ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s remarkable achievements in 2007 have set <strong>the</strong> stage for its<br />

growth strategy <strong>to</strong>wards 2010.<br />

With its aim <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p modern retail bank in Vietnam, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>ned its fi nancial capability, expanded its operation network, and<br />

developed banking products and services that meet <strong>the</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers’ demand<br />

in <strong>the</strong> last 16 years.<br />

On 16 August 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> almost doubled its chartered capital and<br />

paid up equity <strong>to</strong> reach VND4,449 billion and VND5,948.7 billion respectively,<br />

and became one of <strong>the</strong> fi ve Vietnamese commercial banks with <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

funding. By year end, many fi nancial targets were surpassed. Most notable<br />

was <strong>the</strong> VND1,452 billion profi t that more than doubled that of 2006, and 21%<br />

over <strong>the</strong> target set at <strong>the</strong> 2007 AGM of VND1,200 billion.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore o<strong>the</strong>r performance indica<strong>to</strong>rs showed exponential growth.<br />

Compared <strong>to</strong> 2006, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal mobilized capital upped 151% <strong>to</strong> reach VND54,041<br />

billion; <strong>to</strong>tal loan balance s<strong>to</strong>od at VND34,317 billion, up 136%; and <strong>to</strong>tal assets<br />

was up by 156% <strong>to</strong> VND63,364 billion. The above performance was derived<br />

from <strong>the</strong> banking business, excluding that of subsidiaries and joint ventures.<br />

Holding its philosophy of “profi tability in sustainable market share”, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

continues <strong>to</strong> expand nationwide. As at end 2007, <strong>the</strong> operational network<br />

consisted of 211 branches and transaction offi ces nationwide, an increase<br />

of 132 transaction points within 12 months. The Bank is now represented in<br />

all 13 Mekong Delta Region provinces and holds <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p position among joint<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ck banks. Then Women Entrepreneurs branch model was replicated Hanoi<br />

City with <strong>the</strong> opening of <strong>the</strong> 8 March Branch on 8 August 2007. The Hoa Viet<br />

Branch was opened on 8 Oc<strong>to</strong>ber in Hochiminh City <strong>to</strong> cater for <strong>the</strong> Chinese<br />

Community.


<strong>Sacombank</strong> is <strong>the</strong> fi rst Vietnamese bank allowed by<br />

China’s central banking authorities <strong>to</strong> operate in Nanning<br />

City of Guangxi Province. This paved <strong>the</strong> way <strong>to</strong> set up<br />

a representative offi ce across <strong>the</strong> border in early 2008.<br />

Meanwhile, <strong>the</strong> administrative and legal procedures are<br />

being prepared for branch opening in Laos and Cambodia<br />

in <strong>the</strong> second quarter of 2008.<br />

In line with Vietnam’s global integration, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is<br />

expanding its alliances with dominant local and foreign<br />

partners <strong>to</strong> take advantage of <strong>the</strong> collective strength.<br />

Such cooperation creates opportunities for Vietnamese<br />

enterprises <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong>ir competitive position.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> in 2007 has allied with SJC Jewelry Company,<br />

Bao Minh Insurance, Huu Lien A Chau Construction<br />

Company, Truong Hai Au<strong>to</strong>mobile, Habubank and Military<br />

Bank.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has identifi ed organizational restructuring<br />

as a crucial step for expansion. Since mid 2007, <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank has comprehensively restructured its management<br />

mechanism including procedures, policies, regulations<br />

and business processes, asset structure and funding<br />

approaches from Head Offi ce <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> branch network.<br />

With this initiative, it brings consistent action between<br />

executive management and <strong>the</strong> governing board. It is<br />

also expected <strong>to</strong> provide more effective management<br />

and stable development in 2008.<br />

Service with a Smile<br />

In 2007, an unprecedented event <strong>to</strong>ok place, in that<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> became <strong>the</strong> only bank in Vietnam that<br />

received two international banking awards, namely,<br />

“Best Bank - Vietnam 2007” by Euromoney, and<br />

“Vietnam Retail Bank of <strong>the</strong> Year 2007” by Asian<br />

Banking and Finance. The recognition is based on <strong>the</strong><br />

criteria of strong development, business results, risk<br />

management, IT application, management quality and<br />

contribution <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fi nancial and banking sec<strong>to</strong>r. Also<br />

according <strong>to</strong> a UNDP Top 200 Vietnamese Enterprises<br />

Survey, <strong>Sacombank</strong> was ranked 26 th among all<br />

enterprises and 4 th among all commercial banks.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>to</strong> be a leading fi nancial group by 2010,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is accelerating its fi nancial investment via<br />

subsidiaries and joint ventures and expanding alliances<br />

with local enterprises. At <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong> AGM in early<br />

2008, <strong>the</strong> Bank forecasted <strong>to</strong>tal assets of VND93,000<br />

billion, chartered capital of VND6,494 billion, and<br />

pre-tax profi t of VND1,800 billion. This represents an<br />

increase of 46%, 46% and 24% respectively.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

Towards Professionalism<br />

After one year in<strong>to</strong> WTO, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese economy in 2007 had many positive changes.<br />

The GDP grew 8.44%, FDI went up 69%, export value increased 21.5%, and <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck<br />

exchange continued its attraction <strong>to</strong> local and foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs. The political and security<br />

regime were stable. The country of Vietnam drew increasing international attention as<br />

an investment spot. While <strong>the</strong> fi nancial market <strong>to</strong>ok a quantum leap in development,<br />

<strong>the</strong> commercial banks were making breakthroughs in asset size, economic impact and<br />

service quality. Against <strong>the</strong> positive outlook, <strong>the</strong> nation was not unhurt. During <strong>the</strong> year<br />

<strong>the</strong> economy was affected by natural disasters, epidemics, insuffi cient infrastructures, low<br />

competitiveness of businesses and two-digit infl ation. These limited potential growth.<br />

Despite <strong>the</strong> economic circumstances, <strong>Sacombank</strong> in 2007 more than doubled its profi t<br />

from <strong>the</strong> previous year. Meanwhile <strong>the</strong> overdue debt was limited <strong>to</strong> 0.39%, <strong>the</strong> lowest<br />

compared <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> past years. With effort and prominent achievements, <strong>Sacombank</strong> in 2007<br />

was honored with 6 local awards and 12 international accolades granted by <strong>to</strong>p economic<br />

organizations.

core competencies. Most noteworthy is <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s strong fi nancial ability, network of<br />

branches nationwide and dynamic staff. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore its joint-ventures and subsidiaries<br />

are doing well. The Bank made use of <strong>the</strong> practical cooperation and alliance with strategic<br />

partners both at home and abroad. All <strong>the</strong> above resulted in better performance, effective<br />

business processes and quality cus<strong>to</strong>mer service.<br />

Meanwhile <strong>the</strong> Bank is constantly identifying market niches <strong>to</strong> increase its market share by<br />

attracting new and potential cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> in 2007 had a sterling fi nancial performance<br />

after 16 years of operations. These achievements can<br />

be attributed <strong>to</strong> our enthusiastic staff, cus<strong>to</strong>mers and <strong>the</strong><br />

community. Our staff always did <strong>the</strong>ir best <strong>to</strong> follow <strong>the</strong><br />

vision set by senior management years ahead. The vision<br />

will enable <strong>Sacombank</strong> <strong>to</strong> reach its 2010 goals and beyond<br />

with confi dence.<br />

The achievements of 2007 resulted from competitive<br />

advantages. These were organization structures that allow<br />

effective management, asset growth, fi nancial management,<br />

human resources development, applying modern bank<br />

technology, product diversifi cation, and identifying market<br />

niches <strong>to</strong> increase market share and attracting new and potential<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

In 2008, <strong>the</strong> intermediate year of <strong>the</strong> 5-year plan (2006-2010),<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is determined <strong>to</strong> maintain a sound growth rate,<br />

promoting its lead retail bank position.<br />

At some stage, <strong>Sacombank</strong> will become a multi-purpose fi nancial<br />

group, able <strong>to</strong> provide packaged fi nancial solutions <strong>to</strong> bring addedvalue<br />

<strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers and also accumulate funds for <strong>the</strong> Bank and<br />

its member companies. The Bank plans <strong>to</strong> limit credit activities in<br />

2008, especially those for speculation in real estate and securities.<br />

With an annual growth rate of between 50% and 70%, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

can be expected <strong>to</strong> contribute <strong>to</strong> acceleration of industrialization and<br />

modernization in Vietnam while maintaining its operations within safe<br />

boundaries.<br />

funds for <strong>the</strong> poor and victims of orange agents, charitable eye surgery, clinics and<br />

poor houses; supported orphanages, victims of natural disasters in Central Vietnam<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r charitable activities. About VND16 billion that mainly came from staff<br />

contribution and welfare, was spent. In addition, <strong>the</strong> Bank’s 211 branches, from north<br />

<strong>to</strong> south, has offered employment <strong>to</strong> 6,000 workers nationwide, contributing <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

economic development and raising awareness of banking <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> nation.<br />

Not putting profi t as its fi rst goal, <strong>Sacombank</strong> focuses on providing cus<strong>to</strong>mer benefi ts<br />

with a cus<strong>to</strong>mer-oriented product “<strong>Sacombank</strong>– thanking you is not enough” was<br />

designed as a gratitude program for cus<strong>to</strong>mers. <strong>Sacombank</strong> has done extensive<br />

research <strong>to</strong> launch particular products fi tting various cus<strong>to</strong>mers with specifi c needs<br />

such as saving, lending, consuming, overseas studying. The Bank also invested in<br />

modern bank technology, extending its network <strong>to</strong> remote areas <strong>to</strong> serve cus<strong>to</strong>mers<br />

better. Special branches have been set up <strong>to</strong> serve special needs, such as, Women-<br />

for-Women branches and Chinese Speaking Branches. <strong>Sacombank</strong> has always<br />

treated cus<strong>to</strong>mers as partners in development.


To appreciate <strong>the</strong> staff for <strong>the</strong>ir contribution, <strong>Sacombank</strong> offered preferential policies<br />

<strong>to</strong> its staff, including salary, bonus, allowance and promotion. Union activities also<br />

played an important role in its staff livelihoods by providing cultural performances,<br />

fashion shows, sport activities. These events are geared <strong>to</strong> refl ect <strong>the</strong> dynamism and<br />

youthfulness of <strong>Sacombank</strong>.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> committed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> shareholders in profi t maximization through value added.<br />

The commitment is proven by <strong>the</strong> Bank’s 2007 performance that yielded better results<br />

than forecasted at <strong>the</strong> 2006 AGM. In order <strong>to</strong> provide shareholders and inves<strong>to</strong>rs with<br />

timely and practical information, in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> started <strong>the</strong> Inves<strong>to</strong>r<br />

Relation Division along with <strong>the</strong> Equity Management Team and Inves<strong>to</strong>r Report <strong>to</strong><br />

ensure shareholder rights and benefi ts are reported.<br />

HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT<br />

In 2006, Vietnam became a WTO member. It pushed<br />

<strong>the</strong> nation <strong>to</strong> integrate with <strong>the</strong> world fi nancial markets<br />

and <strong>the</strong> local markets were opened <strong>to</strong> an infl ux of<br />

foreign businesses.<br />

The local enterprises and businesses, including<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>, faced stiff competition with hiring qualifi ed<br />

staff. Foreign corporations that invested in Vietnam<br />

came prepared <strong>to</strong> offer higher compensations and<br />

benefi ts that attracted candidates who possess better<br />

qualifi cations and a greater level of skills. The cost of<br />

certain staff benefi ts offered by foreign corporations<br />

was beyond <strong>the</strong> budgets of local enterprises.<br />

In 2007, <strong>the</strong> compensation gap between foreign<br />

and local fi nancial institutions widened with <strong>the</strong><br />

opening of more banks, s<strong>to</strong>ck broking companies and<br />

32<br />

investment fi rms. There was diffi culty in recruitment of<br />

qualifi ed staff as well as in retaining <strong>the</strong> better staff.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s leaders recognized <strong>the</strong> importance of<br />

human resources. New talent management guidelines<br />

were written <strong>to</strong> retain, retrain and retain <strong>the</strong> best staff.<br />

Evidence of <strong>the</strong> success of <strong>the</strong> new guidelines is found<br />

in consistent recruitment policy.<br />

As end 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has employed a <strong>to</strong>tal of 5,470<br />

employees consisting 2,668 males and 2,802 females.<br />

This ratio conforms <strong>to</strong> gender equity principle.<br />

+ 1 Doc<strong>to</strong>rate<br />

+ 47 Masters (with 28% females)<br />

+ 3.224 Bachelors (with 53% females)<br />

+ 970 College/Intermediate diplomas (with 70%<br />

females)<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s leaders recognized <strong>the</strong> importance of human<br />

resources. New talent management guidelines were written <strong>to</strong><br />

retain, retrain and retain <strong>the</strong> best staff. Evidence of <strong>the</strong> success of<br />

<strong>the</strong> new guidelines is found in consistent recruitment policy. As<br />

end 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has employed a <strong>to</strong>tal of 5,470 employees<br />

consisting 2,668 males and 2,802 females. The ratio conforms <strong>to</strong><br />

gender equity principle.<br />

Cus<strong>to</strong>mers First<br />

The workforce is young, dynamic and enthusiastic.<br />

The following age groups apply:<br />

+ Under 30 years of age: 3,906 staff (with 56%<br />

females)<br />

+ Between 30 and 40: 1,311 staff (with 40%<br />

females)<br />

+ Above 40: 253 staff (with 40% females)<br />

To retain <strong>the</strong> best talent, <strong>the</strong> Bank is constantly looking<br />

at ways <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong> staff’s living standards by<br />

unsecured loans, vacation packages, healthcare,<br />

sports and recreation, and art and cultural events.<br />

For instance, <strong>the</strong> pay increase in March 2007 is<br />

benchmarked <strong>to</strong> economic growth rates where several<br />

staff categories received a 50% rise. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore,<br />

bonuses were given <strong>to</strong> staff on who achieved <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

business targets during <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

Bright Future<br />

For career development, <strong>the</strong>re were workshops and<br />

seminars for all levels of staff. In doing so, <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

hopes <strong>to</strong> enhance cus<strong>to</strong>mer service delivery through<br />

an effective workforce that befi ts <strong>the</strong> award by<br />

Euromoney as <strong>the</strong> “Best Bank in Vietnam 2007”.<br />

Our Attitude:<br />

THE TIP OF THE ICE BERG IS OBVIOUS,<br />

BUT WHO ARE RUNNING DEEPER


ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

MAJOR TARGETS OF THE 2008 PLAN<br />

38<br />

I. EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT<br />

▲ Socio-economic<br />

Vietnam’s economy is expected <strong>to</strong> grow 9 percent in 2008. There will be greater<br />

purchasing power as income levels increases. The living standards of ordinary people<br />

will be enhanced resulting from <strong>the</strong> greater purchasing power, which is expected <strong>to</strong><br />

soar between 15 <strong>to</strong> 20 percent. The Government is expected <strong>to</strong> promulgate new<br />

regulations <strong>to</strong> ensure that <strong>the</strong> Consumer Price Index (CPI) will rise less than that of<br />

<strong>the</strong> GDP. Prices have not shown any signs of slowing down, as exports will continue<br />

<strong>to</strong> exceed imports signifi cantly.<br />

Trade fi nance is growing and peaking between 20 <strong>to</strong> 22 percent annually. Both<br />

foreign investments and foreign direct investment (FDI) have not shown signs of<br />

abating. It is evident that Vietnam’s restructuring policies are working and attracting<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs. The nation’s core investment capital, which focuses on industrial and<br />

service sec<strong>to</strong>rs, will greatly enhance Vietnam’s new and expanding manufacturing<br />

capacity and expand export its potential.<br />

▲ Market Forces and Competition<br />

As Vietnam enters its second year of<br />

WTO ascension, <strong>the</strong>re are opportunities<br />

and challenges.<br />

Increasing business activities and demand for housing will contribute signifi cantly<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r’s loans and advances. In 2008, as new economic zones will<br />

be established in Hai Ha Province, Quang Ninh Province, Dong Nam in Nghe An<br />

Province, Hon La in Quang Binh Province, and Nam Phu Yen Province, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r investment and development opportunities in banking services in those<br />

areas.<br />

Banking services will grow in response <strong>to</strong> market demands. This is especially felt<br />

in <strong>the</strong> export-processing industrial zones. Besides <strong>the</strong> usual services and products,<br />

banks are planning <strong>to</strong> pour more resources on investment consultancy, fi nancial<br />

leasing and consulting for high-tech production projects.


The banking industry will continue <strong>to</strong> re-engineer its systems and processes <strong>to</strong><br />

international best practices and meeting <strong>the</strong> demand for seamless service delivery.<br />

More foreign banks will enter Vietnam and new local banks will be set-up by major<br />

business groups. These new entrants will compete with established local and foreign<br />

banks in all market segments.<br />

Commercial banks will accelerate <strong>the</strong>ir expansion plans <strong>to</strong> increasing <strong>the</strong>ir transaction<br />

networks and more banking services will be developed <strong>to</strong> attract cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

According <strong>to</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong> analysis, <strong>the</strong> 100% foreign-owned banks will be allowed<br />

<strong>to</strong> operate fully resulting in stiff competition.<br />

II. INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT<br />

▲ Strengths<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is among <strong>the</strong> most-capitalized banks in Vietnam. It also has a high profi le<br />

in <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r in recent years. <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s trademark is that of a large and<br />

unique retail network covering all cities and provinces nationwide, reliable cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

relationships and sustainable strategic partners, locally and internationally.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> staff is equipped with both skills and <strong>the</strong> right attitude <strong>to</strong> ensure that<br />

business goals and growth potential are met.<br />

▲ New Initiative<br />

The banking sec<strong>to</strong>r as a whole has an imbalance between <strong>the</strong> supply and demand<br />

of skilled staff. The imbalance is acutely felt in <strong>the</strong> sales function. <strong>Sacombank</strong> is<br />

taking active steps <strong>to</strong> train its staff and <strong>to</strong> embark on a talent management initiative<br />

whereby <strong>the</strong> best staff is retained.<br />

▲ Products and Services Opportunity<br />

The robust economy has led <strong>to</strong> a high level of business activities which in turn<br />

increased <strong>the</strong> demand for banking services. A new generation of banking products<br />

and services must be developed <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> demand.<br />

Since Vietnam small and medium enterprises (SMEs) uneffectively utilize banking<br />

services, <strong>Sacombank</strong> provides seminars and forums in order <strong>to</strong> raise <strong>the</strong>ir awareness<br />

Economic integration promotes closer collaboration between international and local<br />

institutions making a trend <strong>to</strong>wards joint venture investment set up.<br />

The prestige and trademark of <strong>Sacombank</strong> are thriving well and will be maintained.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

▲ Challenges<br />

Human resource with relevant experience and qualifi cations is scarce and poses an<br />

obstacle in <strong>the</strong> growth of <strong>the</strong> banking and fi nance sec<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

The demand of cus<strong>to</strong>mers is increasing in sophistication. Cus<strong>to</strong>mers demand<br />

banking products and services that offer multiple features and of high quality service<br />

delivery.<br />

Opening up <strong>the</strong> banking and fi nance sec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> facilitate growth and advancement is<br />

necessary. However, organizations with strong fi nancial capacity but do not have<br />

<strong>the</strong> understanding, <strong>to</strong> venture beyond <strong>the</strong>ir core business. Consequently, in <strong>the</strong> short<br />

term <strong>the</strong>re will be increased competition. In <strong>the</strong> longer term this may dis<strong>to</strong>rt <strong>the</strong><br />

market.<br />

III. BUSINESS GOALS 2008<br />

▲ General Goals<br />

Growing fur<strong>the</strong>r by improving its legal framework, upgrading <strong>the</strong> operational<br />

processes, continuing with organization restructuring and making effective utilization<br />

of <strong>the</strong> capital are <strong>the</strong> targets of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in <strong>the</strong> year 2008.<br />

▲ Specifi c Goals<br />

Continuing with organization restructuring <strong>to</strong> harness <strong>the</strong> cumulative strength of <strong>the</strong><br />

staff;<br />

Applying modern banking technology <strong>to</strong> banking practices and regulations;<br />

Promoting investments through subsidiaries, joint ventures, and co-operating<br />

companies;<br />

Developing new products and services <strong>to</strong> meet sophisticated demands;<br />

Diversifying capital usage structure;<br />

Raising <strong>the</strong> importance of risk management;<br />

Streng<strong>the</strong>ning alliances with subsidiaries, joint-venture companies and partners;<br />

<strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong>. The procedures selected depend on <strong>the</strong> audi<strong>to</strong>r’s judgment, including <strong>the</strong><br />

assessment of <strong>the</strong> risks of material misstatement of <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong>, whe<strong>the</strong>r due <strong>to</strong><br />

fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, <strong>the</strong> audi<strong>to</strong>r considers internal control relevant <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group’s<br />

preparation and fair presentation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong> in order <strong>to</strong> design audit procedures that<br />

are appropriate in <strong>the</strong> circumstances, but not for <strong>the</strong> purpose of expressing an opinion on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of <strong>the</strong><br />

Group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating <strong>the</strong> appropriateness of accounting policies used and<br />

<strong>the</strong> reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating <strong>the</strong> overall presentation<br />

of <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong>.<br />

We believe that <strong>the</strong> audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate <strong>to</strong> provide a basis for our audit<br />

opinion.<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007<br />

FORM B 05/TCTD - HN<br />

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

The principal accounting policies adopted for <strong>the</strong> preparation of <strong>the</strong>se <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong><br />

are set out below.<br />

2.1 Basis of preparation of <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong><br />

The <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong> have been prepared in millions of Vietnamese Dong using <strong>the</strong><br />

his<strong>to</strong>rical cost convention and in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards and prevailing<br />

regulations applicable <strong>to</strong> banks and o<strong>the</strong>r credit institutions operating in SR Vietnam. Accordingly, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong> are not intended <strong>to</strong> present <strong>the</strong> fi nancial position and results of operations<br />

and cash fl ows in accordance with jurisdictions o<strong>the</strong>r than SR Vietnam. The accounting principles and<br />

practices utilised in SR Vietnam may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r than SR Vietnam.<br />

2.2 Fiscal year<br />

The Group’s fi scal year is from 1 January <strong>to</strong> 31 December.<br />

2.3 Foreign currencies<br />

The <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong> are prepared in million Vietnamese Dong.<br />

Transactions arising in foreign currencies are translated at rates ruling on <strong>the</strong> transaction dates. Monetary<br />

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at each month end are translated at <strong>the</strong> rates<br />

of exchange ruling at <strong>the</strong> month end date. Foreign exchange differences from monthly revaluation are<br />

recorded in <strong>the</strong> foreign currency difference reserve in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> balance sheet and transferred <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

2.4 Consolidation<br />

58<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

(i) Subsidiaries<br />

Subsidiaries are those companies over which <strong>the</strong> Group has <strong>the</strong> power <strong>to</strong> govern <strong>the</strong> fi nancial and<br />

operating policies. Subsidiaries are <strong>consolidated</strong> from <strong>the</strong> date on which control is transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Group. They are de-<strong>consolidated</strong> from <strong>the</strong> date on which control ceases.<br />

The purchase method of accounting is used <strong>to</strong> account for <strong>the</strong> acquisition of subsidiaries by <strong>the</strong> Group.<br />

The cost of an acquisition is measured as <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> assets given, equities instruments<br />

issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at <strong>the</strong> date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> acquisition. Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are<br />

measured initially at <strong>the</strong>ir fair value at <strong>the</strong> acquisition date, irrespective of <strong>the</strong> extent of <strong>the</strong> minority<br />

interest. The excess of cost of acquisition over <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> Group’s share of identifi able<br />

assets acquired is recorded as Goodwill. Goodwill is recognised in expenses (if it is of low value)<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>rwise amortised in a uniform manner during its estimated useful life (if it is of high value).<br />

The useful life of goodwill should be properly estimated as <strong>the</strong> time during which sources embodying<br />

economic benefi ts are recovered by <strong>the</strong> Group. Such useful life is not beyond 10 years from <strong>the</strong> date<br />

of recognition. If <strong>the</strong> cost of acquisition is less than <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> net assets of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary<br />

acquired, <strong>the</strong> difference is recognised directly in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement.


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007<br />

FORM B 05/TCTD - HN<br />

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)<br />

2.4 Consolidation (continued)<br />

(i) Subsidiaries (continued)<br />

Inter-company balances, transactions and unrealised gains on transactions between those companies<br />

and <strong>the</strong> Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses also eliminated unless transactions provide evidence<br />

of an impairment of <strong>the</strong> asset transferred. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed<br />

where necessary <strong>to</strong> ensure <strong>the</strong> consistency with <strong>the</strong> policies adopted by <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

(ii) Minority interest<br />

Minority interest is <strong>the</strong> portion of <strong>the</strong> profi t or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable <strong>to</strong> equity<br />

interest that are not owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by <strong>the</strong> parent.<br />

(iii) Associates and joint-ventures<br />

Associates are all entities over which <strong>the</strong> Group has signifi cant infl uence but not control, generally<br />

accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of <strong>the</strong> voting rights.<br />

Joint-venture is a contractual arrangement whereby <strong>the</strong> Group and o<strong>the</strong>r parties undertake an<br />

economic activity which is subject <strong>to</strong> joint control.<br />

The Group uses <strong>the</strong> equity method for consolidating its investments in associates and joint-ventures.<br />

The Group’s share of its associates’ and joint-ventures’ post acquisition profi ts or losses is recognised<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement. When <strong>the</strong> Group’s share of losses in an associate and jointventure<br />

equals or exceeds <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of its investment in <strong>the</strong> associate and joint-venture,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Group does not recognise fur<strong>the</strong>r losses in its <strong>consolidated</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong>, unless it has<br />

obligations <strong>to</strong> pay on behalf of <strong>the</strong> associate and joint-venture. Accounting policies of associates<br />

and joint-ventures have been changed where necessary <strong>to</strong> ensure consistency with <strong>the</strong> policies<br />

adopted by <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

2.5 Interest income and expenses<br />

The Group records interest income and expense on an accruals basis. Interest income from non-performing<br />

loans is not accrued and is recognised on an actual collection basis. Interest income is derecognised<br />

when a loan becomes overdue and is recorded in off-balance sheet. Interest income on overdue loan is<br />

recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement on receipt.<br />

2.6 Fees and commissions income<br />

Fees and commission income consists of fees received for settlement services, treasury services,<br />

guarantees services, securities brokerage services and o<strong>the</strong>r services. Fees on guarantees services and<br />

securities brokerage services are recognised on an accrual basis. Fees and commissions arising from<br />

settlement services, treasury services and o<strong>the</strong>r services are recognised on receipt.<br />

2.7 Loans, advances and fi nance leases <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers (continued)<br />

Where a cus<strong>to</strong>mer owes more than one debt <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group, and has any of its debts transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> group<br />

of debts with higher risk, <strong>the</strong> Group is obliged <strong>to</strong> classify <strong>the</strong> remaining debts of such cus<strong>to</strong>mer in<strong>to</strong> groups<br />

of debts with higher risk corresponding with <strong>the</strong>ir level of risk.<br />

The Group shall actively classify those debts in<strong>to</strong> groups of debts with higher risk corresponding with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

level of risk in <strong>the</strong> following situations:<br />

- There are indications of adverse impact <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mer’s business environment and sec<strong>to</strong>r;<br />

- Cus<strong>to</strong>mer’s fi nancial ratios or repayment capability is weakened;<br />

- Cus<strong>to</strong>mer does not accurately, completely and promptly provide <strong>the</strong> Group its fi nancial information<br />

for <strong>the</strong> Group’s assessment of cus<strong>to</strong>mer’s repayment capability.<br />

Provision for losses on loans, advances and fi nance leases <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers<br />

The determination of specifi c provision for credit risk is calculated using set rates applied <strong>to</strong> each group of<br />

debts as follows:<br />

Provision rates<br />

Group 1 - Current 0%<br />

Group 2 - Special mentioned 5%<br />

Group 3 - Sub-standard 20%<br />

Group 4 - Doubtful 50%<br />

Group 5 - Bad 100%<br />

The specifi c provision is calculated based on net credit exposure of each borrower which equals <strong>to</strong> loan<br />

balance or lease balance as at 30 November less value of collateral assets. The value of <strong>the</strong>se assets is<br />

market value discounted at predetermined percentage for each kind of collateral assets.<br />

In accordance with <strong>the</strong> Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005, a general provision is also<br />

required and should be equal <strong>to</strong> at least 0.75% of <strong>to</strong>tal balance of loans, advances and fi nance leases <strong>to</strong><br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers as at 30 November, and excluding <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal balance of loans, advances and fi nance leases <strong>to</strong><br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers which are classifi ed as bad. This level of <strong>the</strong> general provision is required <strong>to</strong> be achieved within<br />

5 years from <strong>the</strong> effective date of <strong>the</strong> Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN.<br />

2.8 Credit commitments<br />

Credit commitments are classifi ed in<strong>to</strong> fi ve groups based on quantitative and qualitative fac<strong>to</strong>rs as<br />

follows:<br />

Group 1: Current<br />

- Undue commitments which, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group’s assessment, could be fully settled when <strong>the</strong>y<br />

fall due.<br />

Group 2: Special mentioned<br />

- Undue commitments which, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group’s assessment, could not be fully settled when<br />

commitment balance as at 30 November less value of collateral assets. The value of <strong>the</strong>se assets is<br />

market value discounted at predetermined percentage for each kind of collateral assets.<br />

In accordance with <strong>the</strong> Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005, a general provision is also<br />

required and should be equal <strong>to</strong> at least 0.75% of <strong>to</strong>tal balance of guarantees, loan commitments and<br />

settlement acceptances as at 30 November and excluding guarantees and commitments which are<br />

classifi ed as bad. This level of provision is required <strong>to</strong> be achieved within 5 years from <strong>the</strong> effective date<br />

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)<br />

2.9 Investments (continued)<br />

(i) Trading securities (continued)<br />

Listed trading securities are initially stated at cost of acquisition. Subsequently, <strong>the</strong>y are measured at<br />

cost less provision. Provision is made where <strong>the</strong>re is a diminution in value of listed trading securities.<br />

Unlisted securities are stated at cost of acquisition because fair values for unlisted securities cannot<br />

be measured reliably.<br />

Gains or losses from disposal of trading securities are recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income<br />

statement and are reported on a net basis.<br />

(ii) Held-<strong>to</strong>-maturity securities<br />

Held-<strong>to</strong>-maturity debt securities are those securities with fi xed or determinable payment and fi xed<br />

maturities that <strong>the</strong> Group’s management has <strong>the</strong> positive intention and ability <strong>to</strong> hold <strong>to</strong> maturity.<br />

(iii) Available-for-sale securities<br />

Available-for-sale securities are those intended <strong>to</strong> be held for an indefi nite period of time, which may<br />

be sold in response <strong>to</strong> needs for liquidation or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity<br />

prices.<br />

Held-<strong>to</strong>-maturity and available-for-sale securities are stated at cost of acquisition. Post-acquisition<br />

interest income of debt securities is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement on an accrual<br />

basis. Pre-acquisition interest income of debt securities is deducted against <strong>the</strong> cost of acquisition.<br />

(iv) Investments in o<strong>the</strong>r entities<br />

2.10 Fixed assets<br />

Investments in o<strong>the</strong>r entities comprise shareholding of less than 20% in unlisted companies. These<br />

investments are stated at market value at <strong>the</strong> acquisition date. The difference between market<br />

value and acquisition cost is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> balance sheet as a deferred expense<br />

or deferred income. These deferred expenses or income are <strong>the</strong>n amortised <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong><br />

income statement. Provision is made where <strong>the</strong>re is a diminution in value of <strong>the</strong>se investments.<br />

Since fair values for unlisted securities cannot be measured reliably, <strong>the</strong>se investments are<br />

recognised at cost of acquisition. Dividends are recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement<br />

when <strong>the</strong> Group’s right <strong>to</strong> receive payment is established.<br />

Tangible and intangible fi xed assets<br />

Fixed assets are stated at his<strong>to</strong>rical cost less accumulated depreciation. His<strong>to</strong>rical cost includes expenditure<br />

that is directly attributable <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> acquisition of <strong>the</strong> fi xed assets.<br />

2.10 Fixed assets (continued)<br />

Depreciation<br />

Fixed assets are depreciated on <strong>the</strong> straight-line method <strong>to</strong> write off <strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>the</strong> assets over <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates used are:<br />

Annual rates<br />

2007 2006<br />

Buildings 2% 2.22%<br />

Offi ce equipments 10-12.50% 12.50-20%<br />

Mo<strong>to</strong>r vehicles 10% 10%<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r assets 10% 10%<br />

Computer software 12.50% 20%<br />

Land use rights are amortised, using <strong>the</strong> straight-line method over a range from 45 years <strong>to</strong> 50 years in<br />

accordance with <strong>the</strong> terms indicated in <strong>the</strong> land use right certifi cate. Land use rights which are granted for<br />

an indefi nite term are carried out at cost and not amortised.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>the</strong> Bank changed <strong>the</strong> depreciation rates of its fi xed assets in order <strong>to</strong> provide more<br />

reasonable estimated useful lives of those assets (See Note 13 and Note 14).<br />

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with <strong>the</strong> carrying<br />

amount and are recognised as income or expense in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement.<br />

2.11 Leased assets<br />

Leases of property, plant and equipment where <strong>the</strong> Group has substantially all <strong>the</strong> risks and rewards of<br />

ownership are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at <strong>the</strong> inception of <strong>the</strong> lease at<br />

<strong>the</strong> lower of <strong>the</strong> fair value of leased property or <strong>the</strong> present value of <strong>the</strong> minimum lease payments. Each<br />

lease payment is allocated between <strong>the</strong> liability and fi nance charges so as <strong>to</strong> achieve a constant rate on<br />

<strong>the</strong> fi nance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of fi nance charge, are included<br />

in long-term borrowings. The interest element of <strong>the</strong> fi nance cost is charged <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income<br />

statement over <strong>the</strong> lease period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under fi nance leases are<br />

depreciated over <strong>the</strong> shorter of <strong>the</strong> useful life of <strong>the</strong> asset or <strong>the</strong> lease term.<br />

Leases where a signifi cant portion of <strong>the</strong> risks and rewards of ownership are retained by <strong>the</strong> lessor are<br />

classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong><br />

income statement on a straight-line basis over <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> lease.<br />

2.12 Gold<br />

Gold is revalued at each month end. The differences arising from monthly revaluation are recorded in<br />

foreign exchange difference reserve and transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement at <strong>the</strong> balance<br />

sheet date.<br />

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents<br />

64<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2007<br />

For <strong>the</strong> purpose of <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> cash fl ow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and<br />

precious metals, demand deposit at <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam, demand and term deposits at banks with<br />

<strong>the</strong> original term not longer than 90 days (2006: this item was demand and term deposits at banks with less<br />

2.14 Derivative fi nancial instruments<br />

Derivatives are recorded in a balance sheet account at contract value on <strong>the</strong> date which a derivative<br />

contract is entered in<strong>to</strong> and revalued subsequently at <strong>the</strong>ir fair value. Gains or losses from realisation of<br />

derivatives are recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement. Unrealised gains or losses are recognised<br />

in <strong>consolidated</strong> balance sheet foreign currency difference reserve and transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong><br />

income statement at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date.<br />

2.15 Provisions<br />

Provisions are recognised when: <strong>the</strong> Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past<br />

events; it is probable that an outfl ow of resources will be required <strong>to</strong> settle <strong>the</strong> obligation; and <strong>the</strong> amount<br />

has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.<br />

Where <strong>the</strong>re are a number of similar obligations, <strong>the</strong> likelihood that an outfl ow will be required in settlement<br />

is determined by considering <strong>the</strong> class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if <strong>the</strong><br />

likelihood of an outfl ow with respect <strong>to</strong> any one item included in <strong>the</strong> same class of obligations may be<br />

small.<br />

Provisions are measured at <strong>the</strong> present value of <strong>the</strong> expenditures expected <strong>to</strong> be required <strong>to</strong> settle <strong>the</strong><br />

obligation using a pre-tax rate that refl ects current market assessments of <strong>the</strong> time value of money and<br />

<strong>the</strong> risks specifi c <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> obligations. The increase in <strong>the</strong> provision due <strong>to</strong> passage of time is recognised as<br />

interest expense.<br />

2.16 Provision for severance allowances<br />

In accordance with Vietnamese labour laws, employees of <strong>the</strong> Group are entitled <strong>to</strong> a severance allowance<br />

based on <strong>the</strong>ir years of service. This will be paid as a lump sum when <strong>the</strong> employee leaves <strong>the</strong> Group.<br />

Provision for severance allowance is made in accordance with Circular 07/2004/TT-BTC dated 9 February<br />

2004 and Circular 82/2003/TT-BTC dated 14 August 2003 issued by <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Finance. Accordingly,<br />

a provision for severance allowances equal <strong>to</strong> 2% of <strong>to</strong>tal basic salary of <strong>the</strong> year was made as at <strong>the</strong><br />

balance sheet date.<br />

2.17 Taxation<br />

Business income tax expense is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement based on current income<br />

tax and deferred income tax.<br />

Current income tax is <strong>the</strong> amount of business income tax payable or recoverable in respect of <strong>the</strong> current<br />

year taxable profi t and <strong>the</strong> current tax rates.<br />

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using <strong>the</strong> liability method, on temporary differences arising between<br />

<strong>the</strong> tax bases of assets and liabilities and <strong>the</strong>ir carrying amounts in <strong>the</strong> fi nancial <strong>statements</strong>. Deferred<br />

income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r than a business combination that at <strong>the</strong> time of occurrence affects nei<strong>the</strong>r accounting nor taxable<br />

profi t or loss. Deferred income tax is determined at <strong>the</strong> tax rates that are expected <strong>to</strong> apply <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fi nancial<br />

year when <strong>the</strong> asset is realised or <strong>the</strong> liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or<br />

substantively enacted by <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date.<br />

Deferred income tax assets are recognised <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will be<br />

available against which <strong>the</strong> temporary differences can be utilised.<br />

also proposed <strong>to</strong> allocate a fur<strong>the</strong>r amount of VND107,945 million <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> reserve for supplementary<br />

chartered capital as a result of <strong>the</strong> 50% reduction in BIT for <strong>the</strong> year 2007. This plan has not refl ected<br />

until <strong>the</strong> reserve balance reaches 25% of <strong>the</strong> current capital<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r reserves include <strong>the</strong> fund for investment and development and <strong>the</strong> welfare and bonus fund. The<br />

allocation <strong>to</strong> welfare and bonus fund has been approved by <strong>the</strong> Board of Management of <strong>the</strong> Bank and <strong>the</strong><br />

INVESTOR RELATION<br />

Throughout 2007 <strong>Sacombank</strong> is consistently ranked<br />

among organizations whose shares have <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

trading volumes. The Bank has accounted for between<br />

5% and 7% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal market capitalization and<br />

<strong>the</strong>refore has signifi cant infl uence on <strong>the</strong> VN Index.<br />

The s<strong>to</strong>ck recorded a strong rise trading at VND168,000<br />

per share on 22 May 2007. This was an increase of<br />

133,3% within <strong>the</strong> fi ve-month period from year-end<br />

2006.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> 2006 AGM, <strong>the</strong> shareholders approved a doubling<br />

of its charter capital. It increased from VND2,089 billion<br />

<strong>to</strong> VND4,449 billion on August 2007. The details are as<br />

follows:<br />

112<br />

1. Paid 2006 dividend at 12% of shareholders’<br />

equity, equivalent <strong>to</strong> VND259,729,540,000.<br />

Throughout 2007<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is consistently<br />

ranked among organizations<br />

whose shares have <strong>the</strong><br />

highest trading volumes.<br />

2. Rights issue with an exercise ratio of 1:1 and<br />

a price of 1.5 times par value (VND15,000 per<br />

share), equivalent <strong>to</strong> VND2,089,412,810,000.<br />

3. Rights issue <strong>to</strong> key employees with an exercise<br />

price of 1.5 times of par value (VND15,000 per<br />

share), equivalent <strong>to</strong> VND20,000,000,000 billion.<br />

On 13 August 2007, Mr. Tran Dac Sinh, General<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>r of Hochiminh S<strong>to</strong>ck Exchange, approved <strong>the</strong><br />

listing of <strong>Sacombank</strong> additional shares issued during<br />

2007. A <strong>to</strong>tal of 235,940,136 additional shares with a<br />

<strong>to</strong>tal value of VND2,359,401,360,000 were listed on 13<br />

August 2007 and offi cially traded on Ho chiminh S<strong>to</strong>ck<br />

Exchange on 21 August 2007.<br />

On 21 August 2007, <strong>the</strong> number of shares permitted<br />

for foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs in <strong>Sacombank</strong> was incorrectly


posted by <strong>the</strong> Vietnam Securities Deposi<strong>to</strong>ry as 49%,<br />

instead of <strong>the</strong> maximum 30%. Foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong>ok<br />

this golden opportunity <strong>to</strong> buy STB shares. At <strong>the</strong> end<br />

of day, a <strong>to</strong>tal of 2,058,810 STB shares were traded.<br />

Foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs accounted for 50 percent of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

s<strong>to</strong>cks purchased equivalent <strong>to</strong> 1,209,380 shares.<br />

The number of shares traded on 21 August 2007<br />

was a record for STB’s trading volume. This proves<br />

that <strong>Sacombank</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck is sought-after in <strong>the</strong> market,<br />

especially by foreign investment companies.<br />

Two signifi cant events occurred in December 2007<br />

resulting from renewed investment strategy of<br />

signifi cant minority shareholders. On 20 December,<br />

ANZ disclosed its registration <strong>to</strong> buy 703,172 STB<br />

shares, increasing its stake in <strong>Sacombank</strong> <strong>to</strong> reach<br />

10%. The IFC announced its decision <strong>to</strong> sell 8,917,620<br />

shares on 24 December as part of restructuring its<br />

investment portfolio. Following <strong>the</strong> IFC announcement,<br />

foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs immediately registered <strong>the</strong>ir interest<br />

<strong>to</strong> buy <strong>the</strong> IFC sold–off volume.<br />

In 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> recorded high growth rates across<br />

all business divisions, doubling <strong>the</strong> target growth rate<br />

for <strong>the</strong> industry. Despite a rapid capital increase, <strong>the</strong><br />

ratios on capital adequacy and operating effi ciency<br />

were maintained and improved. The ROE and ROA<br />

were above <strong>the</strong> industry average as <strong>the</strong> additional<br />

capital was injected in<strong>to</strong> potential investments that<br />

generated high returns.<br />

With a positive outlook for <strong>the</strong> Vietnam banking industry<br />

in 2008, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is set <strong>to</strong> record a high growth<br />

rate.<br />
