Division (RMD).
Operational Risk Assessment
The Bank has been conducting risk and control self assessment (RCSA) exercise for each business and support function of the
bank in order to identify and assess operational risks inherent in existing activities, processes and systems. Through the RCSA
exercise, the Bank has been able to develop inventory of risks, controls and key risk indicators (KRI) and has identified gaps in its
operating activities which are rectified on a priority basis.
Operational Risk Monitoring
Operational risk monitoring is conducted through KRIs, identified in the RCSA exercise for each process. SAS OpRisk monitor is
being used for KRI monitoring purposes while all branches, offices, divisions/departments report KRI reports on periodical basis to
the Operational Risk Management Department (within the Risk Management Division).
Operational Risk Measurement
The Bank keeps a detailed track of its operational loss events and maintains a database in SAS OpRisk Monitor with respect to
the same which will help the Bank to step towards advanced approach of Basel II accord and also allows the Bank to formulate
strategy to rectify the gap to avoid the incident from happening again. A set-up has been created whereby departments and branches
across the country are reporting loss events to the RMD. The Bank also gathers external loss events occurring in the banking industry
and designs strategies to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Operational Risk Assessment for New Products and Services
Operational risk in all new products, systems and processes are identified and assessed by the RMD so that risk associated can
be mitigated to an acceptable level. Assessment comprises of:
- Review of new process flows and their control activities;
- Conduct RCSA exercise; and
- Identification, adequate assessment and ranking of all risks and controls.
Business Continuity Plan
In order to ensure continuity of the Bank's operations, the Bank has in place a well developed, BoD approved Business Continuity
Plan (BCP) which has been implemented across the Bank. The BCP has been well communicated down the line and trainings and
testing have been conducted across the country. Permanent back up sites have also been established and related testing has been
carried out to relocate the critical staff on their designated back up sites. The BCP Steering Committee, a senior management
committee, is responsible to ensure the adequacy of the BCP of the Bank as well as to ensure its effective implementation and
compliance. The committee reports to the Board Risk Management Committee.
Transaction Risk Monitoring
Operational Risk Management Department (ORMD) performs transactions risk monitoring activity on Soneri Bank Visa Debit Cards
with a help of system generated reports provided by ADC on a different set of parameters designed by RMD. ORMD highlights and
identify fraudulent transactions and abnormal usage upon Debit cards and take necessary actions to mitigate exposure & safeguard
the Bank from possible financial as well as reputational losses.

Deposits
Deposits are generated on the basis of two modes i.e. Qard and Mudaraba.
Deposits taken on Qard basis are classified as 'Current accounts' and Deposits generated on 'Mudaraba basis' are classified
as 'Savings deposits' and 'Fixed deposits'. No profit or loss is passed on to current account depositors. While the product features
of each product differ, there is usually no restriction on withdrawals or number of transactions in current and saving accounts.
In case of fixed deposits, pre-mature withdrawals can be made as per approved terms only.
Profits realised in common pool are distributed between the Bank and the depositors in proportion to their respective share in
the pool. All Mudaraba based deposits are fully invested in the Common Pool to produce returns for them. In case where the
Bank is unable to utilise all funds available for investment, priority is given to the deposit account holders. Rab-ul-Maal share is
distributed among depositors according to weightages assigned at the inception of profit calculation period. Mudarib can distribute
its share of profit to Rab-ul-Maal upto a maximum of 60% of their profit as incentive profits (Hiba).
Profits are distributed from the pool such that the depositors (remunerative) only bear the risk of assets in the pool during the
profit calculation period. In case of loss in a pool during the profit calculation period, the loss is distributed among the depositors
(remunerative) according to their ratio of investments.

(viii)

Profit / (loss) distribution to depositor's pool

The Bank maintained the following pools for profit declaration and distribution during the year ended 31 December 2014:
i) Mudaraba Pool;
ii) Musharaka Pool under SBP's Islamic Export Refinance Scheme.
The deposits and funds accepted under the Mudaraba Pool are provided to diversified sectors and avenues of the economy /
business mainly to ' Chemical and Pharmaceutical', 'Textile & Allied', 'Food & Allied', 'Automobile and transportation', Shoes and
Leather', 'Electronics and electrical appliances', 'Financial' and 'Investment in Government of Pakistan Ijara Sukuk'.

SHARIAH ADVISORS REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
The year under review was the tenth year of Soneri Bank Limited, Islamic Banking.
1)

While the management of Soneri Bank limited is solely responsible to ensure that the operations of the Bank are conducted
in a manner that comply with Shari'ah principles at all times, we are required to submit a report based on review of the overall Shari'ah
compliance environment conducted by the Bank's Shari'ah Compliance Department .

2)

To form our opinion as expressed in this report, the Shari'ah Compliance Department carried out reviews, on test check basis, of
each class of transactions, the relevant documentation and process flows etc. Further, based on above, we are of the view that:
i.

The Soneri Bank limited has complied with Shari'ah rules and principles and also with the specific fatawa, rulings, guidelines
issued by SBP and by Shariah Advisor from time to time.

ii.

The Bank has a mechanism in place to ensure Shari'ah compliance in their overall operations.

iii.

The Bank has a system in place which is sound enough to ensure that any earnings realized from sources or by means
prohibited by Shari'ah have been credited to charity account and are being properly utilized.

iv.

The Bank has complied with the SBP instructions on profit and loss distribution and pool management.

v.

Islamic Banking awareness programs were organized for understanding of the Islamic Banking concepts and products. However,
due to staff movement from conventional to Islamic and Islamic to conventional branches, this focus on training and development
needs to be carried on continuous basis. The staffs of Islamic Banking branches are also provided knowledge of products and
Shariah aspects through lectures and materials. Moreover, staff members of Islamic Banking branches are nominated to
participate in workshops and courses conducted on Islamic Banking by various organizations under supervision of SBP and
by private institutions.

On the basis of Shariah Review of transactions, in our opinion, the general conducts of Islamic banking activities are Shariah-compliant.
We pray to almighty ALLAH, for the success of Islamic Banking and provide us guidance to adhere to his Shariah in day to day operations
and forgive our mistakes.
