As at 31 December 2006 liabilities of the Bank increased 97.0% to KZT 2,810.4 billion from KZT1,106.6 billion as at the year end 2005 as a result of growth in international interbank financing, eurobond issues and increase in customer deposits.

The Bank issued SGD100 million 4.25% due 2009 eurobond in February 2006, EUR300 million 5.125% due 2011 eurobond in May 2006 and US$500 million 7.5% due 2016 eurobond in November 2006.
Loans and advances received from banks increased 2.3 folds to KZT884.3 billion as at 31 December 2006 from KZT379.2 billion as at 31 December 2005. In August 2006 the Bank raised a U.S.$850 million syndicated loan organised by ING Bank and in December 2006 raised a U.S.$1 billion syndicated loan organised by Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, ING Unit Credit and Standard Chartered Bank.
The Bank’s outstanding subordinated debt amounted to KZT78.9 billion as at 31 December 2006 from KZT52,213 million as at 31 December 2005. The KZT26.7 billion (2.4 folds) increase in 2006 was due to the Bank’s issuance of U.S.$200 million 8.625 per cent. subordinated loan participation notes in July 2006.
Other borrowed funds increased to KZT68.8 billion as at 31 December 2006 compared to KZT50.6 billion as at 31 December 2005. The increase in 2006 was primarily as a result of an issue in December 2005 of two tranches of floating rate notes totalling U.S.$200 million as part of the Bank’s future flow securitisation of its diversified payment rights.
Customer accounts is an important source of funding and the Bank actively works in the domestic deposit market offering competitive terms. Customer accounts increased 126.7% to KZT687.8 billion as at 31 December 2006.

The Bank’s shareholders’ equity increased 3.1 folds to KZT248.7 billion as at 31 December 2006 compared to KZT81.3 billion as at 31 December 2005. The increase as at 31 December 2006 was due to a public placement of the Bank’s Shares on the London Stock Exchange by existing shareholders in November 2006 followed by domestic offer of the Bank’s Shares among existing shareholders as well as KZT27.8 billion net profit earned during 2006.
Financial results
In 2006 the Bank generated net profit in the amount of KZT29.6 billion (including profit attributable to equity holders of the parent in the amount of KZT27.8 billion) as compared to KZT19.8 billion in 2005 (including profit attributable to equity holders of the parent in the amount of KZT18.4 billion). Net profit attributable to the parent increased by 51.2%. Higher than previously profit is a result of growth in both net interest income (37.5%) and net non-interest income (98.8%).
Net non-interest income increased by KZT8.5 billion to KZT31.2 billion in 2006.
During 2006, total interest income increased by 70.4% to KZT147.2 billion from KZT86.4 billion in 2005. This growth is primarily a result of the 70.4% growth in the Bank's average interest earning assets to KZT1,246 billion for the year ended 31 December 2006 from KZT731 billion for the year ended 31 December 2005.
Interest income from loans to customers continued to comprise the largest share of interest income. Its share as a percentage of total interest income for the year ended 31 December 2006 remained almost unchanged at the level of 88.6% compared to 88.3% for the year ended 31 December 2005. Interest on loans to customers grew by 71.1%. This growth was caused by significant increase in the average gross volume of loans to customers to KZT1,015 billion for the year ended 31 December 2006 compared to KZT580 billion for the year ended 31 December 2005.
Interest income from loans and advances to banks including reverse repurchase agreements increased 76.6% to KZT6.9 billion for the year ended 31 December 2006, compared to KZT3.9 billion for the year ended 31 December 2005. Its share in total interest income changed insignificantly and was 4.7% in 2006 compared to 4.6% in 2005. The KZT 3.0 billion (1.8 folds) increase in interest income on loans and advances to banks in 2006 was primarily due to an increase in average interest rates from 4.11% in 2005 to 5.75 per cent. in 2006 as a result of an increase in LIBOR as well as a 19% (KZT17.8 billion) increase in average gross volume of loans and advances to banks.
Interest expense increased by 81.3%, or KZT37.3 billion largely as a result of a 78.4% growth in average interest bearing liabilities for the year ended 31 December 2006 to KZT1,201 billion from KZT673 billion for the year ended 31 December 2005 as well as a result of increase in cost of interest bearing liabilities to 6.87% in 2006 from 6.71% in 2005.
Provisions for impairment losses increased by 84.4% to KZT32.9 billion in the year ended 31 December 2006 from KZT17.8 billion in the year ended 31 December 2005. The growth was mainly attributable to 2.2 folds (KZT945.8 billion) increase in the gross loan portfolio as at 31 December 2006. Despite the growth of gross loans and the amount of provisions on loans to customers, the effective rate of provisions on loans to customers fell to 4.3% for 2006 from 5.5% for 2005. This is a result of improvement of economic situation in Kazakhstan as well as overall improvement of quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio.
Net non interest income increased by 98.9% to KZT29.0 billion for the year ended 31 December 2006 from KZT14.6 billion for the year ended 31 December 2005.
The structure of net non-interest income slightly changed in 2006. Net fee and commission income continued to be the main component of net non-interest income. Its share in net non-interest income was 54.8% in 2006 compared to 64.6% in 2005. The share of net gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss increased to 15.7% in 2006 from 5.8% in 2005. Net gain on foreign exchange operations, securities and precious metals increased as a percentage of net non-interest income to 18.7% in 2006 from 10.9% in 2005.
The Bank continues to rapidly grow and improve its activities in accordance with international standards. This requires heavy investments in branch network development, staff, information technologies, development and introduction of new banking products.
Operating expenses increased by 34.9% to KZT18.0 billion in the year ended 31 December 2006 from KZT13.4 billion in the year ended 31 December 2005. However, as a result of stronger growth in operating incomes, operating expenses as a percentage of operating income after provisions for loan losses in 2006 decreased to 30.0% from 35.9% in 2005.

According to National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan Regulation No.70 as of February 26, 2000 “on the minimum amount of capital reserves of second tier banks” the minimum amount of capital reserves should be not less than 5 per. sent of unclassified assets of the bank. Accordance to the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “on Joint Stock Companies” as of May 13, 2003 No.415-II requirements to minimum amount of capital reserves haven’t been regulated.
According to the Letter of Financial Management Service Authority (hereinafter – FMSA) No.02-03-41/867 as of March 19, 2004 the list of accounts based on the standard Card of accounts for second tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan, approved by the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan Regulation No.326 as of September 01, 2006 has been recommended. The Bank’s Administrative-economic operations and taxes department has considered the alterations and supplements of the Board of National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan as of February 03, 2006 No.23 to the Card of accounts in the second tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan when calculating the minimum amount of capital reserves of the Bank.
Taking into account that the requirement to the minimum capital reserves of the bank regulates by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the Board of National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan Resolution No.326 as of February 03, 2006) and FMSA (the Letter No.02-03-41/867 as of March 19, 2004) the Bank’s Administrative-economic operations and taxes department has used the form 700-H as of January 31, 2006 which has been formed for the regulatory supervision purposes to calculate the minimum capital reserves of the bank and where the sum on the unclassified asset accounts amounted to 57,110,173 thous. tenge (the calculation is the appendix No.1 to the above letter).

Minimum amount of capital reserves = 57,110,173 thous. tenge * 5% = 2,855,508.65 thous. tenge

As of now the capital reserves of the bank amounted to 2,015,508.65 thous. tenge which is not in compliance with National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan requirements. With this regard we propose to increase the amount of capital reserves on 840,069.65 thous. tenge. The amount of Tier I Capital will not change.
The remained net income after tax (taking into account decision on the 4th question of agenda) is proposed to capitalize and put it to retained earnings of previous years.

Voted:
“For” - 319 272 904;

Decided: allocate the net income of the Bank for the year 2006 in the following way:

(2) capitalize net income after tax (taking into account decision on the 4th question of agenda) and put it to retained earnings of previous years.
