To the shareholders of CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited
My opinionIn my opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements and the interim separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the interim consolidated financial position of CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the interim separate financial position of the Bank as at 30 June 2025, and its interim consolidated and separate financial performance and its interim consolidated and separate cash flows for the six-month period then ended in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) and the Bank of Thailand notifications in relation to the preparation and presentation of financial reporting as described in the notes to the interim consolidated and separate financial statements no. 2.
The interim consolidated and the separate financial statements comprise:
the interim consolidated and separate statements of financial position as at 30 June 2025;
the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income for the six-month period then ended;
the interim consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity for the six-month period then ended;
the interim consolidated and separate statements of cash flows for the six-month period then ended; and
the interim notes to the interim consolidated and separate financial statements, which include material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinionI conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing (TSAs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the Group and the Bank in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants including Independence Standards issued by the Federation of Accounting Professions (TFAC Code) that are relevant to my audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the TFAC Code. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Key audit mattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgement, were of most significance in my audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements of the current year. I determine one key audit matter: Allowances for expected credit losses on loans to customers, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. This matter was addressed in the context of my audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.
Allowances for expected credit losses on loans to customers, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts
Refer to Notes to the interim consolidated and separate financial statements no. 2 for accounting policies, no. 11 for disclosures relating to loans to customers, and no. 23 for disclosures relating to provisions.
Loans to customers are a significant item constituting 44.02% of total assets. As at 30 June 2025 the total loans portfolio of the Group comprises of loans of commercial banking business which constitutes 86.94%, and hire-purchase receivables generated from the operations of the subsidiaries 13.06%. Management made an estimate on the allowances for expected credit losses on certain loans, portfolio of loans to customers, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts by applying both quantitative data and qualitative factors which are complex.
I focused on auditing this area because the allowances for expected credit loss ("ECL") under TFRS 9 " Financial Instruments" require the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic conditions and ability to pay.
In addition, the significant judgements in applying the accounting requirements for measuring ECL include the following:
Building the appropriate collective assessment models used to calculate ECL. The models are inherently complex, and judgement is applied in determining the appropriate model construct;
Identifying loans to customers that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk;
Assumptions used in the ECL models such as expected future cash flows, forward-looking macroeconomic factors, probability weighted scenarios and management overlay ; and
Data and assumptions used for ECL for the significant exposure on individual assessment approach such as expected future cash flows and the appraisal value of collaterals.
I evaluated the design and implementation of controls, and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls over input data and the calculation of allowances for expected credit losses in the system as follows:
I tested management's controls over data accuracy, assessed the application of appropriate methodologies and appropriateness of systems, processes and internal controls in assessing the reliability of results for setting up allowances for expected credit losses.
I tested the key controls (both automated and manual). I involved my information technology specialists to test access controls to the system, including the scripts, and controls over the computation of allowances for expected credit losses, as well as the accuracy of customers' account balances used in the computation. I also tested controls over accuracy of data input into the system that used to determine the allowances for expected credit losses, collateral amounts and data transfer.
I tested governance controls for the ECL model development and refinements, including model approval, monitoring and validation.
I tested management's controls over the review and approval of setting up allowances for expected credit losses by reading minutes of key committee meetings such as the audit committee, risk committee, management committees and Board of Directors of the Group.
I didn't find any exceptions from my testing, with the result that I relied on controls of the Group in my audit. In addition, I also performed the following further procedures.
I assessed and tested the methodologies, as well as the significant modelling assumptions and data reliability inherent within the ECL models applied. I also considered appropriateness of forward-looking forecasts assumptions compared with available information in the market.
I examined a sample of loans to customers and gathered relevant information to form my judgement on whether there was a significant increase in credit risk or any objective evidence of impairment on these customers, and then considered the appropriateness of the stage classification. I independently performed a credit analysis where I selected loans based on risk exposures. I tested the internal credit rating of those loans with the Bank's internal credit rating policy.
I tested management's review and approval process for management overlay. I assessed the appropriateness of management overlay by using my banking industry experience and knowledge, in the light of current economic conditions.
Where allowances for expected credit losses were individually calculated, I assessed their adequacy of allowances for expected credit losses by challenging the basis of cash flow projections prepared by management and assessed the appropriateness of projections by examining them against the relevant supporting evidence. I had a detailed discussion with management on the future cash flows expected from customers. I also used professional judgement and external evidence, if any, to assess those projections, and re-performed the calculations of the discounted cash flows.
For collateral valuations performed by the professional valuers, I checked their qualifications. Then, I sampled those valuations to check that management used the latest valuations in the computation of allowances for expected credit losses. I assessed the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies by considering that the valuers used the methodology allowed by the regulators. I also checked the accuracy of the collateral value in the ECL models.
Based on the work I performed, I didn't find any material differences from allowances for expected credit losses which had been assessed by management.
Responsibilities of the directors for the interim consolidated and separate financial statementsThe directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance with TFRS and the Bank of Thailand notifications in relation to the preparation and presentation of financial reporting as described in the notes to the interim consolidated and separate financial statements no. 2, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of interim consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the interim consolidated and separate financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The audit committee assists the directors in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group's and the Bank's
financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statementsMy objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the interim consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with TSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these interim consolidated and separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with TSAs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Bank's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor's report to the related disclosures in the interim consolidated and separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the interim consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the interim group financial statements. I am responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. I remain solely responsible for my audit opinion.
I communicate with the audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.
I also provide the audit committee with a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the audit committee, I determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the interim consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. I describe these matters in my auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Review reportI have reviewed the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income for the three-month period ended 30 June 2025 of CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited, respectively. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income in accordance with Thai Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Bank of Thailand notifications in relation to the preparation and presentation of financial reporting. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income based on my review.
Scope of reviewI conducted my review in accordance with the Thai Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion on the interim consolidated and separate statement of comprehensive income.
ConclusionBased on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the interim consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income for the three-month period ended 30 June 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Thai Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Bank of Thailand notifications in relation to the preparation and presentation of financial reporting.

Revenue recognition
Interest and discount on loans
Interest income will be recognised at effective interest rate by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of loan to calculate the interest income except for the recognision interest income on loan when its principal or interest payment has become over three months past due or stage 3 loan account follow definition of TFRS 9 will be recognise at effective interest rate of the carrying amount after impairment.
Interest and dividends on investments
Interest income from investments is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. Dividend income from investments is recognised when the dividend payment is annouced.
Fees and services income
The Group recognises fees and services income when diverse range of services have been rendered to its customers.
Fee and services income is generally recognised on the completion of a transaction. Such fees include brokerage income, underwriting fees, collection fees, and other fees related to the completion of corporate finance transactions.
For a service that is provided over a year of time, fee and services income is recognised over the year during which the related service is provided or credit risk is undertaken. Such fees include the income from issuance of acceptances, avals and guarantees and management fees.
Gains (losses) on sale of investments
Gains (losses) on sale of investments are recognised as income/expenses on the transaction date.
Income from hire-purchase contracts
The subsidiaries calculate hire-purchase income using the effective interest rate method over the year of contracts. The subsidiaries recognise hire-purchase income on the same basis used for interest income on loans.
-
Expense recognition
Interest expenses
Interests on borrowings and deposits are recognised as expenses using the effective interest rate method.
Fees and service expenses and other expenses
Fee and service expenses and other expenses are recognised as expense on an accrual basis.
-
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand according to the BOT's Notification.
-
Financial instruments
Classification and measurements
The Group classifies its financial assets as follows:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through profit or loss (FVPL) or through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
those to be measured at amortised cost
The Group initially recognises a financial asset on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset, at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, except financial assets that are measured at FVPL whose transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) are measured at amortised cost. Interest income is included in interest income using the effective interest method. Any gain or loss on derecognition is presented in gains on investments, net and foreign exchange gains and losses is presented in gains on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item.
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows that represent SPPI and for selling are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except impairment gains or losses, interest income using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial assets is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss and recognised in gains on investments, net. Interest income is included in interest income. Impairment expenses are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on subsequent measurement is gains and losses is presented in gains on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group reclassifies debt instruments only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Equity instruments
All equity instruments held must be irrevocably classified to measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income without subsequent recycling to profit or loss. Dividends from such investment continue to be recognised in statement of comprehensive income as other operating income.
Loans of commercial banking business
Loans are generally stated at the outstanding principal less the allowance for expected credit losses. Loans held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial assets represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Hire-purchase receivables
Hire-purchase receivables are stated at net realisable value from the contractual amounts net of unearned hire-purchase income.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The Group assesses expected credit loss on a forward looking basis for its financial assets carried at FVOCI and at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, except lease receivables and other receivables which the Group applies the simplified approach in determining its expected credit loss.
Allowance for expected credit losses involves a three-stage expected credit loss impairment model. The stage dictates how the entity measures impairment losses which will be as the following stages:
Stage 1 - from initial recognition of a financial assets to the date on which the credit risk of the asset has not increased significantly relative to its initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognised equal to the credit losses expected to result from defaults occurring over the next 12 months.
Stage 2 - following a significant increase in credit risk relative to the initial recognition of the financial assets, a loss allowance is recognised equal to the credit losses expected over the remaining life of the asset.
Stage 3 - When a financial asset is considered to be credit-impaired, a loss allowance equal to full lifetime expected credit losses is to be recognised.
The Group measures the surplus reserve on the date of adoption for new financial reporting standards related to financial instruments by comparing the difference between allowance for expected credit losses according to requirement under new financial reporting standards related to financial instruments and total reserves that the Group had on 31 December 2019. In which, the Group will amortise the surplus reverse using the straight-line method over 5 years in accordance with notification number TorPorTor ForNorSor (23) Wor 1603/2562 to utilise surplus reserve from Bank of Thailand dated on 6 November 2019.
Since 1 January 2022, the Group did not amortise the surplus reserve in order to reserve for possible losses that may be occurred in the future, in accordance the Notification of the Bank of Thailand (BOT) no. SorNorSor 23/2561 on guidelines for loan staging and the setting of allowance for financial institutions, dated 31 October 2018 no. 5.8, which stated that the financial institutions may apply any guidelines that are more stringent than BOT's statements to classify loan stages or reserve an allowance on assets and financial commitment, or to derecognise assets.
The Group presents bad debt recoveries of loan to customers written-off as part of other income. Modification
The Group sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual cashflow. When this happens, the Group assesses whether the new terms are substantially different to the original terms or not. The Group does this by considering, among others, the following factors:
If the borrower is in financial difficulty, whether the modification merely reduces the contractual cash flows to amounts the borrower is expected to be able to pay.
Whether any substantial new terms are introduced, such as a profit share/equity-based return that substantially affects the risk profile of the loan.
Significant extension of the loan term when the borrower is not financial difficulty.
Significant change in the interest rate.
Change in the currency the loan is denominated in.
Insertion of collateral, other security or credit enhancements that significantly affect the credit risk associated with the loan.
If the terms are not substantially different, the renegotiation or modification does not result in derecognition, and the Group recalculates the gross carrying amount based on the revised cash flows of the financial assets and recognises a modification gain or loss in profit or loss. The new gross carrying amount is recalculated by discounting the modified cash flows at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets).
The Group will monitor debt restructuring without derecognition if the debtors can to repay in accordance with the debt restructuring contract for three consecutive months or three installment payment period, whichever period is longer. In which, it reflects that the status of debtors does not meet criteria for significant increase in credit risk. Eventually, the Group will consider reclassifying debtors' staging to 1 stage better. For example, the stage will be reclassified from Stage 2 to Stage 1.
However, regarding the debt restructuring for debtors in Stage 3; the monitoring repayment year will increase to be at least twelve installment payment period consecutively with no remaining principal and accrued interest due. After debtors have met the repayment criteria, it reflects the status of debtors does not meet criteria for significant increase in credit risk and can be reclassified as Stage 1 immediately.
If the terms are substantially different, the Group derecognises the original financial assets and recognises a new financial asset at fair value and recalculates a new effective interest rate for the asset. The date of renegotiation is consequently considered to be the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes, including for the purpose of determining whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred. However, the Group also assesses whether the new financial asset recognised is deemed to be credit-impaired at initial recognition, especially in circumstances where the renegotiation was driven by the debtor being unable to make the originally agreed payments. Difference in the carrying amount are also recognised in profit or loss as gain or loss on derecognition.
Derecognition other than on a modification
Financial assets, or a portion thereof, are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the assets have expired, or when they have been transferred and either
The Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, or
The Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the Group has not retained control.
The Group enters into transactions where it retains the contractual rights to receive cash flow from assets and assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to other entities and transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards. These transactions are accounted for as 'pass through' transfers that result in derecognition if the Group:
Has no obligation to make payments unless it collects equivalent amounts from assets;
Is prohibited from selling or pledging the assets; or
Has an obligation to remit any cash it collections from the assets without material delay.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities and equity
Financial instruments issued by the Group must be classified as financial liabilities or equity securities by considering contractual obligations.
Where the Group has an unconditional contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, it is considered a financial liability unless there is a predetermined or possible settlement for a fixed amount of cash in exchange of a fixed number of the Group's own equity instruments.
Where the Group has no contractual obligation or has an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset in settlement of the obligation, it is considered an equity instrument.
At initial recognition, the Group measures financial liabilities at fair value. The Group reclassifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
This classification is applied to derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition. Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss when and only the Group demonstrates that it falls within one (or more) of following three criteria;
When such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency
("accounting mismatch") that would otherwise arise,
When a group of financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and
When an instrument contains an embedded derivative that meets particular conditions.
Gain or losses on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are presented gain (losses)
on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities ( or part of financial liabilities) are derecognised when they are extinguished or when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired.
The exchange between the Group and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial modifications of terms of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new term including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
If an exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any cost or fees incurred are recognised as part of gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjusted the carrying amount of the liability and are amortised over remaining term of modified liability.
Financial guarantee
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of a) the amount of expected credit loss determined; and b) the amount initially recognised less the cumulative amount of income recognised.
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right of set-off and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns though its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measured are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognise and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
Properties for sale
Properties for sale consisting of immovable and movable assets are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value less estimated selling expenses of the acquisition assets. Where the carrying value of properties for sale incurred impairment, the Group will recognise the provision for impairment of properties for sale in total.
The Group will recognise gain (loss) on sales of properties for sale as income or expenses in the whole amount in accordance with the notifications of the Bank of Thailand.
-
Premises, equipment and depreciation
Land and buildings comprise mainly office buildings and are shown at fair value based on every 5 years valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. All other equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and building are credited to statement of comprehensive income and shown as gain on asset revaluation in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in other comprehensive income and debited against gain on asset revaluation directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from 'gain on asset revaluation' to retained earnings.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost
(and the revalued amount) to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings 20 - 50 years
Buildings Improvement 5 years
Vehicle and equipment 5 years
At the end of each reporting year, the assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate.
The asset's carrying amount is written-down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 2.12 to the interim financial statements ).

Right-of-use assets
The Group has leases which the rental contract are typically made for fixed years of 1 to 15 years but may have extension options. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease year so as to produce a constant yearic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each year. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Right of use assets and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value of rental payment which consist of:
fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
any initial direct costs, and
restoration costs.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise of space for board and money exchange office.

Intangible assets
Computer software
Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of 5 years and 10 years.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of Identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
It is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use or sale;
Management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
There is an ability to use or sell the software product;
It can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and
The expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
-
Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in gains on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss .
When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit and loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit and loss.

Derivatives and hedging activities
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting is initially recognised at fair value. Changes in the fair value are included in gains or losses on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting year. The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
hedges of the fair value of i) recognised assets or liabilities or ii) unrecognised firm commitments
(fair value hedges)
hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of i) recognised assets and liabilities and ii) highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); or
At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents i) the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items and ii) its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships and movements in the hedging reserve in shareholders' equity are shown in note 8.
Hedge effectivenessHedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through yearic prospective effectiveness assessments, to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
The Group enters into interest rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amount. The Group does not hedge 100% of its loans, therefore the hedged item is identified as a proportion of the outstanding loans up to the notional amount of the swaps. As all critical terms matched during the year, there is an economic relationship.
Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps is assessed using the same principles as for hedges of foreign currency purchases. It may occur due to:
the credit value/debit value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the loan, and
differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and loans.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognised in the gains on fair value of hedging instruments for cash flow hedges within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss within gains on financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group reclassified particular accumulated hedge amounts in equity to profit or loss in the same years as the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging floating rate loan, credit link debentures, credit link notes, and subordinated debentures is recognised in profit or loss within interest income or interest expense at the same time as the interest income or interest expense on the hedged item.

Embedded derivatives
The Group records embedded derivatives in compliance with the Bank of Thailand's Notification as follows:
If the economic characteristics and risks of an embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic and risk of host contract, the Group will separately account the embedded derivative from the host contract and measure the embedded derivative at fair value including a gain/loss in the statements of comprehensive income. The host contract will be accounted for under the related accounting standards. In case of the Group is unable to measure the embedded derivative separately, the Group will designate the entire hybrid contract as at fair value (based on arranger's price) included in the statements of comprehensive income.
If the economic characteristics and risks of an embedded derivative are closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, the Group will not separately account the embedded derivative from the host contract and classify the host contract under the related accounting standards.
-
Financial liabilities measured at fair value
Financial liabilites at fair value are recognised at fair value and derecognised when extinguished.
Measurement is initially at fair value, Day 1 Profit from fair value will be amortised as income using straight-line method until maturity or at early termination. Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities, measured at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as gain or loss on financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit loss. Except the portion of the fair value change due to own credit would be recognised in other comprehensive income. When matured, the fair value changes due to own credit are transferred to retained earnings.
-
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value, less transaction costs incurred.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent that there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the year of the facility to which it relates.

Employee benefits and pension fund
Defined contribution plan
The Group operates a provident fund that is a defined contribution plan, the assets of which are held in a separate trust fund managed by external fund manager. The provident fund is funded by payments from employees and by the Group. Contributions to the provident fund are charged to the statements of comprehensive income in the year to which they relate.
Defined benefit plan
The Group has a policy to pay post-employment benefits to employees under the labour law applicable in Thailand.
The Group set provisions for employee benefits which comprises post-employment benefits under the labour law applicable in Thailand and pension fund.
The provision in respect of employee's benefits is measured, using the projected unit credit method which is calculated by an independent actuary in accordance with the actuarial technique. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using yield on the government bonds which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of related liability. The estimated future cash flows shall reflect employee salaries, turnover rate, mortality, length of service and others. Actuarial gains and losses arise from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions. Actuarial gains and losses are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statements of changes in equity / presented as a separate item in statements of changes in equity.

Share-based payment
The Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of CIMB Group Holding Berhad, which is listed on the stock exchange of Malaysia. The Group has established share-based payment plans for their employees, cosisting of two plans:
Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP)LTIP is considered as equity-settled share-based payment transaction, measured at fair value on the grant date. The fair value determined on the grant date is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The Group reviews the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision, if any, in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Additionally, the Group has a recharge agreement with CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, under which the Group is required to repay the market value on the grant date as well as subsequent movements in fair value of those awards at the time of delivery to its employees.
Equity Ownership Plan (EOP)At the grant date, the Group records advance payment transaction in equity for the whole amount with fair value refers to market price on the same day of the ordinary shares of CIMB Group Holdings Berhad multiplies with the number of shares granted to the employees. The Group paid the amount to the related company in Malaysia which will purchase, own the shares until the transfer date on behalf of the Bank and other companies in the Group. At the end of each reporting year, the Group recorded share base payment reserve as the proportion of time of the vesting period in equity.
