At 30 June 2001, under the terms of the acquisition, net non-performing loans (NPLs) of $756 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 $508 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 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 50 per cent (30.06.00: 56 per cent, including provisions held against enhanced and other performing emerging markets debt, 31.12.00: 55 per cent) of total non-performing lending to customers. If lending and provisions are adjusted for the cumulative amounts written off, the effective cover is 68 per cent (30.06.00: 63 per cent including provisions held against enhanced and other performing emerging markets debt, 31.12.00: 69 per cent). 14.
