Citibank, N.A. (Bangladesh Branches) Report and financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MANAGEMENT OF CITIBANK, N.A. BANGLADESH BRANCHES 1 Status of the Bank 1.1 Legal form of the bank Citibank, N.A. Bangladesh Branches ( "the Bank") commenced its banking operations in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 24 June 1995 after obtaining licence from Bangladesh Bank dated 26 January 1995. Citigroup Inc. (formed from the merger of Citicorp Inc. and Travelers Group Inc. on 8 October 1998) a holding company under the law of United States of America, is the sole shareholder of Citibank, N.A. The Offshore Banking Unit (OBU) started its operations on 26 April 2006. 1.2 Nature of business Citibank N.A. started its operations in Bangladesh in 1987, with the opening of a representative office. The Bank opened its first full-service branch in Dhaka in 1995. The Bank now has three branches, these are in Motijheel, Gulshan and Chittagong and two EPZ service counters of its offshore banking units with 142 employees serving corporate customers. Since 1987, Citi’s operations encompass primarily on corporate and commercial banking services under the Institutional Clients Group (ICG). In Bangladesh, Citi provides a comprehensive range of financial services including treasury management, transaction services, foreign exchange and structured finance to corporate clients, governments and financial institutions. In 2008 the Bank started to offer Direct Custody and Clearing (DCC) services to its offshore clients. 2 Basis of preparation 2.1 Combined financial statements for DBU and OBU Pursuant to Bangladesh Bank circular BRPD Circular No: 02, dated 25 February 2019, these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 comprise the operations of both the Domestic Banking Unit (DBU) and the OBU, together referred to as "the Bank". In previous years, separate financial statements were prepared for DBU and for OBU. In the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, prior year comparatives have been rearranged to conform to current year's presentation. 2.2 Statement of compliance The Financial Reporting Act 2015 (FRA) was enacted in 2015. Under the FRA, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has been formed in 2017 and is yet to issue Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) for public interest entities such as banks. The Bank Companies Act 1991 has been amended to require banks to prepare their financial statements under such financial reporting standards. As FRC is yet to issue any financial reporting standards as per the provisions of the FRA (section 69) and hence International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) are still applicable. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and the Companies Act 1994. In case any requirement of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differ with those of IFRS, the requirements of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank shall prevail. Material departures from the requirements of IFRS are as follows: i) Investment in equity instruments IFRS: As per requirements of IFRS 9 classification and measurement of investment in shares will depend on how these instruments are managed (i.e. the entity’s business model) and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Based on these factors it would generally fall either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under “at fair value through other comprehensive income”. Bangladesh Bank: As per Banking Regulation and Policy Department (BRPD) circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investment; otherwise investments are recognised at costs. Citi recognizes investment in shares and securities at cost basis. ii) Subsequent measurement of Government securities IFRS: Debt instruments include both bonds and bills. As per requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, bonds can be categorised as "Amortised Cost (AC)", "Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)" or "Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)". Bonds designated as Amortised Cost are measured at amortised cost method and interest income is recognised through profit and loss account. Any changes in fair value of bonds designated as FVTPL is recognised in profit and loss account while changes in fair value of bonds designated as FVOCI is recognised in other reserve as a part of equity. As per requirements of IFRS 9, bills can be categorised either as "Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)" or "Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)". Any change in fair value of bills is recognised in profit and loss or other reserve as a part of equity respectively. Bangladesh Bank: As per DOS Circular no. 05 (26 May 2008) and subsequent clarification in DOS Circular no 05 (28 January 2009), Government securities/bills are classified either into Held for Trading (HFT) or Held to Maturity (HTM). HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at year end any gains on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognised in other reserves as a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortisation of discount are recognised in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are amortised at the year end and gains or losses on amortisation are recognised in other reserve as a part of equity. iii) Repo and Reverse Repo transactions IFRS: As per IFRS 9 when an entity sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo), the arrangement is treated as a loan and the underlying asset continues to be recognised at amortised cost in the entity’s financial statements. The difference between selling price and repurchase price will be treated as interest expense. The same rule applies to the opposite side of the transaction (reverse repo). Bangladesh Bank: As per DOS Circular letter no. 6 (15 July 2010) and subsequent clarification in DOS circular no. 02 (23 January 2013), when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock lending), the arrangement is accounted for as a normal sales transaction and the financial asset is derecognised in the seller’s book and recognised in the buyer’s book. However, as per DMD circular letter no. 7 dated (29 July 2012), non primary dealer banks are eligible to participate in the Assured Liquidity Support (ALS) programme, whereby such banks may enter collateralised repo arrangements with Bangladesh Bank. Here the selling bank accounts for the arrangement as a loan, thereby continuing to recognise the asset. iv) Provisions on loans and advances IFRS: As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on loans and advances based on expected credit losses (ECL). At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for loans and advances at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL if the credit risk on these loans and advances has increased significantly since initial recognition, whether assessed on an individual or collective basis, considering all reasonable information (including that which is forward-looking). For those loans and advances for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, at each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance at an amount equivalent to 12 months expected credit losses that may result from default events on such loans and advances that are possible within 12 months after reporting date. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No. 07 (21 June 2018), BRPD circular No. 13 (18 October 2018), BRPD circular No. 15 (27 September 2017), BRPD circular No. 16 (18 November 2014), BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012), BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012) and BRPD circular No. 05 (29 May 2013) a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (good/standard and SMA loans) has to be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful loans and bad losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively for loans and advances depending on time past due. Again as per BRPD circular no. 10 (18 September 2007) and BRPD circular no. 14 (23 September 2012) and BRPD circular no. 07 (21 June 2018), a general provision at 1% is required to be provided for all off-balance sheet exposures except on 'bills for collection' and 'Guarantees' where the counter guarantees have been issued by Multilateral Development Bank (MDB)/International Bank having BB rating grade '1' equivalent outlined in the Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with Basel III). Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IFRS 9. v) Recognition of interest in suspense IFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified at amortised cost as per IFRS 9 and interest income is recognised in profit and loss account using the effective interest rate (EIR) method whereby the EIR is applied on the gross carrying amount over the term of the loan. Once a loan subsequntly become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the EIR to the amortised cost of these loans and advances. Bangladesh Bank: In accordance with BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, interest accrued on sub-standard (SS) and Doubtful (DF) loans are credited to "interest suspense account" included in "other liabilities" instead of income account. Interest from loans and advances ceases to be accrued when they are classified as Bad and loss category. vi) Other comprehensive income IFRS: As per IAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial statements or the elements of Other Comprehensive Income are to be included in a single Other Comprehensive Income Statement. Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements through BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 which will strictly be followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive Income nor are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single (OCI) statement. As such the Bank does not prepare an OCI statement. However elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity. vii) Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure IIn several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present financial instruments differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such some disclosure and presentation requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 32 cannot be made in the financial statements. viii) Financial guarantees IFRS: As per IFRS 9, financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance for expected credit losses as per impairment requirement and the amount initially recognised less, income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 07 dated 21 June 2018, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin. ix) Cash and cash equivalent IFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per IAS 7. Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as money at call and on short notice, treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills and prize bond are not shown as cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Money at call and on short notice are presented on the face of the balance sheet while treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills, prize bonds are shown as investments. However, in the cash flow statement, money at call and short notice and prize bonds are shown as cash and cash equivalents beside cash in hand, balance with Bangladesh Bank and other banks. x) Non banking asset IFRS: No indication of non banking asset is found in any IFRS. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, there must exist a face item named non banking asset. xi) Cash flow statement IFRS: Cash flow statement can be prepared either in direct method or in indirect method. The presentation is selected to present these cash flows in a manner that is most appropriate for the business or industry. The method selected is applied consistently. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect methods xii) Balance with Bangladesh Bank: IFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day operations as per IAS 7. Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents. xiii) Off-balance sheet items IFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence there is no requirement for disclosure of off-balance sheet items. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. L/C, L/G, etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of balance sheet. 31 December 2019 Taka Taka 31 December 2018 Notes S.

Bangladesh Branches Balance Sheet In BDT Rahman Rahman Huq Chartered Accountants Rahman Rahman Huq Chartered Accountants Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Citibank, N.A. Bangladesh Branches (the “Bank”) which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2019 and the profit and loss account, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note 2.2. 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the ethical requirement that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements and Internal Controls Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2.2, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank Regulations require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 ISAs 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 financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: - Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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. - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. - Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 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 Bank to cease to continue as a going concern. - Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance 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. Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the Companies Act, 1994, the Bank Company Act, 1991 and the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report that: i) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof; ii) to the extent noted during the course of our audit work performed on the basis stated under the Auditor’s Responsibility section in forming the above opinion on the financial statements of the Bank and considering the reports of the Management to Bangladesh Bank on anti-fraud internal controls and instances of fraud and forgeries as stated under the Management’s Responsibility for the financial statements and internal control: (a) internal audit, internal control and risk management arrangements of the Bank as disclosed in the financial statements appeared to be materially adequate; and (b) nothing has come to our attention regarding material instances of forgery or irregularity or administrative error and exception or anything detrimental committed by employees of the Bank; iii) in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Bank and the Bank so far as it appeared from our examination of those books; iv) the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and consolidated in the financial statements; v) The balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the annexed notes dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account; vi) the financial statements of the Bank have been drawn up in conformity with prevailing rules, regulations and accounting standards as well as related guidance issued by Bangladesh Bank; vii) adequate provisions have been made for advance and other assets which are in our opinion, doubtful of recovery; viii) the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory; ix) we have reviewed over 80% of the risk weighted assets of the Bank and spent over 1,700 person hours; and x) Capital to Risk-weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) as required by Bangladesh Bank has been maintained adequately during the year.

Report and financial Statements as at andfor the year ended 31 December 2019

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MANAGEMENT OFCITIBANK, N.A.

BANGLADESH BRANCHES

1 Status of the Bank1.1 Legal form of the bank

Citibank, N.A. Bangladesh Branches ( "the Bank") commenced its banking operations in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 24

June 1995 after obtaining licence from Bangladesh Bank dated 26 January 1995. Citigroup Inc. (formed from the

merger of Citicorp Inc. and Travelers Group Inc. on 8 October 1998) a holding company under the law of United

States of America, is the sole shareholder of Citibank, N.A. The Offshore Banking Unit (OBU) started its operations

on 26 April 2006.

1.2 Nature of business Citibank N.A. started its operations in Bangladesh in 1987, with the opening of a representative office. The Bank

opened its first full-service branch in Dhaka in 1995. The Bank now has three branches, these are in Motijheel,

Gulshan and Chittagong and two EPZ service counters of its offshore banking units with 142 employees serving

corporate customers. Since 1987, Citi’s operations encompass primarily on corporate and commercial banking

services under the Institutional Clients Group (ICG). In Bangladesh, Citi provides a comprehensive range of financial

services including treasury management, transaction services, foreign exchange and structured finance to

corporate clients, governments and financial institutions. In 2008 the Bank started to offer Direct Custody and

Clearing (DCC) services to its offshore clients.

2 Basis of preparation2.1 Combined financial statements for DBU and OBU Pursuant to Bangladesh Bank circular BRPD Circular No: 02, dated 25 February 2019, these financial statements for

the year ended 31 December 2019 comprise the operations of both the Domestic Banking Unit (DBU) and the OBU,

together referred to as "the Bank".

In previous years, separate financial statements were prepared for DBU and for OBU. In the financial statements for

the year ended 31 December 2019, prior year comparatives have been rearranged to conform to current year's

presentation.

2.2 Statement of compliance The Financial Reporting Act 2015 (FRA) was enacted in 2015. Under the FRA, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC)

has been formed in 2017 and is yet to issue Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) for public interest entities such as

banks. The Bank Companies Act 1991 has been amended to require banks to prepare their financial statements under

such financial reporting standards. As FRC is yet to issue any financial reporting standards as per the provisions of

the FRA (section 69) and hence International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the Institute of

Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) are still applicable.

Accordingly, the financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013, the rules and regulations

issued by Bangladesh Bank and the Companies Act 1994. In case any requirement of the Bank Company

(amendment) Act, 2013, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differ with those of IFRS, the

requirements of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank

shall prevail. Material departures from the requirements of IFRS are as follows:

i) Investment in equity instruments IFRS: As per requirements of IFRS 9 classification and measurement of investment in shares will depend on how

these instruments are managed (i.e. the entity’s business model) and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Based on these factors it would generally fall either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under

“at fair value through other comprehensive income”.

Bangladesh Bank: As per Banking Regulation and Policy Department (BRPD) circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003

investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book

value of last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in

value of investment; otherwise investments are recognised at costs. Citi recognizes investment in shares and

securities at cost basis.

ii) Subsequent measurement of Government securities IFRS: Debt instruments include both bonds and bills. As per requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, bonds

can be categorised as "Amortised Cost (AC)", "Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)" or "Fair Value through

Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)". Bonds designated as Amortised Cost are measured at amortised cost

method and interest income is recognised through profit and loss account. Any changes in fair value of bonds

designated as FVTPL is recognised in profit and loss account while changes in fair value of bonds designated as

FVOCI is recognised in other reserve as a part of equity.

As per requirements of IFRS 9, bills can be categorised either as "Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)" or

"Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)". Any change in fair value of bills is recognised in profit

and loss or other reserve as a part of equity respectively.

Bangladesh Bank: As per DOS Circular no. 05 (26 May 2008) and subsequent clarification in DOS Circular no 05

(28 January 2009), Government securities/bills are classified either into Held for Trading (HFT) or Held to Maturity

(HTM). HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at year end any gains on revaluation of

securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognised in other reserves as a part of equity

and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are charged in the

profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortisation of discount are recognised in the profit

and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are amortised at the year end

and gains or losses on amortisation are recognised in other reserve as a part of equity.

iii) Repo and Reverse Repo transactions IFRS: As per IFRS 9 when an entity sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to

repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo), the arrangement is treated as a loan

and the underlying asset continues to be recognised at amortised cost in the entity’s financial statements. The

difference between selling price and repurchase price will be treated as interest expense. The same rule applies to

the opposite side of the transaction (reverse repo).

Bangladesh Bank: As per DOS Circular letter no. 6 (15 July 2010) and subsequent clarification in DOS circular no.

02 (23 January 2013), when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to

repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock lending), the arrangement

is accounted for as a normal sales transaction and the financial asset is derecognised in the seller’s book and

recognised in the buyer’s book.

However, as per DMD circular letter no. 7 dated (29 July 2012), non primary dealer banks are eligible to participate in the Assured Liquidity Support (ALS) programme, whereby such banks may enter collateralised repo arrangements with Bangladesh Bank. Here the selling bank accounts for the arrangement as a loan, thereby

continuing to recognise the asset.

iv) Provisions on loans and advances IFRS: As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on loans and advances based on expected

credit losses (ECL). At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for loans and

advances at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL if the credit risk on these loans and advances has increased

significantly since initial recognition, whether assessed on an individual or collective basis, considering all

reasonable information (including that which is forward-looking). For those loans and advances for which the credit

risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, at each reporting date, an entity shall measure the

impairment allowance at an amount equivalent to 12 months expected credit losses that may result from default

events on such loans and advances that are possible within 12 months after reporting date.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No. 07 (21 June 2018), BRPD circular No. 13 (18 October 2018), BRPD

circular No. 15 (27 September 2017), BRPD circular No. 16 (18 November 2014), BRPD circular No.14 (23 September

2012), BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012) and BRPD circular No. 05 (29 May 2013) a general provision at

0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (good/standard and SMA loans) has to be maintained

regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful loans and bad losses

has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively for loans and advances depending on time past due. Again

as per BRPD circular no. 10 (18 September 2007) and BRPD circular no. 14 (23 September 2012) and BRPD circular

no. 07 (21 June 2018), a general provision at 1% is required to be provided for all off-balance sheet exposures except

on 'bills for collection' and 'Guarantees' where the counter guarantees have been issued by Multilateral

Development Bank (MDB)/International Bank having BB rating grade '1' equivalent outlined in the Guidelines on Risk

Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with Basel III). Such provision

policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IFRS 9.

v) Recognition of interest in suspense IFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified at amortised cost as per IFRS 9 and interest

income is recognised in profit and loss account using the effective interest rate (EIR) method whereby the EIR is applied on the gross carrying amount over the term of the loan. Once a loan subsequntly become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the EIR to the amortised cost of these loans and advances.

Bangladesh Bank: In accordance with BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, interest accrued on sub-standard (SS) and Doubtful (DF) loans are credited to "interest suspense account" included in "other liabilities" instead of income account. Interest from loans and advances ceases to be accrued when they are classified as Bad and loss category.

vi) Other comprehensive income IFRS: As per IAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial statements or the elements of

Other Comprehensive Income are to be included in a single Other Comprehensive Income Statement. Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements through BRPD circular no. 14

dated 25 June 2003 which will strictly be followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by

Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive Income nor are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income

allowed to be included in a single (OCI) statement. As such the Bank does not prepare an OCI statement. However

elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity.

vii) Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure IIn several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present financial instruments

differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such some disclosure and presentation requirements of IFRS 7 and

IAS 32 cannot be made in the financial statements.

viii) Financial guarantees IFRS: As per IFRS 9, financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance for expected credit losses as per impairment requirement and the amount initially recognised less, income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 07 dated 21 June 2018, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin.

ix) Cash and cash equivalent IFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per IAS 7.

Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as money at call and on short notice, treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills and prize bond are not shown as cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Money at call and on short notice are presented on the face of the balance sheet while treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills, prize bonds are shown as investments. However, in the cash flow statement, money at call and short notice and prize bonds are shown as cash and cash equivalents beside cash in hand, balance with Bangladesh Bank and other banks.

x) Non banking asset IFRS: No indication of non banking asset is found in any IFRS.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, there must exist a face item named non

banking asset. xi) Cash flow statement

IFRS: Cash flow statement can be prepared either in direct method or in indirect method. The presentation is

selected to present these cash flows in a manner that is most appropriate for the business or industry. The method

selected is applied consistently.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect

methods

xii) Balance with Bangladesh Bank: IFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day

operations as per IAS 7.

Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.

xiii) Off-balance sheet items IFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence there is no requirement for disclosure of

off-balance sheet items.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. L/C, L/G, etc.)

must be disclosed separately on the face of balance sheet.

Chartered Accountants

OpinionWe have audited the financial statements of Citibank, N.A. Bangladesh Branches (the “Bank”) which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2019 and the profit and loss account, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note 2.2.

Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the ethical requirement that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements and Internal ControlsManagement is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2.2, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank Regulations require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 ISAs 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.- Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 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 Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance 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.

Report on other Legal and Regulatory RequirementsIn accordance with the Companies Act, 1994, the Bank Company Act, 1991 and the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report that:i) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;ii) to the extent noted during the course of our audit work performed on the basis stated under the Auditor’s Responsibility section in forming the above opinion on the financial statements of the Bank and considering the reports of the Management to Bangladesh Bank on anti-fraud internal controls and instances of fraud and forgeries as stated under the Management’s Responsibility for the financial statements and internal control:(a) internal audit, internal control and risk management arrangements of the Bank as disclosed in the financial statements appeared to be materially adequate; and(b) nothing has come to our attention regarding material instances of forgery or irregularity or administrative error and exception or anything detrimental committed by employees of the Bank;iii) in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Bank and the Bank so far as it appeared from our examination of those books;iv) the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and consolidated in the financial statements;v) The balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the annexed notes dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account;vi) the financial statements of the Bank have been drawn up in conformity with prevailing rules, regulations and accounting standards as well as related guidance issued by Bangladesh Bank;vii) adequate provisions have been made for advance and other assets which are in our opinion, doubtful of recovery;viii) the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;ix) we have reviewed over 80% of the risk weighted assets of the Bank and spent over 1,700 person hours; andx) Capital to Risk-weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) as required by Bangladesh Bank has been maintained adequately during the year.

IFRS: As per IFRS 9. loans and advances should be presented net of provisions.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 (25 June 2003), provision on loans and advances

presentedseparately as liability and cannot be netted off against loans and advances.

xv) Presentation of Intangible Assets

IFRS: An intangible asset must be identified and recognised, and the disclosure must be given as per

IAS 38.

Bangladesh Bank: There is no specific regulation for intangible assets in BRPD circular no. (25 June

2003)hence, it is shown in fixed assets.

xvi) Provision on financial guarantees

IFRS: As per IFRS 9 bank shall recognise credit losses on undrawn loan commitments as the present

value ofthe difference between the contractual cash flow that are due by the customer if the

commitment is drawn downand the cash flows that bank expects to receive.

September2012), the Bank is required to maintain provision at 1% against gross off-balance sheet

exposures (whichincludes undrawn loan commitments).

2.3 Basis of measurement

The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the

following

-Government treasury bills and bonds designated as 'Held for trading (HFT)' at market value using

marking tomarket concept with gains credited to revaluation reserve as per DOS circular 05

dated 26 May 2008 andDOS circular 05 dated 28 January 2009.

-Government treasury bills and bonds are designated as 'Held to maturity (HTM)' and remeasured

at presentvalue using amortisation concept as per DOS circular 05 dated 26 May 2008 and DOS

circular 05 dated 28January 2009.

-Investment in shares of listed companies are valued at market price and unlisted companies at cost

or book value of last audited balance sheet, whichever is lower.

-Net asset/(liability) of defined benefit scheme is net of present value of defined benefit

obligations, total planassets and other related items as required by IAS 19.

2.4 Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in BangladeshTaka(Taka/Tk/BDT)which is the Bank's

functional currency. The functional currency of OBU is US Dollar(USD). The financial statements

of OBU have been translated to presentation currency (Taka/Tk/BDT) using the exchange rate

prevailing at balance sheet date.Except as otherwise indicated, financial information presented

in Taka has been rounded to the nearest integer.

2.5 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Bangladesh Bank Circulars and

IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the

application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and

expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future

periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical

judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts

recognised in the financial statements are described below:

(a) Provisions for loans and advances

The Bank assesses its loans and advances for objective evidence of impairment on a regular basis

and particularly at year end. Whilst the primary criteria set out in BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23

September 2012 fordetermining whether a loan is impaired is objective, being based on borrower's

ability to make timely repayments,loans and advances may also be classified based on qualitative

judgment. This involves making assessments regarding the economic environment in which

borrowers operate in addition to making judgments about a borrower's financial situation and net

realisable value of any underlying collateral.

(b) Taxation

The estimation of current tax provision involves making judgments regarding admissibility of

certain expenses,estimating the amount of other expenses for tax purposes and applicability of

provision of the Finance Act 2019,although return will be submitted for tax based on the Finance

Act 2020.

In addition, the recognition of deferred tax assets requires the Bank to estimate the extent to

which it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax

assets may be utilised.

(c) Post employment benefits-asset/(liability) from gratuity

The determination of Bank's asset/(liability) from gratuity involves the use of estimates regarding

demographic variables (such as employee turnover and mortality) and financial variables (such

as future increases in salaries and medical costs) that will influence the cost of the benefit.

(d) Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of each item of

fixed asset. The determination of useful life involves the use of estimates regarding expected

use of the assets, expected physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and

legal or similar limits on the use of the assets.

2.6 Reporting period

These financial statements cover one calendar year from 1 January to 31 December 2019.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Citi Country Officer and the Chief

Financial Officer on26 February 2020.

2.7 Cash flow statement

Cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with the BRPD Circular No. 14 dated 25 June

2003issued by the Banking Regulation & Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank.

2.8 Statement of changes in equity

The statement of changes in equity reflects information about the increase or decrease in net

assets or wealth.

2.9 Liquidity statements

The liquidity statement of assets and liabilities as on the reporting date has been prepared based

on residual maturity term which has been given in the statement.

2.10 Changes in significant accounting policy

The Bank initially applied IFRS 16: Leases from 1 January 2019. The Bank applied IFRS 16 using the

modifiedretrospective approach. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 is

not restated i.e. it ispresented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

The details of the changes inaccounting policies are disclosed below. Additionally, the disclosure

requirements under IFRS 16 have notgenerally been applied to comparative information.

A.Definition of a lease

Previously, the Bank determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a

lease underIFRIC 4: Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The Bank now assesses

whether a contract isor contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 3.6.

On transition to IFRS 16, the Bank applied IFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as

leases followingthe practical expedient approach for existing contracts. Contracts that were not

identified as leases under IAS 17and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease under

IFRS 16.

B.As a lessee

As a lessee, the Bank leases office premise. The Bank previously classified rental of office as

operating leasesbased on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the

risks and rewards incidental toownership of the underlying asset to the Bank. Under IFRS 16, the

Bank recognises right-of-use assets(presented as part of other assets) and lease liabilities for

these leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheetwhere lease liabilities were measured at the

present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at theBank's weighted average rate as

at 1 January 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to thelease liability,

adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

On transition to IFRS 16, the Bank recognised right-to-use assets and lease liability on 1 January

2019. The impact of transition is summarised below:

1 January 2019

Right-to-use assets - other assets 1,57,01,00,382

Lease liabilities - other liabilities 1,46,22,23,430

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Bank

discounted leasepayments using its incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 1 January 2019.

(i) As a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Bank

allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative

stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the Company has elected not to separate

non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease

component.

The Bank recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the initial application date (for

contracts entered into before 1 January 2019) or commencement date (for contracts entered into a

fter 1 January 2019). The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial a

mount of the lease liability adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating

to that lease recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial

application, 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 initial

application date (for contracts entered into before 1 January 2019) or commencement date (for

contracts entered into after 1 January 2019) to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers

ownership of the underlying asset to the Bank by the end of the lease term or the cost of the

right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the

right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is 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 remeasurements of the

lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at

the initial application date (for contracts entered into before 1 January 2019) or commencement date

(for contracts entered into after 1 January 2019), discounted at the Bank's weighted average rate.

Generally, the Bank uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various

external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type

of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include fixed payments as per the

contracts.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured

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 Bank’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value

guarantee, if the Bank changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or

termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured 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.

Policy applicable before 1 January 2019

(i) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, the Bank determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

At inception or reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Bank separates payments

and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other

elements on the basis of their relative fair value. If the Bank concludes for a finance lease that it is

impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an

amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as

payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Bank's

incremental borrowing rate.

(ii) Leased assets

Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Bank substantially all of the risks and the

rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an

amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting

policy applicable to the asset.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Bank's

statement of financial position.

(iii) Lease payments

Payments made under operating lease are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the

term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease

expenses, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense

and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during

the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the

liability.

3.7 Borrowings from other banks, financial institutions and agents

Borrowings from other banks, financial institutions and agents includes interest-bearing

borrowings against securities from Bangladesh Bank and other banks and call borrowing from other

banks. These items are reported in the financial statements at the gross value of the outstanding

balance.

Details are shown in note 10.

3.8 Deposits and other accounts

Deposits and other accounts include non interest-bearing current deposits redeemable at call,

interest bearing on demand and short-term deposits, savings deposits and fixed deposits. These

items are reported in the financial statements at the gross value of the outstanding balance.

Details are shown in note 11.

3.9 Other liabilities

Other liabilities comprise items such as provision for loans and advances, provision for taxation,

interest payable, interest suspense, accrued expenses etc. Other liabilities are reported in

the balance sheet according to the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, Income Tax Ordinance

1984 and internal policy of the Bank.

Details are shown in note 12.

3.10 Fund deposited with Bangladesh Bank

This represents amounts deposited with Bangladesh Bank in foreign currency as a part of minimum

capital requirement.

According to subsection 3 of Section 13 of the Bank Company (amendment) Act, 2013 as amended by

BRPD Circular no. 18 dated 21 December 2014 and "Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy for

Banks (Basel III) as of December 2014" of Bangladesh Bank, all banks are required to deposit with

Bangladesh Bank the higher of Tk. 4,000 million and minimum capital requirement calculated as 10%

(2018: 10%) of risk weighted assets. In addition to minimum capital requirement, Capital Conservation

Buffer (CCB) is to be maintained in the form of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) at 0.625% per year from

2016 to 2019.

Details are shown in note 13.

3.11 Contingencies

3.11.1 Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is:

A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only

by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the

control of the Bank; or

A present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:

-it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle

the obligation; or

-the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements unless the

possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is reliably estimated.

3.11.2 Contingent assets

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be

confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not

wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other

unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the entity. An

example is a claim that an entity is pursuing through legal processes, where the outcome is uncertain.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the

recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually

certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate. A

contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

3.12 Revenue recognition

The Bank did not recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases for which the lease term

ends within 12months of the date of initial application.

3 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the

financialstatements except as mentioned in note 2.10.

3.1 Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the

operation at the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets, liabilities and fund deposited with Bangladesh Bank as capital denominated in

foreign currency at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the spot

exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

that are measured at fair value are retranslated into the functional currency at the spot exchange

rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are

measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate

at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss account

except for exchange rate differences on fund deposited with Bangladesh Bank as capital, which

is recognised directly in equity.

3.2 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in cash flow statement include notes and coins in hand, both restricted

andunrestricted balances held with Bangladesh Bank and its agent bank (including foreign

currency), balance withother banks and financial institutions, money at call and short notice, 91

days treasury bills, Bangladesh Bankbills, reverse repo and prize bond.

3.3 Investments

All investment securities are initially recognised at cost, including acquisition charges associated

with the investment. Premiums are amortised and discounts are accredited.

Held to maturity

Investments which have' fixed or determinable payments' and are intended to be held to maturity

are classified as'Held to Maturity'.Held for tradingInvestment classified in this category are acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in short trading or if designated as such by the management.

Revaluation

As per DOS Circular letter no. 05 dated 26 May 2008 and DOS circular no. 05 dated 28 January 2009, HFTsecurities are revalued each week using Marking to Market concept. Gains arising from revaluation of HFTsecurities on 'Marking to Market' basis are recognised in revaluation reserve account while losses fromrevaluation of the same securities are recognised in profit or loss.

Value of investments has been shown as under:

Government treasury bills and bonds (HFT) At market value (using marking to market concept)

Government treasury bills and bonds (HTM) At present value (using marking to market concept)

Prize bond At cost

Unquoted shares At cost or book value of the last audited balance sheet whicheveris lower

Details are shown in Note 6.

3.4 Loans and advances and provisions for loans and advances a) Loans and advances are stated in the balance sheet at gross value. Loans and advances are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. b) Provision for loans and advances is made on the basis of periodical review by the management

and as per instructions contained in Bangladesh Bank BRPD Circular No. 15 dated 27 September 2017, BRPD Circular No. 16 dated 18 November 2014, BRPD Circular No. 14 dated 23 September 2012, BRPD Circular No. 19 dated 27 December 2012 and BRPD Circular No. 5 dated 29 May 2013. The guidance in the circulars follow a formulaic approach whereby specified rates are applied to the various categories of loans as defined in the circulars. These circulars also provide scope for further provisioning based on qualitative judgments. The rates of provision for different classifications are given below:

Particulars Rates 2019 2018General provision on: All unclassified loans and advances except following: 1.00% 1.00%Small and medium enterprise financing 0.25% 0.25%Consumer financing 5.00% 5.00%Housing finance and loans for professionals to set up businessunder consumer financing scheme 2.00% 2.00%Loan to BHs/MBs/SDs against shares 2.00% 2.00%Agricultural loans 1.00% 1.00%

In accordance with BRPD Circular No.14 dated September 23, 2012, BRPD circular No. 05 dated 29May 2013 and BRPD Circular No. 16 dated 18 November 2014, the rate of provision on the outstanding amount of loans kept in the 'Special Mention Account' will be the same as the rates

stated above, i.e.0.25% against all unclassified loans of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME), 5% on the unclassified amount for Consumer Financing, 2% on the unclassified amount for Housing Finance, 1% on the unclassified amount for agricultural loans and 1% against all other unclassified loans.

Specific provision on:

Substandard and doubtful agricultural loans 5.00% 5.00%

Substandard loans and advances 20.00% 20.00%

Doubtful loans and advances 50.00% 50.00%

Bad/loss loans and advances 100.00% 100.00%

c) Loans and advances are written off in accordance with BRPD circular no. 02 dated 13 January

2003 andBRPD circular no. 13 dated 07 November 2013 to the extent that:

i) there is no realistic prospect of recovery, and

ii) against which legal cases are filed and classified as bad/loss as per guidelines of Bangladesh

Bank.

These write offs however will not undermine/affect the claim amount against the borrower.

Detailed memorandum records for all such write off accounts are maintained and followed up.

Write-off loans and advances are reported to the Credit Information Bureau (CIB) of Bangladesh

Bank. Details are shown in note 7.

3.5 Fixed assets and depreciation

Recognition and measurement

Items of fixed assets, excluding land, are measured at cost/revaluation less accumulated

depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land is measured at cost/revaluation.

Cost includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and bringing

to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the intended manner.

When parts of an item of fixed asset have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of fixed assets.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of fixed asset is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of that item, and is recognised in other income/other expenses in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of fixed assets is recognised in the carrying amount of

the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow

to the Bank and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is

derecognised. The costs of the day to day servicing of fixed assets are recognised in the profit and

loss account as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the estimated

useful life of each part of an item of fixed assets since this most closely reflects the expected pattern

of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Leased assets are depreciated

over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Bank

will obtain ownership by the end of the lease. In case of acquisition of fixed assets, depreciation is c

harged from the month of acquisition, whereas depreciation on disposed off fixed assets is charged

up to the month prior to the disposal. Asset category-wise depreciation rates are as follows:

Category of assets Rate of depreciation

Furniture and fixtures 10% - 33.33%

Equipment 10% - 33.33%

Motor vehicles 20%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date and

adjusted, if appropriate.

Retirement and disposals

An asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use

and subsequent disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an asset is

determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the

asset and is recognised as gain and loss from disposal of asset under "Other operating income"

in the profit and loss account.

3.6 Finance and operating leases

The Bank has applied IFRS 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the

comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC

4. The details ofaccounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately.

Policy applicable from 1 January 2019

At inception of a contract, the Bank 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to

control the use of an identified asset, the Bank uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.

Citibank, N.A. (Bangladesh Branches)

Financial Statements as at and forthe year ended 31 December 2019

3.12.1 Interest on loans and advancesIn terms of provisions of IFRS 15 on revenue and disclosures in the financial statements of the Bank, the interest receivable is recognised on an accrual basis.Interest on loans and advances is calculated on daily product basis and accrued at the end of each month but charged to customer accounts on quarterly basis.In accordance with BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, interest accrued on sub-standard (SS) and Doubtful (DF) loans are credited to "interest suspense account" included in "other liabilities" instead of income account. Interest from loans and advances ceases to be accrued when they are classified as Bad and loss category. As per the BRPD circular no. 03 dated 16 February 2016 and BRPD circular no. 6 dated 19 March 2015, the Bank is required to identify its good borrowers and to pay 10% rebate on the interest earned from them during the year. Interest income for loans and advances are recognized taking into account the amount of rebate allowed to the customers.3.12.2 Income from investmentInterest income on investments in government and other securities is recognised on accrual basis. Investment income includes interest income, capital gain, and revaluation loss on government securities. Investment income also includes dividend on investment in shares. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. This is the ex-dividend date for the equity securities.3.12.3 Fees and commission incomeThe Bank earns fees and commissions from a diverse range of services provided to its customers. Commission on Letter of Guarantee is recognised on accrual basis. Other fees and commission income is recognised on a realisation basis.3.12.4 Exchange IncomeExchange income includes all gains and losses from foreign currency transactions.3.13 Interest paid on borrowings and other deposits Interest paid on deposits and other accounts except fixed deposit is accrued on a monthly basis, but credited to customer account on half yearly basis. Interest on fixed deposit is accrued on a daily basis and credited to customer account on maturity of fixed deposit. Interest on borrowing from other banks is accrued on a daily basis and paid through Bangladesh Bank account on maturity.All other expenses are recognised on accrual basis.

3.14 Post Employment benefitThe retirement benefits accrued for the employees of the Bank as on reporting date have been accounted for in accordance to the provisions of International Accounting Standard (IAS-19: Employee Benefits).

3.14.1 Provident fundProvident fund scheme (defined contribution plan) is given to the eligible staff of the Bank in accordance with the rules of the locally registered provident fund constituted under an irrevocable trust. Payments to the provident fund are charged as expense in the profit and loss as they fall due.

3.14.2 Gratuity fundThe Bank operates a funded gratuity scheme duly approved by the National Board of Revenue. Under this scheme, the Bank’s obligation to the members of the scheme is to pay one month’s last drawn salary for each year of service on the termination of employment. Members who leave the Bank within the first five years of service are not entitled to any benefits under this scheme. The scheme is considered as a defined benefit plan as it meets the recognition criteria specified for this purpose. The fund is managed in accordance with rules of the locally registered fund constituted under an irrevocable trust.

Actuarial valuation of the gratuity scheme is done periodically to assess the adequacy of the liabilities provided for under the gratuity scheme as per IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19: Employee Benefits, the Bank’s net obligation in respect of its gratuity fund is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses that arise are recognised in equity and presented in the statement of Changes in Equity in the period they arise. Past service costs are recognised immediately to the extent that benefits are vested and are otherwise recognised over the average period until benefits are vested on a straight line basis.

3.15 Short-term employee benefitsShort-term employee benefits are employee benefits which fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service, including salaries, bonuses and other allowances.

3.16 Provisions and accrued expensesIn compliance with IAS 37, provisions and accrued expenses are recognised in the financial statements when the Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

3.17 Provisions for off balance sheet exposuresIn compliance with Bangladesh Bank guidelines, off balance sheet items are disclosed under contingent liabilities. As per BRPD Circular No.01 dated 03 January 2018 and BRPD Circular No.14 dated 23 September 2012, the Bank is required to maintain provision at 1% against gross off-balance sheet exposures (cash margin or value of eligible collateral will not be deducted while computing off-balance sheet exposure).Details are shown in note 12.2.

3.18 Provisions on balances with other banks and financial institutions (Nostro accounts)Provisions made for unsettled debit transactions for more than three months on nostro accounts are reviewed at each balance sheet date by management and certified by external auditors in accordance with Bangladesh Bank Foreign Exchange Policy Department, Circular No. FEOD (FEMO)/01/2005-677 dated 13 September 2005. Details are shown in note 12.

3.19 Provisions for other assetsBRPD Circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2001 requires a provision of 100% on other assets which are outstanding for one year and above.

3.20 Provision for taxation3.20.1 Income taxProvision for taxation has been calculated using tax rates as prescribed in the Income Tax Ordinance (ITO) 1984 and relevant Special Regulatory Orders (SROs) and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

3.20.2 Current taxCurrent tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of prior years.Provision for taxation for the year ended 31 December 2019 has been made on the basis of the provisions of the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 and the Finance Act 2019. Currently the income tax rate applicable for banks is 40%.

3.20.3 Deferred taxDeferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities against current tax assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.Deferred tax relating to unrealised surplus on revaluation of held for trading (HFT) securities are recognised directly in revaluation reserve as part of equity and is subsequently recognised in profit and loss account on maturity of the security and disposal of land and buildings.

Details are shown in note 12.4.2.

3.21 Impairment of non-financial assetsThe carrying amounts of the Bank's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its Cash Generating Unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU.Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs) and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

3.22 Reconciliation of inter-bank/inter-branch accountBooks of account with regard to inter-bank (in Bangladesh and outside Bangladesh) are reconciled and no material differences were found which may affect the financial statements significantly.

3.23 Core risk managementBRPD circulars no.17 dated 07 October 2003, BRPD circular no. 04 dated 05 March 2007 and DOS circular no. 2 dated 15 February 2012 require banks to put in place an effective risk management system. The risk management system of the Bank covers the following six broad risk areas: - Credit risk - Foreign exchange risk - Asset liability management risk - Money laundering risk - Internal control and compliance risk - Information and communication risk - Technology security risk

The prime objective of the risk management is that the Bank undertakes well calculated business risks to safeguard its capital, financial resources and growth of sustainable profitability. In this context, the Bank has formed a risk management committee to overview regular monitoring of those critical risk areas.

3.23.1 Credit riskCredit risk is one of the major risks faced by the Bank. This can be described as the situation when a borrower or counterparty of the Bank will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms and conditions. To assess and to mitigate the credit risk, the Bank has policies and procedures in place, which is considered an important tool for retaining the quality and performance of the assets. Accordingly, the Bank’s credit risk management functions have been designed to address all these issues including risks that arises from global changes in banking, finance and related issues.

The Bank has defined segregation of duties for all credit risk related activities like credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery functions.

3.23.2 Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk is defined as situation when change in earnings may happen due to unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates and the relevant currency position of the Bank. Treasury front office conducts deal for commercial purpose and back office of the treasury keep records and passes entries in books of accounts. As per Bangladesh Bank guidelines, the Treasury Department is operationally and physically divided into front office and back office to mitigate any risk. Separate telephone were installed in the dealing room to meet Bangladesh Bank guidelines. In addition, the Bank has also implemented strong monitoring and control by setting limits on approval of a deal, net open position, maximum loss per day/month and DV01, which are monitored on a regular basis.

3.23.3 Asset liability management riskChanges in market liquidity and/or interest rate exposes Bank's business to the risk of loss. The Bank has an Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) which is responsible for managing short-term and long-term liquidity to ensure that the Bank has adequate liquidity at all times and at the most appropriate funding cost. ALCO reviews liquidity requirements of the Bank, maturity of assets and liabilities, deposit and lending pricing strategy and the liquidity contingency plan. The Asset Liability Committee also monitors Balance Sheet risk, which is defined as potential changes in earnings due to changes in rate of interest and exchange rates which are not of trading nature.

3.23.4 Prevention of money laundering Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing have potentially devastating economic, security and social consequences. Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risk, the Bank has designated Country Compliance Officer and Anti Money Laundering Compliance Officer, who independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals for Prevention of Money Laundering have been established and transaction profiling is in place. Training has been continuously given to all the categories of Executives and Officers for developing awareness and skill for identifying suspicious transactions and other activities relating to money laundering.

3.23.5 Internal control and compliance riskThe internal control environment is the framework under which internal controls are developed, implemented and monitored. It consists of the mechanisms and arrangements that ensure internal and external risks to which the Bank is exposed are identified; appropriate and effective internal controls are developed and implemented to soundly and prudently manage these risks; reliable and comprehensive systems are to be put in place to appropriately monitor the effectiveness of these controls.The Bank being one of the largest global banks has established an appropriate and effective internal control environment to ensure that the Bank is managed and controlled in a sound and prudent manner. The factors which together comprise the control environment are: a. Management Committee (MANCOM) that is actively concerned with sound corporate governance and that understands and diligently discharges its responsibilities by ensuring that the Bank is appropriately and effectively managed and controlled; b. Business Unit managements are those actively manage and operate the Bank in a sound and prudent manner; and c. Control mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of the organizational and procedural controls

in place. An independent internal audit to engage a risk-based methodology in conducting periodic audits for the various businesses and functions in Bangladesh.

Three Lines of Defense: Citi relies on three lines of defense for the management of its risks and ensure effective control environment. These lines of defense are outlined in Global Operational Risk Management Policy which is summarised below.

First Line of Defense:The business owns its risks, including the operational, reputational, legal and financial risks and is responsible for its management. In order to mitigate these risks, the business is responsible for the design and operation of controls to reduce the likelihood of errors and lapses and to ensure ongoing compliance is embedded in all relevant decisions and operations.

Businesses will define the segmentation structure they will use for implementing their Program (i.e. O&T or Operations, Technology or ICG Operations and ICG Technology, etc.). The business may rely on Functional Specialists (for example O&T) to implement certain responsibilities under the Policy. These specialists operating within and/or across managed businesses are responsible for advising on, contributing to, executing, and/or overseeing key controls in support of efficient and effective management of risks.

Second Line of Defense:Citi’s Control Functions establish the second line of defense to enhance the effectiveness of controls across products, business lines and regions. Finance, Global Compliance, Human Resources, Legal, Risk, Finance & Risk Infrastructure, all own policies or processes that affect Citi’s control. Oversight is also established in respective functions to ensure controls are in place across all regions/countries.

Third Line of Defense: Internal Audit, in accordance with their charter, provides independent assessment and evaluation of the control environment.

The Bank has also assessed ICC Risk in accordance with guidelines issued by Bangladesh Bank and found those to be in line with the aforesaid framework being used at the Bank.

3.23.6 Information technology riskThe Bank has an in-house IT department for the support and services of IT systems locally, backed by a global IT support team to manage core group-wide IT systems and processes. The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is formulated to cover various operational risks including IT risk and consists of a recovery plan (i.e. backup and recovery process).

3.23.7 Audit committeeAccording to BRPD Circular No. 12 (23 December 2002), all banks are advised to constitute an audit committee comprising of member of the board. The audit committee will assist the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities including implementation of the objectives, strategies and overall business plan set by board for the effective functioning of the Bank. The committee will review the financial reporting process, the system of internal control and management of the financial risk, the audit process and the Bank’s process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and its own code of business conduct.The Bank, being a branch of a foreign bank, does not have a local board of directors from whom to select an Audit Committee but there is a Business Risk, Compliance and Control Committee (BRCC) where all risk issues are discussed, action points set to mitigate risks identified and documented. However, the Bank obtained formal dispensation from the Banking Regulation and Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank as regards to the formation of the committee as suggested in the BRPD Circular No 12 dated 23 December 2002.

3.24 OffsettingFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Bank has a legal right to set off the recognised amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRSs, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions such as in the Bank’s trading activity.

3.25 ComparativesFigures of previous year have been rearranged whenever considered necessary to conform to current year's presentation. IAS 8: Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors requires an entity to correct material prior period errors retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior period presented in which the error occurs. No connections of errors were made in the current period.

3.26 Operating segmentsThe Bank has no identified operating segment and as such presentation of segmental reporting is not made in the financial statements as per IFRS 8.

3.27 Events after the reporting periodAll material events after the reporting period are considered and where necessary, adjusted for or disclosed in accordance with IAS 10: Events after the reporting period.

3.28 Standard issued but not yet effectiveNumber of amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Bank has not early applied the following amendments to standard in preparing these financial statements.Also, the following amendments to standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements: - Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards - Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) - Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)

Financial Statements as at and forthe year ended 31 December 2019

Provision for current tax of has been made at 40% as prescribed by The Finance Act 2019 of the

accounting profit made by the Bank after considering some of the add backs to income and

disallowances of expenditure as per Income Tax Ordinance and Rules 1984 and in compliance with

paragraph 46 of IAS 12: Income Tax.

The tax authorities have audited the Bank’s tax returns for various accounting years whereby

they have demanded an additional amount of tax. The Bank has challenged this demand as it

In order to comply with the CRR and SLR requirements, the Bank considers the actual balances held with Bangladesh Bank according to their (Bangladesh Bank) books of accounts. However, when preparing the statutory accounts the Bank considers the actual balances held with Bangladesh Bank according to the Bank's books of accounts. This results in reconciling differences between the Bank's statutory accounts and CRR and SLR requirements.
