Where debt securities have been purchased at a premium or discount, the carrying value of the security is adjusted to reflect the effective interest rate of the debt security taking into account such premium or discount. Amounts due from/to immediate holding company and fellow subsidiary companies At balance sheet dates, the amounts due from/to the bank's immediate holding company and fellow subsidiary companies included in the assets and liabilities balances of the consolidated balance sheet are as follows: Figures in HK$m At 31Dec07 At 31Dec06 Amounts due from: Cash and balances with banks and other financial institutions 861 1,665 Placings with and advances to banks and other financial institutions 5,777 4,573 Financial assets designated at fair value 3,672 2,842 Derivative financial instruments 386 194 Financial investments 909 1,023 Other assets 128 79 11,733 10,376 Amounts due to: Customer accounts 1,930 199 Deposits from banks 3,471 5,724 Derivative financial instruments 1,773 333 Subordinated liabilities 2,028 2,022 Other liabilities 316 473 9,518 8,751 Investments in associates Figures in HK$m At 31Dec07 At 31Dec06 Share of net assets 5,894 3,158 Goodwill 283 330 6,177 3,488 On 5 February 2007, Industrial Bank issued 1,001 million new shares in an IPO for a total consideration of RMB15,996 million. The bank did not subscribe for any additional shares and its interest in the equity of Industrial Bank therefore decreased from 15.98 per cent to 12.78 per cent. The dilution of investment resulted in a gain of HK$1,465 million, as represented in the increase in the bank's share of the net assets of Industrial Bank which had risen as a result of the issue of the new shares. The gain on dilution was recognised in the bank's income statement in 2007. The decrease of the bank's interest in the equity of Industrial Bank does not affect the bank's influence over this associate, as there has been no change in the composition of major shareholders in Industrial Bank or in the bank's representation on its Board of Directors or Executive Committee. The bank will continue to have the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of Industrial Bank, and will continue to account for its results using the equity method.

The notes were issued at the price of 99.868 per cent, bearing interest at the rate of three-month US dollar LIBOR plus 0.25 per cent, payable quarterly from the issue date to the call option date. Thereafter, if the notes are not redeemed on the call option date, the interest rate will be reset to three-month US dollar LIBOR plus 0.75 per cent payable quarterly. The notes, which qualify as supplementary capital, serve to help the bank maintain a more balanced capital structure and support business growth.

Retained profits rose by HK$3,829 million, reflecting the growth in attributable profit during the year. The premises revaluation reserve increased by HK$148 million, attributable to the improved property market. The available-for-sale investments reserve rose by HK$969 million, reflecting the buoyant equity market. Other reserves rose by HK$2,062 million, due mainly to the gain on the dilution of investment in Industrial Bank. The return on average shareholders' funds was 35.4 per cent, compared with 27.4 per cent in 2006, reflecting the strong profit growth recorded for 2007. Save for the issuance of subordinated notes of US$300 million, there was no purchase, sale or redemption by the bank, or any of its subsidiaries, of the bank's listed securities during 2007. Capital resources management Analysis of capital base and risk-weighted assets Figures in HK$m At 31Dec07 At 31Dec06 Capital base Core capital: - Share capital 9,559 9,559 - Retained profits 29,437 25,823 - Classified as regulatory reserve (911) (518) - Less: goodwill (283) (330) - Less: 50 per cent of total unconsolidated investments and other deductions (5,875) _ - Total core capital 31,927 34,534 Supplementary capital: - Fair value gains on the revaluation of property 3,466 4,259 - Fair value gains on the revaluation of available-for-sale investment and equity 823 542 - Collective impairment allowances 636 518 - Regulatory reserve 911 518 - Term subordinated debt 10,354 7,988 - Less: 50 per cent of total unconsolidated investments and other deductions (5,875) _ - Total supplementary capital 10,315 13,825 Unconsolidated investments and other deductions _ (4,242) Total capital base after deductions 42,242 44,117 Risk-weighted assets - Credit risk 342,798 321,677 - Market risk 2,166 2,330 - Operational risk 33,558 _ 378,522 324,007 Capital adequacy ratio 11.2% 13.6% Core capital ratio 8.4% 10.7% Capital ratios at 31 December 2007 were compiled in accordance with the Banking (Capital) Rules ('the Capital Rules') issued by the HKMA under section 98A of the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance for the implementation of the Basel II, which became effective on 1 January 2007. In accordance with the Capital Rules, the bank has adopted the 'standardised approach' for the calculation of the risk-weighted assets for credit risk and operational risk and the 'internal models approach' for the calculation of market risk. The bank has also obtained approval from the HKMA to adopt the 'foundation internal ratings-based approach' to calculate the risk-weighted assets for credit risk effective 1 January 2008. The basis of consolidation for calculation of capital ratios under the Capital Rules follows the basis of consolidation for financial reporting with the exclusion of subsidiaries which are 'regulated financial entities' (e.g. insurance and securities companies) as defined by the Capital Rules. Accordingly, the investment costs of these unconsolidated regulated financial entities are deducted from the capital base. The capital ratios at 31 December 2006 were compiled in accordance with the now repealed Third Schedule of the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance ('the Third Schedule') under the Basel I capital accord. As there are significant differences between the Capital Rules and the Third Schedule on requirements in the scope of consolidation and the calculation of capital base and risk weighted assets, the capital ratios are not directly comparable. In accordance with the HKMA guideline Impact of the New Hong Kong Accounting Standards on Authorised Institutions' Capital Base and Regulatory Reporting, the group has earmarked a 'regulatory reserve' of HK$911 million from retained profits. This regulatory reserve is included as supplementary capital together with the group's collective impairment allowances.
