External Market 
Conditions

The domestic economy experienced a 
challenging year in 2018 as it continued to 
face the tight supply of foreign exchange 
and lower economic activity. This was 
further impacted by a devastating 
earthquake that struck the Highlands 
region in February 2018. 

Resource businesses suffered extensive damage and 
there were several major shut downs. However, losses 
were recovered and initial fears of economic growth 
dropping to recessionary levels dissipated. 

PNG successfully hosted APEC 2018 which brought with 
it major improvements in infrastructure: new roads, an 
upgraded international airport, the construction of the 
iconic APEC Haus and several new conference facilities. 
The cost of hosting the event was estimated at 
K1.0 billion (USD$300 million) and the summit resulted in 
the announcement of several major billion dollar 
partnerships:

•  A trilateral partnership between Australia, USA and 
Japan for infrastructure development across the 
Indo-Pacific Region.

•  Signed an MOU for the US$5bn (PGK16.7bn) Wafi 
Golpu copper-gold mine project with an initial 
capital investment of US$2.8bn (PGK9bn)

•  Signed USD$1.7bn Electrification Partnership with 
Australia, USA, Japan and New Zealand to bring 
power to 70% of the population by 2030.

•  Signed MOU with TOTAL that aimed to finalise a gas 
agreement in early 2019 for the Papua LNG Project, 
estimated to cost USD$13bn.

•  A PNG-USA-Australia joint agreement for the 
development of the Manus Island Naval Base.

PNG was successful in issuing its first sovereign bond 
raising US$500 million at a relatively attractive interest 
rate of 8.375%. Proceeds have gone to domestic debt 
repayment and has helped to relieve some of the foreign 
exchange pressures that have built over recent times. 

Looking ahead, growth is expected to be solid with  
the IMF forecasting a growth rate of 3.2% for 2019. 
Foreign exchange flows and reserves are anticipated  
to continue to increase. Major new resource projects 
are progressing to Final Investment Decisions with 
construction likely to start in 2020. An international 
submarine fibre optic cable and a domestic cable will 
increase bandwidth to PNG significantly and should 
lead to falling broadband prices. 

The generally positive outlook is not without risks, 
which in Kina’s view are mainly internationally based and 
depend on whether the expected slowdown in growth 
overseas is deep enough to lead to further falls in 
commodity prices. To some degree PNG remains 
protected from this outcome as a low cost country for 
the extractive industry.

Chairman’s Message

Despite the continued difficult 
economic environment I am pleased 
to deliver this statement showing the 
Bank’s solid financial performance.  
It has resulted in a strong dividend 
for shareholders, with a final  
dividend of AUD 5.0 cents per share 
or PGK 12.1 toea. This takes the full 
year dividend to AUD 9.0 cents per 
share or PGK22.1 toea per share.

A transformational year

The Bank set itself up for transformation in 2018 by 
announcing the major acquisition of ANZ PNG’s Retail, 
Commercial and SME businesses including the transfer of  
all retail branches, ATMs and EFTPOS terminals. 

The acquisition is expected to increase Kina’s earnings  
and profitability, improving returns for our shareholders and 
enhancing our liquidity to support future lending growth.  
It is progressing well and expected to complete in 
September 2019. The transaction settlement date is timed 
largely due to the intent to migrate ANZ customers to Kina 
Bank platforms and the respective product capability build 
associated with the migration program. 

During the year Kina also resolved our escrow  
shareholding when the founding and major shareholder,  
FU Shan Investments (Hong Kong) Ltd, sold its stake of 
34.94% in June 2018. This resulted in a significant broadening 
of the investor base and has provided greater market 
liquidity for Kina shares, bought by a diverse group of new 
and existing institutional and retail investors in Papua New 
Guinea and Australia. 

Business Growth

We also strengthened our USD correspondent banking 
relationship. With a full year of uninterrupted foreign 
exchange (FX) we restored our position in the FX market. 
Our FX income grew by 373% and we were able to increase 
market share to 10% for the full year. 

Kina reported a Net Profit After Tax of PGK 48.1 million for 
the December 2018 full year showing a substantial uplift 
compared to the same period in 2017. The results were 
strongly driven by FX trading supported by the strong  
USD correspondent banking relationship. The second half 
performance also reflects excellent growth in customer 
volumes whilst achieving a reduction in funding costs as  
a percentage of the portfolio. 

With the appointment of Greg Pawson, our new Chief 
Executive Officer, in January 2018 we have seen the strong 
leadership needed to deliver on our goals for the year and 
beyond. Greg has provided clear direction and committed 
us to delivering for our stakeholders. His blueprint for 
strengthening the organisation has already shown significant 
success and he has embedded a challenger mentality 
throughout the business.

I would also like to thank my fellow Directors for their 
contribution, their rigour and executive level governance, 
particularly with regards to operational and compliance 
risks. The appointments of industry experts Andrew 
Carriline and Paul Hutchinson in August reflect the Bank’s 
growing strength as an emerging force in PNG’s rapidly 
developing financial services sector. They have brought key 
risk and commercial expertise to complement the broad 
range of experience already present with Karen Smith-
Pomeroy and Jane Thomason. 

On behalf of the board I would like to thank our staff for their 
commitment and dedication to the business. Their energy 
and genuine pride in our brand has enabled us to deliver 
solid results and set a strong foundation for future success.

Finally, I would like to thank our customers, community and 
shareholders for your continued support. 

Yours faithfully

Managing  
Director’s Report

We have had a great year and our 
performance is back on track.

Our customer numbers grew by 
25% to almost 21,000; our deposits 
grew by 29% to PGK 1.3bn;  
our loans and advances grew  
by 20% to PGK 851.7m.

We also put considerable effort into strengthening our 
correspondent banking arrangements. This resulted in  
FX income growing 373% to PGK 34.2m.

This was one of three strategic milestones we delivered 
during the year, including: the acquisition of ANZ PNG’s 
Retail, SME and Commercial businesses; and the resolution 
of our escrow shareholding.

The acquisition is very much in line with our target and 
strategy to bank the emerging mass affluent segment in 
retail banking, and commercial and SME customers.  
Our objective is to achieve a seamless staff and customer 
experience during the transition and we have partnered  
with the International Finance Corporation and the Asian 
Development Bank to provide specialist technical and 
project assistance.

The integration team are delivering an ambitious project 
that is on track for completion in September 2019, when 
more than 300 staff and 120,000 customers will transition  
to Kina Bank. We will become the second largest retail bank 
in PNG with a national footprint and the capability to meet 
the increasingly sophisticated needs of communities across 
the country.

The acquisition will strengthen PNG’s financial services 
sector by providing two very strong domestic retail banks. 
With the improvement in competition, our customers will 
benefit from our appetite to grow and invest in them.  
The acquisition is also good news for the PNG job market. 
Roles that are currently performed off-shore in locations 
such as Fiji, Singapore and India, will be brought back  
to PNG. 

Underpinning the success of our organic growth this year  
is our focus on the customer experience. Simplicity, 
convenience and ease of access are the key themes we are 
building into our offering. Our digital strategy means we 
have been working to make things simple by upgrading our 
online platforms, and introducing new digital services such 
as online loan origination.

We have also made a significant investment in technology 
behind the scenes by automating systems and processes  
to improve efficiency. On top of this, we have put in a 
substantial amount of work to implement a brand new 
e-switching capability. This will allow us to service scheme 
card issuing and acquiring; provide EFTPOS services; and 
manage an expanded ATM fleet.

These developments form the foundation on which we are 
building a better bank for the future and they are why we 
were voted the Most Innovative Business 2018.

As we become a more focused bank and prioritise our 
customer segments we have begun to strengthen our 
capabilities. Our people have real pride in our organisation 
and this has been crucial to our success.

We are creating the right culture for long term success,  
which centres on our commitment to all of our colleagues.  
We provide tailor made training courses for everyone to 
ensure that they stay on top of their game. In addition to  
this, we encourage continuous learning. In 2018, all of our 
funds administrators were accredited with international 
qualifications through the Association of Superannuation 
Funds of Australia.

Each of us at Kina Bank is dedicated to doing good and 
positively contributing to the communities we serve.  
This year we stepped up our community work with our people 
organising and engaging in major community initiatives: from 
fund raising for hospitals, refurbishing schools, to cleaning up 
the local environment. We also sponsored major sporting 
events, such as the Golf ProAm, showing not only our charity 
work but also encouraging healthy lifestyles too.

Strategic Report

Building a better bank

In a series of transformative announcements made 
throughout 2018, Kina Bank secured its position as the 
fastest growing bank in PNG with a strong and 
successful future. 

In June we announced the transformative acquisition  
of ANZ PNG’s Retail, Commercial and SME businesses. 
The news was quickly followed by the divestment of 
our founding and major shareholder. Alongside this, 
we strengthened our correspondent banking 
arrangements, allowing us to restore our strong 
position in the FX market with a full year of 
uninterrupted FX trading. 

The shareholder restructure was a significant moment 
for Kina Bank. When Fu Shan sold their shares – 
representing 34.94% or 57.29 million shares – it not only 
reinforced their valued contribution to the growth story 
of Kina Bank, but also strengthened our shareholder 
base as the only dual listed financial services company 
in PNG. 

The sell-down prompted strong demand from both 
PNG and overseas investors and was oversubscribed 
by AUD25.0m. It reinforced off-shore interest and 
confidence in PNG and the Kina Bank strategy. The 
sale also confirmed Kina Bank’s compliance with the 
last remaining condition applied to its banking licence, 
in line with PNG Prudential guidelines. 

The acquisition of ANZ PNG’s Retail, Commercial and 
SME businesses includes the national retail branch 
network, and the ATM and EFTPOS fleet. It will make 
Kina Bank the second largest bank in Papua New Guinea. 

With a significantly increased national footprint, the 
acquisition will strengthen PNG’s financial services 
sector by providing two very strong domestic retail 
banks. Customers will benefit from greater choice and 
a genuine, better banking alternative. 

The acquisition of ANZ PNG’s businesses is expected 
to complete in September 2019 and we have been 
working closely with ANZ to ensure there’s a seamless 
transition for customers. 

Simplicity, convenience and easy access

We want to create value for our stakeholders and 
ensure our long term ability to operate. With this in 
mind we undertook a major review of our products, 
services, systems and processes. 

As a result, we brought to market a series of exciting 
new products and features including online customer 
onboarding and loan origination; and we’ve refreshed 
our Internet and mobile banking products. We’re the 
only bank in PNG, for example, that offers a single view 
online portal for banking and superannuation. 

Our achievements were recognised when we were 
ranked the most innovative business in Papua New 
Guinea for 2018. In 2019 we will launch more new 
products and services to disrupt the banking industry, 
including contactless payment options such as  
Google Pay. Simplicity, convenience and ease of  
access are the key themes we’re building into our 
offering so that we can continue to offer customers 
best-in-class banking options.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Banking

2018 was a watershed year for Kina’s 
banking division with new products  
and initiatives implemented and strong 
results delivered.

We are a full service bank offering a range of retail and 
commercial banking products and services. As a young 
bank, we are committed to providing our customers 
with the best digital banking solutions in the market. 
This includes our modern, customer-friendly app, retail 
internet banking platform, and our corporate online 
platform for business customers. These channels 
complement our traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ 
branches in Port Moresby and Lae. 

Consistent with our ambitions to be PNG’s leading 
digital bank, we launched an online account opening 
capability for new customers. This underpinned growth 
in customer numbers of 25% to over 20,000 and 
contributed to our strong lift in non-interest income, 
which grew by 90%. This result was strongly driven by 
FX income with our FX trading restored for the full year. 
The majority of interactions our customers have with 
Kina Bank are through our digital channels, in particular 
our ATM network and online. 

To support our balance sheet growth, we launched a 
market leading Cash Management Account. This ‘at 
call’ product offers a tiered interest rate and rewards 
personal and business customers with higher balances. 

The introduction of this product and a strong focus 
from our relationship management teams saw Kina 
Bank’s deposit book grow by 29% over the course of 
the year. 

Our strong growth in deposits enabled us to fund further 
growth in our lending book. Our loan book of primarily 
business customers grew by 20% during the year, which 
is well above estimated system growth of 6%.

As our share in business lending increases, we also see 
great opportunity that the emerging middle-class in 
PNG presents. In late 2018, we initiated a full review of 
our home loan offering including product, processes, 
and distribution. We intend to focus heavily on helping 
customers achieve their dream of buying their own 
home during 2019.

Notwithstanding strong balance sheet growth, we 
continue to manage risk effectively, and are pleased 
that our loan impairments and provisioning as a 
percentage of the loan book both reduced over  
the course of the year.

We have delivered strong, organic growth. We are also 
working closely with the ANZ integration team to ensure 
we are ready to take advantage of the opportunities the 
acquisition presents, but are also determined to ensure 
we are not distracted from growing our existing 
business in the meantime.

Wealth

Wealth Management continued its strong 
relationships with the key superannuation 
funds: Nambawan Super Limited (NSL), 
Comrade Trustee Services Limited (CTSL) 
and the National Superannuation Fund 
of Papua New Guinea (NASFUND). The 
Wealth Management business provides 
a range of services spanning funds 
management and funds administration.  

In the Wealth business, Kina Funds Management 
finished the year with funds under management of 
K7.5bn, up from PGK6.9bn in 2017. The growth reflects 
ongoing cash inflows to client funds.  Return results 
moderated from prior years given market volatility 
towards the end of the year, but most clients still 
managed to generate positive returns.  Growth also 
reflected Comrade Trustee Services returning to Kina 
Funds Management early in 2018.  

Kina Funds Administration increased by 37% to K16.2m 
after the NASFUND transition. Member numbers 
increased to 749,816 over the year. Productivity 
improved 300% from an overall staff to member ratio of 
1:4,000 to 1:12,000, mainly driven by ongoing system 

enhancements, end to end process improvement 
initiatives and streamlining administration work. Fund 
administration systems are key components in our 
business and we will focus on further enhancing and 
streamlining processes to drive efficiencies. Kina now 
has a 90% market share of the FUA for the 
superannuation sector in PNG. 

Twenty nine fund administrators successfully completed 
the super foundation course and our senior manager 
successfully completed a Diploma of Superannuation 
with ASFA.

We have been actively growing our partnership with 
Super funds in a number of ways including with the 
introduction of preferential loan products and other 
banking services to a cohort of over 750,000 members.  
Towards the end of the year, we agreed to create a joint 
working group with super fund clients to identify and 
build tailored products and services.

We have been developing our internet banking 
platform to provide a consolidated real-time view of a 
customer’s complete financial relationship. Kina Bank 
clients can now view their superfund balances alongside 
their bank accounts via our internet banking platform. 
We are the only bank in PNG that offers this service.

Total Societal Impact

Our corporate social responsibility 
strategy is centred on the belief of doing 
good for the people we serve. We believe 
the Bank has an important part to play in 
the community and can help build a 
successful and positive future for Papua 
New Guinea. To underpin this purpose,  
we are developing a Total Societal Impact 
strategy that is aimed at addressing social 
and environmental challenges. 

Youth development is a key focus for us because youth 
unemployment is a major social issue facing PNG.  
We have partnered with a local not-for-profit charity to 
offer school leavers face to face training sessions, and 
individual coaching and support, to help prepare them 
for the workforce. We have also established a work 
experience and internship program for students to  
learn the skills they need in a professional environment. 
We will be expanding this initiative throughout 2019  
as part of our drive to help create the workforce of  
the future.

A second key initiative for us is developing our 
partnership with a major microfinance agency. The aim 
will be to provide wholesale funding to support future 
lending and personal banking services. With Kina Bank’s 
significant technology upgrade, we also aim to offer 
support through the production of debit cards, the 
installation of POS devices with microfinance merchants, 
and through ATM interchange. Customers would then 
have access to additional products including mobile 
phone top-ups and insurance.

This strategic partnership will facilitate our efforts to 
expand financial inclusion and economic wellbeing by 
encouraging more people to participate in the formal 
financial sector, especially those under-served in rural 
areas or urban settlements. 

We maintained our community support with 
sponsorships of sports events and corporate fun runs  
to promote health and wellbeing as well as fund raising 
for local schools and hospitals

Our continued commitment to acting ethically and 
responsibly is enshrined in our Corporate Governance 
Statement. It ensures Kina Bank maintains the highest 
standards of integrity, honesty and fairness with all 
stakeholders.

The corporate culture of Kina Bank emphasises the 
maintenance and promotion of equity and fairness. 
We understand the importance of embracing diversity, 
specifically in valuing the unique qualities that each 
member of staff brings to the workplace. We are a strong 
advocate for gender smart policies and foster an 
environment where the ratio of women to men is almost 
60% female to 40% male. We are also an inaugural 
member of the Business Coalition for Women and 
through the year have provided specialist training to 
female leaders to assist with their career development. 

We also launched the Employee Assistance Program, 
offering support, counselling, legal assistance and advice 
from independent professionals to help staff manage or 
negotiate difficult situations.

We believe the Bank has an 
important part to play in 
helping to build a
successful and 
positive future  
for Papua New 
Guinea.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Strategic Direction

To continue delivering on our vision to 
be the most dynamic, progressive and 
accessible financial services company 
in PNG, we have established a strong 
strategic direction for 2019. 

The successful integration of ANZ PNG’s retail, 
commercial and SME business is on target for 
September completion. The program is progressing 
well and central to its delivery is our Digital Strategy. 
This charts the transformation of our business and  
is key to providing customers with a leading  
customer experience. 

We will continue to roll out new digital products and 
services as we build on our promise to customers that 
they can access their money ‘anytime, anywhere, 
anyhow’. We plan to launch an online retail FX service, 
and contactless payments via GooglePay to increase 
our competitive advantage.

In line with this, we will continue to simplify our 
business through significant internal digital 
transformation, automating a number of systems  
and processes. We also plan to digitise our customer 
contact centre with the introduction of chat box  
and Skype. 

To support this strategy we will strengthen critical 
capabilities in the area of data and analytics. Through 
integrating our product, marketing and analytics 
team we will be able to deliver a more targeted 
approach to our customer segments and achieve 
customer growth targets.

A critical driver to our long term ability to create value 
for all our stakeholders is our focus on leadership and 
culture. Real pride in our brand and our vision from staff 
has been a key factor in our success throughout the 
year and we recognise the importance of our team’s 
ongoing commitment to the business. 

To maintain an energised and accountable team we will 
institute an integrated cultural framework and continue 
to embed our cultural profile across the business. This 
will be especially valuable as we begin to transition 
in-scope ANZ PNG staff to Kina Bank. 

As our business grows, we will continue to support our 
people build skills for the future. Our comprehensive 
learning and development program has so far seen 40 
leaders complete the Franklin Covey Leadership 
program and we’ve introduced a talent program for 
high potential employees.

Corporate Governance 
Statement

Introduction
Kina Securities Limited and its related entities (Kina, or the 
Kina Group, or the Group, or the Company) places great 
emphasis on the continued development of a strong risk 
management and compliance culture. In an emerging 
market place, Kina seeks to be innovative as well as provide 
a safe and secure environment for its customers and 
clients, which in turn brings value to shareholders.

The Board of Directors of Kina Securities Limited  
(the Board) is responsible for the overall corporate 
governance of the Kina Group, including adopting 
appropriate policies and procedures designed to ensure 
that Kina is properly managed to protect and enhance 
shareholder interests.

The Board monitors the operational and financial position 
and performance of Kina and oversees its business 
strategy, including approving the Company’s strategic 
goals and considering and approving business plans,  
key governance and operational policies and the  
annual budget.

Kina has a well-developed governance framework for the 
operation and management of Kina, which incorporates 
resilient internal controls, risk management processes and

adherence to this framework which enables the Group to 
comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards set 
down by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG), the

This Corporate Governance Statement (Statement)

framework and practices by reference to the ASX

Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) 
(Recommendations). The Statement was approved  
by the Board on 28 March 2019. The Board considers  
and applies the Recommendations, taking into account  
the circumstances of Kina. Where Kina’s practices depart 
from a Recommendation, this Statement identifies the  
area of divergence and reasons for it, or any alternative 
practices adopted by Kina.

Governance framework
The core of Kina’s corporate governance framework is the 
Company’s Constitution and the Charters and Policies 
(Governance Documents) listed below, which are

Director Appointment 
As is required by the BPNG’s Prudential Standards 
(Standards), Kina undertakes ‘Fit and Proper’ testing for 
candidates for ‘Responsible Person’ positions, which 
includes Directors and the Senior Management Team.  
This rigorous testing, in accordance with the Standards,  
is carried out on an annual basis including thorough 
background checks. When Directors are proposed for 
election, or re-election at General Meetings of 
shareholders, the Notice of Meeting provides material  
and relevant information to enable shareholders to  
make an informed decision as to whether or not to  
elect or re-elect the candidate.

Kina has entered into a written agreement with each 
Director and Senior Management Team member that sets 
out, amongst other items, the terms of their appointment 
and their roles and responsibilities.

•  Remuneration Policy (approved April 2018)

•  Risk Appetite Statement – Kina Bank  

(approved October 2018)

•  Securities Trading Policy (approved February 2017) 1

•  Shareholder Communications Policy  

(approved October 2016) 1

Board of Directors

The Role of the Board 
The Board is committed to maximising performance, 
generating shareholder value and financial returns, and 
sustaining the growth and success of Kina. In conducting 
Kina’s business in accordance with these objectives, the 
Board seeks to ensure that Kina is properly managed to 
protect and enhance shareholder interests, and that Kina, 
its Directors, Officers and Employees operate in a well 
governed environment. 

The Board has adopted a Board Charter. The Board 
Charter sets out, amongst other things, the:

• 

• 

role and responsibilities of the Board, including those 
matters specifically reserved to the Board; 

role and responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer 
(CEO), which is primarily the day to day management  
of Kina;

•  procedures for management of potential and actual 

conflicts of interest; and

•  guidance on Board performance evaluation, ethical 

standards and taking independent professional advice.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018 29

Corporate Governance Statement

Board Composition
Kina has developed a succession plan that ensures the Board has the appropriate mix of skills, experience,  
and knowledge. 

To assist in identifying areas of focus and maintaining an appropriate mix of skills and experience, the Board uses  
a self-assessment questionnaire to measure skills and experience. The Board has identified nine specific skills and experience 
which Directors measure themselves against. The questionnaire is crafted to ensure that those skills and experience required 
in order to achieve the current strategic objectives are present on the Board. Where they are not, the Board seeks to 
supplement any gaps through Director training or recruitment. Where requirements are for a finite period, for example, 
during a specific project, the Board will seek to utilise expertise of existing personnel or engage consultants.

Kina’s Board presents specific strengths in regard to strategy development and operational implementation of strategy. 
Along with comprehensive experience in financial services, the Directors’ knowledge and experience within risk 
management, regulatory compliance and governance are particularly relevant for the current stage of Kina’s growth and 
development. Further, the Directors recognise the need to ensure there is appropriate experience and knowledge of PNG 
and, currently, this is an area that the Board is seeking to further develop. 

The Board has also focussed its attention to the Group’s diversity and culture, particularly in light of the Company’s 
acquisition of ANZ’s Retail, SME and Commercial businesses in PNG (ANZ Acquisition) which is on target to complete by 
the end of September 2019. 

Board skills matrix

The Board seeks to have an appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity to enable it to discharge its 
responsibilities and add value to the Company.

As at 28 March 2019, the Directors collectively contribute the following key skills and experience:

Independence
The Board considers an Independent Director to be a 
Non-Executive Director who is not a member of Kina’s 
Senior Management Team and who is free of any business 
or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or 
reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the 
independent exercise of their judgement. 

The Board reviews the independence of each Director in 
light of interests disclosed to the Board regularly (and at 
least annually) and considers the following examples of 
interests, positions, associations and relationships that 
might cause doubts about the independence of a director 
include if the director:

• 

• 

• 

• 

is, or has been, employed in an executive capacity by 
the entity or any of its child entities and there has not 
been a period of at least three years between ceasing 
such employment and serving on the board;

is, or has within the last three years been, a partner, 
director or senior employee of a provider of material 
professional services to the entity or any of its child 
entities;

is, or has been within the last three years, in a material 
business relationship (eg as a supplier or customer) with 
the entity or any of its child entities, or an officer of, or 
otherwise associated with, someone with such a 
relationship;

is a substantial security holder of the entity or an officer 
of, or otherwise associated with, a substantial security 
holder of the entity;

•  has a material contractual relationship with the entity or 

its child entities other than as a director;

•  has close family ties with any person who falls within any 

of the categories described above; or

•  has been a director of the entity for such a period that 
his or her independence may have been compromised.

The Board considers that each of the Non-Executive 
Directors bring objective and independent judgement to 
Board deliberations and makes a valuable contribution to 
Kina through the skills and experience they bring to the 
Board and their understanding of Kina’s business.

Throughout the year, the Board had a majority of 
Independent Directors. 

Director induction and education 
Kina’s induction program is designed to provide all new 
Directors with a comprehensive view of the business. As 
part of the induction, new Directors are given a detailed 
overview of Kina’s operations, copies of governance and 
internal policies and procedures and instruction on the 
roles and responsibilities of the Board, its Committees and 
Senior Management. The electronic Board portal utilised 
by the Board provides Directors access to relevant 
Governance Documents, educational information, Board 
and Committee papers and provides a secure means of 
communication between Directors and Senior 
Management. There is a strong emphasis on continued 
education and Directors are expected to keep themselves 
updated on changes and trends within the business, in the 
financial sector, market environment and any changes and 
trends in the economic, political, social, global, 
environmental and legal climate generally.

As required by the BPNG, all Directors have completed a 
minimum of 20 hours during the year to their ongoing 
professional development. Directors are encouraged to 
attend recognised courses, seminars and conferences and 
internal education sessions are scheduled at Board 
meetings throughout the year.

performance and ensure that Board composition and the 
skills and experience of the Directors is appropriate. 

Performance evaluations, overseen by the Chairman in the 
case of the CEO, and the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee in the case of Senior Management, are carried  
out on an annual basis and were completed in the year  
under review. An external independent review of the Board 
and directors is currently underway and is scheduled to be 
completed by the end of April 2019.

Chairman
In accordance with the Board Charter, the Chairman  
of the Board is an Independent Director. The roles and 
responsibilities of the Chairman are contained within the 
Board Charter.

throughout the Group. Members of Senior Management are 
remunerated in a way that aims to attract and retain an 
appropriate level of talent and reflects their performance in 
relation to the delivery of corporate strategy and operational 
performance. Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is 
set using advice from independent consultants and takes into 
account the level of fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of 
similar corporations and the responsibilities and work

Acting ethically and responsibly
The Board is committed to ensuring that Kina maintains the 
highest standards of integrity, honesty and fairness in its 
dealings with all stakeholders, and that Kina complies with 
all legal and other obligations.

Kina’s Code of Corporate Conduct applies to all employees 
of Kina and its subsidiaries (including subcontractors and 
consultants). There is a separate Code of Conduct for 
Directors (Codes of Conduct). The Codes of Conduct set 
out certain minimum standards of conduct that Kina 
expects of its Employees and Directors including integrity, 
diligence, impartiality, equality and fairness. The Codes of 
Conduct set out how Employees and Directors are to 
conduct themselves in order to meet these minimum 
standards. It is a requirement for all Directors and Officers 
to acknowledge this policy annually.

Diversity
The Diversity Policy emphasises Kina’s commitment to the 
maintenance and promotion of a workplace that ensures 
equity and fairness and is free from discrimination, 
harassment, bullying and victimisation. Kina recognises the 
importance of embracing diversity, specifically in valuing 
the unique qualities, attributes, skills and experiences each 
employee brings to the workplace.

The Company’s vision for diversity incorporates a number 
of different factors, including but not limited to gender, 
ethnicity and cultural background, disability, age and 
educational experience. The Diversity Policy provides a 
framework to help Kina achieve its diversity goals, while 
creating a commitment to a diverse work environment 
where staff are treated fairly and with respect, and have 
equal access to workplace opportunities.

Kina is an inaugural member of the Business Coalition  
for Women and through the year has provided specialist 
training to female team leaders to assist with their career 
development. Kina is a strong advocate for gender smart 
policies in the workplace and provides both maternity and 
paternity leave for its workers. Also, within the first six 
months’ of a child’s life, new parents are provided with  
paid leave to enable time out of the workplace to feed  
new babies. 

The ratio of women to men at Kina is almost 60% female to 
40% male. In 2018, Kina launched the Employee Assistance 
Program which offers support, counselling, legal assistance 
and advice from independent professionals to help 
manage or negotiate difficult situations. Designed to help 
deal with psychological, financial or workplace issues, the 
service is free of charge and available 24/7. Kina also 
re-launched its Staff Recognition Program to celebrate the 
success of Employees who demonstrate the Company’s 
values and behaviours and who demonstrate outstanding 
community service. Kina continues to fund private health 
insurance for all staff. 

The Group will continue to promote awareness and 
understanding of workplace diversity principles and 
develop policies to assist employees balance work, 
 family and cultural responsibilities whilst at the same 
time removing barriers to career development.

Senior Management are those individuals who report 
directly to the MD/CEO. Team Leaders are those 
individuals who have been appointed as Supervisors  
and Managers. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews 
and oversees the implementation of the Diversity Policy.  
As part of the completion of the ANZ Acquisition, the 
Board’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee is 
reassessing the Company’s measurable objectives and will 
report on progress of this review in the FY2019 Statement.

Timely and balanced disclosure
Kina is committed to observing its disclosure obligations 
under the ASX Listing Rules, the POMSoX Listing Rules,  
the PNG Act, the Corporations Act and the PNG Securities 
Act. The Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy 
(and a Shareholder Communication Policy) that implement 
Kina’s commitment to providing timely, complete and 
accurate disclosure of information.

The Continuous Disclosure Policy sets out the roles and 
responsibilities of officers and employees in complying 
with Kina’s continuous disclosure obligations and 
nominates those individuals who are responsible for 
determining whether or not information is required to  
be disclosed. 

Shareholder Communications

The Shareholder Communications Policy promotes 
effective communication with shareholders and seeks to 
ensure that shareholders have equal and timely access to 
material information concerning Kina. The Policy sets out 
the investor relations program, a key tenet of which is to 
encourage effective shareholder participation. 
Shareholders are encouraged to attend General Meetings 
of shareholders and shareholder information sessions and 
to submit written questions prior to those meetings. 

Kina’s website (www.kina.com.pg) contains information 
regarding the Company, the Board and Senior 
Management team, corporate governance, media 
coverage, ASX announcements, investor presentations  
and reports. 

Kina’s Investor Relations Program includes a number 
of scheduled and ad hoc interactions with institutional 
investors, private investors, sell-side and buy-side analysts 
and the financial media. At a minimum, so as to ensure 
that shareholders and other stakeholders have a full 
understanding of Kina’s performance and strategies, 
Kina will convene analyst briefings twice a year on Kina’s 
financial performance and objectives. 

In accordance with the Shareholder Communications 
Policy, shareholders are encouraged to attend General 
Meetings of shareholders, or, if they are unable to attend,

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018 35

Corporate Governance Statement

All lending proposals are considered based on credit 
policy and within the risk appetite of the Group. Debt 
servicing assessment criteria is maintained to ensure Kina 
understands its level of credit risk whilst managing its 
impairment exposure. 

Kina Bank Limited (KBL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kina, 
is exposed to the economic conditions of PNG through its 
normal course of business in lending monies to commercial 
businesses operating in PNG. KBL does not have any 
material exposure to environmental or social  
sustainability risks. 

Dealings in Company Securities
The Board has adopted a Securities Trading Policy that 
applies to Kina’s equity-based remuneration scheme and 
explains the conduct that is prohibited under the PNG 
Securities Act and the Corporations Act.

The Securities Trading Policy:

•  provides for certain Trading Windows when ‘Relevant 
Persons’ may trade provided the appropriate process 
has been adhered to;

•  prohibits any Relevant Person from entering into a 
hedge transaction involving unvested equity held 
pursuant to an Employee, Senior Management or 
Director Equity Plan operated by Kina;

•  sets out the prohibitions against insider trading and 
prescribes certain requirements for dealing in Kina 
securities; and

•  prohibits Relevant Persons from trading in Kina 

securities while in possession of material non-public 
information, which is information a reasonable person 
would expect to have a material effect on the price or 
value of Kina securities.

Risk Management and Internal Controls
Risk is managed structurally through clearly defined risk 
management policies specific to certain parts of the 
business. These are interlinked and feed into a Group Risk 
Management Framework, which is overseen by the Audit 
and Risk Committee. The Board has approved and 
regularly reviews and updates the Group’s Risk Appetite 
Statement and tolerance limits as part of the Group Risk 
Management Framework, to ensure that all major areas of 
risk and risk management systems are appropriately 
monitored and accurately documented. The Committee  
is supported by a number of approved risk management 
committees, including the Credit Committee, Asset  
and Liability Committee and Executive Committee.  
The Operational Risk division nurtures a strong and  
robust risk culture within the Group through the  
application of the three lines of defence model. 
Communication and education throughout the Group 
 on the three lines of defence model emphasises each 
individual’s role in the management of risk. During 2018, 
the Group’s Risk Management Framework, including 
underlying policies, was reviewed by the Audit and Risk 
Committee and, where relevant, by the Board.

A dedicated Compliance department is in place to ensure 
that Kina personnel are aware of the Group’s prudential 
and legislative obligations and that these are maintained at 
all times. Operational risk within the Group is monitored 
including an ongoing Workplace Health and Safety regime 
which is designed to maintain the safety of Kina’s 
Employees and Customers. The Group’s risk management 
activities comply with all relevant regulation including that 
of the BPNG Standards, relevant legislation and the 
Investment Promotion Authority (IPA).

Kina has also employed skilled credit managers who have 
an understanding of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) 
economic environment to ensure that the growing loan 
portfolio is maintained within an acceptable level of risk 
and within Kina’s agreed risk appetite. 

Kina’s risk management framework and internal control 
functions incorporate an Internal Audit function which 
reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee.  
The Internal Audit function continues to be co-sourced  
with external providers which brings the benefit of 
enhancing Kina personnel’s existing knowledge 
and expertise. The Internal Audit function provides 
independent and objective assurance to the Board,  
via the Audit and Risk Committee. The annual Internal 
Audit Plan is formulated using a risk based approach. 
Progress against the Internal Audit Plan is reported  
to the Committee on a quarterly basis.

The Board has determined that to align the interests of Kina’s Senior Executive Team and the goals of Kina and to assist  
in the attraction, motivation and retention of management and employees of Kina, the remuneration packages of the  
CEO and the other Senior Executives of Kina should comprise the following components: 

Fixed remuneration

Total fixed remuneration comprises base salary, other non-cash benefits and includes 
superannuation. 

STI Plan

The STI plan provides participants with an opportunity to earn an incentive calculated as a 
percentage of their salary each year, conditional upon achievement of individual KPIs which  
may consist of financial and, if applicable non-financial performance measures.
The incentive earned will be paid:

•  65% in cash

•  35% in an offer of performance rights.

The cash portion of the incentive will be paid in the next pay cycle following confirmation of the 
performance outcomes being achieved. The Performance Rights portion will be issued in one 
tranche and will remain payable even following resignation. 
The Board has the right to vary the Award.

A long term incentive plan that provides an opportunity for employees to receive an equity interest 
in Kina through the granting of LTI Performance Rights.
Under the LTI Plan, LTI Participants may be offered LTI Performance Rights that are subject to 
vesting conditions set by the Board. 

A one-off equity based performance rights plan to assist in the retention and reward of  
key eligible employees.
The Kina Board has discretion as to whether the Retention Plan will continue and apply to 
 other KMP.

allowances and tax advisory services. FR is reviewed annually, or on promotion. It is benchmarked against market  
data for comparable roles in companies in a similar industry and with similar market capitalisation. The committee

Performance measures

Description

The CEO and Senior Executive Team are eligible to participate in the STI Plan (STI Participants).

Cash bonus: 65% of the STI Participant’s award under the STI Plan. 
STI Performance Rights: 35% of the STI Participant’s award under the STI Plan.

Individual KPIs specific to each Participant are agreed during the performance appraisal process 
each year. These KPIs consist of both financial and non-financial performance measures and are 
agreed with the CEO and KMP at the start of each year. 
No STI is payable unless a minimum Group NPAT is achieved. The Board has the right to vary this 
requirement.
The Board allocates an annual pool to the STI each year. There are levels of targeted performance 
for allocation of the pool for 2018:

•  Minimum (85% of budget)

•  Threshold (85% – 100% budget) 

50% 

•  Target (Budget 100%) 

•  Stretch (100+ to 110%+) 

•  Stretch (120%+) 

90%

100%     

up to 120%

The pool is then allocated in accordance with the maximum and target STI for each KMP (which is 
detailed later) as a percentage of Gross pay. The Board has the right to vary the award.

The number of STI Performance Rights granted is determined by dividing the award value by the 
10 day volume weighted average price per share prior to 31 December of the year of award. 

Vesting of STI  
Performance Rights

STI Performance Rights are restricted from exercise until the second anniversary after the grant 
date and will vest on the second anniversary. These are not subject to any further measurement

Calculation of  
Fair Value of LTI 
Performance Rights

Fair value of the LTI performance rights subject to TSR and EPS vesting conditions for financial 
reporting purposes is generally estimated based on market share price at grant date and using  
a simulation pricing model applying assumptions price volatility, risk free interest rates and dividend 
yields. Kina engaged an independent valuation expert who performed fair value calculations on the 
grants based on the valuation methodologies referenced above and below.

TSR:
A Monte Carlo simulation approach is used to value the Awards subject to the relative TSR 
performance condition as it incorporates an appropriate amount of flexibility with respect to different 
features of the award. This approach is assumed to follow Geometric Brownian motion under a risk-
neutral measure as follows;

• 

• 

 Simulates correlations between Kina’s proxy and other peer companies as well as correlations 
between other companies in the group

 Rank simulated performances and the proportion of relative TSR award vested as calculated  
based on vesting schedule

•  Record present value of TSR-hurdle award vested.
The above process is repeated multiple times and the estimated fair value is the average of the results.

EPS:
Fair value of awards subject to EPS is calculated using a risk-neutral assumption. The fair value is the 
difference between the share prices of the underlying asset, minus the expected present value of 
future dividends over the expected life if holders of the underlying asset are not entitled to receive 
future dividends. The fair value of the awards subject to EPS performance condition will be equal to 
the share price of the underlying asset if holders are entitled to receive future dividends.

  Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter Impairment of non-current assets As at 31 December 2018 the Group has recognised goodwill amounting to K92.7m, arising from the acquisitions of Maybank (PNG) Limited and Maybank Property (PNG) Limited as disclosed in Note 30. In accordance the relevant accounting standards the CGUs including goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually. The impairment test requires significant judgement due to assumptions required in preparing a discounted cash flow model (‘value in use’), including: - Identification of appropriate Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which goodwill is allocated for the purpose of impairment testing; - Future cash flows for the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’); - Discount rates; and - Terminal value growth rates. In conjunction with our valuation specialists, our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: - Evaluating the appropriateness of management’s identification of the Group’s CGUs and testing of key controls over the impairment assessment process, including the identification of indicators of impairment; - Assessing the reasonableness of cash flow projections and growth rates against external economic and financial data, the Group’s own historical performance and historical forecasting reasonableness; - Assessing the key assumptions and methodology used by management in impairment model, in particular the weighted average cost of capital, the cost of debt and the terminal growth rate; - Evaluating the value in use estimate determined by management against the Company’s market capitalisation; and - Testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment model. We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 30 to the financial statements.  Other Information   The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report (but does not include the financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the annual report, which is expected to made available after that date.   Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.   In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.   If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.   Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and other generally accepted accounting practice in Papua New Guinea and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.   In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  Independent auditor’s report

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted 
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement 
when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if, 
individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

forgery, 

  Obtain an  understanding  of  internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the 
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. 

We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and  to communicate with them  all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public

  disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

1.1  General information
The Company and its subsidiaries are incorporated in 
Papua New Guinea. The Groups business activities include 
provision of banking services, personal and commercial 
loans, money market operations, provision of share 
brokerage, fund administration, investment management 
services, asset financing, and corporate advice.

1.2  Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have 
been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the 
Papua New Guinea Companies Act 1997.

The consolidated financial statements as at and for the 
year ended 31 December 2018 were authorized for issue  
by the Board of Directors on 29 March2019.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of 
certain financial instruments at fair value. Cost is based  
on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange 
for assets.

1.3 

 Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily 
effective for the current reporting period
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof 
effective for the current financial year, and which have been 
applied in the preparation of these financial statements, 
that are relevant to the Group include:

• 

• 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related amending 
Standards

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and 
related amending Standards.

The adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 have resulted in change 
of accounting policies of the Group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related amending 
Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied IFRS 9 Financial 
Instruments (as revised) and the related consequential 
amendments to other Accounting Standards for the first 
time. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for 1) the 
classification and measurement of financial assets and 
financial liabilities, 2) impairment for financial assets and 3) 
general hedge accounting. Details of these new 
requirements as well as their impact on the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements are described below.

The Group has applied IFRS 9 in accordance with the 
transition provisions set out in the standard, and has 
chosen not to restate the comparatives. Any adjustment 
arising as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 is recognised in 
opening retained earnings.

Classification and measurement of financial assets
All recognized financial assets that are within the scope  
of IFRS 9 are required to be subsequently measured at 
amortized cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s 
business model for managing the financial assets and the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

Specifically:

•  Debt investments that are held within a business model 
whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, 
and that have contractual cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal 
amount outstanding, are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost

•  Debt investments that are held within a business model 
whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash 
flows and to sell the debt instruments, and that have 
contractual cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount 
outstanding, are subsequently measured at fair value 
through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

•  All other debt investments and equity investments are 
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or 
loss (FVTPL).

Despite the aforegoing, the Group may make the following 
irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a 
financial asset:

•  The Group may irrevocably elect to present 

subsequent changes in fair value of an equity 
investment that is neither held for trading nor 
contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in 
a business combination to which IFRS 3 Business 
Combinations applies in other comprehensive income

•  The Group may irrevocably designate a debt 

investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI 
criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or 
significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

In the current year, the Group has not designated any debt 
investments that meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI 
criteria as measured at FVTPL.

When a debt investment measured at FVTOCI is 
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously 
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified 
from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification 
adjustment. In contrast, for an equity investment 
designated as measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or 
loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income 
is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

Debt instruments that are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost or at FVTOCI are subject to impairment.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018As at 01 January 2018, the directors of the Company 
reviewed and assessed the Group’s existing financial 
assets using reasonable and supportable information that 
is available without undue cost or effort in accordance with 
the requirements of IFRS 9 to determine the credit risk of 
the respective items at the date they were initially 
recognised, and compared that to the credit risk as at  
01 January 2018. The result of the assessment is as follows:

The directors of the Company reviewed and assessed the 
Group’s existing financial assets as at 01 January 2018 
based on the facts and circumstances that existed at that 
date and concluded that the initial application of IFRS 9 
has had the following impact on the Group’s financial 
assets as regards their classification and measurement:

•  Loans and receivables under IAS 39 that were 

measured at amortised cost continue to be measured 
at amortised cost under IFRS 9 as they are held within a 
business model to collect contractual cash flows and 
these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal 
and interest on the principal amount outstanding;

•  Financial assets that were measured at FVTPL under 

IAS 39 continue to be measured as such under IFRS 9; 
and

•  There are no financial instruments that should be 
classified or otherwise designed at FVTOCI.

None of the reclassifications of financial assets have had 
any impact on the Group’s financial position, profit or loss, 
other comprehensive income or total comprehensive 
income for either period.

Impairment of financial assets
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 
requires an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model as opposed 
to an ‘incurred credit loss’ model under IAS 39. The 
expected credit loss model requires the Group to account 
for ECLs and changes in those ECLs at each reporting date 
to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of 
the financial assets. In other words, it is no longer 
necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit 
losses are recognised.

Specifically, IFRS 9 requires the Group to recognise a loss 
allowance for ECL on i) debt investments subsequently 
measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, ii) lease 
receivables, iii) contract assets and iv) loan commitments 
and financial guarantee contracts to which the impairment 
requirements of IFRS 9 apply.

In particular, IFRS 9 requires the Group to measure the loss 
allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to 
the lifetime ECL if the credit risk on that financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial 
recognition, or if the financial instrument is a purchased or 
originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial asset. On the 
other hand, if the credit risk on a financial instrument has 
not increased significantly since initial recognition (except 
for a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial 
asset), the Group is required to measure the loss allowance 
for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 
months ECL. IFRS 9 also provides a simplified approach for 
measuring the loss allowance at an amount equal to 
lifetime ECL for trade receivables, contract assets and 
lease receivables in certain circumstances.

Credit risk attributes at 01 January 2018
Management believes that cash and due from bank balances are 
subject to a very low credit risk at initial recognition with negligible 
default probability. As a result, the corresponding ECL on these 
financial assets is deemed to be immaterial.

Management believes that treasury and central bank bills balances 
are subject to a very low credit risk at initial recognition with 
negligible default probability. As a result, the corresponding ECL on 
these financial assets is deemed to be immaterial.

Management believes that regulatory deposits balances are subject 
to a very low credit risk at initial recognition with negligible default 
probability. As a result, the corresponding ECL on these financial 
assets is deemed to be immaterial.

Management has followed the ‘staging’ approach by identifying if 
there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and 
measured the ECLs either as 12 month or life time as the case may be.

The additional credit loss allowance of K5,457,059 as at  
01 January 2018 has been recognised against retained 
earnings, net of its related deferred tax impact of K1,637,118, 
resulting in a net decrease in retained earnings of K3,819,941 
as at 01 January 2018. The application of the IFRS 9 
impairment requirements has resulted in additional  
loss allowance of K1,039,423 to be recognised in the  
current period.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The application of IFRS 9 has had no impact on  
the classification and measurement of the Group’s  
financial liabilities.

Disclosures in relation to the initial application of IFRS 9
The Group has not restated prior periods, but recognised 
the difference between the previous carrying amount and 
the carrying amount at the beginning of the annual 
reporting period that includes the date of initial application 
in the opening retained earnings of the annual reporting 
period. The table below shows information relating to 
financial assets and liabilities that have been reclassified as 
a result of transition to IFRS 9.

The additional loss allowance recognised upon the initial application of IFRS 9 as disclosed above resulted entirely from a 
change in the measurement attribute of the loss allowance relating to each financial asset. The change in classification 
category of the different financial assets has had no impact on their respective carrying amounts on initial application as 
such a reconciliation between the classification categories under IAS 39 and IFRS 9 has not been presented in these 
financial statements. 

There were no financial assets or financial liabilities which the Group had previously designated as at FVTPL under IAS 39 
that were subject to reclassification, or which the Group has elected to reclassify upon the application of IAS 39. There 
were no financial assets or financial liabilities which the Group has elected to designate as at FVTPL at the date of initial 
application of IFRS 9.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and 
related amending Standards
The Group has applied IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers (as amended) for the first time in the 
current period. In accordance with the transition provisions 
set out in the standard, the Group has chosen to apply the 
modified retrospective method to qualifying financial 
instruments for the first-time adoption of IFRS 15.

IFRS 15 introduces 5-step approach to revenue 
recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance has 
been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios.  
Details of these new requirements as well as their impact 
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements are 
described below.

Apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the 
Group’s revenue transactions, the application of IFRS 15 
has not had a significant impact on the financial position 
and/or financial performance of the Group. Significant 
revenue streams of the Group falling within the scope of 
IFRS 15 are explained below.

Investment and portfolio management

(a) 
The Group manages investments for a number  
of superannuation funds and corporate clients.  
These services are provided by the Group on monthly 
basis and therefore billed accordingly. Revenue is 
recognised as and when the bill is raised i.e. when 
performance obligation is satisfied. There has been  
no adjustment to the current revenue recognition 
methodology of the Group as a result of adoption of  
IFRS 15.

(b)  Fund administration
The Group earns a fee through administration of funds  
for its customers based on the fee rates agreed under the 
terms of the contract. The services are billed to customers 
on monthly basis at which point revenue is recognised,  
i.e. at the time when performance obligation is satisfied.  
There has been no adjustment to the current revenue 
recognition methodology of the Group as a result of 
adoption of IFRS 15.

66

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

(c)  Share brokerage
The Group generates share brokerage from trading 
services for customers on Port Moresby Stock Exchange 
(“POMSOX”) and Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”). 
Revenue is recognised upon settlement of the trade which 
is commensurate with when the performance obligation is 
satisfied. There has been no adjustment to the current 
revenue recognition methodology of the Group as a result 
of adoption of IFRS 15.

(d)  Loan fee and bank commission
The Group charges various loan fees and commissions  
to its customers from time to time during tenure of the 
loan unrelated to the origination of the loans. Revenue  
is recognised when services promised under the contract  
are rendered and performance obligations are satisfied.  
There has been no adjustment to the current revenue 
recognition methodology of the Group as a result of 
adoption of IFRS 15.

1.4 

 New and revised IFRSs in issue but not  
yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, 
the Group has not applied the new and revised IFRS 16 
Leases that has been issued but are not yet effective 
before 01 January 2019:

IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective 01 January 2019) replaces the 
guidance in IAS 17 and will have a significant impact on 
accounting by lessees. The previous distinction under IAS 
17 between finance leases and operating leases for lessees 
has been removed. IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to 
recognise a lease liability representing future lease 
payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease 
contracts. There is an optional exemption for certain 
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Under 
IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset 
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  
The Group expects that certain leases of property and 
equipment that are currently accounted for as operating 
leases will, from 01 January 2019, be required to be 
recognised as right-of-use assets and depreciated,  
with a corresponding lease liability. This will increase 
reported debt levels in the consolidated statement of 
financial position and will increase the reporting charges 
for depreciation and interest expense. The details of the 
impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements 
are currently being assessed by management. 

In addition there are other standards and amendments 
that have been issued and are not expected to have any 
impact on the financial statements of the Group.

1.5  Basis of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
financial statements of the Company and its controlled 
entities (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December each 
year. Control is achieved when the Company:

•  has the power over the investee;

• 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable return from its 
involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an 
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control 
listed above. When the Group has less than a majority of 
the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has 
power over the investee when the voting rights are 
sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the 
relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing 
whether or not the Group’s voting rights in an investee are 
sufficient to give it power, including:

• 

the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative 
to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other  
vote holders;

•  potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote 

holders or other parties;

• 

rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

•  any additional facts and circumstances that indicate 

that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability 
to direct the relevant activities at the time that 
decisions need to be made, including voting patterns 
at previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group 
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the 
results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the 
year are included in the consolidated profit or loss account 
from the date the Group gains control until the date when 
the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of OCI (other 
comprehensive income) are attributed to the owners of the 
Group and to the non-controlling interests (NCI), if any. 
Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is 
attributed to the owners of the Group and to the NCI.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial 
statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies 
used into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All 
intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses 
and cash flows relating to transactions between the 
members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation, 
with the exception of foreign currency gains and losses on 
intragroup monetary items denominated in a foreign 
currency of at least one of the parties.

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting  
policies (continued)

1.6  Segment reporting
Operating segments are presented on a basis that is 
consistent with information provided internally to the 
Group’s key decision makers. The chief operating decision-
maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and 
assessing performance of the operating segments, has 
been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Group 
has three reportable segments, which are the Company’s 
two business divisions – Kina Bank and Kina Wealth 
Management – and the Corporate segment  
(or unallocated costs).

1.7  Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each  
of the Group’s entities are measured using the  
currency of the primary economic environment in  
which the entity operates (the functional currency).  
The consolidated financial statements are presented  
in Kina, which is the Company’s and the Group’s  
functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions 
and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

Interest income and interest expense

1.8 
Interest income and expense for all financial instruments 
except for those classified as held for trading or those 
measured or designated as at FVTPL are recognised as 
‘Interest income’ or ‘Interest expense’ in the profit or loss 
account using the effective interest method.

The effective interest rate (EIR) is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash flows of the financial 
instrument through the expected life of the financial 
instrument or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to  
the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial 
liability. The future cash flows are estimated taking into 
account all the contractual terms of the instrument.

The calculation of the EIR includes all fees and points  
paid or received between parties to the contract that  
are incremental and directly attributable to the specific 
lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other 
premiums or discounts. For financial assets at FVTPL 
transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss at  
initial recognition. 

The interest income/expense is calculated by applying the 
EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired 
financial assets (i.e. at the amortised cost of the financial 
asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss 
allowance), or to the amortised cost of financial liabilities. 
For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is 
calculated by applying the EIR to the amortised cost of the 
credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying 
amount less the allowance for expected credit losses 
(ECLs)). For financial assets originated or purchased 
credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR reflects the ECLs in 
determining the future cash flows expected to be received 
from the financial asset.

1.9  Fee and commission income
The Group recognises fee and commission income from 
following major services it provides to customers:

• 

Investment and portfolio management – The Group 
manages investments for a number of superannuation 
funds and corporate clients. These services are 
provided by the Group on monthly basis and therefore 
billed accordingly. Revenue is recognised as and when 
the bill is raised i.e. when performance obligation  
is satisfied.

•  Fund administration – The Group earns a fee through 
administration of funds for its customers based on the 
fee rates agreed under the terms of the contract. The 
services are billed to customers on monthly basis at 
which point revenue is recognised, i.e. at the time when 
performance obligation is satisfied.

•  Share brokerage – The Group generates share 

brokerage from trading services for customers on Port 
Moresby Stock Exchange (“POMSOX”) and Australian 
Stock Exchange (“ASX”). Revenue is recognised upon 
settlement of the trade which is commensurate with 
when the performance obligation is satisfied.

•  Loan fee and bank commission – The Group  

charges various loan fee and commissions to its 
customers during the tenure of the loan unrelated  
to establishment of the loan facility. Revenue is 
recognised when services promised under the  
contract are rendered and performance obligations  
are satisfied.

1.10  Leasing 
Operating lease payments are recognised in the statement 
of comprehensive income as an expense on a straight-line 
basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is 
more representative of the time pattern of the benefit 
received. Incentives received on entering into operating 
leases are recorded as liabilities and amortized as a 
reduction of rental expense on a straight – line basis over 
the lease term.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 20181.11  Taxation
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax 
payable on the current period’s taxable income based on 
the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in 
deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences and to unused tax losses. 

1.12  Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to  
account for all business combinations, regardless  
of whether equity instruments or other assets are  
acquired. The consideration transferred for the  
acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the following:

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of 
the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of 
the reporting period in the country where the Company 
and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. 
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax 
returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax 
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes 
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts 
expected to be paid to the tax authority.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability 
method, on temporary differences arising between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in 
the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred 
tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial 
recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not 
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or liability in a transaction other than a business 
combination that at the time of the transaction affects 
neither accounting nor taxable profit and loss. Deferred 
income tax is determined using tax rate (and law) that have 
been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the 
reporting period and are expected to apply when the 
related deferred income tax asset is realized or the 
deferred income tax liability is settled. 

The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property 
that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the 
property will be recovered entirely through sale. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those 
temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is  
a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the 
same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax 
liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle  
on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the  
liability simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this 
case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, respectively. 

• 

• 

fair values of the assets transferred 

liabilities incurred to the former owners of the  
acquired business 

•  equity interests issued by the Group 

• 

• 

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from  
a contingent consideration arrangement, and 

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in  
the subsidiary. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with 
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at 
the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-
controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-
by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired 
entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs 
are expensed as incurred. 

The excess of the following is considered as goodwill:

•  consideration transferred, 

•  amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired 

entity, and 

•  acquisition date fair value of any previous equity 

interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the 
net identifiable assets acquired if those amounts are 
less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of 
the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised 
directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

Where settlement of any part of cash 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. 

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a 
financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability 
are subsequently re-measured to fair value with changes in 
fair value recognised in profit or loss. 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously 
held equity interest in the acquire is re-measured to fair 
value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising 
from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

 Summary of significant accounting  
policies (continued)

1.13	 Impairment	of	non-financial	assets
Goodwill having an indefinite useful life is not subject to 
amortization and is tested annually for impairment or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which 
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s 
fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the 
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at 
the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable 
cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash 
inflows from other assets or groups of assets cash-
generating units (CGU). 

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered 
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at the end of each reporting period. 

1.14  Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash 
flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 
short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less from date of acquisition 
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value, and bank overdrafts. 

1.15  Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in 
the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a 
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are 
initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are 
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial 
assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets 
and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted 
from the fair value of the financial assets or financial 
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction 
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial 
assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets
All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a 
trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is 
under a contract whose terms require delivery of the 
financial asset within the timeframe established by the 
market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, 
plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets 
classified as at FVTPL. 

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of 
financial assets classified as at FVTPL are recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of 
IFRS 9 are required to be subsequently measured at 
amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s 
business model for managing the financial assets and the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

Specifically:

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model 
whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, 
and that have contractual cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal 
amount outstanding (SPPI), are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost;

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model 
whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash 
flows and to sell the debt instruments, and that have 
contractual cash flows that are SPPI, are subsequently 
measured at FVTOCI; 

•  all other debt instruments (e.g. debt instruments 

managed on a fair value basis, or held for sale) and 
equity investments are subsequently measured at 
FVTPL.

Debt instruments at amortised cost or at FVTOCI
The Group assesses the classification and measurement of 
a financial asset based on the contractual cash flow 
characteristics of the asset and the Group’s business 
model for managing the asset. The Group classifies and 
measures at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, assets where 
contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal 
outstanding (SPPI).

For the purpose of SPPI test, principal is the fair value of 
the financial asset at initial recognition. That principal 
amount may change over the life of the financial asset (e.g. 
if there are repayments of principal). Interest consists of 
consideration for the time value of money, for the credit 
risk associated with the principal amount outstanding 
during a particular period of time and for other basic 
lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin. The SPPI 
assessment is made in the currency in which the financial 
asset is denominated. 

An assessment of business models for managing financial 
assets is fundamental to the classification of a financial 
asset. The Group determines the business models at a 
level that reflects how groups of financial assets are 
managed together to achieve a particular business 
objective. The Group’s business model does not depend 
on management’s intentions for an individual instrument, 
therefore the business model assessment is performed at 
a higher level of aggregation rather than on an instrument-
by-instrument basis.

70

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018At initial recognition of a financial asset, the Group 
determines whether newly recognised financial assets are 
part of an existing business model or whether they reflect 
the commencement of a new business model. The Group 
reassess its business models each reporting period to 
determine whether the business models have changed 
since the preceding period.

A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a 
financial instrument if the credit risk on that financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial 
recognition. For all other financial instruments, ECLs are 
measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL. More 
details on the determination of a significant increase in 
credit risk and determination of ECL are provided in note 3.

Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL are:

•  assets with contractual cash flows that are not SPPI;  

or/and

•  assets that are held in a business model other than held 
to collect contractual cash flows or held to collect and 
sell; or

•  assets designated at FVTPL using the fair value option.

These assets are measured at fair value, with any gains/
losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit  
or loss. 

Reclassification
If the business model under which the Group holds 
financial assets changes, the financial assets affected  
are reclassified. The classification and measurement 
requirements related to the new category apply 
prospectively from the first day of the first reporting period 
following the change in business model that results in 
reclassifying the Group’s financial assets. During the 
current financial year there was no change in the business 
model under which the Group holds financial assets and 
therefore no reclassifications were made. Changes in 
contractual cash flows are considered under the 
accounting policy on Modification and derecognition  
of financial assets described below.

Impairment
The Group measures and recognises loss allowances  
for ECLs on the following financial instruments that are  
not measured at FVTPL:

• 

• 

loans and advances;

investment in government inscribed stocks;

•  other financial assets;

• 

loan commitments issued; and

•  financial guarantee contracts issued.

ECLs are required to be measured through a loss 
allowance at an amount equal to:

•  12-month ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from those 
default events on the financial instrument that are 
possible within 12 months after the reporting date, 
(referred to as Stage 1); or

• 

full lifetime ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from all 
possible default events over the life of the financial 
instrument, (referred to as Stage 2 and Stage 3).

Credit impaired financial assets
A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more 
events that have a detrimental impact on the recovery of 
the financial asset have occurred. Credit-impaired financial 
assets are referred to as Stage 3 assets. Evidence of 
credit-impairment includes observable data about the 
following events:

•  significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

•  a breach of contract such as a default or past  

due event;

• 

• 

• 

• 

the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual 
reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, 
having granted to the borrower a concession that the 
lender would not otherwise consider;

the disappearance of an active market for a security 
because of financial difficulties; or

the purchase of a financial asset at a deep discount that 
reflects the incurred credit losses; or

the facility is overdue by more than specified number  
of days.

The Group assesses whether debt instruments that are 
financial assets measured at amortised cost are credit-
impaired at each reporting date. To assess if sovereign and 
corporate debt instruments are credit impaired, the Group 
considers factors such as bond yields, credit ratings and 
the ability of the borrower to raise funding.

A loan is considered credit-impaired when a concession is 
granted to the borrower due to a deterioration in the 
borrower’s financial condition, unless there is evidence that 
as a result of granting the concession the risk of not 
receiving the contractual cash flows has reduced 
significantly and there are no other indicators of 
impairment. For financial assets where concessions are 
contemplated but not granted the asset is deemed credit 
impaired when there is observable evidence of credit-
impairment including meeting the definition of default.

Definition of default
The definition of default is used in measuring the amount 
of ECL and in the determination of whether the loss 
allowance is based on 12-month or lifetime ECL, as default 
is a component of the probability of default (PD) which 
affects both the measurement of ECLs and the 
identification of a significant increase in credit risk  
(see note 3).

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018 71

1. 

 Summary of significant accounting  
policies (continued)

1.15  Financial instruments (continued)

Definition of default (continued)
The Group considers the following as constituting an event 
of default:

• 

• 

the borrower is past due more than a specified number 
of days depending upon the type of loan arrangement 
on any material credit obligation to the Group; or

the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to 
the Group in full.

The definition of default is appropriately tailored to reflect 
different characteristics of different types of assets.  
For some loan arrangements, the Group has determined 
based on reasonable and supportable information that the 
default event has not occurred even if the contractual 
payments are more than 90 days past due and has 
therefore rebutted the presumption provided in IFRS 9. 
This is in line with general payment behavior of the 
borrowers in the economy.

When assessing if the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit 
obligation, the Group takes into account both qualitative 
and quantitative indicators. The information assessed 
depends on the type of the asset, for example in  
corporate lending a qualitative indicator used is the  
breach of covenants, which is not relevant for retail  
lending. Quantitative indicators, such as overdue status 
and non-payment on another obligation of the same 
counterparty are key inputs in this analysis. The Group  
uses a variety of sources of information to assess default 
which are either developed internally or obtained from 
external sources. More details are provided in note 3.

Significant increase in credit risk
The Group monitors all financial assets, issued loan 
commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are 
subject to the impairment requirements to assess whether 
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since 
initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in 
credit risk the Group will measure the loss allowance based 
on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL. The Group’s 
accounting policy is not to use the practical expedient that 
financial assets with ‘low’ credit risk at the reporting date 
are deemed not to have had a significant increase in credit 
risk. As a result the Group monitors all financial assets, 
issued loan commitments and financial guarantee 
contracts that are subject to impairment for significant 
increase in credit risk.

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial 
recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default 
occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date 
with the risk of a default occurring that was anticipated 
when the financial instrument was first recognised. In 
making this assessment, the Group considers both 

quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable 
and supportable. For some loan arrangements, the Group 
has determined based on reasonable and supportable 
information that credit risk has not increased significantly 
even if the contractual payments are more than 30 days 
past due and has therefore rebutted the presumption 
provided in IFRS 9. This is in line with general payment 
behavior of the borrowers in the economy. 

Write-off
Loans and debt securities are written off when the Group 
has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial 
asset (either in its entirety or a portion of it). This is the case 
when the Group determines that the borrower does not 
have assets or sources of income that could generate 
sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the 
write-off. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. 
The Group may apply enforcement activities to financial 
assets written off. Recoveries resulting from the Group’s 
enforcement activities will result in impairment gains.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of 
financial position
Loss allowances for ECL are presented in the statement of 
financial position as follows:

• 

• 

for financial assets measured at amortised cost:  
as a deduction from the gross carrying amount  
of the assets;

for loan commitments and financial guarantee 
contracts: as a provision; and

•  where a financial instrument includes both a drawn and 
an undrawn component, and the Group cannot identify 
the ECL on the loan commitment component 
separately from those on the drawn component: the 
Group presents a combined loss allowance for both 
components. The combined amount is presented as a 
deduction from the gross carrying amount of the drawn 
component. Any excess of the loss allowance over the 
gross amount of the drawn component is presented as 
a provision.

Financial liabilities
A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver 
cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial 
assets or financial liabilities with another entity under 
conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group 
or a contract that will or may be settled in the Group’s own 
equity instruments and is a non-derivative contract for 
which the Group is or may be obliged to deliver a variable 
number of its own equity instruments, or a derivative 
contract over own equity that will or may be settled other 
than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash (or another 
financial asset) for a fixed number of the Group’s own 
equity instruments.

Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’ 
as the Group does not have any financial liabilities that are 
classified or designated as at FVTPL.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including deposits and 
borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net  
of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.

1.16  Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost 
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated 
on the basis of straight line to write-off the cost of such 
assets to their residual values over their estimated lives  
as follows:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating 
interest expense over the relevant period. The EIR is the 
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments 
through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where 
appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount 
on initial recognition. 

Derecogniton of financial liabilities 
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only 
when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or 
have expired. The difference between the carrying amount 
of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration 
paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Group exchanges with the existing lender  
one debt instrument into another one with substantially 
different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an 
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the 
recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group 
accounts for substantial modification of terms of an 
existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of  
the original financial liability and the recognition of a  
new liability. 

Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires 
the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the 
holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails 
to make payments when due in accordance with the terms 
of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by a group entity are 
initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated 
as at FVTPL and not arising from a transfer of a financial 
asset, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• 

• 

the amount of the loss allowance determined  
in accordance with IFRS 9; and

the amount initially recognised less, where  
appropriate, cumulative amount of income  
recognised in accordance with the Group’s  
revenue recognition policies.

Financial guarantee contracts not designated at FVTPL are 
presented as provisions on the consolidated statement of 
financial position and the remeasurement is presented in 
other revenue.

The Group has not designated any financial guarantee 
contracts as at FVTPL. 

Furniture and fittings

Building improvements

Motor vehicles

Office equipment

11.25% to 15%

10%

15% to 30%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, 
and adjusted, if appropriate at each balance date. Gains 
and losses on disposal (being the difference between the 
carrying value at the time of sale or disposal and the 
proceeds received) are taken into account in determining 
operating profit for the year. Repairs and maintenance 
costs are charged to statement of comprehensive income, 
when the expenditure is incurred.

1.17  Intangible assets

Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as described in note 30. Goodwill  
is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually  
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost 
less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses  
on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount  
of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated  
to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment 
testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating 
units or groups of cash-generating units that are  
expected to benefit from the business combination in 
which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units  
are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is 
monitored for internal management purposes,  
being the operating segments. 

Customer deposits relationship
A customer deposit relationship asset was recognized with 
the acquisition of Maybank (PNG) Limited in 2015 (note 20), 
representing the value, or avoided cost, of having a 
deposit base from consumer and business transaction 
accounts, savings accounts, term deposits and other 
money market accounts that provide a cheaper source of 
funding than alternative sources of funding. Customer 
deposit relationship is amortized using the straight-line 
method over a period of five years and is stated at cost less 
accumulated amortization and impairment. Customer 
deposit relationship is also assessed for any indication of 
impairment at each reporting date and whenever there is 
an indicator that these maybe impaired.

 Summary of significant accounting  
policies (continued)
1.17  Intangible assets (continued)

Software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software 
programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.  
Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and 
unique software products controlled by the Group that  
will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs 
beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets. 
Direct costs include staff costs of the software 
development team and an appropriate portion of relevant 
overheads. Expenditure which enhances or extends the 
performance of computer software programs beyond their 
original specifications is recognized as a capital 
improvement and added to the original cost of the 
software. Computer software development costs 
recognized as assets are amortized using the straight-line 
method over their useful lives, not exceeding a period of 
five years.

1.18  Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present 
legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events,  
it is probable that outflow of resources embodying 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, 
and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligations 
can be made.

1.19	 Employee	benefits

Short-term obligations
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in 
respect of annual leave and other short term obligations 
when it is probable that settlement will be required and 
they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected 
to be settled within twelve months, are measured at their 
nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to 
apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognized in 
respect of employee benefits which are not expected to 
be settled within twelve months are measured as the 
present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be 
made by the Group in respect of services provided by 
employees up to reporting date.

The contributions in relation to employees of the Group 
who contribute to defined contribution pension plans are 
charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the 
year to which they relate.

Share-based payments
Senior executive employees are entitled to participate in  
a share ownership incentive scheme. The fair value of  
share rights provided to senior executive employees as 
share-based payments is recognized as an expense with  
a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is 
measured at grant date and is recognized over the period 
the services are received being the expected vesting 
period at the end of which the senior executive employees 
would become entitled to exercise their share rights.  
The fair value of the share based payments is based on the 
market price of the shares at grant date and market vesting 
conditions upon which the rights were granted.  
Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by 
adjusting the number of rights which will eventually vest.

Cash bonus
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for 
bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration 
the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after 
certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision 
where contractually obliged or where there is a past 
practice that has created a constructive obligation.

1.20   Share capital and other equity accounts

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental  
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares  
or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. 

Dividends
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized in  
equity in the period in which they are declared by  
the Company’s directors.

Reserves
Capital reserve comprises accumulated gains on historic 
asset revaluation. Share-based payment reserve comprises 
the fair value of unvested performance rights during the 
vesting period.

1.21  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit 
attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs 
of servicing equity other than ordinary shares by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the financial year (note 26b). 

74

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in  
the determination of basic earnings per share to take  
into account the after income tax effect of interest and 
other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of 
additional ordinary shares that would have been 
outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive 
potential ordinary shares. 

1.22  Fiduciary activities
The Group provides custodian, trustee, corporate 
administration, investment management and advisory 
services to third parties, which involve the Group making 
allocation and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a 
wide range of financial instruments. Those assets that are 
held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in these 
consolidated financial statements. Details of such 
investments held under trust may be found in note 29.

2.  Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which 
are described in note 1, the directors are required to make 
judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts 
recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not 
readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and 
associated assumptions are based on historical experience 
and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual 
results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and 
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in which the estimate is revised if the revision 
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and 
future periods if the revision affects both current and 
future periods.

The areas involving significant estimates or judgments are: 

•  Significant increase in credit risk – note 3

•  Recognition of deferred tax asset for carried forward 

tax losses – note 11 (a)

•  Estimated allowance for loans and advances to 

customers – note 16 and 3(b)

•  Estimated goodwill impairment – note 17 and note 30

•  Estimated useful life of intangible asset – note 20

•  Estimation of fair values of assets acquired and 

liabilities assumed in a business combination – note 30

•  Estimation of the fair value of performance right grants 
and the number of grants expected to vest – note 26(c).

3.  Financial risk management 
By its nature the Group’s activities are principally related to 
the use of financial instruments. The Group accepts 
deposits from customers at both fixed and floating rates 
and for various periods and seeks to earn above-average 
interest margins by investing these funds in high quality 
assets. The Group seeks to increase these margins by 
consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer 
periods at higher rates whilst maintaining sufficient 
liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due. The Group 
raises its interest margins by obtaining above-average 
margins, net of provisions, through lending to commercial 
and retail borrowers with a range of credit standing.

The Group also enters into transactions denominated in 
foreign currencies. This activity generally requires the 
Group to take foreign currency positions in order to exploit 
short-term movements in foreign currency market. The 
Board places trading limits on the level of exposure that 
can be taken in relation to both overnight and intra-day 
market positions. 

Risk in the Group is managed by a system of delegated 
limits. These limits set the maximum level of risks that can 
be assumed by each operational unit and the Group as a 
whole. The limits are delegated from the Board of 
Directors to executive management and then to the 
respective operational managers.

a)  Market risk
Market risk is the risk that movements in market factors, 
such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit 
spreads and equity prices, will reduce the Group’s income 
or the value of its portfolios.

The group is exposed to the following type of market risks:

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk;

(ii) 

Interest rate risk; and

(iii)  Equity price risk

Foreign exchange risk

(i) 
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in 
foreign currencies from time to time and resulting from 
these activities, exposures in foreign currencies arise. 
Though there are no specific hedging activities to mitigate 
any currency risk, this exposure is monitored by 
management on an ongoing basis.

As shown in the table above, the Group is primarily exposed to changes in US/PGK exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit 
or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from US dollar denominated financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

(ii) 
Interest rate risk in the statements of financial position arises from the potential for a change in interest rate to have an 
adverse effect on the earnings in the current and future years. As interest rates and yield curves change over time the 
Group may be exposed to a loss in earnings due to the effects of interest rates on the structure of the statements of 
financial position. Sensitivity to interest rates arises from mismatches in re-pricing dates, cash flows and other 
characteristics of the assets and their corresponding liability funding. 

These mismatches are actively managed by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO), which meets regularly to  
review the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates of the financial position and cash flows  
of the Group.

income at a Group level.

(iii)  Equity price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk due to the majority of the investments in listed equity securities 
through profit or loss. To manage its price risks arising from financials assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Group 
diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group’s 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are publicly traded on the Port Moresby Stock Exchange (POMSoX) and 
the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

Sensitivity

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting 
period. If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, net profit for the year ended 31 December 2018 and net assets as of 
balance date would have been affected by K237,128 (2017: K231,841). The Group’s sensitivity to equity prices has not 
changed significantly from the prior year.

Equity prices – increase 5% (2017:5%)

3.  Financial risk management (continued)
b)  Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the Group. The Group’s main income generating activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. 
Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances to customers and other banks (including related commitments to lend 
such as loan or credit card facilities) and investments in debt securities. The Group considers all elements of credit risk 
exposure such as counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.

(i)  Credit risk management
The Group’s credit committee is responsible for managing the Group’s credit risk by:

•  Ensuring that the Group has appropriate credit risk practices, including an effective system of internal control, to 

consistently determine adequate allowances in accordance with the Group’s stated policies and procedures, IFRS and 
relevant supervisory guidance.

• 

Identifying, assessing and measuring credit risk across the Group, from an individual instrument to a portfolio level.

•  Creating credit policies to protect the Group against the identified risks including the requirements to obtain collateral 
from borrowers, to perform robust ongoing credit assessment of borrowers and to continually monitor exposures 
against internal risk limits.

•  Limiting concentrations of exposure by type of asset, counterparties, industry, credit rating, geographic location etc.

•  Establishing a robust control framework regarding the authorisation structure for the approval and renewal of credit 

facilities.

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s risk grading to categorise exposures according to the degree of risk of 

default. Risk grades are subject to regular reviews.

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s processes for measuring ECL including monitoring of credit risk, 

incorporation of forward looking information and the method used to measure ECL.

•  Ensuring that the Group has policies and procedures in place to appropriately maintain and validate models used to 

assess and measure ECL.

•  Establishing a sound credit risk accounting assessment and measurement process that provides it with a strong basis 
for common systems, tools and data to assess credit risk and to account for ECL. Providing advice, guidance and 
specialist skills to business units to promote best practice throughout the Group in the management of credit risk.

The internal audit function performs regular audits making sure that the established controls and procedures are 
adequately designed and implemented.

(ii)  Significant increase in credit risk
As explained in note 1 the Group monitors all financial assets that are subject to impairment requirements to assess 
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in 
credit risk the Group will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL. The determination of 
significant increase in credit risk is driven by internal risk ratings and days by which the contractual payments under terms of 
the financial instrument are overdue as explained below. 

Internal credit risk ratings
In order to minimise credit risk, the Group has tasked its credit management committee to develop and maintain the 
Group’s credit risk grading to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The Group’s credit risk 
grading framework comprises eight categories. The credit rating information is based on a range of data that is determined 
to be predictive of the risk of default and applying experienced credit judgement. The nature of the exposure and type of 
borrower are taken into account in the analysis. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that 
are indicative of risk of default.

78

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018The credit risk grades are designed and calibrated to reflect the risk of default as credit risk deteriorates. As the credit risk 
increases the difference in risk of default between grades changes. Each exposure is allocated to a credit risk grade at initial 
recognition, based on the available information about the counterparty. All exposures are monitored and the credit risk 
grade is updated to reflect current information. The monitoring procedures followed are both general and tailored to the 
type of exposure. The following data are typically used to monitor the Group’s exposures:

•  Payment record, including payment ratios and ageing analysis;

•  Extent of utilisation of granted limit;

•  Forbearances (both requested and granted);

•  Changes in business, financial and economic conditions; Credit rating information supplied by external rating agencies;

•  For retail exposures: internally generated data of customer behaviour, affordability metrics etc.; and

•  For corporate exposures: information obtained by periodic review of customer files including audited financial 

statements review, known events and conditions impacting the credit risk of the borrower, changes in the financial 
sector the customer operates etc.

The Group uses credit risk grades as a primary input into the determination of whether there has been a significant increase 
in credit risk in addition to information on days past due. Following table provides how each credit grade is defined and its 
mapping to external credit rating:

Watch list/special mention. Credit weaknesses are evident and repayment capacity  
is jeopardised.

Substandard

Doubtful

Loss

A review of the effectiveness of the risk grading process is undertaken annually at a minimum and considers evidence 
abnormal or material variations, loss rates and quality of the information utilised to assess the credit risk. The Group 
determines that credit risk is deemed to have increased significantly if:

•  Credit rating of the borrower has deteriorated since initial recognition; or 

•  The facility is overdue to by a specific number of days depending upon the type of loan.

The Group has monitoring procedures in place to ensure that the criteria used to identify significant increases in credit are 
effective, meaning that significant increase in credit risk is identified before the exposure is defaulted. The Group performs 
periodic back-testing of its ratings to consider whether the drivers of credit risk that led to default were accurately reflected 
in the rating in a timely manner.

Incorporation of forward-looking information
In determining the ECL, expected cash flows are appropriately probability weighted and include adjustments for forward 
looking information. 

Measurement of ECL
The key inputs used for measuring ECL are (1) Probability of default (PD), (2) Loss given default (LGD) and (3) Exposure at 
default (EAD).

PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. It is estimated as at a point in time. The calculation is 
based on rating models, and assessed using rating tools tailored to the various categories of counterparties and exposures. 
These models are based on market data (where available), as well as internal data comprising both quantitative and 
qualitative factors. 

LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and 
those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from any collateral.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018 79

3.  Financial risk management (continued)

b)  Credit risk (continued)
EAD is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the 
reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, and expected draw downs on committed facilities. 

The Group determines PD and LGD through an internal risk rating model which classifies each exposure based on the risk 
rating and stage of default (as noted below) with each risk rating having an associated loss rate. The loss rates reflect 
weighted average PDs and LGDs. In addition, model adjustments are included in determination of ECL when it is judged 
that existing inputs, assumptions and model techniques do not capture all relevant risk factors.

The Group defines stage of default as follows:

Stage 1 

Stage 2 

Stage 3 

 These exposures are regarded as performing loans and lower loss rates are applied in determining the ECL 
representing ECL equivalent to 12 months expected losses. 

 Exposures are classified as Stage 2 if credit rating has worsened since initial recognition or if facility is overdue 
by specified number of days. 

 Stage 3 exposures are considered in default in accordance with the definition of default above. 

Groupings based on shared risks characteristics

Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements
The Group holds collateral or other credit enhancements to mitigate credit risk associated with financial assets. The main 
types of collateral and the types of assets these are associated with are listed in the table below.

Exposure type

Mortgage lending

Personal lending

Type of collateral held

Mortgage over residential property

Mortgage over residential property/bill of sale

Corporate lending

Mortgage over commercial property

Investment securities

Sovereign guarantee 

Lease receivables

Charge over property and equipment 

Bank guarantee and  
documentary letters of credit

Charge over cash deposit

In addition to the collateral included in the table above, the Group holds other types of collateral and credit 
enhancements, such as second charges, floating charges and guarantees for which specific values are not  
generally available.

Mortgage lending

The Group holds mainly residential properties as collateral for the mortgage loans it grants to customers. In some cases it 
does hold cash as collateral. It monitors its exposure to retail mortgage lending using a Loan To Discounted Value (LTDV) 
ratio. At origination, the Group lends based on a discounted collateral value which is calculated at 80% of the market value 
at that time. This becomes the Value definition for the LTDV. The Group then lends up to 100% of this Value. The following 
table reflects the exposure by ranges based on this methodology. The Group believes that this methodology provides 
further risk reduction in case of changes in market value. For credit-impaired loans the value of collateral is based on the 
most recent valuations.

For secured loans, the Group requires formal valuation of collateral to be performed prior to approval of the loan facility. 
The valuation is conducted by the external firm of valuers independent of the Group who are required to meet certain 
minimum standards as per the Group’s policy. Collateral value determined by the valuer is further discounted by 20-30% 
before determining the facility limit. The discounted value of the collateral must exceed the facility limit by at least 12.5% to 
allow for sufficient buffer should there be any adverse movement in value due change in macroeconomic indicators. 

The collateral value is updated when the facility is classified as stage 3 or at least every 2 years. The Group monitors the 
collateral value on an ongoing basis and in event of any indicator which may result in significant decline will require the 
fresh valuation to be performed. As at 31 December 2018, the portfolio of secured personal lending is entirely secured by 
eligible collateral.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018 
 
For unsecured loans, the Group takes a higher level of return to reflect the credit risk. However credit risk standards are 
maintained to ensure a reasonable standard of debt servicing is proven.

Corporate lending

The most relevant indicator of corporate customers’ creditworthiness is an analysis of their financial performance and their 
liquidity, leverage, management effectiveness and growth ratios. In addition, the Group also requires collaterals and 
guarantees to secure the corporate loans. Similar to personal lending, collaterals are required to be valued by 
independent firm of valuers before the facility is approved. Approved facility limit is equal to or less than the assessed 
value of the collateral discounted by 10-50% to allow for sufficient buffer should there be any adverse movement in the 
value due to change in macroeconomic indicators. Collateral values are updated at least every 2 years if there are any 
changes to the loan facilities or if the facility is classified as stage 3 loan. The Group monitors the collateral value on an 
ongoing basis and in event of any indicator which may result in significant decline will require the fresh valuation to be 
performed. As at 31 December 2018, the portfolio of the corporate lending is fully collateralized by eligible collateral.

Investment securities

The Group holds investment in government inscribed stocks measured at amortised cost with a carrying amount of 
K34,195,126 (2017: K79,877,699) which are collateralized by sovereign guarantee. 

Lease receivables

The Group has lease receivables at a carrying amount of K12,720,823 (2017: K9,484,951) which are secured by the property 
and equipment leased to the lessee.

Bank guarantee and documentary letters of credit

Bank guarantees and documentary letters of credit are fully collateralized by charge over the cash deposits. 

Credit risk disclosures in the financial statements of the parent
The credit risk disclosures included above relate only to the consolidated financial statements of the Group. 
Corresponding disclosures for the parent company have not been presented in these financial statements as the parent 
company does not have any material financial instruments other than intercompany lending amounting to K 351m  
(31 December 2017: K 351m). Details of the intercompany lending are disclosed in note 28 to the financial statements.

Liquidity risk 

c) 
Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s liquidity and funding 
risks are governed by a policy framework which is approved by the Board of Directors. Liquidity and funding positions and 
associated risks are overseen by the ALCO. The following outlines the Group’s approach to liquidity and funding risk 
management focusing on conditions brought on by the current global economic environment:

•  ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements,

•  daily liquidity reporting and scenario analysis to quantify the Group’s positions,

• 

• 

targeting commercial and corporate customers’ liability compositions,

intense monitoring of detail daily reports to alert management and directors of abnormalities, and

•  arranging back up facilities to protect against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day operations.

The Group is monitoring its liquidity contingency plans, lending requirements and guidelines which include:

• 

the monitoring of issue severity/stress levels with high level diligence,

•  early warning signals indicative of an approaching issue and a mechanism to monitor and report these against signals,

•  action plans and courses of action to account for early warning signals as noted above,

•  management reporting at a higher level,

•  maintenance of contractual obligations in regards to deposits, and

•  assigned responsibilities for internal and external written communications.

The liquidity gap in ‘up to 1 month bucket’ is due to assumption that current and saving deposits amounting to K662m  
(31 December 2017: 442m) included within ‘due to customers’ mature within one month since these are on demand and  
do not have any fixed or determinable maturity. 

4.  Capital adequacy
Kina Securities Limited (“KSL”) as the parent of Kina Bank Limited (“KBL”) is required to comply with prudential standard 
PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy` issued by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (“BPNG”). BPNG is the Government authority 
responsible for the prudential supervision of Banks and financial institution in Papua New Guinea. The prudential 
guidelines issued by BPNG follow the prudential guidelines set by the Bank of International Settlements under the  
terms of the Basel Accord (Basel 1).

KSL calculates and reports its capital adequacy in respect of the bank (KBL).

Prudential Standard PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy ‘is intended to ensure KBL maintains a level of capital which:

1. 

Is adequate to protect the interest of depositors and creditors,

2.  Is commensurate with risk profile and activities of KBL, and

3.  Provide public confidence in KBL as a financial institution and the overall banking system.

PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy` prescribes ranges of capital ratios to measure whether KBL is under, adequately, or well 
capitalised and also prescribes a leverage ratio. The minimum capital adequacy ratios prescribed under PS1/2003  
`Capital Adequacy` are:

1.  Tier 1 risk based ratio of 8%,

2.  Total risk-based capital of 12%, and

3.  Leverage capital of 6%.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018 91

 
 
4.  Capital adequacy (continued)

As at 31 December 2018, KBL’s capital ratios were in compliance with the BPNG Minimum capital adequacy requirements 
as follows:

Risk weighted assets

Capital: tier 1

Capital: tier 2

Capital: tier 1 and tier 2

Capital adequacy ratios
Tier 1 capital

Total capital ratio

Leverage capital ratio

*Prior year leverage capital ratio has been restated to align with BPNG calculation guidance

The measure of capital used for the purpose of prudential supervision is referred to as base capital. Total base  
capital varies from the capital shown the on statements of financial position and is made up of tier 1 (core) and tier 2 
(supplementary) capital, after deducting the value of investments in other banks and financial institutions. Tier 1  
capital is obtained by deducting intangible assets including deferred tax assets from equity capital and audited  
retained earnings (or accumulated losses). Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the amount of tier 1 capital, and can include  
subordinated loan capital, specified assets revaluation reserves, un-audited profits (or losses) and a small percentage  
of general loan provisions.

The Leverage Capital is calculated as Tier 1 Capital (less inter-group loans) divided by Total Assets. Risk-weighted assets 
are derived from on-statements of financial positions assets. On-statements of financial position assets are weighted for 
credit risk by applying weightings (0, 20, 50 and 100 percent) according to risk classification criteria set by the BPNG, for 
example cash and money market instruments have a zero risk weighting which means that no capital is required to support 
the holding of these assets.

c) 
Kina operates both a Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long Term Incentive (LTI) plan. The purpose of these Plans is to assist 
in the reward, retention and motivation of key management personnel and align the interests of management and 
shareholders. The plans are commensurate with those adopted by major banks in Australia and the Pacific and is managed 
by an independent Plan manager. The operation of both the STI and LTI plans are explained below:

Short term incentive plan (STI Plan)

The STI plan provides participants with an opportunity to earn an incentive calculated as a percentage of their salary each 
year, conditional upon them achieving specified performance targets. Under the plan 65% of any award granted is paid as 
a cash bonus, with the remaining 35% awarded as a grant of performance rights to shares. The granted performance rights 
are restricted from exercise and subject to the Company’s clawback policy and subject to the rules of the Plan.

The following STI plan arrangements were in place during the year ended 31 December 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 2018c)  Share-based payment reserve (continued) 

Long term incentive plan (LTI Plan)

The LTI plan provides participants with an opportunity to receive an equity interest in Kina through the granting of 
performance rights. LTI plan participants may be offered performance rights that may be subject to vesting conditions  
as set out by the Board. The selection of participants is at the discretion of the Board.

A performance right is a contractual right to receive one ordinary share in Kina, subject to performance and vesting 
conditions being met. Each vested performance right represents a right to one ordinary share. If the participant leaves 
Kina any unvested Performance Rights will be forfeited (unless the Board determines otherwise).

The following LTI plan arrangements were in place during the year ended 31 December 2018

The estimated fair value of share rights issued on 16 February 2018 under the LTI plan was AUD 0.43, compared to the 
grant date market value per share of AUD 0.76980. Fair value is generally estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model 
taking into account the share price at grant date, the vesting period, share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and market 
performance conditions.

Retention incentive

The retention plan is a once off award of performance rights to assist in the retention of key eligible participants.  
During the year, retention rights were granted to the CEO totalling 402,685 performance rights.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2018

Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 31 December 201830.  Goodwill
Kina Group, through Kina Ventures Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Kina Securities, acquired all of the shares in 
Maybank (PNG) Limited and Maybank Property (PNG) Limited in September 2015. The goodwill arising on this acquisition 
was recorded at K92,786,000. The goodwill was attributable to Maybank (PNG) Limited’s strong position and synergies 
expected to arise after the Group’s acquisition of the new subsidiary. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible 
for tax purposes. 

Goodwill was tested for impairment as at 31 December 2018 and no impairment loss arose on this assessment.  
The goodwill is allocated and tested at the Kina Bank level. The recoverable amount has been determined using both the 
fair value and value in use at each reporting date. Value in use refers to expected future cash flows over the next five years 
on a discounted cash flow basis. The fair value is determined based on the multiples of future maintainable earnings.

The calculations of value in use includes cash flow projections covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year 
period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate of 3% (31 December 2017: 3%). The estimated cash flows are 
discounted using a discount rate of 12.6% (31 December 2017: 12.5%. The fair value calculation includes future 
maintainable earnings of K72.4m and earnings multiple of 8 times.

32.  Contingent liabilities
Litigations and claims

Contingent liabilities exist in respect of actual and potential claims and proceedings that have not been determined.  
An assessment of the Group’s likely loss has been made on a case by case basis for the purposes of the financial 
statements and specific provisions are made where appropriate. As at 31 December 2018, the Group is a party to some 
litigation before the courts, however, management does not believe these will result in any material loss to the Group. 
There was no litigation matter of a material nature that is not already provided for in the financial statements.

Other liabilities

The Bank guarantees the performance of customers by issuing stand-by letters of credit and guarantees to third parties. 
The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these 
transactions are subject to the same credit origination, portfolio maintenance and collateral requirements applied to 
customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amount does not 
necessarily reflect future cash requirements. The credit risk of these facilities may be less than the notional amount but  
as it cannot be accurately determined, the credit risk has been taken as the contract notional amount.

34.  Fair value estimation
The Group measures fair values in accordance with IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to 
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 
The Group also uses a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to 
measure fair value, which gives highest priority to quoted prices.

•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 

access at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable in an active 
market.

•  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly or indirectly. A Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the instrument. Level 2 
inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets 
or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

•  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 3 if their valuation incorporates 

significant inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Where possible, fair value is determined by reference to a quoted market price for the instrument valued. The group does 
not hold any material financial instruments for which quoted prices are not available other than investment in unlisted 
shares which are classified in Level 3 category.
