Contingent liabilities, commitments and derivatives (continued)
Off-balance sheet financial instruments arise from futures, forward, swap and
option transactions undertaken in the foreign exchange, interest rate and equity
markets.
The contract amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions
outstanding at the balance sheet date and do not represent amounts at risk. The
credit equivalent amount of these instruments is measured as the sum of positive
mark-to-market values and the potential future credit exposure in accordance
with the Third Schedule of the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance.

not been subject to any bilateral netting arrangement.
Segmental analysis
Segmental information is presented in respect of business and geographical
segments. Business segment information, which is more relevant to Hang Seng in
making operating and financial decisions, is chosen as the primary reporting
format.
For the purpose of segmental analysis, the allocation of revenue reflects the
benefits of capital and other funding resources allocated to the business or
geographical segments by way of internal capital allocation and funds transfer
pricing mechanisms. Cost allocation is based on the direct cost incurred by the
respective segments and apportionment of management overheads. Rental charges at
market rate for usage of premises are reflected as inter-segment income for the
'Other' segment and inter-segment expenses for the respective business segments.
(a) By business segment
Hang Seng comprises five business segments. Personal financial services provides
banking (including deposits, credit cards, mortgages and other retail lending)
and wealth management services (including insurance and investment) to personal
customers. Commercial banking manages middle market and smaller corporate
relationships and provides trade-related financial services. Corporate and
institutional banking handles relationships with large corporate and
institutional customers. Treasury engages in interbank and capital market
activities and proprietary trading. Treasury also manages the funding and
liquidity positions of the bank and other market risk positions arising from
banking activities. Other mainly represents management of shareholders' funds
and investments in premises, investment properties and long-term equities.
Personal financial services reported profit before tax of HK$3,038 million, a
growth of 2.2 per cent compared with the same period last year. Net interest
income fell by 4.4 per cent, as average mortgage yields fell, and there was a
contraction in the GHOS mortgage portfolio. This was partly offset by the growth
in savings and current accounts. Other operating income rose by 30.9 per cent.
Wealth management services remained a growth driver, with the contribution from
investment services and insurance business rising by 37.0 per cent and 37.6 per
cent respectively. Sales of retail investment funds, including the popular Hang
Seng Investment Series, increased by 48.8 per cent. Total funds under management
by Hang Seng's asset management and private banking business units grew by
HK$7.7 billion, or 18.8 per cent, to HK$48.3 billion at 30 June 2003.
Commercial banking reported a growth of 13.0 per cent in profit before tax to
HK$652 million. The results benefited from the increase in fee income, mainly
trade services related, and the substantial release in bad debt provisions.
Although customer advances grew by 13.7 per cent, mainly due to improved
external trade, net interest income was affected by the compression in lending
and deposit spreads.
Corporate and institutional banking suffered a decline of 24.2 per cent in
profit before tax to HK$364 million as corporate lending spreads declined and
credit facilities income fell, and was also affected by the reduction in release
of provisions for bad and doubtful debts.
Treasury achieved profit before tax of HK$1,100 million, a growth of 6.3 per
cent over the same period last year. Net interest income rose by 4.4 per cent as
more funds were re-deployed from interbank placings to capital market
investments for enhancement of interest yield, while the fixed rate debt
securities portfolio continued to benefit under a low interest rate environment.
Other operating income increased by 41.6 per cent, mainly in foreign exchange
income. Profit on disposal of debt securities from the investment portfolio,
however, was lower.
Other showed a decline of 15.1 per cent in profit before tax, mainly
attributable to the reduction in contribution from net free funds due to the
further decline in market interest rates and the deficit on revaluation of
properties. This was partly offset by an increase in profits on disposal of
long-term equities.

Cross border claims
Cross border claims include receivables and loans and advances, balances due
from banks and holdings of certificates of deposit, bills, promissory notes,
commercial paper and other negotiable debt instruments and also include accrued
interest and overdue interest on these assets. Claims are classified according
to the location of the counterparties after taking into account the transfer of
risk. For a claim guaranteed by a party situated in a country different from the
counterparty, the risk will be transferred to the country of the guarantor. For
a claim on the branch of a bank or other financial institution, the risk will be
transferred to the country where its head office is situated. Claims on
individual countries or areas, after risk transfer, amounting to 10 per cent or
more of the aggregate cross border claims are shown as follows:

Additional information
1. Accounting policies
This news release has been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting
policies adopted in the 2002 financial statements except for the following.
Income Tax
In prior years, deferred tax liabilities were provided for using the liability
method in respect of the taxation effect arising from all material timing
differences between the accounting and tax treatment of income and expenditure,
which were expected with reasonable probability to crystallise in the
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets were not recognised unless their
realisation was assured beyond reasonable doubt. With effect from 1 January
2003, Hang Seng has changed its policy for deferred tax in order to comply with
Hong Kong Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 12 (revised) (HKSSAP 12) on
'Income Taxes' issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. Details of the
new policy are set out in the note on Taxation on page 18.
The major components of deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded in the
consolidated balance sheet, and the movements during the first half of 2003
showing the impact of the adoption of HKSSAP 12, are as follows:

At 30Jun03 25 654 (193) 60 546
The balances of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2003 were HK$55 million and HK$601 million
respectively (HK$73 million and HK$635 million respectively at 31 December
2002).
The adoption of HKSSAP 12 represents a change in accounting policy which has
been applied retrospectively. The change in accounting policy has been reflected
by way of a prior period adjustment and the comparative figures for 2002 have
been restated to conform with the current period's presentation accordingly.

2. Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current
period's presentation.
3. Property revaluation
A revaluation of Hang Seng's premises and investment properties in the Hong Kong
SAR was performed in June 2003 to reflect property market movements in the first
half of 2003. The valuation was conducted by Chesterton Petty Limited, an
independent professional valuer, and carried out by qualified valuers who are
members of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. The basis of valuation of
premises was open market value for existing use. The basis of the valuation for
investment properties was open market value. Of the total revaluation deficit of
HK$768 million arising from the June revaluation, HK$720 million was accounted
for as a reduction in property revaluation reserves while the balance of HK$48
million, representing the reduction in value below the original acquisition cost
(less depreciation) of bank premises was charged to the profit and loss account
for the first half of 2003.
4. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the movements in interest rates, foreign exchange
rates or equity and commodity prices will result in profits or losses to Hang
Seng. Market risk arises on financial instruments which are valued at current
market prices (mark-to-market basis) and those valued at cost plus any accrued
interest (accrual basis). Hang Seng's market risk arises from customer-related
business and from position taking.
Market risk is managed within risk limits approved by the Board of Directors.
Risk limits are set by product and risk type with market liquidity being a
principal factor in determining the level of limits set. Limits are set using a
combination of risk measurement techniques, including position limits,
sensitivity limits, as well as value at risk (VAR) limits at a portfolio level.
Hang Seng adopts the risk management policies and risk measurement techniques
developed by the HSBC Group. The daily risk monitoring process measures actual
risk exposures against approved limits and triggers specific action to ensure
the overall market risk is managed within an acceptable level.
VAR is a technique which estimates the potential losses that could occur on risk
positions taken due to movements in market rates and prices over a specified
time horizon and to a given level of confidence. The model used by Hang Seng
calculates VAR on a variance/covariance basis, using historical movements in
market rates and prices, a 99 per cent confidence level and a 10-day holding
period, and generally takes account of correlations between different markets
and rates. The movement in market prices is calculated by reference to market
data for the last two years. Aggregation of VAR from different risk types is
based upon the assumption of independence between risk types.
Hang Seng has obtained approval from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) for
the use of its VAR model to calculate market risk for capital adequacy
reporting. The HKMA is also satisfied with Hang Seng's market risk management
process.
Hang Seng's VAR for all interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk positions
and on individual risk portfolios during the first halves of 2003 and 2002 are
shown in the tables below.

The average daily revenue earned from market risk-related treasury activities
for the first half of 2003, including accrual book net interest income and
funding related to dealing positions, was HK$8 million (HK$8 million for the
first half of 2002). The standard deviation of these daily revenues was HK$4
million (HK$4 million for the first half of 2002). No loss was recorded out of
121 trading days in the first half of 2003. The most frequent result was a daily
revenue of between HK$6 million and HK$10 million, with 103 occurrences. The
highest daily revenue was HK$29 million.
Hang Seng's foreign exchange exposures mainly comprise foreign exchange dealing
by Treasury and currency exposures originated by its banking business. The
latter are transferred to Treasury where they are centrally managed within
foreign exchange position limits approved by the Board of Directors. The average
one-day foreign exchange profit for the first half of 2003 was HK$2 million
(HK$2 million for the first half of 2002).
Interest rate risk arises in both the treasury dealing portfolio and accruals
books, which are managed by Treasury under limits approved by the Board of
Directors. The average daily revenue earned from treasury-related interest rate
activities for the first half of 2003 was HK$6 million (HK$6 million for the
first half of 2002).
5. Foreign currency positions
Foreign currency exposures include those arising from dealing, non-dealing and
structural positions. At 30 June 2003, the US dollar was the only currency in
which Hang Seng had a non-structural foreign currency position which exceeded 10
per cent of the total net position in all foreign currencies.

6. Material related-party transactions
(a) Immediate holding company and fellow subsidiary companies
During the first half of 2003, Hang Seng entered into transactions with its
immediate holding company and fellow subsidiary companies in the ordinary course
of its interbank activities including the acceptance and placement of interbank
deposits, correspondent banking transactions and off-balance sheet transactions.
The activities were priced at the relevant market rates at the time of the
transactions. Hang Seng participated, in its ordinary course of business, in
certain structured finance deals arranged by its immediate holding company.
Hang Seng used the IT and shared an automated teller machine network with its
immediate holding company and used certain processing services of a fellow
subsidiary on a cost recovery basis. Hang Seng also maintained a staff
retirement benefit scheme for which a fellow subsidiary company acts as insurer
and administrator, and acted as agent for the marketing of Mandatory Provident
Fund products for a fellow subsidiary company.
The aggregate amount of income and expenses arising from these transactions
during the period, the balances of amounts due to and from the relevant related
parties, and the total contract sum of off-balance sheet transactions at the
period-end are as follows:
