Mission

Dear Shareholders,

The year 2007 marked a new era for Vietnam’s economy

when it officially became a World Trade Organization (WTO)

member. The country’s socio-economic accomplishments

have been attributed to the reform process in which its WTO’s

membership played an important role. One year is inadequate

to perceive major results in the market but few achievements

have already been recognized.

Since WTO’s accession, the country’s Gross Domestic Product

(GDP) grew 8.5% and the aggregate investment increased

by 15.8% to VND 461,900 billion; an equivalent to GDP of

40.4%. Foreign capital attracted a phenomenal record high

of US$ 20.3 billion, exceeding the US$ 12 billion benchmark

set in 2006.

With the increase in foreign capital, many foreign investors

have kept a close watch on the local market and are open

to entering business opportunities. Vietnamese banks, in

their efforts to sharpening their competitive edge, have made

thorough preparations such as improving commercial bank

system, and increasing financial capacity, among many

others. In due course, Vietnam will permit foreign banks to

set up wholly foreign-owned banks in the country which will

pave way to rigorous competition because foreign financial

institutes will eventually enjoy the national treatments.

Chairman’s Message

In 2007, ABBANK had strong support

from staff and shareholders which made

impressive results in the market. Until 31

December 2007, the Bank’s chartered

capital was VND 2,300 billion while its total

assets manifested six-folds to VND 17,500

billion. Total deposits and outstanding loans

amounted to around VND 6,800 billion

each; pretax taxes received thrice more

than previous year which stood at VND

230,76 billion. To-date, ABBANK expanded

the number of representative offices from

14 in 2006 to 54 by the end of 2007. It is

commendable that all the new offices have

successfully started operations in a short

timeframe.

In November 2007, ABBANK enhanced

its technology by launching T24 system

as its core banking software. The T24 is

expected to increase the bank’s customer

base, introduce new products, improve

customer-service and reduce operating

costs. Moreover, ABBANK’s Banking Card

Projects in debit and store card services

are expected to make more domestic and

international credit card issuances in the

future.

In addition, following the guideline of the

General Shareholder Meeting 2007, the

Board of Management and the Board

of Directors has spent much effort to

research, assess and select strategic

foreign partners by various criteria but the

first priority is for those who could help

ABBANK increase its competitiveness in

the financial market. To date, the BOM

and the Bank’s negotiators has decided

to choose Maybank to be the first strategic

foreign shareholder of ABBANK. MayBank

is one of the leading banks in Malaysia and

in the region as well. This Malaysian bank

ranks 152 in the list of the world’s 1,000

big banks by The Banker’s Magazine. Its

market capitalization is USD13 billion, total

assets are USD82 billion with the biggest

network of 450 offices in Malaysia and

many others overseas. Maybank has 40

year experience in banking management,

high standard of employee discipline,

modern business culture and conformity

with oriental culture. This consolidates

ABBANK’s belief that the partnership

with Maybank shall be a good opportunity

for both sides and these two financial

institutions shall certainly build a sound

Based on the growth of 2007, the BOM

believe that with the support of shareholders,

customers, BOD, and employees, ABBANK

should be able to gain considerable

achievements in 2008. This will further bring

ABBAK name to a new heigth and continue to

contribute to the society at large.

On behalf of the BOM, I wish all shareholders,

customers a prosperous and happy new

year.

Sincerely

Vu Van Tien

relation to seize the opportunities and face

the challenges of Vietnam financial and

banking market.

Vietnam sets high targets for the economy

in 2008. However, we are also facing

great challenges such as the sign of an

over heated economy, high inflation rate,

decrease in property prices, and high credit

risk, etc.. To overcome the above mentioned

difficulties, a series of measures must be

taken including the application of flexible

financial policies, the control of inflation,

the improvement of investment, and

strengthen the economic reform. As a bank,

we evaluate 2008 as a very challangeable

year to service the various economic

sectors and the gerneral economy.

Under such a circumstance, ABBANK’s

priorities for 2008 are to maintain the

existing growth rate, continute to enhance

the benefits from hi-tech application,

make full use of local and foreign strategic

partnership, narrow the gap with leading

joint-stock banks in Vietnam.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Vietnam is stepping into a new era of development which is marked by the event of joining the WTO. An Binh Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ABBANK) has also made a breakthrough to becoming one of the leading commercial banks in 2007.

2007 – The year of success and growth:

By the end of 2007, ABBANK gained its targets earlier to becoming one of the most dynamic commercial banks in Vietnam.

ABBANK’s total assets at the end of December 2007 were over VND 17,400 billion, up 551% against last year; chartered capital increased by 103%, to VND 2,300 billion; total outstanding loans stood at VND 6,800 billion, up 592%. Deposits from economic organizations and individuals jumped 438% to VND 6,900 billion, meanwhile profit also went up to VND 234 billion, 301% higher than 2006.

The year 2007 also acknowledged ABBANK’s network development in order to exploit market niches and create better conveniences for existing customers. The number of branches and transaction points was widened to 54 from 14 of 2006.

ABBANK in 2007 also successfully employed senior and middle management team who were trained in foreign countries with aggressive experience from senior positions in reputed local and overseas banks. New personnel rose to 1,200 persons, 288% up from last year among which young workers accounted for a considerable proportion. New

CEO’s Message

interns who had been strictly selected by the Bank were trained on professional and communication skills before being officially employed. The Bank in the mean time introduced competitive salary, bonus and promotion policies to absorb talents ensuring its employees’ benefits for long-term working.

Also in the year 2007, ABBANK shook hand with strategic partners for long-term cooperation such as Power Company No. 1 (PC1), Power Company No. 2 (PC2), Power Company No. 3 (PC3), Hanoi Power Company, Ho Chi Minh City Power Company, Agribank, Bach Viet Information Technology (BTI) etc. Besides, the Bank continually makes alliance with estate companies and other reputed enterprises to diversify and improve quality of the services.

In 2007, ABBANK effectively applied the management software Corebanking T24, developed its management system, switched store card and credit card, and connected to the database of Vietnam Electricity and Vietnam Electricity Telecom to collect electricity and water fares at the Bank’s transaction points.

Future strategy:

- Strengthening the customer base, focusing on small & medium import-export companies as well as individual customers.

- Diversifying competitive package products with high technology content.

- Orienting the business model to customers’ needs and satisfaction, ensuring the service quality based

on high technology, standard progress and its staff professionalism.

- Promoting ABBANK trademark, strengthening the recognition and confirming its name.

- Completing institutional and organizational structure, making full use of the effectiveness of the vertical management for the business group and supporting centers like marketing, personnel, IT, accounts, network development etc., and the horizontal management for network and customer development by geographic region.

On behalf of ABBANK, I would like to faithfully thank you very much for support and direction of the BOM, kind cooperation of shareholders and the best effort of all ABBANK’s staff during last year.

I believe ABBANK shall strongly develop in the next coming time together with the common development of the financial and banking industry.

Best regards,

Luu Duc KhanhCEO

Trading securities include securities which have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term and initially recognized at cost at the date of the transaction. They are subsequently measured at the lower of historical costs and market value, except for the case when the market value cannot be reliably justified then they are measured at cost less impairment, if any. Any impairment losses or decline in marketable value incurred are recognized in the statement of income.

2.5.2 Held-to-maturity securities

Held-to-maturity securities include securities with fixed or determinable amount of repayment and fixed maturity date, and the Bank has intention and ability to hold these securities until maturity. Theses are initially recognized at face value.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specific date in the future (repos) are not derecognized from the balance sheet. The corresponding cash received is recognized in the balance sheet as a “repurchase agreements” (if any), reflecting its economic substance as a loan to the Bank. The difference between the sale price and repurchase price is treated as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the interest rate stipulated in the contract.

Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specific date in the future (reverse repos) are not

recognized in the balance sheet. The corresponding cash paid is recognized in the balance sheet as a “reverse repurchase agreements” (if any). The difference between the purchase price and resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the straight-line interest rate method.

2.10 Foreign currency transactions

According to the chart of accounts for banks, the Bank maintains its accounting system and records all transactions in original currencies. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end are re-translated into VND using ruling exchange rates at the balance sheet date (see list of exchange rates of applicable foreign currencies against VND as at 31 December in Note 36). Income and expenses arising in foreign currencies during the year are converted into VND at rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Exchange differences of the re-translation of monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are recognized in the statement of income.

2.11 Enterprise income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted as at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purpose at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

• where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future

taxable profits will be available against which these differences can be utilized, except:

• where the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent

that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items recognized directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority and the Bank intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.





2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances with SBV, Treasury notes, and short-term valuable papers which can be rediscounted, short-term investments with maturity of less than 3 months from the purchase date, balances with other credit institutions with maturity of less than 3 months from the transaction date.

2.13 Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.14 Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities. These estimates and assumptions also affect the income and expenses and the resultant provisions. Such estimates are necessarily based on assumptions involving varying degrees of subjectivity and uncertainty and actual results may differ resulting in future changes in such provisions.

2.15 Employee benefits

Post employment benefits

Post employment benefits are paid to retired employees of the Bank by the Social Insurance Agency which belongs to the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. The Bank is required to contribute to these post employment benefits by paying social insurance premium to the Social Insurance Agency at the rate of 15% of employee basic salaries on a monthly basis. The Bank has no further obligation to fund the post employment benefits of its employees.

Voluntary resignation and retrenchment benefits

Voluntary resignation benefits: The Bank has the obligation, under Section 42 of the Labor Code amended 29 November 2006, to pay allowance to voluntarily resigning employees, equal to half of one-month’s wages for each year of employment plus wage allowances (if any).

Retrenchment benefits: The Bank has the obligation, under Section 17 of the Labor Code, to pay allowance to employees who are retrenched as a result of organizational restructuring or technological changes. In such case, the Bank shall pay to employees an allowance for loss of work equivalent to the aggregate amount of one month’s wages for each year of employment, but no less than two months’ wages.

Although the obligations under Sections 17 and 42 are compulsory, the implementation of these Sections is subject to detailed guidance as issued by the Ministry of Finance in implementing circulars. In accordance with Circular 64/1999/TT-BTC dated 7 June 1999 and after that Circular 82/2003/TT-BTC dated 14 August 2003 by the Ministry of Finance which superseded Circular 64/1999/TT-BTC, banks are required to calculate retrenchment allowance from 1.00% to 3.00% p.a. on the basis salary of the employees; and the outstanding balance of employee termination reserve which was previously created at 10% from the profit after tax and after appropriation of supplementary capital reserve in accordance with the guidance of Circular 64/1999/TT-BTC should be transferred to retrenchment allowance as allowed under Circular 82/2003/TT-BTC.

In 2007, the Bank has recorded a provision for voluntary resignation benefits in compliance with Article 42 of Labor Code.

Enterprise Income Tax

The Bank has the obligation to pay enterprise income tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 28% of taxable profit.

The Bank’s tax returns are subject to examination by the tax authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations, the amounts reported in the financial statements could be changed at a later date upon final determination by the tax authorities.




18. STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (continued)

18.1 Current EIT

The current EIT payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years due to the difference between accounting and tax regulations and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Bank’s liability for current EIT is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date.

Current EIT expense for the year was calculated as follows:

2007 2006 VNDm VNDm

Profit before tax 230,766 80,760Add: Additional tax and administration fines paid 510 - Expenses not related to taxable revenue and income 1,458 - Allowance for the Board of Management 1,630 - Unrealised foreign exchange loss 1,235 -

Taxable profit 235,599 80,760

EIT expense at rate of 28% 65,968 22,613Addtitional tax to be paid as per tax finalisation 3,049 -

EIT expense for the year 69,017 22,613

18.2. Deferred tax

There was no deferred tax recognized in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 since there were no temporary differences between the carrying value and the tax base of assets and liabilities.

31. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with items that are recorded off-balance sheet. These financial instruments mainly comprise financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit (“L/C”). These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet.

Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because any other party to a financial instrument fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party including guarantee for borrowings, settlement, performing contracts and bidding. The credit risk involved in issuing guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending facilities to other customers.

Commercial at sight letters of credit represent a financing transaction by the Bank to its customer where the customer is usually the buyer/importer of goods and the beneficiary is typically the seller/exporter. Credit risk is limited as the merchandise shipped serves as collateral for the transaction.

Deferred payment letters of credits represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn upon and the client defaults in repayment to the beneficiary. Deferred payment letters of credit that were defaulted by clients are recognized by the Bank as granting of a compulsory loan with a corresponding liability representing the financial obligation of the Bank to pay the beneficiaries and to fulfill the guarantor obligation.




31. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS (continued)

The Bank requires margin deposits to support credit-related financial instruments when it is deemed necessary. The margin deposit required varies from nil to 100% of the value of a commitment granted, depending on the creditworthiness of clients as assessed by the Bank.

The outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities as at 31 December were as follows:

2007 2006 VNDm VNDm Payment guarantee 71,004 85,231Performance guarantee 100,057 82,183Bidding guarantee 25,299 21,231Letter of Credit 282,928 286,090Other guarantee 41,082 26,878Other commitments 60,390 10,215 580,760 511,828Less margin deposits (54,734) (2,832)Contingent liabilities 526,026 508,996
