Chairman’s Message

I am pleased to introduce Kina’s 2020 Annual Report. Our strong financial performance 
during a challenging year reflects the continued successful execution of our growth strategy. 
As a result, we were able to deliver a full year dividend of AUD 10.0 cents / PGK26.9 toea per share. 

Our results demonstrate the strength of the leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer and Managing 
Director Greg Pawson, and the success of the Kina Bank business model that has contributed to our growth agenda.

Like many businesses, the year offered up a number of challenges as the uncertainties of Covid-19 developed. 
Leadership and culture have never been more important and I am delighted that the Bank’s executive team were 
able to respond quickly and effectively. Our teams have done an exceptional job to meet the needs of clients, 
whilst protecting the health and safety of our people, customers and communities. 

Building the bank of the future 
During the year, we continued to deliver on our 
strategic priorities to drive the growth of the business. 
A primary focus was to successfully transition the 
ANZ PNG portfolio into business as usual operations. 
With an emphasis on providing the best banking 
experience for customers, and ongoing investment 
in market-leading digital products and services, 
Kina achieved this transition effectively. 

In June we divested the Esiloans portfolio to Nationwide 
Microbank Limited (MiBank). The divestment supports 
the strategic partnership between our two institutions 
to support greater financial inclusion, increased 
micro-finance and improved services for small 
and medium sized businesses. 

We also simplified the corporate legal structure and 
successfully conducted a Non-Renounceable 1:2 Rights 
Issue, strengthening the capital adequacy of the Bank. 
This will position the company for future growth and 
create the capacity to take advantage of acquisition 
opportunities. Obtaining investor support for this during 
the pandemic and the market volatility that followed, 
shows confidence in our business proposition and it 
is a credit to the Bank’s management. 

Finally, in December we announced the proposed 
acquisition of Westpac PNG and Westpac Fiji. Our view 
is that there is a great story here, promoting a stronger 
publicly listed regional bank. The additional scale, 
customers and footprint will increase Kina’s ability to 
drive innovation, introduce more choice for customers, 
and deliver more value for shareholders. 

Business growth 
Kina delivered planned business growth across all 
of the existing businesses and in particular achieved 
the integration benefits critical to the ANZ PNG 
Acquisition. Net Profit After Tax increased by 25% 
to PGK 76.0m compared with the prior corresponding 
period and in line with market expectations. It was 
achieved through growth in the existing loan book, 
incorporating the ANZ PNG loans and deposit 
portfolio and lower interest expense against 
total deposits compared to the previous year. 

Foreign exchange income increased by 32% and 
was underpinned by an increase in overall market 
share, including new business generated from larger 
export clients. Kina’s Funds Administration business 
continued to record growth in revenue, consistent 
with increased funds under management and growth 
in member numbers. 

Leadership in uncertain times 
As an essential service, banking has never been more 
important for PNG. Throughout the year our teams 
worked to support our staff, customers and communities 
by continuing to operate and show strong financial 
leadership. We prioritised the health of our colleagues, 
ensuring our branches and offices were safe and we 
supported an extensive health and wellbeing program. 

I would like to thank all of my fellow directors 
for their contribution, rigour and governance. 
The appointment of Dr Ila Temu in December 
as Non-Executive Director reflects Kina’s growing 
strength in the large corporate sector. 

On behalf of the board I would like to thank our staff 
for their continued dedication and commitment. 
Their pride in our brand has enabled us to deliver solid 
results in a challenging year. I am also immensely grateful 
to our shareholders for the support we have received 
as we look to become a scale regional business.

Chairman

We also launched a major brand campaign featuring 
three brand ambassadors, Chef Julz Henao, Designer 
Tabu Warupi and Events Entrepreneur Jelena Tamate - 
all SME business owners who are home grown success 
stories. The campaign was unlike anything seen before 
in PNG with exceptionally high production values. 
It showcased our support for SME customers and 
boosted Kina’s brand awareness. 

Strengthening our culture 
We invested significantly in strengthening our culture 
after the acquisition of ANZ PNG when we brought two 
very different teams together. As a values-led business, 
we enhanced our definition of everyday behaviours and 
embedded them across the company through a series 
of workshops, and embedded them in our learning and 
development assessment process. We also completed 
an employee engagement survey that provided 
extremely positive feedback about the underlying pride 
and engagement in the organisation. We continued to 
invest in our Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing 
program, which we benchmark against international 
standards. We also took steps forward in diversity and 
inclusion objectives with the appointment of two female 
PNG nationals to the executive team, and also promoted 
local PNG talent into senior leadership roles.

We made great progress on our Total Societal Impact 
strategy with a series of partnerships and initiatives that 
delivered value for our communities. From funding the 
build of a new learning centre, to supporting digital 
development and literacy, we’re providing new avenues 
for people to access education, government services 
and financial inclusion products and services.

The outbreak of Covid-19 presented challenges 
that we met swiftly and efficiently. To support our 
staff, we introduced a number of initiatives including 
private transport to and from work; flexible working 
arrangements; additional leave options; and the regular 
conventions of advanced hygiene and social distancing. 
Combined, these measures ensured we were able 
to protect the health and safety of everyone, whilst 
continuing business as usual as an essential service 
provider. The requirements remain in place and will 
continue throughout 2021.

Our 2025 Strategy concentrates on five key areas that 
we have made significant progress on throughout 2020:

Core banking 
Our focus is on the experience our customers have 
when they interact with us every day; and growth in our 
lending products. We introduced digital concierges and 
kiosks to our branches to help customers bank with us 
digitally. We also launched a flagship and unique new 
customer offering, Prime, that comes with fee free Visa 
cards, the lowest fixed rate home loan in PNG history, 
and associated advisory services.

Digital channels 
We have invested in world-class merchant POS 
terminals, online and mobile banking, and more 
recently a best-in-market internet payment gateway 
that allows eCommerce and online purchases for 
scheme and non-scheme cards. Our new digital 
channels delivered planned revenue of PGK 18.8m.

Digital partnerships 
We implemented some innovative partnerships in 2020 
with more to come in 2021. We have developed PNG’s 
first foreign exchange app with biometrics recognition 
and electronic verification capability. An important 
extension of this technology is the ability to digitally 
originate customers and allow existing customers 
to acquire new products and services online. We also 
launched the xero bank feed API – a first for the Pacific 
and the first phase of a broader business advisory 
services capability.

Bank as a service 
We provide infrastructure and services that 
are leveraged by other financial institutions. 
For our partner, MiBank, we built cards issuing 
and operations capability and provided POS services, 
ATM interchange and central bank clearance.

Diversified investment bank 
As the largest wealth management business, 
funds administrator and leading stockbroking 
company in PNG, our strategy builds on these 
strengths. We successfully renewed the key 
strategic funds management and administration 
contracts for a further term.

Delivering financial performance 
Our strong results come from a full year of operations 
of the business acquired from ANZ PNG, while maintaining 
strong growth in the organic business across loans and 
the development of new digital channels. We continued 
our focus on home lending with the launch of Prime, 
our flagship customer offering, and as a result of the 
build out of our channel network, fees and commissions 
increased by 60%. Total loans grew by 16% to PGK 1.7bn 
and total deposits grew by 5% to PGK 2.6bn.

Executive Officer

Managing Director’s Report

It was another extremely successful year for Kina where 
we delivered a solid financial performance and finalised 
a number of strategic priorities.

We also announced the proposed acquisition of Westpac’s businesses 
in Fiji and PNG. The acquisition is a strong strategic fit for us. The expansion 
into a new market, additional scale, customers and footprint will enable Kina 
to be better positioned to drive innovation and introduce more choice for customers. 
It will provide additional growth opportunities, pave the way for further investment, 
and provide a bigger Bank and stronger financial services sector for both PNG and Fiji.

Strategic Report

We have made significant progress on a series of initiatives that have delivered growth for the business. 
We have a commitment to being ‘Always First’ and as a truly effective competitor we have actively transformed 
the PNG banking sector with a series of market firsts. By innovating in the design of products, services and digital 
partnerships, we have provided new forms of value for customers and delivered diversified revenues for the group.

Always First
We were the first bank in PNG to launch a locally hosted 
Internet Payment Gateway, with the capability to accept 
multiple payment types including scheme, local cards 
and other forms of digital payments. It also has the 
flexibility to integrate with partnership platforms and 
for direct connections to businesses of all sizes. 
Extremely popular with our business customers, 
it has also been implemented by two major government 
departments, the Lands Department and Immigration 
and Citizenship Authority - via our partnership with local 
fintech company NiuPay. We see this as an important 
step towards transforming the way payments are 
made across the public sector, both for efficiency 
and transparency. 

We were the first bank in the Pacific to implement 
the xero accounting software bank-feed API. Business 
customers have the ability to trigger an automatic 
transaction sweep from corporate and retail internet 
banking into the xero platform, meaning finance 
management is simpler and more efficient. With the 
pilot phase completed in 2020, the solution will be 
available at scale in 2021, delivering an improved 
customer service  and new business.

We were also the first bank in PNG to pilot 100% digital 
onboarding using biometric recognition and electronic 
document verification, via our partnership with Everest. 
This work is complemented by our investment in the 
YuTru platform – a private sector led open scheme 
for the digital identification of people and businesses. 
In 2021, following regulatory approval from the central 
bank, we will launch the Everest app, a 100% digital 
banking product that enables customers to transfer 
money overseas and trade in foreign exchange. This 
project was also a great example of risk and regulation 
being front and centre to disruptive innovation.

We became the first commercial bank in the Pacific 
to implement Visa transaction controls online, giving 
customers greater choice on how their cards are used. 
With online transaction controls, transaction alerts via 
SMS and WhatsApp, 3D Secure and the technology 
delivery for Visa fraud monitoring, we significantly 
enhanced cards performance and risk management. 

In addition to doubling the number of merchant 
POS terminals in market, we implemented a fully 
integrated solution between Pronto terminals and 
Kina POS machines. Kina’s POS terminals are 
unquestionably the best for in-market for performance 
and reliability, supported by a comprehensive merchant 
team model. With continued investment in POS terminal 
growth, we saw an uplift of more than 50% from the 
ANZ fleet we replaced. 

As part of our strategic partnership with MiBank, 
we completed the technology build to provide 
MiBank with POS services, ATM interchange, central 
bank clearance and debit card production. As our first 
‘bank as a service’ business model innovation project, 
it forms a central part of our financial inclusion efforts 
and paves the way for potential banking infrastructure 
deployment in the future.

Banking

Covid-19 made 2020 a unique year for the Bank. 
With the PNG Government classifying banking and 
financial services as essential, we took significant socially 
responsible actions to ensure 100% of our branch 
network remained open; our contact centre continued 
to operate daily and our digital services were available 
24/7. At an operations level, the Bank increased its 
security support to ensure regular cash operations.

To protect the health and safety of our staff and 
customers, we introduced a comprehensive safe 
work-place program in line with international 
standards. We also introduced door-to-door Covid 
safe transport for staff to and from work. 

With these measures in place we were 
able to continue to grow. Loan book growth 
increased by 16% (our business loan book by 20%)  
and total deposits increased to PGK 2.6bn. Our FX 
income grew by 32% to a market share of circa 16%.

The Bank of PNG released its policy response in 
April and lowered the cost of funds, reducing the 
Kina Facility Rate by 2%. We reduced all local currency 
overdraft interest rates by 2% p.a. for new and existing 
customers to support business cash flows. We also 
re-priced our home loans to ensure that new and 
existing owner-occupiers benefited from our historically 
low home loan rate, and we provided tailored support 
to individuals and businesses who experienced stress. 
We lent over PGK 550 million to support the SME and 
commercial sectors.

Despite the current environmental challenges, 
we continued our innovations in banking products 
and services. We took the first step towards fee free 
banking with our new customer relationship offering, 
Prime - a 3-year fee free Visa card with PNG’s lowest 
ever fixed rate home loan, and a dedicated relationship 
manager. Prime status has been extremely popular 
and, supported by a major marketing campaign, 
has reinforced our reputation as the ‘go-to’ bank 
for home lending. 

Another best in market solution, we completed 
the design and build of Kina Everyday. Our first 
transaction account with no monthly fees, it also 
comes with modest transaction fees compared 
with equivalent competitor products. It supports 
our drive to increase competition, give customers 
greater choice and lower the cost of banking. 

With an eye on social distancing and socially responsible 
branch banking, we piloted a concierge service and 
digital kiosks so that customers can bank digitally, but 
in the context of a branch. Designed for customers who 
have no, or limited, access to the internet, the ‘Wantok 
Experience’ has modernised banking in PNG and further 
drives our ambition to be PNG’s leading digital bank. 
We also took a market leading position in lowering fees 
and charges for POS and our digital banking channels. 

Our new digital channels delivered strong growth with 
merchant POS revenue being a stand-out capability. We 
rolled-out an additional 800 terminals across the country 
and saw the expected generation of income in fee 
revenue from cards, internet banking and Unstructured 
Supplementary Service Data (USSD) channels.

Wealth

Our Wealth Management businesses continued to 
deliver stable and growing revenue and excellent service 
outcomes for the year, as we continued our strong 
relationships with the major PNG superannuation funds.

Our focus going forward will be to enhance our 
technology and system capability to make access 
easier for trustees and their members to manage 
their retirement savings. 

A highlight was the renewal of large contracts 
in both our funds administration and wholesale 
funds management businesses. We continue to be 
the largest wealth management business in PNG, 
with over PGK 8 bn of funds under management; 
the largest fund administrator, administering accounts 
on behalf of more than 800,000 clients whose funds 
total K13.82 bn; and the leading stock broking company. 

Funds Management achieved growth in funds under 
management of 7% to PGK 8bn, a reflection of the 
positive returns as well as ongoing contributions. 
Although 2020 was a difficult local investment 
climate, clients achieved positive returns relative 
to competing funds.

Funds Administration also recorded growth in profit 
by 46% on the back of stringent control of expenses, 
increased funds under administration and growth in 
member numbers. We maintain stringent measurement 
and tracking controls in place to ensure we reach our 
service level agreements and were delighted to achieve 
a 99.23% performance rating for 2020. This is well above 
industry standard results.

Within our Retail Wealth business, our market share for 
share broking services remained above 50%. The various 
new wealth management services introduced in 2019 
provided additional revenue in the reporting period. 

Throughout 2021 we’re expanding our product and 
service set to drive overall revenue growth. We’re also 
developing our segment strategy across the business, 
with high-touch relationship management a significant 
feature. This will provide a strong distribution platform 
for the Retail Wealth business.

Nominee custodial services is an area of expected 
growth as we extend our offerings to large investor 
clients. We have been able to consider new types 
of lending where we can act in a custodial and 
non-discretionary security trustee capacity for 
loans secured by financial assets. The segment and 
distribution strategy, combined with the launch of new 
products, will allow us to grow the Retail Wealth business 
funds under management with little additional cost, 
thus driving margins. 

Strategic Direction

The proposed acquisition of Westpac’s Pacific businesses in Fiji and PNG will provide a scale financial 
services organisation with a firm strategic commitment to banking in the region. A bigger business will 
enable us to support a stronger financial services sector and deliver more much-needed choice for customers. 

A multi-brand approach
Our intention is to create a completely new brand for 
the acquired business and to maintain the independent 
commercial banking licences in both jurisdictions. 
The newly branded bank will be independent and 
separate from the existing Kina Bank brand, and it will 
have a specific focus on inclusion, MSME, SME and 
the commercial segments of both markets. This will 
be a great outcome for customers from a service and 
product perspective. Our proposal is to introduce 
fee free banking options, re-structure the business 
indicator lending rate and introduce a new platform 
for superannuation. The additional scale, customers 
and footprint will enable Kina to continue its drive in 
innovation and deliver a new suite of world-class digital 
products and services.

We will ensure that the branch and Instore 
network continues to operate as it does today, 
with a commitment to jobs for all local employees. 
Kina and Westpac have developed a comprehensive 
implementation plan where there will be no complex 
migration of customer data across platforms as the 
core banking infrastructure and associated ICT would 
be acquired. One of the key features is that the 
acquisition is essentially ‘turn-key’ and Kina will assume 
ownership and operation of the Pacific Businesses 
effective from the completion date. There will be 
no disruption to customers or employees in both 
countries, with no changes to systems or processes 
or the way customers transact. Completion is subject 
to regulatory approval in both PNG and Fiji and the 
process to secure approvals is underway.

Strategic Initiatives 
The acquisition is one of eight strategic programs 
for 2021 that continue to drive growth in core 
banking and digital solutions. Kina continues 
to assert its leadership position creating opportunities 
to increase market competitiveness and business 
model resilience. 

We will maintain our focus on lending to implement 
an agile, seamless end-to-end lending process across 
home and business lending. By leveraging customer 
feedback and introducing improved complaints 
resolution we aim to significantly enhance the 
customer experience. We will continue upgrades 
and improvements to our digital channels and 
platforms, including a corporate online technology 
and further innovations for our internet payment 
gateway. We are also focusing on an artificial 
intelligence program to continue improvements 
to AML, compliance and fraud detection. 

Further concentration on our partnership with MiBank 
will include joint business development opportunities, 
customer migration and digital referral processes. 
We are also developing an SME capital fund through 
the Kina Funds Management business; exploring new 
retail products for Wealth Management; and refreshing 
the strategic intent of our funds administration business.

Total Societal Impact

Kina’s sustainability vision is to be recognised 
as one of PNG’s most sustainable organisations.
Closely aligned to the organisation’s 2025 Strategy, 
we have a clear focus on social, environmental 
and economic development across three distinct 
themes, as well as providing community leadership. 
In the first full year of delivering on our Total Societal 
Impact Strategy, we have made significant progress 
on a number of initiatives. 

Creating the workforce of the future 
Unemployment is one of the most pressing social 
and economic issues facing PNG. To help address 
this, we partnered with the Kokoda Track Foundation, 
a not for profit organisation, to fund the build and 
operation of a Flexible Open & Distance Education 
(FODE) centre in Port Moresby. The centre gives 
students a second chance at education and progress 
into employment with relevant skills and qualifications. 
Throughout 2020, over 150 students were enrolled 
across grades 10, 11 and 12.

We also implemented a mentoring scheme where 
Kina Bank staff provided one-on-one coaching to 
students, to help with their studies and to prepare 
for exams. Our team gave over 130 volunteer hours 
across each academic term to students and shared 
their experiences, stories and general life skills to 
help guide students on their path to success.

e-PNG 
A digital society will help to empower Papua New 
Guineans. It can help to break down barriers to services, 
products and platforms; and can increase people’s 
ability to contribute to decision-making and production. 
By supporting digital development and literacy, we’re 
helping to inspire the entrepreneurial development 
of solutions to PNG-specific problems.

A major focus has been our support of the Women 
in Digital network which we assisted with a series of 
sponsorships and events. The emphasis has been on 
providing women with access to and training on new 
digital platforms that offer financial services. We also 
sponsored the first female in PNG to be accredited 
Certified Information Security Manager.

We partnered with a local fintech company, NiuPay, 
to develop a suite of digital access solutions to help 
bring Government services online. This citizen-centred 
approach means more Papua New Guineans than ever 
before now have access to the Lands Department 
and Immigration and Citizenship Authority, the first 
Government departments to come online. We see 
this as an important step toward transforming the way 
services are offered and payments are made across 
the public sector, both for efficiency and transparency.

We have also partnered with YuTru, an open scheme 
for the digital identification of people and businesses, 
to promote financial inclusion and economic and social 
empowerment. The scheme helps people who previously 
haven’t been able to access the formal financial system.

Community Leadership 
We have also supported a number of additional 
programs of work throughout the year. We donated 
AUD$50,000 to the Fiji cyclone relief effort; we supported 
our dedicated frontline health workers at the Covid 
isolation unit in PNG with food and water; and we 
launched a major mental health program to help our 
staff and communities stay mentally healthy during 
these challenging times. 

Promoting enterprise 
Access to financial services for many is restricted, 
and growth of the MSME sector is restrained by 
a lack of investment and education. Our strategic 
partnership with MiBank, our financial inclusion 
partner, created a solid platform for us to reach 
further into the community and deploy our 
capabilities and assets – and create mutual value 
exchange across both organisations.

We successfully completed our first ‘bank as a service’ 
business innovation project to provide MiBank with 
cards issuing, central bank clearance and POS. Together, 
we were able to bring more than 130,000 new customers 
into the formal financial services sector for the first time, 
by helping them open bank accounts and providing 
them with financial education.

We also created a customer referral pathway between 
the two organisations to give customer access to the 
most appropriate products and services depending 
on their needs.

We supported this pillar of our strategy with a series 
of thought leadership programs for the business 
community. Launched at the Prime Minister’s Back 
to Business Breakfast in January 2020, we delivered 
a series of workshops, talks and presentations 
focusing on financial literacy and education, 
business development and outreach.

Looking ahead 
In partnership with the Asian Development Bank we have 
commenced the development of our Environmental Social 
Governance Principles and Framework. To be completed 
in 2021, these will address the nature and extent of 
environmental and social risks to the business. Our Total 
Societal Impact Strategy requires ongoing development 
over time in order to reach our vision, including taking 
future strategic decisions about scope and suitable 
operating models.

Economic Outlook

2020 was a challenging year for PNG as the Covid-19 
pandemic took a significant toll on all sectors of the 
economy. The Prime Minister stated in September that 
PNG’s economy had declined by PGK 10.7 billion in 
nominal terms by the third quarter, which is significant 
when considering that PNG had an estimated gross 
domestic product (GDP) of PGK 81.6 billion.

The Department of Treasury (DoT) and the International 
Monetary Fund (IMF) estimate that real GDP would 
decline in 2020 by 3.8% and 3.3%, respectively. 
The deferment of Papua LNG and P’nyang LNG 
before the Covid-19 outbreak subdued investments 
in resource-adjacent sectors and tilted risks in the 
broader economy towards the downside. The pandemic 
aggravated these risks and caused a number of private 
and commercial investments to be either delayed 
or cancelled outright. Discretionary spending was 
impacted negatively and the closure of Porgera 
Mine in April 2020 amidst the pandemic added 
to concerns resulting in significant impact on GDP, 
expected taxation revenue, and foreign currency inflows.

The pandemic triggered a fiscal response that was 
unprecedented for PNG, as in many other countries.

The Government already faced the largest fiscal deficit 
in the country’s history prior to the pandemic in 2020. 
It had to reprioritise its spending to support efforts 
to contain the spread of the virus. The original deficit 
of PGK 4.6 billion anticipated revenues of PGK 14.1 
billion, with total expenditure of PGK 18.7 billion. 
Due to the impact of the pandemic, revenue saw 
a 19.4% reduction, resulting in the deficit increasing 
to PGK 6.6 billion, despite a reduced total expenditure 
of PGK 18 billion. To allow additional borrowing, 
the Government amended the debt-to-GDP ceiling 
prescribed in the Fiscal Responsibility Act from 45% 
to 60%. This was a necessary amendment in our view 
as a reduction in fiscal stimulus in the immediate 
short-term would disadvantage the economy and slow 
down recovery timeframes. The Government projects 
that debt levels as a percentage of GDP will increase 
from 48.9% in 2020 to 52.5% in 2023. These figures, 
and rate of increase of the debt/GDP ratio, are not 
out of line with many economies as a result of pandemic 
induced fiscal support.

PNG’s monetary response to the pandemic was 
also urgent and unprecedented. The Bank of PNG 
undertook several targeted measures to increase 
money and FX supply and lower interest rates, which 
had the added effect of supporting the Government’s 
fiscal operations during the pandemic. Financial 
institutions also provided support with banks lowering 
interest rates and providing for temporary loan 
repayment deferments to support borrowers.

The main economic drivers in the medium term 
remain the resource projects that are currently 
being negotiated.

Investors and economic stakeholders continue 
to hope for a speedy resolution to key resource 
project negotiations to drive confidence and 
economic growth. These are in addition to the 
planned Government spending over the medium-term 
to improve infrastructure, providing confidence that 
the economy will have some support until the global 
pandemic subsides. The positive impact of these 
resource projects is not expected to be felt by the 
PNG economy in the near-term as the restructuring 
of commercial terms is likely to push development 
timelines out further. The resource projects currently 
in the pipeline for PNG represent an estimated PGK 
110 billion in foreign direct investment and domestic 
production over their respective lives. The Government 
also remains committed to funding major infrastructure 
projects throughout the country in the medium-term. 
The 2021 National Budget projects over PGK 40 billion 
in Capital Expenditure from 2021 to 2025, averaging 
7.9% of GDP per annum within that timeframe. 
The Government has committed 38% of its 2021 
Budget to Capital Expenditure, which is PGK 7.5 billion 
or 8.3% of GDP. This fiscal support, especially after the 
sharp downturn witnessed globally, gives some measure 
of reassurance to economic stakeholders. This combined 
with proposed reforms and the stated intention 
to diversify the non-mining sectors has potential 
to set a solid foundation for future growth.

3. Executive remuneration
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 RNC 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 values, and the creation of 
shareholder value; 

•  Transparent; and

•  Acceptable to shareholders. 

Remuneration Policy

Kina’s Remuneration Policy is that:
•  Remuneration should be set at levels that reflect the 
relative size of the position, including comparable 
positions in the relevant market, the performance 
of the person holding the position and any position-
specific factors such as location or strategic 
importance of the role to Kina; 

•  Remuneration levels must reflect what the Group 
can afford. The Board through the Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee will provide the 
MD&CEO with advice on affordability and this 
must be factored into the Chief Executive’s 
annual review of remuneration across all levels; 

•  Where a package includes a variable performance-

based component the package must be structured to: 

•  Motivate the employee to achieve personal goals 
that demonstrably contribute to the Group’s 
overall strategic direction and medium to long 
term financial performance objectives;

•  Encourage the employee to work within the 
Group’s risk management framework and 
to comply with the Group’s prudential policies; 

•  Specify measurable, objective, verifiable 

performance targets which have to be met or 
exceeded before any additional payment is due; 

•  Specify a measurement period that takes into 

account the time to observe the real outcomes  
of the employee’s business activities and efforts; 

•  Discourage the employee from taking extreme 
risks to achieve short term performance targets 
that could jeopardize the financial stability and 
viability of the Group in the medium to long term; 

•  Provide for the Board to set aside part or all of 
the performance based payments due if in its 
judgment this is necessary to protect the financial 
soundness of the Group including unintended and 
unforeseen consequences when the performance 
based measures were originally formulated; 

•  Where a package includes equity or equity linked 
deferred remuneration the package must be 
structured to forbid the employee leveraging the 
equity in any way until it is fully vested. The Group 
will cancel the vested equity and rights to future 
equity of any employees found to be in breach 
of this provision of their employment agreement. 

•  The Levels of every role in the organisation shall 

be identified through a professional Job Evaluation 
exercise and endorsed by the selected Job 
Evaluation Panel; 

•  On an overall basis, Kina Group would like to position 
itself between the 50th and 75th percentile of the 
defined market, with flexibility to adjust based 
on market dynamics and organisational strategy; 

Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, Relevant 
Persons (which includes all directors and officers of Kina 
(MD&CEO, CFO and Company Secretary) and all direct 
reports of the MD&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 level structure may be reviewed based on the 
organisational growth and maturity  and from time 
to time benchmark its remuneration against identified 
market participants to define its pay structure and 
pay levels. This survey cycle period shall typically 
be not more than once in two years; 

•  Remuneration packages may comprise a mix of base 
pay, performance related pay and other benefits 
where this is consistent with the structure of packages 
for similar sized roles in the market. Such mixed 
remuneration packages must take into account 
the value of all elements of the package;

•  Remuneration packages, including any performance 
based component, must not compromise the 
independence of any risk and financial control 
officers of the Group; 

Remuneration components, approach and mix

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 MD& 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. 
There was no change to the fixed remuneration for the MD&CEO and other executive KMP during the year.

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 lapse upon resignation or termination, 
subject to the absolute discretion of the Board. 

The Board has the right to vary the STI Award.

LTI 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 absolute discretion to vary the LTI Award.

Retention Award

A one-off equity based Retention Rights allocation under the 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 the absolute discretion as to whether the allocation of Retention Rights will 
continue and apply to other KMP.

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

Performance measures

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 MD&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 absolute discretion 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 2020:

•  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 absolute discretion to vary the STI Award.

Calculation of STI 
Performance Rights

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). 

Vesting of STI 
Performance Rights

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

Long term incentive award

The MD&CEO and the Senior Executive Team participate, at the Board’s discretion, in the LTI Award comprising 
annual grants of Performance Rights.  Further details are shown in the table below:

of the following conditions:

•  Meeting the required Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance level based 

on peer group - 50% weighting;

•  Over a three-year period, whereby:

In 2020, the Board worked with an independent advisor to identify the comparator group companies 
including the calculation of the vesting schedule.

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).

Forfeiture of STI 
Performance Rights

STI Performance Rights are subject to Kina’s clawback policy.  Under the clawback policy, 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.

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.

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.

Vesting of the Retention 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.

In other circumstances specified in the Retention Rights Award (for example, if the 
Board determines that the Retention Rights Award Participant has committed an act 
of fraud or gross misconduct in relation to the affairs of Kina or for any other reason 
as determined by the Board in its sole discretion).

Lapse of 
Retention Rights

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

Basis for Opinion   We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Papua New Guinea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  Key Audit Matters   Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.   Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter Impairment of loans and advances As at 31 December 2020 the Group has recognised provisions amounting to K35.3m 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 Our procedures in conjunction with our credit specialists included, but were not limited to: Control design and implementation: We tested the design and implementation of controls over the impairment provision including:   Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Deloitte Haus, Level 9 MacGregor Street Port Moresby PO Box 1275 Port Moresby National Capital District Papua New Guinea  Tel:  +675 308 7000 Fax:  +675 308 7001 www.deloitte.com/pg Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu ABN 74 490 121 060  Level 23, Riverside Centre 123 Eagle Street Brisbane, QLD, 4000 Australia   Phone: +61 7 3308 7000 www.deloitte.com.au      Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter using the ECL model include the corporate, commercial, residential and personal lending 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 Financial Instruments, which is reflected in the Company’s and the Group’s expected credit loss model; • Identification of exposures with a significant movement in credit quality to determine whether 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss should be recognised; • Assumptions used in the expected credit loss model such as the financial condition of the counterparty, repayment capacity and forward-looking macroeconomic factors as disclosed in Note 3; and • Incorporation of forward-looking information to reflect current or future external factors with particular focus on impacts arising due to COVID-19.  - 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:  - Assessing whether the model adequately addresses the requirements of the applicable accounting standard; - 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 the impairment loss provision; - Assessing reasonableness of the loss rates applicable to risk grade and aging buckets; and - Assessing the 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, de-risking of the relevant portfolios and the impact of COVID-19. We also assessed appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Impairment of non-current assets As at 31 December 2020 the Group has recognised goodwill amounting to K92.7m, arising from the acquisitions of Maybank (PNG) Limited and Maybank Property (PNG) Limited as disclosed in Note 37.   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 CGU In conjunction with our valuation specialists our procedures included, but were not limited to: - Evaluating the appropriateness of management’s identification of the Group’s CGUs, including the identification of indicators of impairment; - Assessing the reasonableness of cash flow projections and growth rates against external economic and financial data, the Group’s own historical performance and historical forecasting reasonableness; - Assessing the key assumptions and methodology used by management in the impairment model, in particular the weighted average cost of capital, the cost of debt and the terminal growth rate; - Evaluating the value in use estimate determined by management against the Company’s market capitalisation; and Independent auditor’s report

  Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter - Discount rates; and - Terminal value growth rates. - Testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment model. We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 37 to the consolidated financial statements.  Other Information   The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report,  which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the annual report (but does not include the consolidated financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon), which is expected to be made available to us after that date.   Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.   In connection with our audit of the 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 give 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 give a true and fair view and are 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 are 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 the 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 these consolidated financial statements.       As part of an audit in accordance with the 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 control.   • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.   • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 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 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 represent 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 also provide the directors of the Company 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.   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.         Statements of Comprehensive Income

Notes to the Financial Statements 

For the year ended 31 December 2020

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.

Effective 9 July 2020, Kina Securities Limited 
amalgamated with Kina Bank Limited (KBL), Kina 
Ventures Limited (KVL) and Kina Properties Limited 
(KPL) and is now known as Kina Securities Limited. 

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 2020 were authorized 
for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2021.

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

1.3  Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily 
effective for the current reporting period

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

•  Amendments to References to the Conceptual 

Framework in IFRS Standards.

•  Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business.

•  Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of material.

Amendments to References to the 
Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

The Group has adopted the amendments included 
in Amendments to References to the Conceptual 
Framework in IFRS Standards for the first time in the 
current year. The amendments include consequential 
amendments to affected standards so that they 
refer to the new Framework. Not all amendments, 
however, update those pronouncements with regard 
to references to and quotes from the Framework so that 
they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework. Some 
pronouncements are only updated to indicate which 
version of the Framework they are referencing to (the 
IASC Framework adopted by the IASB in 2001, the IASB 
Framework of 2010, or the new revised Framework of 
2018) or to indicate that definitions in the Standard have 
not been updated with the new definitions developed 
in the revised Conceptual Framework.

Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business

The Group has adopted the amendments to IFRS 3 for 
the first time in the current year. The amendments clarify 
that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs 
are not required for an integrated set of activities 
and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered 
a business an acquired set of activities and assets must 
include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive 
process that together significantly contribute to the 
ability to create outputs. The amendments remove 
the assessment of whether market participants are 
capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes 
and continuing to produce outputs. The amendments 
also introduce additional guidance that helps 
to determine whether a substantive process has been 
acquired. The amendments introduce an optional 
concentration test that permits a simplified assessment 
of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not 
a business. Under the optional concentration test, the 
acquired set of activities and assets is not a business 
if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets 
acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset 
or group of similar assets. The amendments are applied 
prospectively to all business combinations and asset 
acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or 
after 1 January 2020.

1.3  Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily 
effective for the current reporting period 
(continued)

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of material

The Group has adopted the amendments to IAS 
1 and IAS 8 for the first time in the current year. The 
amendments make the definition of material in IAS 
1 easier to understand and are not intended to alter 
the underlying concept of materiality in IFRS Standards. 
The concept of ‘obscuring’ material information with 
immaterial information has been included as part of the 
new definition. The threshold for materiality influencing 
users has been changed from ‘could influence’ to ‘could 
reasonably be expected to influence’. The definition 
of material in IAS 8 has been replaced by a reference 
to the definition of material in IAS 1. In addition, the 
IASB amended other Standards and the Conceptual 
Framework that contain a definition of ‘material’ 
or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency.

Their adoption has not had any material impact 
on the disclosures or on the amounts reported 
in these financial statements.

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 17 

  Insurance Contracts

IFRS 10 and IAS 28 
(amendments) 

Amendments to IAS 1 

Amendments to IFRS 3 

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

 Classification of Liabilities 
as Current or Non-current

 Reference to the 
Conceptual Framework

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.

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 two 
reportable segments, which are the two business 
divisions – Bank and Wealth Management.

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 fair value through profit 
and loss (FVTPL) are recognised as ‘Interest income’ 
or ‘Interest expense’ in the profit or loss account using 
the effective interest method.

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

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

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

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

•  Investment and portfolio management - The Group 

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

•  Fund administration - The Group earns a fee 

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

•  Share brokerage - The Group generates share 
brokerage from trading services for customers 
on Port Moresby Stock Exchange (“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 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.

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

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.

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. 

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. 

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

•  Fair values of the assets transferred;

•  Liabilities incurred to the former owners 

of the acquired business; 

•  Equity interests issued by the Group;

•  Fair value of any asset or liability resulting from 
a contingent consideration arrangement; and 

•  Fair value of any pre-existing equity interest 

in the subsidiary. 

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

The excess of the following is considered as goodwill:

•  Consideration transferred;

•  Amount of any non-controlling interest 

in the acquired entity; and 

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

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration 
is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are 
discounted to their present value as at the date 
of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s 
incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at 
which a similar borrowing could be obtained from 
an independent financier under comparable terms 
and conditions. 

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

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

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

1.14 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 FVTPL) are 
added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial 
assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial 
recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable 
to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities 
at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All financial assets are recognised and 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 time frame established 
by the market concerned, and are initially measured 
at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those 
financial assets classified as at FVTPL.

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

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

Specifically:

•  Debt instruments that are held within a business 

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

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

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.

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.

1.14 Financial instruments (continued)
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).

The Group considers the following as constituting 
an event of default:

•  The borrower is past due more than a specified 

number of days depending upon the type of loan 
arrangement on any material credit obligation 
to the Group; or

•  The borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations 

to the Group in full.

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

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

Significant increase in credit risk

The Group monitors all financial assets, issued 
loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts 
that are subject to the impairment requirements 
to assess whether there has been a significant increase 
in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has 
been a significant increase in credit risk the Group will 
measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather 
than 12-month ECL.

The Group’s accounting policy is not to use the practical 
expedient that financial assets with ‘low’ credit risk 
at the reporting date are deemed not to have had 
a significant increase in credit risk. As a result, 
the Group monitors all financial assets, issued loan 
commitments and financial guarantee contracts 
that are subject to impairment for significant 
increase in credit risk.

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial 
recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default 
occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting 
date with the risk of a default occurring that was 
anticipated when the financial instrument was first 
recognised. In making this assessment, the Group 
considers both quantitative and qualitative information 
that is reasonable and supportable. For some loan 
arrangements, the Group has determined based 
on reasonable and supportable information that 
credit risk has not increased significantly even if the 
contractual payments are more than 30 days past due 
and has therefore rebutted the presumption provided 
in IFRS 9. This is in line with general payment behavior 
of the borrowers in the economy. 

Write-off

Loans and debt securities are written off when the 
Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering 
the financial asset (either in its entirety or a portion 
of it). This is the case when the Group determines that 
the borrower does not have assets or sources of income 
that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the 
amounts subject to the write-off. A write- off constitutes 
a 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.

1.16 Intangible assets and other non-financial asset
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). 

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

1.14 Financial instruments (continued) 
Financial guarantee contracts

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

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

•  The amount of the loss allowance determined 

in accordance with IFRS 9; and

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

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

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

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  10% 
30% 
Motor vehicles 
15% to 30%
Office equipment 

11.25% to 15% 

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.

Customer deposits relationship / intangible

1.18 Employee benefits

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 gave 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.

Software

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

1.17 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.

Short-term obligations

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

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

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

Share-based payments

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

Cash bonus

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

1.19   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 recognised 
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 as at the reporting date.

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)). 

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

The areas involving significant estimates or judgments are: 

•  Significant increase in credit risk – note 3;

•  Recognition of deferred tax asset for carried forward 

tax losses – note 11(a);

•  Estimated allowance for loans and advances 

to customers – note 16 and 3(b);

•  Estimated goodwill impairment – note 37;

Diluted earnings per share

•  Estimated useful life of intangible asset – note 20;

•  Estimation of the fair value of performance right 
grants and the number of grants expected to 
vest – note 27(c).

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.

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

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

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

a) Market risk 

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

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

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk;

(ii) 

Interest rate risk; and

(iii)  Equity price risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk
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. 

Exposure

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in PGK, was as follows:

Sensitivity

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

Interest rate risk 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:

Given the profile of assets and liabilities at 31 December 
2020 and prevailing interest rates, a 100 basis points 
increase/decrease in market rates in relation to lending 
will result in a maximum possibility of K1,407,752 
(2019: K14,014,330) decrease/increase in net interest 
income at a Group level.

(iii) Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk 
due to the majority of the investments in listed equity 
securities through profit or loss. To manage its price 
risks arising from financials assets at fair value through 
profit or loss, the Group diversifies its portfolio. 
Diversification of portfolio is done in accordance with 
the limits set by the Group. The Group’s financial assets 
at fair value through profit or loss are publicly traded 
on the Port Moresby Stock Exchange (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 
2020 and net assets as of balance date would have 
been affected by K534,112 (2019: K381,777). The Group’s 
sensitivity to equity prices has changed relative to asset 
balance from the prior year.

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

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

•  Ensuring that the Group has appropriate credit  
risk practices, including an effective system 
of internal control, to consistently determine 
adequate allowances in accordance with the 
Group’s stated policies and procedures, 
IFRS and relevant supervisory guidance.

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

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

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

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

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s risk grading 
to categorise exposures according to the degree 
of risk of default. Risk grades are subject to regular 
reviews.

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s processes 

for measuring ECL including monitoring of credit risk, 
incorporation of forward looking information and the 
method used to measure ECL.

•  Ensuring that the Group has policies and procedures 

in place to appropriately maintain and validate 
models used to assess and measure ECL.

•  Establishing a sound credit risk accounting 

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

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

3. Financial risk management (continued)
(ii) Significant increase in credit risk

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

Internal credit risk ratings

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

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

•  Payment record, including payment ratios and ageing 

analysis;

•  Extent of utilisation of granted limit;

•  Forbearances (both requested and granted);

•  Changes in business, financial and economic conditions;

•  Credit rating information supplied by external rating 

agencies;

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

•  For corporate exposures: information obtained by 
periodic review of customer files including audited 
financial statements review, known events and 
conditions impacting the credit risk of the 
borrower, changes in the financial sector 
the customer operates etc.

The Group uses credit risk grades as a primary input 
into the determination of whether there has been 
a significant increase in credit risk in addition to

Loss

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

•  Credit rating of the borrower has deteriorated 

since initial recognition; or 

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

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

Incorporation of forward-looking information

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

Measurement of ECL

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

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

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

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

Stage 2

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

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

Stage 3

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.:

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 2020, 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’ creditworthiness is an analysis of their financial performance 
and their liquidity, leverage, management effectiveness and growth ratios. In addition, the Group also requires 
collaterals and guarantees to secure the corporate loans. Similar to personal lending, collaterals are required to be 
valued by independent firm of valuers before the facility is approved. Approved facility limit is equal to or less than 
the assessed value of the collateral discounted by 10-50% to allow for sufficient buffer should there be any adverse 
movement in the value due to change in macroeconomic indicators. Collateral values are updated at least every 
2 years if there are any changes to the loan facilities or if the facility is classified as stage 3 loan. The Group monitors 
the collateral value on an ongoing basis and in event of any indicator which may result in significant decline will 
require the fresh valuation to be performed. As at 31 December 2020, the portfolio of the corporate lending is fully 
collateralized by eligible collateral.

Investment securities

The Group holds investment in government inscribed stocks measured at amortised cost with 
a carrying amount of K114,519,320 (2019: K34,003,163) which are collateralized by sovereign guarantee.  

Bank guarantee and documentary letters of credit

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 K1m (31 December 2019: 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.

•  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.

•  Assigned responsibilities for internal and external written communications.

4. Capital Adequacy
Kina Securities Limited (“KSL”) as the parent Company 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.

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

1.  Is adequate to protect the interest of depositors and creditors,

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

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

PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy` prescribes ranges of capital ratios to measure whether KSL 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%, 

3.  Leverage capital of 6%.

As at 31 December 2020, KSL’s capital ratios were in compliance with the BPNG Minimum capital adequacy 
requirements as follows:

The liquidity gap in ‘up to 1 month bucket’ is due to assumption that current and saving deposits amounting 
to   K1,330m (31 December 2019:1,919m) included within ‘due to customers’ mature within one month since 
these are on demand and do not have any fixed or determinable maturity.

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.

In September 2020, the group conducted a Non-Renounceable Rights Issue (ANREO) to further strengthen the 
capital base and regulatory ratios. Based on this, a total of 112,190,731 additional shares were issued resulting 
in an increase in share capital of PGK217.7m.

b) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year. The group has no significant dilutive potential ordinary 
shares. Consequently, basic earnings per ordinary share equals diluted earnings per share.

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 following STI plan arrangements were in place during the year ended 31 December 2020:

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 2020, 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.

There was a total of K204,924k relating loan commitment at balance sheet date (31 December 2019: K131,801k).

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.

Reconciliation of level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities

The group holds investment in unlisted securities amounting to K6,002,718 (31 December 2019: K2,801,607) in level 3 
category for which carrying amount is considered as reasonable approximation of fair value. As such no reconciliation 
of level 3 financial instruments has been presented in these financial statements.

The parent holds investment in unlisted securities amounting to K5,974,431 (31 December 2019: K165,000) in level 3 
category for which carrying amount is considered as reasonable approximation of fair value. As such no reconciliation 
of level 3 financial instruments has been presented in these financial statements.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

For the financial instruments not measured at fair value as at 31 December 2020 and 2019, there is no material 
difference between the fair value and carrying value of the Group’s and the Parent’s financial assets and liabilities.

37. Goodwill
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 2020 and no impairment loss arose on this assessment. 
The goodwill is allocated and tested at the KSL 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 2019: 3.0%). The estimated 
cash flows are discounted using a discount rate of 4.7% (31 December 2019: 6.5%). The fair value calculation includes 
future maintainable earnings of K128.5m (31 December 2019: K74.8m) and earnings multiple of 8 times. There is no 
reasonably possible change in these key assumptions on which the CGU’s recoverable amount is based would cause 
its carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

Kina Securities Limited Annual Report 2020   129

38. Group reorganisation
During the year, the Group reorganised its legal structure so that the subsidiaries Kina Bank Limited, Kina Ventures 
Limited and Kina Properties Limited (amalgamating subsidiaries) were amalgamated into Kina Securities Limited 
(KSL). The amalgamation was affected at the carrying amount of net assets of the amalgamating subsidiaries 
immediately before the effective date of amalgamation. The difference between the pre-amalgamation carrying 
amount of the net assets and the investment in the amalgamating subsidiaries was recognised as ‘capital reserves’ 
in separate financial statements of KSL. Further, the separate financial statement of KSL includes results of the 
amalgamating subsidiaries from the effective date of amalgamation. The amalgamation does not have any 
impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

39. Events after the statements of financial reporting date
Subsequent to the financial reporting date, the directors declared a final dividend of AUD 6.0 cents / PGK 16.9 toea 
per share (K48.5m). 

The Group announced the proposed acquisition of Westpac’s Pacific Businesses in PNG and Fiji which is expected 
to be completed by September 2021. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals by the Bank of Papua New 
Guinea and the ICCC (Competition regulator) in Papua New Guinea and the Reserve Bank of Fiji and the FCCC 
(competition regulator) in Fiji. Kina’s intention is to maintain Westpac PNG’s commercial banking licence and 
operate the acquired business under a new, independent brand. The new brand will effectively continue the 
Westpac business but under a new name.  

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. Given the 
recent surge in Covid-19 cases in Papua New Guinea in 2021, this is still reported as a subsequent event.

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 
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.
