It was a transformative year for Kina 
and perhaps will be recognised as 
the biggest year in our history. We 
completed a series of milestones that 
fundamentally changed the shape and 
scale of our business and set us up  for 
long term sustainable growth.

 I am also pleased to announce a strong  
financial performance that exceeded 
market expectation. It has resulted 
in a final dividend of AUD6.4 cents 
per share or PGK 15.5 toea and a full 
year dividend of AUD10.4 cents or 
PGK 25.5 toea per share. Our success 
was delivered in a complex business 
environment that continued to  recover 
from  external shocks where foreign  
exchange was in tight supply and 
economic activity low.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedStrategy: Building the bank of the future
On September 23, we completed the acquisition of 
ANZ PNG’s Retail, SME and Commercial business on 
time and materially under budget. The acquisition 
makes us the second largest retail bank in the country 
with a national footprint across 21 locations and over 
165,000 customers. This complex program took eighteen 
months with a capex spend in excess of K55.0m. It was 
the largest M&A transaction for banking in PNG for 
some years. The acquisition has enhanced our liquidity 
to support future lending growth and will increase our 
earnings and profitability, therefore improving returns for 
shareholders. 

We also announced our strategic partnership with 
MiBank in August for the provision of financial inclusion, 
with specific focus on building out the micro and small 
and medium enterprise (SME) sector. The partnership 
includes a mutual referral agreement for SME customers, 
providing a smooth pathway between our businesses 
depending on a customer’s lending requirements.

In November, we welcomed AAA rated Asian 
Development Bank as our second largest shareholder. 
The USD10m investment strengthens our international 
correspondent banking relationships and improves Kina’s 
access to the PNG export sector. ADB have an extensive 
aid program in PNG exceeding K1.0 billion including the 
re-sealing of the Highlands Highway at a cost of USD 
300m. The investment is strategically aligned to enhance 
and leverage regional and technical expertise; support 
our growth in the SME and retail sectors; and support the 
continued build of our digital capabilities. 

Business growth
Kina reported a Net Profit After Tax of PGK60.9 million, 
up 27% on the previous corresponding period and 
exceeding market expectations. The results were 
driven by a 31% increase in Net Interest Income to 
PGK114.6m; solid growth in the existing loan book of 
26% and the addition of the acquired ANZ PNG loan 

book in the second half of the year. Overall loan growth 
was 65%. With another year of uninterrupted foreign 
exchange trading, FX income was up 23% to PGK 42m 
and saw an increase in overall market share.  Kina Funds 
Management grew by PGK 480 million to PGK8 billion by 
31 December 2019 and achieved a revenue of PGK11.2 
million. Kina Funds Administration also recorded growth 
in profit by 7% to PGK 12.5b.

Leadership and culture
Under the leadership of Greg Pawson, our Chief 
Executive Officer and Managing Director, we appointed 
three new members of the executive leadership team 
and strengthened our business model. This ensured we 
were prepared for the acquisition and that our existing 
business continued to grow. The new team has significant 
experience in digital innovation and transformational 
change that will help set us up for long term success. 
Together, they are working on a major culture change 
program to help staff navigate the complex process of 
integrating two different businesses. They have made 
significant progress on this and are working to embed 
our values and purpose throughout the business. Our 
people have a real sense of pride in our organisation and 
our vision, which has been and will continue to be crucial 
to our success.  

On behalf of the board I would like to thank our staff 
for their commitment and energy. Completing the 
acquisition of ANZ PNG on time was a substantial 
achievement that required dedication. They also 
maintained focus on growing the existing business so 
that we delivered solid results.

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

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedManaging 
Director’s Report

In what was a major year 
where we finalised a number of 
strategic milestones, we also 
delivered results above market 
expectation and maintained 
growth across all of our existing 
businesses.

Progress on our strategy
Through the acquisition of ANZ PNG, 
we took the business nationwide to 
become the second largest retail 
bank in PNG. The acquisition was the 
culmination of 18 months of investment 
– where we built our capability, our 
banking infrastructure, and enhanced 
our products and services. We rolled 
out an eftpos network with the fastest, 
most sophisticated terminal of choice 
to more than 1500 merchants; launched 
a Visa Credit and Debit card platform; 
performed significant enhancements to 
our digital retail and corporate banking 
platforms; and introduced USSD mobile 
banking. 

We also delivered several 
transformational e-commerce programs 
that will improve cost efficiency, 
including an automated debt collection 
system, a reconciliation tool, and a new 
collections system.

We experienced no customer 
loss during the acquisition, with 
all in-scope ANZ PNG customers 
transferring to Kina Bank. A significant 
amount of preparation was put in 
place to ensure the transfer was as 
seamless as possible, accompanied 
by a comprehensive information and 
public relations campaign. Customer 
numbers now total over 165,000 with 
organic customer growth for the year 
at 17%. Through our partnership with 
MiBank and Kina Investment and 
Superannuation Services, our reach 
extends to over 1.2 million Papua New 
Guineans.

The acquisition was also good news for 
the PNG job market. We brought back 
to PNG more than 80 jobs that were 
performed off shore in the cards and 
operations teams. I’m also pleased to 
report that we achieved a 96% transfer 
rate with nearly 300 impacted ANZ 
PNG staff accepting contracts at Kina 
Bank.

Delivering financial performance
We completed the acquisition in 
September 2019 materially under 
budget and on time. Our results reflect 
three months of income from the ANZ 
PNG Retail, Commercial and SME 
business. Total Loans grew by 65% to 
PGK1.40b and Total Deposits grew by 
87% to PGK2.46b. 

We continued a strong focus on home 
lending which increased by 44%. In 
March we launched PNG’s lowest ever 
standard variable home loan. As a 
market leader it stimulated customer 
growth and prompted other banks 
to follow suit, lowering their interest 
rates, benefitting all customers across 
PNG. Later in the year, we launched 
PNG’s first ever fixed rate home 
loan. To support our market leading 
products, we redeveloped our home 
loans approval process. By making 
it digital, we are able to offer faster 
credit decisions and a simpler, more 
convenient customer experience, as 
well as reduce risk and cost. 

As a leading, full-scale commercial bank 
our focus is to bring real disruptive 
competition to the market and this is 
proving to be successful. 

Strengthening our culture
Our staff have always had a strong 
sense of pride in our brand and when 
we integrated the new ANZ PNG 
business into Kina Bank it was essential 
we maintained this energy and 
commitment. We undertook a major 
culture change program to embed 

our values and behaviours. Through 
an extensive series of workshops, we 
brought together all staff from two 
different cultures with the unique 
opportunity to build a really strong 
network and promote our new culture. 

Alongside this, we delivered a 
considerable training program focusing 
on products, services and customer 
experience. Our commitment to help 
our people stay on top of their game 
- by building knowledge, skill and 
experience - is fundamental to our 
Total Societal Impact Strategy, a pillar 
of which is to help build the workforce 
of the future.

Our culture journey is ongoing and 
will see further expansion throughout 
2020 and onwards. We see it as a vital 
component to delivering our 2025 
Strategic Plan which we finalised in 
December: ‘Building the bank of the 
future’ sets a five year pathway to 
becoming PNG’s leading digital bank. 

Looking ahead
Our focus for 2020 is to continue to 
build out our base. By combining 
the best service and technology 
we aim to deliver an exceptional 
banking experience for our customers. 
Simplicity, convenience, and ease 
of access are the key themes we are 
building into our service proposition. 

In 2019 we delivered a series of firsts as 
market leaders, which includes being 
the first bank to connect to the central 
bank’s national payments system, giving 
us the ability to accept full interchange 
with all PNG domestic banks. We 
will continue to be always first, to be 
competitive and disrupt the market with 
innovative new products and services.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedExternal Market Conditions

We expect 2020 to be another subdued year for the 
PNG economy with key indicators pointing towards 
generally lower levels of activity in the absence of a 
major economic boost. The PNG government is also 
targeting reductions to public service expenditure, 
which will further act as a drag on economic growth. 
However, given the increase in the fiscal deficit after 
an extensive review of revenue and expenditure, such 
reductions over a multi-year time frame are warranted.

The negotiating deadline for the development of 
P’Nyang, the new onshore gas field, was set for 31 
January 2020 by the government. This was to be the 
third-largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) project for the 
country, taking advantage of PNG’s rich abundance of 
gas reserves and low cost structures. Unfortunately, the 
project developers and the government were unable 
to reach an agreement on the commercial terms and 
negotiations ended unsuccessfully. 

This is an important reason for our economic view of 
the immediate future. This large scale LNG project 
would have seen multi USD billion investment into 
PNG over a number of years and was a key driver of 
confidence – which has fallen since the negotiations 
concluded unsuccessfully. 

There is an element of uncertainty as to whether the 
Papua LNG project (which is the second leg of the 
overall LNG project) will now go ahead. The best case 
alternative would be a redesign of what were to be 
shared facilities to support P’Nyang and Papua LNG, 
to allow only the Papua LNG project to proceed. This 
will delay the development of Papua LNG, however the 
parties are reengaging to see if an acceptable solution 
can be found.  A reassuring fact is that in the 2020 
National Budget, the government had not allowed for 
revenues from these gas projects in its revenue track 
so there will not be additional fiscal downside from 
the project not proceeding. Notwithstanding this, the 
difficulties experienced by the economy and business 
in general will not be helped by this development.

We expect that the short to medium term outlook 
will be a period of ongoing reform and adjustment as 
the government puts in place initiatives to reduce the 
fiscal deficit over time, while simultaneously building 
on foundational work in areas such as infrastructure 
spending and value added processing to build the 
manufacturing base of the country. Priority outcomes 
for government spending in 2020 include rightsizing 
the public service and laying the groundwork for future 
infrastructure investments in economic corridors. 

The government aims to increase its spending in 
the non-resource sector in an effort to encourage 
the diversification of the economic base. Also, the 
Government has committed to settling PGK 2.5bn 
worth of arrears to the private sector over the next 
three years starting with PGK 1.1bn in 2020. This 
is positive as the arrears have acted as a drag on 
economic performance. The settlement of arrears will 
provide liquidity for the private sector in an otherwise 
subdued economy. Spending in the construction 
sector is also expected to provide some boost to the 
economy in 2020. However, overall risks are tilted to 
the downside. Policy development and spending in 
the SME and agriculture sectors are positive for the 
future development of these sectors and the wider 
economy, but economic benefits will not be felt in the 
near term.

Foreign exchange shortages will continue to be an 
impediment to businesses in PNG throughout 2020. 
Proceeds of the USD 300m budget support funding 
from the Australian Government eased some pressure 
with further foreign exchange support to come from  
proceeds from the PNG Government’s planned 
offshore borrowings. Domestic interest rates remain 
high and are expected to continue in the face of the 
government fiscal funding needs. Headline inflation 
remains high albeit lower then recent years, while 
employment intentions and discretionary consumption 
remain weak. 

Since the end of our financial year COVID-19 has 
catalysed a significant fall in equity markets and some 
commodity markets globally (with oil being the prime 
impacted commodity).  Central banks have acted 
through a combination of interest rate cuts and the 
boosting of quantitative easing programs. A significant 
global economic slowdown now appears inevitable 
with the likelihood of recession increasing.  PNG will 
to some extent be impacted through its linkages 
to the global economy which are primarily through 
the resources industry.  However a large part of the 
economy is internally focussed and as a developing 
country whose population and large segments of 
business service local consumption there is a level of 
activity that will not be impacted to the degree that 
may happen in a fully open economy.  We expect the 
main area of impact will come via supply constraints 
if global manufacturing capacity, specifically China, 
remain “offline” for any extended period of time.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedStrategic Report

In 2019 we delivered three strategic milestones 
and they lay the foundations to build a strong, 
competitive business that will deliver lasting 
benefit to our customers, the banking sector and 
Papua New Guinea. We completed the acquisition 
of ANZ PNG on time and materially under budget; 
took a 15% stake in MiBank for the provision of 
financial inclusion and service to the micro-SME 
sector; and welcomed the Asian Development 
Bank as our second largest shareholder with an 
investment of USD 10.0m. 

Putting our strategy into action
The acquisition is a rare example of a smaller 
business acquiring the larger one. It was one of the 
most high profile banking transactions in PNG for a 
decade, and one of the largest and most complex 
since independence in 1975.

On completion, Kina Bank became the second 
largest domestic retail bank in the country 
servicing over 165,000 retail customers through a 
national network of 17 branches, 77 ATMs and an 
eftpos fleet of over 1,800 terminals through more 
than 800 merchants. 

As a strategic milestone, it improved Kina Bank’s 
market position in retail, commercial and SME 
banking, allowing us to emerge as a leading 
participant in these sectors. Approximately 80% of 
business is conducted outside of the main cities 
of Port Moresby and Lae – our existing branch 
footprint. With our new expanded distribution 
network we are now able to operate in areas we 
were previously unable to reach and therefore 
meet the growing needs of communities across 
PNG. 

The acquisition also provided instant scale to justify 
our investment in new banking capabilities, and 
product and development costs. We completed a 
major systems build throughout the year. This saw 
the upgrade of our core banking system and the 
development of a suite of products and services. 
We launched a best-in-class eftpos network; a 
contactless credit card platform; and a mobile 
banking USSD platform, providing additional 
revenue streams. We were also the first bank 
to connect to the Bank of Papua New Guinea’s 
central switch. This gave us the ability to accept 
full interchange with all PNG domestic banks and it 
showed us to be industry leaders. 

As we continue to improve the value of our 
product offering, our philosophy is that banking 
should be simple, convenient and easy to 
access for our new and existing customers. This 
philosophy underpinned our approach to the 
integration of ANZ customers into Kina Bank. An 
immense effort took place to ensure there was 
a successful and seamless transfer of accounts: 
account numbers remained the same, ANZ debit 
and credit cards continue to work on Kina Bank 

systems; and only minor updates were required to 
PINs and Internet login details. We also digitalised 
a number of systems and processes introducing for 
example an automated reconciliation tool and an 
automated debt collections system. 

In August, we completed the second strategic 
milestone when we entered into a partnership with 
Nationwide Microfinance Limited (MiBank) through 
a 15% stake worth PGK2.5 million. The partnership 
delivers on our goal to support financial inclusion 
and finance to the micro-SME sector. It also 
enables us to make an effective contribution to 
the central bank’s goal to reach 2 million 
unbanked people by 2020 and it fulfils our 
mandate to provide financial inclusion services.

We completed our third strategic milestone 
in December when we welcomed the Asian 
Development Bank (ADB) as a major shareholder. 
ADB’s strong regional presence and AAA rated 
investment grade enhances our international 
correspondent banking, trade services and 
corporate FX relationships. 

There are several opportunities to partner with 
MiBank and ADB and this will be a focus for 2020. 
We will be looking to implement an Environmental 
and Social Governance Framework, continue 
to build data and ICT capability and develop 
remittances and payment gateways. 

Building our culture to deliver our strategy
Fundamental to the delivery of our strategy is our 
focus on building a strong culture. In September 
we welcomed more than 300 new colleagues from 
ANZ PNG across the country, changing the shape 
of our business dramatically. It offered the unique 
opportunity to build a new combined culture with 
behaviours that will drive a differentiated approach 
to banking - exceeding customer expectations and 
delivering great outcomes. 

Prior to the acquisition, we conducted a major 
series of surveys and workshops with ANZ and Kina 
Bank staff to create deep, strong conversations 
and a robust network of change agents. The aim 
was to embed our values and purpose and join 
together the two businesses coherently. To support 
this we refreshed our quarterly awards, aligning 
them with our vision, values and behaviours. The 
awards recognise the achievements of teams and 
individuals who are role models for the business. 

We also appointed a Chief Transformation Officer 
who has significant experience in culture change 
to drive this program forward. The CTO reports 
regularly on the progress of the program to a 
board committed to providing strong governance 
and oversight. We will continue to foster our 
people’s strong sense of pride to create a truly 
unique culture.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedBanking

The acquisition of ANZ PNG’s retail, SME and 
Commercial business significantly accelerated our five 
year strategic plan. It involved a full-scale 15 month 
program building out our retail, commercial and 
transactional banking capabilities. This included: 

• gaining Visa, MasterCard and China Union  
   Pay acquiring capability
• becoming a Visa card issuer
• launching an eftpos platform with state of the 
   art dual SIM card POS terminals for business 
   customers
• launching a USSD mobile banking platform  
   branded as Konnect
• enhancing our retail and corporate internet 
   banking platform
• expanding and enhancing ‘back office’ 
   systems to cater for the expanded business.

Considerable investment was made to ensure our 
banking platforms were robust enough to support a 
larger bank, with major IT infrastructure upgrades and 
two new data centres being put in place.

During this complex project we also maintained our 
focus on the growth of our existing business. Foreign 
exchange income increased K42m, up 23% compared 
to the full year 2018, increasing our overall market 
share. Our total loan book grew 26% and our existing 
deposit book grew 9%.

Growth of our home loan book was a priority for 
our banking teams. Early in the year, we introduced 
PNG’s lowest ever standard variable home loan with 
a major marketing campaign. As a leading product, 
it generated significant growth and prompted other 
banks to drop their rates to remain competitive. In Q4 
we launched PNG’s first ever fixed rate home loan that 
has seen significant demand.  

We also re-engineered our home loan application 
and approval process. With a new digital capability 
we can provide quicker credit decisions and offer 
customers a faster, better experience. Our organic 
home loan book grew by 44% during 2019, and our 
residential investment property loan portfolio doubled 
in size. As the second largest retail bank we want to be 
competitive and drive market disruption.

Our customer base grew from 20,000 to more than 
165,000, with no customer loss during the integration 
of the acquired ANZ business with ours. Organic 
customer growth was up 17%. 

We also signed a five-year Network Extension 
Partnership with ANZ. The partnership enables us 
to service ANZ’s retained institutional customers at 
dedicated counters in some of our regional branches, 
where ANZ is no longer represented. Through a tailor 
made portal, we are able to offer cash and cheque 
deposits, cash withdrawals and bank cheques. This 
new revenue stream has already delivered good 
results.

Our business banking is known as Business Partners 
which reflects our strategy to partner with our clients.  
By working closely with our clients and understanding 
their business in greater detail as a business partner 
we aim to offer solutions that incorporate not only 
our loan products but extend to our digital offerings, 
payments platforms and broader ecosystem of 
services that we are building out progressively with 
external parties. The aim is to have more meaningful 
and deeper engagement with our clients by offering 
a broad spectrum of products and services which 
deepen our relationships.

During the year we refined our Business Partner 
structure by creating a clear front office and mid office. 
This was done in conjunction with integrating the ANZ 
PNG acquisition, giving our business a more scalable 
platform as we look to catalyze growth across our 
larger regional network. Our structure will allow us to 
engage greater staff resources as the business grows 
in areas of greatest added value. It will also allow us to 
create efficiencies as we retain the strong centralisation 
of process type activities. This fits with our strategy 
of being strongly relationship based in the business 
segment.

delighted to achieve a 98% performance rating 
for 2019. This is well above industry standard 
results. Our transparent and efficient process 
management is an important driver of this 
success.

Within our share broking business, our market 
share remained above 50%. We established 
new service offerings, including a Separately

Treasury Management service. We also diversified 
our share broking service to transact for clients 
in wholesale fixed interest instruments, as well as 
enabling clients to trade on foreign exchanges, 
such as the ASX. 

These were developed internally by our dedicated 
team who are developing a range of skills and 
knowledge unique in PNG and of strategic 
value. Our funds administration staff were also 
accredited by the Association of Superannuation 
Funds of Australia. 

With the acquisition of ANZ PNG complete, we 
now have a strong distribution platform for the 
retail component of our wealth management 
business to grow. Leveraging this opportunity will 
be a medium term priority.

In 2019 we formalised our Total Societal Impact 
Strategy which outlines the approach we are 
taking to address social and environmental chal-
lenges. The strategy underpins our purpose of 
building a successful and positive future for Papua 
New Guinea by: helping to create the workforce 
of the future; supporting enterprise; and helping 
to build a digital PNG. 

We delivered on our first strategic objective with 
the launch of Project Wok, our key youth develop-
ment initiative, in partnership with a local not-for-
profit charity. Youth unemployment is a pressing 
social and economic issue in PNG and our aim 
was to help under 30s into employment. The 
initiative provided school leavers with face-to-face 
training sessions, individual coaching and support 
covering a range of subjects on job readiness. 
Of those who successfully completed the course 
more than half were female. 

Our second strategic initiative was our partnership 
with MiBank. MiBank is the largest microfinance 
institution in the South Pacific and at the forefront 
of innovation. With digital and inclusive products, 
they empower women and grassroots people to 
access its products and services. Working togeth-
er, we are helping to significantly expand financial 
inclusion services in PNG, assisting unbanked 
Papua New Guineans enter the formal financial 
services sector. We’re helping MiBank expand its 
existing operations by providing their customers 
with access to ATMs and developing an eftpos 
network. We also entered into a mutual referral 
agreement for micro-SMEs who fall outside each 
respective banks’ customer limits. This provides 
businesses a systemised and formalised pathway 
to access capital from a microfinance institution 
and a commercial bank, a first in Papua New 
Guinea.

The partnership goals are to provide better ser-
vice for the SME sector and wholesale funding to 
support future lending and personal banking ser-
vices. It delivers on our commitment to financial 
inclusion and the economic wellbeing of Papua 
New Guineans. 

Throughout the year, we maintained our commu-
nity support with sponsorships of a wide range 
of activities: sporting events and corporate fun 
runs promoting health and wellbeing; fundraising 
events that support health and education initia-
tives; and technology and innovation conferences 
supporting the SME sector and entrepreneurship. 
A significant gold sponsorship for us was the 
StartUp PNG Convention in Port Moresby – a ma-
jor new conference supporting the SME sector. It 
aligns with the Marape-Steven Government’s 2030 
vision for MSMEs. Our specialist teams were on 
hand at the convention to offer business advice 
and banking solutions. 

Our inaugural membership with the Business 
Coalition for Women continues, supporting 
female leaders with specialised training for career 
development. We understand the importance 
of embracing diversity, specifically in the value 
of talent that our employees bring to the work-
place and this is supported by our gender smart 
policies. This commitment to maintaining and 
promoting a corporate culture that promotes an 
equitable and fair workplace is emphasised in our 
Diversity Policy. 

We also established our Women in Digital 
Initiative. A research, innovation and coaching 
program, it is led by female staff in technology 
and design. They are creating an environment 
that will nurture design thinking, through which 
entrepreneurs can ideate and test tailor made 
solutions to PNG-specific problems. This encour-
ages the participation of more people, especially 
women, in the digital economy and is in line with 
our vision to be the leading digital bank in Papua 
New Guinea.

Our Corporate Governance Statement ensures 
that the highest standards of integrity, honesty 
and fairness is maintained with all stakehold-
ers. This continues our strong track record and 
commitment to acting ethically and responsibly in 
everything we do.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedStrategic Direction

In December we finalised our 2025 Strategic Plan: 
Building the bank of the future. The plan sets a 
five year pathway to becoming PNG’s leading 
digital bank. Its theme is strong growth across 
the three targeted customer sectors of retail, 
commercial and SME. It codifies our continued 
focus on digitalisation, partnering to create and 
capture more value, and convening a market 
place of assets, capabilities and services. 

To align with our strategy, we refreshed our vision 
to clearly articulate this long-term and sustainable 
commitment to our customers, communities 
and shareholders. We also refined our company 
purpose: Building the bank of the future today 
to empower the lives of Papua New Guineans 
tomorrow. Our purpose unites our business, 
giving our people the direction and clarity 
required to deliver on our vision. 

The foundation of the strategy is our continued 
investment in digital and technology 
infrastructure. This investment will enable us 
to serve customers better, offer more digital 
products and services, engage with partners and 
continuously innovate. We are also appointing a 
Chief Data Officer whose responsibility will be to 
deliver data analytics and business intelligence 
that drives innovation. 

Future business growth
By leveraging our relationship with the Asian 
Development Bank we have significantly 
improved our access to the corporate sector. The 
ADB’s AAA external credit rating strengthens our 
position and will allow us to build the size and 
scale of our Foreign Exchange business and trade 
finance. We are already seeing new corporate 
customers trading FX with us and we will focus on 
growing our market share. 

We now have the capability to reach new 
customers in all major provincial centres through 
our national branch network. Customer service 
will be a key differentiator for us and we are 
embedding a strong service ethos across the 
business through a series of service principles. 

Our aim is to ensure all of our customers receive 
quality service quickly, and that the experience is 
consistent across all locations. 

We have also appointed a customer advocate, 
reporting to the Head of Customer Experience, 
whose role will be to oversee the prompt 
resolution of complaints, champion the customer 
and hold the business to account.

In branch we are introducing a network of 
business lenders for quick decisions and a fast 
and efficient turnaround; and a concierge service 
to encourage customers to use our expanded 
suite of self-service options at our new digital 
kiosks. 

Digital innovation
Our continued investment in digital innovation 
will fuel future revenue growth and strengthen 
existing revenue. We have a series of projects in 
development to improve our service offering to 
each of our target sectors. 

For merchants, we are investing in new digital 
payments solutions. Our market-leading 
eftpos service has been extremely popular and 
seen significant growth, which we anticipate 
to continue further. We see our continued 
investment in merchant services as a key platform 
for our support of the SME sector.

There is also significant opportunity to 
provide greater value-added services to our 
superannuation customers. We will look to offer 
bespoke products and services and refresh our 
online offering. We provide customers with a 
consolidated real-time view of the superfund 
balances alongside their bank accounts and we’re 
the only bank in PNG to offer this single-view. We 
will enhance this in the coming months.  

Finally, with the addition of our new channels after 
the acquisition, such as USSD mobile banking, 
eftpos, and Visa Credit and Debit cards, we 
expect to see healthy growth in non-interest 
revenue.

2.1   Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RNC) 
assists the Board in the performance of its statutory and 
regulatory duties by:

•	 formulating advice to the Board on the remuneration 
of the CEO, Senior Executive Team and employees 
holding Responsible Person positions (as defined in 
accordance with Banking Prudential Standard BPS310 
Corporate Governance – Fit and Proper Requirements, 
issued by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG);

•	 providing an objective, non-executive review of the 
effectiveness of Kina’s remuneration policies and 
practices;

•	 recommending to the Board for approval by 

shareholders, the amount and structure of directors’ 
fees;

•	 administering aspects of the “Fit and Proper” 

requirements of BPNG BPS310; and

•	 identifying the mix of skills and individuals required 
to allow the Board to contribute to the successful 
oversight and stewardship of the Company.

Refer to Kina’s Corporate Governance Statement 
(available on Kina’s website at http://investors.kinabank.
com.pg/investors/?page=corporate-governance) for 
more information regarding the RNC. 

The RNC regularly reviews the following to align 
remuneration, performance and strategy:

•	 the structure and quantum of the remuneration of the 
CEO, members of the Senior Executive Team, staff 
holding Responsible Person positions and selected 
risk and compliance staff; and

•	 the structure and level of non-executive directors’ 

board fees and committee fees,

3   Executive remuneration
3.1 Remuneration policy and governance framework

The RNC reviews and determines Kina’s remuneration 
policy and structure annually, for approval by the Board, 
to ensure it remains aligned to the Company’s business 
needs, and meets its remuneration principles.  From time 
to time, the RNC also engages external remuneration 
consultants to assist with this review.  In particular, the 
Board aims to ensure that Kina’s remuneration practices 
are: 

•	 Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company 

to attract and retain key talent;

•	 Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business 
objectives and the creation of shareholder value; 

•	 Transparent; and acceptable to shareholders.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedKina Securities Limited
Remuneration report

Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, Relevant Persons (which includes all directors and officers of Kina 
(CEO, CFO and Company Secretary) and all direct reports of the CEO), are prohibited from entering into any hedging 
arrangements that limit the economic risk of holding Kina securities under Kina equity plans.  This helps align the 
interests of directors, the Senior Executives Team and shareholders. 

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 Executive Team should comprise the following components: 

Fixed remuneration

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

STI Award

The short term incentive award (STI Award) provides participants with an opportunity 
to earn an incentive calculated as a percentage of their salary each year, conditional 
upon achievement of individual key performance indicators (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 (STI 
Performance Rights) will be issued under Kina’s Performance Rights Plan (Plan) in one 
tranche and will remain payable even following resignation. 

The Board has the right to vary the STI Award.

A long term incentive award (LTI Award) that provides an opportunity for employees 
to receive an equity interest in Kina through the granting of Performance Rights (LTI 
Performance Rights) under the Plan,

Under the LTI Award, LTI Participants may be offered LTI Performance Rights that are 
subject to vesting conditions set by the Board. 

The Board has the right to vary the LTI Award.

A one-off equity based performance rights plan that was utilised at the time of the 
Company’s listing on ASX and PNGX in July 2015, to assist in the retention and reward of 
key eligible employees at that time.

The Kina Board has discretion as to whether the Retention Plan will continue and apply to 
other KMP..

LTI Award

Retention Plan

3.2   Fixed Remuneration (FR)

The Senior Executive Team may receive their fixed remuneration as cash, or cash with non-monetary benefits such as 
insurance, 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 RNC 
aims to recommend to the Board, a remuneration package that would position the Senior Executive Team at or 
near the median for corresponding roles, with flexibility to take into account capability, experience, and value to the 
organisation and performance of the individual.

Structure of STI Award

FEATURES

Eligibility

DESCRIPTION

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

STI Award components

Cash bonus: 65% of the STI Participant’s STI Award. 

Performance measures

STI Performance Rights: 35% of the STI Participant’s Award.

Individual KPIs specific to each STI 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 Award is payable unless a minimum Group Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) is achieved. 
The Board has the right to vary this requirement.

The Board allocates an annual pool to the STI Award each year. There are levels of targeted 
performance for allocation of the pool for 2019:

Calculation of STI 
Performance Rights

Vesting of STI 
Performance Rights

Minimum (85% of budget)

Threshold (85% - 100% budget):             50%

Target (Budget 100%)                              90%

Stretch (100+ to 110%+)                        100%         

Stretch (120%+)                            up to 120%

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

The Board has the right to vary the STI 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 (VWAP). 

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 after award and allotment.

unvested STI Performance Rights may be forfeited if the Board determines that adverse 
events or outcomes arise that should impact on the grant of STI Performance Rights to a STI 
Participant.

Payments and grants

Payments of the cash component under the STI Award will be made in April of each year 
after the release of full year financial results to the ASX and PNGX (formerly POMSoX).

Calculation of LTI 
Performance Rights

Grants are approved annually. The number of LTI Performance Rights for each year will be 
determined by dividing the LTI Awards by the 10-day volume weighted average price per 
share prior to 31 December in the year of grant (VWAP). 

Vesting and exercise of LTI 
Performance Rights

While the grants are approved annually, they will vest no earlier than the third anniversary 
of the commencement of the performance period and subject to satisfaction of the vesting 
conditions and performance measures. 

The performance periods for the outstanding awards are as follows:

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 Kina’s ASX market share 
price at grant date and using a simulation pricing model applying the assumptions of price 
volatility, risk free interest rates and dividend yields. Kina engages an independent valuation 
expert who performs the 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 LTI 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;

•	 ranks simulated performances and the proportion of relative TSR award vested as 

calculated based on vesting schedule; and

•	 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.

Forfeiture of Retention 
Plan Performance Rights

DESCRIPTION

The Board determines the Participants eligible for participation in the Retention Plan also 
taking into account any recommendation made by the RNC.

The Retention Plan was a once off award of performance rights (Retention Performance 
Rights) at the time of listing on ASX and PNGX in July 2015, to assist in the retention and 
reward of key eligible participants at that time.

Vesting of the Retention Performance Rights is subject to a service condition wherein 
Retention Performance Rights only vest upon successful completion of a service period as 
determined by the Board at the time of grant.

During 2019, there were no awards of any Retention Performance Rights.

During 2018, $300,000 worth of ‘Commencement’ performance rights equalling 402,685 
Retention Performance Rights were granted to the CEO, and approved by shareholders at 
the 2018 Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2018, vesting in equal instalments over 3 years 
as follows;

•	 134,229 vested on 4 December 2018;

•	 134,229 vested on 4 December 2019; and

•	 134,227 will vest on 4 December 2020
Unvested Retention Performance Rights may be forfeited:

•	 If the Board determines that any vesting condition applicable to the Retention 
Performance Right has not been satisfied in accordance with its terms or is not 
capable of being satisfied;

•	 In certain circumstances if the Retention Plan Participant’s employment is terminated; 

or

•	 In other circumstances specified in the Retention Plan (for example, if the Board 

determines that the Retention Plan Participant has committed an act of fraud or gross 
misconduct in relation to the affairs of Kina).

Lapse of Retention 
Performance Rights

Unless otherwise specified in the vesting conditions or otherwise determined by the Board, a 
Retention Performance Right lapses on the earliest of:

Performance Right has not been satisfied in accordance with its terms or is not 
capable of being satisfied;

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited 2    Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter Business combination As disclosed in note 31 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group entered into Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (PNG) Limited (the “acquiree”) to acquire the retail and commercial banking business of the acquiree based in Papua New Guinea.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Group acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquired business including loans and advances, customer deposits, fixed assets, cash at branches and other assets and liabilities for a total purchase consideration of K24.2m. The transaction has been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combination using acquisition method of accounting whereby acquired assets and liabilities including other identifiable intangible assets have been recognised at fair value.  Significant judgement is required by management due to the completeness and valuation of separately identifiable intangible assets recognised upon acquisition and the key assumptions underpinning the fair valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. In conjunction with our valuation and financial reporting specialists our procedures included, but were not limited to: - Obtaining an understanding of the Agreement and reviewing Group’s assessment of the application of IFRS 3 to the transaction; - Assessing management’s methodology in determining the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair value of the consideration transferred, and fair valuation of assets and liabilities acquired; and - Engaging valuation specialists to assist in assessing key valuation assumptions; and  We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in note 31 to the consolidated financial statements. Impairment of loans and advances As at 31 December 2019 the Group has recognised provisions amounting to K20.5m for impairment losses on loans and advances held at amortised cost in accordance with the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model as disclosed in Note 3. Loans and advances subject to provisioning using the ECL model include the residential lending portfolio, personal loan portfolio and loan commitments. Significant judgement was involved in determining the provision for credit impairment (including the timing of recognition and the amount of the provision). Key areas of the judgement include: - The application of the requirements to determine impairment under IFRS 9 Our procedures in conjunction with our credit specialists included, but were not limited to: Control design, observation and operation: We tested the design and operation of manual and automated controls over the impairment provision including:  - The accuracy of data input into the system used for credit grading and the approval of credit facilities; and  - The ongoing monitoring and identification of loans displaying indicators of impairment and whether they are migrating on timely basis to appropriate risk grading buckets including generation of days past due reports.  Assessing model adequacy:  We assessed the appropriateness of management’s internally developed model in determining the impairment loss provision by:  Key Audit Matter

as  disclosed 

In  accordance  with  IAS  36  Impairment  of 
Assets  Cash  Generating  Units  (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 CGUs 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. 

How the scope of our audit responded to the 
Key Audit Matter 
-  Assessing  whether  the  model  adequately 

addresses the requirements of IFRS 9; 

-  Assessing  on  a  sample  basis,  the  individual 
exposures  to  determine  if  they  are  classified 
into  appropriate  credit  risk  grades  and  aging 
buckets 
for  the  purpose  of  determining 
impairment loss provision; 

-  Assessing  reasonableness  of  the  loss  rates 
applicable to risk grade and aging buckets; and 
-  Assessing  adequacy  of  management  overlays 
to 
the  modelled  collective  provision  by 
recalculating  the  coverage  provided  by  the 
collective 
impairment  provision  (including 
overlays)  to  loan  book,  taking  into  account 
recent  history,  performance  and  de-risking  of 
the relevant portfolios 

We  also  assessed  appropriateness  of

Independent auditor’s report

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read 
the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is 
materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements 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.  

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we 
are  required  to  communicate  the  matter  to  the  directors  and  use  our  professional  judgement  to 
determine the appropriate action. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements  that  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards  and  the  Companies  Act  1997  (amended  2014)  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the 
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, 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.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements  

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial 
statements 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 consolidated financial statements. 

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  consolidated  financial 
statements, 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 fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

•  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 controls.  

• 

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 
consolidated  financial  statements  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 

4

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  consolidated  financial
statements,  including  the  disclosures,  and  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements
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  consolidated
financial statements. 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 are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
International  Ethics  Standards  Board  for  Accountants  (IESBA)  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements. We 
have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

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  consolidated  financial  statements  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. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 
In accordance with section 200 of the Companies Act 1997 (amended 2014), in our opinion: 

(i) We obtained all information and explanations that were required; and
(ii) Proper accounting records have been kept by the Group for the year ended 31 December

2019.

We have no interest in the Group or any other relationship, other than that of the auditor of the 
Group. 

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report are Benjamin 
Lee and David Rodgers.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedKina Securities Limited
For the year ended 31 December 2019 
Notes to the Financial Statements

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 2019 were authorized for issue by the 
Board of Directors on 30 March 2020.

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

asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. This 
is in contrast to the focus on ‘risks and rewards’ in IAS 17 and 
IFRIC 4.

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the 
practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which 
transactions are leases and applied IFRS 16 only to contracts 
that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that 
were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were 
not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, 
the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to 
contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019 
(note 1.10 Leases).

The Group primarily leases commercial properties for use 
as office premises and branches as well as acts as a lessee 
in residential properties provided to eligible employees. As 
a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating 
leases. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases 
are on-balance sheet.

The Group decided to apply recognition exemptions 
to short-term leases in respect of lease of residential 
apartments for employees. For these leases, the Group 
recognises the lease payments in the statement of 
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term. 

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 16 Leases. 

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present 
value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the 
Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019. 
Right-of-use assets are measured at either:

IFRS 16 Leases

The Group applied IFRS 16 with a date of initial application 
of 1 January 2019. As a result, the Group has changed its 
accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below.

The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective 
approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial 
application of K 725,323 is recognised in retained earnings 
at 1 January 2019. The details of the changes in accounting 
policies are disclosed below.

Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined, at contract inception, 
whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under 
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 
(“IFRIC”) 4: Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains 
a Lease. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a 
contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of 
a lease. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates 
to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether 
a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the 
customer has the right to control the use of an identified 

•	 their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied 
since the commencement date, discounted using the 
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial 
application; or

•	 an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the 
amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

The Group used the following practical expedients when 
applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating 
leases under IAS 17.

•	 applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use 

assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of 
lease term.

•	 excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-

use asset at the date of initial application.

Impact on financial statements

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised an additional 
K21.232m of right-of-use assets and K21.957m of lease 
liabilities, recognising the difference of K0.725m in retained 
earnings.

52

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedThe Parent recognised an additional K8.590m of right of use assets and K9.004m of lease liabilities recognising the 
difference of K0.414m in retained earnings.

When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 
2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 8%. A change in the IBR rate of 10% to 8% was effected to reflect the average 
lending rate of banks in Papua New Guinea.

1.4 New and revised IFRS standards in issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group has not applied the following revised IFRS standards 
that have been issued but are not yet effective:

IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (amendments)                  

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor 
and its Associate or Joint Venture

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8                     

Definition of material

Conceptual Framework                    

Amendments to References to the 
Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

The directors do not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed above will have material impact on the financial 
statements of the Group in the future period.

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 returns from its involvement with the investee; and

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

53

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited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 even if this results in 
the NCI having a deficit balance.

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.

1.6 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.

1.8 Interest income and interest expense

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. 

54

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited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 (“PNGX”) 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 Leases

Policy applicable before 01 January 2019

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.

Policy applicable from 01 January 2019

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. 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. A right-of-use asset and a corresponding 
lease liability is recognised with respect to all lease 
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term 
leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months 
or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and 
personal computers, small items of office furniture and 
telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the 
lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic 
basis is more representative of the time pattern in which 
economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the 
use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

•	 the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this 
may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be 
physically distinct or represent substantially all of the 
capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has 
a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not 
identified;

•	 the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the 
economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the 
period of use; and

•	 ·the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. 

The Group has this right when it has the decision-making 
rights that are most relevant to changing how and for 
what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the 
decision about how and for what purpose the asset is 
used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct 
the use of the asset if either: 
- the Group has the right to operate the asset; or 
- the Group designed the asset in a way that 
predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains 
a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration 
in the contract to each lease component on the basis of 
their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases 
of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has 
elected not to separate non-lease components and account 
for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease 
component.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease 
liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-
use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the 
initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus 
any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to 
dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the 
underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any 
lease incentives received.

55

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedThe right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the 
straight-line method from the commencement date to the 
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset 
or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of 
right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as 
those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-
use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if 
any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease 
liability. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of 
the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease 
liability comprise the following:

•	 fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, 

less any lease incentive receivable;

•	 variable lease payments that depend on an index or a 
rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 
commencement date;

•	 the amount expected to be payable under a residual 

value guarantee, if any; and

•	 the exercise price, if any, under a purchase option that the 
Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments 
in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably 
certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties 
for early termination of a lease unless the Group is 
reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change 
in future lease payments arising from a change in an index 
or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the 
amount expected to be payable under a residual value 
guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of 
whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination 
option.

When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a 
corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount 
of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced 
to zero.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

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. 

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. 

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease 
term of 12 months or less. The Group recognises the lease 
payments associated with these leases as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term.

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. 

56

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited1.12 Business combinations

1.13 Cash and cash equivalents

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:

•	 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. 

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. 

1.14 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised 
in the Group’s statement of financial position 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 fair value through profit and loss 
(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.

The excess of the following is considered as goodwill:

Financial assets

•	 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. 

All financial assets are recognised and de-recognised 
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;

57

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited•	 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 fair value through other comprehensive 
income (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.

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.

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 de-recognition 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).

58

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited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.

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 

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; 

•	 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).

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 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.  

59

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedFor some loan arrangements, the Group has determined 
based on reasonable and supportable information that 
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 de-recognition 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.

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.

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. 

Derecognition 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 v 
and the remeasurement is presented in other revenue.

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

60

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited1.15  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:

Furniture and fittings

Building improvements

Motor vehicles

Office equipment

11.25% - 15%

10%

30%

15% - 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.

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

Customer deposits relationship / intangible

A customer deposit relationship asset was recognized 
with the acquisition of Maybank (PNG) Limited in 2015. 
Also, the acquisition of Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) 
Bank’s retail, commercial and SME banking businesses in 
PNG on 23 September 2019 gives rise to the recognition of 
core customer deposit intangible (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 three years on the Maybank and ANZ 
acquisition respectively, 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.

1.16 Intangible assets and other non-financial assets

Software

Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as described in note 37. Goodwill 
having an indefinite useful life 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. 

Other non-financial assets

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). 

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.

1.17 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.

1.18 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.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limitedvesting period.

1.20  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 27(b)). 

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. 

1.21 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 30.

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 

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.

1.19  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 

62

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

to executive management and then to the respective 
operational managers.

3. Financial risk management 

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:

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. 

i.  Foreign exchange risk;

ii.  Interest rate risk; and

iii. Equity price risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

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 

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.

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.

The following table risks summarises the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks:

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedSensitivity

Given the profile of assets and liabilities at 31 December 2019 and prevailing interest rates, a 100 basis points increase/
decrease in market rates in relation to lending will result in a maximum possibility of K14,014,354 (2018: K8,516,636) 
decrease/increase in net interest income at a Group level.

(ii) 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 (PNGX) 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 2019 and net assets as of 
balance date would have been affected by K381,777 (2018: K237,128). The Group’s sensitivity to equity prices has changed 
relative to asset balance from the prior year.

IMPACT ON STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Equity prices – increase 5% (2018:5%) 

Equity prices – decrease 5% (2018: 5%)

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.

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited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. 

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;

Internal credit risk ratings

•	 Forbearances (both requested and granted);

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.

•	 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:

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities Limited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.

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 drawdowns 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  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. 

Stage 2  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  Stage 3 exposures are considered in default in accordance with the definition of default above. 

Groupings based on shared risks characteristics.

In determining the ECL, the financial instruments are grouped on the basis of shared risk characteristics, such as instrument 
type, credit risk grade, collateral type, the value of collateral relative to financial asset (loan-to-value (LTV) ratios) etc.:

An analysis of the Group’s credit risk concentrations per class of financial asset is provided in the following tables. Unless 
specifically indicated, for financial assets, the amounts in the table represent gross carrying amounts. For documentary 
letters of credit and bank guarantee, the amounts in the table represent the amounts committed or guaranteed, 
respectively.

Other financial assets comprise of miscellaneous receivables from individuals on which lifetime ECL has been 
recognised. No ECL has been recognised on other classes of financial assets either due to negligible probability of 
default or the assets being fully collateralized by high quality liquid assets.

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.

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 2019, the portfolio of secured personal lending is entirely secured 
by eligible collateral. 

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’ credit worthiness 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.

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 K351m 
(31 December 2018: K351m). Details of the intercompany lending are disclosed in note 29 to the financial statements.

c)  Liquidity risk

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 K1,919m (31 December 2018: 662m) 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:

Is adequate to protect the interest of depositors and creditors, 
Is commensurate with risk profile and activities of KBL, and 

1) 
2) 
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%.

83

Annual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAnnual Report 2019Kina Securities LimitedAs at 31 December 2019 and 2018, KBL’s capital ratios were in compliance with the BPNG Minimum capital adequacy 
requirements as follows:

Capital : tier 2

Capital : tier 1 and tier 2

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. Share-based payment reserve 
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 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 estimated fair value of share rights issued on 1 April 2019 under the LTI plan was AUD 0.54, compared to the grant 
date market value per share of AUD 1.135. 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. No 
retention rights were granted during the year.

33. 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 2019, 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 contingent liabilities

The Bank guarantees the performance of customers by issuing bank 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.

Loan commitments

There was a total of K131,801k relating loan commitment at balance sheet date (31 December 2018: K64,952k).

35. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

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.

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair 
value, grouped by fair value hierarchy level.

On September 2015, the Group, through Kina Ventures Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Kina Securities Limited, 
acquired all of the shares in Maybank (PNG) Limited and Maybank Property (PNG). Maybank (PNG) and Maybank Property 
(PNG) are the PNG subsidiaries of Malaysia’s largest bank. The acquisition strengthened Kina Bank’s investment in PNG as it 
is an excellent fit for its expansion program. 

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 2019 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 3.0% (31 December 2018: 3.0%). The estimated cash flows are 
discounted using a discount rate of 6.5% (31 December 2018: 12.6%). The fair value calculation includes future maintainable 
earnings of K74.8m (31 December 2018: K72.4m) and earnings multiple of 8 times.

38. Events after the statements of financial reporting date

Subsequent to the financial reporting date, the directors declared a final dividend of AUD 6.4 cents / PGK 15.5 toea per 
share (K27.0m). 

The spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) subsequent to year end is currently impacting businesses globally and 
constitutes a “Non-Adjusting Subsequent Event” as defined in IAS 10 ‘Events after the Reporting Period’. The extent of 
impact varies by industry mainly resulting in supply chain disruption, reduced availability of human resource, increased 
cost of alternative working arrangements, reduced tourism, stock market volatility and consequent increase in provisioning 
requirements and reduction in revenue streams from industries impacted. 

The Group is in the process of assessing possible financial impacts of the situation on its business, however, given it is still 
evolving, the exact financial impact cannot be quantified at this stage. Furthermore, the carrying amount of significant 
assets and liabilities recognised in these financial statements are not materially sensitive to market factors or forward-
looking assumptions other than loan recoverability should conditions materially deteriorate. Based on a preliminary 
assessment of impacts and the fact Papua New Guinea is not significantly and directly affected by the situation at this 
stage, the directors and the management of the Group believe that direct financial impact is unlikely to be material at this 
stage. Further, there is no evidence to suggest at this stage that the situation will affect the Group’s ability to continue as 
going concern. 

There has been no other transactions or events of a material and unusual nature between the end of the reporting period 
and the date of the report likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, to affect significantly the operations of the 
Group, the results of those operations, or state of affairs of the Group in future years.
