Statement of the Senior country officerOur performance in <strong>2009</strong> continued to feel the effects of the global economic andfinancial crisis which has severely impacted the real economy worldwide, includingthe Czech Republic.Under this new environment, we followed the re-focus strategy of our groupCALYON under the 4 main goals:1 – re-focus our business on the key business lines2 – reduce our risk profile3 – concentrate our development on our existing clients4 – reduce our costs.Although these were already the core focus of our local strategy, we havereinforced our activities under these specific criteria.A closer follow up of some of our clients did not lead us to create furtherimpairment provisions and the current quality of our portfolio makes us reasonablyoptimistic about this field for the current year.During the first quarter of 2010, an important step was undertaken by our groupCredit <strong>Agricole</strong> to re-brand its Corporate and Investment Bank subsidiaries andbranches from CALYON to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bankworldwide. The change in name was effective in Czech Republic on 1 April 2010.This change in name confirms the strategy and the full support of our group tocontinue to invest and develop under its global brand, as well as its corporate andinvestment banking activities.We are confident that <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bank CzechRepublic, with the full support of Group <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>, being one of the majorinternational banking institutions, and thanks to the professionalism of its staff, willcontinue to strengthen its activities and market share alongside an improvedprofitability of our operations in the Czech Republic.There were no events, which have occurred subsequent to the year end until thedate of preparation of this annual <strong>report</strong>, which would have a material impacton the financial statements and the annual <strong>report</strong> of our bank as at 31 December<strong>2009</strong> and would require additional disclosure.On behalf of the Management committee, I wish to extend our thanks to all theclients of the bank for their support and loyalty as well as to all the employees ofthe bank for their valuable contributions.Thierry HebraudSenior country officer(3)

CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>1 GENERAL INFORMATIONCALYON S.A., organizační složka (hereinafter referred to as “the Branch”) was inceptedon 26 October 2005. The Branch has its registered office at Ovocný trh 8, Praha 1, 117 19 andthe Head office, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bank S.A., incorporated in France,is registered at Paris La Defense Cedex, Quai Du President Paul Doumer, 9, 92920, France.The ultimate holding company is SAS Rue La Boétie, incorporated in France.The Branch’s operations mainly consist of:providing Czech crown and foreign currency loans and guarantees;accepting and placing deposits in Czech crowns and foreign currency;accepting current and term accounts denominated in Czech crowns and foreign currency;rendering of general banking services;providing foreign exchange transactions on the inter-bank money market;2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES(a)Basis of preparationThe financial statements, comprising a balance sheet, off-balance sheet, income statement,statement of changes in equity and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance withthe Act on Accounting and the applicable accounting rules and standards set by the Ministryof Finance of the Czech Republic. The financial statements are prepared under the historicalcost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial instruments at fair value throughprofit or loss and available-for-sale financial instruments to fair value.The financial statements are rounded to millions of Czech crowns (“CZK million”or “CZK m” ) unless otherwise stated.Ongoing global financial crisisThe ongoing global financial crisis which commenced in the middle of 2007 and developed inthe Czech Republic from 2008 has resulted in, among other things, a lower level of capitalmarket trading, lower liquidity levels across the banking sector, higher interbank lending ratesand very high volatility in stock markets. The uncertainties in the global financial marketshave also led to bank failures and state assisted bank rescues in the United States ofAmerica, Western Europe, Russia and elsewhere. Indeed the full extent of the impact of theongoing financial crisis is proving to be impossible to anticipate or completely guard against.(13)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(b)Foreign currenciesFinancial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Czechcrowns at the exchange rate announced by the Czech National Bank (“CNB”) effective at thebalance sheet date. All resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in Gainsless losses from financial transactions.(c)Securities financing arrangementsSecurities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repo agreements)are not recognized on the balance sheet. Securities lent or sold under agreementsto repurchase (repo agreements) are retained in their original portfolio. The underlying cashflows are recorded as Due to banks or customers and Due from banks or customers,as appropriate, on the settlement date.(d)Fair value of securitiesThe fair value of Branch’s securities is determined as net present value of cash flows for debtsecurities.The Branch uses only observable market data in its models used for determining of the fairvalue of securities. The valuation models reflect current market conditions at themeasurement date which may not be representative of market conditions either before orafter the measurement date. As at the balance sheet date Branch’s management hasreviewed its models to ensure they appropriately reflect current market conditions, includingthe relative liquidity of the market and credit spreads.(e)Recognition and derecognition of the financial assets and liabilitiesThe following rules apply for the recognition of the financial assets and liabilities:The Bank shall recognise a financial asset or a financial liability in its balance sheet when,and only when, the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.The following rules apply for the derecognition of the financial assets and liabilities:(14)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(e)Recognition and derecognition of the financial assets and liabilities (continued)Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows fromthese assets have ceased to exist or the assets have been transferred and substantially allthe risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are also transferred (that is, if substantiallyall the risks and rewards have not been transferred, the Bank tests control to ensure thatcontinuing involvement on the basis of any retained powers of control does not preventderecognition). Financial liabilities are derecognized when they have been redeemed orotherwise extinguished.Collateral (shares and bonds) furnished by the Bank under standard repurchase agreementsand securities lending and borrowing transactions is not derecognized because the Bankretains substantially all the risks and rewards on the basis of the predetermined repurchaseprice, and the criteria for derecognition are therefore not met.A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets are recognized and derecognized, asapplicable, using settlement date accounting.(f)Securities at fair value through profit or lossSecurities at fair value through profit or loss have two subcategories. Securities held fortrading, which were acquired for generating profit from short-term fluctuations in prices orfrom dealers’ margins or included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit takingexists, and securities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. Any securitythat is a financial asset or liability can be designated at fair value through profit or loss atinception except for participation interests that are not publicly traded and the fair value ofwhich cannot be reliably measured and securities issued by the Branch.Securities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at cost, which includesexpenses incurred in connection with their acquisition, and they are subsequently measuredat fair value. All related gains and losses are included in gains less losses from financialtransactions.(g)Securities held-to-maturitySecurities held-to-maturity are securities with a fixed maturity where the Branch hasboth the intent and the ability to hold them to maturity. They are measured at amortised cost.(15)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(h)Securities available-for-saleAvailable-for-sale securities are neither securities at fair value through profit or loss norsecurities held-to-maturity. They comprise debt securities held for liquidity management.Available-for-sale securities are initially recognized at cost which includes expenses incurredin connection with their acquisition and are subsequently measured at fair value.Any subsequent gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-salesecurities are recognized directly in equity (net of any tax effect) until the financial asset isderecognized or impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized inequity should be recognized in the income statement. Interest on debt securities calculatedusing the effective interest rate method is recognized in the income statement.(i)Derivative financial instrumentsDerivative financial instruments are initially recognized on balance sheet at costand subsequently are remeasured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quotedmarket prices, discounted cash-flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.All derivatives are presented in Other assets or Other liabilities when their fair valueis positive or negative respectively.Changes in the fair value of derivatives held for trading are included in Gains less losses fromfinancial transactions.(16)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(j)Interest income and expenseInterest income and expense are recognized for all interest bearing instruments on an accrualbasis using the effective yield method based on the acquisition cost.The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financialasset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over therelevant period.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows untilmaturity or the nearest change of interest rate to the net carrying amount of the financialasset or financial liability. The straight-line method is used as an approximation of theeffective interest method for for loans with individual repayment periods shorter than 1 year.Interest income includes accrued coupons, discount and premium on all fixed incomeinstruments.Income on non-performing receivables is also accrued and capitalized into the related loanbalance. Such amounts are considered in estimating the provision for non-performingreceivables.(k)Penalty interestPenalty interest income, which is suspended or forgiven, is excluded from interest incomeuntil received. Amounts previously recognized as income are not reversed.(l)Fee and commission incomeFees and commissions are generally recognized on an accrual basis when the service hasbeen provided. Commission and fees arising from negotiating, or participating in thenegotiation of a transaction for a third party are recognized on completion of the underlyingtransaction. Arrangement fees for syndicated loans are recognized on completionof the underlying transaction. All other fees and commissions for syndicated loans arerecognized on an effective interest rate basis over life time of the deal. Management advisoryand service fees are recognized based on the applicable service contracts, usually on a timeapportionatebasis.(m)ReceivablesReceivables originated by the Branch are stated at nominal value less allowances.Irrecoverable receivables are written off upon completion of bankruptcy proceedings againstthe debtor.(17)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(n)ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Branch has a present obligation as a result of pastevents, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can bemade.Additions to provisions are recognized in the income statement, their utilisation is recognizedtogether with expenses or losses, for which purpose they were created in the incomestatement. Release of provisions in case they are no longer necessary is recognized asincome.Provisions are set aside in the currency, in which the settlement is expected to be made.(o)Allowances for impairmentThe Branch assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence thata receivable or group of receivables is impaired.A receivable or group of receivables is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and onlyif, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred afterthe initial recognition of the receivable (a “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on theestimated future cash flows of the receivable or group of receivablesthat can be reliably estimated.Objective evidence that a receivable or group of receivables is impaired includes observabledata that comes to the attention of the Branch about the following loss events:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)significant financial difficulty of the issuer;a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;the Branch granting to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons relating to theborrower’s financial difficulty, a concession that the lender would not otherwiseconsider;it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financialreorganisation;observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated futurecash flows from a group of receivables since the initial recognition of those receivables,although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual receivables in thegroup, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group oreconomic conditions that correlate with defaults on the receivables in the group.(18)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)(o)Allowances for impairment (continued)The Branch first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individuallyfor receivables that are individually significant.If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a receivable carried at amortisedcost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference betweenthe receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows(excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the receivable’soriginal effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through theuse of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the incomestatement. If a receivable has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring anyimpairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralisedreceivable reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining andselling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewedregularly by the Branch to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual lossexperience.When a receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the related provision for receivableimpairment. Such receivables are written off after all the necessary procedures have beencompleted and the amount of the loss has been determined.If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decreasecan be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such asan improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss isreversed by adjusting the allowance account against the income statement.(19)

The Branch seeks to increase these margins byconsolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates whilstmaintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due.The Branch also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above average margins, netof provisions, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a rangeof credit standing. Such exposures involve not just on-balance sheet receivablesand advances but the Branch also enters into guarantees and other commitmentssuch as letters of credit and other contractual liabilities.The Branch also trades in financial instruments where it takes positions in over-the-counterinstruments including derivatives to take advantage of short-term market movements in theequity and debt securities markets and in currency, and commodity prices. The ManagementCommittee places trading limits on the level of exposure that can be taken in relation to bothovernight and intra-day market positions. Foreign exchange and interest rate exposuresassociated with these derivatives are normally offset by entering into counterbalancingpositions, thereby controlling the variability in the net cash amounts required to liquidate openmarket positions.(34)


CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>22 FINANCIAL RISKS (continued)(b)Credit riskThe Branch structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount ofrisk accepted in relation to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to geographical andbusiness segments. Such risks are monitored on a regular basis and are subject to an annualor more frequent review.The Branch determines the level of credit risk it is taking by allocating limits to singleborrowers or group of borrowers. Each client request is evaluated based on quantitative(financial structure, company size) as well as qualitative characteristics (such as, but notlimited to, quality of management and organisational structure, market share, industrysensitivity / market fluctuations, growth potential, product quality and placement power,access to external funding, etc.).Based on such assessment and using a standardised tool of Credit <strong>Agricole</strong> Group, a ratingis assigned to each client by taking - whenever it is applicable - the client’s position within aneconomic group into consideration. The rating approach is based on the methodology ofStandard & Poor’s (“S&P”) whereby the external rating of S&P (if existing) constitutes one ofthe criteria of the designed scale. Collateral to be received has no influence on the allocatedrating. Guarantors are rated by a similar approach. The majority of loans have been grantedto the clients rated with equivalents between BBB+ and BBB-.The Branch does not exclude any industry neither on principal nor on experience.Nonetheless, a very restrictive approach is implemented towards real-estate financing and/oraccepting it as a collateral in order to avoid losses arising from significant market movements.Risks are monitored on a regular basis and are subject to an annual or more frequent review.Due to the nature of its business, granted credits are not grouped into portfolios and theBranch does not use a portfolio approach towards the claims. “significant concentration”is characterized by industry/region or other specific features common for several clients.These features cannot be influenced by the clients nor can it be mitigated by them.Consequently, these clients develop similarly and face the same important risks.The Branch recognizes the definitions of classification for overdue, watch and impairedreceivables as defined by the CNB. Preferably collateral accepted by the Branch includes: bankguarantees, parent company guarantees, receivables, and cash collaterals.(35)

CALYON S.A., ORGANIZAČNÍ SLOŽKANOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER <strong>2009</strong>22 FINANCIAL RISKS (continued)(c)Market riskThe Branch takes on exposure to market risks which arise from open positions in interest rateand currency.The Branch applies a ‘Value at Risk’ (“VAR”) methodology (applied separately for currency andinterest rate risk) to estimate the market risk of positions held and the maximum lossesexpected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions.The Global Risk Management department of Branch’s Head office sets limits on the level ofrisk that may be accepted, which is monitored on a daily basis.The daily market VAR is an estimate, with a confidence level set at 99%, of the potential losswhich might arise if the current positions were to be held unchanged for one business day.The measurement is structured so that daily losses exceeding the VAR figure should occur, onaverage, not more than once every hundred trading days. Actual outcomes are monitoredregularly to test the validity of the assumptions and parameters/factors used in the VARcalculation.Since VAR constitutes an integral part of the Branch’s market risk control regime, VAR limitsare established for all trading and portfolio operations; actual exposure against limits isreviewed on a daily basis by management. Global VAR for the Branch as at 31 December<strong>2009</strong> was CZK 0,2 million (2008: CZK 7 million). Average annual value of VAR was CZK 1,6million in <strong>2009</strong> (2008: CZK 3 million).However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the eventof more significant market movements. Therefore, the Branch also performs the stressscenario testing. Based on the Branch’s previous historical experience and hypothetical stressmodels, the Branch defines the stress scenario situation as a situation when the Branch suffersa loss of USD 5 million on open positions as a result of a substantial devaluation of thedomestic currency exchange rate combined with a substantial growth of the domestic interestrates. The Branch defines the substantial devaluation of the domestic currency exchange rateas the devaluation of CZK against USD by 10%.The Branch defines the substantial growth of the domestic currency interest rates as anincrease of the CZK interest rates by 1.5% for the period of up to 1 month (1% for the period of1 – 12 months; 0.75% for the period of above 12 months). The Branch monitors the stressscenario indicators outlined above on a daily basis. The Branch managementis alerted even when the scenario suggests that the Branch may suffer a loss in the amountof 75% of the stress scenario loss limit (i.e. USD 3.75 million).(37)

The Branch does not maintain cash resourcesto meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestmentof maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. The ManagementCommittee sets limits on the minimum proportion of maturing funds available to meet suchcalls and on the minimum level of inter-bank and other borrowing facilities that shouldbe in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demand. In case of unexpectedoutflow of liquid resources, the Branch has a back up liquidity line with its Head office.(43)
