The board policy sets out the test for the purpose of assessing the independence of non-executive directors as follows: “An independent director is a director who is free from any material business or other association – including those arising out of a substantial shareholding, involvement in past management or as a supplier, customer or advisor - that could interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment”. In deciding materiality, the quantitative materiality thresholds in Accounting Standard AASB 1031 are taken into account, as well as qualitative materiality factors. The board has assessed each non-executive director as independent. Further detail in relation to Robert Johanson and Jenny Dawson is set out below. Robert Johanson The Chairman of the Company, Mr Robert Johanson, is responsible for leading the board and ensuring that it is operating to the appropriate governance standards. Robert has been Chairman of the Company since 2006 and a non-executive director since 1988. Robert is a director of Grant Samuel Group Pty Ltd (and subsidiaries), which has a long standing relationship with the Company and which is one of a range of firms which may be engaged to provide corporate advisory services to the Company. In choosing a provider for corporate advisory services, the Company will consider the type of assistance required, the expertise of the firm and individuals in the firm, their understanding of the Company and its strategy, and the cost of the services. During the reporting period Grant Samuel was engaged to provide general commercial property advice and advice on the group’s distribution arrangements with Australia Post. The Company engaged other firms in relation to the institutional share placement, share purchase plan and the acquisition of Bank of Cyprus Australia. The decision whether to appoint Grant Samuel. The total fees paid by the Company to Grant Samuel for the 2011/12 financial year was approximately $280,000 (excluding GST and disbursements). Grant Samuel has provided the Bank with written confirmation that, in relation to the engagements referred to above, the fees paid by the Bank in 2011/12 are not material to Grant Samuel. The board has an established protocol for the engagement of Grant Samuel. The protocol deals with the following two key matters. • • Appointment: The appointment may be made by the managing director if the matter comes within quantitative materiality guidelines set by the board and does not involve a success fee or break fee. Otherwise the appointment can only be made by the board. In making a decision the board must consider the following. • Confirmation from Grant Samuel regarding the materiality of the transaction to Grant Samuel. • Confirmation from Mr Johanson regarding the materiality of the transaction to Mr Johanson and whether Mr Johanson The involvement of Mr Johanson. believes the engagement would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment as a director. • Whether the engagement would impact on the independence of Mr Johanson, taking into account the above confirmations, and materiality from the perspective of the Company. • Whether Mr Johanson may be present and participate in board discussions and vote on the matter about which Grant Samuel provides advice. • Whether the engagement of Grant Samuel is in the best interests of the Company. Mr Johanson is not present and does not participate in the board decision on whether to engage Grant Samuel. He may be invited to join the meeting to answer questions or make additional comments (including if Mr Johanson is aware of any reason it would not be in the interests of the Company to engage Grant Samuel in the matter under consideration), but then is required to leave the meeting for the discussion and decision. Umbrella engagement terms have been agreed with Grant Samuel (without the involvement of Mr Johanson), and specific engagements are documented. Involvement: If Grant Samuel is engaged, there are a number of restrictions on Mr Johanson’s involvement, including the following. • • The primary responsibility for management of the matter by Grant Samuel is to be with personnel other than Mr Johanson. The work and strategic advice is to be carried out by personnel other than Mr Johanson. Contact with the Company is to be through those personnel. • Mr Johanson is to have a review role only in relation to advice, and if Mr Johanson attends any meetings, he is to do so as a director of the Company. • If the board has decided that Mr Johanson can participate in decision-making on the matter, Mr Johanson is required to make an independent assessment of advice provided by Grant Samuel and if he has any concerns, to raise those concerns with the managing director or the board. The board believes that the engagement of Grant Samuel does not prejudice the independence of Mr Johanson. Furthermore, the board believes that Mr Johanson has consistently brought independent judgement to bear on board decisions and is satisfied that Mr Johanson has retained independence of character and judgement and has not formed associations with management (or others) that might compromise his ability to exercise independent judgement or act in the best interests of the Company. - 8 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Jenny Dawson Ms Jenny Dawson has been a non-executive director of the Company for 13 years. Jenny is a chartered accountant based in Bendigo. As stated above, she has particular expertise in the areas of financial reporting and audit, IT internal control reviews, internal audit and risk management. Prior to her appointment to the board in 1999, Jenny worked with the Company from 1995 up to the date of her appointment, initially as a contractor (1995 to 1998) and then as an employee (1998 to 1999) managing the internal audit function. At that time, the Company was predominantly based in regional Victoria and was less than 10% of the size it is now. In the period leading up to Jenny’s appointment, 2 board members, both experienced accountants, retired. The board reviewed the skills, experience and attributes represented on the board and identified, in particular, the benefits of gender diversity and additional local representation (in Bendigo) as well as the need to replace the accounting skills lost through the retirement of directors. Jenny’s skills, experience and attributes met all of the criteria sought by the board and she was appointed to the board. Since Jenny’s appointment, the rules and regulations in relation to corporate governance issued by ASX and APRA changed so that previous employment relationships between a director and a company became a relevant consideration when assessing a director’s independence. The Company endorses the policy behind these changes. By the time these standards came into effect a number of years after her appointment, the board assessed Jenny as independent on the basis that sufficient time had elapsed and senior management changes had been made that Jenny displayed independence of character and judgment and did not have associations with management and staff that might compromise her ability to exercise independent judgement or act in the best interests of the Company. This continues to be the case today. Renewal and re-election The board is committed to a process of orderly renewal, overseen by the governance and HR committee, and taking into account the planned retirement of directors. 6 non-executive directors have retired; In November 2007 (the time of the merger between Bendigo Bank and Adelaide Bank), 2 former directors of Bendigo Bank resigned and 5 former directors of Adelaide Bank were appointed to the board. Since then, the following changes have taken place: • • • In addition to this, in 2009 the managing director retired and a new managing director was appointed. As a result, there are now 4 directors who have served on the board for less than 5 years (including the managing director), 2 directors who have served 5-10 years and 2 who have served more than 10 years. 3 new non-executive directors have been appointed. an executive director has resigned; and In considering renewal the board considers term of service, but not as a determinative factor. Moreover, the board considers that there is a benefit in retaining the services of directors who have experience across economic cycles and changes in the market environment. Corporate memory is an important attribute of the board. A director seeking re-election at the end of their term must provide a statement of contribution to the board. In making a decision whether to recommend re-election, the board takes into account the statement of contribution, the director’s performance assessment, the skills and experience needed on the board and the skills and experience of the current board. All new directors are provided with an induction program for the board (and relevant committees) to familiarise directors with the Company’s business and strategy. Board performance The following board performance review process applies. • • • • Board as a whole – annual review: An internal review is conducted by the Chair of the board. This involves questionnaires completed by directors and executives, as well as individual discussions by the Chair. Individual directors – annual review: This is conducted by the Chair of the board.

The review is lead by the chair of each committee and discussed in a board meeting. Reviews of the board as a whole, committees, individual directors and the Chair of the board took place during the year in accordance with the process described above. The review of the board and committees involves consideration of performance against the charters and goals and objectives set at the start of the financial year. The board review also considers the structure and role of the board (including in strategy and planning), culture and relationships, meeting processes and organisational performance monitoring. An external consultant was engaged in the 2011-2012 financial year to provide assistance and advice in relation to the board performance evaluation process. - 9 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Board committees The board is assisted in discharging its responsibilities by the 5 board committees described below.

More detailed policies exist that then deal specifically with various aspects of the code, for example the conflicts of interest. In addition, the reporting of concerns policy provides a reference point for reporting concerns, including on an anonymous basis. This includes a concern, a grievance, and report of a suspected breach of law or group policy (including any breach of the code of conduct). The reporting of concerns policy also sets out the protection provided for employees who raise concerns in good faith. Fit and proper In addition, all directors and senior managers must meet fit and proper standards under the Company’s fit and proper policy, which addresses the requirements of APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS520 “Fit and Proper”. Under the policy, all directors and senior managers need to have appropriate skills, experience and knowledge, and act with honesty and integrity. Directors and senior managers are assessed before appointment and then annually. All directors and senior managers have been assessed as fit and proper. - 11 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Continuous disclosure and communications The continuous disclosure policy assists the Company in making sure that all price sensitive information is disclosed to Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the continuous disclosure requirements of ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The board meeting agenda includes continuous disclosure as a standing item for board consideration. The managing director, Chair and executive officers are responsible for identifying matters or transactions arising between board meetings which require disclosure under the ASX Listing Rules. All announcements to be lodged with ASX must first be approved by an authorised officer, generally the managing director, before release. The Company secretary is responsible for coordinating communications with ASX and for having systems in place to make sure that information is not released to external parties until confirmation of lodgement is received from ASX. The communications policy provides clear authorities and protocols for all communications with parties external to the Company, including investors, ASX, regulatory authorities, media and brokers. It has also been designed to complement the continuous disclosure policy, to make sure that information flows are controlled, and to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent disclosures outside the continuous disclosure reporting regime. In addition to all direct communications sent to individual shareholders, the Company will communicate publicly with its shareholders by posting information in the corporate governance section on the Company’s website. To provide shareholders with a better opportunity to participate in the Annual General Meeting, in 2012 the Company will again hold its Annual General Meeting in two locations – Bendigo and Adelaide. Directors and senior management will be in both locations and the meeting will be transmitted live between the two venues, enabling shareholders to ask questions and vote across two venues. Share trading The trading policy imposes restrictions on trading in the Company’s securities by directors, members of the executive committee and other designated employees (who may have access to price sensitive information). A black-out period is imposed for the 10 weeks leading up to each of the half-year and full-year announcements to ASX. The policy also requires these employees and officers to tell the Company before and after trading and this information is reported to the board. In addition, all employees and directors are prohibited from trading if in possession of price sensitive information. The policy prohibits directors, members of the executive committee and other designated employees from using their Company securities as part of a margin loan portfolio. The policy also prohibits a participant in an executive incentive plan from entering into a transaction designed to remove the “at risk” element of an entitlement under the plan (a) before it vests, and (b) after it vests, until any restriction period imposed by the board ends or has been lifted. Overview of diversity The Company has a diversity policy that is founded on the Company’s code of conduct and corporate values. As stated in the policy: “Staff: We advocate an inclusive and welcoming workplace. As an employer, we aim to offer an environment where people are treated with respect, feel valued, and can achieve success, both for the individual and the organisation. We also recognise the importance of an appropriate work-life balance. Customers and communities: Our vision is to be Australia’s leading customer-connected banking group. We engage with customers and communities, by taking time to connect, listen and understand and build sustainable relationships. It makes sense to have a diverse team to be able to better understand and meet the needs of our diverse customer base and the communities in which we operate. The Bank: Our ability to deliver our “unique style of banking” is dependent on having the best people. We will only find these people by drawing from the broadest pool of candidates available. Attracting and retaining a diverse team of talented people positions our organisation for success – it creates both immediate business value and a sustainable organisation. It also contributes to our good reputation. So diversity makes good business sense and helps create value for shareholders.” The governance & HR committee has responsibility for keeping the policy under review. This includes the effectiveness of the policy. The board is responsible for assessing performance against measurable objectives on an annual basis. A people development and diversity council has been established, chaired by the executive, corporate resources. The council comprises representatives from across the Company. Its role is to promote diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace, and also to provide input from across the organisation to assist formulate policy, strategy and objectives. The governance & HR committee established the Company’s diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program in 2012 as a means for measuring the effectiveness of the policy in achieving the Company’s diversity objectives. The diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program is described below. - 12 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Diversity profile Information about the Company’s gender profile as at 31 March 2012 is set out in the following table.

This year, the numbers for Rural Bank are included in the table, along with those of Bank of Cyprus Australia, which was acquired during this financial year. This has impacted in particular on the percentages shown for women in senior management (and combined senior management and executive committee), which has reduced from 30% last year (or 29% for senior managers and executive committee combined) to 25% this year as a result of the impact of the numbers in Rural Bank and Bank of Cyprus Australia. - 13 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Progress against 2011 diversity objectives The diversity objectives set last year and progress against those objectives is discussed below. 1. Develop and introduce an inclusiveness and diversity strategy at an organisational level across the following four areas - gender, age, cultural background (with an initial focus on indigenous background) and disability – by 30 June 2012 – completed. The Company has introduced a diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program that is designed to establish a strong foundation for ongoing diversity and inclusiveness initiatives. The purpose of the strategy and work program is to support the Company’s aim to become Australia’s leading customer connected bank by providing an environment with a diverse workforce where employees work in an inclusive and welcoming workplace. The priority areas for development are: • developing and supporting inclusive leaders, • creating an inclusive culture where all employees can thrive, • building a more diverse workforce at all levels, • strengthening diversity foundations and effective governance of diversity and inclusiveness, and • aligning the diversity program to fit the Company’s customer connected strategy. Introduce a program for management development for both genders through experience as directors on subsidiary and joint venture boards; conduct an analysis of current gender composition of these boards and set target for female representation – by 30 June 2012 - completed. A program for management development through representation on subsidiary and joint venture boards has been introduced. An analysis of the current gender composition of these boards has been completed and targets have been set for the gender composition of management on these boards. The new target is reported as a new diversity objective (see below). Increase the representation of females in senior management (including senior managers and executives) from 29% to at least one third – by 30 June 2015 - ongoing. 3. 2. Initiatives under the diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program have been designed to achieve this target. The reported percentage of women in senior management this year has reduced from 29% to 25% due to the inclusion of Rural Bank and Bank of Cyprus Australia. Accordingly, this objective now effectively targets an increase from 25% to one third. 4. Maintain female representation of at least one third of the board – ongoing. This representation has been maintained, with 3 female directors on the board (out of a total of 8). Additional diversity objectives The board has set the following additional objectives, which are priority initiatives identified under the diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program. 1. Female management representation on subsidiary and joint venture boards – target 25% by 30 June 2013. 2. Female representation is currently 20%. Increasing representation from senior management ranks would increase the number of female candidates. The management development program introduced for both genders is expected to increase female representation. Senior management and the top 200 hiring managers to attend a diversity awareness and unconscious bias workshop with diversity messages to be built into the management and leader development program by 30 June 2013. An important foundation of a successful diversity and inclusiveness strategy is the creation of a broad based awareness of diversity and inclusiveness which reveals and helps to address underlying attitudes and mindsets. 3. Flexible work arrangements to be reviewed - by 30 June 2013. Flexible work arrangements have been identified as an important enabler for diversity and inclusiveness. While the Company does have policies and processes in place, the diversity and inclusiveness strategy and work program requires further work to be done to further embed flexible working as the accepted way of doing things. 4. Additional operational milestones and targets to support each of the elements of the diversity and inclusiveness strategy to be set by 30 November 2012 and reviewed by 30 June 2013. The operational milestones and targets are to be based on the Company’s current operational profiles and reflect the following, which are Company’s priority areas of focus: • gender • age • disability • cultural background. - 14 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Overview of risk management The management of risk is an essential element of the group’s strategy and operations. The risk management strategy is based on risk principles approved by the board. The board is responsible for overseeing the establishment, implementation, review and monitoring of risk management systems, policies and internal controls to manage the Company’s material risks. The board has established an integrated framework of committees, policies and controls to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk. Executive management is responsible for implementing the policies and controls. The first line of defence is the business itself which has accountability for controls. It is the operational and business management team where the primary responsibility exists for identifying and managing risk, implementing controls and monitoring their effectiveness through quality processes. The second line of defence is primarily group risk that provides specialist assistance to the business to monitor and manage risks. The third line of defence is group assurance. Through completion of reviews outlined in the group assurance strategic plan, assessments are made to determine whether the group’s network of risk management, control, and governance processes, as designed and represented by management, is adequate and functioning effectively. The Company has established a system of regular reporting from independent risk (credit, operational and market) and audit functions to the executive committee and board committees on the implementation and effectiveness of the risk management systems, policies and internal controls designed to manage key business risks. Key business risks The following provides an overview of the key risks. Further information about risks and the associated risk management framework is presented at Note 40 of the Annual Financial Report. Credit risk Description: Credit risk is risk of financial loss due to the unwillingness or inability of a counterparty to fully meet their contractual debts and obligations. Responsibilities: The board credit committee provides assistance to the board in relation to oversight of the group’s credit risk profile and credit risk management framework. The committee is responsible for approving changes to the framework including setting policies in relation to credit standards, practices and procedures within the group and monitoring compliance with the policies. A management credit committee supports the board credit committee in respect to credit risk management and an independent credit risk function manages credit support, analysis and reporting. This is complemented by credit risk reviews performed by the group assurance function. Market Risk Description: Market risk is the risk of losses arising from adverse movements in market prices which in turn affect the value of balance sheet positions. Market risk includes interest rate risk and currency risk which are discussed below. An independent middle office function oversees, supports and reports on the market risk activities of group treasury and financial markets to the asset liability management committee (ALMAC) and board risk committees. Middle office provides treasury and financial markets with policy direction, risk management advice (market, operational and credit risks) and compliance monitoring in relation to the reporting of market risk and related activities. The risks and activities include liquidity, traded and non-traded market risk (interest rate and foreign exchange). Interest rate risk Description: Interest rate risk is the potential for volatility in earnings due to adverse movements in interest rates. Responsibilities: Interest rate risk management is primarily monitored through the board risk committee, supported by a management committee, the ALMAC. Interest rate risk is managed through group treasury. Currency risk Description: Currency risk is the risk of loss of earnings due to adverse movements in exchange rates. Responsibilities: Currency risk is primarily monitored by the board risk committee, supported by a management committee, the ALMAC. Currency risk is managed through group treasury, in the financial markets unit. Liquidity risk Description: Liquidity risk is the inability to access funds, which may lead to an inability to meet obligations in an orderly manner as they arise or having to forego investment opportunities. Responsibilities: Liquidity risk is primarily monitored by the board risk committee, supported by a management committee, the ALMAC. It is managed through group treasury, in the liquidity and balance sheet management units. The independent middle office function oversees and supports the risk management framework for liquidity risk as discussed above. Strategic risk Description: The risk that adverse business decisions, ineffective or inappropriate business plans or failure to respond to changes in the environment will impact the Company’s ability to meet its objectives. Responsibilities: Strategic risk is primarily monitored by the executive management committee. The board has ultimate responsibility for strategic risk. - 15 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Operational risk Description: Operational risk is the risk of impact on objectives resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events including legal and reputation risk but excluding strategic risk. Responsibilities Operational risk (other than financial reporting risk) is primarily monitored by the board risk committee, supported by a management committee, the operational risk committee. It is managed through the group operational risk business unit, which manages regulatory compliance, fraud prevention and detection, anti-money laundering and business continuity. Operational risk is governed by the group operational risk framework. The framework complies with Basel II (operational risk management) and Australian Standard – AS/NZS 4360:2004 (risk management). The board audit committee has primary responsibility for the oversight of financial reporting risk. In addition to the internal group assurance function (discussed below), the external auditor considers risk management in order to assess and understand the group’s business and financial risks as well as the effectiveness of internal controls which may have a significant impact on the annual financial report. Group assurance Group assurance is an internal audit and credit risk review function, independent of the business and of the external auditor. It assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s processes for controlling its activities and managing its risks. The head of group assurance has a direct reporting line to the board audit committee and an administrative reporting line to the executive, corporate resources, as well as direct access to the managing director, the Chair of the board audit committee and the Chair of the board. The board committee procedural rules provide for the audit committee to meet at least annually with the head of group assurance without management present. Group assurance also has direct access to any member of staff and access to any information relevant to its work. Reports on the outcome of assurance programs are provided to the board audit committee, with those relating to credit risk also provided to the board credit committee. Reports on specific reviews are also provided to other board committees as appropriate. The strategic plan for the group assurance function is approved and monitored by the board audit committee which also assesses and confirms the independence and effectiveness of the function. Financial reporting The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements. The board’s responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. The audit committee assists the board by providing oversight of the group’s financial reporting responsibilities including external audit independence and performance. The audit committee responsibilities include the following: • Assessing whether the financial statements are consistent with committee members’ information and knowledge and, in their opinion, adequate for shareholder needs. • Overseeing compliance with the statutory financial reporting obligations of the group. • Considering and applying any significant changes in accounting policies, principles and practices. The managing director and chief financial officer provide a written statement to the board in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act that the Annual Financial Report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. The statement is made on the basis that it provides a reasonable, but not absolute, level of assurance and does not imply a guarantee against adverse events or circumstances that may arise in future periods. External auditor Independence policy The board audit committee is responsible for maintaining a policy about auditor independence, rotation and the provision of non-audit services, and monitoring compliance with that policy. The policy on audit independence sets out the factors that may compromise auditor independence. It requires advance approval by the audit committee for engaging the auditor for any non-audit services, to enable the audit committee to consider whether there may be an impact on auditor independence. The policy requires the audit committee to receive the annual and half-year independence declarations from the auditor. The external auditor also meets separately with the audit committee without the presence of management. - 16 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Non-audit services The audit committee gives an annual and half-year statement to the board as to whether the audit committee is satisfied that the independence of the external audit function has been maintained having regard to the provision of non-audit services, and why it is so satisfied. As part of this process the audit committee receives a report, confirmed by group assurance, setting out the nature and scope of all non-audit services provided during the period, including fees and confirmation from relevant senior management that they are not aware of any matters that might impact the auditor’s independence. The Directors’ Report includes a statement about whether the directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the independence of the auditor and the reasons for being so satisfied. Rotation of audit personnel The policy provides that a person who plays a significant role in the audit must rotate if they have acted in that role for five successive years or, if they were to act, they would have played a significant role for more than five out of seven successive financial years, with a two-year cooling-off period. Annual General Meeting Members may give written questions to the Company for the auditor about the content of the auditor’s report to be considered at the Annual General Meeting, or the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report to be considered at the Annual General Meeting, no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held. The external audit engagement partner from Ernst & Young is required to make sure that a suitably qualified representative attends the Annual General Meeting. The chair of the meeting provides an opportunity for the members as a whole at the meeting to ask the auditor’s representative questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and conduct of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit. The Chair also allows a reasonable opportunity for the representative of the auditor to answer written questions submitted before the meeting. - 17 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 FIVE YEAR HISTORY The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group Financial Performance for the year ended 30 June Interest income Interest expense Net interest income Other income Bad & doubtful debts expense (net of bad debts recovered) Other expenses Profit before income tax expense Income tax expense Net (profit)/loss attributable to non controlling interes t Profit after income tax expens e Adjustments Cash basis earnings Financial Position at 30 June Total assets Net loans and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Financial as sets and derivatives Other as sets Equity Deposits and Notes payable Reset preference share Subordinated debt Other liabilities Share Information Net tangible assets per ordinary share Earnings per ordinary share - cents Cash basis earnings per ordinary share - cents Dividends per ordinary share: Interim - cents Final - cents Total - cents Ratios Profit after tax before specific items return on average as sets Return on average assets Cash basis return on average ordinary equity Return on average ordinary equity 2012 (1) $m 3,434.8 2,490.7 944.1 268.8 32.4 854.4 326.1 (131.1) - 195.0 128.0 323.0 57,237.8 48,670.0 561.0 5,372.5 2,634.3 4,217.7 2011 $m 3,385.8 2,450.6 935.2 300.8 44.2 767.3 424.5 (77.9) (4.5) 342.1 (5.9) 336.2 55,004.5 46,409.8 670.6 5,296.8 2,627.3 3,960.1 2010 (2) $m 2,712.2 1,857.6 854.6 280.4 44.7 739.6 350.7 (90.8) (17.3) 242.6 48.4 291.0 52,222.5 43,603.2 1,040.2 4,848.6 2,730.5 3,880.4 2009 (3) $m 3,154.7 2,519.7 635.0 238.7 80.3 674.1 119.3 (35.5) - 83.8 97.7 181.5 47,114.2 38,740.9 1,148.0 4,360.3 2,780.6 3,118.7 2008 (4) $m 2,695.6 2,098.1 597.5 272.4 23.1 560.5 286.3 (87.3) (0.7) 198.3 41.3 239.6 48,049.0 40,105.0 1,608.6 3,647.8 2,113.9 3,297.9 50,983.7 48,975.0 46,217.4 41,854.3 42,697.1 89.5 436.9 1,510.0 89.5 575.7 1,404.2 89.5 532.9 1,502.3 89.5 598.7 1,453.0 89.5 675.8 1,288.7 $6.16 48.6 84.2 30.0 30.0 60.0 0.56% 0.35% 8.36% 4.84% $5.76 91.5 92.3 30.0 30.0 60.0 0.61% 0.64% 9.07% 8.99% $5.27 67.4 83.3 28.0 30.0 58.0 0.56% 0.49% 8.18% 6.61% $4.31 25.4 62.6 28.0 15.0 43.0 0.36% 0.18% 5.79% 2.35% $5.60 87.7 111.1 28.0 37.0 65.0 0.72% 0.61% 12.29% 9.70% 1 2 3 4 Figures for 2012 include the fully consolidated trading of Bank of Cyprus Australia from 1 March 2012.

There was no significant change in the nature of the activities of the group during the year. Consolidated Result The consolidated profit after providing for income tax of the group amounted to $195.0 million (2011 - $342.1 million). Review of Operations and Operating Results The Company announced an after tax statutory profit of $195.0 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. Cash earnings were $323.0 million, a decrease of 3.9 per cent over the previous financial year. The Company also announced a final dividend of 30 cents per share (fully franked), which is flat on the previous financial year. The Company’s performance was impacted by the challenging market environment including high funding costs and a low demand for credit. Despite this the Company continues to grow and invest in the business and the Company’s core revenue generating businesses of retail, third party banking, wealth and rural banking continue to perform well. The Company has also maintained its efforts to improve the funding and capital profile. The Company has limited net interest margin contraction through prudent and proactive balance sheet management. It has sought to price both assets and liabilities in the most appropriate manner for all stakeholders. This has been combined with an active hedging program which, while expensive, has successfully mitigated the risk of significant margin volatility. The Company also announced the sale of the subordinated notes held in its TORRENS securitisation program. The sale of the entire portfolio of notes is expected to release approximately $80 million of Core Tier One capital. This, together with the sale of the Company’s 7.8% interest in IOOF Holdings Limited in August 2012 has resulted in an additional 42 basis points of Core Tier One capital post balance date. These non-dilutive capital management initiatives demonstrate the Company’s commitment to managing a profitable, but ultimately low risk and prudent business. The Company continues to focus on its long-term performance and sustainability which is central to its strategy. The strategy has been vindicated by recent credit rating upgrades from Fitch and Standard & Poor’s, and contrasts very favourably to the rating momentum of many banks across the globe. Funding costs have remained high, with sustained competition for retail term deposits in particular. Despite these pressures net interest margin only decreased by seven basis points over the year. The Company’s term deposit retention rates have remained consistently higher than 80%, notwithstanding the Company continuing to adopt a less aggressive pricing structure than many of its competitors. Deposits grew by $2.2 billion over the six months to June 2012, and by $3.9 billion over the full year. The Company’s margin lending portfolio has now fallen more than 70% since its pro-forma peak of more than $8 billion in 2007. While this decline is being replaced by asset growth in other portfolios, notably residential mortgages sourced through both retail and third-party channels, it has had a significant impact on the weighted average margin achieved on business assets. The decline in the margin lending portfolio, and an assessment of the value of the wealth division, resulted in December 2011’s write-off of $95.1 million of goodwill associated with this business, which affected the full year statutory profit. Cost containment and efficiency continues to be a major focus of management. Operating expenses, excluding the purchase of the Bank of Cyprus Australia (BOCA), grew by just 1.1% over the year. Operational expense growth including the BOCA acquisition was 2.2%. However, due to deteriorating revenues the cost-to-income ratio increased to 59.1% compared to 57.4% for the 2011 year. The group maintains its long-term 55% cost-to-income target. As part of the group’s continued cost focus the Board has announced there will be no short term incentive bonus pool for the payment of executive bonuses for the 2012 year. Despite this cost focus the Company continues to invest in the strategic initiatives and its front-line capacity. The integration of BOCA continues ahead of plan and in excess of synergy targets. There has been significant investment of staff and resources into the group’s Basel II Advanced Accreditation project and customer-led connection strategy. This is in addition to the continued investment in the roll-out of the Company’s newly-developed customer relationship management system. These investments are being resourced from within the business, with considerable effort being made to maintain front-line capacity and service levels, while managing back-office functions to fit the needs of the evolving business. Credit quality is sound across the Company’s businesses. 90 day arrears in our largest portfolio, being residential mortgages, deteriorated slightly over the period, sitting at 0.82% in June 2012, while business lending arrears (90-day) increased marginally to 2.8%. The consumer portfolio continued to perform well, with both credit card and personal loan arrears at near historical lows of 1.56% and 0.99% respectively. Rural Bank arrears and provisions are returning to historical levels after the trade disruptions and natural disasters of the past 24-months. The Company’s outlook for the coming year remains difficult to predict given the significant market volatility and revenue challenges facing all banks. Funding costs, changing asset mix and demand for credit are all volatile reflecting the global environment. Notwithstanding these pressures, the Company will continue to invest in its business, its people, and the communities that it operates in, and will work diligently in its efforts to become Australia’s leading customer-connected bank. - 22 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 The Company has industry-leading customer and business customer satisfaction levels as well as staff engagement levels which are 2% above the Australian high-performance benchmark. The Company will continue to leverage these strengths, and the strengths of its funding and capital profiles, to take advantage of the significant opportunities that exist for Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. Further information on the operations, performance, strategies and prospects of the economic entity are set out in the Report by Chairman and Managing Director at pages 8 to 10 of the 2012 Annual Review which is available from the Company’s web site. Certain information in respect to business strategies and prospects has not been disclosed where the disclosure is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company or its controlled entities. Significant Changes in the State of Affairs The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the group occurred during the financial year: In September 2011, 5,005,825 shares were allotted at an issue price of $8.06 to those shareholders participating in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, increasing share capital by $40.3 million. In December 2011, 17,751,480 shares were allotted at an issue price of $8.45 per share, increasing share capital by $148 million, which is net of share issue costs. In March 2012, 6,200,872 shares were allotted at an issue price of $7.33 per share, increasing share capital by $45 million, which is net of share issue costs. In March 2012, 5,303,252 shares were allotted at an issue price of $7.36 to those shareholders participating in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, increasing share capital by $39 million. In the opinion of the directors, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group that occurred during the financial year under review not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements. After Balance Date Events On 20 August 2012 the Bank declared a final dividend for ordinary shares, on 18 June 2012 announced a dividend for preference shares and on 11 April 2012 announced a dividend for Step up preference shares, details of which are shown previously. On the 9th August 2012 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group announced the sale of its 7.8% stake in IOOF. The sale will improve statutory earnings by approximately $40 million and Tier One capital will increase by approximately 13 basis points. There will be a reduction of dividend income received for the financial year 2013 of approximately $7.5 million. For further information please refer to our ASX release on the 9th August 2012. The Bank recently completed the sale of a portfolio of subordinated notes it held in existing Torrens securitisation trusts. The Bank had previously deducted capital against these holdings to the value of approximately $90 million. This sale eliminates the need for this deduction and increases Tier One capital by 29 basis points. There will be a loss on sale of these investments of $12.4 million recorded for the financial year 2013. Except as referred to in the report by chairman and managing director, above, or dealt with elsewhere in the consolidated financial report, there were no matters or circumstances which arose since the end of the financial year to the date of this report which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the group in subsequent financial years. Likely Developments and Results Disclosure of information relating to major developments in the operations of the group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years, which, in the opinion of the directors, will not unreasonably prejudice the interests of the group, is included in the information provided above under the heading “Review of Operations and Operating Results”, as well as the Report by the Chairman and Managing Director at pages 8 to 10 of the 2012 Annual Review which is available from the Company’s web site. - 23 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS AND OUTCOMES FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES FOR 2012 This summary gives shareholders a concise and easy to understand overview of the group’s remuneration outcomes for the 2012 financial year and includes information on the actual value of remuneration received by senior executives. This summary is unaudited and has not been prepared to comply with statutory obligations or accounting standards. The detailed statutory remuneration disclosures prepared to comply with the accounting standards are contained in the Company’s 2012 remuneration report. 2011 - 2012 Outcomes Remuneration oversight & approval The board, on recommendation of the governance & HR committee, approved the 2012 remuneration arrangements for senior executives, including the managing director, in August 2011. The managing director’s long term incentive arrangements were set in 2009. The senior executives’ long term incentive arrangements were set in 2009 and 2010. No long term incentive grants were made to senior executives in the 2012 financial year. Remuneration policy A number of technical changes were made to the Remuneration Policy to clarify its operation under APRA’s remuneration prudential standards. The changes did not alter the design or structure of the group’s remuneration arrangements in FY2012. Non executive director fees The base non-executive director fee was increased from $129,375 to $143,000 ($286,000 for the Chair – two times the base fee) for the period 1 July 2011 to 31 October 2011 and from $143,000 to $165,000 ($412,500 for the Chair – two and a half times the base fee) for the period 1 November 2011 to 30 June 2012. There were no additional fee payments for board committee memberships. In addition, the non-executive directors again contributed $5,000 of their annual fee payment to fund the board scholarship for students to assist them meet their living expenses. Additional fees were paid to directors who were on the boards of Rural Bank Limited, Sandhurst Trustees Limited and the Community Bank® Strategic Advisory Board. Senior executive salaries The board approved changes to senior executive remuneration arrangements in August 2011 in line with increases awarded to salaried employees generally. The overall increase in fixed remuneration for all senior executives and other direct reports to the managing director for the 2012 financial year was 3.5%. Company performance Short term incentive (“STI”) Long term incentive (“LTI”) The Company’s overall performance for the year did not achieve the targets set by the board. The Company announced a statutory after-tax profit of $195 million for the year. The Company’s cash earnings result was $323 million, a 3.9% decrease on the previous financial year. The cash earnings result equated to 84.2 cents per share and represents an 8.7% decrease on the previous financial year. The Company’s share price decreased by 145 cents (16.4%) and the Company’s annual dividend remained flat at 60 cents. In August 2012 the board, on recommendation from management and the governance & HR committee, decided that the criteria for establishment of a group short term incentive (STI) performance bonus pool were not met and no STI bonus pool was established for the 2012 financial year. As no STI bonus pool was established, no STI bonuses were paid to senior executives for the 2012 financial year. No long term incentive grants were made to senior executives in the 2012 financial year. Below is a summary of the outcomes for past grants. Shareholders approved an issue of five equal annual parcels of performance shares to the managing director at the 2009 Annual General Meeting (AGM), with the performance periods measured over one to five years (with the final performance period ending 30 June 2014). No further grants are proposed during the performance period. The board also approved an issue of three equal annual parcels of performance shares to other senior executives following the 2009 AGM, with the performance periods measured from one to three years (with the final performance period ending 30 June 2012). The vested performance shares for the managing director and the other senior executives are subject to a further trading restriction which applies for the later of 2 years from the end of each parcel’s performance period and the date specified in the offer. In 2010 the board approved a supplementary grant to senior executives to reflect changes in senior executive roles, market relativities and to re-align the mix of short and long-term incentive components (with performance periods also ending 30 June 2012). Half of each annual parcel of performance shares is subject to earnings per share (EPS) and total shareholder return (TSR) tests. The EPS test for the parcel tested on 30 June 2012 (which included previous parcels rolled over from 2010 and 2011 for retesting) was not met. For the managing director, these performance shares have been rolled over for retesting in FY2013. For other senior executives, the performance share parcels tested on 30 June 2012 have lapsed. The other half of each annual parcel of performance shares is subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company. The relevant employment date under the grant was 30 June 2012, and accordingly, the 2012 parcel vested for executives who received the grant and were employed by the Company at that date. - 24 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 2011-12 Remuneration outcomes for senior executives Remuneration outcome summary The table below sets out the actual remuneration received by senior executives in relation to FY2012. The values disclosed in the table below are different to the tables set out later in the Remuneration Report for the reasons explained in footnote 6. Executive (current title) Base Pay 1 (Fixed annual remuneration) Remuneration received 6 Short term incentive (Cash/ Shares)2 Long term incentive Shares 3 Remuneration forfeited Total % of cash bonus not awarded 4 Value of LTI that lapsed 5 Key management personnel – current members of executive committee Mike Hirst (Managing Director) Marnie Baker (Executive: Banking and Wealth) Dennis Bice (Executive: Retail Banking) John Billington (Executive: Bendigo Wealth) Richard Fennell (Chief Financial Officer) Russell Jenkins (Executive: Customer and Community) Tim Piper (Executive: Risk) Stella Thredgold (Executive: Corporate Resources) Andrew Watts (Executive: Change) $1,258,408 $556,883 $409,666 $414,504 $511,922 $470,938 $409,540 $312,951 $420,696 - - - - - - - - - $556,399 $1,814,807 100% $178,885 $155,089 $711,972 100% $282,047 $81,088 $490,754 100% $120,116 $96,397 $510,901 100% $132,098 $152,139 $664,061 100% $272,376 $155,089 $626,027 100% $289,339 $113,953 $523,493 100% $216,942 $65,722 $378,673 100% $90,061 $98,587 $519,283 100% $189,918 1 Base pay: This is the total amount of cash salary, non-monetary benefits, company superannuation contributions and annual leave and long- service leave paid in the financial year. 2 Short term incentive: In accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy, one third of the short term incentive is subject to deferral into shares in the Company for a period of two years. 3 Shares: Value is derived from the LTI if the securities vest. For the purposes of this table, the value is based on the Company’s closing share price on the day the securities were tested, being 30 June 2012. The vesting date of the shares is anticipated to be in September 2012. 4 % of cash bonus not awarded: This is the percentage of the bonus for the reporting year that the executive did not receive, due to performance conditions not being satisfied. It does not carry over into future years. 5 Value of lapsed LTI: This is the value of performance rights and performance shares for the reporting year that have lapsed and are not subject to retesting. The value is calculated by using the closing share price of the Company’s shares at the date of testing, being 30 June 2012. For the purpose of this table the value of options that lapsed for the reporting year, and are not subject to re-testing, have not been included as the exercise price ($14.66) exceeded the market value of the Company’s shares at testing date. 6 Differences to Remuneration Report: The difference to the amount disclosed in the Remuneration Report varies for the following reasons. In relation to base pay, the statutory Remuneration Report amounts include an additional amount representing a notional interest benefit, calculated on the average balance of interest-free loans provided under the employee share ownership plan calculated at the Company’s average cost of funds. The amounts in the Remuneration Report also include movements in annual and long service leave accruals. The disclosure in the table under the column “Shares” represents the actual value of shares received by senior executives in FY2012 for long term incentive (LTI) grants that have vested. The value disclosed is the market value of the shares at the date of testing or vesting as explained in the footnote. The amounts disclosed under the Share Based Payments columns in the Remuneration Report represent the accounting values for current and previous year LTI grants which by law must be disclosed in the Remuneration Report and include LTI that has not and may never vest if performance or service conditions for vesting are not met. There were no termination benefits for the above senior executives. - 25 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 REMUNERATION REPORT 1. Introduction This remuneration report is for the Company and the consolidated entity (group) for the year ended 30 June 2012. It forms part of the Directors’ Report. It has been audited. The remuneration report explains the approach the Company takes to remuneration for non-executive directors and for senior executives, and details the remuneration provided. In this report the term “senior executive” is used to refer to all executives who fall within the definition of key management personnel of the group – ie those persons with authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the group, directly or indirectly. 2. Non-executive directors 2.1 The non-executive directors The non-executive directors of the Company are as follows. Robert Johanson (Chairman) Kevin Abrahamson (retired 24 October 2011) Jenny Dawson Jacqueline Hey (appointed 5 July 2011) Jim Hazel David Matthews Terry O’Dwyer (retired on 13 August 2012) Deb Radford Tony Robinson - 26 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 2.2 Principles The following principles apply to non-executive director remuneration. Principle Comment 1. Structure Remuneration to preserve independence / encourage longer-term perspective 2. Shareholders approve an aggregate fee pool 3. Fees are reviewed and set by reference to key considerations 4. Base fee 5. Subsidiary, joint venture and other boards 6. Superannuation 7. Special services 8. Travel, accommodation 9. No share-based payments As the focus of the board is to build sustainable shareholder value by taking a longer-term strategic perspective, there is no direct link between non-executive directors’ fees and the annual results of the Company. Non-executive directors do not receive bonuses or incentive payments, nor participate in the Company’s employee equity participation plans. The shareholders approve an aggregate fee pool. This includes payments by the Company and its subsidiaries. Shareholders approved the current aggregate fee pool for non-executive directors of $2,500,000 at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. This fee pool covers the main board, Company directors on the Rural Bank board and the Chair of Sandhurst Trustees. The governance & HR committee recommends to the board the remuneration policy and remuneration for non-executive directors. The following considerations are taken into account in setting fees: (a) The scope of responsibilities of non-executive directors and time commitments. This includes taking into account any changes in the operations of the Company and industry developments which impact director responsibilities and risk, at both the board and committee level. (b) Fees paid by peer companies and companies of similar market capitalisation, including survey data and peer analysis to understand the level of director fees paid in the market by companies of a relatively comparable size and complexity, particularly in the banking and finance sector. Non-executive directors receive a fixed annual fee, which is reviewed annually. The Chair receives a higher base fee in recognition of the additional time commitment and responsibilities. No additional fees are paid for serving on board committees. The base fee per annum for the reporting period was as set out below: From 1 July 2011 to 31 October, 2011: (a) $143,000 for directors. (b) $286,000 for the Chair (two times the base fee). From 1 November 2011 to present: (a) $165,000 for directors (b) $412,500 for the Chair (two and half times the base fee). The directors support a Company scholarship fund. This support is generally provided by way of the director forfeiting the right to the amount of the contribution ($5,000) so that the director receives a lower base fee and that amount is instead paid into the scholarship fund. The scholarships are awarded to outstanding students who have been offered a full-time place at an Australian university or college campus, who would not otherwise be able to undertake tertiary education due to social or financial circumstances. The scholarship for each student is up to a maximum of $5,000 per annum and intended to provide assistance by way of support for accommodation costs or other direct study costs. The board may decide to pay additional fees to directors who are directors of subsidiary, joint venture or other boards. The Company pays additional fees for directors of the Company who are also members of the Sandhurst Trustees Limited board, the wealth management subsidiary of the Company, and the Community Bank® Strategic Advisory Board. These amounts are included in the shareholder approved cap and are included in the total fees disclosed paid to non-executive directors. Rural Bank Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, pays its own fees to its non-executive directors, which includes directors of the Company. These amounts are included in the shareholder approved cap and are included in the total fees disclosed paid to non- executive directors. Superannuation contributions are made on behalf of the non-executive directors at a rate of 9%. This amount is included in the shareholder approved cap. No other post- employment benefits are paid to non-executive directors. The board may decide to pay for special services or any journey on the business of the Company. If fees are paid, they are included in the shareholder approved cap. The board did not pay any fees of this nature during the year. Directors are reimbursed for all reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in attending meetings or when engaged on Company business.

Independent advice Jim Hazel Commentary The current members of the committee are all independent non-executive directors: 1. Tony Robinson (Chairman) 2. 3. Robert Johanson 4. Deb Radford The committee has responsibility for providing input into the group’s risk framework in relation to remuneration risk; in particular, recommending to the board the remuneration arrangements for the senior executives (including the managing director). Further details of the committee’s responsibilities for remuneration are summarised below and the committee charter is available from the Company’s website. The committee’s remuneration responsibilities include conducting regular reviews of, and making recommendations to the board on, the remuneration policy taking into account the Company’s strategy, objectives, risk profile, shareholder interests, regulatory requirements, corporate governance practices and market developments. The committee is required to form an opinion of those persons whose activities, individually or collectively, may affect the financial soundness of the institution, and for whom a significant portion of total remuneration is based on performance (additional management personnel) as required under the remuneration requirements of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). The committee makes an annual recommendation to the board on the remuneration of the managing director, direct reports of the managing director, additional management personnel, and other persons specified by APRA. The Committee makes an annual recommendation to the board on the remuneration of categories of persons covered by the remuneration policy, not addressed above, namely: (a) Other responsible persons (as defined in APRA’s prudential Standard APS 520 Fit and Proper (excluding the auditor and non-executive directors)). (b) Risk and financial control personnel. This includes recommendations on the following: (a) Changes in the structure of remuneration arrangements. (b) The basis on which performance based remuneration is provided, including the pool of funds available for distribution as bonuses. The committee makes recommendations to the board on the exercise of the board’s discretion to adjust performance-based components of remuneration (STI and LTI) to reflect the outcomes of business activities, the risks relating to those activities and the time necessary for the outcomes of the business activities to be reliably measured. This includes adjusting performance-based component of remuneration downwards, to zero if appropriate, where necessary to protect the financial soundness of the Company or to respond to significant, unexpected or unintended consequences that were not foreseen by the board. The committee recommends to the board equity schemes and monitors tracking of performance against board approved hurdles for senior executives. The committee recommends to the board any material changes to superannuation arrangements. The committee may consult a professional adviser or expert, at the cost of the Company, if the committee considers it necessary to carry out its duties and responsibilities. During the reporting period no remuneration recommendations were sought from external consultants which would require approval of directors or the committee under the legislation1 that applies from 1 July 2011 to remuneration consultancy contracts or which could only be provided to directors or the committee under that legislation (as is required for certain remuneration recommendations). - 29 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 3.3 Remuneration policy The key features of the Company’s remuneration policy, applicable to remuneration paid in FY2012, are set out in the table below. In August 2012 the Company amended its remuneration policy. As discussed in section 3.7 below, this did not impact any remuneration paid in FY2012. The Company continues to pursue a long term strategy focused on the interests and prospects of its customers, communities and partners, and building sustainable shareholder value. The Company’s strategy is built on the vision of being Australia’s leading customer connected banking group. The Company’s performance in FY2012, based on this strategy, is set out in section 3.5.1. The board has sought to maintain a remuneration framework that provides the desired flexibility and reward structure to support this strategy whilst recognising the need to provide remuneration arrangements which are aligned with shareholder interests and appropriate for senior executive roles, responsibilities and market relativities. Issue Commentary For more information see 1. Philosophy The following philosophy applies to the remuneration framework at both an n/a 2. Fixed remuneration 3. Variable: short term incentive (“STI”) organisational and divisional level: (a) Remuneration should facilitate the delivery of superior long term results for the business and shareholders and promote sound risk management principles. (b) Remuneration should support the corporate values and desired culture. (c) Remuneration should support the attraction, retention, motivation and alignment of the talent we need to achieve our business goals. (d) Remuneration should reinforce leadership, accountability, teamwork and innovation. (e) Remuneration should be aligned to the contribution and performance of the businesses, teams and individuals. Fixed remuneration in the form of base pay is designed to reflect the value the senior executive provides to the group including the skills and competencies needed to generate targeted results, their sustained contribution to the team and group and the value of the role and contribution of the individual in the context of the external market. Senior executive base remuneration is reviewed annually. Senior executives are given the opportunity to receive their base pay in a variety of forms including cash and non-cash (salary sacrifice) benefits such as motor vehicles, superannuation contributions and expense payment arrangements, provided the cost (including any fringe benefits tax) to the Company remains the same. In setting the remuneration of senior executives, the board takes into account general market and peer information, as well as the experience and expertise of the individual, relative to the role and responsibilities of each senior executive and maintains overall a conservative median market positioning. In the case of the managing director, the board also considers the strategic direction the managing director brings to the role, and any changes in the size, nature and complexity of the group’s business activities, as well as industry developments which impact on the managing director’s roles and responsibilities. STI is discretionary performance-based remuneration designed to drive and reward medium term results, reflecting the level and time horizon of risk. This includes financial and non-financial results and metrics at an organisational, divisional, team and individual level. Participation in STI is recommended by the governance & HR committee to the board for approval and offered to senior executives at the start of each year. Senior executive STI payments are funded through a group bonus pool established for the distribution of STI remuneration. The board decides the amount of any bonus pool at the end of each financial year having regard to key financial and risk measures that include cash earnings in excess of targeted minimum shareholder return and return on equity. The bonus pool is also adjusted to reflect the types and levels of risk involved in achieving the performance, and the overall risk appetite of the group. The board, on recommendation from the governance and HR committee, has discretion as to whether senior executives will receive an STI payment, and if so, the amount of the incentive payment. Factors taken into account in deciding STI payments include the group’s financial performance, business unit performance, the individual’s contribution to team performance, individual performance and their contribution to meeting risk and compliance requirements at a group, team and individual level. 3.4 3.4, 3.5.2 - 30 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Issue Commentary 4. STI deferral and forfeiture STI remuneration is subject to deferral as set out below. (a) One-third of STI awards which exceed the $30k threshold set by the board are subject to deferral (refer table at 3.5.2 (8). (b) Deferral is for two years from the end of the financial year for which the STI is granted. 5. Variable: long term incentive (“LTI”) (c) The amount deferred is converted into shares in the Company. (d) The participant is entitled to vote and receive dividends on the deferred equity. Forfeiture occurs if an employee’s employment with the group ends; if an employee acts fraudulently or dishonestly and in other cases decided by the board (for example, due to an adjustment for risk). LTI is discretionary equity based remuneration designed to drive and reward long term growth and sustained Company value, aligning the interests of shareholders and senior executives. At the board’s discretion, senior executives may be invited to participate in long term incentive plans. The grants are subject to long term performance and service conditions. The performance measures link reward with key performance targets that underpin sustainable growth in shareholder value including both share price and returns to shareholders. As the incentive is awarded in shares, the service condition provides a retention incentive that is linked to longer term Company performance and shareholder returns and takes into account the Company’s conservative median market positioning for base pay. For more information see 3.5.2 3.4, 3.4.2 3.5.3 6. Risk adjustment: STI & LTI The board has discretion, having regard to the recommendation of the governance & HR committee, to adjust variable remuneration (STI and LTI) to reflect the following. (a) The outcomes of business activities. n/a 7. Hedging (b) The risks related to the business activities taking account, where relevant, of the cost of the associated capital. (c) The time necessary for the outcomes of those business activities to be reliably measured. This includes adjusting performance-based components of remuneration downwards, to zero if appropriate, in relation to persons or classes of persons, if such adjustments are necessary to protect the financial soundness of the regulated institution or respond to significant unexpected or unintended consequences that were not foreseen by the board. A hedging restriction applies to variable remuneration that comprises equity. A member of key management personnel and their closely related parties may not enter into a transaction designed to remove the at-risk element of the equity before it has vested. This also applies to the at-risk element of equity after it has vested, if it is subject to a holding lock. These restrictions are in the staff trading policy and remuneration policy. n/a The Company treats compliance with these policies as important and takes appropriate measures to ensure compliance. At the end of each financial year, the Company requires a confirmation from each participant in the plan that they have complied with these restrictions. If an employee breaches either of these restrictions the employee forfeits all variable remuneration in the form of equity that is subject to the prohibition at the time of the breach. 8. Margin loan facility restriction The staff trading policy also prohibits designated officers, including non-executive directors and senior executives, from using the Company’s securities as collateral in any margin loan arrangements. n/a - 31 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 3.4 Remuneration terms and payments – overview 3.4.1 Components of remuneration The components of executive remuneration and the relative proportion of remuneration for each component for FY2012 are set out below.

The fair value of equity instruments which do not vest during the reporting period is calculated as at the grant date and is progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount included as remuneration is not related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual senior executives may ultimately realise should the equity instruments vest. The fair value of performance rights, options and performance shares as at the date of their grant has been calculated under AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures applying a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation method incorporating a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model to estimate the probability of achieving the Total Shareholder Return hurdle and the number of options and performance shares vesting. The assumptions underpinning these valuations are set out in Note 36 to the Annual Financial Report. 8 The amortised value of performance rights, options and performance shares as a percentage of total remuneration was: M Hirst 45% (2011: 43%), M Baker 34% (2011: 31%), D Bice 27% (2011: 25%), J Billington 30% (2011: 31%), R Fennell 37% (2011: 34%), R Jenkins 38% (2011: 35%), T Piper 33% (2011: 35%), S Thredgold 28% (2011:26%), A Watts 30% (2011: 32%). 9 Mr Billington became a member of key management personnel during FY2011 on 31 August 2010. Therefore, Mr Billington’s reported remuneration for FY2011 only represents the remuneration paid to him for the portion of the 2011 financial year that he was in that a key management personnel role. 10 One third of STI awards are subject to deferral into equity for two years. The amounts represent the amortised fair value for accounting purposes of the STI deferred share grants which are still to vest and are subject to forfeiture conditions. 3.5 Performance based remuneration 3.5.1 Company performance The Company announced on 20 August 2012 a statutory after-tax profit of $195 million. The Company’s cash earnings result was $323 million, a 3.9% decrease on the previous financial year. The cash earnings result equated to 84.2 cents per share and represents an 8.7% decrease on the previous financial year. Information on the Company’s share price performance is presented below. The performance for the year was impacted by the challenging market environment including high funding costs and a low demand for credit. The group’s core revenue generating businesses, retail, third party banking, wealth and rural banking continue to perform well. Deposits grew by more than $4 billion over the year and credit quality is sound across the Company’s businesses. The Company recorded a 1% increase in net interest income to $944.1 million and the interest margin before payments to community banks and alliances decreased from 2.17% to 2.10%. Net of these payments, interest margin decreased 7 basis points to 1.77% in the 12 months to 30 June 2012. Cost containment and efficiency has again been a major focus over the year. Expenses before specific items increased by 2.2% to $751.7 million compared to June 2011. The cost to income ratio was 59.1% compared to 57.4% at June 2011.

Based on the Company performance, the quantitative performance conditions as set out in sections 3.5.2 were not met and no STI bonuses were paid in relation to FY2012. The following graph compares the Company’s total shareholder return (TSR) against the ASX 100 Accumulation Index for the past five years (explained in section 3.5.3(b)). The ASX 100 is the comparator group against which the Company’s TSR performance is measured for the current long term incentive plan. As discussed further below, no instruments have vested for current senior executives under the discontinued executive incentive plan. The above table, together with the graphs, illustrate the progress in the key performance indicators used by the board to measure and compare the Company’s year-on-year performance over the past 5 years. The second key performance indicator used for the LTI is the Company’s TSR performance. The Company’s market relative TSR performance underperformed the comparator group and did not achieve the targeted percentile ranking for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 performance periods. The Company’s market relative TSR percentile ranking was partially achieved for both the 2010, 2011 and 2012 performance periods, however, because the EPS gateway hurdle for FY2012 was not met, no LTIs subject to performance conditions vested for FY2012. Only LTIs subject to service conditions vested. - 35 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 3.5.2 Short-term incentive (a) Description The principles that apply to the short term incentive have been summarised above for executive key management personnel (3.3). More detail is provided below. Feature Description 1. What is the STI? The senior executive remuneration packages include an annual cash incentive component which rewards the achievement of annual financial goals, taking into account risk management and compliance, and senior executive contributions to longer term growth and performance. The maximum amount of the senior executive cash incentive is set by the board taking into account market data and the senior executive’s particular role and responsibilities. 2. Who participates in the STI? All senior executives (who are key management personnel) and other senior management as decided by the board. 3. Why does the board consider the STI an appropriate incentive? 4. Are performance conditions imposed? 5. What are the performance conditions, why were they chosen and how are they measured? The objective of the incentive is to link a reasonable proportion of senior executive remuneration with the annual financial performance of the Company and the achievement of individual business priorities which enhance the future prospects of the Company. The total potential annual cash for each senior executive with operational responsibilities at a level which provides an appropriate incentive to achieve business and financial targets and at a cost that is reasonable to the Company in its circumstances. incentive is set The STI is based on target performance conditions designed to drive short and medium term results and at a level that reduces incentive for inappropriate behaviour and risk taking. Payment of the STI for senior executives and other participants is at the discretion of the board and is based, first, on the achievement of financial performance measures and, secondly, on the level of individual executive performance. 5.1 General conditions Threshold performance – Setting of Group Performance Bonus Pool The amount of the annual incentive component awarded and paid to executives is dependent, first, on the Company’s cash earnings performance set by the board and the establishment of a pool of funds approved by the board for the payment of staff bonuses. In establishing any bonus pool the board takes into account financial measures including the achievement of targeted cash earnings and return on equity performance. The bonus pool also takes into account the type and level of risk associated with achieving the cash earnings performance using risk measures including capital ratios, liquidity ratios and the Company’s risk weighted asset base. The annual bonus pool settings are structured in a manner so that the aggregate amount that can be allocated to the bonus pool are capped. The board selected the cash EPS measure as it represents a publicly available performance measure that appropriately reflects the short-term interests of shareholders. The Company’s cash EPS ratio ensures that an appropriate focus is placed upon both profit performance and effective application of shareholder capital. The selected risk measures are fundamental to the nature of the business activities carried on by the Company. Additional quantitative and qualitative measures Payment of the annual incentive component is also dependent on achievement by executives of quantitative and qualitative measures as explained below. These measures have been chosen to link the executive’s performance with the Company’s vision to be Australia’s leading customer-connected bank and its long-term strategic perspective (see further the governance statement in the annual report), as well as to encourage improved performance and to ensure the level of risk associated with the level of performance achieved by the Company is appropriate for the Company’s circumstances. In addition, the managing director’s objectives are linked to enhancing the reputation of the organisation. 5.2 Specific conditions Managing director The managing director’s annual cash incentive component for the FY2012 year was based upon a mix of quantitative and qualitative performance measures and was set at a maximum of $400,000. The quantitative element, weighted at 50% for FY2012, focused on the group achieving its targeted cash EPS performance. This was chosen to link the managing director’s performance to improved Company performance.

The board has established an equal weighting between financial and strategic objectives to give the appropriate focus on longer term performance and the achievement of strategic objectives. Other senior executives The objectives and measures for individual executives include those set out below. (a) Group financial and strategic performance – net profit after tax, cash earnings per share, return on equity, liquidity and capital ratios and arrears performance. (b) Business unit (team) financial and strategic performance – achievement of division or business unit growth and financial performance targets, implementation of specific business initiatives and projects in line with project targets and timeframes, independent industry focused customer satisfaction and advocacy rankings and customer and community engagement initiatives. (c) Individual contribution to team performance – achievement of overall division or business unit targets and business and risk objectives, assessment of extent to which a “one-team” culture has been promoted, assessment of continuous improvement in processes and procedures. (d) Individual performance, including alignment with corporate values and meeting performance objectives – assessment of leadership, management of business unit resourcing and compliance with corporate values and code of conduct. Contribution to meeting risk and compliance requirements at the group, team and individual level. Risk and compliance requirements also represent a gateway to whether a payment is made and the size of the payment. Notwithstanding financial performance and the individual contribution and performance, if the individual, team or group does not meet or only partially meets risk and compliance requirements, no award or a reduced award may be made. Measures include compliance with risk management and operational policies and procedures. The performance conditions are measured at the same time as board approval of the Company’s year-end profit result announcement. The achievement of the quantitative cash EPS performance condition for senior executives is measured on the basis of the Company’s reported cash EPS ratio. However, STI is only paid if the board decides there is a bonus pool available – see the table at paragraph 3.3 above, item 3. This method of assessment has been chosen because it enables the objective measurement of EPS growth against EPS targets while enabling the board to exercise its discretion for risk adjustments relating to the outcomes of business activities, the risks relating to those activities and the time necessary for the outcomes of the business activities to be reliably measured. Further information regarding the board’s approach to adjusting remuneration for risk is contained in sections 3.2 and 3.3. 6. When are the performance conditions measured and who assesses the performance? - 37 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 6. When are the performance conditions measured and who assesses the performance? (cont) the assessment of The non-executive directors conduct the managing director’s performance, taking into account the quantitative and qualitative measures set by the board, at which time the board decides the amount of the incentive payment based upon the achievement of the agreed performance measures. This allows for independent and objective assessment of the achievement of performance measures while enabling any necessary risk adjustments to occur at the board’s discretion. The managing director assesses the performance of other senior executives and recommends the annual STI payments for senior executives for consideration by the governance & HR committee and decision by the board. In making the recommendation, the managing director takes into account the group bonus pool available for the payment of STI awards and bonuses to group employees. This method of assessment has been chosen as the managing director is best placed to make an informed assessment of senior executive performance and progress towards performance targets, while the board retains ultimate oversight for the grant of STI awards and any necessary risk adjustments. 7. How well were the performance conditions met in the 2012 financial year? On recommendation of the governance & HR committee, the board determined that the criteria for establishment of a group performance bonus pool had not been met and no bonus pool was established for the 2012 financial year. Therefore, even where executives met their individual performance objectives, no STI awards were made. 8. What deferral arrangements apply? One third of STI awards which exceed the $30k threshold set by the board, are subject to deferral into equity for two years from the end of the financial year if awarded, ie until 30 June 2014. - 38 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 (b) Payments – FY2012 No short term incentives were paid to senior executives for FY2012.

No LTI grants were made to senior executives in FY2012. The Company intends to make new LTI grants to certain senior executives in FY2013 (see section 3.7). The following long term incentive arrangements are in place. Salary sacrifice, deferred share and performance share plan Executive incentive plan Established 2008 Status Current - 2006 Discontinued - First grant made in December 2009. Participants Senior executives (including the managing director) and other senior management approved by the board. Last grant made in November 2008, final testing 2012. Senior executives and other senior management approved by the board. Nature of grants Grants of performance shares subject to performance and service conditions set by the board. If the performance or service conditions are not satisfied during the performance periods, the performance shares lapse and the senior executives receive no value from the grants. Grants of options and performance rights subject to performance conditions set by the board. If the performance conditions are not satisfied during the performance period, the options and rights lapse and the senior executives receive no value from the grants. The Company also has a loan-based limited recourse employee share ownership plan (ESOP). The ESOP was open to general staff and senior executives (including the managing director) and was used by the Company as the long-term incentive arrangement before introducing the executive incentive plan. It did not include performance conditions, as at the time, the board considered that it was in the best interests of the organisation as a whole to have the managing director and other senior executives on the same equity participation arrangement as general staff who also participated in the ESOP. Information on the ESOP, including share grants and loan details are disclosed at Notes 36 and 38 of the Annual Financial Report. This plan is no longer open to senior executives. - 39 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 (b) Current plan – terms Key features of the current plan and grants under it are summarised below. Feature Description 1. What is the purpose of the LTI? Grants of performance shares under the plan are designed to link senior executive reward with key performance measures that underpin sustainable longer-term growth in shareholder value including both share price and returns to shareholders. 2. Who participates in the LTI? 3. What proportion of total remuneration does the LTI represent? 4. How is reward delivered under the LTI? 5. Do participants pay for the performance shares? 6. What rights are attached to the performance shares? The managing director and other senior executives as decided by the board. Shareholder approval is required for participation by the managing director.  In the case of the managing director, the grant made under the LTI in 2009, annualised over each of the five years to which the grant relates, equated to 45% of his total annual remuneration for the 2012 year. In the case of other senior executives, the grants under the current LTI equate to between 22% and 29% of their total annual remuneration. The LTI involves an entitlement to performance shares made in equal tranches. See 3.5.3(c) for the tranches that have been issued. Each tranche comprises two components or grants: (a) Grant A - 50% of each annual tranche is subject to an EPS gateway hurdle, requiring an increase in the cash EPS performance of the Company for the performance period. If that hurdle is met, the grant is then subject to a TSR performance hurdle. (b) Grant B - The other 50% of each annual tranche is subject to continuing service with the Company. Each performance share represents an entitlement to one ordinary share in the Company. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired is equal to the number of performance shares issued (subject to the conditions to vesting being met). Performance shares have been granted at no cost to the recipient and no exercise price applies. The vested shares are subject to a dealing restriction and senior executives are not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise deal with the shares allocated to them until the later of 2 years after the end of the tranche’s performance period and the date specified in the offer. In addition, the shares may not be hedged during that period. Senior executives or their closely related parties may not enter into any transaction designed to remove the “at-risk” element of an instrument both before and, if there is a holding lock, after it vests (see 3.3 above). Senior executives are entitled to vote and to receive any dividend, bonus issue, return of capital or other distribution made in respect of shares they are allocated on vesting of their performance shares. Dividends paid on vested performance shares are reinvested into shares (less an amount distributed to senior executives to meet tax obligations on the dividends) and are held in trust on the same terms as the performance shares during the dealing restriction period. 7. What are the hurdles and performance conditions? The vesting of the performance shares in Grant A is subject to a gateway cash EPS hurdle. The gateway hurdle will be met if there is an increase in the Company’s cash EPS performance during the financial year immediately before vesting for each tranche (ie the final year of the performance period for that tranche). The second performance condition for the performance shares granted under the plan is based on the Company’s market relative TSR performance over the performance period. See below – 3.5.3(c) for the performance period. In the case of the managing director, five tranches were granted in 2009. The performance for each tranche is measured over one to five year performance periods (with the final performance period ending on 30 June 2014). In the case of other executives, grants in FY2009 are measured over one to three years, and the supplementary grants in FY2010 are measured over one to two years. 8. Why were the performance conditions and periods chosen? The EPS based gateway hurdle is a fundamental indicator of financial performance, both internally and externally, and links directly to the Company’s long-term objective of growing earnings. The gateway cash EPS hurdle ensures that a minimum level of improvement in the Company’s performance and capital efficiency is achieved before any performance shares can vest. - 40 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 8. Why were the performance conditions and periods chosen? (cont) 9. How is EPS measured? 10. How is TSR measured? 11. Why does the Company think the TSR hurdle is appropriate? 12. What is the plan’s vesting terms – performance shares? The TSR based hurdle ensures an alignment between comparative shareholder return and reward for the senior executives and provides a relative, external market performance measure, having regard to the TSR performance of other companies in a comparator group (see item 11 below for information on the composition of the comparator group). The performance periods take into account retention of senior executives and the managing director, and the period of the managing director’s contract (see further, 3.5.3 (c) below). Cash basis EPS will be calculated as the reportable earnings approved by the board. For the purpose of the grants, the EPS gateway involves determining whether there has been an improvement in the cash basis EPS from the previous financial year. TSR measures changes in the market value of the Company’s shares over the performance period and the value of dividends on the shares during that period (dividends are treated as if they were re-invested). The use of a TSR based hurdle ensures an alignment between comparative shareholder return and reward for the managing director and senior executives and provides a relative, external market performance measure, having regard to the TSR performance of other companies in a comparator group. For the purpose of the grants under the plan, the comparator group is the ASX 100 Accumulation Index (excluding the Company, property trusts and resources). This group was chosen because the companies are of comparable size, and there are insufficient companies of comparable size in the banking or financial services sector alone to benchmark against performance of an industry-specific group. Performance shares granted under the plan will vest in accordance with the following table provided the EPS gateway condition has been met. Company’s TSR ranking against TSR of peer group TSR below 50th percentile TSR between 50th percentile and 75th percentile 65% TSR above 75th percentile Nil 100% Percentage of performance shares that vest 13. Does the plan provide for retesting? To the extent that the performance conditions attaching to performance shares granted under the plan are not satisfied at the end of the relevant tranche’s performance period, the performance shares that do not vest will be carried forward and retested as described below. Performance shares that do not vest will be treated as forming part of the following tranche and will be tested together with other performance shares at the end of the following tranche’s performance period. The board believes that retesting in these circumstances is appropriate because it ensures that senior executives are not disadvantaged by short-term average performance over a longer-term period of strong performance. If a senior executive ends their employment with the Company before the performance conditions for the performance shares have been met, the performance shares that have not yet vested will lapse. However, if the senior executive’s employment ends because of death, disability, redundancy, or any other reason approved by the board for this purpose, the board may, in its discretion decide that a number of performance shares vest. If a senior executive were to act fraudulently, dishonestly or, in the board’s opinion, in breach of his or her legal duties, any unvested performance shares will lapse. If there is a takeover or change of control of the Company, the board has the discretion to decide that unvested performance shares vest, having regard to the Company’s pro rata performance against the relevant performance conditions. 14. What if a senior executive ends employment? 15. What if a senior executive breaches their duties? 16. What happens if there is a change in control? - 41 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 (c) Current plan – grants General The following grants to the managing director and other senior executives were still in place under the current plan in FY2012. The first grant to the managing director and other senior executives was made on 11 December 2009 (FY 2010 Grant). The managing director’s grant involved one to five year performance periods. The grants to other senior executives involved one to three year performance periods. The board approved supplementary grants of performance shares in FY2011 as follows: (a) To current senior executives who were not senior executives at the time of the FY2010 grant. (b) To senior executives who were senior executives at the time of the FY2010 grant as part of the 2011 remuneration review to reflect changes in role, the contributions made and realignment of the mix of variable pay between short and long term. The grants were made with the same end date to align with the FY2010 grant made to senior executives, and aside from the difference in length of performance periods, were on the same terms as the FY2010 grant. The following table shows the categories of participants that have received grants under the plan and the achievement to date against the performance measure for each tranche. Performance period Participants Outcome to date Start End Grant A (EPS and TSR condition) 1.7.09 30.6.10 1.7.09 30.6.11 1.7.10 30.6.11 1.7.09 30.6.12 1.7.10 30.6.12 Senior executives Managing director Senior executives Managing director Senior executives (supplementary grant) Senior executives Managing director Senior executives (supplementary grant) This tranche was tested in August 2010.

This tranche was tested in August 2012. The EPS gateway hurdle was not met. In the case of the managing director, the shares that did not vest were carried forward and are available for retesting in 2013 (over a 4 year performance period). For all other senior executives, their performance shares have lapsed. This tranche was tested in August 2012. The EPS gateway was not met, and all of the performance shares have lapsed. Grant B (service condition) The performance shares issued to senior executives who remained employed by the group have vested, as the service condition was satisfied. For each senior executive whose employment with the Company ended during a year, the performance shares for that year lapsed. 1.7.09 30.6.13 Managing director 1.7.09 30.6.14 Managing director This tranche is held by the managing director under his 5 year grant and will be tested in August 2013.

The number of performance shares granted is included in the table in paragraph 3.5.3(f) below and the maximum value of the grants is included in the table in paragraph 3.5.3 (g) below. Having regard to the service and performance conditions, the potential minimum value is nil. - 42 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Managing director Further details about the grants made to the managing director are set out in the table below. In setting the five year performance period (and the additional dealing restriction ie the later of 2 years from the end of each tranche’s performance period and 30 June 2014), the board took into account the initial five year term of the managing director’s contract (July 2009 – July 2014) and the importance of rewarding the managing director for taking a longer-term perspective on the Company’s progress and performance. In setting the remuneration value of the entitlement, the board included a component that was subject to continued service with the Company. This took into account the relatively moderate market setting of the managing director’s remuneration. It was intended to provide the managing director with a further ownership stake in Company aligned with shareholder interests. This component in substance represents a deferred part of the managing director’s fixed reward linked to the long term performance of Company and interests of shareholders. The LTI will be reviewed at the end of the initial five year contract period. The performance shares were issued at market price to the value of $5 million (representing an annualised amount over each of the five years of $1 million). The market price was based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX for the 5 days before 1 July 2009 (being $6.56). The maximum number of shares that may be acquired by the managing director is equal to the number of performance shares issued, being 762,190. % of remuneration value of performance rights Performance shares (number) Potential remuneration value Performance period Outcome to date Tranche 1 Grant A 10% Grant B 10% 76,219 76,219 $500,000 $500,000 Tranche 2 Grant A 10% Grant B 10% 76,219 76,219 $500,000 $500,000 Tranche 3 Grant A 10% Grant B 10% 76,219 76,219 $500,000 $500,000 Tranche 4 Grant A 10% Grant B 10% 76,219 76,219 Tranche 5 Grant A 10% Grant B 10% 76,219 76,219 $500,000 $500,000 $500,000 $500,000 1 year (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010) 2 years (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2011) 3 years (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2012) 4 years (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2013) 5 years (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2014) No of shares vested: 125,761 Grant A – 49, 542 Grant B – 76, 219 Value at time of vesting: $8.18 per share No of shares carried into next tranche: 26,677 (from Grant A) No of shares vested: 143,102 Grant A – 66, 883 Grant B – 76, 219 Value at vesting time: $8.86 No of shares carried into next tranche: 36,013 (from Grant A) No of shares vested: 76,219 Grant A – Nil Grant B – 76, 219 Value at vesting time: $7.30 No of shares carried into next tranche: 112,232 n/a n/a (d) Discontinued plan - terms The terms of the discontinued executive incentive plan and grants under it are similar to those described above for the current plan, and the rationale for choosing the performance conditions was the same. The instruments issued under the discontinued plan were options and performance rights, each option or performance right representing one share. The design of the plan, including the terms and conditions of the options and performance rights issued under the plan, have been disclosed in prior year Annual Reports. Further information on the discontinued plan is disclosed at Notes 36 and 38 of the Annual Financial Report. (e) Discontinued plan - grants Shareholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting approved the grant of instruments under the discontinued executive incentive plan to senior executives. Offers were made as follow: • November 2006 (2007 grant) • July 2007 (2008 grant) • November 2008 (2009 grant) The proportion of remuneration represented by the LTI was between 12% and 23% of total remuneration. - 43 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Outcome The outcome is that no securities have vested under the terms of the executive incentive plan to current senior executives and the current senior executives have derived no value from the grants: • • The 2007 grant was tested in August 2009 and was retested in August 2010 (and also in January 2010 for the options). The unvested rights and options lapsed. The 2008 grant was tested in August 2010 and retested in August 2011 (and also in January 2011 for the options). The unvested rights and options lapsed. The 2009 grant was tested in August 2011 and retested in August 2012 and no performance rights or options vested.

An explanation of the pricing model used to calculate this value is set out in Note 36 to the Annual Financial Report. (b) The value of vested performance shares is based on the Company’s volume weighted closing share price on the date of testing (there is no exercise price), being $7.30. The shares are scheduled to vest in September 2012. (c) The value of each performance right, performance share and option on the date it lapses or is forfeited is calculated using the fair value of the performance rights and options. An explanation of the pricing model used to calculate this value is set out in Note 36 to the Annual Financial Report. (d) The value of options, performance rights and performance shares carried forward to future financial years is calculated using the fair value of the performance shares. The share based payments may be forfeited after allocation in specific circumstances as described in section 3.5.3. Therefore the minimum possible value of the awards is nil. The maximum value cannot be determined because it depends on future share price, but it is estimated according to fair value used for accounting purposes in this table. - 45 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 3.6 Senior executive contracts The remuneration and other terms of employment for senior executives are contained in contracts.

Remuneration policy The board approved changes to the remuneration policy in August 2012. These included the changes below, which did not affect remuneration for FY2012. • Clarification around the responsibilities for remuneration decisions and processes. • A reduction in the maximum variable remuneration that can be paid as a percentage of total remuneration for a number of categories of employee, including the managing director (but no change for senior executives). 3.7.2. Remuneration components For FY2013, the board proposes to introduce deferred shares as a retention incentive and a changed structure for LTI. These changes will not apply to the managing director in FY2013, as his remuneration is governed by his 5 year fixed term contract (entered into in 2009) and his long term incentive for the 5 year period of his employment was granted in 2009. - 46 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 (a) Remuneration mix The senior executives will have their base remuneration supplemented by a grant of deferred shares which, under accounting treatment, forms part of their variable remuneration. A corresponding decrease will be made to the senior executives’ LTI opportunity so that the remuneration mix between fixed and at-risk remuneration will remain unchanged. The key proposed changes for senior executives in FY2013 are summarised below. (b) Deferred shares Senior executives’ base remuneration will be supplemented by grants of deferred shares as a retention incentive. The deferred shares will be beneficially owned by the senior executive from the grant date, but will be held on trust for two years by the plan trustee, subject to vesting conditions. During the period the deferred shares are held on trust, the senior executive is entitled to vote, receive notices issued to ordinary shareholders and receive dividends. However, the senior executive is not entitled to “deal” in or enter into any transaction designed to remove the “at risk” element of the deferred shares until they vest (eg sale, creation of a security interest or hedge). Vesting is subject to the following: (i) Service condition – continued employment for the two years from the beginning of the financial year in respect of which the grant is made (until 30 June 2014); and (ii) Risk adjustment – any adjustment the board decides to make to take into account the outcomes of business activities, the risks related to the business activities and the time necessary for the outcomes of those business activities to be reliably measured. When the deferred shares vest and are transferred into the name of the senior executive, the senior executive is then free to “deal” in the vested shares. The purpose of the grant is to: (i) Supplement the conservative median base pay positioning of senior executives; (ii) Provide an incentive for the retention of senior executives making the benefit of the grant contingent on a minimum service period; and (iii) Align the experience of senior executives with shareholders in terms of the value of the grant which will be the market value at the time they vest and are transferred to the senior executive. The proportion available under this component will be a third of the amount available for share based payments (other than deferred shares for STI purposes) rather than half under the previous arrangement. (c) FY2013 LTI Grant - performance shares Starting from FY2013, the Company intends to make annual LTI grants to senior executives, rather then multi- tranche grants every 3 years. The first annual LTI grant will be made to senior executives in FY2013. The FY2013 grant of performance shares will be a single tranche with a four year performance period. The 4 year performance period will consist of a 12 month initial performance period for EPS testing (1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013) and a 3 year performance period for relative TSR testing (1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016). • EPS hurdle: The grant may be reduced by 50% at the end of the initial performance period if the earnings per share are not equal to or better than the previous year. • TSR hurdle: During the 3 year TSR performance period, vesting of the performance shares (as adjusted for the EPS performance hurdle) will be conditional on total shareholder return being at least equal to the median performance of a peer group consisting of the ASX100 Companies (excluding property trusts and resources). Median performance will result in 65% of the performance shares vesting, with 100% vesting if the Company’s relative TSR performance is in the 75th percentile or above. - 47 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Meetings of directors Information on board and committee meeting attendance for the year is presented in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Reference Title Summary AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income [AASB 1,5,7,101,112,12 0,121,132,133,1 34,1039, 1049] AASB 119 Employee Benefits Annual Improve- ments 2009- 2011 Cycle **** Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009- 2011 Cycle This Standard requires entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they might be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that will not. The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognised in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10. This standard sets out amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the related bases for conclusions and guidance made during the International Accounting Standards Board’s Annual Improvements process. These amendments have not yet been adopted by the AASB. The following items are addressed by this standard: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ►Repeated application of IFRS 1 ►Borrowing costs IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements ►Clarification of the requirements for comparative information IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment ►Classification of servicing equipment IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation ►Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity instruments IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ►Interim financial reporting and segment information for total assets and liabilities - 59 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Reference Title Summary AASB 2011- 4 AASB 1053 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements [AASB 124] Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards AASB 2012- 2 AASB 2012- 4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Government Loans This Amendment deletes from AASB 124 individual key management personnel disclosure requirements for disclosing entities that are not companies. This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements: (a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards (b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements. The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: (a) For-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this Standard); and (b) The Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments. The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: (a) For-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability; (b) All not-for-profit private sector entities; and (c) Public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments. Consequential amendments to other standards to implement the regime were introduced by AASB 2010-2, 2011-2, 2011-6, 2011-11 and 2012-1. AASB 2012-2 principally amends AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require disclosure of information that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position. AASB 2012-4 adds an exception to the retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards under AASB 1 First- time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards to require that first-time adopters apply the requirements in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (or AASB 9 Financial Instruments) and AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance prospectively to government loans (including those at a below-market rate of interest) existing at the date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards. - 60 - Application date of Standard * 1 July 2013 1 July 2013 Application date for group * 1 July 2013 1 July 2013 Impact on group financial report The group has not yet determined the extent of the impacts of the amendments, if any.

Reference Title Summary AASB 2012- 5 AASB 2012- 3 AASB 2010- 8 AASB 10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle; Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 11 Joint Arrangements repeat application of AASB 1 is permitted AASB 2012-5 makes amendments resulting from the 2009-2011 Annual Improvements Cycle. The Standard addresses a range of improvements, including the following: • (AASB 1); and clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides a third balance sheet (AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements). AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set- off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. These amendments address the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value and introduce a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value should be determined on the basis that the carrying amount will be recoverable through sale. The amendments also incorporate SIC- 21 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into IFRS 112. IFRS 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of IFRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This is likely to lead to more entities being consolidated into the group. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via IFRS 2011-7. IFRS 11 replaces IFRS 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and UIG-113 Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. IFRS 11 uses the principle of control in IFRS 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the group. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via IFRS 2011-7 and amendments to IFRS 128. - 61 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Application date of Standard * 1 January 2013 1 January 2013 Application date for group * 1 July 2013 1 July 2013 Impact on group financial report The group has not yet determined the extent of the impacts of the amendments, if any.

Reference Title Summary AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgments made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non- controlling interests. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted by IFRS. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. IFRS 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via IFRS 2011-8. AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement). It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below. (a) Financial assets that are debit instruments are classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. This replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in AASB 139, each of which had its own classification criteria. (b) AASB 9 allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these - 62 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Reference Title Summary Application date of Standard * Impact on group financial report Application date for group * AASB 9 (contd) Financial Instruments investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. (d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). The remaining change is presented in profit or loss. If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10. * Designates the beginning of the applicable annual reporting period unless otherwise stated *** AASB ED 215 Mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 proposes to defer the mandatory effective date of AASB 9 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with early application permitted **** These IFRS amendments have not yet been adopted by the AASB. In order to claim compliance with IFRS, these amendments should be noted in the financial statements - 63 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 Basis of consolidation SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.3 The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited and all of its controlled entities (“the group”). Interests in joint ventures are equity accounted and are not part of the consolidated group. A controlled entity is any entity (including special purpose entities) over which Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited has the power to govern directly or indirectly decision-making in relation to financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Controlled entities prepare financial reports for consolidation in conformity with group accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. The financial statements of controlled entities are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the group have been eliminated on consolidation. Where a controlled entity has been sold or acquired during the year its operating results have been included to the date control ceased or from the date control was obtained. Investments in subsidiaries held by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited are accounted for at cost in separate financial statements of the parent entity. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Minority interest not held by the group are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the income statement and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. 2.4 Business combinations The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published price at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identifiable net assets and measurement of the net assets acquired. Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Changes in accounting policies 2.5 The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year and corresponding interim period except as follows: The group has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as at 1 July 2011 • • • • • • • • AASB 2009-12 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023, 1031 & Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] AASB 2009-14 Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement AASB 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project AASB 2010-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118,119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140,1023 & 1038 & Interpretations 115,127,132 & 1042] AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (amendment) AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets [AASB 1 and AASB 7] AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 5, 101, 107, 108, 121, 128, 132, 134, Interpretation 2, 112 and 113] - 64 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) When the adoption of the Standard or Interpretation is deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the group, its impact is described below: AASB 124 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures (December 2009) The amendments to AASB 124 simplify the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition, including: (a) The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as related parties of each other; (b) Entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other; and (c) The definition now identifies that, whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other. A partial exemption is also provided from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. Entities that are related by virtue of being controlled by the same government can provide reduced related party disclosures. AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] This amendment makes numerous editorial changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. In particular, it amends AASB 8 Operating Segments to require an entity to exercise judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. It also makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRS by the IASB. AASB 2009-14 Amendments to Australian Accounting Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement arise from the issuance of Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendments to IFRIC 14). The requirements of IFRIC 14 meant that some entities that were subject to minimum funding requirements could not treat any surplus in a defined benefit pension plan as an economic benefit. The amendment requires entities to treat the benefit of such an early payment as a pension asset. Subsequently, the remaining surplus in the plan, if any, is subject to the same analysis as if no prepayment had been made. AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures This standard is as a consequence of phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and FRSB. This standard relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in the following areas: (a) Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; (b) The statutory basis or reporting framework for financial statements; (c) Whether the financial statements are general purpose or special purpose; (d) Audit fees; and (e) Imputation credits. AASB 2010-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project The amendments emphasise the interaction between quantitative and qualitative AASB 7 disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. It clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. It provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in AASB 134 for significant events and transactions. It also clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken into account. AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121,132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRS by the IASB. These amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the amended pronouncements. - 65 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets [AASB 1 & AASB 7] This standard makes amendments to increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. Disclosures require enhancements to the existing disclosure in IFRS 7 where an asset is transferred but is not derecognised and introduce new disclosure for assets that are derecognised but the entity continues to have a continuing exposure to the asset after the sale. AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising form the Trans-Tasman Convergence project This standard makes amendments to many Australian Accounting Standards, removing the disclosures which have been relocated to AASB 1054. - 66 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.6 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions Significant accounting judgments (i) In the process of applying the group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Cash earnings Cash earnings are considered by management as a key indicator representing the performance of the core business activities of the group. The basis for determining cash earnings is the statutory profit after tax, adjusted for specific items after tax, acquired intangibles amortisation after tax and preference share/step up preference share appropriations. Cash earnings have been used in a number of key indicator calculations such as note 8 – earnings per ordinary share and note 10 – return on average ordinary equity. Specific items Specific items are those items that are deemed to be outside of our core activities and such items are not considered to be representative of the group’s ongoing financial performance. Operating Lease Commitments – Group as Lessor The entity has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The entity has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has thus classified the leases as operating leases. Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Securitisations Securitised positions are held through a number of Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”). As the Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risk associated with these SPEs, their underlying assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are reported in the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet and income statement. At each reporting period, the Bank reassesses the requirement to consolidate these SPEs in accordance with AASB 127 and judgment is exercised. (ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives The group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in note 26. Impairment of financial assets and property, plant & equipment The group has to make a judgment as to whether an impairment trigger is evident at each balance date. If a trigger is evident the asset must be tested for impairment, which requires the estimation of future cash flows and the use of an appropriate discount rate. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill The group assess impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves value in use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. Employee benefits (leave provisions) The carrying amount of leave liabilities is calculated based on assumptions and estimates of when employees will take leave and the prevailing wage rates at the time the leave will be taken. Long service leave liability also requires a prediction of the number of employees that will achieve entitlement to long service leave. Superannuation defined benefit plan Various actuarial assumptions are required when determining the group’s superannuation obligations. The bank’s policy on superannuation defined benefit plan is disclosed in Note 2.24 and Note 43. Loan provisioning The group determines whether loans are impaired on an ongoing basis. This requires an estimation of the value of future cash flows. The bank’s policy for calculation of loan loss allowance is disclosed in Note 2.13. 2.7 Comparatives Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. - 67 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Trustee and funds management activities 2.8 Controlled entities of the Bank act as the Trustee and/or Manager for a number of funds. The assets and liabilities of these funds are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The parent entity does not have direct or indirect control of the funds as defined by Accounting Standard AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Commissions and fees generated by the funds management activities are brought to account when earned. Foreign currency transactions and balances 2.9 Both the functional and presentation currency of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited and each of its subsidiaries is Australian dollars (AUD). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling on the date of the transaction. All amounts are expressed in Australian currency and all references to "$" are to Australian dollars unless otherwise stated. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange differences relating to amounts payable and receivable in foreign currencies are brought to account as exchange gains or losses in the income statement in the financial year in which the exchange rates change. 2.10 Cash and cash equivalents Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at nominal value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, short-term money market investments readily convertible into cash within 2 working days, net of outstanding overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are carried at amortised cost. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues. 2.11 Classification of financial instruments Financial instruments in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified into one of five categories, which determine the accounting treatment of the financial instrument. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Designation is re-evaluated at each financial year end, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories. The classifications are: - Loans & receivables - - Held to maturity - - Held for trading - - Available for sale - - Non-trading liabilities - measured at amortised cost measured at amortised cost measured at fair value with changes in fair value charged to the income statement measured at fair value with changes in fair value taken to equity measured at amortised cost All derivative contracts are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet. 2.12 Financial assets and financial liabilities All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading and available-for- sale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the income statement. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date i.e. the date the group settles the purchase of the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component in equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement. Treasury financial assets – held to maturity Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity where the group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held to maturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over the period to maturity. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. Treasury financial liabilities – deposits and subordinated debt All treasury funding instruments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including charges associated with the issue of the instrument. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over the period to maturity. For liabilities carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the instruments are derecognised. Treasury funding instruments that are hedged are treated in accordance with the accounting policy for hedges. Funding instruments that are issued in currencies other than AUD are accounted for at amortised cost. These transactions are restated to AUD equivalents each month with adjustments taken directly to income. - 68 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Financial assets – available for sale share investments Investment securities available for sale consist of securities that are not actively traded by the group. Fair value of quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. If the relevant market is not considered active (or the securities are unlisted), the group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques, including recent arm's length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. Purchases and sales of financial assets and liabilities that require delivery of assets/securities within the time frame, and generally established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the settlement date i.e. the date that the group receives or pays the principal sum. 2.13 Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate calculation includes the contractual terms of loans together with all fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts. Loans with renegotiated terms are accounted for in the same manner, taking account of any change to the terms of the loan. All loans are subject to continuous management review to assess whether there is any objective evidence that any loan or group of loans is impaired. Impairment loss is measured as the difference between the loan's carrying amount and the value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Deferred costs include costs associated with the acquisition, origination or securitisation of loan portfolios. These costs are amortised through the income statement over the life of the loans in these portfolios. Specific provision A specific provision is recognised for all impaired loans when there is reasonable doubt over the collectability of principal and interest in accordance with the loan agreement. All bad debts are written off against the specific provision in the period in which they are classified as not recoverable. The provision is determined by specific identification or by estimation of expected losses in relation to loan portfolios where specific identification is impractical, based on historical impairment experience for these portfolios. These portfolios include unsecured credit cards, overdrawn accounts and personal loans, unsecured mortgage loans (property realisation shortfalls) where provisions are calculated based on historical loss experience. Collective provision Individual loans not subject to specific provisioning are grouped together according to their risk characteristics and are then assessed for impairment. Based on historical loss data and current available information for assets with similar risk characteristics, the appropriate collective provision is raised. Adjustments to the collective provision are recognised in the income statement. General reserve for credit losses Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) requires that banks maintain a general reserve for credit losses to cover risks inherent in loan portfolios. In certain circumstances the collective provision can be included in this assessment. Movements in the general reserve for credit losses are recognised as an appropriation of retained earnings. 2.14 Investments in joint ventures accounted for using the equity method The group's investment in joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. These are entities in which the group has significant influence and is not a subsidiary. The financial statements of joint ventures are used by the group to apply the equity method. The accounting policies of the joint ventures and the group are consistent. The investments in the joint ventures are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the group's share of the results of operations of the joint ventures, less any impairment in value. The income statement reflects the share of the results of operations of the joint ventures. Where there have been changes recognised directly in the joint ventures’ equity, the group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The cumulative post acquisition changes in reserves are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from joint ventures are recognised in the parent entity’s income statement, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any unsecured long-term receivables and loans, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. - 69 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.15 Property, plant & equipment Cost and valuation Plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Land is measured at fair value. Buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: Asset category Freehold buildings Leasehold improvements Plant & equipment 2012 Years 40 3 - 10 2 - 10 2011 Years 40 3 – 10 2 – 10 Impairment Management has identified cash generating units and applicable impairment indicators in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless they relate to revalued assets. Impairment losses of revalued assets are recognised in the revaluation reserve. Revaluations Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction as at the valuation date. Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the statement of comprehensive income and the equity section of the balance sheet unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the income statement. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the income statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset recognised in the asset revaluation reserve. An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve is made to retained earnings for the depreciation relating to the revaluation surplus. In addition, any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being disposed is transferred to retained earnings. The fair value of property, plant and equipment is assessed at each reporting date. Also, external valuations are performed every three years (or more often if circumstances require) ensuring that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the asset's fair value at the balance sheet date. Derecognition An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the year the item is derecognised. 2.16 Assets held for sale Assets are classified as held for sale, when their carrying amounts are expected to be recovered principally through sale within twelve months. They are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, unless the nature of the assets requires they be measured in line with another accounting standard. Assets classified as held for sale are neither amortised nor depreciated. - 70 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 2.17 Investment properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an investment property at the time the cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, fair value is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows of the portfolio, taking account of the restrictions on the ability to realise the investment property due to contractual obligations. Assumptions used in the modelling of future cash flows are sourced from market indexes of property values and long term growth/discount rates appropriate to residential property. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in profit and loss in the year in which they arise. Goodwill 2.18 Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Management has identified cash generating units and applicable impairment indicators in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. Goodwill with respect to business combinations is allocated to identify cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount, which includes the allocated goodwill, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, with the goodwill being impaired first. Impairment losses of goodwill are not subsequently reversed. Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. 2.19 Intangible assets Acquired both separately and from a business combination Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost and from a business combination are capitalised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets. The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the income statement. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, and in the case of indefinite useful life intangibles, annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. The only intangible asset with an indefinite useful life currently carried by the group is the trustee licence relating to Sandhurst Trustees Limited. Computer software Computer software, other than software that is an integral part of the computer hardware, is capitalised as intangible software and amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. Research and development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when it is probable the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the group. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure carried forward is amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project or expected useful life. The carrying value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use, or more frequently when an indicator of impairment arises during the reporting period indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable. - 71 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) A summary of the policies applied to the group's intangible assets (excluding goodwill) is as follows: Trustee Licence Computer software/ Development costs Intangible assets acquired in business combination Useful lives Method used Indefinite Not amortised or revalued Finite Usually not in excess of 5 years – straight line (major software systems – 7 years) Finite Amortised to reflect period and pattern of economic benefits Internally generated/acquired Acquired Internally generated or acquired Acquired Impairment test/recoverable amount testing Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists Annually and where an indicator of impairment exists Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement where the asset is derecognised. 2.20 Trade and other payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. Payables to related parties are carried at the amortised cost. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised on an effective interest rate basis. Deferred cash settlements are recognised at the present value of the outstanding consideration payable on the acquisition of an asset discounted at prevailing commercial borrowing rates. Interest, when charged on payables to related parties, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. 2.21 Reserve fund Up until May 2010, the Trustee Companies Act 1984 required that a reserve fund be maintained to provide for the event of the appointment of a liquidator, a receiver and manager or an administrator of a trustee company. Sandhurst Trustees Limited complied with the Act by setting aside the value of at call investments, freehold property and other financial assets to a reserve fund. Deposits 2.22 All deposits and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised and as well as through the amortisation process. 2.23 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events, and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre- tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. A provision for dividend is not recognised as a liability unless the dividend is declared, determined or publicly recommended on or before the reporting date. - 72 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.24 Employee benefits Wages and Salaries, Annual leave and Sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries have been recognised and measured as the amount which the group has a present obligation to pay, at balance date, in respect of employees' service up to that date. Liabilities have been calculated at nominal amounts based on wage and salary rates current at balance date and include related on-costs. Wages and salaries liabilities are recognised in payables. Annual leave liabilities are accrued on the basis of full pro rata entitlement at their nominal amounts, being the amounts estimated to apply when the leave is paid. Sick leave bonus liability has been calculated at balance date in accordance with the relevant group policy, which provides entitlement dependent on an individual employees’ years of service and unused sick leave. Long Service Leave Long service leave has been assessed at full pro rata entitlement in respect of all employees with more than one year’s service. The amount provided meets the requirement of Accounting Standard AASB 119 Employee Benefits, which requires the assessment of the likely number of employees that will ultimately be entitled to long service leave, the estimated salary rates that will apply when the leave is paid, discounted to take account of the time value of money. Annual leave, sick leave and long service leave liabilities are recognised in provisions. Superannuation Accumulation fund Contributions are made to an employee accumulation superannuation fund and are charged to expenses when incurred. Defined benefit plan Contributions made to the defined benefit plan by entities within the consolidated entity are added to the superannuation asset in the balance sheet. Any actuarial gains or losses are applied to the retained earnings with other fund movements being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 2.25 Share based payments The group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares, rights or options over shares. There are a number of plans in place to provide these benefits: 1. the Employee Share Plan (“ESP”), which provides benefits only to the general staff. Executives (including the managing director) may not participate in it. Under the terms of the ESP, shares are issued at the prevailing market value at the time of the issues. The shares must be paid for by the staff member. The ESP provides staff members with an interest-free loan for the sole purpose of acquiring Bendigo and Adelaide Bank shares. Dividends paid on shares issued under the plan are applied primarily to repay the loans. Staff cannot deal in the shares until the loan has been repaid. The unpaid portion of the issued shares, reflected in the outstanding balance of interest-free loans advanced to employees, is accounted for as ESP shares. The outstanding loan value of the ESP shares is deducted from equity in the balance sheet. The cost of issues under the plan is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Shares granted under the ESP, vest immediately and are expensed to the Income Statement with the employee benefits reserve increasing by a corresponding amount. The last issue under this plan was made in January 2008. 2. the Employee Share Grant Scheme This Plan was introduced in 2008 and is open to employees (excluding directors and senior executives) of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and its subsidiaries. Employees may be granted shares annually up to a maximum number determined by the directors having regard to the Bank’s performance. When an eligible employee accepts an invitation to participate in the Scheme, the trustee of the Scheme will acquire shares on behalf of the employee and hold the shares on trust for the employee. Three years after the trustee acquires the shares, they will be transferred to the employee. The cost of issues under the Scheme is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Shares granted under the Scheme vest immediately and are expensed to the Income Statement with the employee benefits reserve increasing by a corresponding amount. - 73 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3. Employee Salary Sacrifice, Deferred Share and Performance Share Plan This Plan was introduced in September 2008 as the Employee Salary Sacrifice and Deferred Share Plan, as a vehicle for employees to purchase shares in the Bank via salary sacrifice. It was amended in August 2009 to allow for the grant of performance shares. Performance shares may be granted to any person employed by or on behalf of a group company who the board decides are eligible to receive grants. The employee will not have beneficial title to the underlying shares until the relevant performance conditions have been met. The shares will be held by a trustee until that time. The cost of equity-settled transactions under this Plan is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined with the assistance of an external valuer using a binomial model. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase to employee benefits reserve, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant executive becomes fully entitled to the award. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. 4. The Executive Incentive Plan (“EIP”), which provides for grants of performance options and rights to key executives, including the managing director (discontinued). Under the EIP, eligible executives are granted options and performance rights subject to performance conditions set by the board. If the performance conditions are satisfied during the relevant performance period, the options and performance rights will vest. The cost of these equity-settled transactions under the EIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined with the assistance of an external valuer using a binomial model. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase to employee benefits reserve, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant executive becomes fully entitled to the award. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. 2.26 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is/or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses over the period of the lease on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit. The group has no leases deemed to be finance leases where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities within the group. 2.27 Financial guarantees Bank guarantees have been issued by the bank on behalf of customers whereby the bank is required to make specified payments to reimburse the holders for a loss they may incur because the customer fails to make a payment. The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. In order to estimate the fair value under this approach the following assumptions have been made: • • • Probability of default (PD): This represents the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a 1 year period and is assessed on historical default rates. Loss given default (LGD): This represents the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered in the event of a default by the guaranteed party and is based on historical experience. Exposure to default (EAD): This represents the maximum loss that Bendigo and Adelaide Bank is exposed to if the guaranteed party were to default. The model assumes that the guaranteed loan/facility/contract is at maximum possible exposure at the time of default. The value of the financial guarantee over each future year of the guarantees’ life is then equal to PD x LGD x EAD, which is discounted over the contractual term of the guarantee, to reporting date to determine the fair value. The discount rate adopted is the five year Commonwealth government bond yield at 30 June. The contractual term of the guarantee matches the underlying obligations to which it relates. As guarantees issued by the bank are fully secured and the bank has therefore never incurred a loss in relation to financial guarantees, the LGD (proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered) is zero. This results in the fair value of financial guarantees to be zero. Therefore, the fair value of financial guarantees has not been included in the balance sheet. The nominal value of financial guarantees is disclosed in the “Contingent liabilities” note of this financial report. - 74 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.28 Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised. Interest, fees and commissions Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained. Interest, fee and commission revenue is brought to account on an accruals basis. Interest is accrued using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument. Loan origination and loan application fees Loan origination and application fees are recognised as components of the calculation of the effective interest rate method in relation to originated loans. They therefore affect the interest recognised in relation to this portfolio of loans. The average life and interest recognition pattern of loans in the relevant loan portfolios is reviewed annually to ensure the amortisation methodology for loan origination fees is appropriate. Unearned income Unearned income on the group's personal lending and leasing is brought to account over the life of the contracts on an actuarial basis. Loan portfolio premium The loan portfolio premium is included as part of net loans and receivables in the balance sheet. The amortisation of the loan portfolio premium is charged to the income statement on an effective yield basis and is included in net interest income. Day 1 Profit Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different to the fair value from other observable market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets, the Bank immediately recognises the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a 'Day 1' profit) in the income statement in 'Other income'. Dividends Dividends are recognised when control of a right to receive consideration for the investment in assets is established. 2.29 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred unless they are incurred in relation to qualifying assets. Borrowing costs for qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. 2.30 Income tax The income tax for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate, adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses. The group has adopted the balance sheet liability method of tax effect accounting, which focuses on the tax effects of transactions and other events that affect amounts recognised in either the balance sheet or a tax-based balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences, except where the deferred tax asset/liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax balances are reviewed annually to determine whether they should be recognised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 2.31 Goods and services tax (“GST”) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. - 75 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.32 Derecognition of financial instruments The derecognition of a financial instrument takes place when the group no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed through to an independent third party. 2.33 Derivative financial instruments The group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows associated with the swaps. Discount rates are determined by reference to swap curves available through independent market data providers. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability, or cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a forecasted transaction. In relation to fair value hedges which meet the conditions for hedge accounting, any gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised immediately in the income statement. Any gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk on remeasurement of the hedged item is adjusted against the carrying amount of the hedged item and recognised in the income statement. Where the adjustment is to the carrying amount of a hedged interest- bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortised to the income statement such that it is fully amortised by maturity. In relation to cash flow hedges, to hedge firm commitments which meet the conditions for hedge accounting, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity and the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. The group tests each of the designated cash flow hedges for effectiveness on a monthly basis both retrospectively and prospectively using regression analysis. A minimum of 30 data points is used for regression analysis and if the testing falls within the 80:125 range the hedge is considered highly effective and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. When the hedged firm commitment results in the recognition of an asset or liability, then, at the time the asset or liability is recognised, the associated gains or losses that had previously been recognised in equity are included in the initial measurement of the acquisition cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability. For all other cash flow hedges, the gains or losses that are recognised in equity are transferred to the income statement in the same year in which the hedged firm commitment affects the net profit and loss, for example when the future sale actually occurs. For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to net profit or loss for the year. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is kept in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the year. 2.34 Issued ordinary capital Issued and paid up ordinary capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs (net of any tax benefit) arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. 2.35 Hybrid capital instruments Perpetual non-cumulative redeemable convertible preference shares Preference capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs (net of any tax benefit) arising on the issue of preference shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. Dividends on the shares are recognised as a distribution of equity. Reset preference shares These instruments are classified as debt within the balance sheet and distributions to the holders are treated as interest expense in the income statement. Step up preference shares These instruments are classified as equity and the dividends are recognised as a distribution of equity. - 76 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.36 Earnings per ordinary share (EPS) Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude cost of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for: • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Cash basis EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for: • • • after tax intangibles amortisation (except intangible software amortisation); after tax specific income and expense items; and costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. - 77 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 3. SEGMENT RESULTS Segment information The group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified according to the nature of products and services provided and the key delivery channels, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers a different delivery method and/or different products and services. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the executive management team on a monthly basis. Segment assets and liabilities reflect the value of loans and deposits directly managed by the operating segment. All other assets of the group are managed centrally. Types of products and services Retail banking Net interest income predominantly derived from the provision of first mortgage finance less interest paid to depositors; and fee income from the provision of banking services delivered through the company-owned branch network and the group's share of net interest and fee income from the Community Bank branch network. As of 1 March 2012, Bank of Cyprus Australia has been included in the retail banking segment. Third party banking Net interest income and fees derived from the manufacture and processing of residential home loans, distributed through mortgage brokers, mortgage managers and predominantly mortgage originators and Alliance partners. Wealth Fees, commissions and interest from the provision of financial planning services, wealth management and margin lending activities, less interest paid to depositors referred by our wealth partners. Commission received as Responsible Entity for managed investment schemes and for corporate trusteeships and other trustee and custodial services. Rural Bank The principal activities of Rural Bank are the provision of banking services to agribusiness, rural and regional Australian communities. Central functions Functions not relating directly to a reportable operating segment. Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions The accounting policies used by the group in the reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in note 2 of the accounts. Revenue and expenses associated with each business segment are included in determining their result. Transactions between business segments are based on agreed recharges between operating segments. Segment net interest income is recognised based on an internally set transfer pricing policy based on pre-determined market rates of return on the assets and liabilities of the segment. These rates are reset at the beginning of each reporting period and applied throughout that period. It is likely that rates will be reset for the 2013 financial year; however this is subject to a management review. Management use these apportionments to assess relative performance between operating segments rather than absolute assessments of year on year performance. Major customers Revenues from no individual customer amount to greater than 10% of the group's revenues. - 78 - Total $m 944.1 281.1 0.7 1,225.9 751.7 32.4 - 24.5 0.7 25.2 14.2 - 11.0 441.8 Total $m 935.2 294.8 3.4 1,233.4 735.5 44.2 - 42.7 3.4 46.1 15.7 - 30.4 453.7 BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SEGMENT RESULTS (continued) For the year ended 30 June 2012 Operating segments Retail Third party banking $m banking $m Wealth $m Rural Bank $m Total operating segments $m Central functions $m Net interest income Other income Share of net profit of equity accounted investments Total segment income Operating expenses Credit expenses Segment result 534.6 178.2 - 712.8 550.5 13.8 148.5 214.2 25.0 79.9 47.7 - - 115.4 5.7 - 944.1 256.6 - 239.2 127.6 121.1 1,200.7 64.7 6.2 168.3 71.3 0.4 55.9 51.0 12.0 58.1 737.5 32.4 430.8 For the year ended 30 June 2011 Operating segments Retail Third party banking $m banking $m Wealth $m Rural Bank $m Total operating segments $m Central functions $m Net interest income Other income Share of net profit of equity accounted investments Total segment income Operating expenses Credit expenses Segment result 516.3 172.3 - 688.6 530.4 12.2 146.0 201.0 102.5 115.4 27.5 45.9 - - 6.4 - 935.2 252.1 - 228.5 148.4 121.8 1,187.3 67.6 1.1 76.4 (0.1) 159.8 72.1 45.4 31.0 45.4 719.8 44.2 423.3 Reportable segment assets As at 30 June 2012 As at 30 June 2011 Reportable segment liabilities As at 30 June 2012 As at 30 June 2011 Operating segments Retail Third party banking $m 26,419.3 23,428.5 banking $m 16,112.3 15,728.2 Wealth $m 2,408.0 3,208.1 Rural Bank $m 3,983.9 4,024.8 Total operating segments $m 48,923.5 46,389.6 Central functions $m 8,314.3 8,614.9 Total $m 57,237.8 55,004.5 31,916.1 27,966.5 517.9 489.7 5,025.4 4,880.8 3,472.2 3,595.6 40,931.6 36,932.6 5,677.5 5,658.1 46,609.1 42,590.7 - 79 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SEGMENT RESULTS (continued) Reconciliation between segment and statutory results The table below reconciles the segment result back to the relevant statutory result presented in the financial report.

Tax consolidation Effective 1 July 2002, for the purposes of income taxation, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited and its 100% owned subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the group entered into a tax sharing agreement to allocate income tax liabilities to the wholly-owned subsidiaries should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At the balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited formally notified the Australian Tax Office of its adoption of the tax consolidation regime upon the lodgement of its 2003 income tax return. Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group on a group allocation method based on a notional standalone calculation, while deferred taxes are calculated by members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with AASB112 Income Taxes. The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries inter- company accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited. The tax funding agreement is in accordance with AASB Interpretation 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting (UIG 1052). Where the tax funding agreement is not in accordance with UIG 1052, the difference between the current tax amount that is allocated under the tax funding agreement and the amount that is allocated under an acceptable method is recognised as a contribution/distribution in the subsidiaries' equity accounts. Tax consolidation outcomes During the year, retrospective amendments to tax consolidation legislation came into effect which impact the group. The outcomes of these changes have resulted in a debit to income tax expense of $6.7m (2011: nil). Taxation of Financial Arrangements (“TOFA”) The new taxing regime for financial instruments (TOFA) began to apply to the Tax Consolidated group on 1 July 2010. The regime aims to align the tax and accounting treatment of financial arrangements. The Tax Consolidated group made a transitional election to bring pre-existing arrangements into TOFA. The deferred tax in relation to the transitional adjustment that this created is being amortised equally over the 2011 to 2014 years. - 85 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 7. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT a. Capital management Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited key capital management objectives are to: • Maintain a sufficient level of capital above the regulatory minimum to provide a buffer against loss arising from unanticipated events, and allow the group to continue as a going concern; • • • Optimise the level and use of capital resources to enhance shareholder value through maximising financial performance; Ensure that capital management is closely aligned with the group’s business and strategic objectives; and Achieve progressive improvement to short and long term credit ratings. The group manages capital adequacy according to the framework provided by the APRA Prudential Standards. Capital adequacy is measured at two levels: • Level 1 includes Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited and certain controlled entities that meet the APRA definition of extended licensed entities; and • Level 2 consists of the consolidated group, excluding non-controlled subsidiaries and subsidiaries involved in insurance, funds management, non-financial operations and securitisation special purpose vehicles. APRA determines minimum prudential capital ratios (eligible capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets) that must be held by all authorised deposit-taking institutions. Accordingly, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited is required to maintain a minimum prudential capital ratio (eligible capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets) at both Level 1 and Level 2 as determined by APRA. As part of the group’s capital management process, the board considers the group’s strategy, financial performance objectives, credit ratings and other factors relating to the efficient management of capital in setting target ratios of capital above the regulatory required levels. These processes are formalised within the group’s internal capital adequacy assessment process (or ICAAP). The group has adopted the Prudential Capital Adequacy Standardised Approach to credit risk, operational risk and market risk, which requires the group to determine capital requirements based on standards set by APRA. The group has satisfied the minimum capital requirements at Levels 1 and 2 throughout the 2011/12 financial year. APRA has defined two broad categories of capital, and the form and substance of their components must meet APRA’s specific requirements in order to be eligible for inclusion in the group’s capital base. Tier 1 capital comprises the highest quality components of capital, and Tier 2 includes other components of lesser quality, but which still contribute to the overall strength of the group as a going concern. At least half of the group’s eligible capital must be held in the form of Tier 1 capital. - 86 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued) b.

The Bank holds income and capital units in the Trusts at nominal values, which entitles the Bank to receive excess income, if any, generated by the securitised assets, while the capital units receive upon termination of the Trusts any residual capital value. Fees are received for various services provided to the Trusts on an arms length basis, including the servicing fee and management fees and are reported in the Income Statement. As the value of fees and excess income is influenced by the financial performance of the Trusts, the Bank has determined that substantially all of the risks and rewards of these securitised loan portfolios have been retained and consequently, the loans have not been derecognised. Securitised mortgage loans totalling $11,531.8 million (2011: $13,366.2 million) are reported in loans and receivables of the parent entity. Investors in the Trusts have no recourse against the Bank if cash flows from the securitised loans are inadequate to service the obligations of the Trusts. 19.

The customer list has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using a method that reflects the pattern of the economic benefits of the asset over a period of 5 years. Computer software includes internally developed software and software that is not an integral part of the related hardware. Intangible software is capitalised at cost and is amortised over the assessed useful life of the asset on a straight line basis. This is generally a period of between 2.5 years and 7 years (major software items). The carrying value of internally developed software is tested annually for impairment, using estimates of future cash flows over the assets remaining useful life. - 101 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (continued) Other intangible assets acquired through the business combinations with Adelaide Bank Limited and Rural Bank Limited, include trade name, customer relationship, management rights and core deposits. These assets have been capitalised at fair value and are amortised to reflect the period and pattern of economic benefit. Impairment testing is completed annually on these assets, and if impairment indicators are met, the assets are written down to recoverable amounts. Indefinite useful life The trustee licence represents an intangible asset purchased through the effect of a business combination (Sandhurst Trustees Limited). The useful life of this asset has been estimated as indefinite and the cost method is utilised for measurement. The asset is assessed as having an indefinite life as the authorisation for Sandhurst Trustees Limited to trade as a trustee company has no end period. Revocation of the authority is unlikely and would occur only in the event of non-compliance with conditions under which authorisation is granted. Sandhurst Trustees Limited has specific compliance procedures in place to ensure these conditions are met. Goodwill The goodwill items represent intangible assets purchased through the effect of business combinations. For intangible assets that have definite life, impairment testing is only required at each reporting date where there is an indication of an impairment. For intangible assets that have indefinite life, impairment testing is required at least annually. 26. IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES WITH INDEFINITE LIVES Goodwill acquired through business combinations is initially measured at its cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited interest in the net fair value of all subsidiaries’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. For the half year ended 31 December 2011 there were a number of indicators that suggested that impairment testing was required. As such, testing occurred and an impairment loss of $95.1 million was recorded as at 31 December 2011 against the Wealth cash-generating unit. Allocation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and intangible assets do not generate cash flows independently of other assets or groups of assets, and often contributes to the cash flows of multiple cash-generating units. Therefore the accounting standard allows companies to aggregate cash-generating units (“CGU”) and test goodwill for impairment at relatively higher levels than is the case of other assets. Amortisation and Impairment Charge – Intangible Assets with Finite Lives All the intangible assets other than goodwill and trustee licence have been assessed as having finite lives in the ranges as follows: Category Core Deposit Trade name Customer Relationship Management Rights Useful Life 2 – 10 years 5 – 15 years 7 – 12 years 15 years Impairment Review Methodologies – Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives Impairment testing for goodwill and intangible assets is performed by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU grouping to which the goodwill and intangible assets have been allocated with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. (i) Fair Value Method In the goodwill impairment review model, fair value less costs to sell is calculated by multiplying the CGU’s projected after tax cash flows for 2012/2013 (adjusted for specific items) by 12. In order to determine the appropriate multiple, consideration is given to recent similar transactions that may have occurred. A review is performed over earnings multiples across similar sectors over the last five years as well as current market conditions. Management consider that an earnings multiple of 12 is appropriate for each for the groups identified CGU’s. - 102 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES WITH INDEFINITE LIVES (continued) (ii) Value in Use Method Value in use recoverable amount calculation is based on 5 years’ forecasted after tax cash flows for the CGU, discounted back to the present value using an appropriate discount rate, plus a terminal value. The discount rate applied to the cash flows projection is 9.37%. Management believe this discount rate is appropriate based on current market risk free rate, company specific beta and market risk premium. Terminal value for value in use method is calculated by discounting the fifth year’s earning by the discount factor (i.e. 9.37% minus long term growth rate i.e. 3%). Long term growth rates of 3% have been used. The 5 years’ forecasted after tax cash flows of each CGU is based on management’s expectation of group strategy and future trends in the industry. The below table represents the growth assumptions adopted for the retail CGU which uses the value in use methodology for the 2012/13 year and is based on the financial forecast approved by the board: CGU Retail 2013/14 4.0% 2014/15 6.8% 2015/16 6.8% 2016/17 6.8% Profit Growth Rate Long term growth rate 3.0% The 2012/13 forecasted after tax cash flows are based on the financial forecast approved by the board. For impairment review purposes, no impairment loss is required to be made if the CGU’s recoverable amount is above the CGU’s net asset carrying amount under either of the fair value and value in use tests. Based on the fair value or value in use tests results, no further impairment loss is required to be made for any of the CGU’s as at 30 June 2012. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units. For goodwill allocation, the cash generating units identified represent the core business operations of the group as follows: Retail The provision of retail banking products and services delivered through the company-owned branch network and the group’s share of net interest and fee income from the Community Bank® branch network and includes the Bank of Cyprus Australia. Third Party The provision of residential home loans, distributed through mortgage brokers, mortgage managers, mortgage originators and alliance partners. Wealth The provision of financial planning services, margin lending activities and wealth deposits. Commissions are received as the responsible entity for managed investment schemes and for corporate trusteeships and other trustee and custodial services. Rural Bank The provision of banking services to agribusiness, rural and regional Australian communities.

This provision will only be utilised if: (a) employees instruct the administrator of the plan to sell their shares in settlement of the employee loan relating to those shares: and, (b) at the time of the sale the market price of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited shares is below the outstanding value of those shares in the loan account. (2) The provision for rewards program is to recognise the liability to customers in relation to points earned by them under the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Rewards Program and is measured on the basis of full value of points outstanding at balance date. As reward points "expire" after three years, the balance will be utilised, or forfeited within a three year period. (3) The provision for property rent is to recognise the difference between actual property rent paid and the property rent expense recognised in the income statement. The value recognised in the income statement is in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 117 "Leases" whereby the lease expense is to be recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The provision is expected to be utilised over the period of the respective leases, typically a period between three and ten years. However, it is expected that a balance will continue as old leases expire and are replaced by new leases. (4) The provision for dividends represents the residual carried forward balance in relation to ordinary shareholders that participate in the dividend reinvestment plan. It is expected that the current balance will be utilised within a 12 month period. However, an ongoing balance will continue unless all outstanding balances are paid to shareholders upon ceasing participation in the dividend reinvestment plan. The provision also includes accrued dividends relating to preference shares. (5) The provision for uninsured losses represents the expected loss in relation to fraud not covered under insurance contracts.

SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS Salary Sacrifice, Deferred Share and Performance Share Plan (Current) The Company has established an Employee Salary Sacrifice, Deferred Share and Performance Share Plan (the “Plan”). In 2009 the board approved changes to the Plan rules to enable the Plan to be used as the vehicle for senior executive (including the Managing Director) long term incentive arrangements. The changes provide for grants of Performance Shares to the managing director, other senior executives and senior management (the “Participants”) and to include rules to allow the board to set performance conditions and to determine when those performance conditions have been met and the Performance Shares vest. Under the Plan, the Participants have been granted performance shares subject to performance conditions set by the board. If the performance conditions are satisfied during the relevant performance period, the performance shares will vest. The performance conditions and performance periods for grants under the Plan are set out in the 2012 Remuneration Report. Each performance share represents an entitlement to one fully-paid ordinary share in the company. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired by the Participants is equal to the number of performance shares granted. Performance shares are granted at no cost to Participants. The Plan rules provide that the board may determine that a price is payable upon exercise of an exercisable performance share. The board has determined that no exercise price will apply to exercisable performance shares. The number of performance shares granted to Participants is based on the value of each performance share. The assessed fair value of each performance share granted under the Plan are set out in the tables presented at note 37 and prior year remuneration reports. The Participants are entitled to vote and to receive any dividend, bonus issue, return of capital or other distribution made in respect of shares they are allocated on vesting and exercise of their performance shares. The grants are subject to a dealing restriction. The Participants are not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise deal with any shares allocated to them until 2 years after the end of the initial performance period. The first grant was made under the Plan to Participants in December 2009 with subsequent grants made in October 2010, December 2010 and September 2011. The grants were made in accordance with the terms disclosed in the Remuneration Report and were valued and expensed in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. The expense recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed in note 36. The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of and movements in performance shares issued during the year. Outstanding at the beginning of the year Granted during the year Forfeited during the year Vested / Exercised during the year Expired during the year Outstanding at the end of the year 2012 No. 877,560 110,201 - (210,864) (189,567) 587,330 2012 WAEP $0.00 $0.00 - $0.00 - $0.00 2011 No. 913,263 374,050 - (409,753) - 877,560 2011 WAEP $0.00 $0.00 - $0.00 - $0.00 The outstanding balance as at 30 June 2012 is represented by 587,330 performance shares over ordinary shares with an exercise price of nil, each exercisable upon meeting the above conditions, and until 2014. The weighted average fair value of performance shares granted during the year was $7.50 (2011: $7.70). The fair value of the performance shares granted under the Plan takes into account the terms and conditions upon which the performance shares were granted.

The Plan provides for grants of options and performance rights (“Instruments”) to the Managing Director and other senior executives. Under the Plan, senior executives were granted options and performance rights subject to performance conditions set by the board. If the performance conditions are satisfied during the relevant performance period, the options and performance rights will vest. The Plan has been discontinued and replaced by the new arrangement involving grants of performance shares under the Employee Salary Sacrifice, Deferred Share and Performance Share Plan as described above. The performance conditions and performance periods for grants under the Plan are set out in the 2012 Remuneration Report. Each option and performance right represents an entitlement to one ordinary share in the company. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired by key executives is equal to the number of options and performance rights issued. Options and performance rights are granted at no cost to the senior executives. The Plan rules provide that the board may determine that a price is payable upon exercise of an option or exercisable performance right. The exercise price for options will generally be the market price of the shares at the grant date, and no exercise price will apply to exercisable performance rights. The number of options and performance rights granted to the senior executives is based on the value of each option and performance right. The assessed fair value of each option and each performance right granted under the Plan are set out in prior year remuneration reports. Senior executives are entitled to vote and to receive any dividend, bonus issue, return of capital or other distribution made in respect of shares they are allocated on vesting and exercise of their performance rights and options, as applicable. The grants are subject to a dealing restriction. Senior executives are not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise deal with the shares allocated to them until 2 years after the end of the initial performance period. The last grant made under the Plan to senior executives of the group was in November 2008. The grant was in accordance with the terms disclosed in the 2012 Remuneration Report and the grants made under the Plan were valued and expensed in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of and movements in performance options issued during the year.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was nil as the Plan was discontinued and no grants were made under the Plan (2011: $0.00). - 112 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued) The fair value of the performance options and performance rights granted under the Plan takes into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The fair value is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes – Merton Option Pricing Model incorporating a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model to estimate the probability of achieving the TSR hurdle and the number of options vesting. There have been no grants since 2008. The expected life of the share rights and options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of shares granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value. Employee Share Plan (Current) The Bank established a new loan-based limited recourse Employee Share Plan (“Plan”) in 2006. The Plan is substantially the same as the legacy plan (employee share ownership plan) that was in place from 1995 to 2006. However, the new Plan is only available to general staff. Executives (including the Managing Director) may not participate in it. Under the terms of the Plan, shares are issued at the prevailing market value. The shares must be paid for by the staff member. The Plan provides staff members with an interest-free loan for the sole purpose of acquiring Plan shares. Net cash dividends after personal income tax obligations are applied to reduce the loan balance and staff cannot deal in the shares until the loan has been repaid. The primary benefit under the terms of the Plan is the financial benefit of the limited recourse interest-free loan. The first issue to general staff under this plan was completed in September 2006. A grant to Community Bank® employees was made in December 2007. There have been no further issues under this Plan. Share issues under the Plan are valued and expensed in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. The expense recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed on the following page. The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of and movements in Plan shares (including the employee share ownership plan) during the year. Outstanding at the beginning of the year Granted during the year Forfeited during the year Exercised during the year Expired during the year Outstanding at the end of the year 2012 No. 4,187,187 - - (503,975) - 3,683,212 2012 WAEP $5.87 - - $6.53 - $5.78 2011 No. 4,340,147 - - (152,960) - 4,187,187 2011 WAEP $6.38 - - $7.66 - $5.87 Exercisable at the end of the year 3,683,212 $5.78 4,187,187 $5.87 The outstanding balance as at 30 June 2012 is represented by 3,683,212 ordinary shares with a market value at 30 June 2012 of $7.41 each (value: $27,292,601), exercisable upon repayment of the employee loans. The acquisition price of shares granted during the year was nil as no new shares have been issued since December 2007. The acquisition price for shares issued under the Plan is calculated using the volume weighted average share price of the company’s shares traded on the ASX in the 7 days trading ending one calendar week before the invitation date. The fair value of the shares granted under the Plan is estimated as at the date of each grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the shares were granted. The fair value is determined by independent valuation. The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of shares granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value. The exercise price of the shares issued will reduce over time as dividends are applied to repay the staff loans. - 113 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued) Employee Share Plan (Current) cont’d.

This cost is then tax-effected at the company tax rate of 30% (2011: 30%). Earnings per ordinary share - adjusted is calculated by adding the after tax indicative cost of funding employee loans to profit available for distribution to ordinary shareholders. This adjusted earnings figure is divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. (1) The EPS analysis relates to shares issued under the Company’s current and legacy employee share plans. Share Grant Scheme (Current) The Company has established a tax-exempt Employee Share Grant Scheme (“ESGS”) as the main equity participation platform for general employees. Shareholder approval for future grants under the ESGS was obtained at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. The ESGS is open to all full-time and permanent part-time staff in the group (excluding Directors and Senior Executives) who can elect to acquire fully paid ordinary shares. It is/was intended that grants under the ESGS would be made annually subject to board discretion and having regard to company performance. Employees will generally be entitled to participate in rights attached to the shares including to receive dividends and to vote at general meetings. The shares are restricted for 3 years unless the employee leaves the Company. The first grant to general employees was made in January 2009 with 764,504 fully paid ordinary shares being issued at $10.78. A second grant to general employees was made in March 2010 with 340,039 fully paid ordinary shares being issued at $10.03 and a third grant to general employees was made in February 2011 with 327,233 fully paid ordinary shares being issued at $9.78. The issue price is the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded over the 5 days prior to the issue. The share issues were valued and expensed in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. The expense recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed on the previous page. As at 30 June 2012 there were 584,946 fully paid ordinary shares held by the Plan Trustee. - 114 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued) Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Employee Share Ownership Plan (Discontinued) The Company discontinued in 2006 the existing loan-based Employee Share Ownership Plan (“Plan”) that was open to all employees in the group, including the Managing Director and senior executives. The Plan will continue as a legacy plan until such time as the loans provided to fund share purchases under the Plan have been repaid. There have been no issues of shares under this Plan since November 2004. Shares were issued under the Plan at market value. The terms of the Plan are consistent with the Share Ownership Plan described earlier. The Plan provides staff members with an interest-free loan for the sole purpose of acquiring Plan shares. Staff cannot deal in the shares until the loan has been repaid. The primary benefit under the terms of the Plan is the financial benefit of the limited recourse interest-free loan. The loan will be repayable progressively out of after tax dividends (if any) paid on the shares and the sale of unexercised renounceable rights (if any). A participant is not otherwise obliged to repay all or part of the outstanding loan while he or she is an employee of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group. The loan must be fully repaid when a participant ends employment and before the participant can sell, transfer, mortgage or otherwise deal with the shares. Where a participant’s employment ends as result of fraud, dishonesty or other serious issues, that participant will not be given the opportunity to repay their loan and retain their shares. They will also lose entitlement to any proceeds from the sale of their shares. If a participant’s employment ends and the participant have not repaid the loan within the time period specified by the board, the Company may sell, transfer or realise the participant’s shares and apply those funds to cover the costs of the sale and to repay the loan. If there is a shortfall in repaying the loan once the participant’s shares are sold, the Company will not have any further recourse against the participant. The notional value of the limited recourse interest-free loan provided to the managing director and relevant senior executives under this legacy Plan is disclosed in the remuneration tables that accompany this report. Information on shares issued and loans provided under this Plan have been aggregated into the above table titled “Recognised share-base payment expenses”. - 115 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 37.

There were no grants to key management personnel during the 2012 financial year. The Plan provides for grants of performance shares to key executives, including the Managing Director. Under the Plan, eligible executives are granted performance shares subject to performance conditions set by the board. If the performance conditions are satisfied during the relevant performance period, the performance shares will vest. Each performance share represents an entitlement to one ordinary share in the company. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired by the key executives is equal to the number of performance shares granted. Performance shares are granted at no cost to the key executives. The exercise price that applies to exercisable performance rights is nil. The number of performance shares granted to the Managing Director and key executives have been based on the value of each option and performance right calculated using the recognised Black–Scholes-Merton valuation methodology. The assessed fair value of each performance share granted under the Plan is set out in the tables below. The grants are subject to a dealing restriction. Executives are not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise deal with the shares allocated to them until 2 years after the end of the initial performance period. A hedging restriction applies to variable remuneration that comprises equity. An employee and their closely related parties may not enter into a transaction designed to remove the at-risk element of the equity before it has vested. This also applies to the at-risk element of equity after it has vested, if it is subject to a holding lock. These restrictions are in the staff trading policy and remuneration policy. Further details of the Plan are set out in the 2012 Remuneration Report. - 117 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (continued) Performance Shares There were no grants of performance shares to senior executives during or subsequent to the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

RISK MANAGEMENT RISK OVERSIGHT The management of risk is an essential element of the group’s strategy, profitability management and is central to the way the group operates. The board, being ultimately responsible for risk management associated with the group’s activities, has established a risk appetite statement which is supported by an integrated governance and accountability framework, policies and controls to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk. In addition to strategic and reputation risk the material business risks relating to the group can be categorised as: credit, market (includes compliance, contagion, environment/sustainability risks). liquidity, and operational risk rate and currency), (including interest The risk management strategy is based upon managing the Bank’s risks within the limits and tolerances detailed in the Company’s risk appetite statement and is underpinned by a system of delegations, passing from the board through board committees, the managing director (“MD”), management committees to the various risk, support and business units of the group. An essential element of the risk framework is the risk culture of the group. Management of risk is the responsibility of the business units of the group. Embedded in the group’s culture are the values of all staff doing the right thing, taking responsibility for managing risks inherent in their role and engaging with the group’s stakeholders including the broader community to deliver a sustainable business proposition for all. The group’s risk management culture is also demonstrated by many aspects of management of the group, including: • Risk is managed both top down and bottom up. • Risk management is embedded in strategy, planning, policy (including remuneration) and procedures. • • Maintaining risk competencies especially for key roles. • Regular discussion on risk at the business unit level. • • The existence of a close working relationship/partnership between the business and risk functions and acceptance of a “healthy tension” between the functions. An ability to identify opportunities, strive for quality and efficiency and minimise losses. Acting promptly to manage risks and events whether internal or external. Board Responsibilities In accordance with the board charter, the board principally through the audit, credit, risk, change framework and technology governance and governance & HR committees oversees the establishment, implementation, review and monitoring of risk management systems and policies, taking into account the risk appetite of the group, the overall business strategy, management expertise and the external environment. This includes approving risk limits and risk policies. Board Committee Responsibilities The board has approved policies that support the implementation of a risk oversight and management framework for the group. These policies are overseen by the board committees with each committee operating under a board approved charter that is reviewed annually. Each committee has established Terms of Reference that describes the relevant responsibilities in respect to oversight and monitoring of board-approved risk management policies. The committees evaluate developments in respect to the group’s structure and operations, as well as economic, industry and market developments that may impact the group’s management of risk. Executive Responsibilities On a day to day basis each executive, management and staff are responsible for carrying out their roles in a way that manages risk in line with policies and procedures. Whilst the board has responsibility for approving the group’s appetite for risk, the MD and other executive committee members are responsible for developing strategies and business plans commensurate with that risk appetite. The executive committee has responsibility for ensuring that the board approved strategies and decisions are appropriately implemented as well as managing and monitoring the day to day activities of the group including the management of risk and consideration of emerging risks and opportunities. The executive has a number of committees that assists the executive consider risk management matters including the asset liability management committee, management credit committee and the operational risk committee. - 128 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Independent Review Group assurance (Internal audit) The group assurance function operates under a charter and annual audit plan approved by the board audit committee. The board, on recommendation of the board audit committee, approves the appointment of the head of group assurance. The committee receives reports at each meeting in respect to the outcomes and status of the internal bank assurance plan. The independent group assurance function audits all functions across the group including the effectiveness of the group’s risk management and internal compliance and control systems, in line with the bank assurance plan and has direct access to the board through the board audit committee. Group risk Group risk is an independent function of the group strategy and, providing the frameworks, policies and procedures to assist the group in managing credit and operational risk in line with the risk appetite set by the board. The group credit risk function is responsible for reviewing portfolio credit quality, policy development and promulgation, credit policy compliance, the assessment of large/maximum credit and manages the performance of the credit management system at the group level. The group operational risk function is responsible for providing the frameworks, tools and support to assist the business in the management of its operational risk (including regulatory compliance, business continuity, financial crimes and dealings through its partners). The group insurance function develops an insurance strategy and program for “insurable risk” which is approved by the board risk committee The group risk function has direct access to the board through the board credit and risk committees. Middle office A middle office function has been established within Finance and Treasury that is responsible for monitoring market risk and Treasury policy compliance (including adherence to tolerance limits). Middle office reports to the chief financial officer and has direct access to the asset liability management committee and in turn the board risk committee. MD and CFO Assurance As part of the statutory reporting arrangements for the group, the managing director (MD) and chief financial officer (CFO), provide a written declaration to the board that: • The group’s financial statements present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the group’s financial position and performance, are in accordance with the Corporations Act and comply with the Corporations Regulations 2001 and comply with accounting standards. • • • The financial records of the group for the financial year have been properly maintained in accordance with Section 286 of the Corporations Act 2001. The above statements regarding the integrity of the financial reports are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the systems, including those relating to business continuity, are operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. Any other matters that are prescribed by the Corporations Act regulations as they relate to the financial statements and notes to the financial statements are met. To provide this assurance a formal due diligence and verification process, including attestations from management, is conducted. This assurance is provided each six months in conjunction with the half year and full year financial reporting obligations. The statements are made on the basis that they provide a reasonable but not absolute level of assurance and do not imply a guarantee against adverse circumstances that may arise in future periods. In addition a description of the systems and policies employed to manage the key risks to which the Bank and group is exposed is provided to APRA. The MD confirms annually the integrity of these descriptions to APRA with the endorsement of the board. RISK PRINCIPLES Overview The group’s Risk Management Principles and Systems Description document summarises the risk management control framework of the group. These principles are approved by the board and may be amended with endorsement of the board. Specific details and responsibilities for managing each category of risk are contained in the relevant policy statements, frameworks and procedural manuals. The risk principles are summarised below. Risk management strategy A structured framework has been established to ensure that the risk management objectives are linked to the group’s business strategy and operations. The risk management strategy is underpinned by an integrated framework of responsibilities and functions driven from board level down to operational levels, covering all aspects of risk, most notably market, credit, liquidity, operational (includes compliance, contagion and environmental), strategic, reputation and emerging risks. The framework recognises the governance structure and risk management framework referred to above. - 129 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Risk limits Risk limits for market risk, credit risk and capital at risk are set and monitored by the appropriate management committees within the risk appetite approved by the board. The management of operational risk is performed using qualitative self assessment and the group has defined general parameters to manage the group-wide operational risk profile to comply with the approved risk appetite and tolerances. Limits (which may be in the form of net interest income, net profit before or after tax, retained earnings, market value of equity or other key performance indicators) are based upon the level of capital the board is willing to place at risk. Limits are calculated by aggregating quantifiable measures of market, credit and operational risk. Prior to approval by the board, limits are formally reviewed on a regular basis by the appropriate management and board committees, who consider changes in market conditions, strategy or risk appetite. The limits are set and reviewed regularly by the asset liability management committee (“ALMAC”), management credit committee and executive committee. They align with the financial forecast and planning cycle take into account historic and projected risk-adjusted performance and are independently monitored. Risk management measurement reporting and control Effective measurement, reporting and control of risk is vital to manage the group’s business activities in accordance with overall strategic and risk management objectives. The risk management, reporting and control framework requires the quantification of market, credit and liquidity risk, the capability to aggregate and monitor exposures, a comprehensive set of limits to ensure that exposures remain within the approved risk appetite, and a mechanism for evaluating performance on a risk-adjusted basis. The management of operational risk is based on a documented policy and framework. The board has defined general parameters to manage the group-wide operational risk profile to comply with the approved risk appetite and tolerances which considers both downside risk and opportunities. Internal controls The risk management framework requires robust internal controls across all aspects of the business as well as strong support functions covering legal, regulatory, governance, reputation, finance, information technology, human resources and strategy. Consequently the effectiveness and efficiency of controls is evaluated in all new and amended products, processes and systems or where external and internal factors impact the operating environment (e.g. changes in organisation structure, growth, new regulation). Risk management systems Accurate, reliable and timely information is vital to support decisions regarding risk management at all levels. The requirements span a diverse range of risk functionality including market and credit risk analysis systems, financial forecasting, strategic planning, asset and liability management, performance measurement, operational risk and regulatory reporting, as well as trading and trade processing systems and those systems supporting our staff. Data reconciliation is established to provide for the integrity of the information used and appropriate security controls around all systems. Back-up and recovery procedures are defined and business continuity plans approved and communicated to promote resilience and minimise the impact of an incident. The group maintains and implements specific policies and procedures to measure, monitor, manage and report on the material and emerging risks to which the group is exposed. Each policy contains requirements to be met for review and approval. MATERIAL RISKS Overview The risk management framework of the group is structured upon: • Core Risk Principles – overriding principles governing all activities and risk monitoring procedures; and • Specific Risk Policies – appropriate policies, framework documents, procedures and processes implemented to manage specific risks to which the group is exposed. The board, and industry regulators, have identified the material risks to which the group is exposed as being credit, market (including interest rate and currency), liquidity and operational risk. Specific risk management structures have been established by the group to manage these and other risks (e.g. reputation, emerging, strategic, contagion and sustainability). The material risks are described below. - 130 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Credit risk Credit risk is the potential that the group will suffer a financial loss due to the unwillingness or inability of counterparties to fully meet their contractual debts and obligations. The board credit committee is responsible for monitoring adherence to credit policies, practices and procedures within the group. The board has established levels of delegated lending authority under which various levels of management (including the management credit committee), partners and the board credit committee can approve transactions. Group credit risk has responsibility for: • • • • Managing, maintaining and enhancing the currency and relevance of the group’s credit policies; Providing support and analysis of credit portfolio information for credit management purposes; Reporting to the management credit committee and the board credit committee and Jointly approving larger transactions that are not required to be submitted to the management credit committee for approval.

Guidelines are implemented regarding the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • • • • For home loans - charges over borrowers’ residential, other properties or cash. Further, lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) is taken out for most loans with a loan to valuation ratio (LVR) higher than 80%. For commercial loans - charges over specified assets such as commercial and residential property, inventory and trade receivables or cash, and guarantees. For margin lending - charges over listed securities and managed funds. For personal loans - approximately 50% are secured by a charge over a specified asset, whilst credit cards are predominantly unsecured. Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during the review of the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. It is the group’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. - 132 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Credit quality The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the group using internal credit ratings.

In these cases the term of the loan is extended, but no longer than the maximum term entitlement for the product. Original terms are typically re-instated within a 3 to 6 month period. The majority of retail customers proactively contact the bank prior to the loan becoming past due or impaired. Therefore, the carrying value of financial assets that would otherwise be past due or impaired whose terms have been renegotiated is considered immaterial. Impairment assessment The main considerations for the loan impairment assessment include whether any payments of principal or interest are overdue by more than 90 days or there are any known difficulties in the cash flows of counterparties, credit rating downgrades, or infringement of the original terms of the contract. The group addresses impairment assessment in three areas: individually assessed allowances (specific provisions), collectively assessed allowances (collective provisions) and a prudential reserve (general reserve for credit losses). Individually assessed provisions (specific provisions) The group determines the impairment provision appropriate for each individually significant loan or advance on an individual basis. Items considered when determining provision amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected receipts and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of other financial support and the realisable value of collateral, and the timing of expected cash flows. The impairment losses are evaluated on a continuous basis. Allowances are assessed on a portfolio basis for losses on loans and receivables that are not individually significant (including unsecured credit cards, personal loans, overdrafts, unsecured mortgage loans) and where specific identification is impractical. Provisions are calculated for these portfolios based on historical loss experience. Collectively assessed provisions (collective provisions) Where individual loans are found not to be specifically impaired they are grouped together according to their risk characteristics and are then assessed for impairment. Based on historical loss data and current available information for assets with similar risk characteristics, the appropriate collective provision is raised. The collective provisions are re- assessed at each balance date. Prudential reserve (general reserve for credit losses) A general reserve for credit losses is maintained to cover risks inherent in the loan portfolios. Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) requires that banks maintain a general reserve for credit losses to cover risks inherent in loan portfolios. In certain circumstances the collective provision can be included in this assessment. Movements in the general reserve for credit losses are recognised as an appropriation of retained earnings. The bank maintained a GRCL at 0.53% as at 30 June 2012 (2011:0.54%). Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stressed circumstances. Group treasury is responsible for implementing liquidity risk management strategies in accordance with approved policies and adherence is monitored by the asset liability management committee and board risk committee. This includes maintaining prudent levels of liquid reserves and a diverse range of funding options to meet daily, short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. Liquidity scenarios are calculated under stressed and normal operating conditions to assist in anticipating cash flow needs and providing adequate reserves. The group maintains a portfolio of highly marketable and diverse assets that can be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flow. The group also has committed lines of credit that it can access to meet liquidity needs. The liquidity position is assessed and managed under a variety of scenarios, giving due consideration to stress factors relating to both the market in general and specifically to the group. The most important of these is to maintain limits on the ratio of net liquid assets to customer liabilities, set to reflect market conditions. Net liquid assets consist of cash, short term bank deposits and liquid debt securities available for immediate sale, less deposits for banks and other issued securities and borrowings due to mature within the next month. - 134 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The liquidity ratio during the financial year was as follows: 30 June Average during the financial year Highest Lowest 2012 % 11.09 12.09 13.67 11.04 2011 % 11.59 12.37 14.68 11.03 Analysis of financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturities The table below summarises the maturity profile of the group’s financial liabilities at 30 June 2012 based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. The board has established limits on the interest rate risk volatility of net interest income and market value of equity exposures. Positions are monitored regularly and approved hedging strategies are executed to ensure sensitivities and exposures are maintained within the established limits. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, on the group’s income statement and equity. The sensitivity of the income statement is the effect of assumed changes in interest rates on the net interest for one year, based on the floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities held at 30 June 2012, including the effect of hedging instruments. The sensitivity of equity is calculated by revaluing fixed rate available for sale financial assets (including the effect of any associated hedges), and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, at 30 June 2012 for the effects of the assumed changes in interest rates. The sensitivity of equity is analysed by maturity of the asset or swap. With sensitivity based on the assumption that there are parallel shifts in the yield curve. Monitoring of adherence to policies, limits and procedures is controlled through the ALMAC and the board risk committee. - 136 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) CONSOLIDATED Net interest income Ineffectiveness in cash flow hedge Income tax effect at 30% Effect on profit Effect on profit (per above) Ineffectiveness in cash flow hedge Income tax effect on reserves at 30% Effect on equity PARENT Net interest income Ineffectiveness in cash flow hedge - controlled entity Income tax effect at 30% Effect on profit Effect on profit (per above) Cash flow hedge reserve Income tax effect on reserves at 30% Effect on equity +10 0 ba s is -10 0 ba s is po int s 2 0 12 $ m 33.7 4.4 (11.4) 26.7 26.7 195.1 (58.5) 163.3 po int s 2 0 12 $ m (36.1) (4.4) 12.2 (28.3) (28.3) (195.1) 58.5 (164.9) +10 0 ba s is -10 0 ba s is po int s 2 0 12 $ m 24.3 4.4 (8.6) 20.1 20.1 195.1 (58.5) 156.7 po int s 2 0 12 $ m (29.3) (4.4) 10.1 (23.6) (23.6) (195.1) 58.5 (160.2) +10 0 ba s is - 10 0 ba s is po ints po int s 2 0 11 $ m 49.3 3.1 (15.7) 36.7 36.7 98.5 (29.6) 105.6 2 0 11 $ m (43.6) (3.1) 14.0 (32.7) (32.7) (98.5) 29.6 (101.6) +10 0 ba s is - 10 0 ba s is po ints po int s 2 0 11 $ m 39.7 3.6 (13.0) 30.3 30.3 88.5 (26.6) 92.2 2 0 11 $ m (36.6) (3.6) 12.1 (28.1) (28.1) (88.5) 26.6 (90.0) The movements in profit are due to higher/lower interest costs from variable rate debt and cash balances. The movement in equity is also affected by the increase/decrease in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, where these derivatives are deemed effective. Controlled entity hedges are no longer held following the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of Adelaide Bank Limited to the parent entity. This analysis reflects a scenario where no management actions are taken to counter movements in rates. Foreign currency risk The group does not have any significant exposure to foreign currency risk, as all borrowings through the company’s Euro medium term note program (EMTN) and Euro commercial paper program (ECP) are fully hedged. At balance date the principal of foreign currency denominated borrowings under these programs was AUD $77.3m (2011: AUD $162.4m) with all borrowings fully hedged by cross currency swaps, and foreign exchange swaps. Retail and business banking FX transactions are managed by the group’s Financial Markets unit, with resulting risk constrained by board approved spot and forward limits. Adherence to limits is independently monitored by the Treasury Operations unit. It is the current policy of the group that it does not trade in derivatives or foreign currencies (i.e. the risk is managed rather than actively sought). Equity price risk The group’s exposure to equity securities at 30 June 2012 is $124.7m (2011: $123.4m) with $108.2m (2011: $118.4m) of these listed on a recognised stock exchange. The fair value of listed investments is affected by movements in market prices, whilst unlisted investment fair values are determined using other valuation methods. Equity securities price risk arises from investments in equity securities and is the risk that the fair values of equities decrease as the result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The majority of the value of equity investments held are of a high quality and are publicly traded on either the ASX or BSX. The groups’ equity investments represent approximately 0.2% of total group assets and are predominantly long term strategic holdings, therefore short term volatility in fair values is not considered significant and a sensitivity analysis has not been completed. - 137 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Operational risk Operational risk is defined as the risk of impact on objectives resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events, including legal and reputation risk but excluding strategic risk, that are not already covered by other regulatory capital charges (i.e. credit and market risks). The board risk committee is responsible for the oversight of the operational risk management policies and effectiveness of implementation across the group. The executive committee and each individual executive member has day to day responsibility and accountability for the management of operational risk in their business/support line including, but not limited to ensuring operational risk management strategies are in place and operating effectively. Management and staff in each business are responsible for identifying operational risks and determining, implementing, monitoring and reporting on policies and practices to manage operational risks to which their business is exposed. In managing operational risks, the group is cognisant of its correlation with strategic, reputation and contagion risk. The group considers both the internal and external environment as well emerging risks when monitoring and assessing operational risk. Inherent in the group’s industry the following factors can also impact the group’s operations and outcomes: • • • • • • Globalisation & global impacts e.g. market liquidity, investor sentiment Economic e.g. changes in economic growth, interest rates Changes in government policy and regulation Demographic trends Technological dependency, advancements and speed to market Financial convergence and competitive landscape Group operational risk has a role to assist and support the executive committee and business units to develop, implement, monitor and report on the effectiveness of implementation of the group’s operational risk management framework. It reports to the board risk committee on the status of the implementation of the framework and implications of significant risks and risk events at the group level. Sustainability and climate change Sustainability and climate change risk is defined as the risk to the business and our stakeholders of meeting objectives due to changes in climate and environment. In recognition of the importance of managing this risk (both downside and opportunity) the group’s risk and business functions consider the broader environment, social responsibility and resilience in its decision making. - 138 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 41. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value Disclosed below is the estimated fair value of the group's financial instruments presented in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard AASB 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosure”. A financial instrument is defined by AASB 132 as any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial liability is a contractual obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or, to exchange financial instruments with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. Methodologies The methodologies and assumptions used depend on the terms and risk characteristics of the various instruments and include the following: Cash and cash equivalents, due to and from other financial institutions The carrying values of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate fair values. These include cash and short- term cash equivalents, due to and from other financial institutions and accrued interest receivable or payable. These instruments are short-term in nature and the related amounts approximate fair value and are receivable or payable on demand. Derivatives (assets and liabilities) The fair value of exchange-rate and interest-rate contracts, used for hedging purposes, is the estimated amount the group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at reporting date. The fair value of these instruments is disclosed under “Derivatives”. Financial assets – held for trading (Securities) These financial assets include floating rate notes and discounted short term securities. The carrying value of these assets is based on a mark to market value. Therefore the carrying value represents fair value. Financial assets - available for sale Available for sale financial assets (securities) are predominantly short-term bank accepted bills of exchange and negotiable certificates of deposit and are carried at fair value. Financial assets - held to maturity (Securities) The fair value of financial assets held to maturity, including bills of exchange, negotiable certificates of deposit, government securities and bank and other deposits, which are predominantly short-term, is measured at amortised book value. Carrying value of these assets approximates fair value. Financial assets - available for sale (share investments and shares in controlled entities) The fair value of share investments is based on market value for listed share investments and carrying values for unlisted share investments. As the listed share investments are carried at market value, carrying value represents fair value. Loans and other receivables The carrying value of loans and other receivables is net of specific and collective provisions for doubtful debts. For variable rate loans, excluding impaired loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The net fair value for fixed loans is calculated by utilising discounted cash flow models (i.e the net present value of the portfolio future principal and interest cash flows), based on the maturity of the loans. The discount rates applied represent the rate the market is willing to offer for these loans at arms-length. The net fair value of impaired loans is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using these rates. Investments in joint ventures These investments are carried at the proportional share of equity invested in the joint venture, including accumulated profit or losses of the joint venture. The fair value has been determined using a multiple of the latest annual profit after tax. Where the joint venture is not yet profitable the fair value has been assumed to be equal to the carrying value. Other assets This category includes items such as sundry debtors, which are short-term by nature and the carrying amount is therefore a reasonable estimate of fair value, except for other assets in the Company which includes investments in joint ventures. Refer to Investments in joint ventures methodology above. Deposits and notes payable The carrying value of call, variable rate and fixed rate deposits repricing within six months approximates the fair value at balance date. The fair value of other term deposits is calculated using discounted cash flow models, based on the deposit type and its related maturity. The discount rates applied represent the rate the market is willing to offer these loans at arms- length. Other financial liabilities This category includes items such as sundry creditors which are short-term by nature and the carrying amount is therefore a reasonable estimate of fair value. Reset preference shares The closing share price of the reset preference shares on 30 June is used to calculate the fair value of these financial liabilities. - 139 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Subordinated debt and other debt The fair value of subordinated debt is calculated based on quoted market prices, where applicable. For those debt issues where quoted market prices were not available, a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate to the remaining maturity of the instrument is used.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The group uses derivatives primarily to hedge banking operations and for asset and liability management. Some derivatives transactions may qualify as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The accounting treatment of these hedges is outlined in Note 2.33 Derivative Financial Instruments. The group is exposed to volatility in interest cash flows inherent in its loan portfolio and that of the securitisation vehicles. Interest rate swaps are used to hedge the risk that this volatility creates. During the 2012 financial year the consolidated entity recognised a loss of $12.6m (2011: a gain of $0.7m) due to hedge ineffectiveness.

Employees contribute to the plan at a fixed percentage of remuneration. The group’s contribution to the defined benefit plan is determined by the Trustee after consideration of actuarial advice. At balance date, the Directors believe that funds available were adequate to satisfy all vested benefits under the plan. Accounting Policy Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in retained earnings. Plan Information Defined benefit members receive lump sum benefits on retirement, death, disablement and withdrawal. The defined benefit section of the Plan is closed to new members. All new members are entitled to become members of the accumulation categories of the fund.

Funding Method The method used to determine the employer contribution recommendations is the Attained Age Normal method. The method adopted affects the timing of the cost to the Bank. Under the Attained Age Normal method, a “normal cost” is calculated which is the estimated employer contribution rate required to provide benefits in respect of future service after the review date. The “normal” cost is then adjusted to take into account any surplus (or deficiency) of assets over the value of liabilities in respect of service prior to the review date. Any surplus or deficiency can be used to reduce or increase the “normal” employer contribution rate over a suitable period of time. Economic Assumptions The long-term economic assumptions adopted are: Expected rate of return on assets Expected salary increase rate Nature of Asset 7.0% pa 3.5% pa Bendigo and Adelaide Bank has recognised an asset in the Balance Sheet (under Other assets) in respect of its defined benefit superannuation arrangements. If a surplus exists in the Plan, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank may be able to take advantage of it in the form of a reduction in the required contribution rate, depending on the advice of the Plan’s actuary. The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Staff Superannuation Plan, a sub-plan of the Spectrum Super, does not impose a legal liability on Bendigo and Adelaide Bank to cover any deficit that exists in the Plan. If the Plan were wound up, there would be no legal obligation on the Bank to make good any shortfall. The rules of the Plan state that if the Plan winds up, the remaining assets are to be distributed amongst the Members as determined by the Trustee of the Plan. The Bank may at any time terminate its contributions by giving one month’s notice in writing to the Trustee.

A specific litigation risk exists in relation to the Bank’s Great Southern loan portfolio. A law firm commenced a number of group legal proceedings involving the Bank and other parties on behalf of investors in relation to managed investment schemes managed by Great Southern Managers Australia Ltd (“Group Proceedings”). The Great Southern Group of companies is now in liquidation. The Bank either acquired or advanced loans to investors in the managed investment schemes. Not all borrowers are members of the Group Proceedings as the Group Proceedings relate to specific schemes and categories of borrowers. While no wrongdoing is alleged against the Bank and the Bank will vigorously defend the Group Proceedings, the law firm is seeking to have the loan deeds of those borrowers who are members of the Group Proceedings deemed void or unenforceable and for all money paid under those loans (including principal, any interest and fees) to be repaid to borrowers. The litigation will continue to be assessed and managed on an ongoing basis.

FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES The group conducts investment management and other fiduciary activities as trustee, custodian or manager for a number of funds and trusts, including superannuation, unit trusts and mortgage pools. The amounts of the funds concerned, which are not included in the group's statement of financial position is as follows: Funds under trusteeship Assets under management Funds under management Consolidated 2012 $m 2,733.0 1,789.2 1,300.7 2011 $m 2,780.9 1,859.0 1,365.1 As an obligation arises under each type of duty the amount of funds has been included where that duty arises. This may lead to the same funds being shown more than once where the group acts in more than one capacity in relation to those funds eg manager and trustee. Where controlled entities, as trustees, custodian or manager incur liabilities in the normal course of their duties, a right of indemnity exists against the assets of the applicable trusts. As these assets are sufficient to cover liabilities, and it is therefore not probable that the group companies will be required to settle them, the liabilities are not included in the financial statements. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank does not guarantee the performance or obligations of its subsidiaries. 46. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE SHEET DATE On the 9th August 2012 Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group announced the sale of its 7.8% stake in IOOF. The sale has improved statutory earnings by approximately $40m and Tier One capital will increase by approximately 13 basis points. For further information please refer to our ASX release on the 9th August 2012. The Bank recently completed the sale of a portfolio of subordinated notes it held in existing Torrens securitisation trusts. BEN had previously deducted capital against these holdings to the value of approximately $90m. This sale eliminates the need for this deduction and increases Tier One capital by 29 basis points. There will be a loss on sale of these investments of $12.4m recorded for the financial year 2013. No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the economic entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the economic entity in subsequent financial years. - 155 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 47. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Bank of Cyprus Australia Limited On the 29th of February 2012, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank acquired the Bank of Cyprus Australia (BOCA), by purchasing 100% of shares on issue. The total consideration paid in cash for the Bank of Cyprus Australia was $131.4 million. The cost of the acquisition includes directly attributable costs including consultancy, legal, accounting and other professional fees. The principal activities of Bank of Cyprus Australia are to provide a wide range of banking services with predominate focus on servicing the Hellenic community. The acquisition had the following effect on the group's assets and liabilities: Assets Cash and cash equivalents Investment securities Other financial assets Loans and other receivables Plant and equipment Intangible assets Other assets Total Assets Liabilities Interest bearing deposits Trade and other payables Provisions Deferred tax liabilities Total Liabilities Pre-acquisition carrying amount $m 184.5 186.2 8.3 1,330.7 5.1 0.8 2.4 1,718.0 1,564.1 26.3 2.0 - 1,592.4 Recognised values on acquisition $m 184.5 189.6 7.8 1,329.3 5.1 0.8 4.6 1,721.7 1,570.2 26.3 2.0 0.9 1,599.4 Net identifiable assets and liabilities attributable to Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited 125.6 122.3 Cost of acquisition Fair value of net assets acquired Final goodwill on acquisition 131.4 122.3 9.1 The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes income of $11.1 million and profit before tax of $3.0 million for the 4 months to 30 June 2012. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the reporting period, the consolidated financial statement of comprehensive income would have included revenue of $34.4 million and a net profit before tax of $7.6 million. Goodwill Goodwill arose in the business combination as the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the skills and talent of the acquired business workforce, the benefit of expected head office and operational synergies, revenue growth and future market development. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be measured reliably or they are not capable of being separated from the group and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged either individually or together with any related contracts. - 156 - BENDIGO AND ADELAIDE BANK LIMITED ABN 11 068 049 178 Annual Financial Report Period ending 30 June 2012 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited, we state that: In the opinion of the directors: (a) the financial statements and notes of the Company and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) (c) (d) the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in note 2.2 and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable this declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.
