3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability
J (m) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Bank if one party has the ability directly or indirectly to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability

Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges

(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions

Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability

(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability
J (m) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Bank if one party has the ability directly or indirectly to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party

Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges

As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability

(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability

Parties are considered to be related to the Bank if one party has the ability directly or indirectly to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party

3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability
J (m) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Bank if one party has the ability directly or indirectly to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party

25 Financial risk management policies (continued)
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movement in the level of market prices or rates the two key components being foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk
(i) Foreign currency exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange risk refers to adverse exchange rate movements on foreign currency exchange positions taken from time to time The Bank maintains a policy ofnot exposing itself to large foreign exchange positions Any foreign currency exchange open positions are monitored against the operating requirements predetermined position limits and cut-loss limits
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the volatility in net interest income as a result ofchanges in the levels of interest rate and shifts in the composition of the assets and liabilities Interest rate risk is managed through close monitoring of returns on investment market pricing and cost of funds and through interest rate sensitivity gap analysis The potential reduction in net interest income from an unfavourable interest rate movement is monitored against the risk tolerance limits set
(d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the Banks ability to maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial commitments and obligations at a reasonable cost when they fall due
The management of the Bank closely monitors all inflows and outflows and the maturity gaps through periodical reporting Movements in loans and customers deposits are monitored and liquidity requirements adjusted to ensure sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial commitments and obligations as and when they fall due

International Commercial Bank Lao Limited Notes to financial statements (continued) Yeareuded 31 December 2012
3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Income tax (continued)
Provision is made for taxation based on the current years total revenue as per the laws governing taxation within the Lao PDR For each profitable year the Bank is subject to the current tax rate of28 on total profit before tax or 1 minimum tax rate oftotal revenue in case ofiosses whichever is higher
As per the revised tax law from 1 January 2013 the minimum tax of 1 was abolished and the new corporate tax rate is 24 the effect ofthis change cannot presently be determined
The Banks tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations amount reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities
The taxation system in Lao PDR is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation which is often unclear contradictory and subject to interpretation Often differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities who are enabled by Jaw to impose severe fines penalties and interest charges
These facts may create tax risks in Lao PDR substantially more significant than in other countries Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation However the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant
(I) Provisions
A provIsIOn is recognised if as a result of a past event the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability
J (m) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Bank if one party has the ability directly or indirectly to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party
