Financial Overview
Condensed Interim Consolidated Income Statement
Net income
The Bank's net income increased by 180.0 percent to KZT 26.0 billion from KZT 9.3 billion for 9M 2009 primarily due to decrease in interest expense by 15.2 percent and impairment charge on interest earning and other assets by 48.1 percent, as well as increase in fee and commission income (excluding pension fund and asset management) by 8.6 percent and recoveries of provisions against letters of credit and guarantees issued for KZT 1.4 billion. The increase in net income was partially offset by decrease in interest income by 10.0 percent, decrease in pension fund and asset management fees by 55.3 percent, decrease in net gain on foreign exchange operations by 36.8 percent and increase in operating expenses by 19.3 percent.
Interest income
Interest income decreased by 10.0 percent to KZT 134.2 billion for 9M 2010 from KZT 149.2 billion for 9M 2009 mainly as a result of decrease in average interest rates on interest-earning assets to 9.4 percent p.a. for 9M 2010 from 11.8 percent p.a. for 9M 2009, as well as decrease in average balances of loans to customers by 8.6 percent for 9M 2010 compared to 9M 2009. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a 80.1 percent increase in interest income on available-for-sale investment securities for 9M 2010 compared to 9M 2009 primarily due to purchases of higher-yielding corporate bonds into the portfolio of available-for-sale investment securities during 9M 2010.
Interest income decreased by 0.2 percent for 3Q 2010 compared to 2Q 2010 mainly due to decline in interest income on loans to customers by 0.4 percent and decline in interest income on amounts due from credit institutions and cash and cash equivalents by 15.2 percent. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a 7.9 percent increase in interest income on available-for-sale investment securities in 3Q 2010 which average balances increased by 3.4 percent for 3Q 2010 compared to 2Q 2010. The average interest rates on interest-earning assets remained flat at 9.2 percent p.a. in 3Q 2010 compared to 2Q 2010.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by 15.2 percent to KZT 66.8 billion for 9M 2010 from KZT 78.8 billion for 9M 2009 as a result of decrease in average rates on interest-bearing liabilities to 5.0 percent p.a. for 9M 2010 from 6.2 percent p.a. for 9M 2009, partially offset by a 5.7 percent increase in average balances of interest-bearing liabilities for 9M 2010 compared to 9M 2009. The decrease in average rates on interest-bearing liabilities was mainly due to decrease in average rates on amounts due to customers to 4.5 percent p.a. for 9M 2010 from 5.8 percent p.a. for 9M 2009.
Interest expense decreased by 7.9 percent to KZT 20.8 billion for 3Q 2010 from KZT 22.6 billion for 2Q 2010 mainly due to average balances of amounts due to customers decreasing by 0.9 percent and average interest rates on amounts due to customers decreasing to 4.0 percent p.a. for 3Q 2010 from 4.5 percent p.a. for 2Q 2010.
Impairment charge on interest earning and other assets
Impairment charge on interest earning and other assets decreased by 48.1 percent to KZT 38.1 billion from KZT 73.4 billion for 9M 2009, reflecting continued stabilization of loan portfolio quality since mid-2009.
Fees and commissions
Fee and commission income (excluding pension fund and asset management) increased by 8.6 percent to KZT 18.6 billion from KZT 17.1 billion for 9M 2009 primarily as a result of growing volumes of transactional banking business.
Performance-linked asset management fees in pension fund business decreased by 70.1 percent to KZT 3.3 billion from KZT 11.1 billion for 9M 2009 as a result of overall decline on domestic and global securities markets in May, June and August 2010, as well as reflecting "one-off" increase in asset management fees in 1Q 2009 mainly due to KZT devaluation. This decline was partially offset by increase in pension administration fees by 34.5 percent to KZT 2.5 billion from KZT 1.8 billion for 9M 2009 as a result of growing number of pension fund customers and average size of pension contributions.
Pension fund business and asset management fees increased to KZT 2.4 billion for 3Q 2010 from KZT 8 million for 2Q 2010 due to better conditions on the global securities markets.
Fee and commission expense increased by 19.1 percent to KZT 4.0 billion from KZT 3.4 billion for 9M 2009 mainly as a result of increase in deposit insurance expenses by 32.2 percent for 9M 2010 compared to 9M 2009.
Other non-interest income
Other non-interest income increased by 1.9 percent to KZT 16.8 billion from KZT 16.5 billion for 9M 2009, primarily as a result of a 50.7 percent increase in insurance underwriting income for 9M 2010 compared to 9M 2009. The increase in other non-interest income was partially off-set by decrease in net gain on foreign exchange operations by 36.8 percent to KZT 5.4 billion from KZT 8.6 billion for 9M 2009 primarily as a result of "one-off" increase in volumes of foreign exchange operations by customers in 1Q 2009 due to KZT devaluation.
Net gain on foreign exchange dealing increased by 16.1 percent to KZT 2.0 billion for 3Q 2010 from KZT 1.7 billion for 2Q 2010 as a result of growing volumes of foreign exchange business with customers partially offset by lower spread on such transactions.
Insurance underwriting income less insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased by 13.8 percent to KZT 3.6 billion from KZT 3.1 billion for 9M 2009 primarily as a result of growth in insurance premiums written due to growing volumes of insurance business.
Non-interest expenses
Operating expenses increased by 19.3 percent to KZT 31.7 billion from KZT 26.6 billion for 9M 2009 primarily due to increase in salaries and other employee benefits by 18.4 percent as a result of partial accrual of employee bonuses for 2010, increase in other operating expenses by 188.8 percent and "one-off" write-off of intangible assets for KZT 1.1 billion in 1Q 2010. This was partially off-set by decreased expenses on repair and maintenance by 16.4 percent and rent expenses by 29.3 percent due to transfer of the Bank's Head Office to a new building at the end of 2009, professional services by 34.6 percent and insurance agents' fees by 32.9 percent.
Provisions created against letters of credit and guarantees issued have been recovered for KZT 1.4 billion during 3Q 2010 due to decrease in portfolio of guarantees.

Liquid assets increased by 6.4 percent to KZT 712.5 billion from KZT 669.8 billion as at YE 2009 mainly due to purchase of NBK notes and Treasury bills of the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan. The increase was partially offset by a 49.1 percent decrease in cash and cash equivalents during 9M 2010 mainly as a result of decrease in balances of short-term deposits with the National Bank of Kazakhstan, as well as in balances of correspondent accounts, short-term and overnight deposits with OECD based banks.
Liquid assets decreased by 14.0 percent to KZT 712.5 billion from KZT 828.6 billion as at 30 June 2010 mainly due to decrease in cash and cash equivalents by 35.4 percent during 3Q 2010.
Loans to customers
Net loans to customers declined by 3.4 percent compared to YE 2009 and increased by 0.3 percent compared to 30 June 2010.

As at 30 September 2010, the Bank held the highest market share in commercial letters of credit of 21.1 percent.
Amounts due to customers
Term deposits of legal entities decreased by 15.8 percent compared to YE 2009 mainly due to early repayment of a 3-year KZT 60 billion special government deposit to JSC "Sovereign Wealth Fund "Samruk-Kazyna" on 18 June 2010 and termination of a number of large-ticket corporate deposits in 3Q 2010. Current accounts of legal entities increased by 42.5 percent compared to YE 2009 mainly due to growing volumes of transactional banking business and transfer of part of term deposits to current accounts.

On 15 October 2010, the Bank made early repayment of a KZT 11.7 billion loan to Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund JSC.
Debt securities issued
Debt securities issued decreased by 0.8 percent compared to YE 2009 primarily as a result of repayment of local subordinated bonds for a nominal amount of KZT 5 billion in June 2010, revaluation of Eurobonds and foreign currency indexed local bonds, as well as increased inflation rate with regard to reverse inflation indexed KZT denominated bonds. As at 30 September 2010, the Bank had three outstanding Eurobond issues for USD 300 million, USD 500 million and USD 700 million with bullet maturity in May 2013, October 2013 and May 2017, respectively.
