1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bank of America N.A. India branches (‘the Bank’), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2013 and the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

2. Management is responsible for preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Bank in accordance with provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 read with Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Bank including its branches in accordance with Standards on Auditing (‘the Standards') issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain 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 Bank’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

6. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said financial statements together with the notes thereon give the information required by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so required for banking companies and give a true and fair view in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Bank as at 31 March 2013;

(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit of the Bank for the year ended on that date; and

(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Bank for the year ended on that date.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

7. The Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash flow Statement have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 read with Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956.

8. We report that:

(a) we have obtained all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our audit and have found them to be satisfactory;

(b) the transactions of the Bank, which have come to our notice, have been within the powers of the Bank;

(c) during the course of our audit we have visited 2 branches. Since the key operations of the Bank are automated with the key applications integrated to the core banking systems, the audit is carried out centrally as all the necessary records and data required for the purposes of our audit are available therein.

9. In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in subsection (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the accounting policies prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India.

10. We further report that:

(i) the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;

(ii) the financial accounting systems of the Bank are centralised and, therefore, accounting returns are not submitted by the Branches;

(iii) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Bank so far as appears from our examination of those books; and

(iv) the requirements of Section 274(1)(g) of the Companies Act, 1956 are not applicable considering the Bank is a branch of Bank of America N.A, which is incorporated and registered in Charlotte, U.S.A.

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

SCHEDULE 18 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A) Background The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 comprise the accounts of the India branches of Bank of America,

N.A. (the Bank), which is incorporated in the United States of America with limited liability.

B) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting, unless

otherwise stated and are in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, statutory provisions prescribed under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, circulars and guidelines issued by The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time and Accounting Standards (AS) issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, to the extent applicable and conform to the statutory requirements prescribed by the RBI from time to time and current practices prevailing within the banking industry in India.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees rounded off to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

C) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, requires management

to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known. Any revision to the accounting estimates is recognized in the current and future periods as appropriate.

D) Significant Accounting Policies 1) Revenue recognition Interest income is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account on an accrual basis, except in case of interest on non-performing

advances which is recognized as income upon receipt in accordance with the RBI prudential norms.

Interest income on discounted instruments is recognized over the tenor of the instrument on a constant effective yield basis.

Commission on guarantees and letters of credit is recognized upfront.

2) Foreign Exchange Transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded and translated at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the balance sheet date at exchange rates notified by the Foreign Exchange Dealers' Association of India (FEDAI) and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

Outstanding forward exchange contracts are revalued at rates of exchange notified by FEDAI and the resulting gains/losses are included in the Profit and Loss Account.

Contingent liabilities on account of foreign exchange contracts, guarantees and acceptances, endorsements and other obligations denominated in foreign currencies are disclosed at the year-end closing rates of exchange notified by FEDAI.

3) Derivatives The Bank enters into derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, currency options, forward

exchange contracts, as well as exchange-traded interest rate futures, currency futures and currency options.

All derivative transactions are classified as trading derivatives. Outstanding derivative contracts, other than exchange-traded interest rate futures, currency futures and currency options, are valued at the estimated realizable market price (fair value). Resulting gains/losses are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account under 'Other Income' with the corresponding net unrealized amounts reflected under 'Other Assets' or 'Other Liabilities' on the Balance Sheet.

Fair value is determined by reference to a quoted market price or by using a valuation model. In case the market prices do not appropriately represent the fair value that would be realized for a position or portfolio, valuation adjustments such as market risk close-out costs and bid-offer adjustments are made to arrive at the appropriate fair value. These adjustments are calculated on a portfolio basis, and are reported together with/or as a part of the carrying value of the positions being valued, thus reducing trading assets or increasing trading liabilities.

BANK OF AMERICA N.A.(INDIA BRANCHES)(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

july 20, 2013 vol xlviII no 29 EPW Economic & Political Weekly10

Valuation models, where used, calculate the expected cash flows under terms of the specific contracts, taking into account the relevant market factors viz. interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility, prices etc.

Exchange-traded interest rate futures, currency futures and currency options are marked-to-market using the closing price of relevant contract as published by the exchanges/clearing corporation. Margin money deposited with the exchanges is presented under 'Other Assets'.

The Bank also maintains provisions on the current mark-to-market value of the contract, arising on account of derivative and foreign exchange transactions in accordance with the RBI Master circular (DBOD.No.BP.BC.9/21.04.048/2012-13 dated July 2, 2012) on prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning pertaining to advances.

Any overdue receivables representing positive mark-to-market value of derivative and foreign exchange transactions are treated as non-performing assets, if remaining unpaid for a period of 90 days or more pursuant to the above guidelines.

4) Investments Investments are accounted for in accordance with the RBI Master Circular (DBOD No. BP. BC. 13/21.04.141/2012-13

dated July 2, 2012) on prudential norms for classification, valuation and operation of investment portfolio by banks.

Classification Investments are classified as “Held to Maturity” (HTM), “Held for Trading” (HFT) and “Available for Sale” (AFS) at

the time of purchase in accordance with RBI norms. Under each of these classifications, investments are further categorized as i) Government Securities ii) Other approved securities iii) Shares iv) Debentures and Bonds v) Subsidiaries and/or joint ventures and vi) Others.

Valuation Investments held under HTM classification are carried at acquisition cost. If the acquisition cost is more than the face

value, the premium is amortized over the remaining tenor of the investments.

Investments classified under HFT and AFS portfolio are marked to market on a monthly basis. Investments classified under HFT and AFS portfolio are valued as per rates declared by the Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI) jointly with the Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association of India (FIMMDA) and in accordance with the RBI guidelines. Consequently net depreciation, if any, under each of the classifications in respect of any category mentioned in 'Schedule 8-Investments' is provided for in the Profit and Loss Account. The net appreciation, if any, under any classification is ignored, except to the extent of any depreciation provided previously. The book value of the individual securities is not changed consequent to periodic valuation of investments.

Treasury Bills, Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposit, being discounted instruments, are valued at carrying cost.

Investments in Pass Through Certificates (PTCs) are valued by adopting the base yield curve and corporate bond spread relative to weighted average maturity of the security.

Investment Reserve Account In accordance with the aforesaid Master Circular, in case the provision on account of depreciation in the HFT and AFS

categories is found to be in excess of the required amount, the excess is credited to the Profit and Loss Account and an equivalent amount (net of taxes, if any and transfer to Statutory Reserve as applicable to such excess provision) is appropriated to an Investment Reserve Account.

The provision required to be created on account of depreciation in investments in AFS & HFT categories is debited to the Profit and Loss Account and an equivalent amount (net of tax benefit, if any and net of consequent reduction in transfer to Statutory Reserves) is transferred from the Investment Reserve Account to the Profit and Loss Account, to the extent available.

Transfer between classifications Transfer of investment between categories is accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines, as under:

a) Transfer from AFS/HFT to HTM is made at the lower of book value or market value at the time of transfer.

b) Transfer from HTM to AFS/HFT is made at acquisition price/book value if originally placed in HTM at a discount and at amortized cost if originally placed in HTM at a premium.

c) Transfer from AFS to HFT category or vice-versa is made at book value and the provision for the accumulated depreciation, if any, held is transferred to the provisions for depreciation against the HFT securities and vice-versa.

Repurchase transactions Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase transactions including those under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) with RBI

are accounted for as secured borrowing and lending transactions in accordance with RBI guidelines. Brokerage and Commission Brokerage and Commission paid at the time of acquisition of a security is charged to Profit and Loss Account. Broken period interest Broken period interest paid at the time of acquisition of the security is charged to the Profit and Loss Account. 5) Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization. Tangible Assets Except for items forming part of (i) and (ii) below, depreciation is provided, prorata for the period of use, by straight

line method (SLM), based on management estimate of useful lives of the fixed assets, or the SLM rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 whichever is higher at the following rates:

Asset category Depreciation rate per annum

Building 5% Server, networking and other computer equipment 20% – 50% Furniture and fixtures 10% Vehicles 20% Other equipment (mechanical/electronic) 15% – 33.33%

i) Assets costing less than the rupee equivalent of USD 2,500 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. ii) Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease period including the renewal periods (if any). Assets associated

with premises taken on lease are depreciated on straight line basis using the rates derived from the lease or at the rates mentioned above, whichever is higher.

Profit on disposal of properties is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account and subsequently appropriated to Capital Reserve (net of taxes, if any and applicable transfer to Statutory Reserve); losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

Intangible Assets The Company capitalizes software, where it is reasonably estimated that the software has an enduring useful life. Software

is amortized over an estimated useful life of 2 to 5 years. Software individually costing less than the rupee equivalent of USD 10,000/- is fully amortized in the year of purchase. Impairment of Assets In accordance with AS-28 on 'Impairment of Assets', an asset is considered as impaired, when at the balance sheet date

there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable, the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the asset's net selling price and value-in-use). The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired based on internal/external factors. If any such indication exists, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognized as an impairment loss in the Profit and Loss Account.

6) Advances Classification and provisioning for advances is carried out in accordance with RBI Master Circular (DBOD.No.BP.

BC.9/21.04.048/ 2012-13 dated July 2, 2012) on prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning pertaining to advances.

Advances are stated net of bills re-discounted, specific loan loss provisions and interest-in-suspense for non-performing advances in accordance with the prudential norms.

The Bank also maintains general provisions on standard assets over and above the specific provisions to cover potential credit losses inherent in any loan portfolio.

Provision for Standard Assets and Country Risk Exposure is made in accordance with the norms prescribed by the RBI and disclosed under Schedule 5 – 'Other Liabilities and Provisions'.

7) Employee Benefits Provident fund Provident fund was contributed to a trust set up by the Bank for all eligible employees till March 31, 2012 with the interest

rate payable to the members of the trust not being lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Shortfall, if any, was contributed by the Bank and to that extent this was a defined benefit plan. Contributions made to the trust were charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

With effect from April 1, 2012, the Bank has started making provident fund contributions to a Government administered provident fund in respect of its employees. Further, the accumulated balances as at March 31, 2012 with the Trust set up by the Bank have also been transferred to the government administered provident fund. Liability/Obligation, if any, arising out of the transfer to the Government administered provident fund would be borne by the Bank.

Gratuity The Bank has a gratuity scheme, a defined benefit plan, for all eligible employees, which is administered by a trust set up

by the Bank. The costs of providing benefits under the gratuity scheme are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date. The Bank makes periodical contributions to the trust. Gratuity benefit obligations recognised on the Balance Sheet represent the present value of the obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which they arise.

Compensated Absences Liability for sick leave and privilege leave defined benefit plans for all eligible employees is recognized based on actuarial

valuation carried out by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date. Pension The Bank has a pension scheme, a defined contribution plan, for all eligible employees, which is administered by a trust

set up by the Bank. The Bank's contribution towards the pension scheme is accounted for on an accrual basis and charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

8) Taxation Taxes on income are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard 22 on “Accounting for Taxes on Income” and

comprise current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid in respect of taxable income for the year in accordance with

the Income tax-Act, 1961. The tax effect of timing differences that result between taxable income and accounting income and are capable of reversal

in one or more subsequent periods are recorded as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. These are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets arising on account of carry forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under tax laws are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of its realization, supported by convincing evidence. Deferred tax assets on account of other timing differences are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date is reduced to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be realized.

9) Accounting for leases Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the lease term are

classified as operating leases. For operating leases, lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of Profit and Loss Account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

10) Provisions and contingent liabilities A provision is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow

of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best available estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an economic benefit will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

PILLAR III – MARKET DISCIPLINE FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

BASEL II – PILLAR III DISCLOSURES1. Scope of application Qualitative Disclosures The Basel II Pillar III disclosures contained herein relate to Bank of America, N.A. – India Branches (hereafter referred to as the

“Bank” or “BANA India”) for the year ended March 31, 2013. Bank of America Corporation (“BAC” or “the Corporation”) has a subsidiary, Bank of America, N.A. (“BANA”) into which BANA India is consolidated. The Pillar III disclosures are compiled in accordance with Reserve Bank of India (the “RBI”) regulations on Prudential guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Market Discipline – New Capital Adequacy Framework (“NCAF”) vide DBOD. No. BP.BC. 16/ 21.06.001/ 2012-13 dated July 2, 2012.

The provisions of Accounting Standard (“AS”) 21 - Consolidated Financial statements, AS 23 Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial statements & AS 27 - Financial Reporting of Interest in Joint Ventures, issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006 do not apply to the Bank. Further the Bank does not have any interest in insurance entities. Hence the qualitative disclosures are only made for BANA India as a standalone entity.

Quantitative Disclosures For the reasons mentioned above, the quantitative disclosures are only made for BANA India as a standalone entity2. Capital Structure Qualitative Disclosures The capital funds of the Bank include the following: Tier I Capital ● Interest-free funds from Head office (BANA) specifically for the purpose of meeting the capital adequacy norms prescribed

by the RBI. These include amount brought in as start-up capital and Tier 1 capital augmented by BANA. ● Statutory reserves upon transfer of 25% of profits of each year, in accordance with Section 17 of The Banking Regulation

Act, 1949. ● Remittable surplus retained in Indian books which the Bank has undertaken not to repatriate and credited to a separate

account titled as ‘Amount retained in India for the purposes of Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (“CRAR”)’. ● Capital reserves representing surplus arising out of sale of assets in India and held in a separate account and not eligible

for repatriation so long as the Bank operates in India. Tier II Capital ● Revaluation reserves on account of revaluation of the premises owned by the Bank. As per the RBI guidelines, a discount

of 55 percent is considered while determining the value for inclusion in Tier II capital. ● Reserves included under Tier II comprise reserves that are not attributable to the actual diminution in value or identifiable

potential loss in any specific asset and are available to meet unexpected losses. The Bank includes the ‘Provision on Standard Assets’, ‘Provisions held for Country Exposures’, ‘Investment Reserve Account’ and ‘General Provisions’ in Tier II capital. These are reckoned for Tier II capital up to a maximum of 1.25% of the total risk-weighted assets.

3. Capital Adequacy Qualitative disclosures Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) The Bank is required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in India including guidelines issued by RBI and other

relevant regulatory bodies. The Local Management Team (“LMT”) of the Bank is responsible for ensuring that the Bank complies with global policies,

procedures and corporate governance practices. These include policies relating to Basel II and, in particular, the ICAAP framework. The LMT is chaired by the Country Executive. It is the primary body which provides strategic direction to the Bank and ensures compliance to regulatory requirements and internal policies of the Bank. It is responsible for branch governance and oversight of Branch Operations. LMT reviews and approves the ICAAP.

ICAAP establishes a framework for banks to perform a comprehensive assessment of the risks they face and relate capital to those risks. The capital analysis performed by the Bank is expected to encompass all risks, not just the risks captured by the Basel II Pillar 1 minimum regulatory capital calculation. Successful risk identification and measurement requires having a comprehensive process to quantify, measure and aggregate these various risks in order to ensure that the Bank’s capital resources are sufficient to cushion volatility in earnings due to unexpected losses.

Broadly, the ICAAP process can be summarized as follows: The authority to develop the ICAAP document is delegated to the Finance department. The Bank’s Chief Financial Officer

(“CFO”) is responsible for the production of the ICAAP with inputs from the primary Lines of business (“LOBs”), and Governance and Control Functions (“GCFs”) including Risk Management and Compliance. Enterprise-wide functions, including Enterprise Stress Testing (“EST”), Enterprise Capital Management (“ECM”) and CFO Risk, also review the ICAAP to ensure consistency with firm practices.

Based on inputs from LOBs and the LMT, Finance prepares financial projections and forecasts the Risk Weighted Assets over the ICAAP Planning Horizon. This determines the projected capital requirements for ICAAP purposes. The stress scenarios and methodology adopted for developing the ICAAP document are reviewed by senior management. The document is presented to the LMT for final review and approval. The ICAAP is an annual process in the Bank and is also validated by Internal/External Audit periodically, as required under RBI guidelines.

Pillar 1

The Bank has adopted Standardized Approach (“SA”) for credit risk, Standardized Duration Approach (“SDA”) for market risk and Basic Indicator Approach (“BIA”) for operational risk for computing its capital requirement.

Under the Standardized Approach for credit risk, ratings assigned by the eligible external credit rating agencies support the measure of credit risk. The Bank relies upon the ratings issued by the external credit rating agencies specified by the RBI for assigning risk weights for capital adequacy purposes under the Basel II guidelines. The risk weights applicable for claims against bank, sovereign, corporate, retail portfolio (employee loans) are as per the Basel II guidelines.

In compiling the credit exposures, the Bank does not reduce cash collateral received against credit exposures as eligible credit mitigants, as permitted by the RBI.

Under the Standardized Duration Approach for computing the capital requirement for market risk, the Bank has adopted the “duration” method.

The minimum capital requirement is computed in terms of:

● "Specific risk" charge for each security, to protect against an adverse movement in the price of an individual security owing to factors related to the individual issuer.

● "General market risk" charge towards interest rate risk in the portfolio, where long and short positions in different securities or instruments can be offset.

Under the Basic Indicator Approach, the Bank holds capital for operational risk equal to 15% of average positive gross annual income for the previous three financial years.

4. Credit Risk: General Disclosures Qualitative Disclosures Credit Risk The Bank has comprehensive policies in place for measurement, reporting, monitoring and mitigation of credit risk.

The Bank is focused on quality of assets, return on those assets/risk capital required on account of these assets and select target segment of corporate with strong credit profiles. The Bank examines its portfolio and monitors these factors on an on-going basis. Consequently the Bank exits relationships on account of credit concerns or inadequate returns on the risk capital required to continue the lending relationship, as and when warranted. The Bank believes that this exercise has improved the overall quality of credit portfolio, and has also made credit portfolio more resilient to industry and economic downturns.

PILLAR III – MARKET DISCIPLINE FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

The Bank manages credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower or counterparty, repayment sources, the nature of underlying collateral, and other support given current events, conditions and expectations. Credit risk management begins with an assessment of the credit risk profile of the borrower or counterparty based on an analysis of their financial position. As part of the overall credit risk assessment of a borrower or counterparty, credit exposures are assigned a risk rating and are subject to approval based on defined credit approval standards. Subsequent to loan origination, risk ratings are monitored on an ongoing basis. If necessary, risk ratings are adjusted to reflect changes in the financial condition, cash flow or financial situation of a borrower or counterparty. Risk ratings are also a factor in determining the allowance for credit losses.

The Bank has a policy of internal rating on a scale of Risk Rating (“RR”) 1-11, and the RR is continuously monitored with a change in RR as and when it is warranted. Exposures with RR of 8 or more are subject to intensive scrutiny by the senior management.

Tight credit risk management controls as above have ensured strong credit risk management systems as demonstrated by no non-performing assets (“NPA”) as of March 31, 2013 (Previous year - 0.01% of total advances). Net NPA levels have consistently been at zero percent over the past several years. The Bank’s strong credit risk management systems are reflected in the selective client base, stringent and regular monitoring and conservative Criticized Asset policy. As a result, Bank is able to start tracking potential problem assets in the initial stage itself and can manage early exit, resulting in low or nil NPAs.

NORMS FOR DETERMINING WHEN TO CLASSIFY VARIOUS TYPES OF ASSETS AS NON-PERFORMING

● Term loans are treated as non-performing if the interest and/or installments of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days.

● Cash credits & overdrafts are treated as non-performing if these remain out of order for a period of more than 90 days.

An account will be treated “out of order” if the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power. In case where the outstanding balance is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power, but there are no credits continuously for three months as on balance-sheet date or credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period, these accounts will be treated as out of order.

● Bills purchased/discounted are treated as non-performing if the bill remains overdue and unpaid for a period of more than 90 days during the financial year.

● Any overdue receivables representing positive mark-to-market value of a foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts will be treated as non-performing asset if these remain unpaid for 90 days or more, upon becoming due.

Any other facility will be treated as non-performing if any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days during the financial year.

5. Credit risk: Disclosures for portfolios subject to the standardised approach Qualitative disclosures The Bank adopts the following basis: ● All exposures to scheduled banks for the purpose of Pillar 1 calculation, have been applied a 20% risk weight, since these

exposures are made to counterparty banks having capital adequacy ratio of 9% and above. ● Ratings for foreign banks have been sourced from Standard & Poor’s. ● Where the obligors have obtained rating of the facility from any of the accredited credit rating agencies viz. CRISIL Limited

(CRISIL), Credit Analysis & Research Limited (CARE), ICRA Limited (ICRA), Fitch, Brickwork Ratings India Pvt. Limited (Brickwork) as specified by the RBI, the Bank has applied the risk weights relevant to the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies. Further, where the long-term rating is worse off than the short-term rating and vice-versa, the Bank has applied the most conservative risk weight across the portfolio.

● Where the obligors have not obtained a rating, the exposures are taken as unrated and appropriate risk weights applied.

6. Credit risk mitigation: disclosures for standardised approaches Qualitative disclosures In determining credit risk capital, the Bank has not reduced the facility amounts by any corresponding eligible collateral amount

in the form of cash margins. The Bank assesses the credit facility based on the future projection of the cash flows, financial soundness, and liquidity profile and repayment capacity, of the potential/existing clients. The Bank lays more emphasis on cash flow of the client and not on the units, stocks or assets mortgaged/pledged by the client. Hence conservative view is taken by not reducing the collaterals.

Further, credit portfolio also includes responsibility credits (R-credits), which are used to offer credit facilities to subsidiaries and affiliates of existing credit takers that are located in areas served by credit jurisdictions other than one serving the parent entity and are unable to access credit facilities without parent support. Here the facility is provided to the Indian borrower on the support of the parent credit taker. These are secured by corporate guarantees from the parent companies or standby letter of credit from the concerned branches.

Qualitative disclosures

Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the risk of losses in on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices. The market risk positions subject to capital charge requirement are:

● The risks pertaining to interest rate related instruments and equities in the trading book; and

● Foreign exchange risk throughout the Bank.

The minimum capital requirement is expressed in terms of two separately calculated charges:

● "Specific risk" charge for each security, to protect against an adverse movement in the price of an individual security owing to factors related to the individual issuer; and

● "General market risk" charge towards interest rate risk in the portfolio, where long and short positions in different securities or instruments can be offset.

The general market risk charge captures the risk of loss arising from changes in market interest rates. The capital charge is the sum of four components:

● the net short/long position in the whole trading book;

● a small proportion of the matched positions in each time band – vertical disallowance;

● a larger proportion of the matched positions across different time bands – horizontal disallowance, and

● a net charge for positions in options.

The general market risk charge is measured by using the modified duration method.

Foreign exchange open positions are risk-weighted at 100%. These open positions, limits or actual, whichever is higher, attract capital charge at 9%.

The option risk is the sum of capital charges arising from delta risk, gamma and vega risk.

9. Operational Risk Operational Risk: It is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external

events. This definition includes legal risk.

Operational Risk Events: Inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems and external events may result in unexpected or undesired consequences including a financial loss, an unexpected gain, a near miss and/or an opportunity cost (lost future revenue). The events associated with these unintended and/or undesired consequences are termed as operational risk events.

Operational Loss: An operational loss is the recorded financial consequence (excluding insurance reimbursements or tax effects) resulting from an operational loss event, including all expenses associated with an operational loss event except for opportunity costs, foregone revenue, and costs related to risk management and control enhancements implemented to prevent future operational losses. Operational loss events can also result in unintended financial gains. BAC classifies operational losses using the Basel II categories and definitions: Internal Fraud; External Fraud; Employment Practices and Workplace Safety; Clients, Products, and Business Practices; Damage to Physical Assets; Business Disruption and System Failures; and Execution, Delivery, and Process Management.

BAC manages the operational risks of its business activities using the enterprise-wide Operational Risk Framework. Enterprise-wide Operational Risk policies, processes, tools, and standards are established by Corporate Operational Risk – “COR” (Global Function) and implemented by the Lines of Business (“LOBs”)/Enterprise Control Functions (“ECFs”) with oversight from the Independent LOB/ECF Risk Teams (Regional Function). Each have a quality assurance role and through direct action or oversight, these stakeholders are collectively responsible for execution of the Operational Risk Program requirements, achievement of risk management objectives, and ensuring timely action is taken in response to concerns and issues.

Governance of Operational Risk Governance of BAC’s operational risk is accomplished through formal oversight by the Board of Directors (“the Board”), the

Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) and through LMT and risk oversight groups aligned to the BAC’s overall risk governance framework and practices.

Risk Management Process The BAC Enterprise-wide Operational Risk Management Program includes processes for identification, measurement, mitigating,

controlling, monitoring, testing, reviewing and reporting operational risk information to management and the Board. This is implemented through 1) Risk and Control Self Assessment (“RCSA”), 2) Operational Risk Appetite, Key Risk Indicators (“KRIs”), 3) Scenario Analysis, 4) Operational Loss Event Data, 5) External Operational Loss Events, 6) Issues Management Process, 7) Quality Assurance (“QA”) & Validation Framework. Certain elements of bank’s operational risk program may only be performed at global level and/or at regional level. The results, relevant to Bank are shared with management committee.

10. Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (“IRRBB”) Qualitative Disclosure IRRBB represents the banking book’s exposure to adverse movements in interest rates. Client facing activities, primarily lending

and deposit taking, create interest rate sensitive positions on the balance sheet. This exposes the Bank to risk from changes in interest rates. These assets and liabilities essentially reside in the banking book.

BANK OF AMERICA N.A.(INDIA BRANCHES)(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

july 20, 2013 vol xlviII no 29 EPW Economic & Political Weekly46

IRRBB is measured using both earnings perspective (traditional gap analysis) and economic value perspective (duration gap analysis) and reviewed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) on a regular basis.

Earnings perspective (traditional gap analysis): measures the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates over the next 12 months. It involves bucketing of rate sensitive assets and liabilities in the banking book as per residual maturity/re-pricing dates in various time bands and computing the change in net interest income change over a one year time horizon for 200 basis points upward and downward rate shocks.

Economic value perspective (duration gap analysis): measures the changes in the Market Value of Equity of the Bank for a 200 basis points upward and downward rate shock. It involves bucketing the interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities as per residual maturity in various time bands and computing the Modified Duration Gap (“MDG”). The MDG is used to evaluate the impact of the upward and downward rate movement on the Market Value of Equity of the Bank.

Quantitative disclosures: The increase/(decline) in earnings and economic value (on a pre-tax basis) for an upward/downward rate shock of 200 basis

points, broken down by currency is as below:
