(a) Issued guarantees<br />

Commitments from guarantees represent irrevocable<br />

assurances that the Bank will make payments<br />

in the event that a borrower cannot meet its obligations<br />

to third parties. These assurances carry the<br />

same credit risk as loans and therefore the Bank<br />

makes provisions against these instruments on a<br />

similar basis as is applicable to loans.<br />

(b) Commitments and undrawn credit facilities<br />

The primary purpose of commitments to extend<br />

credit is to ensure that funds are available to the<br />

customer as required. Commitments to extend<br />

credit issued by the Bank represent issued loan<br />

commitment, undrawn portions of and approved<br />

overdraft loans.<br />

(c) Lease obligations<br />

In the normal course of business, the Bank enters<br />

into operating lease agreements for branch facilities<br />

and cars. The total value of future payments<br />

arising from non-cancelable operating leasing contracts<br />

at 31 December 2007 was as follows:<br />

2007 2006<br />

Up to 1 year 46 55<br />

1 to 5 years 82 128<br />

Over 5 years - -<br />

128 183<br />

(d) Legal<br />

In the ordinary course of business the Bank is subject<br />

to a variety of legal actions. The Bank conducted<br />

a review of legal proceedings outstanding<br />

against it as of 31 December 2007. Pursuant<br />

to this review, management has recorded as of 31<br />

December 2007 a provision of Sk 968 million (31<br />

December 2006: Sk 990 million) in respect of such<br />

legal proceedings (see also note 21). The Bank will<br />

continue to defend its position in respect of each of<br />

these legal proceedings.<br />
