The modified capital adequacy ratio is equal to the capital adequacy ratio.<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong>’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and<br />

to sustain future development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholder return is also recognised<br />

and the <strong>Bank</strong> recognises the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater<br />

gearing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong> and its individually regulated operations have complied with all externally imposed capital requirements<br />

throughout the period.<br />

There have been no material changes in the <strong>Bank</strong>’s management of capital during the period.<br />

Gearing ratio<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong>’s risk management committee reviews the capital structure on a continuously basis. As part of this review, the<br />

committee considers the cost of capital and the risk associated with each class of capital. The gearing ratio at the year<br />

ended was as follow:<br />

<strong>2012</strong> 2011<br />

Debt 3,728 12,663<br />

Equity 99,236 99,057<br />

Net debt to equity ratio 4% 13%<br />

5. Fair value of financial instruments<br />

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing<br />

parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price.<br />

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the <strong>Bank</strong> using available market information,<br />

where it exists, and appropriate valuation methodologies. However judgement is necessarily required to interpret<br />

market data to determine the estimated fair value. The volume of activity in financial markets is not significant. While<br />

Management has used available market information in estimating the fair value of financial instruments, the market<br />

information may not be fully reflective of the value that could be realised in the current circumstances.<br />

Cash and cash equivalents and mandatory reserve<br />

Cash and cash equivalents include inter-bank placements and items in the course of collection. As these balances are<br />

short term and at floating rates their fair value is considered to equate to their carrying amount.<br />
