NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our critical accounting policies are
described on pages 110 to 113.

1:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

i)  Basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report
complies with the accounts provisions of
the Banking Act 1959, applicable
Australian Accounting Standards, the
accounts provisions of the Corporations
Act 2001, Urgent Issues Group Consensus
Views and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board. Except as
disclosed below, these accounting
policies are consistent with those of the
previous year.

The financial report has been prepared in
accordance with the historical cost
convention as modified by the revaluation
of trading instruments which are recorded
at market value with gains and losses on
revaluation taken to the statement of
financial performance, and the deemed
cost of properties (deemed cost being the
carrying amount of revalued non-current
assets as at the date of reverting to the
cost basis per AASB 1041 - Revaluation of
Non Current Assets) less any accumulated
depreciation. 

The preparation of the financial report
requires the use of management
estimates. Such estimates may require
review in future periods.

The Company is a company of the kind
referred to in Australian Securities and
Investments Commission class order
98/100, dated 10 July 1998. Consequently,
amounts in the financial report have been
rounded to the nearest million dollars
except where otherwise indicated.

All amounts are expressed in Australian
dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Where necessary, amounts shown for the
previous year have been reclassified to
facilitate comparison.

ii)  Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in
accounting policies for the year ended
30 September 2005.

For reporting periods commencing 1
October 2005, the Group is required to
prepare financial statements using
Australian equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The
move to reporting under AIFRS represents
a major change to reporting processes
and will result in significant changes to
accounting policies. Refer to note 55 for a

6

detailed analysis of the impacts of
adopting AIFRS.

iii)  Consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the
financial statements of Australia and
New Zealand Banking Group Limited
(the Company) and its controlled entities.

Where controlled entities and associates
have been sold or acquired during the
year, their operating results have been
included to the date of disposal or from
the date of acquisition.

Control means the capacity of an entity to
dominate decision making, directly or
indirectly, in relation to the financial and
operating policies of another entity so as
to enable that other entity to pursue the
objectives of the controlling entity.

The capacity of an entity to dominate
decision making is usually present when
that entity has power over more than one-
half of the voting rights of the other entity;
power to govern the financial and
operating policies of the other entity;
power to appoint or remove the majority
of the members of the board of directors;
or power to cast the majority of votes at
meetings of the board of directors or
equivalent governing body of the entity.
However, all the facts of a particular
situation are considered when assessing
control.

The Group adopts the equity method of
accounting for associates and the Group’s
interest in joint venture entities.

The Group’s share of results of associates
and joint venture entities is included in
the consolidated statement of financial
performance. Shares in associates and
joint venture entities are stated in the
consolidated statement of financial
position at cost plus the Group’s share of
post acquisition net assets. Interests in
associates and joint ventures are reviewed
annually for impairment primarily using a
discounted cash flow methodology. In the
course of completing this valuation other
methodologies are considered to
determine the reasonableness of the
valuation including the multiples of
earnings methodology. 

All significant activities of the Group,
with the exception of the ING Australia
Joint Venture, are operated through
wholly-owned controlled entities.

The Group may invest in or establish
special purpose vehicles to enable it to
undertake specific types of transactions.
Where the Group controls such vehicles,
they are consolidated into the Group
financial results. 

iv)  Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the
purchase consideration over the fair value
of the identifiable net assets of a
controlled entity at the date of gaining
control, is recognised as an asset and
amortised on a straight line basis over the
period during which the benefits are
expected to arise, not exceeding 20 years.

The unamortised balance of goodwill and
the period of amortisation are reviewed
annually for impairment using a
discounted cash flow or the capitalisation
of earnings methodology. Where the
balance exceeds the value of expected
future benefits, the difference is charged
to the statement of financial performance.

v)  Foreign currency
Financial assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into Australian dollars at the
rates of exchange ruling at balance date.

Revenues and expenses of overseas
branches and controlled entities are
translated at average exchange rates
for the year.

Net translation differences arising from
the translation of overseas branches and
controlled entities considered to be self-
sustaining operations are included in the
foreign currency translation reserve, after
allowing for those positions hedged by
foreign exchange contracts and related
currency borrowings (net of tax).

vi)  Fee income
Fee and commission income is brought to
account on an accruals basis. Certain
yield-related front-end application fees
received are deferred and accrued to
income as an adjustment to yield over the
period of the loan. Non yield-related
application and activation lending fees
received are recognised as income no
later than when the loan is disbursed or
the commitment to lend expires. 

Fees and commissions that relate to the
execution of a significant act (for example,
advisory services, placement fees and
underwriting fees) are taken to income
when the fees are receivable.
Fees charged for providing ongoing
services that represent the recoupment
of the costs of providing service (for
example, maintaining and administering
existing facilities) are recognised as
revenue in the period in which the
service is provided.

 
NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

vii)  Net loans and advances
Net loans and advances include direct
finance provided to customers such as
bank overdrafts, credit cards, term loans,
lease finance, hire purchase finance and
commercial bills.

Overdrafts, credit cards and term loans
are carried at principal balances
outstanding. Interest on amounts
outstanding is accounted for on an
accruals basis.

Finance leases, including hire purchase
contracts, are accounted for using the
finance method whereby income is taken
to account progressively over the life of
the lease or the contract in proportion to
the outstanding investment balance.
The finance receivable component of
operating leases is accounted for using
the finance method and operating lease
residual value retained is recorded as
other assets. At finalisation, goods are
disposed of and proceeds received are
applied against the residual value. Any
resulting gains or losses are recognised
through income.

The operating lease residual value is
reflected at estimated future realisable
value. The residual value is reviewed
semi-annually and compared to estimated
future market values. Any impairment on
these residual value assets is recognised
in the statement of financial performance
for the period.

A hire purchase is a contract where
Esanda or UDC (the 'owner') allows the
customer (the 'hirer') the right to possess
and use goods in return for regular
payments. When all payments are
made the title to the goods will pass
to the hirer.

The gross amount of contractual payments
for finance leases to business customers
that have a fixed rate and a fixed term are
recorded as gross lease receivables and
the unearned interest component is
recognised as income yet to mature. 

Customer financing through redeemable
preference shares is included within net
loans and advances. Dividends received
on redeemable preference shares are
taken to the statement of financial
performance as part of interest income.

All loans are subject to regular scrutiny
and graded according to the level of credit
risk. Loans are classified as either
productive or non-accrual. The Group has

adopted the Australian Prudential
Regulation Authority Impaired Assets
Guidelines in assessing non-accrual
loans. Non-accrual loans include loans
where the accrual of interest and fees has
ceased due to doubt as to full recovery,
and loans that have been restructured
with an effective yield below the Group’s
average cost of funds at the date of
restructuring. A specific provision is raised
to cover the expected loss, where full
recovery of principal is doubtful.

Restructured loans are loans with an
effective yield above the Group’s cost of
funds and below the yield applicable to a
customer of equal credit standing.

Cash receipts on non-accrual loans are, in
the absence of a contrary agreement with
the customer, applied as income or fees in
priority to being applied as a reduction in
principal, except where the cash receipt
relates to proceeds from the sale of security.

viii)  Bad and doubtful debts and
other loss contingencies
Bad and doubtful debts:

The Group recognises an expense for
credit losses based on the expected long
term loss ratio for each part of the loan
portfolio. The charge is booked to the
General Provision which is maintained to
cover losses inherent within the Group’s
existing loan portfolio.

The method used by the Group for
determining this expense charge is
referred to as ‘economic loss provisioning’
(ELP). The Group uses ELP models to
calculate the expected loss by
considering:

n the history of credit loss for each type

and risk grade of lending; and

n the size, composition and risk profile of

the current loan portfolio.

The Group regularly reviews the
assumptions used in the ELP models.
These reviews are conducted in
recognition of the subjective nature of ELP
methodology. Methodologies are updated
as improved analysis becomes available.
In addition, the robustness of outcomes is
reviewed considering the Group’s actual
loss experience and losses sustained by
other banks operating in similar markets.

To the extent that credit losses are not
consistent with previous loss patterns
used to develop the assumptions within
the ELP methodology, the existing General
Provision may be determined to be either
in excess of or insufficient to cover credit
losses not yet specifically identified.
As a result of the reassessments,
ELP charge levels may be periodically
increased or decreased. 

Specific provisions are maintained to
cover identified doubtful debts. All known
bad debts are written off in the year in
which they are identified. The specific
provision requirement (representing new
and increased specific provisions less
specific provision releases) is transferred
from the General Provision to the Specific
Provision. Recoveries, representing excess
transfers to the Specific Provision, are
credited to the General Provision.

Provisions for doubtful debts are
deducted from loans and advances in
the statement of financial position.

Other loss contingencies:

These items are recorded as liabilities on
the balance sheet when the following
requirements are met:

n the transaction is probable in that

the contingency is likely to occur; and 

n can be reasonably estimated.

Further disclosure is made within note 47,
where the above requirements are not met
but the contingency falls within the
category of “reasonably possible”.
Specific details are provided together with
an estimate of the range or a statement
that such an estimate is not possible.

ix)  Acceptances
Commercial bills accepted but not held
in portfolio are accounted for and
disclosed as a liability with a
corresponding contra asset.

The Group’s own acceptances discounted
are held as part of either the trading
securities portfolio or the loan portfolio,
depending on whether, at the time of such
discount, the intention was to hold the
acceptances for resale or until maturity.

x)  Trading securities
Securities held for trading purposes are
recorded at market value. Unrealised
gains and losses on revaluation are taken
to the statement of financial performance. 

Market value for listed and unlisted
securities is determined by the price
displayed by a willing buyer in a liquid
market at the reporting date, adjusted for
liquidity issues around the size of the
parcel of securities held by the Group as
compared to the normal daily trading
volumes in the securities. Where a market
price in a liquid market is not readily
available, the market value is determined
by reference to the market price available
for a security with similar credit, maturity
and yield characteristics or by using
industry standard pricing models.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
xi)  Investment securities
Investment securities are those which the
Group intends and has the ability to hold
until maturity. Such securities are
recorded at cost or at cost adjusted for
amortisation of premiums or discounts.

Premiums and discounts are capitalised
and amortised from the date of purchase
to maturity. Interest and dividend income
is accrued. Changes in market values of
securities are not taken into account
unless there is considered to be an other
than temporary diminution in value.
The market value of listed and unlisted
investment securities used for considering
other than temporary impairment and fair
market value disclosures is determined
using quoted market prices for securities
with the same or similar credit, maturity
and yield characteristics.

Market value, used for impairment issues,
is determined in accordance with the
methodology discussed under Trading
Securities.

xii)  Repurchase agreements
Securities sold under repurchase
agreements are retained in the financial
statements and a counterparty liability is
disclosed under the classifications of Due
to other financial institutions or Deposits
and other borrowings. The difference
between the sale price and the repurchase
price is amortised over the life of the
repurchase agreement and charged to
interest expense in the statement of
financial performance.

Securities purchased under agreements to
resell are recorded as Liquid assets, Net
loans and advances, or Due from other
financial institutions, depending on the
term of the agreement and the
counterparty. 

xiii)  Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments
(derivatives) are contracts whose value is
derived from one or more underlying
financial instruments or indices. They
include swaps, forward rate agreements,
futures, options and combinations of
these instruments.

Trading derivatives, comprising derivatives
entered into for customer-related or
proprietary reasons or for hedging the
trading portfolio, are measured at fair
value and all gains and losses are taken
to other operating income in the
statement of financial performance.

8

Fair value losses arising from trading
derivatives are not offset against fair value
gains on the statement of financial position
unless a legal right of set-off exists.

For contracts subject to master netting
agreements that create a legal right of set-
off for which only the net revaluation
amount is recognised in the statement of
financial performance, unrealised gains
on derivatives are recognised as part of
other assets and unrealised losses are
recognised as part of other liabilities in a
category described as “treasury
instrument revaluations”.

Derivatives designated as hedges of
underlying non-trading exposures are
accounted for on the same basis as the
underlying exposures. To be designated
as a hedge, the fair value of the hedge
must move inversely with changes in the
fair value of the underlying exposure.

Gains and losses resulting from the
termination of a derivative that was
designated as a hedge of non-trading
exposures are deferred and amortised
over the remaining period of the original
term covered by the terminated
instrument where the underlying exposure
still exists. The gains or losses are
recorded in the income or expense line
in which the underlying exposure
movements are recorded. Where the
underlying exposure no longer exists,
the gains and losses are recognised in the
statement of financial performance in the
other operating income line. 

Gains and losses on derivatives related
to hedging exposures arising from
anticipated transactions are deferred and
recognised in the financial statements
when the anticipated transaction occurs.

These gains and losses are deferred only
to the extent that there is an offsetting
unrecognised (unrealised) gain or loss on
the exposures being hedged. Deferred
gains and losses are amortised over the
expected term of the hedged exposure and
are recorded in the results of operations in
the same line as the underlying exposure.
For hedging instruments designed as
hedging interest rate risk, the amortised
deferred gain or loss is posted to the net
interest line; for items designated as
hedging foreign currency exposures, the
amortised deferred gain or loss is recorded
in the other operating income line. The
impact of hedges of foreign currency
revenue is recorded in interest income. The
deferred gain or loss is recorded in other
liability or other assets in the statement of
financial position.

Gains and losses that arise prior to and
upon the maturity of transactions entered

into under hedge rollover strategies are
deferred and included in the
measurement of the hedged anticipated
transaction if the transaction is still
expected to occur. If the forecasted
transaction is no longer expected to occur,
the gains and losses are recognised
immediately in the statement of financial
performance in other income.

Movements in the derivative financial
position are recorded in the cashflow
statement when they are settled on the
other financing and investing lines.

xiv)  Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at
cost less depreciation or amortisation.

Profit or loss on the disposal of premises
and equipment is determined as the
difference between the carrying amount
of the assets at the time of disposal and
the proceeds of disposal, and is included
in the results in the year of disposal.

Assets other than freehold land are
depreciated at rates based upon their
expected useful lives to the Group, using
the straight line method. The depreciation
rates used for each class of asset are:

Buildings
Building integrals
Furniture & equipment
Computer &

office equipment

Software

1%
10%
10%

12.5% to 33%
14% to 33%

Leasehold improvements are amortised
on a straight line basis over the shorter
of the useful lives or remaining terms of
the lease.

Costs incurred in acquiring and building
software and computer systems are
capitalised as fixed assets and expensed
as amortisation over periods of between
3 and 5 years except for the branch front
end applications where 7 years is used.
Costs incurred in planning or evaluating
software proposals, or in maintaining
systems after implementation, are not
capitalised.

The carrying values of all non-current
assets, including premises and
equipment, have been assessed annually,
and have not been found to be in excess
of their recoverable amounts. Recoverable
amounts are determined through a
combination of comparisons with market
values and cash flows. If the carrying
value of a non-current asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is written
down to the lower value. Where assets
working together as a group support the
generation of cash flows, the recoverable
amount is assessed in relation to the
group of assets.

 
defined benefit schemes have been
provided for in the financial statements,
where a legal or constructive
obligation exists.

The assets and liabilities of the schemes
have not been consolidated as the
Company does not have direct or indirect
control of the schemes.

xix)  Leasing
Leases entered into by the Group as
lessee are predominantly operating
leases, and the operating lease payments
are included in the statement of financial
performance in equal installments over
the lease term.

xx)  Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are
recognised net of the amount of goods
and services tax (GST), except where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In
these circumstances the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with
the amount of GST included. The net
amount of GST recoverable from or
payable to the ATO is included as an 
other asset or liability in the statement
of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement
of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST
components of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities which
are recoverable from or payable to the ATO
are classified as operating cash flows.

xxi)  Capitalised expenses
Direct external expenses related to the
acquisition of interest earning assets,
including structured institutional lending,
mortgages and finance leases, are initially
recognised as part of the cost of acquiring
the asset and written-off as an adjustment
to its expected yield over its expected life.
For assets subject to prepayment,
expected life is determined on the basis
of the historical behaviour of the
particular asset portfolio, taking into
account contractual obligations and
prepayment experience assessed on a
regular basis. Impairment of capitalised
expenses is assessed through comparing
the actual behaviour of the portfolio
against initial expected life assumptions.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
xv)  Income tax
The Group adopts the liability method of
tax effect accounting whereby income tax
expense is calculated based on
accounting profit adjusted for permanent
differences. Permanent differences are
items of revenue and expense which are
recognised in the statement of financial
performance but are not part of taxable
income or vice versa. 

Future tax benefits and deferred tax
liabilities relating to timing differences
and tax losses are carried forward at tax
rates applicable to future periods.
These future tax benefits are not brought
to account unless realisation of the asset
is assured beyond reasonable doubt.
Future tax benefits relating to tax losses
are only carried forward where realisation
of the benefit is considered virtually certain.

Provision for Australian income tax is
made where the earnings of overseas
controlled entities are subjected to
Australian tax under the attribution rules
for the taxation of foreign sourced income.

Otherwise, no provision is made for
overseas withholding tax or Australian
income tax which may arise on
repatriation of earnings from overseas
controlled entities, where it is expected
these earnings will be retained by those
entities to finance their ongoing business.

For details of the impact of Tax
Consolidation, refer note 6.

xvi)  Employee entitlements
The amounts expected to be paid in respect
of employees’ entitlements to annual leave
are accrued at expected salary rates
including on-costs. Liability for long service
leave is accrued in respect of all applicable
employees at the present value of future
amounts expected to be paid.

xvii)  Provisions
Refer to note 27 for the accounting
policies covering various provisions,
excluding ELP which is detailed in note
1(viii) above.

xviii)  Superannuation commitments
Contributions, which are determined on
an actuarial basis, to superannuation
schemes are charged to personnel
expenses in the statement of
financial performance.

It is Group policy that KPMG Australia or any of its related practices may provide assurance and other audit-related services that, while outside the scope of the statutory audit, are consistent with the role
of auditor. These include regulatory and prudential reviews requested by the Company’s regulators such as the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. KPMG Australia or any of its related practices
may not provide services that are perceived to be materially in conflict with the role of auditor. These include consulting advice and subcontracting of operational activities normally undertaken by
management, and engagements where the auditor may ultimately be required to express an opinion on its own work. However, non-audit services that are not perceived to be materially in conflict with
the role of auditor may be provided by KPMG Australia or any of its related practices subject to the approval of the Audit Committee.
KPMG has confirmed to ANZ that it has policies in place on loans from audit clients that are in accordance with Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X and that neither KPMG nor any covered person or immediate
family member have any loans outstanding from the Company and its related parties, that are part of the audit client, that are not in compliance with that rule.

1 2005 includes services in relation to the transition to Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
2 Includes services for the audit or review of financial information other than financial reports, including prudential supervision reviews for central banks, prospectus reviews, trust audits and other

audits required for local statutory purposes

3 2004 includes due diligence oversight review of The National Bank of New Zealand and markets co-sourcing internal audit work which ceased in April 2004. 2003 includes assessing the Group’s

compliance with the requirements of the US Patriot Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7:  DIVIDENDS (CONTINUED)

Trust Securities Issues (ANZ TrUEPrS)
In 1998 ANZ TrUEPrS issued 124,032,000 preference shares, raising USD 775 million via Trust Securities issues. The Trust Securities carried
an entitlement to a distribution of 8% (USD 400 million) or 8.08% (USD 375 million). The amounts were payable quarterly in arrears.
Payment dates were the fifteenth day of January, April, July and October in each year. The preference shares were bought back on
12 December 2003.

ANZ Stapled Exchangeable Preferred Securities (ANZ StEPS)
On 23 September 2003, the Group issued 10 million ANZ StEPS at $100 each raising $1 billion ($987 million net of issue costs of
$13 million). ANZ StEPS comprise 2 fully paid securities - an interest paying unsecured note issued by a New Zealand subsidiary (ANZ
Holdings (New Zealand) Limited) which is stapled to a fully paid preference share issued by the Company.

Distributions on ANZ StEPS are non-cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears (on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, 15 December of
each year) based upon a floating distribution rate equal to the 90 day bank bill rate plus a 100 basis point margin. At each payment date the
90 day bank bill rate is reset for the next quarter. Dividends are not payable on the preference share while it is stapled to the note. If
distributions are not paid on ANZ StEPS, the Company may not pay dividends or return capital on its ordinary shares or any other share
capital or security ranking equal or below the preference share component.

Euro Trust Securities
On 13 December 2004, the Group issued 500,000 Euro Floating Rate Non-cumulative Trust Securities (“Euro Trust Securities”) at €1,000 each 
into the European market, raising €500 million (A$871 million at the spot rate at the date of issue, net of issue costs). The Euro Trust
Securities are similar in structure to ANZ StEPS and US Trust Security issuances, in that they comprise 2 fully paid securities – an interest
paying unsecured note issued by a United Kingdom subsidiary (ANZ Jackson Funding PLC) stapled to a fully paid €1,000 preference share
issued by the Company, which are stapled together and issued as a Euro Trust Security by ANZ Capital Trust III.

Distributions on Euro Trust Securities are non-cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears (on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, 
15 December of each year) based upon a floating distribution rate equal to 3 month EURIBOR rate plus a 66 basis point margin. At each
payment date the 3 month EURIBOR rate is reset for the next quarter. Dividends are not payable on the preference share while it is stapled to
the note. If distributions are not paid on Euro Trust Securities, the Company may not pay dividends or return capital on its ordinary shares or
any other share capital or security ranking equal or below the preference share component.

Dividend Franking Account
The amount of franking credits available to the Company for the subsequent financial year is $78 million (2004: $111 million and 
2003: nil), after adjusting for franking credits that will arise from the payment of tax on Australian profits for the 2005 financial year, 
$462 million of franking credits which will be utilised in franking the proposed final dividend and franking credits that may not be accessible by
the Company at present.

Restrictions which Limit the Payment of Dividends
There are presently no significant restrictions on the payment of dividends from controlled entities to the Company. Various capital
adequacy, liquidity, statutory reserve and other prudential requirements must be observed by certain controlled entities and the impact
on these requirements caused by the payment of cash dividends is monitored. 

Payments of dividends from overseas controlled entities may attract withholding taxes which have not been provided for in these
financial statements.

There are presently no restrictions on payment of dividends by the Company. Reductions of shareholders’ equity through payment of
cash dividends is monitored having regard to the regulatory requirements to maintain a specified capital adequacy ratio. In particular,
the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has advised Australian banks that a bank under its supervision must consult with it
before declaring a coupon payment on a Tier 1 instrument, including a dividend if the bank has incurred a loss, or proposes to pay coupon
payments on Tier 1 instruments (including dividends), which exceed the level of current year profits.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the year, 3,900,116 ordinary shares were issued at $19.95 per share, and 3,406,775 ordinary shares at $21.85 per share, under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (2004: 3,909,659 ordinary shares at $16.61 per share, and 3,906,171 ordinary shares at $17.84 per share)

part of their right to dividends in return for the receipt of bonus shares.

A restructuring provision of $25 million was established for restructuring the operations of the acquired entities. A balance of $12 million
remains in the provision at 30 September 2005. On 26 June 2004, NBNZ was amalgamated into ANZ Banking Group (New Zealand) Limited.
ANZ Banking Group (New Zealand) Limited changed its name to ANZ National Bank Limited on 28 June 2004.

ING (NZ) Holdings Ltd (INGNZ), is 49% owned by ANZ National Bank Ltd and 51% owned by INGII.

On 30 September 2005:

n ANZ National Bank Limited and INGII invested NZD163 million and NZD170 million respectively into INGNZ.
n ANZ National Bank Limited sold NBNZ Life Insurance Limited and NBNZ Investment Services Limited to INGNZ for NZD158 million resulting 

in the following impact on the Group’s financial statements:

-
-
-

reduction in unamortised goodwill of NZD114 million;
recognition of approximately NZD16 million ($14 million) profit on sale of 51% of the NBNZ Life and Funds Management businesses;
an investment in INGNZ of NZD145 million (being initial investment adjusted for unrecognised profit on ANZ National Bank’s; and 
49% share of the profit on sale of the NBNZ Life and Funds Management businesses joint venture and costs).

n INGNZ acquired at market value the New Zealand-based businesses previously owned by INGA. The profit on sale of the New Zealand-

based businesses of approximately $40 million is recognised in INGA, however, ANZ’s share of this profit is eliminated on consolidation.

There were no material controlled entities disposed of during the year ended 30 September 2004.

Certain potential future income tax assets within the Group have not been recognised as assets because recovery cannot be regarded as
virtually certain. These potential benefits arise from tax losses and timing differences (benefits could amount to $23 million, 2004: nil), and
from realised capital losses (benefits could amount to $66 million, 2004: $67 million).

These benefits will only be obtained if:

i)

the relevant entities derive future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit of the taxation
deductions to be realised;
ii)
the relevant entities continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
iii) there are no changes in taxation legislation adversely affecting the benefit of the taxation deductions.

1 In accordance with AASB 1041 this represents deemed cost

From 1 October 2000 as allowed by AASB 1041 ‘Revaluation of Non-Current Assets’ the Group elected to revert to the cost basis for
measuring the class of assets ‘land and buildings’.

As all properties are carried at deemed cost subject to individually meeting a recoverable amount test, valuations are carried out on all
properties with a carrying value in excess of $2 million every three years. Properties carrying values are not increased to market values if
valuations exceed carrying amounts. However, if the valuation of an individual property is determined to be less than its carrying amount, 
it will be written down to the lower amount, where considered appropriate.

The properties are subject to external valuation by independent valuers. Valuations are based on the estimated open market value and
assume that the properties concerned continue to be used in their existing manner by the Group.

The last independent valuation of the Group’s freehold land and buildings was carried out for 30 September 2002 purposes. For 
30 September 2005, the valuations were carried out by Jones Lang La Salle Advisory for Australia. New Zealand property values were
assessed based on valuations by Telfer Young. This resulted in a valuation of $466 million and $25 million for the Group and Company
respectively (excludes leasehold land and buildings). As land and buildings are recorded at deemed cost, the valuation was not brought to
account.

Further, a recoverable amount review of all properties at 30 September 2005 was completed. This involved properties being reviewed for 
the existence of impairment indicators that might provide evidence that the property’s recoverable amount exceeded its carrying value 
(also using the independent valuations performed), and hence a writedown being required. 

As a result of this review, some properties were identified as impaired and a loss of $3m was recorded (2004: $2 million). 

Group accounting policy covering the amortisation of software costs capitalised is detailed in note 1(xiv). As at 30 September 2005 the
weighted average amortization period is 5 years.

1 Restructuring costs and surplus leased space provisions arise from exit activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by the Group or the manner in which that business is
undertaken, and includes termination benefits. Costs related to on-going activities are not provided for. Provision is made when the Group is demonstrably committed, it is probable that the costs will
be incurred, though its timing is uncertain, and the costs can be reliably estimated

2 Non-lending losses, frauds and forgeries provisions arise from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or from external events
3 Other provisions comprise various other provisions including fringe benefits tax, fleet maintenance, workers’ compensation and other non-employee entitlement provisions

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

29:  LOAN CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

US TRUST SECURITIES

On 27 November 2003, the Company issued 1.1 million USD non-cumulative Trust Securities (“US Trust Securities”) at USD1000 each
pursuant to offering memorandum dated 19 November 2003 raising USD1.1 billion. US Trust Securities comprise two fully paid securities –
an interest paying unsecured note (issued by Samson Funding Limited, a wholly owned NZ subsidiary of the Company) and a fully paid
USD1,000 preference share (issued by the Company), which are stapled together and issued as a US Trust Security by ANZ Capital Trust I or
ANZ Capital Trust II (the “Trusts”). Investors have the option to redeem the US Trust Security from the Trusts and hold the underlying staped
security.

The issue was made in two tranches:

n USD350 million tranche with a coupon of 4.484% and was issued through ANZ Capital Trust I. After 15 January 2010 and at any coupon 
date thereafter, ANZ has the discretion to redeem the US Trust Security for cash. If it does not exercise this discretion, the investor is
entitled to require ANZ to exchange the US Trust Security into a number of ordinary shares based on the formula in the offering 
memorandum.

n USD750 million tranche with a coupon of 5.36% and was issued through ANZ Capital Trust II. It has the same conversion features as the 

USD350 million tranche but from 15 December 2013.

Distributions on US Trust Securities are non-cumulative and are payable half yearly in arrears and are funded by payments received by the
respective Trusts on the underlying note. Distributions are subject to certain payment tests (eg. APRA requirements and distributable profits
being available). Distributions are expected to be payable on 15 June and 15 December of each year. Dividends are not payable on the
preference share while it is stapled to the note. If distributions are not paid on the US Trust Securities, the Company may not pay dividends
or return capital on its ordinary shares or any other share capital or security ranking equal or junior to the preference share component.

At any time in the Company’s discretion or upon the occurrence of certain other “conversion events”, such as the failure of the respective
Trust to pay in full a distribution within seven business days of the relevant distribution payment date, the notes that are represented by the
relevant US Trust Securities will be automatically assigned to a subsidiary of the Company and the preference shares that are represented by
the relevant US Trust Securities will be distributed to investor in redemption of such US Trust Securities. The distributed preference shares
will immediately become dividend paying and holders will receive non-cumulative dividends equivalent to the scheduled payments in
respect of the US Trust Securities for which the preference shares were distributed. If the US Trust Securities are not redeemed or bought
back prior to the 15 December 2053, they will be converted into preference shares, which in turn will be mandatorily convert into a number
of ordinary shares based upon the formula in the offering memorandum.

The preference shares forming part of the US Trust Securities rank equal to the preference shares issued in connection with the ANZ StEPS
and Euro Trust Securities in all respects. Except in limited circumstances, holders of US Trust Securities do not have any right to vote in
general meetings of the company. 

On winding up of the Company, the rights of US Trust Security holders will be determined by the preference share component of US Trust
Security. These preference shares rank behind all depositors and creditors, but ahead of ordinary shareholders.

The US Trust Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital as defined by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, however, the US Trust Securities
are reported as debt under Australian, International and US Accounting Standards with the coupon payment classified as interest expense.

a)  Trust Securities Issues (ANZ TrUEPrS)
ANZ TrUEPrS were 124,032,000 fully paid
non-converting non-cumulative preference
shares issued for USD6.25 per share via
Trust Securities Issues in 1998.

The Trust Securities were mandatorily
exchangeable for the preference shares
issued by the Company, and carried an
entitlement to a non-cumulative trust
distribution of 8.00% or 8.08% per
annum payable quarterly in arrears.
The Trust Securities were issued by a
non diversified closed end management
investment company registered under the
US Investment Company Act of 1940.
The preference shares themselves carried
no present entitlement to dividends.
Distributions to investors in the Trust
Securities were funded by income
distributions made by the Group.

Upon maturity of the Trust Securities in
2048, investors would have mandatorily
exchanged the Trust Securities for the
preference shares and thereupon the
preference shares would have carried an
entitlement to non-cumulative dividends
of 8.00% or 8.08% per annum payable
quarterly in arrears. The mandatory
exchange of the Trust Securities for the
preference shares could have occurred
earlier at the Company’s option or in
specified circumstances.

With the prior consent of the Australian
Prudential Regulation Authority, the
preference shares were redeemable at the
Company’s option after 5 years, or within
5 years in limited circumstances. The

entitlement of investors to distributions
on the Trust Securities would have ceased
on redemption of the preference shares.

The transaction costs arising on the issue
of these instruments were recognised
directly in equity as a reduction of the
proceeds of the equity instruments to
which the costs related.

On 12 December 2003, the Group bought
back its 124,032,000 preference shares
issued via Trust Securities Issues for
$1,045 million.

b)  ANZ Stapled Exchangeable Preferred
Securities (ANZ StEPS)
On 23 September 2003, the Company
issued 10 million ANZ StEPS at $100
each pursuant to a prospectus dated
14 August 2003 raising $1 billion
(excluding issue costs of $13 million:
net raising $987 million). ANZ StEPS
comprise two fully paid securities - an
interest paying unsecured note (issued
by ANZ Holdings (New Zealand) Limited,
a New Zealand subsidiary of the Company)
stapled to a fully paid $100 preference
share (issued by the Company).

Distributions on ANZ StEPS are non-
cumulative and are payable quarterly in
arrears based upon a floating distribution
rate equal to the 90 day bank bill rate plus
a 100 basis point margin. At each payment
date the 90 day bank bill rate is reset for
the next quarter. Distributions are subject
to certain payment tests (ie APRA
requirements and distributable profits
being available) and the basis for their
calculation may change on any reset date.
Distributions are expected to be payable

on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and
15 December of each year. Dividends are
not payable on the preference share while
it is stapled to the note. If distributions
are not paid on ANZ StEPS, the Company
may not pay dividends or return capital on
its ordinary shares or any other share capital
or security ranking equal or junior to the
preference share component. 

On any reset date, ANZ may change certain
terms (subject to certain restrictions)
including the next reset date, market reset
(from floating rate to a fixed rate, or vice
versa), margin and the frequency and
timing of the distribution payment dates.
The first reset date is 15 September 2008.
Holders of ANZ StEPS can require exchange
on any reset date or earlier if certain
specified events occur. On exchange, a
holder will receive (at the Company’s
discretion) either $100 cash for each ANZ
StEPS exchanged or a number of ordinary
shares calculated in accordance with a
conversion ratio based on $100 divided
by the market price of ordinary shares at
the date of conversion less 2.5%. In certain
circumstances, the Company may also
require exchange other than on a reset date.

Upon the occurrence of an assignment
event, ANZ StEPS become unstapled.
In this case, the note will be assigned to a
subsidiary of the company, however, the
holder will retain the preference share and
the rights to exchange the preference share.

The preference shares forming part of
ANZ StEPS rank equally with the
preference shares issued in connection
with US Trust Securities and Euro Trust
Securities in all respects. Except in 

anz financial report 2005 37

b)  ANZ Stapled Exchangeable Preferred
Securities (ANZ StEPS) (continued)
certain limited circumstances, holders of
ANZ StEPS do not have any right to vote in
general meetings of the Company.

On a winding up of the Company, the rights
of ANZ StEPS holders will be determined
by the preference share component of ANZ
StEPS. Those preference shares rank
behind all depositors and creditors, but
ahead of ordinary shareholders.

The transactions costs arising on the issue
of these instruments were recognised
directly in equity as a reduction of the
proceeds of the equity instruments to
which the costs relate.

c)  Euro Trust Securities
On 13 December 2004, the Company
issued 500,000 Euro Floating Rate Non-
cumulative Trust Securities (“Euro Trust
Securities”) at €1000 each pursuant to
the offering circular dated 9 December
2004, raising $871 million (at the spot
rate at the date of issue, net of issue
costs). Euro Trust Securities comprise two
fully paid securities – an interest paying
unsecured note (issued by ANZ Jackson
Funding PLC, a United Kingdom subsidiary
of the Company) and a fully paid, €1000
preference share (issued by the Company),
which are stapled together and issued as a
Euro Trust Security by ANZ Capital Trust III
(the “Trust”). Investors have the option to
redeem the Euro Trust Security from the 
Trust and hold the underlying stapled
security.

Distributions on Euro Trust Securities are
non-cumulative and are payable quarterly
in arrears and are funded by payments
received by the Trust on the underlying
note and or preference share. The
distribution is based upon a floating
distribution rate equal to the 3 month
EURIBOR rate plus a 66 basis point margin
up until 15 December 2014, after which
date the distribution rate is the 3 month
EURIBOR rate plus a 166 basis point
margin. At each payment date the 3 month
EURIBOR rate is reset for the next quarter.
Distributions are subject to certain
payment tests (eg APRA requirements and
distributable profits being available).
Distributions are expected to be payable
on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and
15 December of each year. Dividends are
not payable on the preference shares while
they are stapled to the note, except for the
period after 15 December 2014 when the
preference share will pay 100bpts to fund
the increase in the margin. If distributions
are not paid on Euro Trust Securities, the
Company may not pay dividends or return
capital on its ordinary shares or any other
share capital or security ranking equal or
junior to the preference share component.

At any time at ANZ’s discretion or upon
the occurrence of certain other
“conversion events”, such as the failure of
the Trust to pay in full a distribution within
seven business days of the relevant
distribution payment date or the business
day prior to 15 December, 2053, the notes

Trust Securities will be automatically
assigned to a Branch of the Company and
the preference shares that are
represented by the relevant Euro Trust
Securities will be distributed to investor in
redemption of such Euro Trust Securities.
The distributed preference shares will
immediately become dividend paying and
holders will receive non-cumulative
dividends equivalent to the scheduled
payments in respect of the Euro Trust
Securities for which the preference shares
were distributed. 

The preference shares forming part of the
Euro Trust Security rank equal to the
preference shares issued in connection
with the ANZ StEPS and US Trust
Securities in all respects. Except in limited
circumstances, holders of Euro Trust
Securities do not have any right to vote in
general meetings of the company. 

On winding up of the Company, the rights
of Euro Trust Security holders will be
determined by the preference share
component of the Euro Trust Security.
These preference shares rank behind all
depositors and creditors, but ahead of
ordinary shareholders.

The transaction costs arising on the issue
of these instruments were recognised
directly in equity as a reduction to the
proceeds of the equity instruments to
which the costs relate.

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) adopts a risk-based capital assessment framework for Australian banks based on
internationally accepted capital measurement standards. This risk-based approach requires eligible capital to be divided by total risk
weighted assets, with the resultant ratio being used as a measure of a bank’s capital adequacy.
Capital is divided into tier 1, or ‘core’ capital, and tier 2, or ‘supplementary’ capital. For capital adequacy purposes, eligible tier 2 capital
cannot exceed the level of tier 1 capital. Banks are required to deduct from total capital any strategic holdings of other banks’ capital
instruments and investments in entities engaged in life insurance, funds management and securitisation activities. Under APRA guidelines,
banks must maintain a ratio of qualifying capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8 per cent.
The measurement of risk weighted assets is based on: a) a credit risk-based approach wherein risk weightings are applied to statement of
financial position assets and to credit converted off balance sheet exposures. Categories of risk weights are assigned based upon the nature
of the counterparty and the relative liquidity of the assets concerned; and b) the recognition of risk weighted assets attributable to market
risk arising from trading and commodity positions. Trading and commodity balance sheet positions do not attract a risk weighting under the
credit risk-based approach.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

35:  MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk to earnings arising from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or from fluctuations in bond,
commodity or equity prices.

The Board of Directors through the Risk Management Committee, a Committee of the Board, has responsibility for oversight of market risk
within the Group. Routine management of market risk is delegated to two senior management committees. The Credit and Trading Risk
Committee, chaired by the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for traded market risk, while the Group Asset and Liability Committee, chaired by
the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk).

The Credit and Trading Risk Committee monitors traded market risk exposures (including Value at Risk and Stress Testing) and is responsible
for authorising the trading risk limit framework. The Group Asset and Liability Committee reviews balance sheet based risk measures and
strategies on a monthly basis.

The Value at Risk (VaR) Measure
A key measure of market risk is Value at Risk (VaR). VaR is a statistical estimate of the likely daily loss and is based on historical market
movements.

The confidence level is such that there is 97.5% or 99% probability that the loss will not exceed the VaR estimate on any given day.
The 99% confidence level encompasses a wider range of potential outcomes.

The Group's standard VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. The Group calculates VaR using historical
changes in market rates and prices over the previous 500 business days.

It should be noted that because VaR is driven by actual historical observations, and as such is not an estimate of the maximum loss that the
Group could experience from an extreme market event. As a result of this limitation, the Group utilises a number of other risk measures
(eg. stress testing) and associated detailed control limits to measure and manage traded market risk.

Traded and non-traded market risks have been considered separately below.

Traded Market Risks
Trading activities are focused on customer trading, distribution and underwriting of a range of securities and derivative instruments.
The principal activities include foreign exchange, interest rate and debt markets. These activities are managed on a global product basis.

Below are aggregate VaR exposures covering both derivative and non-derivative trading positions for the Group's principal trading centres.

35:  MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)

Non-Traded Market Risks (Balance Sheet Risk)
The principal objectives of balance sheet management are to manage interest income sensitivity while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate and liquidity risk and to hedge the market value of the Group's capital.

Interest Rate Risk
The objective of balance sheet interest rate risk management is to secure stable and optimal net interest income over both the short
(next 12 months) and long term. Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on
the Group's future net interest income. This risk arises from two principal sources: mismatches between the repricing dates of interest
bearing assets and liabilities; and the investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities in interest bearing assets. Interest rate
risk is reported as follows using three measures: VaR, scenario analysis (to a 1% shock) and disclosure of the interest rate sensitivity gap
(refer note 36).

a)  VaR Interest Rate Risk

b)  Scenario Analysis - A 1% Shock on the Next 12 Months' Net Interest Income
A 1% overnight parallel positive shift in the yield curve is modelled to determine the potential impact on net interest income over the
immediate forward period of 12 months. This is a standard risk quantification tool.

The figures in the table below indicate the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years - expressed as a
percentage of reported net interest income. The sign indicates the nature of the rate sensitivity with a positive number signifying that a rate
increase is positive for net interest income over the next 12 months. Conversely, a negative number signifies that a rate increase is negative
for the next 12 months' net interest income.

The extent of mismatching between the repricing characteristics and timing of interest bearing assets and liabilities at any point has
implications for future net interest income. On a global basis, the Group quantifies the potential variation in future net interest income as a
result of these repricing mismatches each month using a static gap model.

The repricing gaps themselves are constructed based on contractual repricing information. However, for those assets and liabilities where
the contractual term to repricing is not considered to be reflective of the actual interest rate sensitivity (for example, products priced at the
Group's discretion), a profile based on historically observed and/or anticipated rate sensitivity is used. This treatment excludes the effect of
basis risk between customer pricing and wholesale market pricing. For example, when wholesale market rates are anticipating an official rate
increase the Group does not reprice certain customer business until the first repricing date after the official rate rise.

The majority of the Group's non-traded interest exposure exists in Australia and New Zealand. In these centres, a separate balance sheet
simulation process supplements this static gap information. This allows the net interest income outcomes of a number of different scenarios
- with different market interest rate environments and future balance sheet structures - to be identified. This better enables the Group
to accurately quantify the interest rate risks associated with the balance sheet, and to formulate strategies to manage current and
future risk profiles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

35:  MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)

Foreign Currency Related Risks
The Group's investment of capital in non-Australian operations generates an exposure to changes in the relative value of individual
currencies against the Australian Dollar. Variations in the value of these foreign currency investments are reflected in the Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve.

The Group incurs some non-traded foreign currency risk related to the potential repatriation of profits from non-Australian business units.
This risk is routinely monitored and hedging is conducted where it is likely to add shareholder value. NZD revenue related hedge contracts
outstanding at 30 September 2005 were AUD 3,957 million.

The risk relating to mismatching of non-traded foreign currency assets and liabilities has not been presented, as this type of risk is minimal
for the Group.

36:  INTEREST SENSITIVITY GAP 

The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity as at 30 September 2005 of the Group’s assets, liabilities and off balance sheet
instruments repricing (that is, when interest rates applicable to each asset or liability can be changed) in the periods shown.

Repricing gaps are based upon contractual repricing information except where the contractual terms are not considered to be reflective of
actual interest rate sensitivity, for example, those assets and liabilities priced at the Group’s discretion. In such cases, the rate sensitivity is
based upon historically observed and/or anticipated rate sensitivity.

Sensitivity to interest rates arises from mismatches in the period to repricing of assets and that of the corresponding liability funding. These
mismatches are managed within policy guidelines for mismatch positions.

The bulk of the Group’s loan/deposit business is conducted in the domestic balance sheets of Australia and New Zealand and is priced on a
floating rate basis. The mix of repricing maturities in these books is influenced by the underlying financial needs of customers.

Offshore operations, which are generally wholesale in nature, are able to minimise interest rate sensitivity through closely matching the
maturity of loans and deposits. Given both the size and nature of their business, the interest rate sensitivities of these balance sheets
contribute little to the aggregate risk exposure, which is primarily a reflection of the positions in Australia and New Zealand.

In Australia and New Zealand, a combination of pricing initiatives and off-balance sheet instruments is used in the management of interest
rate risk. For example, where a strong medium to long term rate view is held, hedging and pricing strategies are used to modify the profile’s
rate sensitivity so that it is positioned to take advantage of the expected movement in interest rates. However, such positions are taken
within the overall risk limits specified by policy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

37:  NET FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1033: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments (AASB 1033) requires disclosure of the net
fair value of on and off balance sheet financial instruments. The disclosures exclude all non-financial instruments, such as income taxes and
regulatory deposits, and specified financial instruments, such as interests in controlled entities. The aggregate net fair value amounts do not
represent the underlying value of the Group.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction. Net fair value is the fair value adjusted for transaction costs.

Quoted market prices, where available, are adjusted for material transaction costs and used as the measure of net fair value. In cases where
quoted market values are not available, net fair values are based on present value estimates or other valuation techniques. For the majority
of short-term financial instruments, defined as those which reprice or mature in 90 days or less, with no significant change in credit risk, the
net fair value was assumed to equate to the carrying amount in the Group’s statement of financial position.

The fair values are based on relevant information available as at 30 September 2005. While judgement is used in obtaining the net fair value
of financial instruments, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Many of the estimates involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgement, and changes in underlying assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Furthermore, market
prices or rates of discount are not available for many of the financial instruments valued and surrogates have been used which may not
reflect the price that would apply in an actual sale.

The net fair value amounts have not been updated for the purposes of these financial statements since 30 September 2005, and therefore
the net fair value of the financial instruments subsequent to 30 September 2005 may be different from the amounts reported.

TRADING SECURITIES

Trading securities are carried at market value. Market value is generally based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer price quotations,
or prices for securities with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Net fair value is based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer price quotations. If this information is not available, net fair value has
been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics.

SHARES IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURE ENTITIES

Net fair value is based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer price quotations. If this information is not available, net fair value has
been estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics, independent valuation, or by
reference to the net tangible asset backing of the investee.

37:  NET FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

LOANS, ADVANCES AND CUSTOMERS’ LIABILITIES FOR ACCEPTANCES
The carrying value of loans, advances and acceptances is net of specific and general provisions for doubtful debts and income yet to mature.
The estimated net fair value of loans, advances and acceptances is based on the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows and
accordingly has not been adjusted for either specific or general provisions for doubtful debts.

Estimated contractual cash flows for performing loans are discounted at estimated current bank credit spreads to determine fair value.
For loans with doubt as to collection, expected cash flows (inclusive of the value of security) are discounted using a rate which includes
a premium for the uncertainty of the flows.

The difference between estimated net fair values of loans, advances and acceptances and carrying value reflects changes in interest rates
and the credit worthiness of borrowers since loan origination.

Net lease receivables, with a carrying value of $3,523 million (2004: $3,079 million) and a net fair value of $3,523 million
(2004: $3,080 million), are included in loans and advances.

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS
Included in this category are accrued interest, fees receivable and derivative financial instruments. The carrying values of accrued interest
and fees receivable are considered to approximate their net fair values as they are short term in nature or are receivable on demand.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and currency swaps were calculated using discounted cash
flow models based on current market yields for similar types of instruments and the maturity of each instrument. Foreign exchange contracts
and interest rate option contracts were valued using market prices and option valuation models as appropriate.

Properties held for resale, deferred tax assets and prepaid expenses are not considered financial assets.

DUE TO OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The carrying value of amounts due to other financial institutions is considered to approximate the net fair value.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWINGS
The net fair value of a deposit liability without a specified maturity or at call is deemed by AASB 1033 to be the amount payable on demand
at the reporting date. The fair value is not adjusted for any value expected to be derived from retaining the deposit for a future period of time.

For interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and other borrowings and acceptances without quoted market prices, market borrowing rates of
interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount contractual cash flows. 

BONDS AND NOTES AND LOAN CAPITAL
The aggregate net fair value of bonds and notes and loan capital at 30 September 2005 was calculated based on quoted market prices.
For those debt issues where quoted market prices were not available, a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate for the
remaining term to maturity of the instrument was used.

OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
This category includes accrued interest and fees payable for which the carrying amount is considered to approximate the fair value.
Also included are derivative financial instruments, where fair value is determined on the basis described under ‘Other financial assets’.

Income tax liabilities, other provisions and accrued charges are not considered financial liabilities.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

37:  NET FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As outlined in note 47, the Group has
various credit related commitments.
Based upon the level of fees currently
charged for granting such commitments,
taking into account maturity and interest
rates, together with any changes in the
creditworthiness of counterparties since
origination of the commitments, their
estimated replacement or net fair value
is not material.

TRANSACTION COSTS

The fair value of financial instruments
required to be disclosed under US
accounting standard, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107
‘Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments’ (SFAS 107) is calculated
without regard to estimated transaction
costs. Such transaction costs are not
material, and accordingly the fair values
shown above would not differ materially
from fair values calculated in accordance
with SFAS 107.

38:  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS

Derivative instruments are contracts
whose value is derived from one or more
underlying financial instruments or
indices. They include swaps, forward rate
agreements, futures, options and
combinations of these instruments.
The use of derivatives and their sale to
customers as risk management products
is an integral part of the Group’s trading
activities. Derivatives are also used to
manage the Group’s own exposure to
fluctuations in exchange and interest rates
as part of its asset and liability
management activities and are classified
as other than trading. Derivatives are
subject to the same types of credit and
market risk as other financial instruments,
and the Group manages these risks in a
consistent manner.

The principal exchange rate contracts
used by the Group are forward foreign
exchange contracts, currency swaps and
currency options. Forward foreign
exchange contracts are agreements to buy
or sell a specified quantity of foreign
currency on a specified future date at an
agreed rate. A currency swap generally
involves the exchange, or notional
exchange, of equivalent amounts of two
currencies and a commitment to exchange
interest periodically until the principal
amounts are re-exchanged on a future
date. Currency options provide the buyer
with the right, but not the obligation,
either to purchase or sell a fixed amount
of a currency at a specified rate on or
before a future date. As compensation for
assuming the option risk, the option
writer generally receives a premium at the
start of the option period.

The principal interest rate contracts used
by the Group are forward rate agreements,
interest rate futures, interest rate swaps
and options. Forward rate agreements are
contracts for the payment of the difference
between a specified interest rate and a
reference rate on a notional deposit at a
future settlement date. There is no
exchange of principal. An interest rate
future is an exchange traded contract for
the delivery of a standardised amount of a
fixed income security or time deposit at a
future date. Interest rate swap
transactions generally involve the
exchange of fixed and floating interest
payment obligations without the exchange
of the underlying principal amounts.

Derivative transactions generate income
for the Group from buy/sell spreads and
from trading positions taken by the Group.
Income from these transactions is taken to
net interest income, foreign exchange
earnings or profit on trading instruments.
Income or expense on derivatives entered
into for balance sheet and revenue
hedging purposes is accrued and recorded
as an adjustment to the interest income or
expense of the related hedged item.

CREDIT RISK

The credit risk of derivative financial
instruments arises from the potential for a
counterparty to default on its contractual
obligation. Credit risk arises when market
movements are such that the derivative
has a positive value to the Group. It is the
cost of replacing the contract in the event
of counterparty default. The Group limits
its credit risk within a conservative
framework by dealing with creditworthy
counterparties, setting credit limits on
exposures to counterparties, and
obtaining collateral where appropriate.

The following table provides an overview
of the Group’s exchange rate, credit,
commodity and interest rate derivatives.
It includes all trading and other than
trading contracts. Notional principal
amounts measure the amount of the
underlying physical or financial commodity
and represent the volume of outstanding
transactions. They are not a measure of
the risk associated with a derivative.

The credit equivalent amount is calculated
in accordance with the Australian
Prudential Regulation Authority’s Capital
Adequacy guidelines. It combines
the aggregate gross replacement cost with
an allowance for the potential increase in
value over the remaining term of the
transaction should market
conditions change.

The fair value of a derivative represents
the aggregate net present value of the
cash inflows and outflows required to
extinguish the rights and obligations
arising from the derivative in an orderly
market as at the reporting date. Fair value
does not indicate future gains or losses,
but rather the unrealised gains and losses
from marking to market all derivatives at a
particular point in time.

1 The fair value of foreign exchange contracts includes a net additional $586 million (September 2004: net $(519) million) in respect of cash collateral paid/(received) under credit support agreements
2  Credit equivalent amounts have not been included as there is minimal credit risk associated with exchange traded futures where the clearing house is the counterparty
3 Options sold have no credit exposure, as they represent obligations rather than assets
4 Credit default swaps include structured financing transactions that expose the Group to the performance of certain assets. The total investment of the Group in these transactions is USD 500 million

(2004: USD 750 million)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

38:  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Group classifies derivatives into two types according to the purpose they are entered into: trading or hedging.
In addition to customer and trading activities, the Group uses, inter alia, derivatives to manage the risk associated with its balance sheet
and future revenue streams. The principal objectives of asset and liability management are to hedge the market value of the Group’s capital
and to manage and control the sensitivity of the Group’s income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk.
The Group also uses a variety of foreign exchange derivatives to hedge against adverse movements in the value of foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities and future revenue streams.
Income and loss relating to trading derivatives is reported in the statement of financial performance as other operating income. The fair value
of trading derivatives is recorded on a gross basis as other assets or other liabilities as appropriate unless there is a legal right of set off. The
fair value of a derivative financial instrument is the net present value of future expected cash flows arising from that instrument.
In order to be classified as a hedging derivative the hedging relationship must be expected to be effective.
An effective hedging relationship is one where there is expected to be a high degree of negative correlation between changes in the fair
value of the financial asset being hedged and the derivative nominated as the hedging instrument. This effectiveness is assessed on initial
classification of the hedging relationship. A hedging relationship is either effective or non-effective in its entirety, no accounting adjustment
is made for an assessed percentage of ineffectiveness. Where a hedging relationship is deemed effective it is accounted for in the same
manner as the underlying asset or liability it is hedging. 
During the year NZD0.7 billion hedge of NZD revenue were put in place to lock in historically high NZD exchange rates. Hedge contracts
outstanding at 30 September 2005 totalled NZD4.4 billion (AUD 4.0 billion).
The table below shows the notional principal amount, credit equivalent amount and fair value of derivatives held by the Group, split between
those entered into for customer-related and trading purposes, and those entered into for balance sheet hedging and revenue related hedging.

Detailed below are the net deferred realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from other than trading contracts used to hedge interest
rate exposure or to hedge anticipated transactions. These gains and losses are deferred only to the extent that there is an offsetting
unrecognised gain or loss on the exposure being hedged. Deferred gains or losses are generally amortised over the expected term of the
hedged exposure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

39:  SECURITISATION

During the year ended 30 September 2005, the Group did not securitise any residential mortgage loans (2004: $1,481 million).

All securitised loans have been removed from the Group’s balance sheet and transferred to third party special purpose entities (SPEs).

The Group retains servicing and (for some loans) custodian responsibilities for the loans sold. Following a securitisation, the Group receives
fees for servicing the loans, custodian fees, fees for facilities provided and any excess income derived by the SPE after interest has been paid
to investors and net credit losses and expenses absorbed.

The Group does not hold any material retained interest in the loans that have been sold. There is no recourse against the Group if cash flows
from the securitised loans are inadequate to service the obligations of the SPE except to the limited extent provided in the transaction
documents through the provision of arm’s length services and facilities.

The securities issued by the SPEs do not represent deposits or other liabilities of the Company or the Group. Neither the Company nor the
Group in any way stands behind the capital value or performance of the securities or the assets of the SPEs except to the limited extent
provided in the transaction documents through the provision of arm’s length services and facilities.

The Group may also provide liquidity facilities and other forms of credit enhancement to ensure adequate funds are available to the SPEs.
The facilities are undrawn. The Group also provides hedging facilities to the SPEs to mitigate interest rate and currency risks. All these
transactions are completed on an arm’s length basis.

The following table summarises the cash flows from the SPEs to the Group in respect of assets securitised by the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

40:  SEGMENT ANALYSIS

For management purposes the Group is organised into six major business segments including Personal, Institutional, New Zealand Business,
Corporate, Esanda and UDC and Asia Pacific. An expanded description of the principal activities for each of the business segments is
contained in the Glossary on pages 120 to 121.

A summarised description of each business segment is shown below:

Personal

Institutional

Management, Mortgages and other (including the branch network)

Comprises businesses that provide a full range of financial services to the Group’s largest corporate and institutional
customers including Corporate and Structured Financing, Client Relationship Group, Markets and Trade and 
Transaction Services

New Zealand Business

Provides a full range of banking services for personal, small business and corporate customers in New Zealand and

business excludes Institutional businesses in the Asia Pacific region that are included in the Institutional division.

As the composition of segments has changed over time, September 2004 comparatives have been adjusted to be consistent with the 2005
segment definitions. Comparatives for the year ended 30 September 2003 have not been provided because the data could not reasonably be
disaggregated into the amended segments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

45:  FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES

The Group conducts investment fiduciary activities for trusts, including deceased estates. These trusts have not been consolidated as the
Company does not have direct or indirect control.

Where the Company or its controlled entities incur liabilities in respect of these operations as trustee, where the primary obligation is
incurred in an agency capacity as trustee of the trust rather than on the Group's own account, a right of indemnity exists against the assets of
the applicable funds or trusts. As these assets are sufficient to cover the liabilities and it is therefore not probable that the Company or its
controlled entities will be required to settle the liabilities, the liabilities are not included in the financial statements.

The aggregate amounts of funds concerned are as follows:

Funds management activities are conducted through the ING Australia Joint Venture and certain subsidiaries of ANZ National Bank Limited.
During the period, ANZ National Bank Limited and ING in New Zealand established the ING NZ Joint Venture. In doing so, ANZ National Bank
Limited transferred some of its managed funds activities into the new joint venture and INGA transferred its NZ business.

As at 30 September 2005, the ANZ/ING Australia Joint Venture had funds under management of $34,569 million (30 September 2004:
$35,780 million), the ING NZ Joint Venture had funds under management of $6,839 million (30 September 2004: $nil) and certain
subsidiaries of ANZ National Bank Limited had funds under management of $3,371 million (30 September 2004: $3,764 million).

Custodian services are conducted through ANZ Custodian Services. As at 30 September 2005, ANZ Custodian Services had funds under
custody of $98.3 billion (30 September 2004: $59.8 billion).

The Group leases land and buildings under operating leases expiring from one to five years. Leases generally provide the Group with a right
of renewal at which time all terms are renegotiated. Lease payments comprise a base amount plus an incremental contingent rental.
Contingent rentals are based on either movements in the Consumer Price Index or operating criteria. Contingent rentals are not included in
lease rental commitments, are not provisioned for due to their immateriality, therefore are expensed as incurred.

CREDIT RELATED COMMITMENTS

The credit risk of the following facilities may be less than the contract amount, but as it cannot be accurately determined, the credit risk has
been taken to be the contract amount.

The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to customers maintaining specific credit standards. The amount does not necessarily represent
future cash requirements as many of these facilities are expected to be partially used or to expire unused.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The qualitative details of the estimated maximum amount of contingent liabilities that may become payable relate to non-customer
contingent liabilities. These contingent liabilities relate to transactions that the Group has entered into as principal. By contrast, the
quantitative tabular presentation relates to customer contingent liabilities, ie direct credit substitutes and trade and performance related
items. Hence, as the contingent liabilities refer to different aspects of Group operations, there are no reconciling items.

Guarantees, Credit derivatives – sold, Standby letters of credit, Bill endorsements and Other are classified by APRA as direct credit
substitutes and exhibit the same credit risk characteristics as a direct extension of credit. The maximum potential amount of future payments
represents the contract amount that could be lost if the counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. 

Documentary letters of credit involve the issue of letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter secured against an
underlying shipment of goods or backed by a confirmatory letter of credit from another bank.

Performance related contingents are liabilities that oblige the Group to make payments to a third party should the customer fail to fulfil the
non-monetary terms of the contract. 

The Group guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties. The risk involved is
essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are subjected to the
same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire
without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

The credit risk of these facilities may be less than the contract amount, but as it cannot be accurately determined, the credit risk has been
taken to be the contract amount.

v)  Sale of Grindlays businesses

On July 31 2000, ANZ completed the sale
to Standard Chartered Bank (“SCB”) of
ANZ Grindlays Bank Limited and the
private banking business of ANZ in the
United Kingdom and Jersey, together with
ANZ Grindlays (Jersey) Holdings Limited
and its subsidiaries, for USD1.3 billion in
cash. ANZ provided warranties and certain
indemnities relating to those businesses
and, where it anticipated that payments
would be likely under the warranties or
indemnities, made provisions to cover the
anticipated liability. The issues below have
not impacted the reported results. All
settlements and costs have been covered
within the provisions established at the
time. ANZ remains liable in relation to the
Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA)
and differential cheques matters
described below.

FERA

In 1991, amounts of INR 689m (AUD 21m)
were transferred from non-convertible
Indian Rupee accounts maintained with
Grindlays in India, mainly to the
convertible vostro account at Girobank,
maintained at Bombay. These transactions
may not have complied with the
provisions of the Foreign Exchange
Regulation Act, 1973. Grindlays, on its
own initiative, brought these transactions
to the attention of the Reserve Bank of
India. The Indian authorities have served
notices on Grindlays and certain of its
officers in India that could lead to
possible penalties. Grindlays has
commenced proceedings in the courts
contesting the validity of these notices. 
In November 1998 the Bombay High Court
dismissed the writ petitions. In March
1999 the Supreme Court granted leave
to appeal and ordered that, pending the
disposal of the appeals, the prosecutions
and adjudications against the officers
shall not be proceeded with further. 
Final hearing of the appeals before the
Supreme Court of India is expected in 
late 2005. 

Some matters have been listed by the ATO
for further investigation.

The ATO is also reviewing the taxation
treatment of certain other transactions
undertaken by the Group in the course of
normal business activities.

In addition, at the Company’s request the
ATO is reviewing the taxation treatment of
the sale of Grindlays in 2000. It is also
reviewing the transfer of the life and funds
management businesses into the joint
venture with ING in 2002.

During the year the Company and the ATO
settled the remaining outstanding issues
from the large case tax audit which
commenced in 1995. The settlement was
within existing provisions.

The Group in New Zealand is being
audited by the Inland Revenue
Department (IRD) as part of normal
revenue authority procedures, with a
particular focus on certain kinds of
structured finance transactions. The IRD
has issued Notices of Proposed
Adjustment (the ‘Notices’) in respect of
some of those structured finance
transactions. The Notices are not tax
assessments and do not establish a tax
liability, but are the first step in a formal
disputes process. In addition, some tax
assessments have been received. Should
the same position be adopted by the IRD
on the remaining transactions of that kind
as reflected in the Notices and tax
assessments received, the maximum
potential tax liability would be
approximately NZD432 million (including
interest tax effected) for the period to 
30 September 2005. Of that maximum
potential liability, approximately NZD124
million is subject to tax indemnities
provided by Lloyds TSB Bank PLC under
the agreement by which ANZ acquired the
National Bank of New Zealand and which
relate to transactions undertaken by the
National Bank of New Zealand before
December 2003.

General or issue-specific audits and other
investigations are being undertaken by
revenue authorities in the United States,
the United Kingdom and in other
jurisdictions as part of normal revenue
authority activity in those countries.

The Company has assessed these and
other taxation claims arising in Australia,
New Zealand and elsewhere, including
seeking independent advice where
appropriate, and believes that it holds
appropriate provisions.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

47:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES,
CONTINGENT ASSET AND CREDIT
RELATED COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

The details and estimated maximum
amount of contingent liabilities that may
become payable are set out below.

i)  Clearing and Settlement Obligations

In accordance with the clearing and
settlement arrangements set out:

n in the Australian Payments Clearing

Association Limited (APCA) Regulations
for the Australian Paper Clearing
System, the Bulk Electronic Clearing
System, the Consumer Electronic
Clearing System and the High Value
Clearing System (HVCS), the Company
has a commitment to rules which could
result in a bilateral exposure and loss
in the event of a failure to settle by a
member institution; and

n in the Austraclear System Regulations,
the Company has a commitment to
participate in loss-sharing
arrangements in the event of a failure to
settle by a member institution. For both
the APCA HVCS and Austraclear, the
obligation arises only in limited
circumstances.

ii) Nominee Activities

The Group will indemnify each customer
of controlled entities engaged in nominee
activities against loss suffered by reason
of such entities failing to perform any
obligation undertaken by them to a
customer.

iii)  Interbank Deposit Agreement

ANZ has entered into an Interbank Deposit
Agreement with the major banks in the
payments system. This agreement is a
payment system support facility certified
by the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority, where the terms are such that
if any bank is experiencing liquidity
problems, the other participants are
required to deposit equal amounts of up
to $2 billion for a period of 30 days. At the
end of 30 days the deposit holder has the
option to repay the deposit in cash or by
way of assignment of mortgages to the
value of the deposit.

iv)  Contingent Tax Liability

The Group in Australia was during the year
subjected to client risk reviews by the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO) across
a broad spectrum of matters, as part of
normal ATO procedures. The reviews
mainly covered years up to 2003. 

66

 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

47:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, CONTINGENT ASSET AND CREDIT RELATED COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

Differential Cheques

In June 2003, Grindlays was successful in its appeal against orders to repay, with interest, two payments it received from a stockbroker in
1991 in connection with securities transactions Grindlays had entered into with counterparty banks. These orders, requiring Grindlays to
show cause why the payments made by the stockbroker should not be set aside on the grounds that they were not made in the ordinary
course of business and were not genuine, had directed repayment of Indian Rupees 24 million (AUD 0.7m), plus interest accruing at 24%
since 1991. The Custodian has yet to file an appeal against this judgment. Grindlays is awaiting the outcome of proceedings in relation to a
further ten payments received by it in 1991 in similar circumstances totalling Indian Rupees 202 million (AUD 6.0m), including interest at
24% this is approximately Indian Rupees 884 million (AUD 26.4 m).

In addition, ANZ provided an indemnity relating to tax liabilities of Grindlays (and its subsidiaries) and the Jersey Sub-Group to the extent to
which such liabilities were not provided for in the Grindlays accounts as at 31 July 2000. Claims have been made under this indemnity also,
with no material impact on the Group expected.

vi)  Pursuant to class order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, relief was granted to a number of wholly owned controlled entities
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit, and publication of individual financial statements. The results of these
companies are included in the consolidated Group results. The entities to which relief was granted are:

n ANZ Properties (Australia) Pty Ltd1
n ANZ Capital Hedging Pty Ltd1
n ANZ Nominees Ltd1
n ANZ Infrastructure Investments Limited3

n Alliance Holdings Pty Ltd1
n Jikk Pty Ltd1
n ANZ Orchard Investments Pty Ltd2
n ANZ Securities (Holdings) Limited3

n E S & A Holdings Pty Ltd1
n ANZ Funds Pty Ltd1
n Votraint No. 1103 Pty Ltd2

1 Relief granted on 21 August 2001
2 Relief granted on 13 August 2002
3 Relief granted on 9 September 2003

It is the condition of the class order that the Company and each of the above controlled entities enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. A Deed
of Cross Guarantee under the class order was lodged and approved by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The effect of
the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up any of the controlled entities
under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. The Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not
been paid in full. The controlled entities have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up. The consolidated
statement of financial performance and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company and its wholly owned controlled entities
which have entered into the Deed of Cross Guarantee are:

vii)  The Company has guaranteed payment on maturity of the principal and accrued interest of commercial paper notes issued by
ANZ (Delaware) Inc. of $6,400 million as at 30 September 2005 (2004: $7,081 million).

viii)  The Company is party to an underpinning agreement with ANZ National Bank Limited whereby the Company undertakes to assume risk
in relation to credit facilities extended by ANZ National Bank Limited to individual customers which exceed 35% of ANZ National Bank
Limited’s capital base.

ix)  The Company is party to an underpinning agreement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited whereby the Company
undertakes to assume risk in relation to credit facilities extended by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited to individual
customers which exceed 25% of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited’s capital base.

x)  On 10 March 2005, leave was given by the High Court in London to certain parties to make a claim against ANZ over its role in 1996 as
arranger and escrow agent in respect of a buyback of Nigerian Government bills of exchange (“the Noga claim”). The claim was disclosed by
ANZ in view of its potential size (DEM 973 million [$833 million at 31 March 2005 exchange rates] plus interest). ANZ considered the Noga
claim to be opportunistic and that the chances of it being successful were very remote. ANZ took the opportunity to settle the proceedings
at an early stage at a level which is not material to the bank.

GENERAL

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims against the Group, the aggregate amount of which cannot readily
be quantified. Appropriate legal advice has been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions as deemed necessary have been made.
The gross amounts of accruals made for material litigation contingencies is $233 million (2004: $168 million).

Contingent Asset

National Housing Bank

In 1992, Grindlays received a claim aggregating approximately Indian Rupees 5.06 billion from the National Housing Bank (NHB) in India. The
claim arose out of cheques drawn by NHB in favour of Grindlays, the proceeds of which were credited to the account of a Grindlays customer.

Grindlays won an arbitration award in March 1997, under which NHB paid Grindlays an award of Indian Rupees 9.12 billion. NHB
subsequently won an appeal to the Special Court of Mumbai, after which Grindlays filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of India. Grindlays
paid the disputed money including interest into court. Ultimately, the parties settled the matter and agreed to share the moneys paid into
court which by then totalled Indian Rupees 16.45 billion (AUD 661 million at 19 January 2002 exchange rates), with Grindlays receiving
Indian Rupees 6.20 billion (AUD 248 million at 19 January 2002 exchange rates) of the disputed monies. ANZ in turn received a payment of
USD124 million (USD equivalent of the Indian Rupees received by Grindlays) from Standard Chartered Bank under the terms of an indemnity
given in connection with the sale of Grindlays to Standard Chartered Bank.

ANZ Claims

ANZ is pursuing two separate actions arising from the above.

(a) A $130 million plus compound interest claim against its insurers. $130 million is the balance of the limit of indemnity under ANZ’s
insurance arrangements for the 1991–92 policy year.

The proceedings, in the Supreme Court of Victoria, are against ANZ’s captive insurance company ANZcover Insurance Pty Ltd (ANZcover).
ANZcover is an authorised general insurer restricted to insuring the interests of ANZ and its subsidiaries. ANZcover in turn purchases
reinsurance from global reinsurers, primarily in the London reinsurance market. ANZcover has no retained exposure to the NHB claim, which
is fully reinsured, save for a small exposure arising from the insolvency of some reinsurers in the London market.

The insurers contest liability and the proceedings remain on foot. The trial before the Supreme Court of Victoria is scheduled to be heard in
early 2006.

(b) ANZ is entitled to share with NHB in the proceeds of any recovery from the estate of the customer whose account was credited with the
cheques drawn by NHB. However, the Indian Taxation Department is claiming a statutory priority to all of the funds available for distribution
to creditors of that customer.

No amounts receivable under either of these actions have been recognised in these accounts, except for $0.9 million which has been
received from insurers, by way of settlement or distributions from schemes of arrangement, representing, in aggregate, $1.1 million of
indemnity.

ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme Pension Section
The Pension Section of the ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme is closed to new members. A full actuarial valuation, conducted 
by the Scheme Actuary, Russell Employee Benefits, as at 31 December 2004 showed a deficit of $5 million and the expectation is that this
deficit has remained materially unchanged since that date. 

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme's Trust Deed to commence contributions or fund the deficit. An interim actuarial
valuation will be conducted as at 31 December 2005, at which time the funding position will be reassessed. The next full actuarial valuation
is due to be conducted as at 31 December 2007.

ANZ UK Staff Pension Scheme
The deficit disclosed above for the UK Staff Pension Scheme has been determined for the purpose of AASB1028 “Employee Benefits”.

Consulting actuaries Watson Wyatt LLP have advised that as at 31 December 2003 the Scheme would have met the minimum funding
requirement (MFR) test as defined in UK legislation, being 115% funded on that basis. Following an interim actuarial valuation of the Scheme
at 31 December 2004, the actuary expects the Scheme’s funding level to be comfortably within the MFR and statutory surplus limits.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to fund the deficit, but it does have a contingent liability if the Scheme 
was wound up. If this were to happen, the Trustee would be able to pursue the Bank for additional contributions under the UK Employer Debt
Regulations. This is calculated based on an insurance buy-out of the Scheme. This is considered unlikely, given the Group intends to
continue the Scheme on an on-going basis and the financial strength of the Group.

From 1 October 2003, the Group recommenced contributions at the rate of 25% of pensionable salaries. These contributions are sufficient
to cover the cost of accruing benefits. In order to address the deficit, the Group has agreed to pay half yearly additional contributions of GBP
500,000 for a period of 15 years, commencing for the year beginning 1 October 2004, with the first payment made in November 2004.

National Bank Staff Superannuation Fund
The last full actuarial valuation of the pension section of the National Bank Staff Superannuation Fund was conducted by Aon Consulting NZ
as at 31 March 2004, and showed a deficit of NZD6 million ($6 million). Based on an interim actuarial valuation, a deficit of NZD12 million
($11 million) was disclosed as at 30 September 2004. An actuarial valuation conducted as at 31 March 2005 showed a deficit of NZD8.6
million ($8 million). The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to fund the deficit, but it does have a contingent
liability if the Scheme was wound up. Under the Scheme’s Trust Deed, if the Scheme were wound up, the Group is required to pay the
Trustees of the Scheme an amount sufficient to ensure members do not suffer a reduction in benefits to which they would otherwise be
entitled.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

49:  EMPLOYEE SHARE AND OPTION PLANS

The Company has three share purchase and option incentive plans available for employees and directors of the Group: the ANZ Employee
Share Acquisition Plan1; the ANZ Share Option Plan; and the ANZ Directors' Share Plan. Shareholders of the Company have approved the
implementation of each of the current plans. Fully paid ordinary shares issued under these plans are held in trust on behalf of participants
and generally rank equally with other existing fully paid ordinary shares, other than in respect of voting rights while the shares remain in
trust. However, Performance Shares issued to the ANZ CEO on 31 December 2004, do not attract a dividend. 

Each option granted under the ANZ Share Option Plan entitles a holder to purchase one ordinary share subject to any terms and conditions
imposed on issue. The exercise price of the options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan, is based on the weighted average
price of the Company's shares traded during the five business days preceding the date of granting the options. 

An offer to employees and directors cannot be made under any of the plans if an issue pursuant to that offer will result in the aggregate of
shares issued and options granted over unissued shares held for employees under various employee share and option incentive schemes
exceeding 7% of the issued capital (and unexercised options) of the Company. The closing market price of one ordinary share at 30
September 2005 was $24.00.

1  The ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan includes the $1,000 Share Plan, the Deferred Share Plan and the Employee Share Save Scheme

ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE ACQUISITION PLAN

$1,000 Share Plan
Subject to Board approval this plan allows for the issue of up to $1,000 of shares to all eligible employees each financial year.

The shares are generally issued for no consideration, except in New Zealand where employees are required to pay NZD 1 cent per share at
the time the shares are transferred to them. During the financial year, 1,151,157 shares with an average issue price of $20.03 were issued
under the $1,000 Share Plan (2004: 1,244,654 shares with an average issue price of $18.04 were issued). These shares are issued from the
Share Capital account, hence only an increase in the number of shares on issue results. 

Details of the movement in employee shares under the $1,000 Share Plan are as follows:

Number of shares at beginning of the year
Number of shares issued to the trust
Number of shares distributed to employees
Number of shares forfeited

Number of shares at end of the year1

Deferred Share Plan
Selected employees may also be issued deferred shares, which vest in the employee up to three years from the date of issue. Ordinary
shares issued under this plan may be held in trust for up to 10 years, and may be required to meet performance hurdles before being able 
to be traded after the restriction period has expired. The issue price is based on the volume weighted average price of the shares traded 
on the ASX in the 5 trading days leading up to and including the date of issue. Unvested shares are forfeited on resignation, dismissal, 
or termination on notice (LTI deferred shares only), or if a performance condition has not been met.

During the financial year, 655,261 (2004: 2,750,277) deferred shares were issued under this Plan. 

Details of the movement in employee shares under the Deferred Share Plan are as follows:

ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE SAVE SCHEME

Eligible employees have the opportunity to request that a proportion of their income be directed to the purchase of ANZ shares. The amount
they elect to contribute is deducted fortnightly and shares are purchased on market quarterly in arrears by the trust. The Company
contributes 5% of the purchase price and pays for brokers fees and stamp duty. Senior executives may participate but are not eligible to
receive the 5% discount. Employees are eligible to participate in the Scheme if they are permanent full-time or part-time employees of the
Company and have been employed since 1 October immediately prior to the invitation being made by the Company. Employees nominate a
restriction period between 1 to 10 years during which period the shares are held in trust. Dividends are paid to the employees.

Details of the movement in employee shares under the ANZ Employee Share Save Scheme are as follows:

shares held under the scheme fully paid up and redeemed during the 2004 financial year. No fully paid ordinary shares have been issued
under this Scheme since 1996.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

49:  EMPLOYEE SHARE AND OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
On 24 October 2003 the Company issued a prospectus to invite shareholders to participate in a pro-rata renounceable rights issue.
In accordance with the rules set out in the ANZ Share Option Plan in the event of a rights issue, the exercise price of options granted under
the plan is to be reduced in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22. As as result, the exercise price of each option issued under the ANZ Share
Option Plan is reduced by 72 cents from the amount previously disclosed.

Details of performance hurdles applicable to options are as follows:

A The percentage change of the ANZ Total Shareholder Return (ANZ TSR) to exceed the percentage change of the S&P/ASX 200 Banks
(Industry Group) Accumulation Index from date of issue to any time from the third anniversary date up to and including the proposed
exercise date.

B & C During the four-year period commencing three years, and ending seven years, after the issue date of the options:

n 50% of the options allocated may be exercised by the option holder subject to the ANZ TSR exceeding the percentage change in the

S&P/ASX 200 Banks (Industry Group) Accumulation Index measured over the same period and calculated as at the last trading day of any
month; and

n 50% of the options allocated may be exercised by the option holder subject to the ANZ TSR exceeding the percentage change in the

S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index measured over the same period and calculated as at the last trading day of any month.

D Options may be exercised at month’s end during the four-year period commencing three years, and ending seven years, after the issue
date of the options. The exercise price will be set according to the movement in the S&P/ASX 200 Banks (Industry Group) Accumulation
Index (excluding ANZ) since issue date, and can be no lower than the base issue price.

DSR No performance hurdles apply. Deferred Share Rights may only be exercised between the third and seventh anniversary of their issue.

E The options may be exercised only if the ANZ Accumulation Index over the period from the date on which the options are granted to the
last trading day of any month occurring during the relevant exercise period, equals or exceeds the S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index
calculated over the same period (applicable to the CEO only).

F One half of the options may be exercised only if the ANZ TSR calculated over the period commencing on the date of grant and ending on
the last day of any month after the second anniversary of their date of grant exceeds the percentage change in the S&P/ASX 200 Banks
(Industry Group) Accumulation Index over that same period; and the other half of the options may be exercised only if the ANZ TSR
calculated over the relevant period exceeds the percentage change in the S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index over that same period
(applicable to the CEO only).

G Exercise of options is subject to the satisfaction of time and performance based hurdles. Options may be exercised during the four year
period commencing three years, and ending seven years, after the issue date of the Options subject to meeting the following performance
hurdle. The performance hurdle will be measured during the exercise period by comparing ANZ’s Total Shareholder Return (ANZ’s TSR)
against a comparator group of major financial services companies in the ASX Top 50, excluding the ANZ, as determined by the Board
Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The options become exercisable depending on ANZ’s ranking within the comparator group.
ANZ must rank at the 50th percentile for 50% of the options to become exercisable. For each 1% increase above the 50th percentile an
additional 2% of options will become exercisable, with 100% being exercisable where ANZ ranks at or above the 75th percentile. This will be
calculated as at the last trading day of any month (once the exercise period has commenced).

N No performance hurdles apply. Once the exercise period has been reached, the options may be exercised. As their purpose is
predominately retention and to share in any growth in the share price, additional hurdles are not applied.

These options will expire immediately on termination of employment, except in the event of retirement, retrenchment, death or disablement
or where agreed by the directors of the Company, in which case the exercise of the options may be allowed.

In the event of a takeover offer or takeover announcement, the directors of the Company may allow the options to be exercised. 

If there is a bonus issue prior to the expiry or exercise of the options, then upon exercise of the options, option holders are entitled to those
shares as if the options had been exercised prior to that issue. Those shares will be allotted to the option holder when the options are exercised.

COMMENTARY ON CHANGES BETWEEN
2004 AND 2005

Non-Executive Directors (NEDs)

Primary Total Remuneration has increased
by $212,114. This increase is as a result of:
i) Timing differences between the
appointment of DE Meiklejohn and 
JP Morschel, and the retirement of
BW Scott and JC Dahlsen. 
ii) Increase in Chairman’s fees of $71,000
in recognition of increased demands of the
role, relativity to peers, and to maintain
equitable relativity with other NEDs.
iii) The full year effect of the addition 
of GJ Clark to the Board.

76

The Post-Employment Retirement Benefit
accrued during the year has increased by
$511,120 from the previous period due 
to the following:
i) $95,286 resulting from fee increases
over the last 3 years being taken into
account for the purpose of the directors’
retirement benefits. 
ii) $415,634 of this is due to amendments
made during the year to the individual
agreements with NEDs to make the
formula for calculating the amount payable
under them consistent for all NEDs. In
some instances this has resulted in the
amount accrued during the year being
increased to take account of the impact
of the change to the formula on previous
years’ accrued benefits. In each case
under the relevant agreement, the 

maximum amount that may be paid to 
a NED as a retirement benefit is subject to
the limits in the Corporations Act.

Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer)

There was no change to J McFarlane’s fixed
remuneration which remained at $2,000,000,
including superannuation contributions. 
His short-term incentive target for 2005 was
increased to $2,000,000 (100% of his fixed
remuneration) in accordance with his contract
extension announced on 26 October 2004.
His actual payment was $2,100,000
(compared to $1,850,000 in 2004) reflecting
the Board’s assessment of his performance
against agreed balanced scorecard
objectives which include ANZ’s financial
performance and its performance against
specified measures for shareholders,
customers, staff and the community.

1 Non-monetary benefits for all directors are nil.
2 Shares acquired through participation in Directors’ Share Plan (relates to CEO only in relation to cash incentive, as NEDs do not participate in Short-Term Incentive

arrangements). Value reflects the price at which the shares were purchased on market (amortisation not applicable). 

3 100% of the CEO’s cash incentive vested during the financial year.
4 Accrual relates to Directors’ Retirement Scheme. The following benefits were paid under the Directors’ Retirement Scheme to the following former directors: JC Dahlsen (retired 3 February 2005) 

– $513,668; BW Scott (retired 23 April 2005)– $516,214. If each of the current NEDs had ceased to be a director as at 30 September 2005, the following benefits would have been
payable under the Directors’ Retirement Scheme: CB Goode – $1,312,539; GJ Clark – $83,197; RS Deane – $693,285; JK Ellis – $523,039; DM Gonski – $249,445; MA Jackson – $487,022; 
DE Meiklejohn – $64,781; JP Morschel – $60,459. The Directors’ Retirement Scheme will be discontinued effective 30 September 2005. Refer to section B2 for more information pertaining to the 
Directors’ Retirement Scheme.

5 In accordance with the requirements of AASB1046A, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of all equity that had not yet
fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. It is assumed that 100% of the options will vest at the commencement of their exercise period (i.e. the shortest possible vesting period is
assumed). The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the expected vesting period. The fair value is determined using a binomial option-pricing model that is
explained in Note 51 Equity Instruments Transactions section I. The amount included as remuneration is not related to nor indicative of the benefit (if any) that may ultimately be realised should the 
options become exercisable. For deferred shares, the fair value is the weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the day the shares were granted. 

6 Amortisation value of options as a percentage of his total remuneration (as shown in the Total column above) was 25% in 2005 (37% in 2004).
7 Amounts disclosed for remuneration of directors exclude insurance premiums paid by the consolidated entity in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts which cover current

and former directors and officers, including executive officers of the entity and directors, executive officers and secretaries of the controlled entities. The total premium, which cannot be disclosed 
because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the directors believe that no reasonable 
basis for such allocation exists.

COMMENTARY ON CHANGES BETWEEN

Specified Executives

The differences in Total Remuneration
between 2004 and 2005 for Specified
Executives are as a result of the following:

i) Total Employment Costs (TEC) or fixed
remuneration increases between 2004
and 2005 are in line with ANZ’s guiding
principles (refer to sections C1 and C3),
and to reflect role changes for BC Hartzer;
increased responsibility for GK Hodges
and market pressures.

ii) Increase in target short term incentive
(STI) amounts (for all Specified Executives
except for Sir J Anderson), from 67% of
TEC to 100% of TEC in order to meet
competitive pressures.

1 Non monetary benefits provided to Specified Executives consist of salary packaged items such as car parking and novated lease motor vehicles.
2  Total cash incentive relates to the full incentive amount for the financial year ended 30 September 2005. A portion of the STI was delivered as deferred shares in 2004.
3 100% of the Specified Executives’ cash incentive vested to the person in the financial year.
4  Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ prior to November 1992, RJ Edgar and GK Hodges are eligible to receive a Retirement Allowance on retirement,

5 

retrenchment, death, or resignation for illness, incapacity or domestic reasons. The Retirement Allowance is calculated as follows: 3 months of notional salary (which is 65% of fixed remuneration) 
plus an additional 3% of notional salary for each year of full-time service above 10 years, less the total accrual value of long service leave (including taken and untaken).
In accordance with the requirements of AASB1046A, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of all equity that had not yet
fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. It is assumed that 100% of the options will vest at the commencement of their exercise period (i.e. the shortest possible vesting period is
assumed) and that deferred shares will vest after 3 years. The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the 3-year vesting period. For options, the fair value is
determined using a Binomial Option Pricing model that is explained in Note 51 section I. The amount included as remuneration is not related to nor indicative of the benefit (if any) that may ultimately
be realised should the options become exercisable. For deferred shares, the fair value is the weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the day the shares were granted.

6 Amortisation of other equity allocations for Sir J Anderson relates to the granting of zero priced options (ZPO). ZPOs are granted as part of his employment contract. Refer to section E2 for further 

details. Amortisation of other equity allocations for S Targett relates to the grant of deferred shares beginning on 11 May 2004 (four tranches to the value of $700,000 each to be issued at 6 month 
intervals in May and November in 2004 and 2005, subject to Board approval and continued employment) and hurdled A options (refer to Note 51 Equity Instruments Transactions section K for 
performance hurdle details) to compensate S Targett for the loss of access to equity as a result of his resignation from his previous employer.

7  Amounts disclosed for remuneration of Specified Executives exclude insurance premiums paid by the consolidated entity in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts which cover
current and former directors and officers, including executive officers of the entity and directors, executive officers and secretaries of the controlled entities. The total premium, which cannot be
disclosed because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the directors believe that no
reasonable basis for such allocation exists.

8 Amounts paid in NZD are converted to AUD at an average rate for the year of 1.0847 (1.1254 in 2004).
9 Sir J Anderson was appointed 1 December 2003 (i.e. 2 months after the start of the 2004 financial year) and S Targett was appointed 5 May 2004 (i.e. 7 months after the start of the 2004 

financial year)

10 Amortisation value of options as a % of total remuneration for the 2005 financial year was as follows; Sir J Anderson - 25% (15% in 2004); Dr R J Edgar - 10% (12% in 2004); 
E Funke Kupper - 11% (18% in 2004); B C Hartzer - 11% (17% in 2004); G K Hodges - 10% (14% in 2004); P R Marriott - 12% (17% in 2004); S Targett - 11% (12% in 2004)

SECTION B.  NON-EXECUTIVE
DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

B1.  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’
REMUNERATION POLICY

Non-executive Directors’ (NEDs) fees are
reviewed annually and are determined by
the Board of Directors based on advice
from external advisors and with reference
to fees paid to other NEDs of comparable
companies. NEDs’ fees are within the
maximum aggregate limit agreed to by
shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting held on 13 December 2002 
($2.5 million, excluding retirement
allowances and superannuation), and 
are set at levels that fairly represent the
responsibilities of, and the time spent by,
the NEDs on Group matters. NEDs receive
a fee for being a director of the Board, 
and additional fees for either chairing or
being a member of a committee. Work on
special committees may attract additional
fees of an amount considered appropriate
in the circumstances. An additional fee is
also paid if a NED serves as a director of
ANZ National Bank Limited, ING Australia
Ltd or Metrobank Card Corporation. NEDs
do not receive any performance/incentive
payments and are not eligible to participate
in any of the Group’s incentive arrangements. 

The Chairman Fee was increased to
$500,000 effective 1 October 2004 in
recognition of the demands of the role,
market practice and in order to maintain
desired relativity with other directors. No
other adjustments were made to NED fees
for the year ending 30 September 2005.

The fee structure is illustrated in 
Table 3 below:

and Technology Committee, where the current Chair and
Member Fees are $21,000 and $6,300 respectively. 

For details of remuneration paid to
directors for the year ended 30 September
2005, refer to Table 1 in section A. 

NED Shareholding Guidelines
NEDs have agreed to accumulate ANZ
shares, over a five-year period, to the
value of 100% (200% for Chairman) of
the base annual NED Fee and to maintain 
this shareholding while a director of ANZ.
NEDs have agreed to apply up to 25% of

80

their base fee annually via the Director’s
Share Plan or other means, towards the
purchase of ANZ shares in order to
achieve/ maintain the desired holding
level. This is a new guideline which was
approved by the Board in September 2005. 

B2.  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’
RETIREMENT POLICY

All NEDs participated in the ANZ Directors’
Retirement Scheme up to the year ended
30 September 2005. Under this scheme, 
a lump-sum retirement benefit was payable
to NEDs upon their ceasing to be a
director. The lump-sum retirement benefit
payable where the NED held office for 
8 years or more was equal to the total
remuneration (excluding retirement benefit
accrual) of the NED in respect of the 3 years
immediately preceding the NED ceasing to
be a NED. For periods of less than 8 years,
a proportionate part of such remuneration
was payable. The NEDs are not entitled to
the statutory entitlements of long service
leave and annual leave. 

Consistent with Principle 9.3 of the
Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) Corporate
Governance Rules, which states that
NEDs should not be provided with
retirement benefits other than statutory
superannuation, the ANZ Directors’
Retirement Scheme was closed effective
30 September 2005. 

Accrued entitlements were fixed at
30 September 2005 and will be carried
forward to retirement, and collected by the
NED when they retire. The entitlements
may be carried forward as:

n Cash Alternative: A cash payment,

being the entitlement accrued to 30
September 2005, plus escalation based
on the 30 day bank bill rate until
retirement date; and/or

n Shares Alternative: A number of ANZ
shares purchased on market on 27
October 2005 to the value of the accrued
entitlement, plus escalation based on
the 30-day bank bill rate for the period
1 October 2005 to 26 October 2005
(subject to Shareholder approval at the
2005 Annual General Meeting). Shares
will then be held in ANZ Employee
Share Trust for the benefit of the
Director until retirement.

NEDs have been asked to nominate the
proportion of their accrued entitlement to
be directed towards each alternative,
subject to shareholder approval.

Fees for NEDs will be increased by 27.5%
effective 1 October 2005 to compensate 
for the removal of this contractual
benefit. This amount was determined

based on an independent actuarial
valuation of the scheme by Mercer 
Finance & Risk Consulting and advice 
from expert remuneration consultants
PricewaterhouseCoopers. This increase 
is also in line with market practice in
relation to fee increases due to the
removal of the Directors’ Retirement
Scheme, where increases have typically
ranged from 25% to 30%. 

NED Fee Cap
There has been no increase in the NED 
fee pool since 2002. Shareholder approval
will be sought at the 2005 Annual General
Meeting for an increase to the NED Fee
Cap by $500,000. This proposed increase
would take the maximum aggregate amount
from $2.5m to $3.0m – an amount which
is considered necessary in order to:

n accommodate the fee adjustment to
compensate for the removal of the
Directors’ Retirement Scheme (27.5%) 
– while the discontinued retirement
benefits under the Constitution are
outside the maximum aggregate limit,
the compensating increase to fees will
be within the limit;

n allow for annual adjustments in line 
with market NED movements; and

n allow for the addition of another NED 

in either 2006 or early 2007.

It is critical that the Company has the
capacity to pay adequate fees to NEDs in
order to attract and retain directors of the
highest calibre.

B3.  DIRECTORS’ SHARE PLAN

The Directors’ Share Plan is available 
to both non-executive and executive
directors. Directors may elect to forgo
remuneration to which they may have
otherwise become entitled and receive
shares to the value of the remuneration
forgone. Participation in the plan is
voluntary, except to the extent that the
NED Shareholding Guidelines must be met
and therefore the shares acquired are not
subject to performance conditions. 

Shares acquired under the plan are
purchased on market and are held in 
trust for up to 10 years. Shares are subject
to a minimum 1 year restriction, during
which the shares cannot be traded, and
are subject to forfeiture for serious
misconduct. All costs associated with 
the plan are met by the Company.

 
SECTION C.  EXECUTIVE
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE

C1.  REMUNERATION GUIDING
PRINCIPLES

ANZ’s reward policy guides the
Compensation & Human Resources
Committee and management in shaping
remuneration strategies and initiatives. 

The following principles underpin 
ANZ’s reward policy:

1. Focus on creating and enhancing value
for ANZ’s shareholders; 

2. Differentiation of individual rewards
commensurate with contribution to overall
results and according to individual
accountability, performance and potential;

3. Significant emphasis on “at risk”
components of total rewards linked to the
enhancement of shareholder value through
improvements in Economic Value Added™
(EVA™); and

4. The provision of a competitive reward
proposition to successfully attract, motivate
and retain the highest quality individuals
required to deliver ANZ’s business and
growth strategies.

During 2005 a comprehensive review 
of reward structures has been conducted
against the backdrop of these principles
and against the Company’s growth strategy
and corporate governance principles. As
a result, a number of changes have been
made. These changes are detailed in
section C4.

Shareholding Guidelines
Direct Reports to the CEO are expected to
accumulate ANZ shares, over a five year
period, to the value of 200% of their Total
Employment Cost (TEC) and to maintain
this shareholding while an executive of
ANZ. Our next most senior executives are
expected to accumulate ANZ shares to the
value of 100% of their TEC and to maintain
this shareholding while an executive of
ANZ. This guideline was introduced in
June 2005. New executives will be
expected to accumulate the required
holdings within five years of appointment.

C2.  REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
OVERVIEW

ANZ’s reward structures are designed to
meet the needs of ANZ’s specialised
business units as well as the markets in
which they operate. As a result, the mix of
remuneration components can vary across
the organisation although, where
practicable, ANZ applies structures and

opportunities on a consistent basis for
similar roles and levels. There is a strong
emphasis on variable remuneration
opportunities with total employee
remuneration differentiated significantly
on the basis of performance.

The executive remuneration program
(which includes the remuneration of
senior managers and the company
secretaries) is designed to support the
reward principles detailed in section 
C1, and to underpin the Company’s
growth strategy. This program aims to
differentiate remuneration on the basis
of achievement against group, business
unit and individual performance targets
which are aligned to sustained growth 
in shareholder value using a balanced
scorecard approach.

The program comprises the following
components: 

n fixed remuneration component

(TEC): salary, non-monetary benefits
and superannuation contributions
(Refer to C3). 

n variable or “at risk” component

(Refer to C4):  

- Short-Term Incentive (STI); and 
- Long-Term Incentive (LTI).

The relative weighting of fixed and 
variable components, for target
performance, is set according to the 
size of the role and competitive market
in which the role operates, with the
proportion of remuneration “at risk”
increasing for the most senior or complex
roles, or for those roles where there is
strong market pressure to provide greater
levels of remuneration. Figure 1 below
shows the relative mix of Fixed, STI and 
LTI at target payment levels.

Fixed remuneration is set around the
median of the market. STI and LTI
payments for on target performance are
also set at market median, however the
plan design allows for the opportunity
to earn upper quartile total remuneration
for significant out performance, and
significantly reduced payment for
underperformance. In this way the
remuneration structure is heavily weighted
towards “reward for performance”.

C3.  FIXED REMUNERATION

For most executives, fixed remuneration
consists of what is referred to as Total
Employment Cost (TEC). TEC comprises
cash salary, a superannuation contribution,
and the remainder as nominated benefits.
The types of benefits that can be packaged
by executives include novated car leases,
additional superannuation contributions,
car parking, child care, laptops and
contributions towards the Employee Share
Save Scheme (see note 49 of the 2005
Financial Report for details of the Employee
Share Save Scheme).

To ensure fixed remuneration remains
competitive, the TEC component of
executive remuneration is reviewed
annually based on individual performance
and market data. ANZ operates with a
midpoint targeted to the market median
being paid in the finance industry in the
relevant global markets in which ANZ
operates, and a range around this
midpoint. International remuneration
levels are considered in assessing market
competitiveness where an executive’s
primary place of residence is outside of
Australia or New Zealand, in which case
the local market is considered.

Refer to E2 for composition of Sir J Anderson’s remuneration

2 The reward mix for larger senior executive roles and smaller senior executive roles is based on average data

anz financial report 2005 81

 
Each executive has a target STI which 
is determined according to seniority and
market relativities. The size of the actual
STI payment made at the end of each
financial year to individuals may be at,
above or below the target and this will
be determined according to ANZ Group,
Division and Individual Performance.

Performance objectives are set at the 
start of each financial year according 
to a balanced scorecard of measures at
the Group, Division and Individual level.
These measures are aligned with the
achievement of ANZ’s business plan, 
and are the most appropriate indicators
of performance. Division and Individual
objectives are a subset of the Group
objectives, which ensures there is
alignment of objectives through the
executive population.

Performance objectives under ANZ’s
balanced scorecard include a number 
of qualitative and quantitative measures
which include, but are not limited to:

n Financial Measures including: Economic
Value Added (EVATM); Revenue and Net
Profit After Tax

n Customer Measures including: Customer

Satisfaction and Market Share 

n Employee Engagement, Risk

Management and Compliance Measures

n Environment, Health & Safety and

Community Measures. 

The STI is payable 100% in cash 
(except where specific business plans
require otherwise). Executives are able 
to elect to sacrifice part or all of their
incentive towards the purchase of ANZ
shares which are restricted from sale 
for 12 months, or towards additional
superannuation contributions.

The target STI award level for Specified
Executives is 100% of TEC in 2005
(increasing from 67% of TEC), with a
maximum STI award of 150% of TEC. 
For larger senior executive roles in the
general ANZ STI plan, the target STI is
67% of TEC, with a maximum of 100% 
of TEC, and for smaller senior executive
roles the target is 43% of TEC and the
maximum 65% of TEC. Note, the target
and maximum STI amounts for larger 
and smaller senior executive roles may
vary for customised incentive schemes. 

C4.2  Long-Term Incentives
Long-term incentives (LTIs) are used as a
mechanism to link a significant portion of
executives’ remuneration to the attainment
of sustained growth in shareholder value.

A comprehensive review of ANZ’s
Long-Term Incentive Program was
conducted in 2005 which resulted in 
a number of changes. The annual LTI
allocation to be made in November 
2005 will now be delivered as 100%
Performance Rights. It was previously
delivered as Hurdled Options (50% of
grant LTI value) and Deferred Shares (50%
of grant LTI value). It was decided that the
entire LTI allocation should be linked to 
a single long-term performance measure.

The size of individual LTI grants is
determined by an individual’s level
of responsibility, performance and the
assessed potential of the executive.
Typically at the most senior levels the
Target LTI value will range from around
10% to 24% of the individual’s target
reward mix, as shown in Figure 1 in
Section C2. 

Executives are advised of their LTI dollar
value, which is then converted into a
number of Performance Rights based 
on an audited valuation. ANZ engages
external experts (PricewaterhouseCoopers
and Mercer Finance & Risk Consulting) to
independently value the Performance
Right, taking into account factors including
the performance conditions, life of
instrument, share price at grant date etc.
These valuations are then audited by KPMG.
The Board then approves use of the
highest value. The LTI dollar value is then
divided by the approved value of the
Performance Right to determine the
number of rights to be allocated.

EXAMPLE

n Executive granted LTI value of $60,000

n Approved Performance Right Valuation 
is $10.85 per Performance Right

n $60,000 / $10.85 = 5,530 Performance
Rights allocated to executive

LTI allocations are made annually in or
around November.

C4.  VARIABLE REMUNERATION

Variable remuneration forms a significant
part of executives’ potential remuneration,
providing an at-risk component that is
designed to drive performance in both the
short-term (annually) and in the medium
and long-term (over 3 years or more).

The opportunities available to executives
under ANZ’s variable reward programs are
calibrated to reflect executives’ potential
impact on the business, to manage internal
relativities, and to ensure competitiveness
in the relevant markets in which they operate.

Most executives participate in the 
short-term incentive (STI) plan detailed in
section C4.1 and the long-term incentive
(LTI) plan detailed in section C4.2, subject
to individual performance thresholds. 
In some instances, customised STI plans
will exist for executives to ensure closer
alignment of their rewards with business
objectives and market practice. For example,
staff in ANZ’s Institutional Division
participate in a customised incentive plan
more closely aligned with that market. 
No executive, however, may participate 
in more than one STI plan.

Equity allocated under ANZ incentive
schemes remain at risk until fully vested
(in the case of Deferred Shares) or are
exercisable (in the case of options or
Performance Rights). As such, it is a
condition of grant that no schemes are
entered into that specifically protect the
unvested value of shares, options and
Performance Rights allocated. Doing so
would constitute a breach of the grant
conditions and would result in the forfeiture
of the relevant shares or options.

C4.1  Short-Term Incentives
ANZ’s STI approach supports our strategic
objectives by providing rewards that are
significantly differentiated on the basis of
achievement against performance targets.
Most executives participate in the plan
explained below. All STI plans are reviewed
and approved by the Compensation &
Human Resources Committee.

Determination of Award Levels
The size of the overall pool available each
year is determined based on ANZ Group
performance against a balanced scorecard
of financial and qualitative measures. 
This pool is then distributed amongst
divisions and then individuals based 
on relative performance. 

82

 
Comparator Group
The peer group of companies against
which ANZ’s TSR performance is measured,
comprises the following companies: 

AMP Limited

AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Limited

Commonwealth Bank of Australia

Insurance Australia Group Limited

Macquarie Bank Limited

National Australia Bank Limited

QBE Insurance Group Limited

St George Bank Limited

Suncorp-Metway Limited 

Westpac Banking Corporation

This comparator group was chosen
because it represents ANZ’s key competitors
in the financial services industry, are an
appropriate reference group for investors
and are of sufficient size by market
capitalisation and weight in ASX Top 50.

Refer to Equity Instruments Transactions
Section K in Note 51 for details pertaining
to legacy LTI equity vehicles (which are 
yet to vest).

Performance Rights
(To be granted from October 2005)
A Performance Right is a right to acquire 
a share at nil cost, subject to satisfactorily
meeting time and performance hurdles.
Upon exercise, each Performance Right
entitles the holder to one ordinary share.
Performance Rights are ANZ’s preferred LTI
delivery vehicle as they provide a clearer,
more tangible value to the executive,
subject to satisfactorily performing relative
to the performance hurdle for vesting.
Performance Rights are designed to reward
executives for share price growth dependent
upon the Company’s Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) outperforming peers. TSR
represents the change in the value of a
share plus the value of reinvested dividends
paid. TSR was chosen as the most
appropriate comparative measure as it
focuses on the delivery of shareholder
value and is a well understood and tested
mechanism to measure performance.

The TSR vesting scale is designed 
to ensure that executive rewards are
directly linked to the Company’s TSR and
are therefore aligned to the outcomes
experienced by other shareholders. 
The proportion of Performance Rights
that become exercisable will depend 
upon the TSR achieved by ANZ relative to
the companies in the comparator group
(shown below) over a three-year period.
There will not be any retesting feature.

Performance equal to the 50th percentile
of the comparator group will result in half
the Performance Rights becoming
exercisable. Performance above the 50th
percentile will result in further Performance
Rights becoming exercisable, increasing
on a straight-line basis until all of the
Performance Rights become exercisable
where ANZ’s TSR is at or above the 75th
percentile when compared with the
comparator group. TSR is measured on 
a pro-rata basis; where ANZ’s performance
falls between two of the comparators, the
actual relative level of TSR, rather than
simple ranking, will determine the level
of vesting.

An averaging calculation will be used 
for TSR over a 90 day period for start
and end values in order to reduce share
price volatility.

It should also be noted that where median
performance is achieved, executives’ total
remuneration will typically be below market
median for the financial services industry.
75th percentile performance is required
for full vesting which enables executives
to receive the full value of their LTI. To
ensure an independent TSR measurement,
ANZ engages the services of an external
organisation (Macquarie Financial Services)
to calculate ANZ’s performance against
the TSR hurdle.

The conditions under which Performance
Rights are granted are approved by the
Board in accordance with the rules of the
ANZ Share Option Plan. Performance
conditions are explained in more 
detail below.

Each Performance Right has the 
following features
n The performance hurdle is tested at

the end of three years;

n No dividends will be payable on the
Performance Rights until they vest;

n A two-year exercise period that

commences three years after the grant
date subject to the performance hurdle
being cleared;

n Upon exercise, each Performance Right

entitles the holder to one ordinary
share;

n In case of dismissal for misconduct,
Performance Rights are forfeited;

n In case of resignation or termination 

on notice, only Performance Rights that
become exercisable by the end of the
notice period may be exercised;

n In case of retrenchment or retirement,

Performance Rights will be performance
tested at the date of termination, and
where performance hurdles have been
met, Performance Rights will be pro-
rated and a grace period provided in
which to exercise;

n In case of death or total and permanent
disablement, a grace period is provided
in which to exercise all Performance
Rights. The hurdles would be waived;
and

n Performance hurdle, which is

explained above.

ANZ’s TSR performance against the
median TSR of the LTI comparator 
group and the S&P/ASX 200 Banks

to 2005 measurement period. The 
difference between S&P/ASX 200

median of ANZ’s comparator group over
the 2004 and 2005 financial years is
due to the weightings in the Index of
the large banking institutions that have
underperformed comparatively during
this period; whereas the organisations
in ANZ’s comparator group are
weighted evenly.

SECTION D.  CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER’S REMUNERATION

D1.  CEO REMUNERATION OVERVIEW

The structure of J McFarlane’s remuneration,
which is in accordance with his
employment agreement, is as follows:

n Fixed Remuneration: Consists of
salary, benefits and superannuation
contributions. Since October 2003, 
J McFarlane has elected to receive almost
all of his Fixed Remuneration in the form
of shares purchased under the Directors’
Share Plan. These shares are not subject
to a performance condition as they are
provided in place of cash remuneration 
at the CEO’s choice. However, they are
subject to forfeiture in case of termination
for serious misconduct.

n Short-Term Incentive: The Board sets
J McFarlane’s balanced scorecard at the
beginning of the financial year. The Board
then assesses performance against these
objectives at the end of the year. These
objectives are aligned with the achievement
of ANZ’s business plan, and are the most
appropriate indicators of performance.
These objectives include a number of
quantitative and qualitative measures,
which include (but are not limited to)
financial, customer, people, environment
and community measures. J McFarlane’s
STI may be paid in cash or in shares
purchased under the Directors’ Share
Plan. J McFarlane has typically elected 
to receive shares. 

n Long-Term Incentive: J McFarlane’s
Long-Term Incentive is made up of Hurdled
Options and Performance Shares as
approved by shareholders at the 2001 and
2004 Annual General Meetings respectively.
The performance conditions pertaining to
the options issued during the year are
indicated in Equity Instruments
Transactions Section K1 Hurdled A options
of Note 51.

The remuneration of J McFarlane for the
year ended 30 September 2005 is set out
in Table 1 in Section A. The mix of
remuneration for J McFarlane under his
current contract is made up as follows: 

n Fixed Remuneration of $2,000,000
per annum; 

n Target variable Short-Term Incentive of
$2,000,000 per annum; 

n Long-Term Incentive of $2,600,000 – 
one allocation only (based on valuation 
of 175,000 performance shares at issue).

Shareholding Guideline
The Chief Executive Officer of ANZ is
expected to accumulate ANZ shares, over
a five year period, to the value of 200% of
his Fixed Remuneration and to maintain
this shareholding while CEO of ANZ. This
shareholding guideline was introduced 

in September 2005 and adherence to this
guideline will be regularly monitored.

D2.  CEO’S CONTRACT TERMS

On 26 October 2004, the Company
announced an extension to 
J McFarlane’s contract: 

n The term of the contract was extended
by one year to 30 September 2007; 

n In addition to mandatory
superannuation contributions, the
Company makes additional employer
contributions of $300,000 per annum
(effective from 1 October 2003), paid
quarterly to J McFarlane’s chosen
superannuation fund; and

n J McFarlane was granted 175,000
Performance Shares on 31 December 2004.

A separate agreement, made on 
23 October 2001, provides for
reimbursements to J McFarlane for any
additional tax liabilities that may arise 
on his UK Pension Plan holdings as
a result of his continuing Australian
residency. Under this agreement, ANZ
reimburses J McFarlane for any additional
tax liability incurred on his UK Pension
Plan during his employment with ANZ,
arising as a consequence of Australian
Foreign Investment Fund rules. In the
event of decreased Australian tax
liabilities due to a decreased value in 
J McFarlane’s UK Pension Plan, the
reduced liability will be used to offset
potential subsequent reimbursements.

D3.  CEO’S RETIREMENT AND
TERMINATION BENEFITS

In accordance with J McFarlane’s
contract variation (refer section D2), 
J McFarlane’s nominated superannuation
fund receives $300,000 per annum
(effective from 1 October 2003, paid
quarterly) in addition to mandatory
superannuation contributions. 

J McFarlane can terminate his employment
agreement by providing 12 months’
notice. ANZ may terminate the employment
agreement by providing notice equal to
the unexpired term of the employment
agreement (which ends on 30 September
2007). If ANZ terminates the employment
agreement without notice and thus
breaches its obligation to provide the
required notice, ANZ has agreed with 
J McFarlane that the damages payable by
ANZ for breach of contract would be equal
to the Total Employment Cost (TEC) that
would otherwise be received over the
remainder of the contract (TEC comprises
salary or fees, non-monetary benefits and
mandatory superannuation contributions).
In circumstances of serious misconduct, 
J McFarlane is only entitled to payment
of TEC up to the date of termination. 

Payment of accumulated superannuation
benefits plus statutory entitlements of

long service leave and annual leave
(calculated on the basis of salary or fees)
applies in all events of separation. 

In the event of resignation not approved 
by the Board or dismissal for serious
misconduct, all unexercised options and
Performance Shares will be forfeited. 
In the event of termination on notice or
agreed separation, all vested options and
Performance Shares must be exercised
within 6 months of the termination or
agreed separation date, subject to
meeting the relevant performance hurdles.
In the event of serious misconduct, shares
held in the Directors’ Share Plan will be
forfeited. On resignation or termination on
notice, shares held under the Directors’
Share Plan will be released.

D4.  CEO’S PARTICIPATION IN 
EQUITY PROGRAMS

Hurdled Options
At the 2001 Annual General Meeting, four
tranches of options were approved for
granting by the Board: 500,000 in 2001;
1,000,000 in 2002; 1,000,000 in 2003
and 500,000 in 2004. For options granted
to the CEO, the exercise price is equal to
the weighted average share price on the
ASX during the 5 trading days immediately
before or after the Company’s Annual
General Meeting that immediately
precedes the allocation. The exercise of
these options is subject to performance
hurdles being satisfied. J McFarlane’s
specific performance hurdles, for options
granted during the year, are indicated in
Equity Instruments Transactions Section
K1 (Hurdled A) of Note 51, and for
Performance Shares in Equity Instruments
Transactions Section K3 of Note 51. For
options granted to the CEO, the life and
exercise period may differ, as disclosed in
Equity Instruments Transactions Section C of
Note 51.

Performance Shares
175,000 Performance Shares were issued
to J McFarlane on 31 December 2004 as
part of his contract extension, as approved
by shareholders at the 2004 Annual
General Meeting. No dividends will be
payable on the shares until they vest.
Vesting will be subject to time and
performance hurdles being satisfied as
detailed in Equity Instruments Transactions
Section K3 of Note 51. As these
Performance Shares were granted as part of
J McFarlane’s contract extension, as
opposed to a new contract, the conditions of
grant were aligned with those of the
original contract apart from the application
of a TSR performance hurdle.

Directors’ Share Plan
J McFarlane participates in the Directors’
Share Plan, which is explained in section B3. 

Please refer to Equity Instruments
Transactions in Note 51 for details of
grants and holdings.

On termination on notice by ANZ any options or LTI deferred shares that have vested, or will vest
during the notice period will be released, in accordance with the ANZ Share Option Plan Rules.
LTI shares that have not yet vested will generally be forfeited, although for some executives
(E Funke Kupper, BC Hartzer and PR Marriott) these shares will be released in full. Deferred shares

business performance). 

If ANZ terminates employment for reasons of bona fide redundancy, a severance payment will be
made that is equal to 12 months TEC.

All STI deferred shares are released. All options granted since 24 April 2002 are released on a pro-rata

Fixed Remuneration

The Total Employment Cost (TEC) package is NZD1,000,000 per annum and is inclusive of employer

A Zero priced option (ZPO) is a right to acquire a share at nil cost. ZPOs are granted as part of
Sir J Anderson’s contract under the ANZ Share Option Plan. They were designed to deliver equity to the
CEO of The National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ) and to meet the particular needs and circumstances at
the time of the acquisition of NBNZ. Grants are fixed at NZD500,000 worth of ZPOs annually, granted
in two tranches per annum and with a nil exercise price. The ZPOs have no time based vesting criteria,
and so can be exercised at any time during employment and within 6 months of the termination 
of employment.

Sir J Anderson may terminate his employment by giving 12 months’ written notice. On resignation any
ZPOs which have not been exercised as at the termination date will lapse.

A policy for payment of retirement gratuities was in place with NBNZ employees prior to the
acquisition by the Company of NBNZ. This policy has been continued for eligible staff who were ANZ
National Bank Limited employees as at 1 December 2003, including Sir J Anderson. Under this policy, 
a payment will be made to Sir J Anderson on his retirement that is equal to the number of full years’
service divided by 35 and multiplied by 85% of finishing salary (where finishing salary is fixed
remuneration less any superannuation contribution). This value is then grossed up for tax (i.e. divided
by 0.61) and from this value the total accrual value of long service leave taken is deducted.

ANZ National Bank Limited may terminate Sir J Anderson’s employment by providing notice or payment
in lieu of notice equal to the unexpired term of the employment agreement (which ends on 15 April
2006). On termination on notice, any options may be exercised in accordance with the ANZ Share
Option Plan Rules.

Exercise any ZPOs; pro-rata incentive.

ANZ National Bank Limited may terminate Sir J Anderson’s employment at any time without notice for
serious misconduct, and Sir J Anderson will only be entitled to payment up to the date of termination.
On termination for serious misconduct any ZPOs which have not been exercised as at the termination
date will lapse.

E3.  PARTICIPATION IN EQUITY PROGRAMS

A number of shares and options are granted to executives under the remuneration programs detailed in Section C. For Specified Executives,
details of all grants made during the year and legacy LTI programs are listed in Equity Instruments Transactions Section K, of Note 51.
Aggregate holdings of shares and options are also shown. The deferred shares component of the LTI is administered under the ANZ Employee
Share Acquisition Plan. For executives, the shares are deferred for three years.

Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Class Order 98/110 dated 10 July 1998 (as amended)

The directors and specified executives have been exempted, subject to certain conditions, by an ASIC class order, 98/110 dated 10 July
1998 (as amended), from making disclosures of loans regularly made, guaranteed or secured directly or indirectly by the Group to related
parties or in respect of a financial instrument transaction regularly made by the Group to related parties (other than shares and share
options), other than to the director or specified executive, or to an entity controlled or significantly influenced by the director or specified
executive, where the loan or financial instrument transaction is lawfully made and occurs in the course of ordinary banking business either
at arm’s length or with the approval of a general meeting of the relevant entity and its ultimate chief entity (if any).

The class order does not apply to a loan or financial instrument transaction of which any director or specified executive should reasonably be
aware that, if not disclosed, would have the potential to adversely affect the decisions made by users of the financial statements about the
allocation of scarce resources.

A condition of the class order is that for each financial year to which it applies, the Company must provide evidence to ASIC that the
Company has systems of internal controls and procedures which:

i)

ii)

in the case of any material financial instrument transaction, ensure that; and

in any other case, are designed to provide a reasonable degree of assurance that, any financial instrument transaction of a bank which
may be required to be disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and which is not entered into regularly, is drawn to the attention
of the directors.

Under the ASIC class order referred to above, disclosure of other transactions regularly made by the Group is limited to disclosure of such
transactions with a director of the Company, specified executives of the Group and to an entity controlled or significantly influenced by the
directors and specified executives, on the basis the transactions are:

-  on arm’s length terms and conditions no more favourable than those entered into by other employees or unrelated customers; 

-  information about them does not have the potential to affect adversely decisions about the allocations of scarce resources made by users

of the financial report, or the discharge of accountability by the director or specified executive; and

-  are deemed trivial or domestic in nature. 

Transactions between the directors, specified executives and related entities and the Group during the financial year were in the nature of
normal personal banking, debentures, investment and deposit transactions. These transactions occurred on an arm’s length basis and on
normal commercial terms and conditions no more favourable than those given to other employees or customers and were trivial and
domestic in nature.

1 Options granted to Specified Executives pertains to these options granted, vested or exercised during the year, options yet to vest and any unexercised options
2 Refer to Section K1 for more details pertaining to hurdled A, hurdled B and index linked options. Refer to Section E2 of Note 50, for further information on zero priced options granted to Sir J Anderson
3 Treatment of options on termination of employment is explained in Section E of Note 50
4 The exercise price is equal to the weighted average share price over the 5 trading days up to and including the grant date. Note, the original exercise price of options issued prior to the Renounceable
Rights issue in November 2003, have been reduced by 72 cents because of the dilution of share capital associated with the Renounceable Rights issue. Given index-linked options have a dynamic
exercise price, the original exercise price is shown in G (refer to Section K1 for more details)

5 No additional options were granted in the period up to and including 2 November 2005, and nil options forfeited or expired
6 The maximum amortisation balance (i.e. 1 October 2005 to vesting date) for each Specified Executive for subsequent financial years is as follows: Dr RJ Edgar $266,582; E Funke Kupper $218,793; 

BC Hartzer $272,560; GK Hodges $232,767; PR Marriott $309,425; S Targett $493,628. The value will be nil however, if the minimum performance hurdles are not achieved

1 The Binomial Option Pricing Model (“the model”) is used to assess the value of ANZ’s options (other than zero priced options, for which the value is the volume weighted average price of the

Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the day the options were granted). The model utilises probability theory to determine the value of an ANZ option based on likely share prices at the expiry
date of the option. In accordance with AASB 1046 and 1046A, the model reflects both the performance hurdles that currently apply to the Hurdled Options and the non-transferability of the options.
Under the terms of the Options, the hurdle conditions (outlined in section K) must be met before the options may be exercised during the exercise period

2 Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fluctuate over the life of the options. The measure of volatility used in the model is the annualised

standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the historical share price over a defined period of time preceding the date of grant. This historical average annualised volatility is
then used to estimate a reasonable expected volatility over the expected life of the options

3 In estimating the fair value of the ANZ option grant, expected dividends were included in the application of the model. The expected dividend yield applied to the model was based on an analysis of

ANZ’s historical dividend payments and yields

4 The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on zero-coupon bonds issued by the Australian government, with a remaining term equal to the expected life of ANZ’s options

K. LEGACY LONG TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)
PROGRAMS

K1 Options (Granted prior to 
October 2005) 
Each option has the following features:

n An exercise price (or for index-linked

options, the original exercise price) that
is set equal to the weighted average
sale price of all fully paid ordinary
shares in the Company sold on the
Australian Stock Exchange during the 1
week prior to and including the date of
grant;

n A maximum life of 7 years and an

exercise period that commences 3 years
after the date of grant, subject to
performance hurdles being cleared.
Options are re-tested monthly (if
required) after the commencement of
the exercise period;

n Upon exercise, each option entitles the
option-holder to one ordinary share;

n In case of resignation or termination on
notice or dismissal for misconduct:
options are forfeited;

n In case of redundancy: options are 

pro-rated and a grace period is provided

96

in which to exercise the remaining
options (with hurdles waived, if
applicable);

n In case of retirement, death or total and
permanent disablement: A grace period
is provided in which to exercise all
options (with hurdles waived, if
applicable); and

n Performance hurdles, which are

explained below for each type of option.

Hurdled Options (Hurdled B) 
(Granted November 2004)
In November 2004 hurdled options were
granted with a relative Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) performance hurdle attached.

The proportion of options that become
exercisable will depend upon the TSR
achieved by ANZ relative to the companies
in the comparator group shown below.
Performance equal to the median TSR of
the comparator group will result in half the
options becoming exercisable.
Performance above median will result in
further options becoming exercisable,
increasing on a straight-line basis until all
of the options become exercisable 
where ANZ’s TSR is at or above the 75th
percentile in the comparator group.

n During the deferral period, the

employee is entitled to any dividends
paid on the shares; 

n Shares issued under this plan may be

held in trust for up to 10 years; 

n The value used to determine the

number of LTI deferred shares to be
allocated has been based on the
volume weighted average price of the
shares traded on the ASX in the week
leading up to and including the date of
issue; 

n In case of resignation or termination 

on notice or dismissal for misconduct: 
LTI shares are forfeited; 

n In case of redundancy: the number of

LTI shares that are released is pro-rated
according to the time held as a
proportion of the vesting period; and 

n In case of retirement, death or total

& permanent disablement: LTI shares
are released to executives. 

Deferred Shares no longer form part
of ANZ’s Senior Executive LTI program,
however there may be circumstances
(such as retention) where this type of
equity (including Deferred Share Rights)
will be issued.

K3 Performance Shares
(Granted December 2004 to CEO)
In December 2004 Performance Shares
were granted to the CEO of ANZ with a
relative TSR performance hurdle attached.
The proportion of shares that vest will
depend upon the TSR achieved by ANZ
relative to the companies in the
comparator group shown below.
Performance equal to the median TSR of
the comparator group will result in half the
Performance Shares becoming
exercisable. Performance above median
will result in further Performance Shares
becoming exercisable, increasing on a
straight-line basis until all of the
Performance Shares become exercisable
where ANZ’s TSR is at or above the 75th
percentile in the comparator group. No
dividends will be payable on the shares
until they vest, with the earliest possible
vesting date being 31 December 2006.

from November 2003 until May 2004.
Granted to CEO from December 2001 
until December 2004.)
Until May 2004, hurdled options were
granted to executives with the following
performance hurdles attached. The
following performance hurdles also
pertain to the options granted to the CEO
during the year:

1. Half the options may only be exercised
once ANZ’s TSR exceeds the percentage
change in the S&P/ASX 200 Banks
(Industry Group) Accumulation Index,
measured over the same period (since
issue) and calculated as at the last trading
day of any month (once the exercise
period has commenced); and 
2. The other half of hurdled options may
only be exercised once the ANZ TSR
exceeds the percentage change in the
S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index,
measured over the same period (since
issue) and calculated as at the last trading
day of any month (once the exercise
period has commenced). 

Index-linked options (Granted from
October 2002 to May 2003)
Index-linked options have a dynamic
exercise price that acts as a built-in
performance hurdle, i.e. the exercise price
is adjusted in line with the movement in
the S&P/ASX 200 Banks (Industry Group)
Accumulation Index (excluding ANZ). As
an additional constraint, the adjusted
exercise price can only be set at or above
the original exercise price. They are
exercisable between the 3rd and 7th year
after grant date, subject to the adjusted
exercise price being above the prevailing
share price.

K2 Deferred Shares
(Granted from February 2000)

Deferred Shares granted under the Long
Term Incentive (LTI) arrangements were
designed to reward executives for superior
growth whilst also encouraging executive
retention and an increase in the
Company’s share price.

n Shares are subject to a time-based

vesting hurdle of 3 years, during which
time they are held in trust;

55:  IMPACT OF ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENTS TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (AIFRS)
Management of the Group’s transition to AIFRS

For reporting periods commencing 1 October 2005, the Group is required to prepare financial statements using Australian Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS), issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

On 1 October 2005, the Group commenced application of AIFRS, covering all financial systems and records. The Group will report for the first
time in compliance with AIFRS when the results for the half year ending 31 March 2006 are released.

The Group is required to prepare an opening balance sheet in accordance with AIFRS as at 1 October 2004. Most accounting policy
adjustments to retrospectively apply AIFRS will be made against retained earnings in this opening balance sheet. However, transitional
adjustments relating to those standards for which comparatives are not required will only be made on 1 October 2005. The standards are
AASB 132: ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation’, AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, and
AASB 4: ‘Insurance Contracts’.

Impact of transition to AIFRS

The key impacts identified below are based on accounting policy decisions current at the date of this financial report. Further developments
in AIFRS attributable to:

n new or revised accounting standards or interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board;

n additional guidance on the application of AIFRS to the financial industry; or

n changes to the Group’s operations

if any, may result in changes to accounting policy decisions made to date and, consequently, the likely impacts outlined below. Any such
changes will be reflected within the Group’s first AIFRS compliant statement for the half year ending 31 March 2006, or a later financial report
as appropriate.

The key impacts identified below are separated between those applicable for the comparative financial year (ie from 1 October 2004), and
those applicable from 1 October 2005.

All amounts are stated on an after tax basis, unless otherwise stated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

55:  IMPACT OF ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENTS TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (AIFRS) (CONTINUED)
Issues with effective impact from 1 October 2004

The adoption of AIFRS does not impact the carrying amount of goodwill on transition as the
Group has elected not to restate past business combinations. Under AIFRS, the past practice of
systematically amortising goodwill over the expected period of benefit ceases and is replaced by
impairment testing annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill
might be impaired. As a result, the Group amortisation expense for the AIFRS comparative
financial year ended 30 September 2005 will decrease by $224 million (including notional INGA
goodwill of $43 million).

On adoption of AASB 119: ‘Employee Benefits’, surpluses (assets) and/or deficits (liabilities)
that arise within defined benefit superannuation schemes will be recognised in the statement of
financial position.

Under AGAAP, the Group accounts for the defined benefit superannuation schemes on a cash
basis and does not currently recognise an asset or liability for the net position of the defined
benefit superannuation schemes.

The Group has elected to apply the option available under AASB 119 to recognise actuarial gains
and losses in the statement of financial position (i.e. the ‘direct to retained earnings’ approach).
The non-cash expense reflecting the notional cost of the benefits accruing to members of the
defined benefit schemes in respect of service provided over the reporting period is charged to
the statement of financial performance. All transitional adjustments and ongoing movements
reported for each scheme will be actuarially determined in accordance with AASB 119.

At 1 October 2004, the Group will recognise a net liability position of $142 million (Company:
$143 million) after recognising a net deferred tax asset of $56 million (Company: $57 million)
which will be applied against retained earnings.

For the AIFRS comparative year ended 30 September 2005, a $35 million adjustment will be
made to retained earnings to recognise a decrease in the Group’s pension liability, representing
largely a net actuarial gain (Company: $32 million). The impact on the statement of financial
performance of moving from a contributions basis to a service cost basis is not expected to be
material for either the Group and Company.

The Group currently recognises immediately an expense equal to the full fair value of all deferred
shares issued as part of the short term and long term incentive arrangements.  The deferred
shares vest over one to three years and may be forfeited under certain conditions.  The Group does
not currently recognise an expense for options issued to staff or for shares issued under the
$1,000 employee share plan.

On adoption of AASB 2: ‘Share-based Payment’, the Group will recognise an expense for all share
based remuneration, including deferred shares and options, and will recognise this expense over
the relevant vesting period.

The Group has elected to retrospectively apply AASB 2 to share based payments granted prior to 
7 November 2002.

On 1 October 2004, this change in accounting policy will result in:
n the establishment of a share options reserve of $43 million (Company: $43 million) to reflect

the fair value of options granted to employees;

n a reduction in paid up capital of $49 million (Company: $49 million), in order to reflect the fair

value of vested shares;

n recognition of a deferred tax liability of $18 million (Company: $16 million); and

n a net decrease to retained earnings of $12 million (Company: $13 million).

For the AIFRS comparative year ended 30 September 2005, the impact of the change is
expected to be:

n an increase in paid up capital of $41 million (Company: $41 million); and

viii)  Taxation

Change in methodology

Immaterial impacts

Under AASB 118: ‘Revenue’, certain service type fees (such as administration fees) will
be deferred and amortised over the period of service. On 1 October 2004, $3 million 
(Company: $2 million) of fees that have previously been recognised in the statement of
financial performance will be recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position,
with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings. For the AIFRS comparative year ended
30 September 2005, the impact of this change on the statement of financial performance for
the Group and the Company are expected to be immaterial.

AIFRS has introduced new requirements for the recognition of financial assets, including
those transferred to a special purpose entity for securitisation. The accounting treatment of
existing securitisations has been reassessed. Consequently, some vehicles, which were
previously not consolidated, are being consolidated by the Group. This will result in an
increase in assets and liabilities recorded within the statement of financial position of
$4,900 million as at 1 October 2004 for the Group.

Vehicles set up for assisting customers securitise their own assets will continue to not be
consolidated under AIFRS.

For the comparative AIFRS year ended 30 September 2005, the Group will recognise a
decrease of $400 million in both assets and liabilities, reflecting the net impact of
repayment and securitisation of new assets during the year.

Within the Group statement of financial performance, income and expenses will be increased
to recognise the income and expense items recorded within these vehicles. The overall
impact on net profit is expected to be immaterial.

The Group has elected to apply the option under AASB 121: ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates’, to reset amounts recorded within the Foreign currency translation reserve to
zero. On 1 October 2004, adopting this election will result in an increase in retained earnings
of $218 million and $233 million for the Group and the Company respectively.

The Group has elected to apply the option under AASB 1: ‘First time Adoption of Australian
Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards’, to recognise the value of Land
and Buildings at deemed cost. As a result, the Group and the Company Asset revaluation
reserve of $31 million relating to Land and Buildings will be reset to zero as at 1 October
2004 and adjusted against retained earnings.

Under AASB 112: ‘Income taxes’, a balance sheet method of tax effect accounting will be
adopted, replacing the ‘statement of financial performance’ approach currently used by the
Group.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxes, with income tax expense
recognised in the statement of financial performance, or recognised in equity to the extent
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method by determining temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the tax base of those assets and liabilities as used for taxation purposes.

At 1 October 2004, an additional net deferred tax asset of $14 million (Company: 
$11 million) will be recognised with a corresponding increase to retained earnings.

Capitalised software assets will be reclassified from Premises and Equipment to a separately
identifiable intangible asset on transition to AIFRS. For the Group, this will result in a
reclassification of $430 million (Company: $375 million) as at 1 October 2004. There will
be no impact on the statement of financial performance.

At 1 October 2004, the Group has elected under AASB 1: ‘First time Adoption of Australian
Equivalents for International Financial Reporting Standards’, to not restate the classification
and accounting treatment of business combinations that occurred prior to 1 October 2004.

Issues with effective impact from 1 October 2005 

xi) Credit loss provisioning

Initial increase on retained earnings

Volatility in future earnings

102

AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ adopts an incurred loss
approach for credit loss provisioning and provides guidance on the measurement of incurred
losses. Provisions are raised for losses that have already been incurred for exposures that
are known to be impaired. The estimated losses on these impaired exposures are then
discounted to their present value. As this discount unwinds during the period between
recognition of impairment and recovery of the written down amount, it is recognised in the
statement of financial performance as interest income.

The current General Provision in the statement of financial position will be replaced on
adoption of AIFRS by a Collective Provision.

Exposures not individually known to be impaired are placed into pools of similar assets with
similar risk characteristics to be collectively assessed for losses that have been incurred, but
not identified yet. The required provision is estimated on the basis of historical loss
experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the collective pool.
The historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data.

The Collective Provision under AIFRS shares the same underlying measurement objectives as
the current General Provision. However, as a result of the application of a new estimation
methodology, certain judgemental risk measures have changed.

The Group believes that the resulting Collective Provision, while lower than the current
General Provision, comfortably falls within the probable range of losses that have been
incurred but not identified in our portfolio.

On adoption of AIFRS, the current Economic Loss Provisioning (ELP) charge to profit will be
replaced by a charge for individual provisions on impaired exposures together with a charge
for movements in the Collective Provision.

As a result of these changes:
n at 1 October 2005, there will be a reduction of $6 million to retained earnings for the

Group (Company: $3 million) relating to individual provisions on impaired exposures as a
result of discounting estimated future cash flows;

n at 1 October 2005, the Collective Provision for the Group will be $307 million less than the
AGAAP General Provision (Company: $151 million). After tax, this will result in an increase
to retained earnings of $197 million at 1 October 2005 (Company: $102 million). Due to
current uncertainty around AIFRS accounting interpretations and the development of
Australian industry practice in this area, this Collective Provision on impaired exposures
may be subject to further refinement;

n individual provisions and movements in the Collective Provision will be charged direct to

the statement of financial performance, driving increased earnings volatility; and

n movements in the Collective Provision will be driven by changes in portfolio size, portfolio

mix, credit risk and economic cycles.

including hedging

Initial reduction in retained earnings

Volatility in future earnings

New assets and liabilities recognised

xiv)  Financial instruments classification 
and measurement

Certain assets reclassified and measured 
at fair value

Initial decrease in retained earnings

Under AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, fee income (such as loan
approval fees) integral to the yield of an originated financial instrument (such as loans and
advances measured at amortised cost), net of any direct incremental costs, will be capitalised and
deferred over the expected life of the financial instrument.

On 1 October 2005, certain fees that have previously been recognised in the statement of financial
performance, will be deferred and recognised against net loans and advances in the statement
of financial position with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings. The impact will be 
$266 million and $195 million for the Group and the Company respectively. The annual impact
on net profit from this change is not expected to be material. However, there will be an increase 
in interest income (offset by a reduction in fee income) and a reclassification to interest earning
assets of customer’s liabilities for acceptances of $13,449 million.

Under AIFRS, all derivative financial instruments, including those used as hedging
instruments, will be measured at fair value and recognised in the statement of financial
position. This will require an adjustment to reflect the market value of counterparty risk in
the fair value of derivatives. This will result in a decrease in retained earnings of $24 million
and $22 million at 1 October 2005 for the Group and Company respectively. (Under AGAAP,
counterparty risk is notionally allowed for as part of the General Provision.)

At 1 October 2005, recognition of the fair value of derivatives relating to securitisation
vehicles and structured finance transactions will reduce retained earnings by $64 million for
the Group (Company: $50 million). The Group continues to evaluate hedging relationships
and effectiveness for certain structured finance transactions, which may introduce volatility
within the statement of financial performance. Accordingly, the likely AIFRS impact cannot be
reliably estimated at present.

AIFRS permits hedge accounting (if certain criteria are met) for fair value hedges, cash flow
hedges and hedges of investments in foreign operations. Fair value and cash flow hedge
accounting can only be considered where prospective and retrospective effectiveness tests
are met and the hedge relationship has been adequately documented. Ineffectiveness
precludes the use of hedge accounting. The Group uses cash flow and fair value hedging in
respect of its interest rate risk exposures.

As at 1 October 2005, the Group has designated certain fair value and cash flow hedges and
financial liabilities as fair value through profit and loss, resulting in an increase in net assets
of $97 million (Company: decrease in net assets of $53 million), represented by a decrease
in retained earnings of $65 million (Company: $64 million), and an increase in reserves of
$162 million (Company: $11 million). Any volatility through the statement of financial
performance due to hedge ineffectiveness is not expected to be material.

Under AIFRS, certain financial assets of the Group currently carried at amortised cost will be
either:

n reclassified as available for sale, resulting in measurement at fair value with movements

being taken to an ‘Available for Sale’ equity reserve; or

n reclassified as financial assets held at fair value through the profit and loss, with
movements in fair value being taken to the statement of financial performance.

On 1 October 2005, the reclassification of financial assets as either available for sale
financial assets or financial assets designated at fair value, will not result in a material
adjustment for the Group and the Company.

Under AIFRS, most financial liabilities will continue to be recognised at amortised cost and,
as a result, there will be no material adjustment to the statements of financial position and
performance.

Financial instruments will be measured under AIFRS at ‘bid’ or ‘offer’ prices rather than the
current use of ‘mid’ prices. On 1 October 2005, this change in measurement will result in a
decrease to retained earnings of $5 million for the Group and $4 million for the Company.

xv)  Classification of hybrid financial
instruments

Reclassification of ANZ StEPS from 
equity to debt

xvi)  Accounting for INGA

Initial reduction in retained earnings

Under AASB 132: ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation’, ANZ StEPS, a hybrid
Tier 1 instrument currently treated as equity, will be reclassified as debt. Prepaid issue costs,
currently offset against the preference share capital balance, will be capitalised and
amortised to interest over a 5 year period from the date of issue.

At 1 October 2005, an amount of $987 million will be transferred from Preference Share
Capital to Loan Capital, and capitalised prepaid issue costs of $5 million will have been
amortised. Ongoing distributions to the holders of ANZ StEPS will be treated as an interest
expense in the statement of financial performance rather than as dividends.

Under AASB 131: ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’, and in line with current policy, the Group is
required to equity account for its interest in INGA. The adoption of AIFRS by INGA will result
in the following significant measurement and recognition differences to AGAAP:

n increased policy liabilities resulting from a change in the discount rates applied in the

actuarial calculation of policy liabilities and the separate presentation and change in basis
of deferred acquisition costs (largely commissions) previously included within net policy
liabilities;

n write-off of the excess of the market value over net assets (EMVONA) for INGA’s life

insurance controlled entities, which under AIFRS will no longer be recognised, together
with a reassessment of other non-allowable intangibles; and

n initial entry fee income previously taken upfront will be deferred and amortised to income

over time.

The Group’s 49% share of INGA’s net AIFRS adjustment is $181 million, thus reducing the
Group’s retained earnings and the carrying value of its interest in INGA as at 1 October 2005.

Following the adoption of AIFRS, the Group’s investment in INGA will also be impacted by
INGA’s adoption of classifying and measuring its shareholder investments as “available for
sale” assets. This change in measurement is likely to result in a reduction in investment
return volatility experienced by INGA, as only realised gains and losses will be reported in 
its net profit.

xvii)  Accounting for ING New Zealand

Immaterial impacts

On 30 September 2005, ANZ announced its funds management and life insurance joint
venture with ING had been extended through the creation of a New Zealand joint venture.
The adoption of AIFRS by ING New Zealand is not expected to have a material impact on the
Group’s financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group prepares its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and
other authoritative accounting
pronouncements. However,
notwithstanding the existence of relevant
accounting standards, there are a number
of critical accounting treatments, which
include complex or subjective decisions or
assessments. All material changes to
accounting policy are approved by the
Audit Committee of the Board.

HISTORICAL CHANGES

There have been no material changes to
the Group’s critical accounting policies
or their related methodologies over the
last 3 years.

A brief discussion of critical accounting
policies, and their impact on the
Group, follows:

a)  Economic Loss Provisioning

Description and Significance
The Group recognises an expense for
credit losses ‘provision for doubtful debts’
based on the average one year loss
expected to be incurred if the same loan
portfolio was held over an economic cycle.
The provision for doubtful debts is booked
to the General Provision which is
maintained to cover the losses inherent
in the Group’s existing loan portfolio. 
The method used by the Group for
determining the expense charge is
referred to as ‘Economic Loss
Provisioning’ (ELP). The Group uses
ELP models to calculate the expected loss
by considering:

n the size, composition and risk profile of

the current loan portfolio; and

n the history of credit losses for each loan

portfolio.

Ongoing reviews
The Group regularly reviews the
assumptions used in the ELP models.
These reviews are conducted in
recognition of the subjective nature of the
ELP methodology. Methodologies are
updated as improved analysis becomes
available. In addition, the robustness of
outcomes is reviewed considering the
Group’s actual loss experience, and
losses sustained by other banks operating
in similar markets.

To the extent that credit losses are not
consistent with previous loss patterns
used to develop the assumptions within
the ELP methodology, the existing General

110

Provision may be determined to be either
in excess of or insufficient to cover credit
losses not yet specifically identified.

As a result of the reassessments, ELP
charge levels may be periodically
increased or decreased with a direct
impact on profitability.

As part of its review of the ELP model
outputs, the Group also regularly
evaluates the overall level of the General
Provision. The Group is required, by APRA
prudential standards, to have policies
which cover the level of General
Provisions that are needed to absorb
estimated losses inherent in the credit
portfolio. In some limited circumstances,
the assessment of the inherent losses in
the portfolio may require an additional
charge to profits to ensure the adequacy
of the General Provision. The Group
considers it appropriate to maintain
its General Provision in excess of the
APRA guidelines.

Quantification of Sensitivity
The average charge to profit for ELP was
0.25% of average net lending assets or
$580 million (Sep 2004: 0.31% or
$632 million; Sep 2003: 0.39% or
$614 million). 

As at September 2005, the balance of the
General Provision of $2,167 million
(Sep 2004: $1,992 million) represents
0.99% (Sep 2004: 1.01%) of risk
weighted assets).

b)  Specific Provisioning

Description and Significance
The Group maintains a specific provision
for doubtful debts arising from its
exposure to organisations and credit
counterparties.

When a specific debt loss is identified as
being probable, its value is transferred
from the general provision to the specific
provision. Specific provisioning is applied
when the full recovery of one of the
Group’s exposures is identified as being
doubtful resulting in the creation of a
specific provision equal to the full amount
of the expected loss plus any
enforcement/recovery expenses.

Recoveries resulting from proceeds
received from accounts which were written
off in prior years are transferred back to
the General Provision.

Quantification of Sensitivity
The recognition of losses has an impact
on the size of the General Provision rather
than directly impacting profit. However, 
to the extent that the General Provision 

is drawn down beyond a prudent amount
it will be restored through a transfer from
the current year’s earnings. The amount
of net transfer from the General Provision
to the Specific Provision, net of recoveries,
during the year was $357 million
(Sept 2004: $443 million; Sep 2003:
$527 million).

c)  Deferred acquisition costs, software
assets and deferred income

Description and Significance
The Group recognises assets and
liabilities that represent:

n Deferred acquisition costs – direct

costs from the acquisition of
interest earning assets;

n Software assets – direct costs

incurred in developing software 
systems; and

n Deferred income – liabilities

representing income received in 
advance of services performed.

Deferred acquisition costs – Initially,
expenses related to the acquisition of
interest earning assets are recognised as
part of the cost of acquiring the asset and
written-off as an adjustment to its yield
over its expected life. For assets subject to
prepayment, expected life is determined
on the basis of the historical behaviour of
the asset portfolio, taking into account
prepayments. Commissions paid to third
party mortgage brokers are an example of
expenditure that is deferred and
amortised over the expected average life
of a mortgage of 4 years.

Software assets – Costs incurred in
acquiring and building software and
computer systems are capitalised as fixed
assets and expensed as depreciation over
periods of between 3 and 5 years except
for the branch front end applications
where 7 years is used. The carrying value
of these assets is subject to a ‘recoverable
amount test’ to determine their value to
the Group. If it is determined that the
value of the asset is less than its ‘book’
value, the asset is written down to the
recoverable amount. Costs incurred in
planning or evaluating software
proposals, or in maintaining systems after
implementation, are not capitalised.

Deferred income – Income received in
advance of the Group’s performance of
services or in advance of having been
earned, is initially recorded as a liability.
Once the recognition criteria are met, it
is then recognised as income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Quantification of Sensitivity
Deferred acquisition costs – At 30 September, the Group’s assets included $524 million (Sep 2004: $465 million) in relation to costs
incurred in acquiring interest earning assets. During the year, amortisation of $258 million (Sep 2004: $218 million) was recognised as
an adjustment to the yield earned on interest earning assets.

Software assets – At 30 September, the Group’s fixed assets included $381 million (Sep 2004: $430 million) in relation to costs incurred 
in acquiring and developing software. During the year, depreciation expense of $121 million (Sep 2004: $129 million) was recognised.
Following prior periods of above average project activity which replaced significant parts of the Group’s core infrastructure, the software
depreciation expense is expected to stabilise going forward. Consistent with US accounting rules on software capitalisation, only costs
incurred during configuration, coding and installation stages are capitalised. Administrative, preliminary project and post implementation
costs including determining performance requirements, vendor selection and training costs are expensed as incurred.

Deferred income – At 30 September, the Group’s liabilities included $79 million (Sep 2004: $156 million) in relation to income received 
in advance. This income is largely comprised of two components: (1) fees received for services not yet completed; and (2) profit made on
interest rate swaps from a shortening of the investment term of capital. Under Australian Accounting Standards, this profit is deferred and
recognised when the hedged transaction occurs, or immediately if the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur.

The balances of deferred assets and liabilities at 30 September were:

d)  Derivatives and Hedging

Description and Significance
The Group buys and sells derivatives as
part of its trading operations and to hedge
its interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk
and equity risks (in ING Australia). The
derivative instruments used to hedge the
Group’s exposures include:

n swaps;

n foreign exchange contacts

n forward rate agreements;

n futures;

n options; and

n combinations of the above instruments.

The Group classifies derivatives into two
types according to the purpose they are
entered into: trading or hedging. 

Income and loss relating to trading
derivatives is reported in the statement of
financial performance as trading income.
The fair value of trading derivatives is
recorded on a gross basis as other assets
or other liabilities as appropriate unless
there is a legal right of set off. The fair
value of a derivative financial instrument
is the net present value of future expected
cash flows arising from that instrument.

In order to be classified as a hedging
derivative the hedging relationship must

be expected to be effective. Hedging
derivatives are accounted for in the same
manner as the underlying asset or liability
they are hedging. For example, if the
hedged instrument is accounted for using
the accrual method, the hedging
instrument will also be accounted for
using the accrual method.

Accounting treatment – Derivative
instruments entered into for the purpose
of hedging are accounted for on the same
basis as the underlying exposures or risks.

anz financial report 2005 111

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

d)  Derivatives and Hedging

Description and Significance (continued)
Derivative instruments entered into to
hedge exposures that are not recorded at
fair value, do not have their fair values
recorded in the Group’s Statement of
Financial Position.

Exposures hedged by derivatives not
recorded at their fair value include risks
related to:

n revenues from and capital invested into

foreign operations;

n structured lending transactions;

n lending assets; and

n funding liabilities.

Hedge accounting is only applied when
the hedging relationship is identified at
the time the Group enters into the
hedging derivative transaction. If a hedge
ceases to be effective, the hedging
derivative transaction will be recognised
at fair value. Gains and losses on
derivative instruments not carried at their
fair value amounts are recognised at the
same time as the gain or loss on the
hedged exposure is booked.

Movements in the value of foreign
exchange contracts that are hedging
overseas operations are not recognised as
income or expenses. Instead these
movements are recognised in the Foreign
Currency Translation Reserve together with
the net difference arising from the
translation of the overseas operation. 

Fair value determination – Derivatives
entered into as part of the Group’s trading
operations are carried at their fair values
with any change in fair value being
immediately recognised as part of trading
income. Where liquid markets exist, fair
value is based on quoted market prices.
For certain complex or illiquid derivative
instruments, it may be necessary to use
projections, estimates and models to
determine fair value. 

e)  Special purpose and off balance sheet vehicles
The Group may invest in or establish special purpose entities (SPEs), to enable it to undertake specific types of transactions.

Where the Group has established SPEs which are controlled by the Group to facilitate transactions undertaken for Group purposes, these are
consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.

The table below summarises the main types of SPEs that are not consolidated into the Group, the reason for their establishment, and the key
risks associated with them.

ANZ may manage securitisation vehicles, 
service assets in a vehicle or provide 
liquidity or other support and retains the 
risks associated with the provision of these 
services. Credit and market risks associated 
with the underlying assets are not retained
or assumed by ANZ except to the limited
extent that ANZ provides arm’s length services
and facilities.

f)  Valuation of investment in
ING Australia Limited (INGA)

Description and significance
The Group adopts the equity method of
accounting for its 49% interest in INGA. 
As at 30 September 2005, the Group's
carrying value was $1,479 million 
(September 2004: $1,697 million).

The carrying value is subject to a
recoverable amount test to ensure that
this does not exceed its recoverable
amount at the reporting date.

112

Any excess of carrying value above
recoverable amount is written off to the
statement of financial performance.

Quantification of sensitivity
During the year the Group engaged Ernst
& Young ABC Limited (EY ABC) to provide
an independent valuation of INGA for 31
March 2005 assessment purposes. The
valuation was a stand alone market based
assessment of economic value, and
excluded the Group's specific synergies
and hedging arrangements. The
independent valuation was based on a

discounted cashflow approach, with
allowance for the cost of capital. EY ABC
presented an independent valuation
range of $3,458 million to $3,727 million,
reflecting a range of sales and cost base
assumptions. Based on this review, ANZ
believed that no change was required to
the carrying value of the investment as at
31 March 2005.

A review for 30 September 2005 reporting
purposes revealed there were no
indicators of impairment and a further
independent review was not required.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

g)  Valuation of goodwill in ANZ National
Bank Ltd
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of
National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ) is
systematically amortised over the period
of time during which the benefits of the
acquisition are expected to arise, such
period of benefit not exceeding 20 years.

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed
at each balance date and is written down,
to the extent that it is no longer supported
by probable future benefits.

The Group obtained an independent
valuation of ANZ National Bank Limited 
as at 31 March 2005. This valuation,
based on a capitalisation of earnings
methodology, calculated the value of ANZ
National Bank Limited at a New Zealand
geographic and New Zealand business
unit reporting level. Based on the results
of this valuation, no write-down in the
carrying value of goodwill was required.

At 30 September 2005, a management
review was conducted to determine
whether there were any indicators of
impairment in the carrying value of NBNZ
goodwill. The assessment did not indicate
the existence of impairment indicators
and accordingly no write-down was
required.

RISK MANAGEMENT
ANZ recognises the importance of
effective risk management to its business
success. Management is committed to
achieving strong control and a distinctive
risk management capability that enables
ANZ business units to meet their
performance objectives.

ANZ approaches risk through managing
the various elements of the system as
a whole rather than viewing them as
independent and unrelated parts. The
Risk function is independent of the
business with clear delegations from 
the Board and operates within a
comprehensive framework comprising:

n The Board, providing leadership, setting
risk appetite/strategy and monitoring
progress.

n A strong framework for development
and maintenance of Group-wide risk
management policies, procedures and
systems, overseen by an independent
team of risk professionals.

n The use of sophisticated risk tools,

applications and processes to execute
the global risk management strategy
across the Group.

n Business Unit level accountability,

as the “first line of defence”, and for the
management of risks in alignment with
the Group's strategy.

n Independent oversight to ensure

Business Unit compliance with policies,
regulations and laws, and to provide
regular risk evaluation and reporting.

The various risks inherent in the
operations of the Group may be broadly
grouped together under the following
major categories:

Credit Risk
The Group has an overall lending objective
of sound growth for appropriate returns.
The credit risk management framework
exists to provide a structured and
disciplined process to support this
objective.

This framework is top down, being defined
firstly by the Group's Vision and Values
and secondly, by Credit Principles and
Policies. The effectiveness of the credit
risk management framework is validated
through compliance and monitoring
processes. These, together with portfolio
selection, define and guide the credit
process, organisation and staff.

Risk Management's responsibilities for
credit risk policy and management are
executed through dedicated departments,
which support the Group's business units.
All major Business Unit credit decisions
require approval by both business writers
and independent risk personnel.

Market Risk
ANZ has a detailed market risk
management and control framework, 
to support trading activities, which
incorporates an independent risk
measurement approach to quantify the
magnitude of market risk within the
trading books. This approach, along with
related analysis, identifies the range of
possible outcomes that can be expected
over a given period of time, and
establishes the relative likelihood of
those outcomes. 

Market risk also includes the risk that the
Group will incur increased interest
expense arising from funding
requirements during periods of poor
market liquidity (balance sheet or non-
traded market risk). ANZ has a separate
risk management and control framework
for such risks, which is built around a
Board-approved policy and limit
framework.

Within overall strategies and policies,
control of market risk exposures at Group
level is the responsibility of Market Risk,

who work closely with the Markets,
and Treasury business units.

Operational Risk
Risk Management is responsible for
establishing the Group's operational risk
framework and associated Group-level
policies. Business Units are responsible
for the identification, analysis,
assessment and treatment of operational
risks on a day-to-day basis.

A Risk Drivers and Controls (or
“Scorecards”) Approach to operational
risk measurement is used to measure the
operational risk profile of individual
business units, and to allocate
operational risk economic capital. This
approach gives business managers a
strong and clear incentive to reduce
operational risk.

Compliance
ANZ conducts its business in accordance
with all relevant compliance requirements
in each point of representation. 

In order to assist the Group identify,
manage, monitor and measure its
compliance obligations, the Group has
a comprehensive regulatory compliance
framework in place, which is consistent
with the Australian Standard on
Compliance Programs (AS 3806) and
which addresses both external
(regulatory) and internal compliance.

In addition, Group Compliance, a discrete
function within Risk Management, is
responsible for working in conjunction
with Business Unit Compliance teams and
other risk management areas to provide a
compliance infrastructure and framework
to facilitate planning, reporting and
management of new and changing
business obligations and processes.

Assocations with Related Entities
ANZ has a policy and compliance plan to
provide a framework for managing the
risks resulting from associations between
the Company, as an Authorised Deposit-
taking Institution (ADI), and its “related
entities”. Under this policy, all dealings
between the Company and its related
entities are conducted on an arm’s-length
basis, unless approved by the ANZ Board.
