Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies

i) Basis of preparation
These consolidated fi nancial statements 
comprise a general purpose fi nancial report 
and:
  comply with the accounts provisions 
of the Banking Act 1959 
  have been prepared in accordance 
with the Australian equivalents to 
the International Financial Reporting 
Standards (AIFRS), other authoritive 
pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board, Urgent 
Issues Group Interpretations and the 
Corporations Act 2001.
  are presented in Australian dollars
  have been prepared in accordance with 
the historical cost convention except 
that the following assets and liabilities 
are stated at their fair value: derivative 
fi nancial instruments, including the 
fair value of any applicable underlying 
exposure; assets treated as available-
for-sale; fi nancial instruments held 
for trading; term funding instruments 
including specifi c bonds and notes; and 
defi ned benefi t plan assets and liabilities.

The preparation of the fi nancial report 
requires the use of management judgement, 
estimates and assumptions that affect 
reported amounts and the application of 
policies. The estimates and associated 
assumptions are based on historical 
experience and various other factors that 
are believed to be reasonable. Actual results 
may differ from these estimates. Discussion 
of these critical accounting treatments, 
which include complex or subjective 
decisions or assessments, are covered 
within Note 2. Such estimates may require 
review in future periods.

The Parent entity is an entity of the kind 
referred to in Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission class order 
98/100, dated 10 July 1998 (as amended). 
Consequently, amounts in the fi nancial 
report have been rounded to the nearest 
million dollars except where otherwise 
indicated.

The fi nancial report was authorised for issue 
by the directors on 1 November 2006.

International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) form the basis of Australian 
Accounting Standards issued by the 
AASB, being AIFRS. The Group revised its 
accounting policies effective 1 October 
2004 to enable the preparation of fi nancial 
statements that comply with AIFRS. 
This is the Group’s fi rst annual fi nancial 
report prepared in accordance with AIFRS. 
AASB 1: ‘First-time Adoption of Australian 
Equivalents to International Financial 
Reporting Standards’ has been applied 

in preparing these fi nancial statements. 
An explanation of how the transition from 
superseded policies to AIFRS has impacted 
the Group’s reported fi nancial position, 
fi nancial performance and cash fl ow, is set 
out in Note 51. 

The accounting policies have been 
consistently applied by all consolidated 
entities and to all periods presented in 
the consolidated fi nancial report, and the 
opening AIFRS balance sheet as at 1 October 
2004, except for those policies relating to 
standards for which comparatives are not 
restated, as permitted under the fi rst time 
adoption transitional provisions of AASB 
1. The standards are AASB 132: ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure’, 
AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement’, and AASB 
4: ‘Insurance Contracts’. Policies applied 
in respect of the period 1 October 2004 to 
September 2005 prior to the adoption of 
these standards are set out as ‘comparative 
accounting policy’ throughout this note.

The Group has elected to early adopt 
the following accounting standards and 
amendments:
  AASB 119: ‘Employee Benefi ts’ 
(December 2004)
  AASB 2004-3: ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards’ (December 
2004) amending AASB 1, AASB 101: 
‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and 
AASB 124: ‘Related Party Disclosures’
  AASB 2005-3: ‘Amendment to Australian 
Accounting Standards’ (June 2005) 
amending AASB 119: ‘Employee Benefi ts’ 
(December 2004)

   AASB 2005-4: ‘Amendments to 

Australian Accounting Standards’ 
(June 2005) amending AASB 139: 
‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement’, AASB 132: ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure’, 
AASB 1: ‘First-time Adoption of Australian 
Equivalents to International Financial 
Reporting Standards’ (July 2004), AASB 
1023: ‘General Insurance Contracts’ and 
AASB 1038: ‘Life Insurance Contracts’.

The following standards and amendments 
were available for early adoption but have 
not been applied by the Group in these 
fi nancial statements:
  AASB 7: ‘Financial Instruments: 
Disclosure’. AASB 7 is applicable for 
annual reporting periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2007
  AASB 2005-1: ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards’ (May 2005) 
amending AASB 139. AASB 2005-1 is 
applicable for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2006.

6  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

  AASB 2005-9: ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards’ (September 2005) 
replacing the presentation requirements 
for fi nancial instruments in AASB 132. 
AASB 2005-9 is applicable for annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2006.
  AASB 2005-10: ‘Amendments to 
Australian Accounting Standards’ 
(September 2005) makes consequential 
amendments to AASB 132: ‘Financial 
Instruments: Presentation and 
Disclosure’, AASB 101: ‘Presentation 
of Financial Statements’, AASB 114: 
‘Segment Reporting’, AASB 117: ‘Leases’, 
AASB 133: ‘Earnings per Share’, AASB 
139: ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement’, AASB 1, AASB 4, 
AASB 1023: ‘General Insurance Contracts’ 
and AASB 1038: ‘Life Insurance Contracts’ 
arising from the release of AASB 7. AASB 
2005-10 is applicable for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2007.

The initial application of AASB 7 and AASB 
2005-10 is not expected to have an impact 
on the fi nancial results of the Company 
and the Group as the standard and the 
amendment are only concerned 
with disclosures.

AASB 7 requires the disclosure of the 
signifi cance of fi nancial instruments on an 
entity’s fi nancial position and performance 
and of qualitative and quantitative 
information about exposure to risks arising 
from fi nancial instruments. AASB 2005-10 
amendments arise from the release of AASB 
7 and are only applicable when an entity 
adopts AASB 7.

AASB 2005-1 permits the foreign currency 
risk of a highly probable intragroup forecast 
transaction to qualify as the hedged item in 
consolidated fi nancial statements provided 
that the transaction is denominated in a 
currency other than the functional currency 
of the entity entering into that transaction 
and the foreign currency risk will affect 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

As a result of the amendments introduced 
by AASB 2005-1, the Group can no longer 
designate NZD denominated revenues 
of its New Zealand subsidiary as hedged 
items. The realised gains on the hedges 
of future years’ revenues of approximately 
$141 million (net of tax) are included in the 
hedging reserve in equity at 30 September 
2006. In line with AIFRS requirements, these 
gains (which would have otherwise been 
transferred to the income statement in future 
years as the hedged transactions occurred) 
were transferred directly to retained earnings 
at 1 October 2006.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

The initial application of AASB 2005-9 
could have an impact on the fi nancial 
results of the Company and the Group 
as the amendment could result in liabilities 
being recognised for fi nancial guarantee 
contracts that have been provided by 
the Company and the Group. However, 
the quantifi cation of the impact is not yet 
known or reasonably estimable. An exercise 
to quantify the fi nancial impact is currently 
being undertaken by the Company and 
the Group.

ii) Consolidation
The fi nancial statements consolidate 
the fi nancial statements of Australia and 
New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the 
Company) and all of its controlled entities 
where it is determined that there is a 
capacity to control.

Where controlled entities 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 power to govern directly 
or indirectly the fi nancial and operating 
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts 
from its activities. Control is usually present 
when an entity has: power over more than 
one-half of the voting rights of the other 
entity; power to govern the fi nancial and 
operating policies of the other entity; 
power to appoint or remove the majority 
of the members of the board of directors 
or equivalent governing body; or power to 
cast the majority of votes at meetings of the 
board of directors or equivalent governing 
body of the entity. In addition, potential 
voting rights that are presently exercisable or 
convertible are taken into account. However, 
all the facts of a particular situation are 
considered when determining whether 
control exists. In relation to special purpose 
entities, such control is also deemed to 
exist even where an entity owns less than a 
majority of the shareholder or Board voting 
power of such companies, provided that the 
following factors exist:
  the majority of the benefi ts from their 
activities accrue to the entity
  the entity has the majority of the residual 
risks and rewards of the special purpose 
entity.

Further detail on special purpose entities 
is provided in note 2(i).

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 income statement. Shares 
in associates and joint venture entities 
are stated in the consolidated balance 
sheet 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 fl ow methodology. In 
the course of completing this impairment 
review other methodologies are considered 
to determine the reasonableness of the 
valuation, including the multiples 
of earnings methodology. 

In the Company’s fi nancial statements, 
investments in associates and joint venture 
entities are carried at cost.

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

Derecognition
The Group enters into transactions where it 
transfers assets recognised on its balance 
sheet but retains either all risks and rewards 
of the transferred assets or a portion of 
them. If all or substantially all risks and 
rewards are retained, the transferred assets 
are not derecognised from the balance 
sheet. The main types of fi nancial assets 
that do not qualify for derecognition are 
debt securities held by counterparties as 
collateral under repurchase agreements, 
equity securities lent under securities 
lending agreements and securitised assets. 

In transactions where substantially all 
the risks and rewards of ownership of a 
fi nancial asset are neither retained nor 
transferred, the Group derecognises the 
asset if control over the asset is lost. The 
rights and obligations retained in the 
transfer are recognised separately as assets 
and liabilities as appropriate. In transfers 
where control over the asset is retained, 
the Group continues to recognise the asset 
to the extent of its continuing involvement, 
determined by the extent to which it is 
exposed to changes in the value of the 
transferred asset. 

iii) Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the fi nancial statements 
of each of the Group’s entities are measured 
using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates 
(the functional currency).

 7

The consolidated fi nancial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is 
the Company’s functional and presentation 
currency.

Translation differences on non-monetary 
items, such as derivatives measured at fair 
value through profi t or loss, are reported as 
part of the fair value gain or loss on these 
items. For 2006, translation differences on 
non-monetary items measured at fair value 
through equity, such as equities classifi ed 
as available-for-sale fi nancial assets, are 
included in the available-for-sale reserve 
in equity.

Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated 
into the functional currency using the 
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from (i) the settlement of 
such transactions, and (ii) the translation 
at year-end exchange rates of monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in 
foreign currencies, are recognised in the 
income statement, except when deferred 
in equity as qualifying cash fl ow hedges 
and qualifying net investment hedges. 

Foreign operations
The results and fi nancial position of all 
Group entities (none of which has the 
currency of a hyperinfl ationary economy), 
that have a functional currency different 
from the Group’s presentation currency, 
are translated into the Group’s presentation 
currency as follows:

(i) assets and liabilities of each foreign 
operation are translated at the rates of 
exchange ruling at balance date;

(ii) revenue and expenses of each foreign 
operation are translated at the average 
exchange rate for the period, unless this 
average is not a reasonable approximation 
of the rate prevailing on transaction date, 
in which case revenue and expenses are 
translated at the exchange rate ruling at 
transaction date; and

(iii) all resulting exchange differences 
are recognised in the foreign currency 
translation reserve. 

On consolidation, exchange differences 
arising from borrowings and other currency 
instruments designated as hedges of net 
investment in foreign operations, are taken 
to the foreign currency translation reserve.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

When a foreign operation is disposed, such 
exchange differences are recognised in the 
income statement as part of the gain or loss 
on sale. 

Fees charged for providing ongoing services 
(for example, maintaining and administering 
existing facilities) are recognised as income 
over the period the service is provided.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising 
on the acquisition of a foreign entity are 
treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign entity and translated at the rate 
ruling at balance date.

iv) Interest income and interest expense

Current accounting policy
Interest income and interest expense are 
recognised in the income statement as they 
accrue, using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method calculates 
the amortised cost of a fi nancial asset or 
fi nancial liability and allocates the interest 
income or interest expense, including fees 
and directly related transaction costs that 
are an integral part of the effective interest 
rate, over the expected life of the fi nancial 
instrument. Income and expense on the 
fi nancial instruments are recognised on 
an effective yield basis in proportion to 
the amount outstanding over the period 
to maturity or repayment.

Loan commitment fees, together with related 
direct costs, are deferred and recognised 
as an adjustment to the interest yield on 
the loan once drawn or immediately to the 
income statement for expired commitments.

Fees and commissions payable to brokers 
in respect of originating lending business, 
where these are direct and incremental costs 
related to the issue of a fi nancial instrument, 
are deferred in other assets and recognised 
in interest income as part of the effective 
interest rate.

Comparative period policy
Interest on amounts outstanding is 
accounted for on an accruals basis with 
the exception of interest on non-accrual 
loans as set out in note 1(x) under 
comparative period policy.

v) Fee and commission income

Current accounting policy
Fees and commissions that are integral to 
the effective interest rate of a fi nancial asset 
or liability are included in the determination 
of the effective interest rate. 
Fees and commissions that relate to the 
execution of a signifi cant act (for example, 
advisory or arrangement services, placement 
fees and underwriting fees) are recognised 
when the signifi cant act has been completed.

Comparative period policy
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.

vi) Offsetting of income and expenses
Income and expenses are not offset unless 
required or permitted by an accounting 
standard. At the Group level, this generally 
arises in the following circumstances:
  where transaction costs form an integral 
part of the effective interest rate of a 
fi nancial instrument which is measured 
at amortised cost, these are offset against 
the interest income generated by the 
fi nancial instrument
  where gains and losses relating to fair 
value hedges are assessed as being 
effective
  where gains and losses from a group of 
similar transactions are reported on a net 
basis, such as foreign exchange gains and 
losses
  where amounts are collected on behalf of 
third parties, where the Group is acting as 
an agent only, or
  where costs are incurred on behalf of 
customers from whom the Group is 
reimbursed.

vii) Trading securities and other fi nancial 
assets at fair value through profi t or loss

Current accounting policy
Trading securities and other fi nancial 
instruments acquired principally for the 
purpose of selling in the short-term or which 
are a part of a portfolio which is managed 
for short-term profi t-taking are initially 
recognised and subsequently measured 
in the balance sheet at their fair value. 
Additionally, this valuation basis is used 
as an alternative to hedge accounting for 
certain fi nancial instruments where certain 
conditions are met. 

Changes in the fair value (gains or losses) 
of these fi nancial instruments are 
recognised in the income statement 
in the period in which they occur.

8  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

Comparative period policy
Securities held for trading purposes are 
recorded at market value. Unrealised gains 
and losses on revaluation are taken to the 
income statement.

viii) Derivative fi nancial instruments

Current accounting policy
Derivative fi nancial instruments are 
contracts whose value is derived from one 
or more underlying price, index or other 
variable. They include swaps, forward 
rate agreements, futures, options and 
combinations of these instruments.

Derivative fi nancial instruments are 
entered into for trading purposes (including 
customer-related reasons), or for hedging 
purposes (where the derivative instruments 
are used to hedge the Group’s exposures 
to interest rate risk, currency risk, price risk, 
credit risk and other exposures relating to 
non-trading positions).

Derivative fi nancial instruments are 
recognised initially at fair value with gains 
or losses from subsequent measurement 
at fair value being recognised in the 
income statement. Where the derivative 
is designated effective as a hedging 
instrument, the timing of the recognition 
of any resultant gain or loss in the income 
statement is dependent on the hedging 
designation. These hedging designations 
and associated accounting are as follows:

  Fair value hedge
  Where the Group hedges the fair value 
of a recognised asset or liability or fi rm 
commitment, changes in the fair value 
of the derivative designated as a fair 
value hedge are recognised in the 
income statement. Changes in the fair 
value of the hedged item attributable 
to the hedged risk are refl ected in 
adjustments to the carrying value of the 
hedged item, which are also recognised 
in the income statement.

  Hedge accounting is discontinued 

when the hedge instrument expires 
or is sold, terminated, exercised or no 
longer qualifi es for hedge accounting. 
The resulting adjustment to the carrying 
amount of the hedged item arising from 
the hedged risk is amortised to the 
income statement over the period to 
maturity.
If the hedged item is sold or repaid, the 
unamortised fair value adjustment is 
recognised immediately in the income 
statement.

 
Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

  Cash fl ow hedge
  The Group designates derivatives as 

cash fl ow hedges where the instrument 
hedges the variability in cash fl ows 
of a recognised asset or liability, a 
foreign exchange component of a fi rm 
commitment or a highly probable forecast 
transaction. The effective portion of 
changes in the fair value of derivatives 
qualifying and designated as cash fl ow 
hedges is deferred to the hedging reserve 
which forms part of shareholders’ equity. 
Any ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in the income statement. 
Amounts deferred in equity are recognised 
in the income statement in the period 
during which the hedged forecast 
transactions take place.

  When the hedge expires, is sold, 

terminated, exercised, or no longer 
qualifi es for hedge accounting, the 
cumulative amount deferred in equity 
remains in the hedging reserve, and is 
subsequently transferred to the income 
statement when the hedged item is 
recognised in the income statement.
  When a forecast transaction is no longer 
expected to occur, the amount deferred 
in equity is recognised immediately in the 
income statement.
  Net investment hedge
  Hedges of net investments in foreign 

operations are accounted for similarly to 
cash fl ow hedges. The gain or loss from 
remeasuring the fair value of the hedging 
instrument relating to the effective portion 
of the hedge is deferred in equity and 
the ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in the income statement. 

Derivatives that do not qualify for 
hedge accounting
All gains and losses from changes in the fair 
value of derivatives that are not designated 
in a hedging relationship but are entered 
into to manage the interest rate and foreign 
exchange risk of funding instruments are 
recognised in the income statement. Under 
certain circumstances, the component 
of the fair value change in the derivative 
which relates to current period realised and 
unrealised interest is included in net interest 
income. The remainder of the fair value 
movement is included in other income.

Purchases and sales of derivatives that 
do not qualify for hedge accounting are 
recognised on trade date, being the date 
on which the Group commits to purchase 
or sell the asset.

Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in fi nancial 
instruments or other host contracts are 
treated as separate derivatives when their 
economic characteristics and risks are not 
closely related to those of the host contracts, 
and the host contracts are not measured 
at fair value. The embedded derivative is 
measured at fair value with changes in fair 
value immediately recognised in the income 
statement.

Cash fl ow treatment
Movements in the derivative fi nancial 
position are recorded in the cash fl ow 
statement when they are settled on the 
other fi nancing and investing lines.

Set-off arrangements
Fair value gains/losses arising from trading 
derivatives are not offset against fair value 
gains/losses on the balance sheet 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 income 
statement, unrealised gains on derivatives 
are recognised as part of other assets and 
unrealised losses are recognised as part of 
other liabilities.

Comparative accounting policy
Trading derivatives, comprising derivatives 
entered into for customer-related or for 
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 income statement.

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 
income statement in the other operating 
income line.

 9

Gains and losses on derivatives related to 
hedging exposures arising from anticipated 
transactions are deferred and recognised 
in the fi nancial 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 
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 designated 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 balance sheet.

Gains and losses that arise prior to and 
upon 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 income 
statement in other income.

ix) Available-for-sale assets

Current accounting policy
Available-for-sale assets comprise non-
derivative fi nancial assets which the Group 
designates as available-for-sale but which 
are not deemed to be held principally 
for trading purposes, and include equity 
investments, certain loans and advances, 
and fi xed term securities. They are initially 
recognised at fair value plus transaction 
costs. Subsequent gains or losses arising 
from changes in fair value are included 
as a separate component of equity, the 
‘Available-for-sale revaluation reserve’. 
When the asset is sold the cumulative gain 
or loss relating to the asset is transferred 
to the income statement.

Where there is objective evidence of 
impairment on an available-for-sale asset, 
the cumulative loss related to that asset 
is removed from equity and recognised in 
the income statement. If, in a subsequent 
period, the amount of an impairment 
loss relating to an available-for-sale debt 
instrument decreases and the decrease can 
be linked objectively to an event occurring 
after the impairment event, the loss is 
reversed through the income statement. 

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

Premiums and discounts are included 
within the calculation of the fair value of the 
security. Interest income is accrued on an 
effective yield basis and dividend income 
is recognised when the right to receive 
payment is established.

Financial assets previously disclosed
as investment securities are now 
predominantly treated as available-for-sale 
securities.

Purchases and sales of available-for-sale 
fi nancial assets are recognised on trade 
date, being the date on which the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Comparative period policy
Investment securities are those which the 
Group 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 value 
market disclosures is determined using 
quoted market prices for securities with the 
same or similar credit, maturity and yield 
characteristics.

x) Net loans and advances

Current accounting policy
Net loans and advances are non-derivative 
fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable 
payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. They arise when the Group provides 
money to a debtor with no intention of 
trading the loans and advances. The loans 
and advances are initially recognised at fair 
value plus transaction costs that are directly 
attributable to the issue of the loan or 
advance. They are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method (refer note 1(iv)). They are 
derecognised when the rights to receive 
cash fl ows have expired or the Group has 
transferred substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership.

All loans are subject to scrutiny and graded 
according to the level of credit risk.

investment outstanding in respect of the 
lease. Any unguaranteed operating lease 
residual is recorded as other assets and 
not within net loans and advances. 

At the end of the lease term, goods are 
disposed of and proceeds received are 
applied against the residual value. Any 
resulting gains or losses are recognised 
through the income statement. 

xi) Impairment of loans and advances

Current accounting policy
Loans and advances are reviewed at least 
at each reporting date for impairment.

Credit impairment provisions are raised 
for exposures, including off-balance 
sheet items such as commitments and 
guarantees, that are known to be impaired. 
Exposures are impaired and impairment 
losses are recorded if, and only if, there 
is objective evidence of impairment as 
a result of one or more loss events that 
occurred after the initial recognition of the 
loan and prior to the reporting date, and 
that loss event or events has had an impact 
on the estimated future cash fl ows of the 
individual loan or the collective portfolio 
of loans that can be reliably estimated.

Impairment is assessed individually for 
assets that are individually signifi cant (or 
on a portfolio basis for small value loans), 
and then on a collective basis for those 
exposures not individually known to be 
impaired.

Exposures that are assessed collectively 
are placed in pools of similar assets with 
similar risk characteristics. 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 estimated impairment losses are 
measured as the difference between the 
assets carrying amount and the estimated 
future cash fl ows discounted to their 
present value. As this discount unwinds 
during the period between recognition 
of impairment and recovery of the cash 
fl ow, it is recognised in interest income. 
The process of estimating the amount and 
timing of cash fl ows involves considerable 
management judgment. These judgments 
are reviewed regularly to reduce any 
differences between loss estimates and 
actual loss experience.

Net loans and advances includes direct 
fi nance provided to customers such as bank 
overdrafts, credit cards, term loans, fi nance 
lease receivables and commercial bills. 
Overdrafts, credit cards, term loans and 
commercial bills are carried at amortised 
cost. 

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

Comparative accounting policy
Loans are classifi ed as either productive 
or non-accrual. 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.

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.

Finance lease receivables
Finance lease receivables include amounts 
due from lessees in relation to fi nance 
leases and hire purchase contracts.

A hire purchase contract is one where the 
Group (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 
passes to the customer.

The gross amount of contractual payments 
regarding lease fi nance to business 
customers that have a fi xed rate and a fi xed 
term are recorded as gross lease receivables 
and the unearned interest component is 
recognised as income yet to mature. 

Finance lease receivables are initially 
recognised at amounts equal to the present 
value of the minimum lease payments, 
plus the present value of any unguaranteed 
residual value expected to accrue at the end 
of the lease term. Finance lease payments 
are allocated between interest revenue 
and reduction in the lease receivable over 
the term of the fi nance lease, refl ecting a 
constant periodic rate of return on the net 

10  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

The provision for impairment loss 
(individual and collective) is deducted from 
loans and advances in the balance sheet 
and the movement for the reporting period 
is refl ected in the income statement.

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written-
off against the related provision for loan 
impairment. Subsequent recoveries of 
amounts previously written-off are credited 
back to the income statement.

Where impairment losses recognised 
in previous periods have subsequently 
decreased or no longer exist, such 
impairments are reversed in the 
income statement.

A provision is also raised for off balance 
sheet items such as commitments and 
guarantees that are considered to be 
onerous.

Comparative accounting policy
The Group recognises an expense for credit 
losses through a systematic approach 
drawing on historical loss experience, 
portfolio composition, internal rating 
statistics and overlaid by management 
judgement to ensure the estimated expense 
refl ects current economic conditions and 
credit risks. 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 incurred loss by considering:
  the history of credit loss for each type 
and risk rate of lending; and
  the size, composition and risk profi le 
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. 
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 insuffi cient to cover credit losses not 
yet individually identifi ed. As a result of the 
reassessments, ELP charge levels may be 
periodically increased or decreased.

Specifi c provisions are raised to cover 
expected losses, where full recovery 
of principal is doubtful. All known bad 
debts are written off in the year in which 
they are identifi ed. The specifi c provision 
requirement (representing new and 
increased specifi c provisions less specifi c 
provision releases) is transferred from the 
General Provision to the Specifi c Provision. 
Recoveries, representing excess transfers 
to the Specifi c Provision, are credited to the 
General Provision.

Provisions for doubtful debts are deducted 
from loans and advances in the balance 
sheet.

xii) Leasing

Leases as lessee
Leases entered into by the Group as lessee 
are predominantly operating leases, and the 
operating lease payments are recognised as 
an expense on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.

Leases as lessor
Contracts to lease assets, and hire purchase 
agreements are classifi ed as fi nance leases 
if they transfer substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership of the asset to 
the customer or an unrelated third party. 
All other lease contracts are classifi ed as 
operating leases. The policy for accounting 
for fi nance leases as lessor is explained in 
note 1(x) above.

xiii) Acceptances
Commercial bills accepted but not held in 
portfolio are accounted for as a liability with 
a corresponding contra asset. The liability is 
disclosed as liability for acceptances, and 
the asset is disclosed as Customer’s liability 
for acceptances

The Group’s own acceptances discounted 
are held as part of the trading securities 
portfolio.

xiv) Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the 
purchase consideration over the fair value 
of the identifi able net assets of a controlled 
entity at the date of gaining control, is 
recognised as an asset and not amortised, 
but assessed for impairment annually and 
whenever there is an indication that the 
goodwill may be impaired. This involves, 
where required, using the discounted 
cash fl ow (DCF) or the capitalisation of 
earnings methodology (CEM) to determine 
the expected future benefi ts of the cash-

 11

generating units. Where the assessment 
results in the goodwill balance exceeding 
the value of expected future benefi ts, 
the difference is charged to the income 
statement.

Any impairment of goodwill is not 
subsequently reversed.

Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include costs 
incurred in acquiring and building software 
and computer systems (“software”).

Software is amortised using the straight-
line method over its expected useful life 
to the Group. The period of amortisation is 
between 3 and 5 years except for branch 
front-end applications where 7 years is 
used.

At each reporting date, software assets 
are reviewed for impairment. If any such 
indication exists, the recoverable amount 
of the assets are estimated and compared 
against the existing carrying value. Where 
the existing carrying value exceeds the 
recoverable amount, the difference is 
charged to the income statement.

Costs incurred in planning or evaluating 
software proposals, or in maintaining 
systems after implementation, are not 
capitalised.

xv) Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at 
cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment.

The gain 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:

1%
Buildings
10%
Building integrals
Furniture & equipment
10%
Computer & offi ce equipment 12.5%–33%

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

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

Premises and equipment impairment 
assessment
At each reporting date, the carrying 
amounts of premises and equipment 
are reviewed for impairment. If any such 
indication exists, the recoverable amount 
of the assets are estimated and compared 
against the existing carrying value. Where 
the existing carrying value exceeds the 
recoverable amount, the difference is 
charged to the income statement. If it is 
not possible to estimate the recoverable 
amount of an individual asset, the Group 
estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash generating unit to which the asset 
belongs.

A previously recognised impairment loss 
is reversed if there has been a change 
in the estimates used to determine the 
recoverable amount.

xvi) Repurchase agreements
Securities sold under repurchase 
agreements are retained in the fi nancial 
statements where substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership remain with 
the Group, and a counterparty liability is 
disclosed under the classifi cations of due 
to other fi nancial institutions or payables 
and other liabilities. The difference between 
the sale price and the repurchase price 
is accrued over the life of the repurchase 
agreement and charged to interest expense 
in the income statement.

Securities purchased under agreements to 
resell, where the Group does not acquire 
the risks and rewards of ownership, are 
recorded as liquid assets, net loans and 
advances, or due from other fi nancial 
institutions, depending on the term of 
the agreement and the counterparty. The 
security is not included in the balance 
sheet. Interest income is accrued on the 
underlying loan amount.

Securities borrowed are not recognised 
in the balance sheet, unless these are 
sold to third parties, at which point the 
obligation to repurchase is recorded as 
a fi nancial liability at fair value with fair 
value movements included in the income 
statement.

xvii) Capitalised expenses
Direct external expenses, comprising 
direct and incremental costs related 
to the acquisition of interest earning 
assets, including structured institutional 
lending, mortgages and fi nance leases, 

are initially recognised as part of the cost 
of acquiring the asset and amortised as 
part of expected yield over its expected 
life using the effective interest method. 
The write-off is to interest income as part 
of the effective interest rate. 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.

xviii) Deposits and other borrowings
Deposits and other borrowings include 
certifi cates of deposit, interest bearing 
deposits, debentures and other related 
interest bearing fi nancial instruments. 
They are measured at amortised cost. The 
interest expense is recognised using the 
effective interest method as explained in 
note 1(iv). 

xix) Bonds, notes and loan capital
Bonds, notes and loan capital are 
accounted for in the same way as deposits 
and other borrowings, except for those 
bonds and notes which are stated at fair 
value, with fair value movements recorded 
in the income statement.

xx) Employee benefi ts

Leave benefi ts
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 calculated and accrued 
for in respect of all applicable employees 
(including on-costs) using an actuarial 
valuation. 

Defi ned contribution superannuation 
schemes
The Group operates a number of 
defi ned contribution schemes and also 
contributes, according to local law, in the 
various countries in which it operates, to 
government and other plans that have 
the characteristics of defi ned contribution 
schemes. The Group’s contributions to 
these schemes are recognised as an 
expense in the income statement when 
incurred. 

Defi ned benefi t superannuation schemes
The directors have elected under s334(5) 
of the Corporations Act 2001 to early adopt 
the December 2004 revision of Australian 
Accounting Standard AASB 119: ‘Employee 
Benefi ts’.

The Group operates a number of defi ned 
benefi t schemes. The liability and expense 
related to providing benefi ts to employees 
under each defi ned benefi t scheme are 
calculated by independent actuaries. 
Initially, a defi ned benefi t liability is 
recognised, to the extent that the present 
value of the defi ned benefi t obligation 
of each scheme, calculated using the 
Projected Unit Credit Method, is greater 
than the fair value of each scheme’s assets. 
Where this calculation results in a benefi t 
to the Group, a defi ned benefi t asset is 
recognised. In each subsequent reporting 
period, ongoing movements in the defi ned 
benefi t liability or asset carrying value is 
treated as follows:
  the net movement relating to the current 
period’s service cost, interest cost, 
expected return on scheme assets, 
past service costs and other costs 
(such as the effects of any curtailments 
and settlements) is recognised as 
an employee expense in the income 
statement
  movements relating to actuarial gains 
and losses are recognised directly in 
retained earnings
  contributions incurred are recognised 
directly against the net defi ned benefi t 
position.

Share-based compensation
The Group has various equity settled 
share-based compensation plans. These 
are described in Note 47 of the 2006 
annual fi nancial report and largely comprise 
the Employee Share Acquisition Plan and 
the ANZ Share Option Plan.

ANZ ordinary shares: The fair value of 
ANZ ordinary shares granted under the 
Employee Share Acquisition Plan is 
measured at grant date, using the one-day 
volume weighted average market price 
of ANZ shares. The fair value is expensed 
immediately when shares vest immediately 
or on a straight-line basis over the relevant 
vesting period. This is recognised as an 
employee compensation expense with a 
corresponding increase in equity.

12  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

Notes to the fi nancial statements

1: Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued)

Share options: The fair value of share 
options is measured at grant date, using 
an option pricing model. The fair value is 
expensed on a straight-line basis over the 
relevant vesting period. This is recognised as 
an employee compensation expense with a 
corresponding increase in the share options 
reserve. The option pricing model takes into 
account the exercise price of the option, the 
risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility 
of ANZ ordinary share price and other 
factors. Market vesting conditions are taken 
into account in estimating the fair value.

Performance rights: From October 2005, ANZ 
has granted Performance Rights to certain 
employees. A Performance Right is a right to 
acquire a share at nil cost to the employee 
subject to satisfactorily meeting time and 
performance hurdles. Upon exercise, each 
Performance Right entitles the holder to 
one ordinary share in ANZ. The fair value of 
Performance Rights is determined at grant 
date using an option pricing model, taking 
into account market conditions. The fair 
value is expensed over the relevant vesting 
period. This is recognised as an employee 
expense with a corresponding increase in 
equity.

Other adjustments: The amount recognised 
as an expense is adjusted to refl ect the 
actual number of shares or share options 
that vest, except where forfeiture is only due 
to share prices not achieving the threshold 
for vesting.

xxi) Provisions
The Group recognises provisions when there 
is a present obligation, the future sacrifi ce 
of economic benefi ts is probable, and the 
amount of the provision can be measured 
reliably. The amount recognised is the best 
estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at reporting 
date, taking into account the risks and 
uncertainties surrounding the obligation 
at reporting date. Where a provision is 
measured using the cash fl ows estimated 
to settle the present obligation, its carrying 
amount is the present value of those cash 
fl ows. Any expected third party recoveries 
are recognised as an asset if it is virtually 
certain that recovery will be received and the 
amount of the receivable can be measured 
reliably.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured at the tax rates that are expected 
to apply to the year(s) when the asset and 
liability giving rise to them are realised or 
settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) 
that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the reporting date. The 
measurement refl ects the tax consequences 
that would follow from the manner in which 
the Group, at the reporting date, recovers or 
settles the carrying amount of its assets and 
liabilities.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for 
all taxable temporary differences, other 
than those in relation to taxable temporary 
differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for 
taxable temporary differences arising on 
investments in controlled entities, branches, 
associates and joint ventures, except where 
the Group is able to control the reversal of 
the temporary differences and it is probable 
that temporary differences will not reverse 
in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax 
assets associated with these interests 
are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that the temporary difference will 
reverse in the foreseeable future and there 
will be suffi cient taxable profi ts against 
which to utilise the benefi ts of the temporary 
difference.

Deferred tax assets, including those related 
to the tax effects of income tax losses and 
credits available to be carried forward, 
are recognised only to the extent that it 
is probable that future taxable profi ts will 
be available against which the deductible 
temporary differences or unused tax losses 
and credits can be utilised.

For details of Tax Consolidation, refer note 6.

xxv) Change in accounting policy
In the current reporting period the Group has 
adopted AASB 132: ‘Financial Instruments: 
Presentation and Disclosure’, AASB 139: 
‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement’ and AASB 4: ‘Insurance 
Contracts’. This change in accounting policy 
has been adopted in accordance with the 
transitional rules of AASB 1, which does 
not require the restatement of comparative 
information for fi nancial instruments within 
the scope of AASB 132, AASB 139 and AASB 
4. The impact of this change in accounting 
policy in the current reporting period is 
detailed in note 51.

xxii) Offsetting of assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are offset and the net 
amount reported in the balance sheet only 
where there is:
  a current enforceable legal right to offset 
the asset and liability, and
  an intention to settle on a net basis, or to 
realise the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously.

xxiii) Loss contingencies
These items are recorded as liabilities 
on the balance sheet when the following 
requirements are met:

  the transaction is probable in that the 
contingency is likely to occur; and 
  the contingency can be reasonably 
estimated.

Further disclosure is made in note 45, where 
the above requirements are not met but 
there is a possible obligation that is higher 
than remote. Specifi c details are provided 
together with an estimate of the range or 
a statement that such an estimate is not 
possible.

xxiv) Income tax

Income tax expense
Income tax on earnings for the year 
comprises current and deferred tax and is 
based on the applicable tax law in each 
jurisdiction. It is recognised in the income 
statement as tax expense, except when it 
relates to items credited directly to equity, 
in which case it is recorded in equity, or 
where it arises from the initial accounting for 
a business combination, in which case it is 
included in the determination of goodwill.

Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on 
taxable income for the year, based on tax 
rates (and tax laws) which are enacted or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date, 
including any adjustment for tax payable 
in previous years. Current tax for current 
and prior years is recognised as a liability 
(or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or 
refundable).

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the 
comprehensive tax balance sheet liability 
method. It is generated by temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting 
purposes, and the amounts used for 
taxation purposes.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

2: Critical Estimates and Judgements Used in Applying Accounting Policies

The Group prepares its consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with policies which are based on Australian Equivalents to International 
Financial Reporting Standards, other authoritative accounting pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues 
Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act of 2001. This involves the Group making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts within the fi nancial statements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical factors, including 
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. All material changes to accounting policies and 
estimates and the application of these policies and judgements are approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

A brief explanation of critical estimates and judgements, and their impact on the Group, follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Provisions for credit impairment
The accounting policy, as explained in note 1(xi), relating to measuring the impairment of loans and advances, requires the Group to assess 
impairment regularly. The credit provisions raised (individual and collective) represent management’s best estimate of the losses incurred in 
the loan portfolio at balance date based on their experienced judgement.

The collective provision is estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit characteristics similar to those in the 
collective pool. The historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data and events and an assessment of the impact of 
model risk. The use of such judgements and reasonable estimates is considered by management to be an essential part of the process and 
does not impact on reliability.

Individual provisioning is applied when the full collectibility of one of the Group’s loans is identifi ed as being doubtful.

Individual and collective provisioning is calculated using discounted expected future cash fl ows. The methodology and assumptions used for 
estimating both the amount and timing of future cash fl ows are revised regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual 
loss experience.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

i) Special purpose and off balance sheet entities
The Group may invest in or establish special purpose entities (SPEs) to enable it to undertake specifi c types of transactions. The main types 
of these SPEs are securitisation vehicles, structured fi nance entities, entities used to sell credit protection and managed funds. 

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

The Group does not consolidate SPEs that it does not control in accordance with the Group’s policy outlined in note 1(ii). As it can sometimes 
be diffi cult to determine whether the Group has control of an SPE, it makes judgments about its exposure to the risks and rewards, as well as 
about its ability to make operational decisions for the SPE in question. 

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.

Type of SPE

Reason for establishment

Key Risks

Securitisation vehicles

Assets are transferred to an SPE which funds 
the purchase by issuing securities. This enables 
ANZ or customers to increase diversity of 
funding sources.

The amount disclosed here is the total assets of 
SPEs managed or arranged by ANZ. It includes 
SPEs that purchase assets from sellers other 
than ANZ.

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. ANZ does not 
bear the majority of residual rights and 
rewards.

2: Critical Estimates and Judgements Used in Applying Accounting Policies (continued)

Impairment testing of purchased goodwill 
is performed annually in March through an 
independent valuation, by comparing the 
recoverable value of the CGU with the current 
carrying amount of its net assets, including 
goodwill. Where the current carrying value 
is greater than fair value a charge for 
impairment of goodwill will be recorded 
in the income statement. 

In determining the fair value of the CGU 
for testing of the goodwill in ANZ National 
Bank Ltd, an independent valuation is 
obtained based on a capitalisation of 
earnings approach. Under this methodology, 
valuation multiples (such as the price to 
earnings (PE) ratio) observed from previous 
transactions in the banking sector and 
current price/cash earnings multiples from 
similar businesses are used to determine 
an appropriate price/earnings multiple for 
the CGU. 

In determining an appropriate price multiple 
for the valuation, judgement is applied 
when assessing comparable companies and 
transactions, particularly with respect to the 
mix of business, geographic location, growth 
prospects, riskiness of future earnings and 
size of the overall business.

The results of the independent valuation 
carried out as at 31 March 2006 showed  
a fair value in excess of the then current 
carrying value for the CGU and hence the 
carrying value of the goodwill was not 
considered impaired.

At 30 September 2006, impairment testing 
via a management review was conducted 
to determine whether there were any 
indicators of impairment in the carrying 
value of ANZ National Bank Ltd’s goodwill. 
The assessment involved review of the 
following indicators of impairment:
  Performance
  Operational and regulatory factors
  Economic and industry factors

The assessment did not indicate the 
existence of impairment indicators and 
accordingly no write-down was required.

ii) Valuation of investment in ING Australia 
Limited (INGA)
The Group adopts the equity method of 
accounting for its 49% interest in INGA. As 
at 30 September 2006, the Group’s carrying 
value was $1,462 million (September 2005: 
$1,530 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.

Any excess of carrying value above 
recoverable amount is written off to the 
income statement as an impairment 
write-down.

During the year the Group engaged Ernst & 
Young [ABC] Limited (EY [ABC]) to provide an 
independent valuation of INGA for 31 March 
2006 assessment purposes. The valuation 
was a stand alone market based assessment 
of economic value, and excluded the 
Group’s specifi c synergies and hedging 
arrangements. The independent valuation 
was based on a discounted cashfl ow 
approach, with allowance for the cost of 
capital. EY [ABC] presented an independent 
valuation range of $3,955 million to $4,194 
million, refl ecting 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 2006.

At 30 September 2006, impairment testing 
via a management review was conducted 
to determine whether there were any 
indicators of impairment. The assessment 
involved review of the following indicators of 
impairment:
  Performance
  Operational and regulatory factors
  Economic and industry factors

The assessment did not indicate the 
existence of impairment indicators and 
accordingly no write-down was required.

(iii) Valuation of investment in ING (NZ) 
Holdings Limited (ING NZ)
The Group adopts the equity method of 
accounting for its 49% interest in ING NZ.

As at 30 September 2006, the Group’s 
carrying value was $146 million (September 
2005: $131 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.

Any excess of carrying value above 
recoverable amount is written off to 
the income statement as an impairment 
write-down.

During the year the Group engaged 
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to provide an 
impairment analysis of ING NZ for 31 March 
2006 assessment purposes.  The valuation 
was based on a discounted cashfl ow 
approach. PwC presented a valuation range 
as at 31 December 2005 of $337 million 
to $371 million (at 30 September 2006 
exchange rates), refl ecting a range of sales 
and cost base assumptions. 

PwC also considered the additional cash 
generated by ING NZ in the period between 
31 December 2005 and 31 March 2006 in 
order to provide an assessment as at 31 
March 2006 of the appropriateness of the 
carrying value. Based on this review ANZ 
believed that no change was required to the 
carrying value of the investment as at 31 
March 2006.

At 30 September 2006, impairment testing 
via a management review was conducted to 
determine whether there were any indicators 
of impairment based on the 31 March 2006 
valuation. The assessment involved review 
of the following indicators of impairment:

  Performance
  Operational and regulatory factors
  Economic and industry factors

The assessment did not indicate the 
existence of impairment indicators and 
accordingly no write-down was required.

 iv) Goodwill and valuation of goodwill in 
ANZ National Bank Ltd
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 benefi ts.

Any excess of carrying value over recoverable 
amount is taken to the income statement as 
an impairment write-down.

As at 30 September 2006, the balance 
of goodwill recorded as an asset in ANZ 
National Bank Ltd was $2,828 million 
(30 September 2005: $2,943 million).

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating 
units (CGU) for the purpose of impairment 
testing, which is undertaken at the lowest 
level at which goodwill is monitored for 
internal management reporting purposes.

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 confl ict 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 confl ict 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.

1  2006 and 2005 includes services in relation to the transition to Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. 2006 includes additional audit fees in relation to Sarbanes-

Oxley matters. In 2005 KPMG provided Sarbanes-Oxley advisory services which have been included within other assurance services, refer footnote 3 below.
Includes prudential supervision reviews for central banks and prospectus reviews.

Tax consolidation  
The Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. 
The Company is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income and deferred tax liabilities/assets arising from temporary 
differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate fi nancial statements of the members of the tax-
consolidated group on a ‘group allocation’ basis. Current tax liabilities and assets of the tax consolidated group are recognised by the Company 
(as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or 
receivable by the Company and each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the Company 
and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement.

Members of the tax-consolidated group have also entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities 
between the entities should the head entity default on its income tax payment obligations.

1  Under AIFRS, the ANZ Stapled Exchangeable Preferred Securities are now treated as loan capital (refer note 29), with distributions being reported as an interest expense in the fi nancial year ended 

30 September 2006.

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.

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 of ANZ StEPS. Distributions are reported as interest expense from 1 October 2005, due to the reclassifi cation of the preference 
securities as loan capital under AIFRS.

Further details in relation to ANZ StEPS are set out in note 29.

20  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

Notes to the fi nancial statements

7: Dividends (continued)

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 
comprise 2 fully paid securities – an interest paying unsecured note issued by a United Kingdom subsidiary (ANZ Jackson Funding PLC) and 
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 fl oating 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. (Refer to note 30 for further details.)

Dividend Franking Account
The amount of franking credits available to the Company for the subsequent fi nancial year is $341 million (2005: $78 million) after adjusting 
for franking credits that will arise from the payment of tax on Australian profi ts for the 2006 fi nancial year, $543 million of franking credits which 
will be utilised in franking the proposed fi nal 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 signifi cant 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. 

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 specifi ed capital adequacy ratio. In particular, the Australian 
Prudential Regulation Authority has advised 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 profi ts.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
During the year, 3,545,901 ordinary shares were issued at $23.85 per share, and 3,039,401 ordinary shares at $26.50 per share, under the 
dividend reinvestment plan (2005: 3,900,116 ordinary shares at $19.95 per share, and 3,406,775 ordinary shares at $21.85 per share). 
All eligible shareholders can elect to participate in the dividend reinvestment plan. 

Bonus Option Plan
Dividends paid during the year have been reduced as a result of certain shareholders participating in the bonus option plan and foregoing all 
or part of their right to dividends. These shareholders were issued bonus shares.

During the year, 1,384,144 ordinary shares were issued under the bonus option plan (2005: 1,749,584 ordinary shares).

Derivative instruments are contracts whose value is derived from one or more underlying fi nancial 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 
fl uctuations in exchange and interest rates as part of its asset and liability management activities and are classifi ed as other than trading. 
Derivatives are subject to the same types of credit and market risk as other fi nancial 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 specifi ed quantity of foreign currency on a specifi ed 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 fi xed amount of a currency at a specifi ed 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 specifi ed 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 fi xed income security or time deposit at a future date. Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of 
fi xed and fl oating interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Interest rate options provide the buyer 
with the right but not the obligation either to receive or pay interest at a specifi ed 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 credit contracts used by the Group are default swaps. Default swaps are contracts that provide for a specifi ed payment to be made 
to the purchaser of the swap following a defi ned credit event.

The credit risk of derivative fi nancial 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.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

12: Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

The Group further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master agreements with counterparties with which it undertakes a 
signifi cant volume of transactions. The use of a master agreement does not generally result in an offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities. 
However, the credit risk is reduced by a master agreement to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all contracts with the counterparty are 
terminated and settled on a net basis. Despite this, as a result of the number of transactions that are usually subject to such master agreements, 
the Group’s overall exposure to credit risk on derivative instruments can change substantially within a short period.

The following table provides an overview of the Group’s and the Company’s foreign 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 fi nancial 
commodity and represent the volume of outstanding transactions. They are not a measure of the risk associated with a derivative. The 
derivative instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fl uctuations in market rates relative to their terms. 
The aggregate contractual or notional amount of derivative fi nancial instruments on hand, the extent to which instruments are favourable or 
unfavourable, and thus the aggregate fair values of derivative fi nancial assets and liabilities, can fl uctuate signifi cantly from time to time. 
The fair values of derivative instruments held and notional principal amounts are set out below.

12: Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Cashfl ow Hedges (consolidated)
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives qualifying and designated as cash fl ow hedges is deferred to the hedging reserve 
which forms part of shareholders’ equity. Amounts deferred in equity are recognised in the income statement in the period during which the 
hedged forecast transactions take place. As at 30 September 2006, net gains on derivative fi nancial instruments designated as cash fl ow 
hedges deferred to the hedging reserve were $227 million.

Concentrations of Credit Risk (consolidated)
Concentrations of credit risk exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics. Major concentrations of credit 
risk arise by location and type of customer.

The following table shows the concentrations of credit risk, by class of counterparty and by geographic location, measured by credit 
equivalent amount. 

Approximately 72% (2005: 57%) of the Group’s exposures are with counterparties which are either Australian banks or banks based in other 
OECD countries.

Gross impaired fi nancial assets
Individual provisions
  Non-performing loans
  Unproductive facilities 

Net impaired fi nancial assets

Restructured loans

Real estate or other assets acquired through the enforcement of security
In the event of customer default, any loan security is held as mortgagee in possession and therefore 
the Group does not hold any real estate or other assets acquired through the enforcement of security

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more1
These amounts are not classifi ed as impaired assets as they are either 90 days or more past 
due and well secured, or are portfolio managed facilities that can be held on an accrual basis 
for up to 180 days past due

1   Includes unsecured credit card and personal loans 90 day past due accounts which are allowed by APRA to be retained on a performing basis for up to 180 days past due amounting to $64 million 

(2005: $51 million). The remainder of 90 day past due accounts are predominately ‘well secured’, for example no loss of principal or interest is expected.

2  The impairment loss on a non-performing loan is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cashfl ows discounted to their present value. 
  As this discount unwinds during the period it is recognised as interest income. Refer note 1(xi) for explanation on how it arises. The comparatives do not refl ect this change and represent 

interest and other income received.

ACQUISITIONS OF CONTROLLED ENTITIES
The following securitisation special purpose entities were consolidated as part of the Group from 1 October 2004 because of the application of 
UIG Interpretation 112: ‘Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities’. 

  Arc Funding Pty Ltd
  Eos Trust
  Kingfi sher Trust No 1
  Kingfi sher Trust No 2

  Kingfi sher Trust 2001–1G
  Kingfi sher Trust 2004–1G
  Kingfi sher Securitisation Pty Ltd
  Omeros Trust

  Omeros II Trust
  Solera Trust
  Stellar Funding Pty Ltd
  Coral Finance Ltd

The impact of the consolidation of these entities is explained in note 51. 

There were no material controlled entities acquired during the years ended 30 September 2006 and 2005.

DISPOSAL OF CONTROLLED ENTITIES
There were no material controlled entities disposed of during the year ended 30 September 2006. 

In respect of the year ended 30 September 2005, ANZ National Bank Limited entered into a joint venture with ING Insurance International 
Limited (INGII) in September 2005. The joint venture, ING (NZ) Holdings Ltd (INGNZ), is 49% owned by ANZ National Bank Ltd and 51% owned 
by INGII.

On 30 September 2005:
  ANZ National Bank Limited and INGII invested NZD163 million and NZD170 million respectively into INGNZ.
  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 fi nancial statements:
-  reduction in unamortised goodwill of NZD114 million;
-  recognition of approximately NZD16 million ($14 million) profi t on sale of 51% of the NBNZ Life and Funds Management businesses;
-  an investment in INGNZ of NZD145 million.
  INGNZ acquired at market value the New Zealand-based businesses previously owned by INGA. The profi t on sale of the New Zealand-based
  businesses of approximately $40 million is recognised in INGA, however, ANZ’s share of this profi t is eliminated on consolidation.

Included in this balance is debenture stock of controlled entities. $7.9 billion of debenture stock of the consolidated subsidiary company Esanda, together with accrued interest thereon, is secured 
by a trust deed and collateral debentures, giving fl oating charges upon the undertaking and all the assets of the entity other than land and buildings ($14.1 billion). All controlled entities of Esanda 
(except for some controlled entities which have been placed or are expected to be placed in voluntary deregistration and have minimal book value) have guaranteed the payment of principal, 
interest and other monies in relation to all debenture stock and unsecured notes issued by Esanda. The only loans pledged as collateral are those in Esanda and its subsidiaries.

1  The aggregate liability for employee benefi ts largely comprises employee entitlements provisions for annual leave and long service leave.
2  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 benefi ts. 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 their timing is uncertain, and the costs can be reliably estimated.

3  Non-lending losses, frauds and forgeries provisions arise from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or from external events.
4  Other provisions comprise various other provisions including loyalty programs, workers’ compensation and make-good provisions on leased premises.

Loan capital is subordinated in right of payment to the claims of depositors and all other creditors of the Company and its controlled entities which have issued the notes. The loan capital, except 
for the ANZ StEPS and US Trust Securities, constitutes Tier 2 capital as defi ned by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) for capital adequacy purposes. ANZ StEPS and the US Trust 
Securities constitutes Tier 1 capital, as defi ned by APRA, for capital adequacy purposes.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

29: Loan Capital (continued)

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 fl oating 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 profi ts 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 fl oating rate to a fi xed rate, or vice 
versa), margin and the frequency and timing 
of the distribution payment dates. The fi rst 
reset date is 15 September 2008. Holders 
of ANZ StEPS can require exchange on any 
reset date or earlier if certain specifi ed 
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 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.

ANZ StEPS qualify as Tier 1 capital as 
defi ned by the Australian Prudential 
Regulation Authority.

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 stapled security.

The issue was made in two tranches:
  USD350 million tranche with a coupon 
of 4.48% 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.
  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 

42  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

the underlying note. Distributions are 
subject to certain payment tests (eg. APRA 
requirements and distributable profi ts 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 investors 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 converted 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 defi ned by the Australian 
Prudential Regulation Authority.

30: Share Capital (continued)

PREFERENCE SHARES

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 fl oating 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 profi ts 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 
that are represented by the relevant Euro 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 investors 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.

1  Further information about share based payments to employees is disclosed in note 47 to the fi nancial statements.
2  ANZ has taken the election, pursuant to accounting standard AASB 1 (36A), to not comply with accounting standards AASB 132 and AASB 139 in the comparative information in its fi rst AIFRS 

fi nancial report. Therefore the 2005 year is nil for this line item.

3  The transfer of balances from the general and capital reserves to retained earnings represent items of a distributable nature.
4  Comprises:

- Remeasurement of the carrying value of the Group’s investment in INGA as at 1 October 2005
- Adjustment in respect of hedging derivative fi nancial instruments as at 1 October 2005
- Recognition of the fair value of derivatives relating to securitisation and structured fi nance transactions as at 1 October 2005
- Deferral of previously recognised fees now treated as an adjustment to yield on 1 October 2005
- Recalculation of the loan impairment provision on 1 October 2005 in line with change in policy as covered in note 1(xi).

5  ANZ has taken the option available under AASB 119 to recognise actuarial gains/losses on defi ned benefi t superannuation plans directly in retained profi ts (refer note 1(xx) and note 46).

a) Asset Revaluation Reserve
The asset revaluation reserve related to the revaluation of premises and equipment and investments in shares in controlled entities. The impact 
of adoption of AIFRS reset the asset revaluation reserve to nil.

b) Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
The translation reserve comprises exchange differences, net of hedges, arising on translation of the fi nancial statements of foreign operations, 
as described in note 1(iii). Refer note 51(v) for the impact of adopting AIFRS on the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign 
operation is sold, attributable exchange differences are recognised in the income statement.

c) Share Option Reserve
The share options reserve arises on the grant of share options to selected employees under the ANZ share option plan. Amounts are transferred 
out of the reserve and into share capital when the options are exercised. Refer to note 1(xx).

d) Available-for-sale Revaluation Reserve
Changes in the fair value and exchange differences on the revaluation of available-for-sale fi nancial assets are taken to the available-for-sale 
revaluation reserve. Where a revalued available-for-sale fi nancial asset is sold, that portion of the reserve which relates to that fi nancial asset, 
is realised and recognised in the income statement. Where the available-for-sale fi nancial asset is impaired, that portion of the reserve which 
relates to that asset is recognised in the income statement. Refer to note 1(ix).

e) Hedging Reserve
The hedging reserve represents hedging gains and losses recognised on the effective portion of cashfl ow hedges. The cumulative deferred gain 
or loss on the hedge is recognised in the income statement when the hedged transaction impacts the income statement. Refer to note 1(viii).

f) General Reserve and g) Capital Reserve 
The transfer of balances from the general and capital reserves to retained earnings represent items of a distributable nature.

33: Average Balance Sheet and Related Interest

Averages used in the following table are predominantly daily averages. Interest income fi gures are presented on a tax-equivalent basis. 
Impaired loans are included under the interest earning asset category ‘loans and advances’. Intragroup interest earning assets and interest 
bearing liabilities are treated as external assets and liabilities for the geographic segments. The data in the table below is not comparable as 
the 2005 comparatives have not been restated to refl ect the impact of AASB 132 – “Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosure” and 
AASB 139 – “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

35: Financial Risk Management

STRATEGY IN USING FINANCIAL 
INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are fundamental 
to the Group’s business, constituting the 
core element of its operations. The risks 
associated with fi nancial instruments 
are a signifi cant component of the risks 
faced by the Group. Financial instruments 
create, modify or reduce the credit, market 
(including traded or fair value risks and 
non-traded or interest and foreign currency 
related risks) and liquidity risks of the 
Group’s balance sheet. These risks and 
the Group’s policies and objectives for 
managing such risks are outlined below. 
The Group’s overall risk management 
programme focuses on the unpredictability 
of fi nancial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the fi nancial 
performance of the Group.

The Group uses derivative fi nancial 
instruments such as foreign exchange 
contracts, and interest rate contracts 
to hedge certain risk exposures. This is 
outlined in Note 12.

CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of fi nancial loss 
from counterparties being unable to fulfi l 
their contractual loan or credit equivalent 
obligations.

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. 

Credit Risk Management
This risk management framework exists 
across the Group with the aim of ensuring 
a structured and disciplined approach is 
maintained in achieving the objective set 
by the Board. The framework is top-down 
and focuses on policies, people, skills, 
vision, values, controls, concentrations and 
portfolio balance. It is supported by portfolio 
analysis and asset-writing strategies which 
assist asset-writing direction and identify 
areas requiring attention. The effectiveness 
of the framework is validated through 
a series of compliance and monitoring 
processes overseen within a risk committee 
structure.

All credit decisions greater than a 
predetermined amount require approval 
by both business writers and independent 
risk personnel.

The Group sets strict limits on the acceptable 
level of credit risk. Acceptance of credit risk 
is fi rstly based on a counterparty’s assessed 
capacity to meet contractual obligations, in 
particular interest and capital repayments. 
Obtaining collateral further supports this.

Credit Risk Measurement
The relative ‘Probability of Default’ (PD) for 
all counterparties is captured by the Group’s 
Credit Rating process, which assigns an 
internal risk rating to all borrowers and 
counterparties. The risk rating assessment 
utilises quantitative and independently 
validated measurement tools and each 
internal risk rating corresponds to the 
statistical probability of a customer (in that 
rating class) defaulting within the next 
12-month period. This is the foundation 
of the Group’s risk grade profi le.

The Group’s risk grade profi les are subject 
to change through new counterparty 
acquisitions and/or existing counterparty 
movements in either risk or volume. All 
counterparty risk grades are subject to 
frequent review, including statistical and 
behavioural reviews in consumer and 
small business segments and individual 
counterparty reviews in segments with larger 
single name borrowers.

Credit Risk Mitigation
The Credit Risk objectives of the Group 
are set by the Board and are strategically 
implemented and monitored within a tiered 
structure of delegated authority, designed 
to oversee multiple facets of credit risk, 
including asset writing strategies, credit 
policies/controls, single exposures, portfolio 
monitoring and risk concentrations. Credit 
Risk is mitigated by the independence 
of the Credit chain and is supported by 
comprehensive risk analysis, risk tools, 
monitoring processes and policies. 

Concentrations of credit risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a 
number of customers are engaged in similar 
business activities or activities within the 
same geographic region, or when they have 
similar risk characteristics that would cause 
their ability to meet contractual obligations 
to be similarly affected by changes in 
economic or other conditions.

The Group monitors its portfolio, largely 
comprising net loans and advances, 
customer’s liabilities for acceptances and 
available-for-sale loan assets, to assess risk 
concentrations. Concentration limits are 
used to guard against large single customer 
or correlated credit risks.

MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk to the Group’s earnings arising from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, credit spreads, or from 
fl uctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

Market risk management and control responsibilities
To facilitate the management, control, measurements and reporting of market risk, ANZ has grouped market risk into two broad categories:

a) Traded market risk:-
This is the risk of loss from changes in the value of fi nancial instruments due to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative 
trading positions. They arise in trading transactions where ANZ acts as principal with clients or with the market.

The principal risk categories monitored are:
  Currency risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the value of a fi nancial instrument due to changes in foreign exchange rates or 
their implied volatilities.
  Interest rate risk is the potential loss arising from the change in the value of a fi nancial instrument due to changes in market interest rates or 
their implied volatilities.
  Credit Spread risk is the potential loss arising from a decline in value of an instrument due to a deterioration in the credit worthiness of the 
issuer of the instrument.

b) Non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk):-
This embraces the management of non-traded interest rate risk, liquidity, and the risk to the AUD denominated value of the Group’s capital and 
earnings as a result of foreign exchange rate movements.

The Board of Directors through the Risk 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 Offi cer, is responsible for traded market risk, while the Group Asset and Liability Committee, chaired by the Chief Financial Offi cer, 
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. In addition, the Group Asset and Liability Committee delegates to the Credit and Trading Risk 
Committee responsibility for the monthly monitoring of non-traded market risk exposures. The Group Asset and Liability Committee reviews 
balance sheet based risk measures and strategies quarterly, or more frequently if required.

 53

Notes to the fi nancial statements

35: Financial Risk Management (continued)

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 confi dence 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% 
confi dence 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, it 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 market risk.

Traded and non-traded market risks are 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.

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 manage the market value of the Group’s capital. Liquidity risk is dealt with in the next section.

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 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 
succeeding 12 months. This is a standard risk quantifi cation tool.

The fi gures in the table below indicate the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous fi nancial 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 signifi es 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 quantifi es 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 refl ective of the actual interest rate sensitivity (for example, products priced at the Group’s 
discretion), a profi le 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 offi cial rate increase the 
Group does not reprice certain customer business until the fi rst repricing date after the offi cial 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 identifi ed. 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 
profi les.

Foreign Currency Related Risks
This risk relates to the potential loss arising from the decline in the value of foreign currency positions due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

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 refl ected in the foreign currency translation 
reserve.

The Group incurs some non-traded foreign currency risk related to the potential repatriation of profi ts from non-Australian business units. 
This risk is routinely monitored and hedging is conducted in accordance with policy and where it is likely to add shareholder value.

35: Financial Risk Management (continued)

LIQUIDITY RISK
The primary objective of the Group’s liquidity management framework and processes is to ensure that the Group has suffi cient liquidity to meet 
its obligations as they fall due across a wide range of operating circumstances.

The following key principles underpin the Group’s Board-approved liquidity management framework.
  The Group aims to adopt a conservative, low risk approach to liquidity management.
  The Group holds a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to buffer it against short term adverse conditions and to support day-to-day 
operations.
  Liquidity management reporting includes scenario analyses which quantify the Group’s forecast position under both normal and extreme, 
name-crisis conditions.
  The Group has detailed contingency plans in the event of a liquidity crisis.
  The Group targets a diversifi ed funding base, avoiding undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, source and currency.
  Minimum compositional requirements based on the liquidity term of the Group’s funding base are established and regularly monitored to 
ensure that the Group remains well positioned relative to the other major Australian trading banks.

Analysis of the Group’s liquidity position under differing scenarios is an important part of daily liquidity risk management. Future cashfl ows 
are projected under two scenarios: a) a short term crisis which assumes that a number of extreme liquidity events occur concurrently putting 
pressure on the Group’s ability to meet its obligations to depositors; and b) normal business conditions which projects cashfl ows on the basis 
that future business conditions will be much the same as now.

These cashfl ow projections make use of contractual liquidity information to which are applied assumptions about the likely behaviour of 
individual customer product classes under each scenario.

Maturity analysis of the Group’s assets and liabilities
The tables below analyse the Group’s assets and liabilities, as required by AASB 130 ‘Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and 
Similar Financial Institutions’, into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at balance sheet date to the contractual maturity

36: Interest Rate Risk 

The Group has an exposure to the effects of fl uctuations in market interest rates on both cashfl ow and fair value risks associated with its 
fi nancial assets and liabilities. Interest margins are impacted as a result of such changes and there are Group strategies in place to manage 
these risks.

The tables following summarises the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks as at 30 September 2006 and 30 September 2005.

The tables show the interest rate sensitivity (or repricing profi le) of the Group’s fi nancial assets and liabilities based on the earlier of contractual 
maturity or repricing.

Repricing gaps are based upon the earliest of contractual repricing or maturity dates information except where the contractual terms are not 
considered to be refl ective of actual interest rate sensitivity (eg. 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.

Repricing gaps arise 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 which have been approved by the Board. 

The majority of the Group’s loan/deposit business is conducted in the domestic balance sheets of Australia and New Zealand and is priced 
on a fl oating rate basis. The mix of repricing maturities in these books is infl uenced by the underlying fi nancial 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 refl ection of the positions in Australia and New Zealand.

In Australia and New Zealand, a combination of pricing initiatives and derivatives 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 profi le’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 
specifi ed by policy.

The objectives and policies in managing the interest risks are also covered under note 35 ‘Financial Risk Management’, under the heading 
‘Market risk’.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

37: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

AIFRS requires disclosure of the fair value of fi nancial instruments. The disclosures exclude all non-fi nancial instruments, such as income taxes 
and regulatory deposits. The aggregate 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.

Quoted market prices, where available, are used as the measure of fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values 
are based on present value estimates or other valuation techniques. For the majority of short-term fi nancial instruments, defi ned as those 
which reprice or mature in 90 days or less, with no signifi cant change in credit risk, the fair value was assumed to equate to the carrying amount 
in the Group’s balance sheet.

The fair values are based on relevant information available as at 30 September 2006. While judgement is used in obtaining the fair value of 
fi nancial instruments, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Many of the estimates involve uncertainties and matters of 
signifi cant judgement and changes in underlying assumptions could signifi cantly affect these estimates. Furthermore, market prices or rates 
of discount are not available for many of the fi nancial instruments valued and surrogates have been used which may not refl ect the price that 
would apply in an actual sale.

The fair value amounts have not been updated for the purposes of these fi nancial statements since 30 September 2006, and therefore the 
fair value of the fi nancial instruments subsequent to 30 September 2006 may be different from the amounts reported.

Financial assets have been classed into categories following the adoption of AIFRS on 1 October 2005, namely amortised cost, fi nancial 
assets at fair value through profi t and loss, and available-for-sale fi nancial assets. Similarly fi nancial liabilities have been classifi ed into two 
categories, namely amortised cost and fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t and loss.

The signifi cant accounting policies in note 1 describe how the categories of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are measured and how 
income and expenses, including fair value gains and losses, are recognised. The carrying amount and fair value (2005: net fair value) of the 
Group’s fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are set out below.

value differs from the amortised cost.

 59

PAYABLES AND OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
This category includes accrued interest and 
fees payable for which the carrying amount 
is considered to approximate the fair value.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As outlined in note 45, 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 (USED IN THE NET FAIR 
VALUE CALCULATION AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 
2005)
The fair value of fi nancial 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 
as at 30 September 2005 would not differ 
materially from fair values calculated in 
accordance with SFAS 107.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

37: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

LIQUID ASSETS AND DUE FROM/TO OTHER 
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The carrying values on these fi nancial 
instruments are considered to approximate 
their net fair values as they are short-term in 
nature or are receivable on demand.

TRADING SECURITIES
Trading securities are carried at fair 
value. Fair 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.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of derivative fi nancial 
instruments such as interest rate swaps 
and currency swaps are calculated using 
discounted cash fl ow 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 are valued 
using market prices and options valuation 
models as appropriate.

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE ASSETS AND 
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value is based on quoted market prices 
or broker or dealer price quotations. If this 
information is not available, fair value is 
estimated using quoted market prices for 
securities with similar credit, maturity and 
yield characteristics.

NET LOANS AND ADVANCES AND 
ACCEPTANCES 
The carrying value of loans and advances 
and acceptances includes deferred fees and 
expenses, and is net of provision for credit 
impairment and income yet to mature. The 
estimated fair value of loans, advances and 
acceptances is based on the discounted 
amount of estimated future cash fl ows 
and accordingly has not been adjusted for 
provision for credit impairment.

Estimated contractual cash fl ows for 
performing loans are discounted at 
estimated current bank credit spreads to 
determine fair value. 

For loans with doubt as to collection, 
expected cash fl ows (inclusive of the 
value of security) are discounted using 
a rate, which includes a premium for the 
uncertainty of the fl ows.

The difference between estimated fair values 
for loans and advances and acceptances 
and their carrying value refl ects changes in 
interest rates and the credit worthiness of 
borrowers since loan origination.

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.

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS
Included in this category are accrued interest 
and fees receivable. 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.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWINGS
The fair value of a deposit liability without 
a specifi ed maturity or at call is deemed 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 fi xed 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 fl ows.

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

43: Fiduciary Activities

The Group conducts various fi duciary activities as follows:

Investment fi duciary activities for trusts
The Group conducts investment fi duciary 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 suffi cient 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 fi nancial statements.

The aggregate amounts of funds concerned are as follows:

Funds management activities
Funds management activities are conducted through the ING Australia Limited and ING (NZ) Holdings Limited Joint Ventures. As stated in note 
1 (ii), shares in joint venture entities are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group’s share of post acquisition earnings. 
Funds under management on behalf of customers are not consolidated.

As at 30 September 2006, the ING Australia Limited Joint Venture had funds under management of $42,783 million (30 September 2005: 
$34,569 million), the ING (NZ) Holdings Limited Joint Venture had funds under management of $7,256 million (30 September 2005: $6,839 
million) and certain subsidiaries of ANZ National Bank Limited had funds under management of $3,721 million (30 September 2005: $3,371 
million).

Custodian services activities
Custodian services are conducted through ANZ Custodian Services. ANZ Custodian Services holds investment assets under custody on behalf 
of external customers and as a consequence the assets are not consolidated in the Group’s accounts. As at 30 September 2006, ANZ Custodian 
Services had funds under custody of $120.2 billion (30 September 2005: $98.3 billion).

1  The credit risk of the undrawn facilities may be less than the contract amount, however the credit risk has been taken to be the contract amount. The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to 
customers maintaining specifi c 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 below relates to customer contingent liabilities, ie direct credit substitutes and trade and performance related items. 

Guarantees, Standby letters of credit, Bill endorsements and Other are classifi ed 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 fi nancial 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 confi rmatory letter of credit from another bank.

Performance related contingencies are liabilities that oblige the Group to make payments to a third party should the customer fail to fulfi l 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 refl ect future cash requirements.

The credit risk of these facilities may be less than the contract amount, however the credit risk has been taken to be the contract amount.

ASSETS PLEDGED AS SECURITY AND SECURED LIABILITIES
Assets are pledged as collateral:
  mandatory reserve deposits held with local central banks in accordance with statutory requirements. These deposits are not available to 
fi nance the Group’s day to day operations; and 
  in relation to debenture undertakings covering the assets of Esanda and its subsidiaries and UDC Finance Limited. The debenture stock of 
Esanda and its subsidiaries and UDC Finance Limited is secured by a trust deed and collateral debentures, giving fl oating charges upon the 
undertaking of all the assets of the entity, other than land and buildings. All controlled entities of Esanda and UDC Finance Limited have 
guaranteed the payment of principal, interest and other monies in relation to all debenture stock and unsecured notes issued by Esanda and 
UDC Finance Limited respectively. Note that the only loans pledged are those in Esanda and UDC Finance Limited.

The value of assets pledged as security is as follows:

Notes to the fi nancial statements

45: Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Credit Related Commitments (continued)

OTHER BANK RELATED CONTINGENT 
LIABILITIES
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:
  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 comply 
with rules which could result in a bilateral 
exposure and loss in the event of a failure 
to settle by a member institution; and
  in the Austraclear System Regulations 
and the CLS Bank International Rules, 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 certifi ed 
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 2005 
subjected to client risk reviews by the 
Australian Taxation Offi ce (ATO) across a 
broad spectrum of matters, as part of normal 
ATO procedures. The reviews mainly covered 
years up to 2003. Some matters listed by 
the ATO for further investigation remain 
outstanding.

The ATO is also reviewing the taxation 
treatment of certain other transactions, 
including legacy structured fi nance 
transactions, undertaken by the Group in the 
course of normal business activities.

The ATO’s review of the sale of Grindlays 
in 2000 and of the transfer of the life and 
funds management businesses into the 
joint venture with ING Australia in 2002 was 
fi nalised during the year.

The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) in New 
Zealand is reviewing a number of conduit-
relieved structured fi nance transactions 
as part of normal revenue authority audit 
procedures. This is part of an industry-wide 
review by the IRD of these transactions 
undertaken in New Zealand. The IRD has 
issued Notices of Proposed Adjustment 
(the ‘Notices’) in respect of some of those 
structured fi nance transactions. The 
Notices are not tax assessments and do not 
establish a tax liability, but are the fi rst step 
in a formal dispute 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 refl ected in the Notices and in the 
tax assessments received, the maximum 
potential tax liability would be approximately 
NZD469 million (including interest tax 
effected) for the period to 30 September 
2006. Of that maximum potential liability, 
approximately NZD133 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. All of these conduit-
relieved transactions have now been either 
matured or been terminated.

Additional or issue-specifi c audits and other 
investigations are being undertaken by the 
New Zealand IRD, and 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 considers that it holds appropriate 
provisions.

v) Sale of Grindlays businesses
On 31 July 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 
was 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 may 
be held liable in relation to the following:

FERA
In 1991 certain amounts were transferred 
from non-convertible Indian Rupee accounts 
maintained with Grindlays in India. 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 
offi cers in India that could lead to possible 
penalties. Criminal prosecutions have also 
been foreshadowed and, in the case of two 
former offi cers and the bank, commenced. 
Grindlays is contesting the validity of these 
prosecutions.

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. These orders had directed 
repayment of Indian Rupees 24 million (plus 
interest accruing at 24% since 1991). Since 
the appeal decision was handed down, 
no further action has been taken against 
Grindlays in relation to notices in respect 
of a further eleven payments received by it 
in 1991 in similar circumstances totalling 
Indian Rupees 225 million.

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) Deed of Cross Guarantee in respect of certain controlled entities
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 fi nancial statements. The results of these 
companies are included in the consolidated Group results. The entities to which relief was granted are:

  ANZ Properties (Australia) Pty Ltd1
  ANZ Capital Hedging Pty Ltd1
  Alliance Holdings Pty Ltd1

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

  ANZ Orchard Investments Pty Ltd2
  ANZ Securities (Holdings) Limited3

  ANZ Funds Pty Ltd1
  Votraint No. 1103 Pty Ltd2

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 executed by them and lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The Deed 
of Cross Guarantee is dated 1 March 2006. 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. If a winding up occurs, 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 fi nancial performance and consolidated statement of 
fi nancial position of the Company and its wholly owned controlled entities which have entered into the Deed of Cross Guarantee are:

1   The Companies included in the class order changed in 2006, accordingly retained profi ts did not carry forward in 2006.
2  Shareholders’ equity excludes retained profi ts and reserves of controlled entities within the class order.

Pursuant to a Revocation Deed dated 1 March 2006, earlier Deeds of Cross Guarantee dated 9 September 2003 and 21 August 2005, to which 
the Company and certain wholly-owned controlled entities were parties, have been revoked. The revocation became effective on 1 September 
2006. The controlled entities in respect of which this revocation was effective are the controlled entities (listed above) that are parties to the 
Deed of Cross Guarantee dated 1 March 2006, and the following additional controlled entities:

  ANZ Infrastructure Investments Limited 

  ES & A Holdings Pty Ltd

  ANZ Nominees Limited  

  Jikk Pty Ltd

Because these last four controlled entities were not parties to a Deed of Cross Guarantee as at 30 September 2006, they are ineligible for the 
relief under the class order.

vii) Commercial paper notes
The Company has guaranteed payment 
on maturity of the principal and accrued 
interest of commercial paper notes issued by 
ANZ (Delaware) Inc. of $6,667 million as at 
30 September 2006 (2005: $6,400 million).

viii) Underpinning agreement – ANZ 
National Bank Limited 
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) Underpinning agreement – Australia 
and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) 
Limited 
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.

GENERAL
There are outstanding court proceedings, 
claims and possible claims against the 
Group, the aggregate amount of which 
cannot readily be quantifi ed. 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 $405 million 
(2005: $233 million).

CONTINGENT ASSETS
National Housing Bank
In 1992, Grindlays received a claim 
aggregating to 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 fi led 
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 ($661 
million at 19 January 2002 exchange rates), 
with Grindlays receiving Indian Rupees 6.20 
billion ($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 has pursued two separate actions 
arising from the above.

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

ANZ settled the claim for $114 million which 
has been recognised in these accounts, 
less an amount of $1 million which was 
recognised in the accounts at 30 September 
2005.

(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. 
Proceedings are currently on foot in the 
Special Court, Mumbai to determine these 
issues.

Harris Scarfe
The Receiver and Manager of Harris Scarfe 
Limited (HSL) and related companies, 
together with ANZ, have initiated 
proceedings in the Supreme Court of South 
Australia to recover damages for breach of 
contract, negligence and statutory causes 
of action against the former auditors of HSL. 
These proceedings are continuing. It is not 
practicable to reliably estimate the fi nancial 
effect of these proceedings.

Funding and contribution information for the defi ned benefi t sections of the schemes
The funding and contribution information for the defi ned benefi t sections of the schemes as extracted from the schemes’ most recent fi nancial 
reports are set out below. 

In this fi nancial report, the net (liability)/asset arising from the defi ned benefi t obligation recognised in the balance sheet has been determined 
in accordance with AASB 119 “Employee Benefi ts”. However, the excess or defi cit of the net market value of assets over accrued benefi ts 
shown below has been determined in accordance with AAS 25 ‘Financial Reporting by Superannuation Plans’. The excess or defi cit for funding 
purposes below differs from the net (liability)/asset in the balance sheet because AAS 25 prescribes a different measurement date and basis 
to those used for AASB 119 purposes.

Employer contributions to the defi ned benefi t sections are based on recommendations by the schemes’ actuaries. Funding recommendations 
are made by the actuaries based on assumptions of various matters such as future investment performance, interest rates, salary increases, 
mortality rates and turnover levels. The funding methods adopted by the actuaries are intended to ensure that the benefi t entitlements of 
employees are fully funded by the time they become payable.

The Group expects to make contributions of $45 million to the defi ned benefi t sections of the schemes during the next fi nancial year.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

46: Superannuation and Other Post Employment Benefi t Schemes (continued)

The current contribution recommendations for the major defi ned sections of the schemes are described below.

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 
consulting actuaries Russell Employee Benefi ts as at 31 December 2004 showed a defi cit of $5 million and the actuary recommended that 
Group contributions to the Pension Section remain suspended. An interim actuarial valuation conducted as at 31 December 2005 showed a 
defi cit of $4 million and the expectation is that this defi cit has remained materially unchanged since that date. The next full actuarial valuation 
is due to be conducted as at 31 December 2007, at which time the funding position will be reassessed.

The following economic assumptions were used in formulating the actuary’s funding recommendations:

Rate of investment return
Pension indexation rate

8% p.a.
3% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to commence contributions or fund the defi cit. 

ANZ UK Staff Pension Scheme
A full actuarial valuation, conducted by consulting actuaries Watson Wyatt LLP, as at 31 December 2005 showed a defi cit of GBP 100 million 
($252 million at 30 September 2006 exchange rates).

Following the actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2005, the Group agreed to make regular contributions at the rate of 26% of pensionable 
salaries. These contributions are suffi cient to cover the cost of accruing benefi ts. To address the defi cit, the Group also agreed to pay additional 
quarterly contributions of GBP 3.5 million until 31 December 2015. These contributions will be reviewed at the next actuarial valuation which is 
scheduled to be undertaken as at 31 December 2007.

The following economic assumptions were used in formulating the actuary’s funding recommendations:

Rate of investment return on existing assets
Rate of investment return for determining ongoing contributions
Salary increases
Pension increases

4.75% p.a.
6.6% p.a.
4.6% p.a.
2.8% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to fund the defi cit measured under AAS 25. A contingent liability may arise 
if the Scheme was wound up. If this were to happen, the Trustee would be able to pursue the Group for additional contributions under the UK 
Employer Debt Regulations. The Group intends to continue the Scheme on an on-going basis.

On adoption of AIFRS, a net liability representing the defi ned benefi t obligation calculated under AASB 119 was recognised on the balance 
sheet. The basis of calculation under AASB 119 is detailed in note 1(xx).

National Bank Staff Superannuation Fund
A full actuarial valuation of the National Bank Staff Superannuation Fund, conducted by consulting actuaries AON Consulting NZ, as at 31 March 
2006 showed a defi cit of NZD5 million ($4 million at 30 September 2006 exchange rates). The actuary recommended that the Group make 
contributions of 24.7% of salaries in respect of members of the defi ned benefi t section. 

The following economic assumptions were used in formulating the actuary’s funding recommendations:

Rate of investment return (net of income tax)
Salary increases
Pension increases

5.5% p.a.
3.0% p.a.
2.5% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to fund the defi cit measured under AAS 25. A contingent liability may arise if 
the Scheme was wound up. Under the Fund’s Trust Deed, if the Fund were wound up, the Group is required to pay the Trustees of the Scheme 
an amount suffi cient to ensure members do not suffer a reduction in benefi ts to which they would otherwise be entitled. The Group intends to 
continue the Scheme on an on-going basis.

On adoption of AIFRS, a net asset representing the defi ned benefi t surplus calculated under AASB 119 was recognised on the balance sheet. 
The basis of calculation under AASB 119 is detailed in Note 1(xx).

To determine the expected returns of each of the asset classes held by the relevant scheme, the directors assessed historical return trends and 
market expectations for the asset classes. The overall expected rate of return on assets for each scheme is determined as the weighted average 
of the expected returns for the asset classes.

Assumed medical cost trend rates do not have a material effect on the amounts recognised as income or included in the balance sheet.

47: Employee Share and Option Plans

ANZ operates a number of employee share 
and option schemes which operate under 
the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan 
and the ANZ Share Option Plan.

ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE ACQUISITION PLAN
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan (ESAP) 
schemes that existed during the 2005 
and 2006 fi nancial years were the $1,000 
Share Plan, the Restricted Share Plan, the 
Deferred Share Plan, the Performance Share 
Plan and the Employee Share Save Scheme 
(ESSS). Note the ESSS is an employee 
salary sacrifi ce plan and is not captured as 
an expense in the share based payment 
expense model.

$1,000 share plan
Each permanent employee (excluding senior 
executives) who has had continuous service 
for one year is eligible to participate in the 
$1,000 scheme enabling the grant of up 
to $1,000 of ANZ shares in each fi nancial 
year, subject to ANZ’s performance and the 
approval of the Board. At a date approved 
by the Board, the shares will be granted to 
all eligible employees using the fi ve-day 
weighted average price of ANZ shares traded 
on the ASX in the fi ve trading days leading 
up to and including the date of grant.

In Australia and most overseas locations, 
shares are granted to eligible employees 
for nil consideration and vest immediately 
when granted, as there is no forfeiture 
provision. It is a requirement, however, 
that shares are held in trust for three years 
from the date of grant, after which time 
they may remain in trust, be transferred to 
the employee’s name or sold. In general, 
dividends received on the shares are 
automatically reinvested into the Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan.

Shares granted to eligible New Zealand 
employees under this plan vest subject 
to the satisfaction of a three year service 
period, after which time they may remain 
in trust, be transferred into the employee’s 
name or sold. At the time of transfer, 
employees are required to pay NZD 
1 cent per share. Shares may be forfeited 
in the event of dismissal for serious 
misconduct or resignation. Dividends are 
received as cash.

During the 2006 year, 1,012,008 shares 
with an issue price of $23.81 were granted 
under the plan to employees on 5 December 
2005. (2005 year: 1,151,157 shares with 
an issue price of $20.03 were granted on 
8 December 2004).

Deferred share plan
Selected employees may also be granted 
long term incentive (LTI) deferred shares 
which vest to the employee up to three 
years from the date of grant. Ordinary 
shares granted under this LTI plan may be 
held in trust beyond the deferral period. 
Unvested LTI deferred shares are forfeited 
on resignation, dismissal for serious 
misconduct or termination on notice. In 
case of redundancy, unvested LTI deferred 
shares will be pro-rated, and in the event of 
death or total and permanent disablement, 
all shares will be released to the employee 
in full. 

Short-term incentive (STI) three year 
deferred shares were granted under a 
historical ANZ STI program, and may be held 
in trust beyond the deferral period. The last 
grant of three year STI deferred shares was 
made on 11 May 2004 (with the vesting 
date being 11 May 2007). There were no 3 
year STI deferred share grants in the 2005 
or 2006 fi nancial years. STI deferred shares 
with a one to two year deferral period are 
still granted under business unit specifi c 
incentive plans (primarily as a retention 
tool), and may be held in trust beyond the 
deferral period. The deferral period will vary 
according to bonus plan rules. Unvested 
STI deferred shares are only forfeited 
on resignation or dismissal for serious 
misconduct.

The employee receives all dividends on LTI 
and STI deferred shares while held in trust 
(cash or dividend reinvestment plan). The 
issue price for LTI and STI deferred shares is 
based on the volume weighted average price 
of the shares traded on the ASX in the fi ve 
trading days leading up to and including the 
date of grant.

During the 2006 year, 269,032 deferred 
shares (STI and LTI) with a weighted average 
grant price of $23.68 were granted under 
the deferred share plan (2005 year: 517,352 
shares with a weighted average grant price 
of $20.76 were granted).

Restricted share plan
Management level employees and above 
may elect a pre-tax sacrifi ce of part or all of 
their annual cash bonus for ANZ shares. The 
shares are subject to a 12 month restriction 
period, however, they may be left in trust 
beyond the restriction period. The shares 
are subject to forfeiture on dismissal for 
serious misconduct. The shares are released 
to the employee on termination for any other 
reason. The employee receives all dividends 

80  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

on restricted shares (cash or dividend 
reinvestment plan). The issue price is based 
on the volume weighted average price of the 
shares traded on the ASX on the fi ve trading 
days leading up to and including the date 
of grant.

During the 2006 year, 401,575 shares 
with an issue price of $23.49 were granted 
under the Restricted Share Plan (2005 
year: 137,909 shares with an issue price 
of $20.68 were granted).

Performance share plan
Performance shares are essentially LTI 
deferred shares with a performance hurdle. 
They were granted to i) a small number of 
US based employees on 7 November 2005 
to accommodate local taxation laws, and ii) 
to the CEO on 31 December 2004 (as per his 
employment contract). 

The proportion of performance shares that 
vest will depend upon the total shareholder 
return (TSR) achieved by ANZ relative to 
a comparator group of major fi nancial 
services companies. Performance equal to 
the median TSR of the comparator group 
will result in half the performance shares 
vesting. Vesting will increase on a straight-
line basis until all of the performance shares 
vest where ANZ TSR is at or above the 75th 
percentile of TSRs in the comparator group. 
Where ANZ’s performance falls between two 
of the comparators, TSR is measured on a 
pro-rata basis. 

The CEO was granted performance shares to 
be held in trust for two years from the date 
of grant. The shares will vest two years after 
the date of grant subject to the achievement 
of the performance hurdle. The hurdle will 
be tested monthly at the end of the two year 
restriction period. Monthly retesting will 
continue until all performance shares have 
vested or until 5 years after the grant date. In 
the event of resignation not approved by the 
Board or dismissal for serious misconduct, 
all performance shares will be forfeited. 
No dividends will be payable on the shares 
until they vest. 175,000 shares with an 
issue price of $15.02 were granted (on 31 
December 2004).

Notes to the fi nancial statements

47: Employee Share and Option Plans (continued)

Share valuations
The fair value of shares granted in the 2006 year under the $1,000 share plan, the deferred share plan and the restricted share plan, measured 
as at the date of grant of the shares, is $40m based on 1,682,615 shares at a weighted average price of $23.66 (2005 year: fair value of shares 
granted is $37m based on 1,806,418 shares at a weighted average price of $20.30). The volume weighted average share price of all ANZ shares 
sold on the Australian Stock Exchange on the date of grant is used to calculate the fair value of shares. No dividends are incorporated into the 
measurement of the fair value of shares.

A range of outcomes is possible given the uncertainty and assumptions in relation to share valuation. In determining the fair value below, ANZ  
used standard market techniques for valuation including Monte Carlo and/or Binomial pricing models. The models take into account early 
exercise, non-transferability and performance hurdles.

The signifi cant assumptions used to measure the fair value of performance shares granted during the 2006 and 2005 fi nancial years are 
contained in the table below.

1  Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fl uctuate over the life of the plan. 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 defi ned 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.
In terms of factoring in early exercise, the model assumes that the recipient will exercise at the time the options vest.

ANZ SHARE OPTION PLAN
Selected employees may be granted options / rights, which entitle them to purchase ordinary fully paid shares in ANZ at a price fi xed at the 
time when the options / rights are granted (with the exception of index-linked options). Voting and dividend rights will be attached to the 
unissued ordinary shares when the options / rights have been exercised. Each option / right entitles the holder to one ordinary share subject to 
the terms and conditions imposed on grant. The exercise price of the options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan, is generally 
based on the weighted average price of the shares traded in the fi ve business days up to and including the date of grant. For zero priced options 
and performance rights, the exercise price is nil. Index-linked options have a dynamic exercise price that is adjusted in line with the movement 
in the S&P/ASX 200 Banks (Industry Group) Accumulation Index (excluding ANZ).

ANZ Share Option Plan schemes expensed in the 2005 and 2006 years are as follows:

Current Option Plans

Performance rights plan (Hurdle H)
Performance rights are granted to certain employees as part of ANZ’s current long-term incentive (LTI) program. The fi rst grant of performance 
rights was in November 2005, and provides the right to acquire ANZ shares at nil cost, subject to a three-year vesting period and a Total 
Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle. The proportion of LTI performance rights that become exercisable will depend upon the TSR 
achieved by ANZ relative to a comparator group of major fi nancial services companies, measured over the same period (since grant) and 
calculated at the third anniversary of grant. Performance equal to the median TSR of the comparator group will result in half the performance 
rights becoming exercisable. Vesting will increase on a straight-line basis until all of the performance rights become exercisable where ANZ 
TSR is at or above the 75th percentile of TSRs in the comparator group. Where ANZ’s performance falls between two of the comparators, TSR is 
measured on a pro-rata basis. The performance hurdle will only be tested once at the end of the three year vesting period. If the performance 
rights do not pass the hurdle on the testing date, or they are not exercised by the end of the exercise period (5 years from the date of grant), 
they will lapse. In the case of dismissal for serious misconduct, all unexercised performance rights will be forfeited. In the case of resignation 
or termination on notice, only performance rights that become exercisable (and pass the performance hurdle) by the end of the notice period 
may be exercised. In the 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. In the case of death or total and permanent disablement, 
all performance rights are available for exercise (with the performance hurdle waived). 

Deferred share rights 
(DSR2: No performance hurdles)
Deferred Share Rights are granted instead of deferred shares to accommodate off-shore taxation implications. They provide the right to acquire 
ANZ shares at nil cost after a specifi ed vesting period. For STI rights granted in November 2005 (relating to a business unit incentive plan), 
the vesting period was one year. These rights must be exercised by the seventh anniversary of the grant date. In the case of resignation, only 
rights that become exercisable by the end of the notice period may be exercised. All other rights will lapse. In the case of termination on notice, 
retrenchment, retirement, death or total and permanent disablement, all rights will be available for exercise. The fair value of rights is adjusted 
for the absence of dividends during the restriction period.

47: Employee Share and Option Plans (continued)

Legacy Option Plans
The following legacy plans are no longer 
being offered to Group employees, but were 
expensed during the 2005 and 2006 years.

Performance options plan 
(Hurdle N: No performance hurdle applies)
Performance options were granted to certain 
employees (below executive levels) as part 
of a historical LTI program. Performance 
options are no longer part of ANZ’s current 
equity strategy, with 7 November 2005 
being the last grant of performance options. 
The options can only be exercised after a 
three-year vesting period and before the 
seventh anniversary of the grant date. There 
are no performance conditions attached 
to these options as they were primarily 
granted as a retention tool. All unexercised 
options are forfeited on dismissal for serious 
misconduct, resignation and termination 
on notice. On retrenchment, entitlements 
to options will be pro-rated over the three-
year vesting period. On death or total and 
permanent disablement, all unvested 
options will become available for exercise. 

Zero-price options (ZPOs)
A ZPO is a right to acquire an ANZ share 
at nil cost. ZPOs were granted to Sir John 
Anderson (former CEO of ANZ National 
Bank Limited NZ) as part of his employment 
contract (refer to Remuneration Report in 
the Concise Annual Report 2006 / Part 2 of 
2 for further details). The ZPOs had no time 
based vesting criteria, so were able to be 
exercised at any time during his employment 
and within six months of termination of his 
employment. 

Deferred share rights 
(DSR: No performance hurdle)
Special Deferred Share Rights were 
granted to a small number of New Zealand 
employees in December 2004. They provide 
the right to acquire ANZ shares at nil cost 
after a three year vesting period. Rights must 
be exercised by the seventh anniversary 
of the grant date. They may be forfeited at 
the Company’s discretion if the employee 
ceases employment for any reason. The fair 
value of rights is adjusted for the absence of 
dividends during the restriction period.

Hurdled Options (Hurdles B, C & G)
Hurdled options were granted to certain 
employees as part of an historical LTI 
program. The options can only be exercised 
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 grant date, subject to meeting 
the relevant performance hurdle. The 
performance hurdle will be measured during 
the exercise period by comparing ANZ’s Total 
Shareholder Return (ANZ’s TSR) against the 
comparator group relevant to the hurdled 
option grant. 

Hurdle G: Hurdled options granted in 
November 2004 will be tested against 
a comparator group consisting of major 
fi nancial services companies, excluding 
ANZ. 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). 

Hurdles B & C: These hurdled option grants 
will be measured against the S&P/ASX 200 
Banks Accumulation Index, and with the 
S&P / ASX 100 Accumulation Index. 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 grant) and calculated as 
at the last trading day of any month (once 
the exercise period has commenced); and 
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 grant) and calculated as 
at the last trading day of any month (once 
the exercise period has commenced). The 
forfeiture provisions are the same as the 
performance option plan.

Index Linked Options (Hurdle D)
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) since 
the grant date. As an additional constraint, 
the adjusted exercise price can only be set 
at or above the original exercise price. Index 
linked options are exercisable between the 
3rd and 7th year after grant date, subject 
to the adjusted exercise price being above 
the prevailing share price. Unexercised 
options are forfeited on dismissal for serious 
misconduct, resignation and termination on 
notice. On retrenchment, and death or total 
and permanent disablement, entitlements to 
options will be pro-rated over the three-year 
vesting period. 

CEO Options (Hurdles E & F)
Options were granted to the CEO as per his 
employment contract and were approved 
by shareholders at the December 1999 and 
December 2001 Annual General Meetings. 
Refer to Remuneration Report in the Concise 
Annual Report 2006 / Part 2 of 2 for further 
details. In the event of termination on notice 
or agreed separation, all vested options 
must be exercised within 6 months of the 
termination or agreed separation date, 
subject to meeting the relevant performance 
hurdles. 

Hurdle E: 500,000 of the options granted 
to the CEO in 2001 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 ASX 100 
Accumulation Index calculated over the 
same period. 

Hurdle F: 500,000 of the options granted to 
the CEO in 2001 may be exercised subject to 
the following: 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 the 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. In the event 
of resignation not approved by the Board 
or dismissal for serious misconduct, all 
unexercised options will be forfeited.

A range of outcomes is possible given the uncertainty and assumptions in relation to option valuation. In determining the fair value below, 
we used standard market techniques for valuation including Monte Carlo and/or Binomial pricing models were used. The models take into 
account early exercise, non-transferability and performance hurdles.

1  To allow for maturity/marketability a 10% pa turnover rate (post vesting) has been assumed, as well as that option holders will exercise their options if the share price is greater than twice the 

exercise price.

2  This number includes an additional 59,400 Rights allocated in May 2006, with the same terms and conditions as the 18 November 2005 grant.
3  Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fl uctuate 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 defi ned 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.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

51: Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS)

The Company and the Group implemented 
accounting policies in accordance with 
Australian Equivalents to International 
Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) on 
1 October 2004, except for those relating 
to fi nancial instruments and insurance 
contracts, which were implemented 
on 1 October 2005.

The transition was accounted for in 
accordance with Accounting Standard 
AASB 1: ‘First time adoption of Australian 
Equivalents to International Financial 
Reporting Standards’.

The impacts set out below are separated 
between those applicable from 1 October 
2004 (and impacting the comparative 
periods) and those applicable from 1 
October 2005. All amounts are stated on a 
before tax basis, unless otherwise noted. 
The reconciliation tables set out in pages 94 
to 107 reconcile previous AGAAP to AIFRS 
and cross reference to the notes below.

AIFRS adjustments with effect 
from 1 October 2004

(i) Goodwill
Initial reduction in retained earnings. 
Potential volatility in future earnings.
The adoption of AIFRS reduced the carrying 
amount of goodwill by $5 million (Company: 
$6 million) at 1 October 2004 (refer Table 1) 
and $15 million (Company: $15 million) at 
1 October 2005 (refer Table 4) related to the 
acquisition of assets and liabilities that did 
not meet the AIFRS defi nition of a business 
combination. The Group elected not to 
restate the classifi cation and accounting 
treatment of past business combinations 
that occurred prior to 1 October 2004.

Under AIFRS, the past practice of 
systematically amortising goodwill over the 
expected period of benefi t ceased and was 
replaced by impairment testing annually or 
more frequently if events or circumstances 
indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

This change in accounting policy resulted in:

  a decrease in the amortisation expense 
of $224 million (Company: $8 million) for 
the year to 30 September 2005, including 
notional INGA and associates’ goodwill 
of $45 million (Company: nil) (refer 
Table 2); and
  a corresponding increase in the carrying 
value of goodwill, associates and joint 
venture entities (refer Table 3).

(ii) Defi ned benefi t superannuation schemes
Initial reduction in retained earnings. Actuarial 
movements recognised in retained earnings. 
Immaterial impact on net profi t. 
On adoption of AASB 119: ‘Employee 
Benefi ts’, surpluses (assets) and/or defi cits 
(liabilities) that arise within defi ned benefi t 
superannuation schemes are recognised on 
the Balance Sheet.

Under previous AGAAP, the Group 
accounted for the defi ned benefi t 
superannuation schemes on a cash basis 
and did not recognise an asset or liability 
for the net position of the defi ned benefi t 
superannuation schemes.

The Group elected to apply the option 
available under AASB 119 to recognise 
actuarial gains and losses in the Balance 
Sheet (i.e. the ‘direct to retained earnings’ 
approach). The non-cash expense refl ecting 
the notional cost of the benefi ts accruing to 
members of the defi ned benefi t schemes 
in respect of service provided over the 
reporting period is charged to the Income 
Statement. All transitional adjustments 
were, and ongoing movements reported for 
each scheme are, actuarially determined in 
accordance with AASB 119. Contributions to 
the schemes are made in accordance with 
the governing rules of the relevant schemes 
and there is no present liability to fund any 
defi cits.

At 1 October 2004, the Group recognised 
a liability of $200 million (Company: $200 
million), an asset of $2 million (Company: 
nil), and a deferred tax asset of $57 million 
(Company: $57 million), resulting in a $141 
million (Company: $143 million) decrease 
in retained earnings (refer Table 1).

For the AIFRS comparative year ended 30 
September 2005, the Group recognised 
a decrease in the liability of $34 million 
(Company: $37 million) and an increase 
in the asset of $6 million (Company: nil) 
largely representing an actuarial gain and 
a deferred tax adjustment of $16 million 
(Company: $13 million). The actuarial gain 
of $25 million (Company: $23 million) after 
tax was adjusted against retained earnings 
(refer Table 3).

(iii) Share based payments
Initial reduction in shareholders’ equity. 
Higher ongoing expenses.
Under previous AGAAP, the Group 
recognised an expense equal to the full fair 
value of all deferred shares issued as part 
of the short term and long term incentive 

90  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

arrangements. The deferred shares vest 
over one to three years and may be forfeited 
under certain conditions. The Group did not 
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 
recognised an expense for all share based 
remuneration, including deferred shares 
and options, and recognises this expense 
over the relevant vesting period.

The Group 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 resulted in:

  the establishment of a share options 
reserve of $44 million (Company: $44 
million) to refl ect the fair value of options 
granted to employees;
  a reduction in paid up capital of 
$64 million (Company: $64 million) 
representing the fair value of unvested 
shares;
  recognition of a deferred tax liability of 
$24 million (Company: $21 million); 
  recognition of an amount due from 
controlled entities of nil (Company: 
$2 million); and

  a net decrease to retained earnings of $4 
million after tax (Company: net increase 
of $1 million after tax) (refer Table 1).

For the AIFRS comparative year ended 
30 September 2005, the impact of the 
change was:

  an increase in the share options reserve 
of $23 million (Company: $23 million);
  an increase in paid up capital of $41 
million (Company: $41 million);
  an accrual for $1,000 shares of $16 
million (Company: $16 million);
  a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of 
$12 million (Company: $12 million) and 
an increase in deferred tax assets of $5 
million (Company: $5 million); 
  an increase in amounts due from 
controlled entities of nil (Company: 
$2 million); and
  a decrease in profi t before tax of $80 
million (Company: $78 million) (refer 
Tables 2 and 3).

Notes to the fi nancial statements

51: Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) (continued)

The Company’s asset revaluation reserve 
at 30 September 2004 under previous 
AGAAP of $415 million consisted of $31 
million related to the revaluation of land 
and buildings and $384 million related to 
the revaluation of investments in controlled 
entities. The Company has elected to 
recognise the value of land and buildings 
at deemed cost and the $31 million asset 
revaluation reserve was reset to zero as at 
1 October 2004 and adjusted against 
retained earnings.

The Company has under AASB 127: 
‘Consolidated and Separate Financial 
Statements’, accounted for its investment 
in controlled entities at cost. On transition 
this involved the reversal of revaluations 
under previous AGAAP and a review for 
impairment. As a result, the $384 million 
asset revaluation reserve was reset to zero 
as at 1 October 2004 and adjusted by 
decreasing investments in controlled entities 
by $457 million and decreasing retained 
earnings by $73 million (refer Table 1).

(vii) Taxation
Change in methodology. Immaterial impacts.
Under AASB 112: ‘Income Taxes’, a balance 
sheet method of tax effect accounting 
has been adopted, replacing the income 
statement approach previously used by the 
Group.

Income tax expense comprises current and 
deferred taxes, with income tax expense 
recognised in the Income Statement, 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 fi nancial reporting 
purposes and the tax base of those assets 
and liabilities as used for taxation purposes.

At 1 October 2004, a reduction to deferred 
tax liabilities of $18 million (Company: 
$7 million) was recognised with a 
corresponding increase of $16 million 
(Company: $5 million) to retained earnings 
and an increase to share capital of $2 
million (Company: $2 million) representing 
share issue costs previously offset against 
share capital (refer Table 1).

(viii) Software reclassifi cation
Reclassifi cation only.
On transition to AIFRS, capitalised software 
assets were reclassifi ed from premises 
and equipment to a separately identifi able 
intangible asset. This resulted in a 
reclassifi cation of $435 million (Company: 
$380 million) as at 1 October 2004 (refer 
Table 1). The amount reclassifi ed decreased 
by $48 million (Company: $26 million) 
as at 30 September 2005 (refer Table 3).

(ix) Derivatives reclassifi cation
Reclassifi cation only.
At 1 October 2004, there was a 
reclassifi cation of $4.5 billion (Company: 
$3.7 billion) from other assets and $5.7 
billion (Company: $3.9 billion) from 
payables and other liabilities, to the new 
AIFRS Balance Sheet line items of derivative 
fi nancial assets and derivative fi nancial 
liabilities respectively (refer Table 1). 

(x) Other
The comparative AIFRS year ended 30 
September 2005 Income Statement contains 
minor leasing and tax remeasurement 
adjustments together with the impact of 
securitisation and defi ned benefi t schemes 
adjustments.

The Balance Sheets, as refl ected in 
Tables 1 and 3 also contain other minor 
remeasurements.

AIFRS adjustments with effect from 
1 October 2005 (refer Table 4)

(a) Credit loss provisioning
Initial increase in retained earnings. 
Substantial volatility in future earnings.
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 using 
the original effective interest rate. As this 
discount unwinds during the period between 
recognition of impairment and recovery of 
the written down amount, it is recognised in 
the Income Statement as interest income.

(iv) Securitisation
Additional assets/liabilities recognised for the 
Group. Immaterial impact on net profi t.
AIFRS has introduced new requirements for 
the recognition of fi nancial assets, including 
those transferred to special purpose entities 
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 resulted in an increase in assets and 
liabilities recorded on the Balance Sheet of 
$5 billion as at 1 October 2004 for the Group 
(refer Table 1). For the comparative AIFRS 
year ended 30 September 2005, the Group 
recognised a decrease of $388 million in 
both assets and liabilities, refl ecting the net 
impact of repayment and securitisation of 
new assets during the year (refer Table 3).

With special purpose entities controlled 
by the Group being consolidated, some 
assets and liabilities (mainly investment 
securities and net loans and advances) 
were transferred to due to and due from 
controlled entities in the Company’s Balance 
Sheet (refer Tables 1 and 3).

The impact on the Income Statement for 
the Group is that income and expenses 
increased to recognise the income and 
expense items recorded within these 
vehicles, with the overall impact on net 
profi t being immaterial.

(v) Foreign currency translation reserve
Initial increase in retained earnings. No change 
to shareholders’ equity. 
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 resulted in an 
increase in retained earnings of $218 million 
(Company: $233 million) (refer Table 1).

(vi) Asset revaluation reserve
Initial increase in retained earnings. No change 
to shareholders’ equity for the Group. Decrease 
in shareholders’ equity for the Company.
The Group’s asset revaluation reserve under 
previous AGAAP related to revaluations of 
land and buildings. 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’s 
asset revaluation reserve of $31 million 
was reset to zero as at 1 October 2004 and 
adjusted against retained earnings (refer 
Table 1).

 91

Notes to the fi nancial statements

51: Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) (continued)

(a) Credit loss provisioning (continued) 
The general provision in the Balance Sheet 
was 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 identifi ed 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 previous AGAAP 
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 
previous general provision, comfortably falls 
within the probable range of losses that 
have been incurred but not identifi ed in our 
portfolio.

On adoption of AIFRS, the previous 
Economic Loss Provisioning (ELP) charge 
to profi t was 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: 

  at 1 October 2005, there was an increase 
of $1 million (Company: decrease of $4 
million) to retained earnings relating 
to individual provisions on impaired 
exposures as a result of the net impact of 
including expected interest cash fl ows in 
the calculation of the individual provision 
and discounting estimated future cash 
fl ows;
  at 1 October 2005, the collective provision 
was $288 million (Company: $238 million) 
less than the AGAAP general provision. 
After tax, this resulted in an increase 
to retained earnings of $206 million 
(Company: $167 million) and a decrease 
in the foreign currency translation reserve 
of $23 million (Company: nil) at 1 
October 2005;
  individual provisions and movements 
in the collective provision are charged 
directly to the Income Statement, driving 
increased earnings volatility; and

  movements in the collective provision 
are driven by changes in portfolio size, 
portfolio mix, credit risk and economic 
cycles.

(b) Fee revenue – fi nancial service fees 
recognised as an adjustment to yield
Initial reduction in retained earnings. 
Immaterial impact on net profi t.
Under AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement’, fee income 
(such as loan approval fees) integral 
to the yield of an originated fi nancial 
instrument (such as loans and advances 
measured at amortised cost), net of any 
direct incremental costs, are capitalised 
and deferred over the expected life of the 
fi nancial instrument.

On 1 October 2005, certain fees that 
have previously been recognised in the 
Income Statement, were deferred and 
recognised against net loans and advances 
in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding 
reduction to retained earnings of $276 
million (Company: $196 million) after 
tax. The annual impact on net profi t from 
this change is not material. However, 
there was an increase in interest income 
(offset by a reduction in fee income) and a 
reclassifi cation to interest earning assets 
of customer’s liabilities for acceptances 
of $13.4 billion for the Company and the 
Group.

(c) Derivative fi nancial instruments, 
including hedging
Initial reduction in retained earnings. Volatility 
in future earnings. New assets and liabilities 
recognised.
At 1 October 2005, recognition of the fair 
value of derivatives relating to securitisation 
vehicles and structured fi nance transactions 
reduced retained earnings by $78 million 
(Company: $68 million). The Group 
continues to evaluate hedging relationships 
and effectiveness for certain structured 
fi nance transactions, which introduces 
volatility within the Income Statement.

AIFRS permits hedge accounting (if certain 
criteria are met) for fair value hedges, cash 
fl ow hedges and hedges of investments in 
foreign operations. Fair value and cash fl ow 
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.

At 1 October 2005, the Group designated 
certain fair value and cash fl ow hedges and 
fi nancial liabilities as fair value through 
other income in the profi t and loss, resulting 

92  ANZ Full Financial Report 2006

in an increase in net assets of $86 million 
(Company: decrease of $52 million) 
represented by a decrease in retained 
earnings of $75 million (Company: $63 
million), and an increase in reserves of 
$161 million (Company: $11 million).

(d) Financial instruments classifi cation 
and measurement
Certain assets reclassifi ed and measured at 
fair value. Initial decrease in retained earnings. 
Immaterial impact on net profi t.
Under AIFRS, certain fi nancial assets of the 
Group previously carried at amortised cost 
were either:

  reclassifi ed as available-for-sale assets, 
resulting in measurement at fair value with 
movements being taken to an available-
for-sale equity reserve. This resulted in 
an available for sale reserve at 1 October 
2005 of $17 million (Company: $11 
million); or
  reclassifi ed as fi nancial assets held at fair 
value through the profi t and loss, with 
movements in fair value through other 
income in the profi t and loss resulting in a 
decrease in retained earnings at 1 October 
2005 of $3 million (Company: nil).

All derivative fi nancial instruments, 
including those used as hedging 
instruments, are measured at fair value 
and recognised in the Balance Sheet. This 
requires an adjustment to refl ect the market 
value of counterparty risk in the fair value of 
derivatives, which resulted in a decrease in 
retained earnings of $29 million (Company: 
$28 million) at 1 October 2005. (Under 
AGAAP, counterparty risk was notionally 
allowed for as part of the general provision.)

Financial instruments are measured under 
AIFRS at bid or offer prices rather than the 
previous AGAAP use of mid prices. On 1 
October 2005, this change in measurement 
resulted in a decrease in retained earnings 
of $5 million (Company: $4 million).

(e) Classifi cation of hybrid fi nancial 
instruments
Reclassifi cation of ANZ StEPS from equity 
to debt. Reduction in net profi t. 
Under AASB 132: ‘Financial Instruments: 
Disclosure and Presentation’, ANZ StEPS, 
a hybrid Tier 1 instrument treated as equity 
under previous AGAAP, was reclassifi ed as 
debt. Prepaid issue costs, offset against 
the preference share capital balance under 
previous AGAAP, were capitalised and 
amortised to interest over a fi ve year period 
from the date of issue.

Notes to the fi nancial statements

51: Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) (continued)

At 1 October 2005, the Company and the 
Group’s loan capital increased by $1 billion 
representing the transfer of $987 million 
from preference share capital to loan capital, 
capitalised prepaid issue costs of $11 
million, a decrease in the deferred tax asset 
of $4 million and a decrease in retained 
earnings after tax of $6 million representing 
amortisation of prepaid issue costs. Ongoing 
distributions to the holders of ANZ StEPS 
will be treated as an interest expense in the 
Income Statement rather than as dividends 
under previous AGAAP.

(f) Accounting for INGA

Initial reduction in retained earnings and 
increase in notional goodwill for the Group. 
Reduction in earnings volatility. 
Under AASB 131: ‘Interests in Joint 
Ventures’, and in line with previous AGAAP, 
the Group is required to equity account for 
its interest in INGA. The adoption of AIFRS 
by INGA resulted in the following signifi cant 
measurement and recognition differences to 
previous AGAAP:

  reclassifi cation and measurement of 
shareholder investments as available-for-
sale assets. This change in measurement 
results in a reduction in investment return 
volatility experienced by INGA, as only 
realised gains and losses are reported in 
its net profi t;
  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 (total impact is 
a decrease to retained earnings of $107 
million) for the Group;
  initial entry fee income previously taken 
upfront is deferred and amortised to 
income over time (total impact is a 
decrease to retained earnings of $23 
million for the Group); and
  other sundry items (total impact is a 
decrease to retained earnings of $16 
million for the Group)

Under AIFRS, the excess of the market value 
over net assets (EMVONA) for INGA’s life 
insurance controlled entities is no longer 
recognised. Accordingly, an adjustment 
has been made to reclassify $72 million 
from intangibles to notional goodwill 
for the Group.

The Group’s 49% share of INGA’s net AIFRS 
adjustment is a decrease of $146 million 
to retained earnings and an increase of $8 
million to the available-for-sale reserve, 
resulting in a reduction in the carrying value 
of the Group’s interest in INGA of $138 
million as at 1 October 2005.

Explanation of material AIFRS adjustments 
to the AGAAP cash fl ow statement as at 
30 September 2005
Various assets and liabilities (principally 
loans and advances and deposits and 
other borrowings) which were classifi ed as 
investing or fi nancing cash fl ows, are now 
reclassifi ed as operating cash fl ows under 
AIFRS. The Company and the Group’s net 
cash position has not changed. There are no 
other material differences between the cash 
fl ow statement presented under AIFRS and 
that presented under previous AGAAP.

SCOPE
We have audited the fi nancial report of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“the Company”) for the fi nancial year ended 30 
September 2006, consisting of the income statements, statements of recognised income and expense, balance sheets, statements of cash 
fl ow, accompanying notes 1 to 52 and the directors’ declaration set out on pages 2 to 110. The fi nancial report includes the consolidated 
fi nancial statements of the consolidated entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the end of the year or from time to time 
during the fi nancial year. 

We have audited the disclosures made by the Company, as permitted by the Corporations Regulations 2001, about the remuneration of 
directors and executives (“remuneration disclosures”), including those required by Australian Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related 
Party Disclosures, under the heading “Remuneration report” on pages 70 to 91 of the director’s report and not in the fi nancial report. The 
Company’s directors are responsible for the fi nancial report and the Remuneration report. The directors are also responsible for preparing the 
relevant reconciling information regarding the adjustments required under the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1 First-time Adoption of 
Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. We have conducted an independent audit of this fi nancial report and the 
remuneration report in order to express an opinion on them to the members of the Company.

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial report is 
free of material misstatement and the remuneration disclosures comply with AASB 124. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, 
of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the fi nancial report and the remuneration report, and the evaluation of accounting 
policies and signifi cant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, 
the fi nancial report is presented fairly in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting 
requirements in Australia and statutory requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’s and 
the consolidated entity’s fi nancial position, and performance as represented by the results of their operations and their cash fl ow and whether 
the remuneration disclosures comply with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 124.

The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion: 

(1)   the fi nancial report of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is in accordance with:

a) the Corporations Act 2001, including:

3: Volume and Rate Analysis

The following table allocates changes in interest income and interest expense between changes in volume and changes in rate for the past two 
years. Volume and rate variances have been calculated on the movement in average balances and the change in the interest rates on average 
interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities. The variance caused by the change of both volume and rate has been allocated 
in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of each change to the total.

Concentrations of credit risk exist if a number of counterparties are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics that 
would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Off balance sheet

7: Capital Management

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, carrying the highest capital elements, and Tier 2, which has lower capital elements but still adds to the overall 
strength of the entity. Tier 1 is divided into ‘Fundamental’ and ‘Residual’ capital, and Tier 1 deductions. ‘Residual’ capital covers hybrid Tier 1 
instruments with limits restricting the volume that can be counted as Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital is divided into Upper and Lower Tier 2 capital; 
with Lower Tier 2 capital being dated subordinated debt. Limits apply to the volume of Tier 2 and Lower Tier 2 that can be counted as capital for 
prudential purposes. Further, in calculating the total capital, deductions are taken for any strategic holdings of other banks’ capital instruments 
and investments in entities engaged in life insurance, funds management and securitisation activities. APRA introduced new prudential capital 
standards as at 1st July 2006 which contain various transitional rules which run through to different dates in 2008 and 2010 to coincide with 
Basel II implementation.

The measurement of risk weighted assets is based on: a) a credit risk-based approach wherein risk weightings are applied to balance sheet 
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.

Glossary

AIFRS – Australian Equivalents to 
International Financial Reporting Standards.

Collective provision is the provision for 
Credit Losses that are inherent in the 
portfolio but not able to be individually 
identifi ed; presently unidentifi ed impaired 
assets. A collective provision may only be 
recognised when a loss event has already 
occurred. Losses expected as a result of 
future events, no matter how likely, are not 
recognised.

Equity standardisation. Economic Value 
Added (EVATM) principles are in use 
throughout the Group, whereby risk adjusted 
capital is allocated and charged against 
business units. Equity standardised profi t 
is determined by eliminating the impact 
of earnings on each business unit’s book 
capital and attributing earnings on the 
business unit’s risk adjusted capital. This 
enhances comparability of business unit 
performance. Geographic results are not 
equity standardised.

Group Centre division includes Operations, 
Technology and Shared Services, Treasury 
(funding component), Group People 
Capital, Group Strategic Development, 
Group Financial Management, Group Risk 
Management, Capital Funding and Group 
Items.

Impaired assets are those whose carrying 
value is greater than the amount expected to 
be recovered over its life. More specifi cally, 
in relation to loans or other credit facilities, 
impairment may arise where there is 
reasonable doubt about the collectability of 
interest, fees (past and future) or principal 
outstanding, or where the concessional 
terms have been provided because of the 
fi nancial diffi culties of the customer.

Income includes external interest income 
and other external operating income.

Individual provision charge is the amount 
of impairment on those loans and advances 
assessed for impairment on an individual 
basis (as opposed to on a collective basis). 
It takes into account expected discounted 
cash fl ows over the lives of those loans and 
advances.

Institutional is a division encompassing 
businesses that provide a full range 
of fi nancial services to corporate and 
institutional customers in all geographies:

for Institutional clients with FUM in excess 
of A$150 million in Australia and New 
Zealand and, for global corporate clients 
with whom ANZ Australia has an existing

Net advances include gross loans and 
advances and acceptances less income 
yet to mature and allowance for credit 
impairment.

Net interest average margin is net interest 
income as a percentage of average interest 
earning assets. Non-assessable interest 
income is grossed up to the equivalent 
before tax amount for the purpose of these 
calculations.

Net interest spread is the average interest 
rate received on interest earning assets less 
the average interest rate paid on interest 
bearing liabilities. Non-assessable interest 
income is grossed up to the equivalent 
before tax amount for the purpose of these 
calculations.

Net non-interest bearing items, which are 
referred to in the analysis of interest spread 
and net interest average margin, includes 
shareholders’ equity, impairment of loans 
and advances, deposits not bearing interest 
and other liabilities not bearing interest, 
offset by premises and equipment and other 
non-interest earning assets. Non-performing 
loans are included within interest bearing 
loans, advances and bills discounted.

Net tangible assets equals share capital 
and reserves attributable to shareholders of 
the Group less preference share capital and 
unamortised intangible assets (including 
software).

future) or principal outstanding, or where 
the concessional terms have been provided 
because of the fi nancial diffi culties of the 
customer.

of the services it uses. 

Service transfer pricing charges are reported 
in the profi t and loss statement of each 
business unit as:
  Net inter business unit fees – includes 
intra-group receipts or payments for sales 
commissions and branch service fees. A 
product business will pay a distribution 
channel for product sales. Both the 
payment and receipt are shown as net 
inter business unit fees.
  Net inter business unit expenses – 
consists of the charges made to business 
units for the provision of support services. 
Both payments by business units and 
receipts by service providers are shown 
as net inter business unit expenses.

Signifi cant items are items that have a 
material impact (typically > $10 million) on 
profi t after tax, or the earnings used in the 
earnings per share calculation. Signifi cant 
items also do not arise in the normal course 
of business and are infrequent in nature. 
Divestments are typically defi ned 
as signifi cant items.
