STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Country Risk
Country Risk is the risk that a counterparty is unable to meet its contractual
obligations as a result of adverse economic conditions or actions taken by
governments in the relevant country.
The following table based on the Bank of England Cross Border Reporting (C1)
guidelines shows the Group's cross border assets including acceptances where
they exceed one per cent of the Group's total assets. Cross border assets
exclude facilities provided within the Group. They comprise loans and advances
interest bearing deposits with other banks trade and other bills acceptances
amounts receivable under finance leases certificates of deposit and other
negotiable paper and investment securities where the counterparty is resident in
a country other than that where the cross border asset is recorded. Cross border
assets also include exposures to local residents denominated in currencies other
than the local currency.

Market Risk
The Group recognises Market Risk as the exposure created by the potential
changes in market prices and rates. Market Risk arises on financial instruments
which are either valued at current market prices (mark to market) or at cost
plus any accrued interest (non-trading basis). The Group is exposed to market
risk arising principally from customer driven transactions.
STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Market Risk is supervised by the Group Risk Committee which agrees policies and
levels of risk appetite in terms of Value at Risk (VaR). A Group Market Risk
Committee sits as a specialist body to provide business level management
guidance and policy setting. Policies cover the trading book of the Group and
also market risks within the non-trading books. Limits by location and portfolio
are proposed by the business within the terms of agreed policy. Group Market
Risk agrees the limits and monitors exposures against these limits.
Group Market Risk augments the VaR measurement by regularly stress testing
aggregate market risk exposures to highlight potential risk that may arise from
extreme market events that are rare but plausible. In addition VaR models are
back tested against actual results to ensure pre-determined levels of accuracy
are maintained.
Additional limits are placed on specific instrument and currency concentrations
where appropriate. Factor sensitivity measures are used in addition to VaR as
additional risk management tools. Option risks are controlled through
revaluation limits on currency and volatility shifts limits on volatility risk
by currency pair and other underlying variables that determine the options'
value.
Value at Risk
The Group measures the potential impact of market prices and rates using Value
at Risk (VaR) models.
The total VaR for trading and non-trading books combined as at 31 December 2002
was $12.4 million. Of this total $11.3 million related to interest rate risk and
$1.1 million to exchange rate risk. The corresponding figures as at 31 December
2001 were $13.9 million and $1.5 million respectively.
The average total VaR for trading and non-trading books during the year was
$15.2 million (2001: $13.4 million) with a maximum exposure of $21.5 million.
The average level of risk was higher in 2002 than the prior year due to higher
market volatility post September 11th 2001.
The total VaR for market risks in the Group's trading book was $2.7 million at
31 December 2002 compared to $3.5 million a year earlier. Of this total $1.6
million related to interest rate risk and $1.1 million to exchange rate risk.
The corresponding figures as at 31 December 2001 were $2.1 million and $1.5
million respectively.
VaR for interest rate risk in the non-trading books of the Group totalled $10.6
million at 31 December 2002 compared to $11.6 million a year earlier.
The group has no significant trading exposure to equity or commodity price risk.
The average daily revenue earned from market-risk related activities including
asset and liability management was $3.4 million compared with $3.3 million
during 2001. An analysis of the frequency distribution of daily revenues shows
that there were no days with negative revenues during 2002. The most frequent
result was daily revenue of between $2.5 million and $3.0 million with 58
occurrences. The highest daily revenue was $7.1 million.
STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Foreign Exchange Exposure
The Group's foreign exchange exposures comprise trading and structural foreign
currency translation exposures.
Foreign exchange trading exposures are principally derived from customer driven
transactions. The average daily foreign exchange trading revenue during 2002 was
$1.2 million.
Interest Rate Exposure
The Group's interest rate exposures comprise trading exposures and structural
interest rate exposures. Interest rate risk arises on both trading positions and
non-trading books.
Structural interest rate risk arises from the differing re-pricing
characteristics of commercial banking assets and liabilities including
non-interest bearing liabilities such as shareholders' funds and some current
accounts.
The average daily interest rate revenue from market-risk related activities
during 2002 was $2.2 million.
Derivatives
Derivatives are contracts whose characteristics and value derive from underlying
financial instruments interest and exchange rates or indices. They include
futures forwards swaps and options transactions in the foreign exchange and
interest rate markets. Derivatives are an important risk management tool for
banks and their customers because they can be used to manage the risk of price
interest rate and exchange rate movements.
The Group's derivative transactions are principally in plain vanilla instruments
where the mark to market values are readily determinable by reference to
independent prices and valuation quotes or by using standard industry pricing
models. The total off balance sheet credit risk exposure to derivatives at 31
December 2002 was $9 783 million (2001: $7 517 million) based on net replacement
cost.
The Group enters into derivative contracts in the normal course of business to
meet customer requirements and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in
interest and exchange rates.
STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Only offices with sufficient product expertise and appropriate control systems
are authorised to undertake transactions in derivative products.
The credit risk arising from a derivative contract is calculated by taking the
cost of replacing the contract where its mark-to-market value is positive
together with an estimate for the potential change in the future value of the
contract reflecting the volatilities that affect it. The credit risk on
contracts with a negative mark-to-market value is restricted to the potential
future change in their market value. The credit risk on derivatives is therefore
usually small relative to their notional principal values.
The Group applies a potential future exposure methodology to manage counterparty
credit exposure associated with derivative transactions.
Liquidity Risk
The Group defines liquidity risk as the risk that funds will not be available to
meet liabilities as they fall due. At the local level in line with policy the
day to day monitoring of future cash flows takes place and suitable levels of
easily marketable assets are maintained by the businesses.
A substantial proportion of the Group's assets are funded by customer deposits
made up of current and savings accounts and other short-term deposits. These
customer deposits which are widely diversified by type and maturity represent a
stable source of funds. Lending is normally funded by liabilities in the same
currency and if other currencies are used the foreign exchange risk is usually
hedged.
Operational and Other Risks
Operational Risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss due to an event or
action causing failure of technology processes infrastructure personnel and
other risks having an operational impact. Standard Chartered seeks to minimise
actual or potential losses from Operational Risk failures through a framework of
policies and procedures that identify assess control manage and report risks.
An independent Group Operational Risk function is responsible for establishing
and maintaining the overall Operational Risk framework. The Group Operational
Risk function provides reports to the Group Risk Committee.
Compliance with Operational Risk policy is the responsibility of all managers.
In every country a Country Operational Risk Group (CORG) has been established.
It is the responsibility of the CORG to ensure appropriate risk management
frameworks are in place and to monitor and manage operational risk. CORGs are
chaired by Country Chief Executives.
Business units are required to monitor their Operational Risks using Group and
business level standards and indicators. Significant issues and exceptions must
be reported to the CORG. Where appropriate issues must also be reported to
Business Risk Committees and the Group Risk Committee.
Other risks recognised by the Group include Business Regulatory and Reputational
risks.
STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
CAPITAL
Standard Chartered's policy is to maintain a conservative balance sheet and
strong capital base. The Group Asset and Liability Committee targets Tier 1 and
Total capital ratios of 7 - 9 per cent and 12 - 14 per cent respectively. The
Group believes that being well capitalised is important.

STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
The Group identified improving the efficiency of capital management as a
strategic priority for 2002. A capital plan to achieve this has been developed.
This includes several key elements. In particular to reduce the amount of Tier 2
capital and to improve the overall capital mix within the broad target ratios.
In October 2002 Standard Chartered PLC listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The Company issued 35 million ordinary shares of $0.50 per share. The shares
were issued at HKD 84 per share raising $17.5 million of share capital and $328
million of share premium.
In November 2002 the Company repurchased 659 126 Non-cumulative Preference
Shares with a nominal value of $5 and issued at a price of $1 000 per Preference
Share. The Shares were repurchased at $1 110 per share together with an amount
to compensate for accrued dividend. The deduction from the share premium reserve
was restricted to the $328 million premium raised on the Hong Kong listing.

The Group acquired Standard Chartered Nakornthon Bank (SCNB) (formerly
Nakornthon Bank) in September 1999. Under the terms of the acquisition
non-performing loans (NPLs) of THB 39 billion ($904 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 THB 23 billion ($533 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 every half year
for a period of five years from the date of acquisition.
Excluding the SCNB non-performing loan portfolio subject to the LMA agreement
specific provisions and interest in suspense together cover 47 per cent (2001:
48 per cent) of total non-performing lending to customers. If lending and
provisions are adjusted for the cumulative amounts written off of $1 652 million
(2001: $1 574 million) the effective cover is 71 per cent (2001: 68 per cent).

$5 each. The shares were repurchased at a price of $1 110 per share. The total
premium paid on the buy back equated to $82 million. This however was partially
offset by a gain on unwinding the interest rate swaps hedging the position of
$57 million.

16. Change in accounting policies
Financial Reporting Standard 19 - Deferred Tax ('FRS 19') is effective for
accounting periods ending on or after 23 January 2002 and the Group adopted
FRS19 in the current period.
It specifies the provisions that are required for deferred tax which are on
a different basis to its predecessor Statement of Standard Accounting
Practice 15.
The adjustments have no effect on current or prior periods tax charge but
affect the Deferred Tax balances and Reserves. The brought forward balances
at 1 January 2001 have been restated as follows: the Deferred Tax Asset
balance is increased by $156 million the Profit and Loss Reserves balance is
increased by $140 million and the Premises Revaluation Reserve is increased
by $16 million.
In February 2002 the Urgent Issues Task Force issued Abstract 33 (UITF 33) -
'Obligations in Capital Instruments'. This reviewed the classification of
instruments that have the characteristics of both liabilities and
shareholders' funds and provided further guidance on the accounting
treatment of these issues.
In 2001 the £300 million 8.103 per cent Step-up Callable Perpetual Trust
Preferred Securities and the Eur500 million 8.16 per cent non-cumulative
Trust Preferred Securities were treated as minority interests (non-equity)
in the consolidated accounts of Standard Chartered PLC in accordance with
Financial Reporting Standard 4 - Capital Instruments.
As a result of complying with UITF 33 the instruments have been reclassified
from minority interests (non-equity) to liabilities. The restatement of
principal balances at 31 December 2001 is $878 million together with accrued
interest of $51 million and fee accruals of $11 million. The associated
minority interest payable reclassified to interest payable is $59 million
for the year ended 31 December 2001.
Comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2001 are restated to
reflect these changes to accounting policy.
17. Remuneration
The Group employed 29 400 staff at 31 December 2002 (2001: 28 400).
Within the authority delegated by the Board of Directors the Board Remuneration
Committee is involved in determining the remuneration policy of Standard
Chartered Group but specifically for agreeing the individual remuneration
packages for executive directors and other highly remunerated individuals. No
executive directors are involved in deciding their own remuneration.
The success of the Group depends upon the performance and commitment of talented
employees. The Group's remuneration policy is to:-
• Support a strong performance-oriented culture and ensure that individual
rewards and incentives relate directly to the performance of the individual
the operations and functions for which they are responsible the Group as a
whole and the interests of the shareholders; and
STANDARD CHARTERED PLC - NOTES (continued)
• Maintain competitive awards that reflect the international nature of the
Group and enable it to attract and retain talented employees of the highest
quality internationally.
In terms of applying this policy:
• Base salaries are set at the median of the Group's key international
competitors.
• Annual bonus awards are made wholly on the basis of Group and individual
performance and also an individual's adherence to the Group's values.
• Standard Chartered Group believes strongly in encouraging employee share
ownership at all levels in the organisation. The Group is proud to announce
that in 2002 50 per cent of employees globally participated in its all
employee sharesave scheme. In addition the Group operates certain
discretionary share plans which are designed to provide competitive
long-term incentives. Of these plans the Performance Share Plan and the
Executive Share Option Scheme are only exercisable upon the achievement of
tough performance criteria.
