Methods and assumptions in estimating market value or fair value of financial instruments<br />

The following methods and assumptions were used by the <strong>Bank</strong> and its subsidiaries in estimating market value or<br />

fair value of financial instruments as disclosed herein :<br />

Cash and interbank and money market items<br />

The carrying amounts of cash and interbank and money market items which have remaining maturities of less than<br />

1 year or bear floating rates of interest approximate their fair value. Fair value for fixed rate instruments with remaining<br />

maturities greater than 1 year is estimated by using a discounted cash flow calculation applying average interest<br />

rates currently being offered on similar instruments.<br />

Securities purchased under resale agreements<br />

The carrying amount of securities purchased under resale agreements estimates fair value.<br />

Investments<br />

Fair value for securities is based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available,<br />

market value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments after adjusting for risk involved or the net<br />

asset values of such securities.<br />

Loans<br />

For floating-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on<br />

carrying values. The fair value of fixed rate loans that reprice within 1 year from the balance sheet date is the carrying<br />

value at the balance sheet date. Fair value for other fixed interest rate loans is estimated using discounted cash<br />

flow analysis and using average interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of<br />

similar credit quality.<br />
