The Group acquired Standard Chartered Nakornthon Bank (SCNB) (formerly
Nakornthon Bank) in September 1999. 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).
