Under the terms of the acquisition, non-performing loans (NPLs) of THB 35.24 billion ($849 million) are subject to a Loan Management Agreement (LMA) with the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF), a Thai Government agency. Under the LMA, the FIDF has guaranteed the recovery of a principal amount of the NPLs of THB 23 billion ($554 million). The LMA also provides, inter alia, for loss sharing arrangements whereby the FIDF will bear up to 85 per cent of losses in excess of the guaranteed amount. The carrying cost of the NPLs is reimbursable by the FIDF to SCNB, every half year, for a period of five years from the date of acquisition. Excluding the SCNB non-performing loan portfolio, specific provisions and interest in suspense together cover 48 per cent (30 June 2001: 50 per cent; 31 December 2001: 45 per cent) of total non-performing lending to customers. If lending and provisions are adjusted for the cumulative amounts written off of $1,645 million (30 June 2001: $1,362 million; 31 December 2001: $1,574 million), the effective cover is 69 per cent (30 June 2001: 68 per cent; 31 December 2001: 67 per cent). 11.

Change in accounting policies. Financial Reporting Standard 19 - Deferred Tax ('FRS 19') is effective for accounting periods ending on or after 23 January 2002, and the Group adopted FRS19 in the current period. It specifies the provisions that are required for deferred tax, which are on a different basis to its predecessor, Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 15. The adjustments have no effect on current or prior periods tax charge but affect the Deferred Tax balances, and Reserves. The brought forward balances at 1 January 2001 have been restated as follows: the Deferred Tax Asset balance is increased by $156 million, the Profit and Loss Reserves balance is increased by $140 million and the Premises Revaluation Reserve is increased by $16 million. In February 2002, the Urgent Issues Task Force issued Abstract 33 (UITF 33) - 'Obligations in Capital Instruments'. This reviewed the classification of instruments that have the characteristics of both liabilities and shareholders' funds and provided further guidance on the accounting treatment of these issues. In 2001, the £300 million 8.103 per cent Step-up Callable Perpetual Trust Preferred Securities and the Eur500 million 8.16 per cent non-cumulative Trust Preferred Securities were treated as minority interests (non-equity) in the consolidated accounts of Standard Chartered PLC, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 4 - Capital Instruments. As a result of complying with UITF 33 the instruments have been reclassified from minority interests (non-equity) to liabilities. The restatement of principal balances for the six months ended 30 June 2002, 30 June 2001 and 31 December 2001 are $951 million, $845 million and $878 million respectively. The associated minority interest payable reclassified to interest payable are $36 million, $23 million and $36 million for the six months ended 30 June 2002, 30 June 2001 and 31 December 2001 respectively. Comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2001 and 31 December 2001 are restated to reflect these changes to accounting policy. Independent review report by KPMG Audit Plc to Standard Chartered PLC Introduction We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information set out on pages 30 to 45 and we have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where they are to be changed in the next annual accounts, in which case any changes and the reasons for them are to be disclosed. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/ 4: Review of interim financial information issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of Group management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months ended 30 June 2002.
