18. Chairperson ’s Message Our journey from inception amongst the tea plantations to being one of the top 1,000 banks in the world has been a story of shared prosperity, a legacy that continues to shape our corporate values and long-term strategy. 16 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
19. Dear Stakeholders , 2021 was a test of endurance and agility as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to disrupt lives and economic activity. While the rollout of vaccines paved the way for a return to work and schools, supply chain and macroeconomic stresses deepened creating divergent paths for recovery for industries and economies. Building resilience, balancing stakeholder needs and allocating resources were key priorities as the operating environment remained fluid. We were deeply saddened by the untimely demise of Mr. Nilanth De Silva, our former Chairman and two dedicated members of the Bank. Some of you would have lost your loved ones and friends due to COVID-19 and I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to everyone who has suffered during the pandemic. During the tumultuous year, our 5,042 colleagues around the country, led by our Managing Director/CEO Jonathan Alles and the Management Team have focused on protecting the interests of shareholders, while ensuring the wellbeing of colleagues, supporting our customers and showing solidarity with our communities. The resilient performance recorded by the HNB Group during 2021 is testimony to the people, structures, policies and processes of this 133-year-old institution that I am honoured to lead as Chairperson of the Board of Directors. It is with great pride that I have witnessed the commitment, determination, agility and drive of the people across our network as we weathered the challenges, working together to move forward with optimism. FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE A business model based on channeling domestic savings to productive sectors of the economy and facilitating trade and transaction banking are focus areas to drive profitability and sustainable growth. All this must deliver value to its key stakeholders, engaging them effectively to share prosperity and growth. Our journey from inception amongst the tea plantations to being one of the top 1,000 banks in the world has been a story of shared prosperity, a legacy that continues to shape our corporate values and long-term strategy. Customer deposits comprise 79% of our funding base and enhancing their value proposition has been a strategic priority for the Bank. By rallying resources and efforts around the key strategic pillar of Customer Experience, HNB has significantly enhanced its offering with the goal of making banking enjoyable for customers. The Net Promoter Score of 56% affirms that we moved beyond mere convenience in banking to deliver positive banking experiences. We were able to grow our advances by 14% and deposits by 11%. Total Dividend per share Rs 9.00 Total Market Capitalisation Rs 70 Bn 12% increase Group PAT Rs 20 Bn Shareholder funds account for 11% of funding and the HNB Group delivered 47% earnings growth to record Rs 20 Bn as profit after tax despite macroeconomic stress and uncertainty. The statistics presented below reflect our commitment to delivering sustainable returns to shareholders. In total, our shareholders received Rs 6.50 as cash dividends during the year while market capitalisation increased by 12% to Rs 70 Bn. The transformation within the Bank refined our business model, diversifying revenue streams and ensuring we stay ahead of the curve to compete effectively in the era of the digital consumer. We also streamlined our processes and improved turnaround times, enhancing capacity, scalability and operational efficiencies which will support future profitability, customer experience and growth. RISK & RESILIENCE Balancing the fine line between profitability and stability is both a science and an art that must consider the quantitative and qualitative impacts of potential threats, which then need to be stress-tested for the unknown.

20. Chairperson ’s Message risk management frameworks and processes supported by a prudent risk appetite, built resilience. De-risking the loan portfolio was a key area of focus as extended moratoria and continuing stressed conditions increased default risk. Cybersecurity was strengthened in view of increased digitalisation, remote working arrangements and external threat levels. Foreign exchange liquidity stress increased exponentially throughout the year as the Country’s foreign exchange reserves declined sharply. Increased regulation to address the issue continued to be a challenge for the industry in catering to customers’ requirements and curtailed trade flows. Capital adequacy ratios remain well above regulatory requirements at 14.53% for Tier I and 18.16% for total capital indicating sufficient headroom for growth and to sustain further shocks. ALIGNING PRIORITIES & RESOURCES The Banking industry is transforming to counter competitive threats from other industries which are making inroads into allied areas, leveraging technology. We continue to work in collaboration with Telcos and FinTechs to extend our reach and transform in the digital space. The Bank has continued to support impacted clients with debt moratoria and working capital funding whilst managing the impact on revenues and balance sheet. We are also living in a time of heightened uncertainties and social pressures that impact our clients encompassing all segments of society. Consequently, the allocation of resources to respond effectively to competitive threats, regulatory measures and stakeholder concerns will be a priority in the immediate term. HNB Group continues to invest in digitalisation, infrastructure, capacity building and our people. The digital transformation of the Bank has underpinned our transformation as a future ready bank. We are now focusing on strengthening our team to deliver on the capabilities put in place, nurturing talent and supporting their transition to a new era of banking. Collectively, these investments enhance our insights with sharper analytics, enabling continuous refinement, recalibration of strategic priorities and resource allocation in a dynamic operating environment. 18 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC Inclusive financing is vital to the economic progress of any community and an island wide footprint reflects HNB’s relevance and the role it plays in the Country. We are a large investor in the SME and Microentrepreneur segments of Sri Lanka, supporting their growth in line with their aspirations. HNB continues to invest in this sector leveraging a large field force, specialised knowledge, tailored products and capacity building initiatives, offering a comprehensive value proposition to tomorrow’s corporates. COMMITTED TO COMMUNITIES Inclusive financing is vital to the economic progress of any community and an island wide footprint reflects HNB’s relevance and the role it plays in the Country. We are a large investor in the SME and Microentrepreneur segments of Sri Lanka, supporting their growth in line with their aspirations. HNB continues to invest in this sector leveraging a large field force, specialised knowledge, tailored products and capacity building initiatives, offering a comprehensive value proposition to tomorrow’s corporates.

We are committed to investing in building relevant products and platforms to promote the growth of these two vital segments that are essential building blocks of communities.

We will also continue to invest in reducing our own carbon footprint in our journey to be carbon neutral. Admittedly, this is a journey, and we are at the stage of charting a suitable course for the Bank which will then be rolled out across the Group. GOVERNANCE MATTERS The Board was expanded to ensure that, collectively, we had the requisite skills and governance structure to navigate an increasingly volatile economic and changing business landscape. The composition of the Board changed with the resignations of Mr. Dinesh Weerakkody who served as Chairman until 30th March 2021, Mr. Harsha Cabraal who served as Acting Chairman until 5th July 2021, Mr. Duliksha Soosaipillai on 30th March 2021, and Mr. Rusi Captain who retired in April 2021 having completed nine years as a member of the Board. Mr. Osman Chandrawansa and I were appointed to the Board as NonExecutive Directors on 1st April 2021 and Mr. Saldin who previously served as alternate director to Mr. Rusi Captain was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. Mr. Nihal Jayawardene, joined the Board in August 2021 and I was appointed as Chairperson following the demise of Mr. Nilanth De Silva on 29th September 2021. We welcomed to the Board Mr. Rasitha Gunawardana and Mr. Kithsiri Gunawardena in January 2022 further enhancing the skills and experience of the Board. Heightened risk awareness across all three lines of defense, robust engagement with internal and external stakeholders combined with sharp analytics to enable early identification of potential threats would be key to driving sustainable performance. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the Chief Executive Officers of the HNB Group and our teams for rallying together to deliver a commendable performance amidst personal and work related challenges. The Board joins me in expressing our sincere appreciation of your commitment and loyalty and count on your support in the year ahead. I also wish to record our appreciation of the officials of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka for their advice and cooperation on regulatory matters. I conclude by thanking our customers, business partners and investors for the trust and confidence placed in HNB over the past year. Aruni Goonetilleke Chairperson Colombo, Sri Lanka 18th February 2022 NAVIGATING BEYOND 2021 Progress on vaccinations, launch of effective therapeutics and the reduced severity of the Omicron variant have given hope to a pandemic-weary world that COVID-19 is reaching endemicity. The lifting of travel restrictions in several countries point to the revival of the tourism industry. For HNB Group, reaping the dividends of our investments in digitalisation and our people will be a key differentiator as industry disruption continues. We have built resilience to face downside risks with adequate buffers but remain vigilant to potential shocks which may require recalibration of resource allocations. 19 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
22. Managing Director /CEO’s Message HNB has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Although our journey over the past 133 years has been through many peaks and troughs, we have continuously strengthened our risk management, compliance and governance, thereby enhancing our processes, which in the past year have helped us overcome the challenges and are testament to our stable performance. 20 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
23. To Our Shareholders , HERE, NOW Humanity faced the crisis of a generation. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to pummel the economy, taking its toll on lives and livelihoods. 2021 was a year in which we observed increased stress in the operating environment. Having barely recovered from the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attack, the prolonged pandemic has wreaked carnage on the local economy. Pressure built up with disruptions to economic activity, while the impact on tourism sector, sovereign downgrades and policy uncertainty placed Sri Lanka at a critical juncture. Against this backdrop, HNB has demonstrated remarkable resilience. Although our journey over the past 133 years has been through many peaks and troughs, we have continuously strengthened our risk management, compliance and governance, thereby enhancing our processes, which in the past year have helped us overcome the challenges and are testament to our stable performance. A FRAGILE RECOVERY Year 2021 saw a fragile economic recovery as the country and the world moved out of a recession wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. By the end of the year, it was apparent that global recovery was divergent as developing countries with high levels of debt were impacted by access to vaccines, dwindling foreign exchange reserves and limited policy options to support recovery. Sri Lanka is estimated to have grown by 4.0% in 2021 as per Central Bank of Sri Lanka, supported by a strong vaccination programme. We witnessed a sharp decline in interest rates in 2020, as central banks adopted accommodative monetary policy to support businesses and people through the pandemic. However, as the duration of the pandemic lengthened, many central banks including the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, commenced quantitative tightening in 2021. While policy rates moved up a mere 0.5% during 2021, a further 50 bps increase was witnessed in January 2022 indicating that there is head room for interest rates to move up further. Depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee was curtailed to 7.5% in 2021 through intervention as foreign currency reserves declined sharply with debt repayments coupled with low foreign currency inflows. This had a significant impact on foreign currency and the ability of the banking sector to support foreign trade. Moratoria, some of which have been extended from 2019, are scheduled to end in June 2022. A significant portion of the moratoria outstanding is in the tourism industry. Given that it is a major source of foreign exchange income for the country, we need strategies and policies that will enable tourism industry as well as other sustainable sources of foreign exchange income such as education, agriculture, healthcare, IT, KPO and BPO to thrive. LENDING COVID-19 SUPPORT We believe that as constructive members of society, banks have an integral role in supporting real people, real lives, real economies, and sharing the pain in a downturn. Amid the trying times, HNB was quick to provide cashflow support, lower the cost of lending, provide new kinds of lending to marginal borrowers, and help customers do their banking digitally. THINKING LIKE A STARTUP, IGNITING NEW AREAS OF GROWTH We partnered our stakeholders to make people and institutions financially resilient. In the past three years, we drove a strategy of helping SME and Microfinance customers - two of the most important but vulnerable sectors of the economy - get back on their feet. Significant support was provided in the form of moratoria, working capital finance and capacity building, with HNB entering into a partnership with USAID to strengthen the MSME sector through funding and technical assistance. Our partnerships with Telco operators and Fintechs have supported growth of our POS, mobile payment solutions and ecommerce. These partnerships have supported our customers transition to digital platforms, integrating them to an increasingly vibrant local digital market with exposure and opportunity to a global marketplace. During the year, HNB partnered with Cord360.com, the first ever digital marketplace to enable local exporters and manufacturers to engage with global supply chains, extending the work undertaken to support growth aspirations of local entrepreneurs. PERFORMANCE HNB Group recorded a profit after tax of Rs 20.1 Bn in 2021, an increase of 47% over the previous year. The moderate growth of 11% in NII of the Group to Rs 56.5 Bn is largely attributable to advances growth of 14% as interest rates remained well below 2020 levels until the policy rate hike in August. Fee based income increased by 27% to Rs 10.7 Bn as the Bank recorded healthy growth in trade flows while card revenues increased due to higher consumption levels. Impairment charges increased by 21.7% to Rs 19.5 Bn compared to the previous year, largely on account of the impact on the dollar denominated government securities portfolio with the sovereign downgrade to CC by Fitch Ratings. Operating Income increased by 17% to Rs 84.4 Bn as we maintained controls over rising costs due to the pandemic and inflation. The extension of retirement age to 60 years resulted in a reversal of Rs 2.3 Bn in provision for pension and retirement benefits, while other overheads were maintained below 2019’s pre-pandemic levels.

It is also important to look ahead with positivity and capitalise on the opportunities. The rapid vaccination drive is expected to minimise disruptions as a result of the pandemic and support increased economic activity. Our plans are aligned towards our country’s economic growth. We are encouraging entrepreneurs to export and have collaborated to create relevant products and platforms to empower them and connect them to markets. We have also strengthened our efforts to encourage Sri Lankans living overseas to place funds with us. The revival of business post moratorium has been a key concern and we reduced the affected portfolio considerably down to 9% of the total portfolio from over 40% at the beginning of the pandemic. Approximately 30% of the remaining portfolio on moratorium is related to tourism and we expect the sector to recover as more countries reduce travel restrictions to kickstart this vital industry. Retail banking will continue to thrive as we leverage our knowledge, reach and strong customer value proposition, to drive growth. SMEs and Microfinance portfolios will continue to expand and are expected to add significantly to our value proposition. The Wholesale Banking Group will continue to support priority sectors of the economy as we stay committed to playing a pivotal role in the economic resurgence of our Country. Our continuous focus on being future ready will support onboarding clients and growth in digital transactions, as we enhance our capabilities, solutions and platforms to provide a greater experience to our customers. We will also continue to enhance the stability and security of our systems and digital channels given the increased level of risks and threats with higher usage. Insurance is also on an encouraging growth trajectory and will be supported by a digital transformation which will drive customer experience and efficiency. Investment Banking has a strong pipeline as issuer interest increased with the vibrancy of the stock market and attractive valuations. HNB Finance will adopt an approach of cautious growth, and we will see the integration of Prime Finance as the NBFI sector goes through a consolidation amidst uncertain economic conditions. focus more on stakeholder capitalism and not just shareholder capitalism. At the same time, we must continue to invest in building digital capabilities, championing the sustainability agenda, and in finding new avenues of growth. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Staying on course in 2021 was possible only with the support, determination and commitment of the employees of the HNB Group and I thank everyone for pulling together in a difficult year. I commend the performance of the Group Chief Executives, Corporate Management and Heads of Departments for motivating and coaching their teams to deliver on the strategic goals. I thank the Board for their visionary guidance and counsel in charting our course and overcoming multiple challenges during the year. I wish to express my appreciation of the contribution over the years of late Mr. Nilanth De Silva who served on the Board and was appointed Chairman of the Bank in July 2021, shortly before his untimely demise in September 2021. We were also deeply saddened by the demise of two of our colleagues during the year who will be fondly remembered by the HATNA family. I thank our customers for entrusting HNB Group to support their financial aspirations and commit to continuous improvement of our services. Our business partners have enabled us to explore new dimensions in banking and we count on their capabilities to transform banking together. We are also appreciative of the cooperation extended by the Governor and officials of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. In closing, I thank our investors for their continued confidence in the HNB Group to deliver sustainable shareholder value. We will look back at 2021 as a seminal year and COVID-19 as a major inflection point. For one, the pandemic dramatically accelerated digital consumption demand. In addition, it has underlined the importance of the environmental, social and governance agenda. Issues around inequity, the rich-andpoor-divide and climate change will be on the minds of governments and people in the next five to 10 years.

26. Operating Landscape A MACRO PERSPECTIVE Global economies continued to recover from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 . IMF has estimated global growth at 5.9% in 2021 and forecasts moderation in growth to 4.4% in 2022 and 3.8% in 2023. Sri Lanka’s economic growth is estimated around 4.0% for 2021 by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. Economic prospects have diverged across regions with inflation, roll out of the country’s vaccines, the extent of policy support and supply chain disruptions emerging as the key factors driving the global economic recovery in this period. Most countries have experienced temporary price pressures due to supply-demand mismatches amidst the pandemic. Central banks commenced tightening monetary policy signalling the end of a period of extraordinary policy support.

27. SRI LANKAN ECONOMY Following the COVID-19 pandemic induced 3 .6% GDP contraction recorded in 2020, the Sri Lankan economy saw a strong rebound at the start of this year. This was supported by unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy stimulus measures which included debt relief for pandemichit sectors from the government. Businesses also embraced digitalisation to adapt to the post-pandemic environment supporting economic recovery. All subsectors of the economy recorded an impressive growth compared to the same period last year, admittedly from a low base. However, the re-emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and related preventive measures dampened the growth momentum to some extent during the second half of the year. The sovereign rating of the country was downgraded to Caa2 from Caa1 by Moody’s, amidst concerns that the country would not be able to meet its debt obligations. While Standard and Poor’s also followed suit, Fitch Ratings downgraded the sovereign by another notch to CC. The successful rolling out of the national COVID-19 vaccination programme and the government’s strategy to impose only selective mobility restrictions is expected to sustain the momentum of economic activity in the period ahead. However, the foreign currency liquidity crisis remains a critical issue as it has a significant impact on imports of fuel, essential goods and the country’s supply chains across all sectors.

Leading garment manufacturers quickly adopted to manufacturing and exporting personal protective equipment which also contributed to the export sector reaching prepandemic levels at a good pace. However, export growth slowed down since May 2021 with the onset of the third wave of the pandemic, recovering in the 4th quarter due to the continuation of stimulus policies and a more targeted vaccination drive allowing workers of key sectors such as the apparel sector to be vaccinated. To avoid an unfavourable balance of payments and foreign exchange reserve position, the government swiftly implemented import controls. Despite the import controls remaining in place in 2021, a rise in oil prices and a recovery in demand resulted in a considerable rise in the import bill. The trade deficit expanded to USD 7.0 Bn with the increase in expenditure on imports, compared to USD 5.4 Bn for the same period in 2020, leading to a widening of the external current account.

29. Earnings Profitability of the sector improved up to third quarter supported by improved interest income , fee income and efficiencies. A number of players reaped the benefits of investments in digitalisation which was a necessity in a pandemic era, taking the banking sector towards a digital era. Net Interest Income of the Banking Sector improved by 27.4% upto third quarter 2021 due to sound growth in assets. NIMs improved from 3.1% in 2020 to 3.4% by the close of the third quarter 2021 reflecting rise in interest rates and corrections in pricing of risk as market sentiments remained uncertain across a number of sectors. Non-Interest income also increased by 18.5% upto third quarter 2021 due to higher economic activity and foreign exchange income which increased by 59.2%. The Efficiency ratio improved from 51.8% in 2020 to 47.5% by third quarter 2021 supported by digitalizing of the sector and improved efficiencies as everyone adjusted to a socially distanced lifestyle. Impairments charges declined up to third quarter 2021 reflecting the improvement in economic activity and the measures taken by banks to manage asset quality. third quarter Profit Before and After Taxes of the Banking sector indicate favourable movements for the year which is reflected in the improvement of ROE from 11.4% in 2020 to 15.1% by third quarter 2021. Stability The banking sector continued to operate with adequate levels of capital, statutory liquid assets ratios and provision coverage ratios during the year. Despite the relaxation provided to drawdown the Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) by 100 basis points for Domestic Systematically Important Banks (D-SIBs) and 50 basis points for non-D-SIBs, the banking sector was primarily in compliance with the required Capital Adequacy Ratios without drawing down the CCB. Capital ratios are expected to improve with the retention of profits and raising of new capital to meet the increased minimum capital requirements. The banking sector operated with an adequate liquidity buffer above the minimum regulatory requirement of 20%.

30. Operating Landscape FUTURE OUTLOOK Uncertainty regarding forecasts for 2022 are elevated with the prevailing foreign currency situation , which could impact sustainable growth of economic activity. Risks to global growth outlined above would also be applicable to the country’s outlook. Sri Lanka, as a nation, holds immense potential in many sectors including exports, tourism, education, healthcare, IT, KPO, BPO etc. Growth in several export sectors in 2021 and the pickup in the tourism industry over the past few months has been encouraging. The relaxation of travel restrictions by several nations also augurs well for the tourism industry. We believe that sustainable solutions will be developed to revive the economy of Sri Lanka. OPPORTUNITIES FOR HNB GROUP Digital Dividends The Bank commenced its digital transformation nearly a decade ago and was ready for the mass digitalisation of the industry. Onboarding customers to digital platforms was accelerated with the onset of the pandemic. It is vital for the Group to capitalise on the strength of its digital infrastructure already in place and increase the onboarding of clients to enhance customer experience and make banking more convenient, supporting digital revenue growth and operational efficiencies. Grow Exports The Bank’s portfolio was weighted to importers and increasing restrictions on imports necessitated growth of the export portfolio urgently. Products such as Expo Credit provided a strategic advantage as well as the ISO certified trade finance department who were among the most knowledgeable professionals in the market. Combined with a comprehensive customer value proposition, 2021 was a year to grow the export portfolio and strengthening this vital sector would be a key focus going foward. Grow Renewable Energy Portfolio Increased focus on renewable energy to mitigate climate change and reduce the country’s reliance on imports of fossil fuels provided a lucrative opportunity for the Bank to formulate a strategy for climate action. Aside from reducing its own carbon footprint, the Bank has an opportunity to invest in renewable energy through its lending activities as well as through investments through Lanka Ventures PLC, its venture capital associate. Deposit & CASA Growth As the uncertainty about financial stability of institutions spilled over into 2021 and perhaps on to 2022, HNB had and has a strategic opportunity to grow its deposits and CASA as depositors favoured stability over returns. A 133 year heritage, a strong domestic franchise, 255 customer touchpoints and a portfolio of innovative digital products are key strengths to capitalise on this opportunity. Deeper Client Relationships & Group Synergies HNB’s innovative and future forward range of products and digital platforms support deeper customer relationships, extending the customer lifecycle. Strong customer satisfaction scores provide further impetus to reap the dividend that cross selling can bring. Bancassurance has been a key success area as well as Investment Banking and Custodian Banking. The Payments and Cash Management platform will be a focus area in 2022 Create the Next Gen Team The HATNA family is a tried and tested team that understands the corporate value well. We are now transforming this team to take banking to a new era with a multi faceted people transformation programme that encompasses creating the next generation of leaders, talent fitment to ensure people are happy doing what they do and to make banking enjoyable for our customers through positive interactions. CHALLENGES FOR HNB GROUP Foreign Currency Liquidity The country’s foreign currency crisis has constrained economic growth and stifled growth of trade finance income. The capacity of the Bank and the sector to support foreign trade flows would depend largely on how fast solutions are formulated to overcome the situation. Tightening Monetary Policy As monetary policy tightens and interest rates move up, the market dynamics can change and pose additional threats which include threats to increased default risk and moderating credit 28 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC growth. Strong risk management structures and asset and liability managements structures support management of various potential risk factors and we remain vigilant about developments in this regard. End of Moratoria Moratoria have been extended to customers since 2019, particularly those in the tourism sector, and these are scheduled to end in June 2022. The moratorium affected portfolio has been reduced from 40% of gross loans and advances to a mere 9 % as at end of 2021, with moratoria to the tourism sector being under 3% of the gross loans. While, credit risk processes have been strengthened, this systemic impact requires careful management and the Bank is working closely with its affected clients to ease the transition. Sovereign Rating Downgrade A sovereign rating downgrade could have a negative impact on the profitability of the Bank as additional impairment charges will have to be booked on account of investments in foreign currency denominated government securities.
31. Listening to Stakeholders Listening to stakeholders has been institutionalised and is critical to our strategic formulation and performance management processes . Dedicated functions for monitoring Customer Experience, Employee Experience and Investor Relations have been in place for a few years and have matured to provide reliable and timely information on their concerns.

Net Interest margins also improved from 4.3% to 4.4% supported by strong CASA growth and increase in interest rates with the increase in policy rates. Net Fee & Commission Income increased by 28.5% to Rs 10.3 Bn supported by increased transaction volumes in cards and trade, in comparison with 2020, which was a dull year for these two business segments. Net Other Operating Income was a key contributor to Non-Interest Income which was largely attributable to the position revaluations as the exchange rate depreciated by 7.5% in 2021. Net Insurance premiums increased by 19.5% to Rs 10.6 Bn as HNB Assurance, continued its steady growth trajectory as they completed two decades of business. Total Operating income increased by 17.1% to Rs 84.4 Bn supported by sound growth in NII complemented by increased Commission Income and Exchange Gains as economic activity picked up in 2021.

The Group made a total impairment of Rs 6.8 Bn on account of investments in dollar denominated government securities. The share of profits from joint ventures declined by 28.1% to Rs 292.8 Mn as the primary dealership arm performed exceptionally well in 2020 due to the reduction in interest rates. Taking in to account exposures to elevated risk industries and the impact on portfolios once the moratorium period ends, significant overlay was built in to the impairment charges on account of loans and advances in 2021 similar to 2020. Nevertheless, impairment charges for loans and advances declined 5.5% to Rs 12.4 Bn reflecting the reduction of loans under moratorium and the improvement in asset quality during the year. This was possible due to the focus and increased rigor placed on managing credit risk and recoveries. Group Taxation declined by 3% to Rs 7.7 Bn mainly due to the reduction in corporate tax rate to 24% and settlement of several assessments during the year resulting in the reversal of tax over provisions. Total Operating Expenses of the group increased by 7.3% with claims and benefits of the insurance group increasing by 21.4% compared to a subdued 2020. Although there were no staff outlays or salary cuts, personnel expenses declined by 2% YoY on account of a Rs 2.3 Bn reversal on provision for pension and retirement benefits in the Bank with the extension of retirement age to 60 years. Other overheads increased by 8.8% YoY however, this was still 3.9% less than pre-pandemic 2019 level, due to the drive on cost optimisation and operational efficiency. Net Operating income Accordingly, Group cost efficiency ratio improved from 48.3% in 2020 to 44.3% in 2021, while Bank cost to income ratio improved from 39.3% to 34.4%. If adjusted for the one off reversal in the pension fund, the cost to income ratios would be 37.9% and 47% for the Bank and the Group respectively. Profit After Tax improved by 47.0% at Group level to Rs 20.1 Bn driven by commendable performances of the Bank and the subsidiaries. Profit Attributable to Shareholders improved by 45% to Rs 19 Bn.

Group and Bank net loans and advances increased by 13.8% and 13.4% to Rs 911.3 Bn and Rs 876.3 Bn respectively in 2021. Accordingly, loans and advances portfolio accounted for 62.7% of Total Assets compared to 58.4% in 2020. Loan growth was funded largely by liquidating investments in GOSL securities which grew over the past couple years due to lackluster credit growth. Investment in sovereign bonds and Sri Lanka development bonds also reduced from15% of total assets to 12% with the maturities in 2021. Asset quality has remained a key focus for the HNB Group supporting a decrease in Stage 2 loans and advances by 24.7% while curtailing growth of Stage 3 to a mere 0.8%. These measures have enabled the Bank to manage NPA at 3.4% in 2021 compared to 4.3% in the previous year despite challenges within the economy. Accumulated impairment for the Bank increased across all three stages reflecting prudent provisioning while impairment cover against stage 3 loans improved from 48.4% in 2020 to 56.1%. Total assets increased by 5.1% and 6.0% to Rs 1,358.3 Bn and Rs 1,453.6 Bn respectively for the Bank and the Group reflecting prudent growth strategies.

Digital and online platforms were strengthened to enable more customers to carry out their banking transactions remotely. Meanwhile, key branches operated throughout the lockdown period and several mobile banking vehicles were operated across the country to support customers who did not have access to digital banking services.

63. MANAGING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint by incorporating sustainable business practices into all aspects of our operations . This commitment is inculcated into our organisational culture through the “Green Pledge”- a promise by every incoming HNB employee to integrate environmentally friendly practices into their daily activities at work and at home. We strive to achieve greater energy efficiency by the gradual solarisation of branches and by investing in energy efficient technology such as LED lighting, energy efficient lifts and invertor air-conditioning. We also closely monitor the usage of key materials such as paper, electronic equipment and computer equipment and strive to ensure responsible consumption and disposal of these materials. Recycling is practiced extensively with contracted third-party recyclers to ensure the safe disposal of e-waste. Whilst the paperless initiative which commenced in 2015 had made steady progress over the years, we experienced a negative impact during the year with total paper consumption increasing by 9 % due to the surge in documentation requirements of moratorium and restructuring of facilities offered to customers impacted by COVID-19. Monitoring and reporting on our performance against sustainability KPIs is an important part of managing our environmental footprint and is systematically done through the CEO’s sustainability dashboard. Progress on key E&S indicators such as carbon footprint, material usage and disposal, supply chain assessments and risks etc are monitored on a quarterly basis and reported to the HNB Sustainability Foundation every two months . A sustainability assurance audit (external) is conducted annually by DNV-GL. There were no instances of non-compliance with environmental laws and/or regulations during the year.

A ROBUST GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK Our Governance Framework promotes integrated thinking and decision-making that balances strategic outcomes over time, reconciling the interests of the Bank, stakeholders and society in creating and protecting sustainable shared value. Strong leadership, checks and balances at all levels, a clear organisational structure with welldefined lines of responsibility, effective risk management and controls and a value driven ethical culture, support robust governance structures that provide clear direction for quick and responsive decision-making and promotes responsible behaviour. As the overall custodian of good corporate governance, the Board is fully committed to realising the four Governance Framework outcomes of Sustainable Value Creation, Effective Control, Ethical Leadership and Accountability, as explained on pages 7 to 25 of the CG and RR Report, 2021.

They collectively set the risk appetite of the Bank, lead in formulating the Bank’s strategy, monitor the achievement of objective set and oversee the Bank’s governance frameworks and control environment. The Board has delegated specific oversight responsibilities that warrant greater attention, to ten (10) Board SubCommittees. Of these, five are mandated and are compliant with regulations. Daily management of the Bank and implementation of the Bank’s strategic plan has been delegated to the Executive Management lead by the Managing Director CORPORATE MANAGEMENT TEAM Compliance Committee Asset & Liability Management Committee Strategic Business Committee IT Steering Committee Operational Risk Steering Committee Information Security Committee HR Committee Executive Risk Management & Credit Policy Committee / Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO). Our Executive Management are empowered to take decisions within the defined framework. Their complementary skills and diverse experience strengthen the Bank’s ability to deliver on strategy. Roles and responsibilities are clearly clarified by mandates and job descriptions, through which authority and responsibility are effectively delegated. The segregation of roles and responsibilities of the Chairperson and MD/CEO supports balance of power. The MD/ CEO reports directly to the Board. Management is open and transparent with the Board and brings to attention any matters of concern in a timeous manner. Executive Directors and the Bank’s Key Management Personnel (KMP) attend Board meetings, increasing contact between the Board and Management. Regular reporting on key matters enables effective oversight by the Board. GOVERNANCE IN 2021 2021 continued to test the rigour, resilience, and agility of our governance structures as we sought to drive sustainable growth for the Bank in alignment with our Vision and Values, carefully balancing interests of our stakeholders. Clearly defined governance structures enabled the Board to maintain ongoing and effective oversight and leadership as the medium to long-term 85 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
88. Corporate Governance : Annual Report of the Board of Directors on the Affairs of the Company impacts of the pandemic unfold. The Board received regular updates supported by increased analysis and reporting on key issues affecting the Bank and its stakeholders. Compliance, Risk Management, Recoveries, and Internal Control remained key priorities. The Board, directly and through its subcommittees, considered actions to successfully face challenges, manage crisis and harness opportunities while recalibrating strategy, to protect and create value for the Bank and its stakeholders. In deliberating strategy, the Board adopted an integrated approach to value creation, embracing stakeholder inclusivity while considering the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impacts on the organisation. The Board considered Management updates on stakeholder engagement initiatives undertaken and through reports from Board sub-committees, as fully described in Stakeholder Expectations – page 29 in IR. The annual review of strategy for the year 2022, was conducted by the Board in November 2021, in consultation with the Corporate Management Team, and considered impacts of the pandemic, risk and opportunities in approving the Bank’s business plan and setting revised short, medium and long-term targets. THE BOARD As at 31st December 2021 Non-Executive Independent Directors Mrs. Aruni Goonetilleke Chairperson Mr. Amal Cabraal Mr. Devaka Cooray Mr. Madu Ratnayake Mr. Osman Chandrawansa Non- Executive Non- Independent Directors Mr. Damien Fernando Executive Directors Mr. Jonathan Alles Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer Mr. Dilshan Rodrigo Chief Operating Officer Alternate Director Dr. Prasad Samarasinghe Mr. Rimoe Saldin Mr. Nihal Jayawardene PC The Board is considered to be of appropriate balance and mix of skills and experience. The Boards’ diversity contributes to varied perspectives and objective evaluation of matters set before them. Non-Executive Directors are eminent professionals in their respective fields. Gender diversity improved with the appointment of Mrs. Aruni Goonetilleke to the Board in April 2021. Careful succession planning and deliberate processes ensure that the skills and experience of the Board remain relevant to the Bank’s needs. The Board adopts a Skills Matrix to support director recruitment and succession planning. Directors are appointed through a formal and transparent process, assessed for their independence and approved by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. The nomination of Directors 86 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC has been delegated to the Nomination Committee (NC), which recommends the appointment of new Directors for approval by the Board having reviewed the combined knowledge, experience and diversity of the Board in relation to the Bank’s strategic plans and any gaps thereof. During the year, four new Directors were appointed to the Board to fill vacancies that arose in 2021. The NC spent a considerable amount of time in identifying the most suitable candidates, to build the right team to steer the Bank into the future. New Board members participate in an induction programme aimed at providing them with the information and support needed to be effective. Directors continue to keep abreast of changes in regulations and the business environment by attending seminars, workshops, conferences and formal training programmes to build their capability to guide the Bank through key challenges. The meeting agenda and papers are made available to the Directors generally seven days before the meeting and minutes of the preceding meeting circulated two weeks before the subsequent Board Meeting, allowing members sufficient time to review them, make their observations and be prepared for the forthcoming meeting. The Chairperson sets the Board agenda, assisted by the Company Secretary. Care is taken to ensure that the Board spends sufficient time considering matters critical to the Bank’s success, as well as compliance, risk and administrative matters.

Each member of the Board carries out a self-assessment of his effectiveness as an individual as well as the effectiveness of the Board as a whole. The 2021 appraisal was held in January 2022. The outcome of the appraisal indicated that the performance of the Board met expectations. Areas identified for improvement were communicated to the Board. Directors Interests and Related Party Transactions The Board is committed to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct. Directors declare their outside business interests on appointment and quarterly thereafter, details of which are recorded in the Directors’ Interests Register, and available for inspection in terms of the Companies Act. Directors have no direct or indirect interest in a contract or a proposed contract with the Bank other than those disclosed on page 114 to 117 in IR. The Related Party Transactions Review Committee considers all transactions that require approval in line with the Bank’s Related Party Transactions Policy and in compliance with the relevant regulations of CSE and Central Bank of Sri Lanka, ensuring transactions are fair and in the best interests of the Bank. Related party transactions are disclosed in Note 60 to the financial statements in IR page 318. 87 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
90. Corporate Governance : Annual Report of the Board of Directors on the Affairs of the Company Independence The independence of Non-Executive Directors is reviewed on an annual basis as part of the Directors’ evaluation process. When the Board considers any matters in which a conflict is manifestly evident, Directors withdraw from participating in the meeting and recuse themselves from the particular deliberation and decision. Compliance During the year, the Bank met urgent and rapidly evolving regulatory requirements as the operating environment continued to be increasingly volatile. The Bank remained extra vigilant, expanding the scope and rigour of processes to mitigate emerging threats and ensure compliance. Continued investments in new systems, platforms and processes including the use of advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence solutions and establishment of a Compliance Audit team, strengthened the compliance function and improved efficacy in prevention, detection, and reporting. The Bank is compliant with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, including the Listing Rules of the CSE and directions issued by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. The Board is also guided in the conduct of business by the Bank’s policies, values, standards and Code of Conduct & Ethics. The Compliance Officer who reports to the Board Integrated Risk Management Committee, tables a report on compliance at the quarterly meetings of the Committee and where necessary, such non-compliant issues are escalated to the Board for necessary action. 88 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC The Board comprises five (5) Independent Non-Executive Directors, in compliance with regulatory requirements. However, the Bank remained non-compliant with this provision for a period of forty-three (43) days, following the sudden demise of Mr Nilanth De Silva, Independent Non-Executive Director on 29th September 2021 and until 11th November 2021. The number of Independent Directors on the Bank’s Board fell to three, being less than one third of the total number of Directors. Subsequent to appropriate action being taken by Mrs Aruni Goonetilleke and Mr Amal Cabraal, the Board deemed them “Independent” based on the criteria specified in the Banking Act Direction No.11 of 2007. Consequently, the nature of the directorships of Mrs Goonetilleke and Mr Cabraal were amended to Independent/Non-Executive from Non-Independent/Non-Executive with effect from 12th November 2021 and 16th November 2021, respectively. Risk Governance & Internal Control The Board is responsible for formulating and implementing effective risk management and internal control systems to safeguard shareholder interests and the assets of the Bank, in meeting strategic objectives. These systems cover all controls, including financial, operational and compliance and are monitored and regularly reviewed for effectiveness by the Board. The systems are governed by mandated board and management committees with appropriate expertise and resources and are compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements. The overall risk profile of the Bank increased in the period under review, as the pandemic continued to weigh heavily on the economy and society. In response, the Bank enhanced its risk management capabilities to mitigate exposure as described in the Risk Review on pages 118 to 124. Innovation and Technology Governance The Board is cognizant of the benefits of agility, scalability, and innovation that digital platforms provide. Directors ensure implementation of an effective and properly resourced digital technology strategy that delivers exceptional client and employee experiences and is aligned to the Bank’s overall business strategy. The Board is equally committed to safeguarding the Bank’s information assets and operational systems. Information and Cyber Security risk remains inherently high as a result of the increase in volumes of digital transactions and remote working vulnerabilities amid the pandemic. During the year, governance structures were strengthened, and surveillance and monitoring tools enhanced to meet the Bank’s information and cyber security requirements. Group Corporate Governance The Board seeks to establish a common standard of corporate governance across group subsidiaries. Policies and procedures are aligned to that of the Bank and yet shaped to meet the intrinsic business structure and risks of each entity.

The key processes that have been established in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal controls include the following: The Board of Directors (‘Board’) is responsible for the adequacy and effectiveness of Hatton National Bank PLC’s (‘the Bank’) system of internal controls. It is designed to manage the Bank’s key areas of risk within an acceptable risk profile and does not eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the business objectives and policies of the Bank. Accordingly, the system of internal controls can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement of management and financial information and records against financial losses or fraud. The Board has established an on-going process for identifying, evaluating, and managing the significant risks faced by the Bank and this process includes enhancing the system of internal controls as and when there are changes to the business environment or regulatory guidelines. The process is regularly reviewed by the Board in accordance with the guidance for Directors of Banks on the Directors’ Statement on Internal Control issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka). As per the said guidance, processes affecting significant accounts of the Bank were assessed along with the key risk areas. The management assists the Board in the implementation of the Board’s policies and procedures on risk and control by identifying and assessing the risks faced by the Bank, and in the design, operation, and monitoring of suitable internal controls to mitigate and control these risks. The Board is of the view that the system of internal controls in place is sound and robust to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting, and that the preparation of financial statements for external purposes is in accordance with relevant accounting principles and regulatory requirements. The Board Sub Committees are established to assist the Board in ensuring: » the effectiveness of the Bank’s daily operations. » that the Bank’s operations are in accordance with the Bank’s declared objectives and strategies. » that the operations of the Bank are in line with the annual budget as well as the policies and business directions that have been approved by the Board. Internal Audit Division of the Bank checks for compliance with policies and procedures and the effectiveness of the internal control systems and highlights significant findings in respect of any non-compliance. Audits are carried out on majority of units and branches, the frequency of which is determined by the level of risk assessed by the internal audit, to provide an independent and objective report on operational and management activities of these units and branches. The annual audit plan is reviewed and approved by the Board Audit Committee and the findings of the audits are submitted to the Board Audit Committee for review at their periodic meetings. The Board Audit Committee of the Bank approves the annual audit plan, reviews internal control issues identified by the Internal Audit Division, the external auditors, regulatory authorities and management; and evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems. They also review the internal audit function with particular emphasis on the scope of audits and quality of same. The minutes of the Board Audit Committee meetings are tabled for the information of the Board on a periodic basis. Further details of the activities undertaken by the Board Audit Committee of the Bank are set out in the Board Audit Committee Report on page 106 to 108 in IR. The Board Integrated Risk Management Committee (BIRMC) is established to assist the Board to oversee the overall management of principal areas of risk of the Bank. The Executive Risk Management Committee which includes representation from all key business and operating units of the Bank, assists the Board with the implementation of policies advocated at BIRMC. Operational committees have also been established with appropriate empowerment to ensure effective management and supervision of the Bank’s core areas of business operations. These committees include the Human Resource Management Committee, Assets and Liability Committee, the Information Technology Steering Committee, Executive Risk Management and Credit Policy Committee and the Operational Risk Steering Committee. In assessing the internal control system over financial reporting, identified officers of the Bank collated all procedures and controls that are connected with significant accounts and disclosures of the financial statements of the Bank. These, in turn, were observed and checked by the Internal Audit Division for suitability of design and effectiveness on an on-going basis. This assessment did not include Subsidiaries of the Bank. The Bank adopted SLFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments” in 2018 which became applicable for financial reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018. The Bank continued to refine the statistical models used in the computations of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) and the data extraction procedures pertaining to the calculations performed in respect of SLFRS 9. Since adoption of this standard, progressive improvements on processes to comply with new requirements of classification, estimation of expected credit losses and disclosures were made whilst, further strengthening of processes continued to support the estimation of expected credit loss and financial statement disclosures. The existing models were further refined this year to validate the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions, incorporate the potential implications of COVID 19 Pandemic and the extended moratorium schemes introduced to support the recovery of the economy, based on stress testing the exposures to risk elevated sectors and adjustments made to economic factors. Considering the complexity involved in the computation of ECL from Loans and 111 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Sri Lanka Standard on Assurance Engagements SLSAE 3050 – Assurance Report for Banks on Directors’ Statement on Internal Control issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka. Summary of work performed Our engagement has been conducted to assess whether the Statement is both supported by the documentation prepared by or for Directors and appropriately reflects the process the Directors have adopted in reviewing the system of internal control for the Bank. To achieve this objective, appropriate evidence has been obtained by performing the following procedures: (a) Enquired the Directors to obtain an understanding of the process defined by the Board of Directors for their review of the design and effectiveness of internal control and compared their understanding to the Statement made by the Directors in the Annual Report.

SLSAE 3050 does not require us to consider whether the Statement covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s risk and control procedures. SLSAE 3050 also does not require us to consider whether the processes described to deal with material internal control aspects of any significant problems disclosed in the Annual Report will, in fact, remedy the problems. Our conclusion Based on the procedures performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Statement included on pages 111 to 112 of this annual report is inconsistent with our understanding of the process the Board of Directors have adopted in the review of the design and effectiveness of internal control system over the financial reporting of the Bank. (e) Attended meetings of the Audit Committee at which the Annual Report, including the Statement on Internal Control is considered and approved for submission to the Board of Directors.

120. Risk Review 2021 The Bank continued to strengthen its risk management capabilities while refining the effectiveness of initiatives implemented in 2020 in response to elevated risks . Initiatives to strengthen the first line of defence through high levels of risk awareness gathered momentum in 2021 with activation of online training modules which enabled increased coverage and self paced learning. The prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in elevated risk levels across the countries, businesses sectors and increased the vulnerability of entities and people. The quantitative easing measures adopted by countries across the world played a key role in containing corporate bankruptcies and maintaining financial stability across markets. Countries have experienced divergent economic recovery paths with advanced economies reflecting more resilience than the emerging market economies as access to vaccines, inflationary pressures and balance of payment deficits exacerbated vulnerabilities. A significant number of emerging market economies, including Sri Lanka, increased policy rates during the second half of 2021 as headroom for maintaining the accommodative policies diminished. It is also important to note the increase in crypto currency assets which surpassed US$ 2 Trillion recording a 10-fold increase since the beginning of 2020, adding another dimension of risk to global financial markets due to its unregulated nature. financial transactions increased significantly due to the prolonged pandemic elevating operational risks and cyber threats. Increased focus on prudent financial management coupled with low interest rates and tax rates supported the recovery of a number of businesses in sectors which were not adversely affected by COVID-19. However, overall recovery remains fragile with risks tilted to the downside. Work from home arrangements became an established norm for a number of roles as organisations focused on creating safe work environments for employees while in other areas challenges remained as physical presence was a necessity requiring formation of bubbles and additional precautions to manage the contagion. Digitalisation of In summary, as noted by the IMF in its October 2021 World Economic Outlook report, global recovery continues but momentum has weakened and uncertainty has increased as the pandemic resurges. Additionally, policy options have become more difficult with limited choices. Overall, corporate earnings increased and stock exchanges across the world recorded growth in market capitalisation as well as the amount of capital raised through IPOs. Supply chain disruptions including port congestion were key concerns for manufacturers and retailers alike during the year, exacerbated locally by wide-ranging import restrictions. Climate action remains a key concern as we witnessed significant climate events across the globe which contributed to supply chain woes and increased regulation over climate disclosures across geographies as well as investor actions. Refer the Governance & Risk Report, for a more detailed review of how the Bank manages risk and capital. 118 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC MAJOR RISK MANAGEMENT ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2021 » Recorded the lowest Non-Performing Ratio among peers » Staff were supported on all health and safety matters thereby ensuring over 98% of the staff are fully vaccinated » Operational losses were an all-time low due to strengthened Operational Risk practices » The Bank was not exposed to any Cyber breaches during the year
121. SOCIETAL EXPECTATIONS POLICY UNCERTAINTY Banks and financial Institutions are expected to play a key role in facilitating the post COVID-19 economic recovery of the country by providing essential financial relief to their customers across industries and geographies . Meanwhile with the rapid growth in digital platforms for banking services, higher customer expectations on convenience, reliability, availability and security are inevitable. Recalibration of socioeconomic policies gave rise to a slew of policy measures to curtail imports, inflation and interest rates and support systemic financial stability. TECHNOLOGY & CYBERSECURITY HEALTH & SAFETY Having in place the infrastructure and processes to implement health and safety protocols such as social distancing, tele-working arrangements are becoming a critical necessity as the country gradually opens up and adapts to the new normal post COVID-19. MONETARY POLICY Governments are assessing the accommodative monetary policies implemented to support economic recovery with a view of gradually tightening of monetary policy, including ending moratoria and higher interest rates which will impact people and businesses and countries in 2022. CLIMATE CHANGE Although Sri Lanka has been fortunate in 2021, natural disasters and climate change impacts can exacerbate our woes with supply side shocks, straining already stretched reserves. A GLOBAL PANDEMIC Recurring waves of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2021 continued to strain health care systems and economies around the world, with emerging economies in particular continuing to face the economic repercussions of capital outflows, business lockdowns and a breakdown on key industries such as tourism. Technology paved the way for customers to transition to digital platforms as society sought to minimise contact. Cyber threats escalated due to increased volumes of digital transactions and remain a concern, globally. PEOPLE & BEHAVIOURS Behaviours of customers and staff continue to evolve in response to the unprecedented pressures brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Working from home, performance pressures, customer behaviours, pandemic related fears and financial stress have all combined to bring about increased and complex challenges for our customers and staff. FOREIGN CURRENCY LIQUIDITY The Central Bank of Sri Lanka introduced several regulations for Banks including the suspension of purchase of Sri Lanka International Sovereign Bonds, restrictions on entering into forward contracts of foreign exchange, revoking of short term foreign currency borrowing limits and the imposition of maximum interest rates on foreign currency deposits. These capital controls together with import restrictions and exchange controls have had a significant impact on the foreign currency operations of the banking sector. 119 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
122. Risk Review 2021 The HNB Board and BIRMC maintained high levels of oversight , closely monitoring the risk profile of the Bank and review the effectiveness of its systems, processes and tools. The Bank continued to strengthen its risk management capabilities while refining the effectiveness of initiatives implemented in 2020 in response to elevated risks. Initiatives to strengthen the first line of defence through high levels of risk awareness gathered momentum in 2021 with activation of online training modules which enabled increased coverage and self paced learning. While licensed commercial banks have strengthened their capital adequacy, the strain on the advanced portfolio is evident in the increased Gross Non-performing Advances Ratio. The conservative approach adopted by the sector to navigate through the uncertainties is evinced by the higher liquid assets ratios and lower credit to deposits ratio. Efficiency ratios indicate the extent of business disruptions and the impact of import restrictions. NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY COVID-19 added a new dimension to risk and the Bank established a COVID -19 Task Force to monitor developments and formulate coordinated responses across all aspects as deemed necessary. Health and safety risks remained elevated for most of 2021, necessitating closures of branches at times as the country experienced over 10 weeks of lockdown during the year. The Bank has now achieved a 98% coverage of employees who are double vaccinated reducing risks and continue to follow protocols set in place for social distancing. Licensed Commercial Banks Industry Indicators We worked proactively with customers to support in their business revival through positive cashflow management and to the effective transition and use of digital platforms for transactions. Adversely affected sectors continue to be supported with extended moratoria in accordance with CBSL guidelines. Dollar liquidity issues posed a significant challenge to customers and the Bank during the year necessitating careful management of foreign exchange portfolios. Cyber risk remained a key area of concern and increased safeguards against cyber attacks and hacking, upgrading of business continuity plans (BCP) and the IT infrastructure of the Bank supported the management of these risks. The appointment of a CISO has strengthened the Bank’s IT governance and a greater focus on cyber threat management. We continued to strengthen and harmonise risk management in Group companies. Quarterly submissions are reviewed by Group Risk and BIRMC to assess potential impacts at entity level and Group level. Particular areas of focus included management of credit risk, cyber risks and liquidity risk. RISK GOVERNANCE Ultimate responsibility for risk management lies with the Board of Directors who are assisted by the mandatory Board Integrated Risk Management Committee (BIRMC). CBSL Directions set out the duties of the BIRMC and the Bank supplements these where necessary to ensure that the rigour of oversight is aligned to the Bank’s risk appetite which is approved by the Board.

Executive Committees comprising the CEO, CRO and other Key Management Personnel strengthen the first line of defence, fostering high levels of risk awareness throughout the Bank through vigilant risk monitoring and other related initiatives. The Bank’s risk management framework comprises a suite of Risk Management Policies and the Risk Appetite Statement supported by an organization structure based on the three lines of defence model.
123. RISK CULTURE The risk culture of the Bank is shaped by a comprehensive Risk Management Policy Framework and robust corporate and risk governance . High levels of risk awareness is key to the financial stability of the Bank and supports business line growth strategies. A culture of risk awareness and compliance is nurtured both within the Bank and across all entities in the Group through regular training of employees as an integral part of the training calendar. Employees in specialised roles are required to gain specified levels of skills and experience relevant to their roles which encompass a thorough understanding of the risks relevant to these roles. This is vital to strengthen the first line of defence, facilitating process efficiencies and overall resilience of the Bank. Despite challenges in rolling out the training as planned in 2020, we have continued to reinforce risk awareness through increased rigour of processes, analytics and feedback. The Risk Management Department serves as the 2nd line of defence, implementing the Bank’s Risk Management Framework and policies. Internal audit functions as the 3rd line defence, reviewing the effective functioning of internal controls set in place and providing feedback independently to the Board Audit Committee.

Thus the Risk Appetite Statement serves to establish boundaries to form integrated and robust links between strategy, target setting and risk management process.

Strategic Risk is being addressed through Project Everest and the digitization of the Bank with significant headway made on both despite the challenges in 2021. Information and Cyber risk threats escalated since 2020 affirming our decision to segregate this key risk from other operational risks in 2020. Operational Risk is managed through sound governance, robust internal controls, dedicated compliance and legal functions and sound financial reporting processes.

126. Risk Review 2021 Loan book grew by 14 % and deposits growth also increased to 11%. Deposits of Rs 1,075Bn account for 89% of Total Liabilities. Bank liquidity indicators improved in line with industry as depicted in the Liquidity Indicators graph above. Key risks impacting our operations are summarised below as viewed through a prudent lens: Risk Assessment Trend Rationale/Description External Economic growth and trade cycles High While countries are recording economic growth, uncertainties remain elevated with risks tilted to the downside. While IMF forecasts global economic growth of 5.9 for 2021 and 4.9 for 2022, significant downside risks remain. Sri Lanka’s growth is forecast at 4% for 2022 by CBSL. However, the country’s debt repayment challenges, declining foreign exchange reserves, inflationary pressures and uncertainties on the tourism sector point to continued economic challenges for 2022. Fiscal and monetary policy Moderate The need to manage health, humanitarian and economic concerns continues to exacerbate challenges for policy makers. Accordingly, we expect the policy environment to remain dynamic in 2022 as well,. Regulation Moderate Regulation is likely to focus on the need to maintain financial stability in a recessionary environment in contrast to the focus on the evolution of the industry. Cyber threats High Cyber threats have increased due to increasing volumes of digital transactions and HNB continues to increase its vigilance in order to manage this rapidly evolving threat. Credit Risk Moderate While recoveries were strengthened, extensive moratoria were also extended to customers during the year through CBSL funded schemes and the Bank’s own COVID fund. These moratoria which were originally scheduled to end in September 2020 have now been extended until June 2022 and may prove a drag on credit risk through 2022. People & Operational Risk Moderate Operational risk remains elevated despite strengthening of operational risk management frameworks and high levels of staff vaccinations due to socioeconomic stresses and innate people factors. High levels of operational risk awareness and a focus on building a culture of compliance , including continuous on the job training and improvements in effectiveness of internal controls are key mitigants. Liquidity Risk Moderate Liquidity indicators are well above the regulatory requirements and the Bank’s risk appetite. Additionally, market liquidity has been comfortable due to lower credit demand. Internal The Bank has steered a steady course, shoring up its capital and liquidity while remaining active in supporting access to finance for large corporates, SME, microfinance and retail banking segments. We have remained responsive to stakeholder concerns, carefully balancing priorities as we navigate through a challenging economic landscape. The rigour of Board and BIRMC oversight coupled with enhanced capabilities of the Risk Management Team has supported strengthening of the Bank’s risk profile which remains comfortably above regulatory requirements. We expect 2022 to remain challenging with business disruptions, policy challenges and potential changes in capital flows. The moratoria scheduled to end will pose challenges for some customers and we expect credit risk to remain elevated until there are clear signs of sustainable recovery. Cyber threats are likely to remain at elevated levels too as the volume and value of transactions on 124 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC digital platforms continues to grow. Continued business disruptions and socioeconomic stresses are likely to exacerbate operational risk threat levels. Market risk factors are also expected to be volatile as policy makers recalibrate responses to emerging threats and tighten monetary to manage the countries economic challenges. A strong risk governance framework, culture, policies, systems and processes support Risk and Capital Management at the Bank, strengthening resilience as evinced by our rating and key stability indicators. Continued investments in risk management tools have enhanced insights and enabled early detection of threats. The Bank will continue to be vigilant while strengthening the rigour of processes to manage the uncertainties in the year ahead.

The significant accounting policies and estimates that involved a high degree of judgment and complexity were discussed with the Board Audit Committee and external auditors. The Board of Directors and the management of the Bank accept responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements. The estimates and judgments relating to the financial statements were made on a prudent and reasonable basis in order that the financial statements reflect a true and fair view, the form and substance of transactions and the Bank’s state of affairs are reasonably presented. To ensure this, the Bank has taken proper and sufficient care in installing a system of internal control and accounting records, for safeguarding assets and for preventing and detecting frauds as well as other irregularities, which are reviewed, evaluated and updated on an on going basis.

132. Independent Auditor ’s Report TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC Basis for Opinion REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We conducted our audit in accordance with Sri Lanka Auditing Standards (SLAuSs). 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 Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by CA Sri Lanka (“Code of Ethics”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Hatton National Bank PLC (“the Bank”) and the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31st December 2021, and the income statement, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies as set out on pages 136 to 330 of this Annual Report. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Bank and the Group give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank and the Group as at 31st December 2021, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Bank’s financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Bank’s financial statements and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Allowances for Expected Credit Losses Refer to Note 2.2 (Accounting Judgement, Estimates and Assumptions), Note 15 (Impairment charge for loans and other losses ) and Note 31 (Financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers), to these financial statements Risk Description Our Responses As disclosed in Note 31 & 15 to these financial statements, the Bank and the Group has recorded financial assets measured at amortised cost against loans and advances to customers, of Rs 928,972 Mn and Rs 968,907 Mn respectively as at 31st December 2021. High degree of complexity and judgment are involved in estimating Expected Credit Loss (ECL) ( Bank Rs 52,717 Mn; Group Rs 57,654 Mn) as at the reporting date. Our audit procedures to assess the allowances for ECL included the following: Allowance for expected credit losses is a key audit matter due to the significance of the loans and receivables balance to the financial statements and the inherent complexity of the Bank and Group’s ECL models used to measure ECL allowances. These models are reliant on data and a number of estimates including the impact of multiple economic scenarios and other assumptions such as defining a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). Selecting a sample (based on quantitative thresholds) of larger customers where impairment indicators have been identified by management and assessed as higher risk or impaired, and a sample of other loans, focusing on larger exposures assessed by the Bank and Group as showing signs of deterioration, or in areas of emerging risk (assessed against external market conditions and in particular considering the impacts of COVID-19). 130 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC Testing key controls of the Bank and Group in relation to: • Reconciliation of the data used in the ECL calculation process to gross balances recorded within the general ledger as well as source systems; • IT system controls which record loans days past due, and non-performing loan classification. Assessing impairment for individually significant customers Obtaining management’s assessment of the recoverability of these exposures (including individual impairment calculations) and assessed whether individual impairment provisions, or lack of, were appropriate.
133. SLFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires the Group to measure ECLs on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of economic conditions . Post-model adjustments are made by the Bank and Group to address known ECL model limitations or emerging trends in the loan portfolios. We exercise significant judgements when evaluating the economic scenarios used and the judgmental post model adjustments the Bank and Group applies to the ECL results. The Bank and Group’s criteria selected to identify a SICR are key areas of judgement within the Bank and Group’s ECL methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 12 month or lifetime allowance is recorded. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that assumptions regarding the economic outlook are more uncertain which, combined with varying government responses, increases the level of judgement required by the Bank and Group in calculating the ECL, and the associated audit risk. Additionally, allowances for individually significant loans exceeding specific thresholds are individually assessed by the Bank. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the assessment of specific allowances based on the expected future cash repayments and estimated proceeds from the value of the collateral held by the Bank and Group in respect of the loans. The disclosures regarding the Group’s application of SLFRS 9 are key to explaining the key judgements and material inputs to the SLFRS 9 ECL results. This included the following procedures • Evaluating management’s assessment of recoverability of the forecasted cash flows by comparing them to the historical performance of the customers, their financial position and the expected future performance where applicable; • Assessing external collateral valuer’s credentials and comparing external valuations to values used in management’s impairment assessments; • Exercising our judgment, our procedures included using our understanding of relevant industries and the macroeconomic environment and comparing with the data and assumptions used by the Bank and Group in recoverability assessment. Where relevant we assessed the forecast timing of future cash flows in the context of underlying valuations and business plans and evaluating the key assumptions in the valuations; • Testing the implementation of the Bank and Group’s SICR methodology by re-performing the staging calculation for a sample of loans; • For a sample of customer loans which were not identified as displaying indicators of impairment by management, we reassessed the conclusions made by the management by reviewing the historical performance of the customers and form our own view whether any impairment indicators were present. Assessing the adequacy of collectively assessed provisions We tested key controls of the Group in relation to: • The ECL model governance and validation processes which involved assessment of model performance; • The assessment and approval of the forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenario weightings, trends in the credit risk concentration of specific portfolios and our understanding of economic conditions. As part of this work, we assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s considerations of the economic uncertainty relating to COVID-19. Our further audit procedures included; • Assessing the ongoing effectiveness of the SICR criteria and independently calculating the loans’ stage to determine whether a SICR event had occurred. In addition, we assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s treatment of COVID-19 payment relief customers (moratorium/ debt concessionary) from a SICR perspective; • Evaluating and challenging the key assumptions in the components of the Bank’s and Group’s post-model adjustments to the ECL allowance balance. This included assessing the requirement for additional allowances considering the Group’s ECL model and data limitations identified by the Group’s ECL model validation processes, particularly in light of the extreme volatility in economic scenarios caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic and government responses; • Working with our won risk consulting specialists, we assessed the reasonability of the adjustments made by the Group to the forward looking macro-economic factors and assumptions used in the ECL model; • Assessing the completeness of additional allowance overlays by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the loan portfolios against the Group’s assessment; 131 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
134. Independent Auditor ’s Report • Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s disclosures in the financial statements using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards; • Evaluating the approach taken by the management in identifying the risk elevated sectors and assessing the current market conditions and specific risks in the Bank and Group’s loan portfolios due to exposure to risk elevated sectors; • Assessing the impacts on the modelled ECL and the requirement for out of model adjustments to account for the expected increase in delinquencies; • Assessing the completeness of additional allowance overlays by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the loan portfolios against the Bank and Group’s assessment; • Reviewing the deliverables submitted by the component auditors (other KPMG audit teams) as per the Group Audit Instructions to assess any implications that could arise at the group level stemming from issues at subsidiary level including adequacy of allowances for ECL as at reporting date. IT systems and controls over financial reporting Risk Description Our Responses The Bank and Group’s businesses utilise many complex, interdependent Information Technology (IT) systems to process and record a high volume of transactions. Controls over access and changes to IT systems are critical to the recording of financial information and the preparation of financial statements which provides a true and fair view of the Bank and Group’s financial position and performance. We worked with our IT specialists to perform audit procedures to test the technology control environment for key IT applications (systems) used in processing significant transactions and recording balances in the general ledger. We also tested automated controls embedded within these systems which link the technology-enabled business processes. The IT systems and controls, as they impact the recording and reporting of financial transactions, is a key audit matter as our audit approach could significantly differ depending on the effective operation of the Bank and Group’s IT controls. Our further audit procedures included: General IT controls design, observation and operation • Assessing the governance and higher-level controls in place across the IT Environment, including those regarding policy design, review and awareness, and IT Risk Management practices; • Obtaining an understanding and testing operating effectiveness of the sample of key controls operating over the information technology in relation to financial accounting and reporting systems, including system access and system change management, monitor system integrity, program development and computer operations; • Data integrity of critical system reporting used by us in our audit to select samples and analyse data used by management to generate Financial statements. Application controls • On sample basis, re-performed selected automated computations and compared our results with those from the system and the general Ledger. User access controls operation 132 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC • Assessing the management’s evaluation of access rights granted to applications relevant to financial accounting and reporting systems and; • Assessing the operating effectiveness of controls over granting, removal and appropriateness of access rights.
135. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information . The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. As part of an audit in accordance with SLAuSs, we exercise professional judgment 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank and the Group’s internal control. • 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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s and the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 SLAuSs 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. 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. 133 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
136. Independent Auditor ’s Report We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with ethical requirements in accordance with the Code of Ethics regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements As required by section 163 (2) of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, we have obtained all the information and explanations that were required for the audit and, as far as appears from our examination, proper accounting records have been kept by the Bank. CA Sri Lanka membership number of the engagement partner responsible for signing this independent auditor’s report is FCA 2294.

Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to circumstances beyond the Group’s control and are reflected in the assumptions if and when they occur. Estimates and underlining assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. Items with the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements with substantial management judgement and/or estimates are collated below with respect to judgement/ estimates involved. 2.2.1 Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economy have impacted the customers, operations and Group performance. The outbreak necessitated the government to respond at unprecedented levels to protect the health of the population, local economy and livelihoods. Thus the pandemic has significantly increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial statements including, the extent and duration of the disruption to businesses, expected economic downturn, and subsequent recovery. The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit losses, fair value measurement and the assessment of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these estimates is discussed further in the relevant notes of these financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Application of Accounting Policies The Group has consistently applied the accounting policies for all periods presented in the financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but not yet effective. 150 Apart from the general accounting policies set out below, the specific accounting policies pertaining to each item in the financial statements have been presented within the respective notes to the financial statements. These significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements of the Group, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group entities where applicable and deviations if any have been disclosed accordingly. Further the changes in accounting policies due to adoption of new standards and interpretations have been presented in Note 3.6 to the financial statements.

The Group’s financial statements comprise the consolidation of the financial statements of the Bank, its subsidiaries in terms of the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 10 on “Consolidated Financial Statements” and the proportionate share of the profit or loss and net assets of its joint venture (equity method) in terms of the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 11 on “Joint Arrangements”. 3.1.1 Business Combinations and Goodwill The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. From 1st January 2020, in determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs. The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in income statement. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in income statement. 3.1.2 Non-Controlling Interests (NCI) The Details of non-controlling interest are given in Note 58 to the financial statements. 3.1.3 Subsidiaries The details of the Bank’s subsidiaries, how they are accounted in the financial statements of the Bank and their contingencies are set out in Notes 35 and 59 on pages 261 and 316 to the financial statements. 3.1.4 Joint Venture The details of joint venture, the method of accounting for same in the financial statements of the Bank, together with summarized financial position and the Group’s share of contingent liabilities of such joint venture are set out in Notes 34 and 59 on pages 258 and 316 to the financial statements. 3.1.5 Loss of Control When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in income statement. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an associate or in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for financial instruments. 3.1.6 Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation Intra-group balances, transactions and income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Un-realised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Un-realised losses are eliminated in the same way as un-realised gains, except that those are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 3.1.7 Material Gains or Losses, Provisional Values or Error Corrections There were no material gains or losses, provisional values or error corrections recognised during the year in respect of business combinations that took place in previous periods. 3.2 Foreign Currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency, which is Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR), using the middle rates of exchange prevailing at the dates on which the transactions were affected. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to Sri Lankan Rupees using the middle rates of exchange prevailing at that date. All differences arising on non-trading activities are taken to” other operating income” in the income statement as foreign exchange gain/(loss). 3.2.1 Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 151 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
154. Notes to the Financial Statements The foreign currency gains or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period , adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the middle rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statement, except for differences arising on the retranslation of financial investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to Sri Lankan Rupees at the exchange rates on the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognised in income statement. However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of following items are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI): • Equity investments in respect of which an election has been made to present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI; • A financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and • Qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective. 3.2.2 Foreign Currency Translations The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupees, which is also the Bank’s functional currency. The financial statements of the foreign currency banking unit is translated into the Group’s presentation currency as explained below. 3.2.3 Transactions of the Foreign Currency Banking Unit These are recorded in accordance with above, except the application of the closing exchange rate for translation of the income statement and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 3.3 3.3.1 152 Financial Instruments – Initial Recognition, Classification and Subsequent Measurement trades mean purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place. Loans and advances to customers are recognised when funds are transferred to the customers’ accounts. The Group recognises balances due to customers when funds are transferred to the Group. 3.3.2 Recognition and Initial Measurement of Financial Instruments The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on their contractual terms and the business model for managing instruments as described in Note 3.4 to the financial statements. All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus or minus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability, except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at transaction price. When the fair value of financial instruments at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the bank accounts for the ‘Day 1’ profit or loss, as described below. 3.3.2 (a)“Day 1” Profit or Loss The “Day 1 loss” arising in the case of loans granted to employees at concessionary rates under uniformly applicable schemes is deferred and amortised using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) in “interest Income” and “Personal Expenses” over the remaining service period of employee or tenure of the loan whichever is shorter. 3.4 Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Instruments The Group classifies all of its financial assets based on the business model for managing the asset and the asset’s contractual terms. These assets are measured at either: • Amortised cost, as explained in Note 31 and Note 32 to the financial statements. • Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI), as explained in Note 33 to the financial statements. • Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) as explained in Note 30 to the financial statements. The Group classifies and measures its derivative and trading portfolio at FVTPL as explained in Notes 29 and 30 to the financial statements. The Group may designate financial instruments at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistencies, as explained in Note 30 to the financial statements. Financial liabilities, other than loan commitments and financial guarantees, are measured at amortised cost or at FVTPL. Date of Recognition All financial assets and liabilities with the exception of loans and advances to customers and balances due to customers are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes “regular way trades”. Regular way HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
155. The financial liabilities are measured at FVTPL when they are either derivative instruments , held for trading or the fair value designation is applied, as explained in Note 29 to the financial statements. “Interest” is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during the particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as profit margin. The subsequent measurement of financial instruments depends on their classification. 3.4.1 Business Model Assessment When carrying out the SPPI assessment, the Group applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated and the period for which the interest rate is set. The Group determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective. The Group’s business model is not assessed on an instrumentby-instrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as: In contrast, contractual terms that introduce a more than “de minimis” exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at FVTPL. • How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity’s key management personnel • The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed • How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected) • The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Group’s assessment The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking into account “worse case” or “stress case” scenarios. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Group’s original expectations, the Group does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward. 3.4.2 Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI test) As a second step of its classification process, the Group assesses the contractual terms of the financial assets to identify whether they meet the SPPI test. For the purpose of this assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortisation of the premium/ discount). 153 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements 3 .4.3 Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets A summary of the recognition and measurement criteria pertaining to different types of financial assets recognised within the statement of financial position are as follows. Financial Asset Classification Criteria Type of Assets Measured as per the Specified Asset Classification Note Reference Financial assets measured at amortised cost A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met and is not designated as at FVTPL: Cash and cash equivalents Note 25 Placements with banks Note 26 - The financial asset is held within a business Balances with Central Bank of Sri Lanka model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash Reverse repurchase agreements flows; and - The contractual terms of the financial asset Financial assets measured at amortised give rise on specified dates to cash flows cost - loans and advances to customers that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income Note 27 Note 28 Note 31 Financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other instruments Note 32 Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income Note 33 Derivative financial instruments A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured Financial assets measured at fair value at amortised cost or at fair value though other comprehensive income. However, the through profit or loss Group may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch) that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets and liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on different basis. Note 29 • A debt instrument is measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) when both of the following conditions are met: - The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets - The contractual terms of the financial asset meet the SPPI test • Upon initial recognition, the Group may elect to classify irrecoverably some of its equity investments held for strategic and statutory purposes as equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss 154 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC Note 30
157. 3 .4.4 Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities A summary of the recognition and measurement criteria pertaining to the different types of financial liabilities recognised within the statement of financial position are as follows Financial Liability Classification Criteria Type of Liabilities Measured as per the Specified Liability Classification Note Reference Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost Financial liabilities issued by the Due to banks Note 42 Group that are not designated at FVTPL are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost Securities sold under repurchase agreements Note 43 Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost - due to depositors Note 44 Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost - other borrowings Note 46 Debt securities issued Note 47 Subordinated term debts Note 52 Derivative financial instruments Note 29 Financial liabilities measured at fair value Financial liabilities measured at fair through profit or loss value through profit or loss include; - Financial liabilities held for trading and - Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss • • • at FVTPL due to changes in the Bank’s own credit risk. Such changes in fair value are recorded in the own credit reserve through other comprehensive income and do not get recycled to the income statement. Interest earned or incurred on instruments designated at FVTPL is accrued in interest income or interest expense, respectively, using the effective interest rate, taking into account any discount/premium and qualifying transaction costs being an integral part of the instrument. Financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and have been either designated by the Group upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under SLFRS 9. Group only designates a financial liability at FVTPL upon initial recognition when one of the following criteria are met. Such designation is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis: The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets and liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them on a different basis or The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed and their performances are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy The liabilities containing one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly modify the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the contract, or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar instrument is first considered that separation of the embedded derivative(s) is prohibited 3.4.5 Reclassifications of Financial Instruments As per the requirement of SLFRS 9, the Group reclassifies its financial assets subsequent to the initial recognition when and only when the business model for managing such financial assets is changed. Such reclassifications are applied prospectively from the reclassification date. Financial liabilities are not reclassified as such reclassifications are not permitted by SLFRS 9. • If a financial asset is reclassified out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category, its fair value is measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from a difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognised in income statement. Changes in fair value are recorded in income statement with the exception of movements in fair value of liabilities designated 155 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
158. Notes to the Financial Statements • • • 3.4.6 If the reclassification takes place out of the fair value through profit or loss category into the amortised cost measurement category, its fair value at the reclassification date becomes the new gross carrying amount. • If the reclassification takes place out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category, fair value is measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from a difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and the measurement of expected credit losses are not adjusted as a result of the reclassification. • It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), when all of the following three conditions are met: The details of reclassification related to previous year disclosed in Note 33 to the financial statements. • The Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset, excluding short-term advances with the right to full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates De-recognition of Financial Instruments The Group derecognises a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognised as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded. The newly recognised loans are classified as Stage 1 for ECL measurement purposes, unless the new loan is deemed to be a Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired (POCI) asset. • The Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients • The Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. When assessing whether or not to derecognise a loan to a customer, amongst others, the Group considers the following factors: • Change in currency of the loan • Change in counterparty 3.4.6 (b)Derecognition other than for substantial modification 3.4.6 (b)(i) Financial assets 156 A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired. The Bank also derecognises the financial asset if it has both transferred the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC In addition, the Group is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients. A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either: • If the modification is such that the instrument would no longer meet the SPPI criterion If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, the Group records a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded. • The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset • Introduction of an equity feature The Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or 3.4.6(a) Derecognition due to substantial modification of terms and conditions The Group has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either: or • The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset The Group considers control to be transferred if and only if, the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without imposing additional restrictions on the transfer. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognised only to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement, in which case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Bank has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
159. carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration the Group could be required to pay . If continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) on the transferred asset, the continuing involvement is measured at the value the Group would be required to pay upon repurchase. In the case of a written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the extent of the entity’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement and disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statement, except for property previously revalued where the gain or loss on revaluation was taken to equity. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in equity up to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation gains. 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. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, 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. 3.6 Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR) (Amendments to SLFRS 9, LKAS 39 and SLFRS 7) A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, replacing certain interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as “IBOR reform”). Bank has exposure to certain IBORs on its financial instruments that are being reformed as part of these market-wide initiatives. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) issued amendments to SLFRS 9, LKAS 39 and SLFRS 7 due to Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 1 and Phase 2. The effective date of both IBOR reform Phase 1 and Phase 2 amendments is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 in the Sri Lankan context and the requirements under phase 2 amendments have to be applied retrospectively. The main risks to which the Bank has been exposed as a result of IBOR reform are operational. For example, the renegotiation of loan contracts through bilateral negotiation with customers, updating of contractual terms and revision of operational controls related to the reform and regulatory risks. Financial risk is predominantly limited to interest rate risk. Bank has commenced a process to evaluate the impact from this reform on its financial instruments. This process will 3.4.6 (b)(ii)Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in income statement. 3.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Group’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, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. 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 generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. 157 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
160. Notes to the Financial Statements involve evaluating the extent to which loans advanced , loan commitments, liabilities and derivatives reference IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform, how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties and the changes required for the existing credit policies. As at 31st December 2021, the IBORs for certain key currencies to which the Bank has exposure to are in the process of reforming. 4. NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS The following new accounting standards and amendments/ improvements to the existing standards were issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka). A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1st January 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements. 4.1 Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to Sri Lanka Accounting Standard LKAS 37 – “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”) These amendments specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022 to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first applied. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying the amendments is recognised as an opening balance adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not restated. 4.2 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to Sri Lanka Accounting Standard LKAS 12 – “Income Taxes”) The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences – e.g. leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2023. For leases and decommissioning liabilities, the associated deferred tax asset and liabilities will need to be recognised from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other types of transactions, the amendments apply to transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period presented. There will be no impact on retained earnings on adoption of the amendments 158 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC 4.3 Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” effective from 1st January 2023 - Applicable for Subsidiary, HNB Assurance PLC (HNBA) and HNB General Insurance Ltd (HNBG) SLFRS 17 requires liabilities for insurance contracts to be recognised as the present value of future cash flows, incorporating an explicit risk adjustment, which is updated at each reporting date to reflect current conditions, and a Contractual Service Margin (CSM) that is equal and opposite to any “Day 1” gain arising on initial recognition. Losses are recognised directly into the income statement. For measurement purposes, contracts are grouped together into contracts of similar risk, profitability profile and issue year, with further divisions for contracts that are managed separately. SLFRS 17 introduces a new measure of insurance revenue, based on the delivery of services to policyholders and excluding any premiums related to the investment elements of policies, which will be significantly different from existing premium revenue measures, currently reported in the income statement. In order to transition to SLFRS 17, the amount of deferred profit, being the CSM at transition date, needs to be determined. SLFRS 17 is expected to have a significant impact on HNBA and HNBG, as the requirements of the new standard are complex and requires a fundamental change to accounting for insurance contracts as well as the application of significant judgement and new estimation techniques. HNBA and HNBG have assessment and an implementation programme underway to implement SLFRS 17 and SLFRS 9. 4.4 Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” Temporary Exemption from SLFRS 9 for Subsidiary, HNB Assurance PLC SLFRS 9 addresses the accounting for financial instruments and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018. However, for an insurer that meets the criteria in paragraph 20B of SLFRS 9, it provides a temporary exemption that permits, but does not require, the insurer to apply LKAS 39 rather than SLFRS 9 for annual periods beginning before 1st January 2023. An insurer may apply the temporary exemption from SLFRS 9 if, and only if: (a) it has not previously applied any version of SLFRS 9, other than only the requirements for the presentation of gains and losses on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in paragraphs 5.7.1(c), 5.7.7 – 5.7.9, 7.2.14 and B5.7.5 – B5.7.20 of SLFRS 9; and (b) its activities are predominantly connected with insurance, as described in paragraph 20D, at its annual reporting date that immediately precedes 1st April 2016, or at a subsequent annual reporting date as specified in paragraph 20G of SLFRS 9.
161. Since HNB Assurance PLC and HNB General Insurance Limited are predominantly connected with Insurance activities , having considering the above criteria, both the companies may continue to apply LKAS 39 rather than SLFRS 9 for annual periods beginning before 1st January 2023. However, the financial statements of HNB Assurance PLC has been prepared in line with SLFRS 9 when preparing the consolidated financial statements. 4.5 Other New Accounting Pronouncements The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. • COVID-19 related rent concessions beyond 30th June 2021 (Amendment to SLFRS 16) – effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2021. • Annual improvements to SLFRS Standards 2018 – 2020 effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022. • Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use (Amendments to LKAS 16) - effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022. • Reference to conceptual framework (Amendments to SLFRS 3) - effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2022. • Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to LKAS 1) - effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2023. • Disclosure of accounting policies (Amendments to LKAS 1 and SLFRS Practice Statement 2) - effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2023. • Definition of accounting estimates (Amendments to LKAS 8) - effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2023. 159 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
162. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT This note presents information about the Bank /Group exposure to financial risks and the Bank/Group’s management of capital. 5.1 Introduction and Overview Bank/Group has exposure to the following key risks from financial instruments: Investment Review Committee (BSIRC), Board Digital Banking Committee (BDBC), Board Procurement and Asset Disposal Committee and Board Recoveries Committee (BRC). The BIRMC provides the Board, the assurance that risk management strategies, policies and processes are in place to manage events/outcomes that have the potential to impact significantly on earnings performance, reputation and capital. The approach entails active monitoring of the level of risk exposure against the parameters set in the risk appetite and risk goals. The BCC and BRC also assists the Board by assessing significant credit and other transactions beyond the discretion of executive management. Executive management committees, each with specialised focus, have been established to support the BIRMC and are responsible for the co-ordination of risk matters for each of the areas pertaining to risk management. Those are Executive Risk Management and Credit Policy Committee (ERMCP), Operational Risk Steering Committee, Asset and Liability Committee and IT Steering Committee. The BAC provides its assessment on the effectiveness of internal audit and external disclosure of accounting policies and financial reporting, to the Board. Internal Audit Department undertakes both regular and ad-hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the BAC. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, products and services offered. - credit risk; - liquidity risk; - market risk and - operational risks The following chart provides a link between the Bank/Group business units and the principal risks that they are exposed to. The significance of risk is assessed within the context of the Bank/Group as a whole and is measured based on allocation of the regulatory capital within the Bank/Group. This note presents information about the Bank/Group exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing such risk. 5.2 Risk Management Framework The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Bank’s risk management framework. The Board discharges its governance responsibility through seven board sub committees with oversight responsibility for risk management viz.

163. Page Reference 5 .3 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Bank if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Bank’s loans and advances to customers and investments in debt securities. In addition to loans, the Bank makes available to its customers, guarantees which may require that the Bank makes payments on their behalf and enters into commitments to extend credit lines to secure their liquidity needs. Letters of credit and guarantees (including standby letters of credit) commit the Bank to make payments on behalf of customers in the event of a specific act, generally related to the import or export of goods. Such commitments expose the Bank to risks similar to loans and are mitigated by the same control processes and policies. For risk management reporting purposes, the Bank considers and consolidates all elements of credit risk exposure (such as individual obligor default risk, industry risk and geographical risk etc.). The methodology adopted by the Bank in determining the expected credit losses is detailed in Note 31 to the financial statements. 5.3 Credit Risk 5.3.1 Settlement risk 161 5.3.2 Management of credit risk 162 5.3.3 Credit quality analysis 162 5.3.4 Credit exposure and expected credit loss (ECL) provision movement - Stage wise 169 5.3.5 Collateral held and other credit enhancements 175 5.3.6 Concentrations of credit risk 176 5.3.7 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities 180 5.4 Liquidity risk 5.4.1 Management of liquidity risk 180 5.4.2 Exposure to liquidity risk 181 5.4.3 Analysis for financial liabilities and financial assets by remaining contractual maturities 182 5.4.4 Liquidity reserves 184 COVID-19 consideration on credit risk 5.4.5 Financial assets available to support future funding 185 5.5 Market risk 5.5.1 Management of market risk 186 5.5.2 Exposure to equity price risk - Trading portfolios 187 5.5.3 Exposure to interest rate risk - Non-trading portfolios 188 5.5.4 Exposure to currency risks - Non-trading portfolios 190 Bank continued to conduct in-depth analysis on the industries which has been affected and the scale of impact on Bank’s lending portfolio, through various stress testing techniques including stage shifting assessment of elevated risk industries. The spread of COVID – 19 in Sri Lanka stressed the importance of diversification of the Bank’s loan book across a wide range of industries which in turn would ensure the resilience of the Bank in an economic shock of this nature. The Bank is comfortable with the existing composition of its loan book and continuous monitoring activities are being carried out to avoid accumulation of exposures to risky economic segments. 5.3.1 Settlement Risk 5.6 Operational Risk 190 5.7 Capital Management 5.7.1 Regulatory capital 192 The Bank’s activities may give rise to risk at the time of settlement of transactions and trades. “Settlement risk” is the risk of loss due to the failure of a customer or a counterparty to honour its obligations to deliver cash, securities or other assets as contractually agreed. 5.7.2 Capital allocation 193 161 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
164. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) 5.3.2 Management of Credit Risk Board Credit Committee has oversight responsibility for the management of credit. Risk Management Division (RMD) is a separate vertical independent of business units, established to assess the credit risk of credit proposals and submit independent observations to all approving authorities. Other responsibilities of RMD are as follows: - Formulating credit policies and guidelines in consultation with business units covering collateral requirements, credit assessment, risk grading and reporting, documentary and legal procedures and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements. Formalize approval of such policies and guidelines from the Board of Directors upon clearance by relevant Board Subcommittees. - Establishing the credit approval structure with delegated authority limits for the approval and renewal of credit facilities. The delegated authority limits are assigned to identified individuals. Larger credit facilities require approval by the Board Credit Committee or the Board of Directors as appropriate. - - 162 responsible for the quality and performance of its credit portfolio and for monitoring and controlling all credit risks in its portfolios. Regular audits of business units and credit processes are undertaken by Internal Audit Division. 5.3.3 Credit Quality Analysis 5.3.3 (a) Collateral and other credit enhancements The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are in place covering the acceptability and valuation of each type of collateral. The general creditworthiness of customers tends to be the most relevant indicator of credit quality of a loan. However, collateral provides additional security and the Bank generally requests large borrowers to provide same. The Bank may take collateral in the form of a first charge over real estate and residential properties, floating charges over all corporate assets and other liens and guarantees. The main types of collateral obtained are, as follows: • For securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions; cash or securities Reviewing and assessing credit risk: credit risk unit of RMD assesses all credit exposures in excess of designated limits, before facilities are approved. Renewals of facilities are subject to the same review process. Setting the risk appetite for exposures to counterparties, geographies and industries (for loans and advances, financial guarantees and similar exposures), and by issuer, credit rating band, market liquidity and country (for investment securities). • For corporate and small business lending; charges over real estate properties, inventory and trade receivables and in special circumstances, government guarantees • For retail lending; mortgages over residential properties The Bank also obtains guarantees from parent companies for loans to their subsidiaries. - Providing advice, guidance and specialist skills to business units to promote best practice throughout the Bank in the management of credit risk. Management monitors the market value of collateral and will request additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement. - Identification of elevated risk industries and the adequacy of any overlay adjustment made out side the ECL model to address the potential implication of COVID-19 pandemic and resultant moratorium schemes introduced by Government. The Bank’s policy is to pursue timely realisation of the collateral in an orderly manner. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. The Bank generally does not use non-cash collateral for its own operations. Each business unit is required to implement Bank’s credit policies and guidelines, with credit approval authorities delegated from the Board of Directors. Each business unit is HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) 5.3.3 (d)Financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers - Analysis of Stage 2 and Stage 3 loans The tables below summarises the ageing of stage 2 and stage 3 loans, as follows: Stage 2-Loans less than 30 Days Past Due (DPD) and loans greater than 30 DPD irrespective of the criteria that triggered their classification into Stage 2. Stage 3 - Loans less than 90 DPD and loans greater than 90 DPD, thus segregating the loans classified as stage 3 due to ageing and those identified at an earlier stage due to other criteria (eg: customer facilities which are classified as non performing advances in accordance with CBSL directions).

169. 5 .3.3 (e)Derivative financial instruments Credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, at any time, limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded on the statement of financial position. With gross–settled derivatives, the Bank is also exposed to a settlement risk, being the risk that the Bank honours its obligation, but the counterparty fails to deliver the counter value. The following table shows an analysis of counterparty credit exposures arising from derivative transactions.

170. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) 5.3.3 (f) Modified financial assets The contractual terms of a loan may be modified for a number of reasons, including changing market conditions, customer retention and other factors not related to a current or potential credit deterioration of the customer. An existing loan whose terms have been modified may be derecognised and the renegotiated loan recognised as a new loan at fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in 31 (c) iii. When the terms of a financial asset are modified and the modification does not result in derecognition, the determination of whether the asset’s credit risk has increased significantly reflects comparison of: - its remaining lifetime PD at the reporting date based on the modified terms; with - the remaining lifetime PD estimated based on data on initial recognition and the original contractual terms. When modification results in derecognition, a new loan is recognised and allocated to Stage 1 (assuming it is not credit-impaired at that time). The Group renegotiates loans to customers in financial difficulties to maximise collection opportunities and minimise the risk of default. Under the forbearance policy, loan forbearance is granted on a selective basis if the debtor is currently in default on its debt or if there is a high risk of default, there is evidence that the debtor made all reasonable efforts to pay under the original contractual terms and the debtor is expected to be able to meet the revised terms. The revised terms usually include extending the maturity, changing the timing of interest payments and amending the terms of loan covenants. Both retail and corporate loans are subject to the forbearance policy. The management regularly reviews reports on forbearance activities. Generally, forbearance is a qualitative indicator of a significant increase in credit risk and an expectation of forbearance may constitute evidence that an exposure is credit-impaired. A customer needs to demonstrate consistently good payment behaviour over a period of time before the exposure is no longer considered to be credit-impaired/in default or the PD is considered to have decreased such that it falls within the 12 month PD ranges for the asset to be considered Stage 1. The following table provides information on financial assets that were modified while they had a loss allowance measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

175. 5 .3.4 (a)Sensitivity of factors used to determine impairment provisions COVID-19 introduced significant estimation uncertainty in relation to measurement of Bank’s allowance for expected credit losses. Given current economic uncertainties and the judgment applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future periods, expected credit losses reported by the Bank should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

The objective of the Bank’s liquidity and funding framework is to ensure that funding commitments and deposit withdrawals can be met when due and market access remains cost effective. A board approved liquidity policy to manage liquidity on a day-to-day basis along with a contingency funding plan to deal with crisis situations are in place. Contractual and behavioural maturity of assets and liabilities, key liquidity ratios and monthly liquidity forecasts and gaps are reviewed at Assets and Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings. The main sources of the Bank’s funding are capital, core deposits from retail and commercial clients, wholesale deposits and access to borrowed funds from the interbank money market. The Bank also maintains a portfolio of readily marketable securities to further strengthen its liquidity position. Liquidity risk exposure is managed by treasury with limits and triggers set to ensure that sufficient liquidity surplus and reserves are available to meet daily business requirements and also to deal with a sudden liquidity shock. Treasury reports the Bank’s overall liquidity position to management on a daily basis.  Management has evaluated the impact from COVID – 19 on the Bank’s operations and forecast cash flows and is of the view that the negative impacts from same would not pose any additional stress on the Bank’s ability to maintain its regulatory capital margins which is well above the regulatory requirements. Further, the Bank has increased its liquidity buffers on a prudent basis and maintained a strong excess liquidity position. 180 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

For this purpose, ”liquid assets” include cash and cash equivalents, Placements with banks and Government securities (net). Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Rupee Liquidity Requirement This ratio determines the ability of the Bank to withstand adverse shocks (i.e. sudden withdrawal of a significant portion of deposits) by holding high quality liquid assets in a 30 day time span. All Currency Liquidity Requirement Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) This ratio measures the availability of stable funds against the required funds of the Bank. NSFR, requires banks to maintain stable funding profile by creating additional incentives to fund their activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis, over a longer time horizon.

However, the Bank expects that many customers will not request repayment on the earliest date it could be required to pay and the table does not reflect the expected cash flows indicated by its deposit retention history.  Contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and financial liabilities Bank As at 31st December 2021 Financial Assets Derivative assets    Derivative financial instruments held for risk management Non- derivative assets  Cash and cash equivalents  Balances with Central Bank of Sri Lanka Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers (gross) Financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income Other financial assets  Total undiscounted financial assets  Up to  3 - 12 3 months  months  Rs 000 Rs 000 918,019 9,468 38,194,133 -  3 - 5  More than years  years  5 years  Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 - - - 927,487 - - - 25,820,489 38,194,133 25,820,489 103,365 - - - - 103,365 340,301,920 259,567,528 254,691,262 130,746,016 48,677,782 23,881,525 72,254,604 42,375,262 169,603,705 6,123,181 603,922,105 6,382,678 289,841,199 21,108,788 348,054,654 7,996,230 181,117,508 94,479 - - - 353,357 6,262,755 223,535 3,041,281 - 2,084,682 - 83,252 - 17,522,959 33,573,744 363,827,496 - 37,101,967 - 8,113,501 - 29,186 1,096,579,056 989,212 2,903,335 6,900,771 7,424,656 167,000 3,282,408 376,761,008 2,257,715 11,676,144 60,977,878 11,475,252 29,098,090 (86,919,809) 287,076,776 152,019,417 Financial Liabilities Derivative liabilities  Derivative financial instruments held for risk management 258,878 Non-derivative liabilities  Due to banks 6,050,989 Securities sold under repurchase agreements 33,350,209 Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost - due to depositors 687,506,906 Dividends payable   989,212 Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost - other borrowings 5,889,972 Financial liabilities at amortised cost - debt securities issued Other financial liabilities  9,346 Subordinated term debts Total undiscounted financial liabilities 734,055,512 Net undiscounted financial assets/(liabilities) (130,133,407) 182 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC  1 - 3 Total 136,289,942 1,121,596,668 17,697,469 204,886,642 10,993,173 216,084,574 6,123,181 190,801,073 1,613,736,539 1,941,680 25,060,414 2,424,715 9,346 10,325,000 36,758,804 12,379,118 1,213,271,607 178,421,955 400,464,932

Issued financial guarantee contracts and unrecognised loan commitments In respect of issued financial guarantee contracts, the maximum amount of the guarantee is allocated to the earliest period in which the guarantee could be called. The Bank’s expected cash flows on some financial assets and financial liabilities vary significantly from the contractual cash flows. The principal differences are as follows: - demand deposits from customers are expected to remain stable or increase; - unrecognised loan commitments are not all expected to be drawn down immediately; 5.4.4 Liquidity reserves Components of the Bank’s liquid assets portfolio used for the purpose of calculating statutory liquid asset ratio in December 2020 and December 2021 (average balance for the month) is given below.  December Cash Balances with licensed commercial banks Money at call in Sri Lanka Treasury bills and securities issued or guaranteed by the Government of Sri Lanka which have a maturity not exceeding one year Goods Receipts/Liquid assets permitted under extraordinary policy measures due to COVID-19 Import bills Export bills Cash items in the process of collection Balances with banks abroad Total average liquid assets for the month of December  2021 2020 Rs 000 Rs 000 29,606,448 1,036,786 2,318,065  22,991,556   210,389   10,990,548  285,152,968 3,028 1,199,973 303,139 6,459,173 326,079,580  379,992,038   10,985,808   1,645,313   342,191   8,995,271   436,153,114  Monthly liquidity gap is reported to ALCO by Treasury for each currency, together with the overall gap position. Liquidity gap is based on the expected realisation of assets and liabilities which have been determined based on historical behaviour. Net liquidity position reported for the month is monitored against the pre-set limits which have been approved by the ALCO. The Bank also holds debt and equity securities which are not considered as liquid assets but for which there is an active and liquid market. These assets can be readily sold to meet any unexpected liquidity requirements. Detailed analysis of the debt and equity securities held by the Bank as at 31st December 2021 is presented in Note 32 and 33 to the financial statements. 184 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

188. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) 5.5 Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads (not relating to changes in the obligor’s or issuer’s credit standing) will affect the Bank’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of the Bank’s market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters in order to ensure the Bank’s solvency while optimising the return on risk. 5.5.1 Management of Market Risk The Bank separates its exposure to market risk between trading and non-trading portfolios. Trading portfolio includes financial assets and liabilities that are managed on a fair value basis. All foreign exchange positions within the Bank are treated as part of the Bank’s trading portfolios for risk management purposes. Non trading portfolio is managed in accordance with the purpose and strategic benefits of such investments, rather than purely on fair value basis. The Bank has a board approved treasury policy. Treasury middle office monitors the Bank’s compliance with the above policy and ensures that the Bank’s market risk limits are in line with the level of risk acceptable to the Board. The Bank employs a range of tools to monitor and limit market risk exposures which are discussed below. The following table sets out the allocation of assets and liabilities subject to market risk between trading and non-trading portfolios.

The VaR of a portfolio is the estimated loss that will arise on the portfolio over a specified period of time (holding period) from an adverse market movement with a specified probability (confidence level). The VaR model is used mainly based on historical simulation by the Bank upon a 99 percent confidence level and assumes 1-day and a 10-day holding period. Taking account of market data from the previous two years and observed relationships between different markets and prices, the model generates a wide range of plausible future scenarios for market price movements. Although VaR is an important tool for measuring market risk, the assumptions on which the model is based give rise to some limitations, including the following: • The 1-day and 10-day holding periods assumes that it is possible to hedge or dispose of positions within those periods. This may not be the case for illiquid assets or in situations in which there is severe general market liquidity. • A 99 percent confidence level does not reflect losses that may occur beyond this level. Even within the model used, there is a one percent probability that losses could exceed the VaR. • VaR is calculated on an end-of-day basis and does not reflect exposures that may arise on positions during the trading day. • The use of historical data as a basis for determining the possible range of future outcomes, may not always cover all possible scenarios, especially those of an exceptional nature. • The VaR measure is dependent upon the Bank’s position and the volatility of market prices. The VaR of an unchanged position reduces if market price volatility declines and vice versa. • The Bank uses VaR limits for foreign exchange and equity risks. The overall structure of VaR limits is subject to review and approval by ALCO. VaR limits are allocated to portfolios. VaR is measured at least monthly and reported to the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) and Board Integrated Risk Management Committee (BIRMC). 187 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
190. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) The Bank’s VaR models are subject to regular validation by Treasury Mid Office (TMO) to ensure that they continue to perform as expected and that assumptions used in model development are still appropriate. A summary of the VaR position of the Bank as at 31st December and during the period is as follows: As at 31st December 2021 2020 Marked-to-market value of the trading equity portfolio - Rs 000 103,365  84,499  Value-at-Risk (under 99% confidence level for 10 day period) 11.55% 10.10% Maximum possible loss of value in the marked-to-market value of the portfolio is indicated by the VaR over a 10 day period - Rs 000 11,939  8,534  The limitations of the VaR model are mitigated by supplementing VaR limits with other risk measures. The Bank uses a wide range of stress tests to model the financial impact of various exceptional market scenarios such as changes in exchange rates, interest rates and prices of financial instruments such as equities and bonds. The results of the stress tests are reviewed periodically by the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) and Board Integrated Risk Management Committee (BIRMC). Exposure to Equity price Risk - Non Trading Portfolio Equity price risk is subject to regular monitoring by Market Risk, but is not currently significant in relation to the Bank’s overall results and financial position. 5.5.3 Exposure to interest rate risk - Non-trading portfolios The principal risk to which non-trading portfolios are exposed is the risk of loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The Bank manages the interest rate risk against interest rate gap limits, which is supplemented by monitoring the sensitivity of the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities to various rate scenarios. Net interest yields are also calculated for each product, to ensure that adequate margins are maintained. The Bank holds treasury bills and bonds with shorter maturities, thus the impact of interest rate changes in prices of treasury bills and bonds are very insignificant. Modified duration of non-trading portfolios as at 31st December is given below. As at 31st December Non trading 188 2021 2020 1.0794 2.6623 The following is a summary of the Bank’s interest rate gap position on non-trading portfolios.

Operational risks arise from all of the Bank’s operations. The Bank’s  objective is to manage operational risk in order to avoid financial losses and damage to the Bank’s  reputation with overall cost effectiveness and innovation. Bank’s  policy requires compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The following are included in the operational risk management process within the Bank. • Monitoring of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for the departments/functions under the defined threshold limits. Development of Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSA) to identify the risk exposure of all processes. • Operational risk incident reporting system and the independent analysis of the incidents by the integrated Risk Management Division (IRMD) and recognise necessary improvements in the systems, processes and procedures. • Analyse downtime of the critical systems, attrition information, exit interview comments and complaints to identify operational risks and recommend mitigating controls. The key findings of the analysis are evaluated at the Operational Risk Steering Committee (ORSC) and the Board Integrated Risk Management Committee (BIRMC) meetings in an operational risk perspective. • Ensuring Business Continuity Management and Operational Resilience by Business continuity planning (BCP) and testing Banks Disaster Recovery Drills and strengthening perceived areas for improvement. • Risk Reviewing of New products and processes 190 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
193. The primary responsibility for the development of operational risk management framework and controls to address operational risk lies with IRMD whilst implementation is assigned to senior management within each business unit . This responsibility is supported by the development of overall standards for management of operational risk in the following areas • Requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including independent authorisation of transactions.  • Requirements for reconciliation and monitoring of transactions. • Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements. • Documentation of controls and procedures. • Requirements for periodic assessment of operational risks faced and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the identified risks.  • Requirements for reporting of operational losses and propose remedial action.  • Development of contingency plans. • Training and professional development to establish ethics and business standards. • Insurance covering risk due to threats arising from external and other events. • Risk based reviews on critical outsourced activities Compliance with the Bank’s standards is supported by a program of periodic reviews undertaken by internal audit. The results of internal audit reviews are discussed with the business unit to which they relate, with summaries submitted to the Board Audit Committee and senior management.   191 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
194. Notes to the Financial Statements 5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.) 5.7 Capital Management The Bank is required to manage its capital taking in to account the need to meet the regulatory requirements as well as the current and future business needs, stakeholder expectation and available options for raising capital. 5.7.1 Regulatory capital The Bank manages its capital considering regulatory capital requirements. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) sets and monitors capital requirements for licensed banks in Sri Lanka based on the Basel Framework. Thus the Bank’s operations are directly supervised by CBSL. The Bank is required to comply with the provisions of the Basel III framework  in respect of regulatory capital and capital to cover any additional risk. All banks in Sri Lanka need to maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 7%, Tier 1 ratio of 8.5% and a total capital ratio of 12.5%. In addition, the licensed banks which are determined as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) shall maintain additional Higher Loss Absorbency (HLA) requirements as specified by the Monetary Board in the form of Common Equity Tier 1. As per this requirement, the Bank should maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 8% together with a Tier 1 ratio of 9.5% and a total capital ratio of 13.5% with effect from 31st December 2019. However, subsequent to the extraordinary regulatory measures approved by the Monetary Board to assist affected parties due to COVID-19 outbreak, Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) are allowed to draw down Capital Conservation Buffers by 100 bps. Accordingly, the revised minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 7%, Tier 1 ratio of 8.5% and a total capital ratio of 12.5% is required to be maintained as at 31st December 2021. 2021 2020 Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital after adjustments 122,797,863  117,243,040  Total common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital 132,774,260  121,925,658  38,679,005  37,364,244  As at 31st December Equity capital (stated capital)/assigned capital Reserve fund Published retained earnings/(accumulated retained losses)  7,660,000  30,266,696  19,730,429  Published accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) (1,831,441)  (150,378) General and other disclosed reserves 57,100,000  57,321,363  -  -   Unpublished current year’s profit/(losses) and gains reflected in OCI Ordinary shares issued by consolidated banking and financial subsidiaries of the Bank and held by third parties Total adjustments to CET1 capital Goodwill (net) Other intangible assets (net) Revaluation losses of property, plant and equipment Defined benefit pension fund assets Investments in the capital of banking and financial institutions where the bank does not own more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the entity 192 8,560,000 -  -   9,976,396  4,682,618  - - 1,307,880  1,189,715  -  -   1,248,708 - 377,538  194,159  Significant investments in the capital of financial institutions where the Bank owns more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the entity 2,580,709  2,492,204  Deferred tax assets (net) 4,461,561  806,539  HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

The allocation of capital between specific operations and activities, to a large extent is driven by optimisation of return on capital allocated. The amount of capital allocated to each operation or activity is based primarily on regulatory capital requirements, but in some cases, the regulatory requirements do not fully reflect the varying degree of risks associated with different activities. In such cases, the capital requirements may be flexed to reflect differing risk profiles, subject to the overall level of capital to support a particular operation or activity not falling below the minimum required level by the regulator. 193 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
196. Notes to the Financial Statements 6 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACCOUNTING POLICY Fair value measurement Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal market or , in its absence of which, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the difference, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out. Group measures the fair value of an asset or a liability carried at fair value at bid price or ask price respectively. The long positions and short positions are measured using mid rates. Portfolios of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to market risk and credit risk that are managed by the Group on the basis of the net exposure to either market or credit risk are measured on the basis of a price that would be received to sell a net long position (or paid to transfer a net short position) for the particular risk exposure. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Valuation models Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which observable market prices exist, and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other premiums used in estimating discount rates, bond and equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, expected price volatilities and correlations. The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Group uses widely recognised valuation models to determine the fair value of common and simple financial instruments, such as interest rate and currency swaps, that use only observable market data and require little management judgement and estimation. Observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for government securities such as treasury bills, treasury bonds and Sri Lanka sovereign bonds, listed equity securities and forward contracts. The availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values. The availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets. Fair Value Hierarchy The Group measures the fair values of financial instruments using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. • Level 1  : Fair value measurement using unadjusted quoted market prices  When available, the fair values of financial instruments are determined using quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments. A market is regarded as active, if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. Accordingly, the fair values of treasury bills and bonds have been derived using the market yields and market prices published by Central Bank of Sri Lanka while fair value of quoted equity securities and Sri Lanka Sovereign Bonds have been valued using the quoted market prices as at the reporting date. 194 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
197. • Level 2 : Fair value measurement using significant observable inputs In the absence of an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.  The spot and forward premiums available as at the reporting date have been used to estimate the fair value of derivative financial instruments while the fair value of unquoted units have been measured using manager’s selling prices. The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost have been estimated by comparing the interest rates when they were first recognised with the current market rates of similar instruments. • Level 3 : Fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs Financial instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs that are not observable and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Group believes that a third party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction. Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value A description of how fair values are determined for assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques is summarised below, which incorporates the bank’s estimate of assumptions that a market participant would make when valuing the instruments. • Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps are valued using a valuation technique with market observable inputs (Level 2). The most frequently applied valuation technique is forward pricing model which incorporates various inputs, including foreign exchange spot and forward premiums. • Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Government debt securities classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income  are valued using current yield rates or market rates published by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. Quoted equities and units classified as FVOCI are valued using quoted market prices in the active markets as at the reporting date (Level 1). Unquoted units classified as FVOCI  are valued using manager’s selling price. Unquoted shares classified as FVOCI  are valued at cost. • Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Government debt securities classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are valued using current yield rates or market rates published by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, while quoted equities classified as financial investments recognised through profit or loss are valued using quoted market prices in active markets as at the reporting date (Level 1). Unquoted units classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are valued using manager’s selling price. Valuation framework Control framework has been established for the measurement of fair values. The determination of fair value is carried out independently from front office management and reports to the Chief Financial officer, with the overall responsibility for independently verifying the results of trading and investment operations and all significant fair value measurements. Specific controls include verification of observable pricing and analysis and investigation of significant daily valuation movements for government securities. When the assistance of third party experts is obtained to determine the fair values, the reasonability of such valuation results are validated and significant valuation issues are reported to the Board Audit Committee. 195 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
198. Notes to the Financial Statements 6 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Contd.) ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, those are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but if this is not available, judgement is exercised to establish fair values. COVID 19 Considerations The Group evaluates the material accuracy of the valuations incorporated in the financial statements as they can involve a high degree of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date. The majority of valuation models the Group uses only observable market data as inputs. This has not changed as a result of COVID-19, however the Group has considered the impact of related economic and market disruptions on fair value measurement assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs, notably valuation adjustments, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the classification of exposures in the fair value hierarchy. For certain financial instruments, data that is not readily observable in current markets may be used. If unobservable market data is used, a higher degree of judgement is used to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation. Generally, unobservable inputs are derived from other relevant market data and compared with the observed transaction prices where available. 6.1 Financial instruments measured at fair value and fair value hierarchy The following table analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date, by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised.  The amounts are based on the values recognised in the statement of financial position.

Unquoted units Manager’s selling prices [Rs 27.49 (2020 - Rs 22.75)] Further there are no material changes in the fair value of financial assets categorised under Level 3 compared to the values reported as at 31st December 2020. The Group has not changed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure the fair values of Level 3 financial instruments during the year ended 31st December 2021. Further, there were no transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 1 in 2021 and no transfers in either direction in 2020. There were no transfers out of Level 3 in 2021 or 2020. 6.2.1 Sensitivity of Significant unobservable inputs used to measure fair value of fixed rate financial instruments A Significant increase / ( decrease ) in the market interest rate would result in lower/( higher) fair value being disclosed. 6.3 Level 3 recurring fair values Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for Level 3 fair values.

Majority of the floating rate loans can be re-priced either quarterly or semi-annually while for fixed rate loans, the loan contract allows the Bank to change the contracted rate if there is a material difference between the contracted rate and the market rate. The carrying value of floating rate loans generally approximates the fair value due to the effect of re-pricing while the fair value of loans and receivables to customers with a residual maturity of less than one year generally approximates the carrying value, subject to any significant movement in credit spreads. The estimated fair value of loans and receivables with a residual maturity of more than one year, is the present value of future cash flows expected to be received from such loans and receivables calculated based on interest rates at the reporting date for similar types of loans and receivables. Financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other instruments These comprise of investments in Sri Lanka development bonds, Sri Lanka sovereign bonds, quoted and unquoted debentures. Sri Lanka development bonds are variable rate instruments where the re-pricing happens semi-annually. Thus the carrying value of these bonds approximates their fair value as at the reporting date. The fair values of Sri Lanka sovereign bonds are valued using quoted market 200 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost - due to depositors The fair value of customer deposits which are repayable on demand or have a remaining contractual maturity of less than one year, approximates to the carrying value of such deposits. The fair value of customer deposits with a contractual maturity of more than one year, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows expected from such deposits calculated based on interest rates at the reporting date for similar types of deposits. Debt securities issued The fair value of debt securities issued has been determined by discounting the future cash flows by the interest rates prevailing as at the reporting date for similar instruments. Subordinated term debts The fair value of fixed rate subordinated debentures has been determined by discounting the future cash flows by the interest rates prevailing as at the reporting date for similar instruments. The carrying values of assets and liabilities listed below are reasonable approximation of their fair values since, those are short term in nature or re-priced to current market rates frequently: Assets Liabilities Cash and cash equivalents Due to banks Balances with Central Bank of Sri Lanka Securities sold under repurchase agreements Placements with banks Other borrowings Securities purchased under resale agreements Dividends payable Other financial assets Other financial liabilities 7 GROSS INCOME ACCOUNTING POLICY Gross revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

204. Notes to the Financial Statements 8 NET INTEREST INCOME ACCOUNTING POLICY Interest income and expenses under SLFRS 9 is recorded using the effective interest rate method for all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and financial instruments designated at FVTPL and FVOCI . The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. The effective interest rate (and therefore, the amortised cost of the asset) is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The Group recognises interest income using a rate of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the loan. The calculation includes all fees and points received or paid between parties to the contract, that are an integral part of effective interest rate.  Once the recorded value of a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognised, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Bank Group 2021 2020 2021 2020 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Interest income [Note 8 (a)] 98,600,557 103,944,602 107,407,723 112,825,455 Interest expense [Note 8 (b)] 49,041,200 59,235,456 50,945,355 61,988,268 Net interest income 49,559,357 44,709,146 56,462,368 50,837,187 For the year ended 31st December 8 (a) Interest income ACCOUNTING POLICY The Group calculates interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than credit-impaired assets. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired (as set out in Note 31(c) ii to the financial statements) and is, therefore, regarded as Stage 3, the Group calculates interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost of the financial asset. If the financial asset cures (as outlined in Note 31 (c) ii to the financial statements) and is no longer credit-impaired, the Bank reverts to calculating interest income on a gross amortised cost basis. Group ceases the recognition of interest income on assets which are collectively impaired, (over 90 days past due) when it is probable that the economic benefits associated will not continue to flow to the Bank. For Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired (POCI) financial assets (as set out in Note 31 (b) ii to the financial statements), the Group calculates interest income by calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate and applying that rate to the amortised cost of the asset. The credit-adjusted effective interest rate is the interest rate that, at original recognition, discounts the estimated future cash flows (including credit losses) to the amortised cost of the POCI assets. Interest income on all trading assets and financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at FVTPL is recognised using the contractual interest rate. 202 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

If a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw down of a loan, then the related loan commitment fee is recognised on a  straight line basis over the commitment period.  Other fees and commission income are recognised as follows; • Fee and commission income earned from services that are provided over a certain period of time are accrued over that period. Fees for guarantees and trade related commissions are recognised on a straight line basis over the period of contract. • Fee and commission income from providing transaction services are recognised as and when the services are performed. Other fees and commission expenses are mainly related to transaction and service fees that are expensed as and when the services are received. A contract with a customer that results in a recognising a  financial instrument in the Group’s financial statements may be partially in the scope of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard SLFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and partially within the scope of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard SLFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. In such a scenario, the Group first applies SLFRS 9 to such  separate contract and measure the part of the contract that is in the scope of SLFRS 9 and then applies SLFRS 15 to the residual. 204 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

Notes to the Financial Statements 12 NET INSURANCE PREMIUM INCOME ACCOUNTING POLICY • Life insurance business   Gross written premium on life insurance contracts are recognised as revenue when a premium is due from a policyholder (policies within the 30-day grace period are considered as due). Premiums received in advance are not recorded as revenue but recorded as liability until the premium is due unless otherwise the relevant policy conditions require such premiums to be recognised as revenue. Benefits and expenses are provided against such revenue to recognise profits over the estimated life of the policies. For single premium business, revenue is recognised on the date on which the policy is effective. • Non-life insurance business  Gross written premium on non-life insurance comprise the total premiums received/receivable for the whole period of cover provided by contracts entered into during the accounting period. Premium is generally recognised upon the inception of the policy as written and are earned primarily on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related policy coverage. • Reinsurance premiums   Gross reinsurance premiums on insurance contracts are recognised as an expense on the earlier of the date when premiums are payable or when the policy becomes effective. Value of the reinsurance premiums are decided based on rates agreed with reinsurers. • Net change in reserve for unearned premium  Gross Written Premium (GWP) of general business is deferred over the term of the underlying policies’ risk attached period according to the Regulation of Insurance Industry Act No. 43 of 2000 and subsequent amendments there to, Unearned premiums are the proportion of premiums that relate to the period of risk after the respective reporting period. Group uses 1/24th basis to defer the GWP of all policies except for the marine insurance policies and title insurance policies, where marine insurance premiums are deferred based on 60 : 40 basis and total premiums on title insurance are transferred to reserve for title insurance for the reporting period. Similarly reinsurance premiums attached to those policies are also deferred over the policies risk attached period using the same basis as mentioned above. Further, title insurance reserve is maintained based on the net transfer of net written premium after deducting acquisition cost and profit recognised during that period.

219. 21 INCOME TAX EXPENSE   ACCOUNTING POLICY Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent it relates to items recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), in which case it is recognised in OCI. The Group applied IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatment” (IFRIC 23) in determination of taxable profit, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates when there is uncertainty over the income tax treatment. However, the application of IFRIC 23 did not have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Group to provide additional disclosures in the financial statements. Current Tax Current tax assets and liabilities consist of amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities in respect of the current year as well as any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted on the reporting date.  Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity, is recognised in equity and not in the income statement. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns, with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.  Management has used its judgement on the application of tax law including transfer pricing regulation involving identification of associated undertaking, estimation of respective arm’s length prices and selection of appropriate pricing mechanism. Deferred Tax   Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: • When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  • Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses (if any), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the unused tax credits and unused tax losses carried forward can be utilised except; • When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date, and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised directly in equity are also recognised in equity, through other comprehensive income and not in the income statement. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Temporary differences in relation to a right- of- use assets and lease liability for leases are regarded as net package (operating lease rights) for the purpose of recognising deferred tax. Accordingly, provision for taxation is made on the basis of the accounting profit for the year as adjusted for taxation purposes in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Inland Revenue Act. In estimating the provision for taxation, the Group had applied the provisions of Inland Revenue Act No. 24 of 2017 and the amendments thereto. 217 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
220. Notes to the Financial Statements 21 INCOME TAX EXPENSE (Contd.) ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Current Taxation The Group is subject to income tax and judgement is required to determine the total provision for current, deferred and other taxes due to the uncertainties that exist with respect to interpretation of the applicability of tax laws, at the time of preparation of these financial statements. Uncertainties also exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships and the long term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense amounts that were initially recorded and deferred tax amounts in the period in which the determination is made. Group has evaluated these uncertainties in terms of IFRIC 23 ‘’Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatment’’. The deferred tax liabilities/assets are disclosed under Note 40 to the financial statements. 21 (a) Current Income Tax Expense Bank For the year ended 31st December Current tax on profit for the year Effect of changes in tax rate Group 2021 2020 2021 2020 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 7,374,515 5,745,249 7,932,077 6,307,827 (820,750) - (869,702) - (551,100) - (611,984) (4,439) 6,002,665 5,745,249 6,450,391 6,303,388 2021 2020 2021 2020 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Origination / (reversal) of temporary difference during the year (411,070) 106,468 (835,158) (415,571) Effect of changes in tax rate (310,327) - (367,407) - (721,397) 106,468 (1,202,565) (415,571) Reversal / (origination) of temporary difference during the year (3,801,401) (2,233,173) (3,522,815) (1,969,756) Effect of changes in tax rate 1,045,393 - 1,244,211 - (2,756,008) (2,233,173) (2,278,604) (1,969,756) (3,477,405) (2,126,705) (3,481,169) (2,385,327) Over provision in previous years 21 (b) Deferred Tax Expense Bank For the year ended 31st December Group Deferred Tax Liability Deferred Tax Asset Total income tax expense [Note 21 (e)] 218 2,525,260 3,618,544 2,969,222 3,918,061 Effective tax rate 12.74% 23.99% 12.88% 22.29% Effective tax rate (excluding deferred tax) 30.28% 38.10% 27.98% 35.85% HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

The Inland Revenue (Amendment) Act No. 10 of 2021 was passed in Parliament and certified by the Speaker on 13th May 2021. Both income tax and deferred tax provisions for the year ended 31st December 2020 were calculated at the rate of 28% on the basis that the said amendment was not considered to be ‘’substantively enacted’’ as per LKAS 12 as at 31st December 2020. The new tax rates disclosed below have been considered to be substantively enacted as at the reporting date for the computation of current and deferred tax for the year ended 31st December 2021. Further, the Group reassessed the current tax liability for 2020 and the net deferred tax asset outstanding as at 31st December 2020 at 24% during the year 2021. The said reassessment resulted in a reversal of Rs 820 Mn from the income tax provision for the year 2020. Further, the reversal of net deferred tax asset as at 31st December 2020 resulted in a charge of Rs 735 Mn to the income statement and a reversal of Rs 620 Mn to the other comprehensive income.

230. Notes to the Financial Statements 29 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS            ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policy pertaining to derivative financial instruments has been given in Note 3.3 and 3.4 to the financial statements. A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following characteristics: • Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract (i.e. the ‘underlying’).  • It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors. • It is settled at a future date.  The Bank uses derivatives such as forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps. Bank has not designated any derivative as a hedging instrument and has not followed hedge accounting as at the reporting date. All derivatives are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value, with revaluation gains or losses recognised in the income statement under “Net gain/(loss) from trading” (Note 10). Derivatives are recorded at fair value and carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Fair value is determined using the forward market rates ruling on the reporting date. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS  Judgement is required when the Bank/Group  selects the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of derivatives, particularly the selection of valuation inputs that are not readily observable, and the application of valuation adjustments to certain derivatives.  The table below shows the fair values of derivative financial instruments, recorded as assets or liabilities.

231. 30 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS       ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policy pertaining to financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss has been given in Note 3.3 and 3.4 to the financial statements. A financial asset is classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets held for trading The Group classifies financial assets as held for trading in the following circumstances. • Those have been purchased or acquired primarily for short-term profit making through trading activities; or • Those form part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking Financial assets held for trading are measured and recorded at fair value in the statement of financial position. Changes in fair value are recognised in “net gain/(loss) from trading” (Note 10). Interest income from financial assets held for trading is recorded in “Interest income” and dividend income is recorded in “net gain/(loss) from trading” (Note 10) according to the terms of the contract, or when the right to receive the payment has been established.  Financial assets held for trading include instruments such as government securities, equity instruments etc. that have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.  Further as per SLFRS 9, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include all financial assets other than those classified as fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at amortised cost. Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss The Group has not designated any financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS  Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of trading securities not valued using quoted market prices.  2021 2020 Fair Value Fair Value Rs 000 Rs 000 Quoted shares - Bank  [Note 30 (a)] 103,365 84,499 Total financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - Bank [Note 30 (e)] 103,365 84,499 Quoted shares - Subsidiaries [Note 30 (b)] 218,466 151,410 Government of Sri Lanka treasury bonds - Subsidiaries [Note 30 (c)] 347,225 16,224 As at 31st December Unquoted units in unit trusts - Subsidiaries [Note 30 (d)] 193,585 842,694 Total financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - Subsidiaries 759,276 1,010,328 Total financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - Group [Note 30 (e)] 862,641 1,094,827 229 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

235. 31 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS     ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policy pertaining to financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers has been given in Note 3.3 and 3.4 to the financial statements. Financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers include loans and advances and lease receivables of the Group. As per SLFRS 9, loans and advances to customers are assets that are; • Held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows, that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), less allowance for impairment except when the Group designates loans and receivables at fair value through profit or loss. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortisation is included in ‘interest income’ in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in ‘impairment charge for loans and other losses’ in the income statement.

237. COVID-19 Repayment Deferral Packages Offered to Customers The Group has offered various forms of assistance to customers since March 2020 , to counteract the impact of COVID-19 on the ability of customers to meet their loan obligations based on the guidelines given by Central Bank of Sri Lanka and as part of Bank’s own initiatives. The details of the impact of deferrals when determining whether there has been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) has been discussed in key judgements and assumptions section in Note 31 (f) to the financial statements . The loan repayment deferral package/moratorium is considered to be a loan modification under SLFRS 9.  In addition, the Bank offered working capital loan arrangements under concessionary rates as per the circulars issued by Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). Identification and Measurment of Impairment of Financial Assets Overview of the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Principles ACCOUNTING POLICY The Group records an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) allowance for all loans and other debt securities not measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), together with loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts which are commonly referred to as “financial instruments” in accordance with SLFRS 9. The Group recognises loss allowances for ECL on the following financial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL: - Cash and cash equivalents - Placements with banks - Financial assets measured at amortised cost - loans and advances to customers - Financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments - Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts Equity instruments are not subject to impairment losses under SLFRS 9. 31 (b) Overview of the Expected Credit Loss Principles The Group measures, Expected Credit Loss (ECL) allowances based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected credit loss or LTECL), unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on the 12 months expected credit loss (12mECL). The 12mECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs resulting from default events of a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The Group’s policies for determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk are set out in Note 31 (c) i to the financial statements. LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated either on an individual basis or on collective basis, depending on the nature of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments. 235 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
238. Notes to the Financial Statements 31 31 ( b) i FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS (Contd.) Grouping of Financial Assets for Impairment Assessment The Group’s policy for grouping financial assets for impairment assessment are as follows. • Individually assessed loans and advances and debt instruments  These are exposures that are individually significant meriting individual assessment for objective evidence of impairment and computation of impairment allowance. The Group calculates ECL on an individual basis for corporate and SME exposures identified as individually significant loans and investments in debt instruments. In respect of all loans that are considered individually significant, Bank assesses on a case by case basis, whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. The criteria used by the Bank to determine that there is such objective evidence include the following inter alia; - significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer; - a breach of contract such as a default or past due event; - the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Bank on terms that the Bank would not consider otherwise; - it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or - the absence of an active market for a security • Collective Impairment assessment Loans and advances that have been assessed individually and not attracting individual impairment provisions and all individually insignificant loans and advances are then assessed collectively, by categorising those into groups of assets with similar credit risk characteristics, to determine whether a provision should be made due to expected loss events. These exposures are grouped into smaller homogeneous portfolios, based on product type and customer segment etc. 31 (b) ii The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following, for which they are measured as 12-month ECL: - debt investment securities that are determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date; and - other financial instruments of which credit risk has not increased significantly since their initial recognition The Group has an established policy in place to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. As per SLFRS 9, a three stage model is adopted for impairment measurement based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. 236 Stage Classification Criteria ECL measurement Stage 1 Financial assets that are not originally credit impaired on initial recognition 12 months expected credit loss Stage 2 Financial assets where a significant increase in credit risk is observed since origination Life time expected credit loss Stage 3 Financial assets which are credit impaired Life time expected credit loss with probability of default at 100% POCI Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired assets (POCI) are financial assets which are credit impaired on initial recognition. These assets are categorised within stage 3 and expected credit loss is only recognised or released to the extent that there is a subsequent change in expected credit loss HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
239. 31 (c) Factors considered in the Assessment of Expected Credit Losses 31 (c) i Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) The Group considers an exposure to have a significantly increased credit risk when contractual payments of a customer are more than 30 days past due in accordance with rebuttable presumption in SLFRS 9. The Group individually reviews at each reporting date, loans and advances above a predefined threshold to identify whether the credit risk has increased significantly since origination, before an exposure is in default. Such indicators include the following inter alia: • When reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions directly affect the performance of a customer/group of customers, portfolios or instruments. • When there is a significant change in the geographical locations or natural catastrophes that directly impact the performance of a customer/group of customers or an instrument; • When the value of collateral is significantly reduced and/or realisability of collateral is doubtful. • When a customer is subject to litigation, that significantly affects the performance of the credit facility. • Frequent changes in the senior management of an institutional customer. • Delay in the commencement of business operations/projects by more than two years from the originally agreed date. • Modification of terms resulting in concessions, including extensions, deferment of payments, waiver of covenants. • When the customer is deceased/insolvent. • When the bank is unable to contact or find the customer. • A fall of 50% or more in the turnover and/or profit before tax of the customer when compared to the previous year • Erosion in net-worth by more than 25% when compared to the previous year Credit facilities/exposures which have one or more of the above indicators are treated as facilities with significant increase in credit risk and assessed accordingly in ECL computations. The Group regularly monitors, the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify significant increase in credit risk to confirm that the criteria is capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before an exposure is in default. • COVID-19 initiatives In respect of facilities subject to the COVID-19 repayment deferral arrangements, an assessment of SICR has been carried out based on various factors such as the customer’s current financial position, future earnings capacity, whether the customer has availed the COVID-19 repayment deferral arrangements over an extended period of time and the sectors in which the customers operate based on which the facilities are categorised into risk categories. SICR is then determined based on the resulting risk categorisation. Based on the risk categorisation, facilities have been stress tested and required overlays have been made. 31 (c) ii Definition of Default and Credit Impaired Assets The Group generally considers financial assets as defaulted and therefore assessed in Stage 3 (as credit-impaired) for ECL calculations when: • The borrower is unlikely to pay its obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or The borrower becomes 90 days past due on its contractual payments. In addition, the Group classifies the financial investments under Stage 3 when the external credit rating assigned to the particular investment is “default”. In assessing whether a borrower is in default, Group reviews its individually significant loans and advances above a predefined threshold at each reporting date. The Group considers customers with one or more of the indicators set out in Note 31 (c) i as credit impaired. Further as per Guidelines to Licensed Banks on the Adoption of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 9 : “Financial Instruments” issued by Central Bank of Sri lanka, all the credit facilities/customers classified as non-performing as per Central Bank of Sri Lanka Directions are assessed as Stage 3 exposures. 237 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
240. Notes to the Financial Statements 31 31 (c) iii FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS (Contd.) Modified Financial Assets The Group sometimes makes concessions or modifications to the original terms of loans as response to the borrower’s financial difficulties, rather than taking possession or to otherwise enforce collection of collateral. The Group considers a loan to be rescheduled when such concessions or modifications are provided as a result of the borrower’s present or expected financial difficulties and the Group would not have agreed to them if the borrower had been financially healthy. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, any impairment is measured using the original EIR as calculated before the modification of terms. De-recognition decisions and classification between Stage 2 and Stage 3 are determined on a case-by-case basis. If these procedures identify a loss in relation to a loan, it is disclosed and managed as an impaired Stage 3 asset until it is collected or written off. When the loan has been renegotiated or modified but not de-recognised, a reassessment is made whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, as set out in Note 31 (d) i to the financial statements. Accordingly, all rescheduled loans are classified as Stage 3 unless upgraded due to satisfactory performing period as specified in the Banking Act Directions. Further loans which have been restructured up to two times unless upgraded due to satisfactory performing period as specified in “Guidelines to Licensed Banks on the Adoption of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 9 : Financial Instruments” issued by Central Bank of Sri Lanka are classified as Stage 2 while such loans which have been restructured more than two times are classified as Stage 3. 31 (d) Movement between the Stages Financial assets can be transferred between the different categories (other than POCI) depending on their relative change in credit risk since initial recognition. Financial instruments are transferred out of Stage 2 if their credit risk is no longer considered to be significantly increased since initial recognition based on the assessment described above. Financial instruments are transferred out of Stage 3 when they no longer exhibit any evidence of credit impairment as described above. Further restructured facilities are considered as “cured” once a satisfactory performing period of a minimum 90 days subsequent to the first capital and/or interest instalment post-restructure is in place, while upgrading of rescheduled facilities are carried out in accordance with the Banking Act Directions No 3/4 of 2008 on “Classification of Loans and Advances, Income Recognition and Provisioning”. 31 (e) Assessment of Expected Credit Losses on Financial Assets The Group calculates ECLs based on probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The key elements of ECL computations are, as follows: Probability of Default (PD): The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligations. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously de-recognised and is still in the portfolio. The Group estimates the Probability of Default (PD) based on historical information with regard to delinquency of loans and advances. In this process historical information pertaining to 3-6 years have been used depending on the nature of the product. Exposure at Default (EAD): The exposure at default represents the expected exposure in the event of a default. The Group estimates EAD, taking into account the repayment of principal and interest from the reporting date to the default event together with any expected drawdowns of committed facilities. To calculate the EAD for a Stage 1 loan, the Group assesses the possible default events within 12 months. For Stage 2, Stage 3 and POCI financial assets, the exposure at default is considered for events over the lifetime of the instruments. Loss Given Default (LGD): The loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Group would expect to receive, including from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The Group segments its lending portfolio into homogeneous portfolios, based on key characteristics that are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows. The loss given default is estimated based on historically collected loss data and is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The calculation of ECLs, including the estimation of the expected period of exposure and discount rate is made on an individual basis for individually significant loans and on a collective basis for other loans. The collective assessments are made separately for portfolios of facilities with similar credit risk characteristics. 238 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
241. • Revolving facilities The Group’s product offering includes a variety of corporate, SME and retail overdraft and credit card facilities. The Group reviews the sanction limits at least annually and therefore has the right to cancel and/or reduce the limits. Group calculates only the 12 month ECL (12mECL) allowance on these facilities to reflect the Group’s expectations of the customer behaviour, likelihood of default and the Bank’s future risk mitigation procedures, which could include reducing or cancelling the facilities. The EAD is arrived by taking the maximum of either sanctioned limit adjusted for Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) and the gross carrying amount of the loan (utilised amount). The ongoing assessment of whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for revolving facilities is similar to other lending products. This is based on shifts in the customer’s delinquency • Undrawn loan commitments When estimating life time ECL (LTECLs) for undrawn loan commitments, the Group estimates the expected portion of the loan commitment that will be drawn down over its expected life. The ECL is then assessed based on the present value of the expected shortfalls in cash flows if the loan is drawn down. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted at an approximation to the expected EIR on the loan. The ECL component for loan commitments, letters of credit and acceptances is recognised within “other liabilities”. • Financial guarantee contracts The Group estimates ECLs for financial guarantee contracts based on the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs. The shortfalls are discounted by the risk adjusted interest rate relevant to the exposure. The ECL component related to the financial guarantee contracts are recognised within “other liabilities”. • Recognition of expected credit loss provisions on government securities Bank does not recognise impairment provisions in respect of Rupee denominated government securities while recognition of impairment on foreign currency denominated government securities is determined based on the applicable exposure at default, probability of default and loss given default. • Debt instruments measured at fair value through OCI The ECLs for debt instruments measured at FVOCI do not reduce the carrying amount of these financial assets in the statement of financial position, which remains at fair value. Instead, an amount equal to the allowance that would arise if the assets were measured at amortised cost is recognised in OCI as an accumulated impairment charge, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss. The accumulated loss recognised in OCI is recycled to the profit or loss upon de-recognition of the assets. Forward looking information • Forward Looking Information The Group incorporates forward looking information into both its assessment as to whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition and its measurement of ECL. When estimating the ECLs, the Group considers three economic scenarios (base case, best case and worse case). Quantitative economic factors are based on economic data and forecasts published by Central Bank of Sri Lanka. In its ECL models, the Group relies on a broad range of forward looking information as economic inputs, such as: Quantitative factors Qualitative factors GDP growth Government policies Inflation Status of industry/business Interest rate Regulatory impact Unemployment rates Exchange rate 239 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
242. Notes to the Financial Statements 31 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS (Contd.) • Reversal of Impairment If the amount of an impairment loss decreases in a subsequent period, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the excess is written back to the profit or loss by reducing the impairment allowance accordingly. • Write-off of financial assets Loans and debt securities are written off (either partially or in full) when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. This assessment is carried out at individual asset level. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Bank’s procedures for recovery of amounts due. • Regulation issued by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) Since the outbreak of COVID – 19, CBSL issued various circulars relating to moratorium/debt relief credit support to customers and industries through schemes offered by the Government to support recovery of the economy. Bank has taken into account these circulars in the recognition of interest income, stage wise classification of facilities and computation of expected credit loss. 31 (f) ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The measurement of impairment losses under Sri Lanka Accounting Standard SLFRS 9 - “Financial Instruments” (SLFRS 9) requires judgement across all categories of financial assets, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors, changes of which can result in different levels of impairment allowances. The Group’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) calculations are the outputs of complex models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered for accounting judgements and estimates include: • the Group’s criteria for assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk as a result of which allowances for financial assets should be measured on a Life Time Expected Credit Loss (LTECL) basis • the segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective basis. • the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology, noting that the modelling of the Group’s ECL estimates are complex; and • the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs. The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impact of COVID-19 and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, the Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates. The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions used by the Bank in relation to the ECL model inputs, and the interdependencies between those inputs. 240 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
243. Judgement / Assumption Description Considerations for the year ended 31st December 2021 Determining when a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) has occurred In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved in setting the rules and trigger points to determine whether there has been a SICR since initial recognition of a loan, which would result in the financial asset moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This is a key area of judgement since transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2 increases the ECL from 12 month ECL to life time ECL. In response to the impacts of COVID-19, various moratorium/debt concessionary schemes have been offered to eligible customers. When a customer is first provided with assistance the Group does not consider that it automatically results in a SICR and a consequent impact on ECL when assessing provisions. Subsequent to take-up, assessments have been carried out based on the discussions with the customers on the future business cash flows, financial position, the sectors in which the businesses operate and ability to recommence loan repayments at the end of the moratorium/debt concessionary period to conclude whether there is a SICR. Measuring 12 month expected credit losses and lifetime expected credit losses The Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD) credit risk parameters used in determining ECL are point-in-time measures reflecting the relevant forward looking information determined by management. Judgement is involved in determining which forward-looking information variables are relevant for particular lending portfolios and for determining each portfolio’s point-in-time sensitivity. The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to the Group’s policy on impairment assessment. In addition, judgement is required where behavioural characteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime of a facility to be used in measuring ECL. There were no material changes to behavioural lifetime estimates during the year ended 31st December 2021. Base case economic forecast The Group derives a forward-looking base case economic scenario which reflects the Bank’s view of the most likely future macro-economic conditions. As at 31 December 2021, the base case assumptions have been updated to reflect the evolving situation with respect to COVID-19 and economic forecasts provided by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. Probability weighting of each economic scenario (base case, best case and worse case scenarios) Probability weighting of each economic scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case economic scenario at each measurement date. The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the continuing impact of COVID-19. There were no material changes to the policies during the year ended 31st December 2021. Due to the implications of moratorium/debt concessionary schemes on PDs and LGDs (due to limited movements to Stage 2 and Stage 3), adjustments have been made as overlays based on stress testing and historic patterns to better reflect the adequacy of ECL. In addition to the base case forecast which reflects the negative economic consequences of COVID-19, greater weightage has been applied to the worse case scenario given the Group’s assessment of downside risks. The assigned probability weightages are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. 241 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
244. Notes to the Financial Statements 31 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - LOANS AND ADVANCES TO CUSTOMERS (Contd.) Management overlay Temporary adjustments to the ECL allowance are used in circumstances where it is judged that the existing inputs, assumptions and model techniques do not capture all the risk factors relevant to Group’s lending portfolios. Emerging local or global macroeconomic, microeconomic or political events, and natural disasters that are not incorporated into the current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-looking information are examples of such circumstances. The use of management overlay may impact the amount of ECL recognised. The uncertainty associated with COVID-19 pandemic, and the extent to which the actions of governments, businesses and consumers mitigate the potentially adverse credit outcomes are not fully incorporated into existing ECL models. Accordingly, management overlays have been applied to ensure credit provisions are appropriate. Management has applied a number of adjustments to the modelled ECL primarily due to the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 and the debt concessions that have been provided.

247. 32 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST - DEBT AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS   ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policy pertaining to financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments has been given in Note 3.3 and 3.4 to the financial statements The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. These conditions are explained in detail in Note 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 to the financial statements. After initial measurement, financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), less allowance for impairment except when the Group designates a financial asset as measured  at fair value through profit or loss. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortisation is included in ‘interest income’ in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in ‘impairment charge for loans and other losses’ in the income statement. These assets are tested for impairment in accordance with the criteria given in Note 31 (b) to the financial statements. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments The Group assesses impairment for financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments in line with the same principles used for assessment of impairment of loans and receivables. The impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost - debt and other financial instruments is disclosed in Note 32 (b) to the financial statements.

255. 33 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME    ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policy pertaining to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income has been given in Note 3.3 and 3.4 to the financial statements Financial assets are classified as Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) when both of the following conditions are met:  • The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates  to cash flows that are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.  Debt instruments measured at FVOCI Debt instruments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in OCI. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses on account of such investments are recognised in profit or loss. Where the Group holds more than one investment in the same security, they are deemed to be disposed of on a first–in first–out basis. On de-recognition, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in OCI are reclassified from OCI to profit or loss. The Expected Credit Loss for debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income do not reduce the carrying amount of the these assets in the statement of financial position, which remains at fair value. Instead an amount equal to the allowance that would arise if the assets were measured at amortised cost is recognised in other comprehensive income as an accumulated impairment amount with a corresponding charge to income statement. The accumulated loss recognised in other comprehensive income is recycled to the profit upon derecognition of the assets. Equity instruments measured at FVOCI  Upon initial recognition, the Group occasionally makes an irrevocable election to classify some of its equity investments as equity instruments measured  at FVOCI when those meet the definition of equity under Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 32 “Financial Instruments - Presentation’’ and are not held for trading. Such classification is determined on an instrument by instrument basis. The FVOCI designation was made because the investments are expected to be held for long term strategic purposes and regulatory nature of investments. None of these investments were disposed during the year. Gains and losses on these equity instruments are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised in profit or loss as other operating income when the right of the payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the instrument, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments measured at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Impairment of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The group assesses impairment for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in line with the same principal used for assessment of impairment of loans and receivables. 253 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

260. Notes to the Financial Statements 34 INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE      ACCOUNTING POLICY Joint venture is a type of joint arrangement, whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group determines joint control, by taking into account similar considerations necessary, to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investment in a joint venture is accounted for, using the equity method and is recognised initially at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to a joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. The income statement reflects Group’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture. Any change in “other comprehensive income” of the joint venture is presented as part of the Group’s “other comprehensive income”. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any such change, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture. The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of a joint venture is shown on the face of the income statement outside operating profit. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is an objective evidence that the investment in joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss in impairment for loans and other losses in the income statement. The Group discontinues the use of equity method from the date that it ceases to have joint control over the joint venture and accounts for the investment in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for financial instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal, is recognised in income statement. The Bank’s investment in joint venture is carried at cost. 34 (a) Investment in unquoted joint venture - Bank As at 31st December 2021 Cost of Fair Value/ % Cost of Fair Value/ Holding Investment Directors’  Holding Investment Directors’  valuation Value Value Acuity Partners (Pvt) Ltd 50 Rs 000 Rs 000 755,000 2,989,600 755,000 258 2020 %  50  valuation Rs 000 Rs 000 755,000 2,634,000 755,000 Bank did not receive any dividend income from Acuity Partners (Pvt) Ltd for the year ended 31st December 2021 (2020 : Rs 50 Mn).

263. 35 INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES         ACCOUNTING POLICY Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect the returns of those investees through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has: • power over the investee • exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee • the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: • the contractual arrangement with other vote holders of the investee • rights arising from other contractual arrangements • the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee, if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the above. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences, until the date that control ceases. Where subsidiaries have been sold or acquired during the year, assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the said subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements, from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.  When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.  Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries, not owned directly or indirectly by the Bank. The non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity attributable to the equity holders of the Bank. Non-controlling interests in the profit or loss of the Group, is disclosed separately in the consolidated income statement.  A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Upon the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control, is recognised in the statement of changes in equity. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for financial instruments depending on the level of influence retained. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Bank in the form of cash dividends or repayment of loans and advances. All subsidiaries of the Bank as at the reporting date, have been incorporated in Sri Lanka. The Bank’s investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Impairment of Investments in Subsidiaries The Bank follows the guidance of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 36 - “Impairment of Assets” in determining whether an investment in subsidiary is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. The Bank evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of a subsidiary is less than its cost and the financial health of the near-term business outlook of the investment or the financial asset, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flows. 261 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

266. Notes to the Financial Statements 36 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES       ACCOUNTING POLICY Basis of Recognition An investment property is recognised, if it is probable that future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the Group and cost of the investment property can be reliably measured.  When a portion of the property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, the Group accounts for the portions separately if these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease). If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is treated as investment property, only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Where the Group provides ancillary services to the occupants of a property it holds, the Group treats such a property as investment property if the services are insignificant to the arrangement as a whole. Measurement An investment property is measured initially at its cost. The cost of a purchased investment property comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. The cost of a self-constructed investment property, is its cost at the date when the construction or development is completed. The Group applies the cost model for investment properties in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 40 on “Investment Property”. Accordingly, land classified as investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and buildings classified as investment properties are stated at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. The Group obtains the services of independent valuers who are not connected with the Bank, in order to determine the fair value of its investment properties annually for disclosure purposes and such fair values have been disclosed as required by Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 40 on “Investment Property”. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the class of asset, from the date of purchase up to the date of disposal. Classes of Assets  % per annum Hatton National Bank PLC   Freehold buildings (Refer Note 36 (a)) 2.50 Sithma Development (Pvt) Ltd   Freehold buildings   - HNB Tower   - Others Plant, Machinery and equipment integral to freehold buildings referred to above 1.00 2.50 20.00 De-recognition Investment properties are de-recognised when disposed of, or permanently withdrawn from use since no future economic benefits are expected. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an investment property are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement. Transfers are made to and from investment properties only when there is a change in use. Investment Property Leased within the Group    Any property leased out to the parent or a subsidiary in full or where the parent or subsidiary occupies a significant portion of such a property, it is considered as owner-occupied from the perspective of the Group and adjustments are made for consolidation purposes. 264 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
267. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS , ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Classification of Investment Properties Management uses its judgment to determine whether a property qualifies as an investment property. The Group has developed criteria so it can exercise its judgement consistently. A property that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, and which generates cash flows largely independent of the other assets held by the Group are accounted for as investment properties. On the other hand, a property that is used for operations or in the process of providing services or for administrative purposes and which do not directly generate cash flows as a standalone asset, are accounted for as property, plant and equipment. The Group assesses on an annual basis, the accounting classification of its properties, taking into consideration the current use of such properties. Useful Life Time of Investment Properties The Group reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of investment properties at each reporting date. Management exercises judgement in the estimation of these values, rates, methods and hence those are subject to uncertainty.

272. Notes to the Financial Statements 37 PROPERTY , PLANT AND EQUIPMENT   ACCOUNTING POLICY Basis of Recognition Property, plant and equipment are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Group and cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Measurement An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset is initially measured at its cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and cost incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which those are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of computer equipment. When parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, those are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Cost Model The Group applies cost model to property, plant and equipment except for freehold land and buildings and records at cost of purchase or construction together with any incidental expenses thereon, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Revaluation Model The Group applies the revaluation model to the entire class of freehold land and buildings. Such properties are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss. Freehold land and buildings of the Group are revalued at least once in every three years on a roll over basis, to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from the fair values at the reporting date. On revaluation of an asset, any increase in the carrying amount is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, under capital reserve, or used to reverse a previous revaluation decrease relating to the same asset, which was charged to the income statement. In this circumstance, the increase is recognised as income to the extent of the previous write down. Any decrease in the carrying amount is recognised as an expense in the income statement or debited in the other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the capital reserve in respect of that asset. The decrease recognised in other comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity under capital reserves. Any balance remaining in the revaluation reserve in respect of an asset, is transferred directly to retained earnings on retirement or disposal of the asset. Reclassification as Investment Property  When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is re-measured to fair value and reclassified as an investment property. Any gain arising on re-measurement, is recognised in the income statement to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining gain recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in revaluation reserve in equity. Any loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. Subsequent Costs    The subsequent cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within that part will flow to the Group and its cost can be reliably measured. The costs of day to day servicing of property, plant and equipment are charged to the income statement as incurred. Costs incurred in using or redeploying an item, is not included under carrying amount of an item. De-recognition The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the de-recognition of an item of property, plant and equipment which is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the net disposal proceeds, is included in the income statement when the item is de-recognised.   When replacement costs are recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the remaining carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised. Major inspection costs are capitalised. At each such capitalisation, the remaining carrying amount of the previous cost of inspections is de-recognised. 270 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
273. Depreciation     The Group provides depreciation from the date the assets are available for use up to the date of disposal. The assets are depreciated at the following rates on a straight line basis over the periods appropriate to the estimated useful lives, based on the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group other than disclosed separately. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale or the date that the asset is de-recognised. Depreciation does not cease when the assets become idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated.  Hatton National Bank PLC and its Subsidiary Companies (except for Sithma Development (Pvt) Ltd) Class of Asset  Freehold buildings  % per annum  2.50 Motor vehicles  25.00 Computer equipment  16.67 Office equipment  20.00 Furniture and fittings  10.00 Fixtures  10.00 Sithma Development (Pvt) Ltd Class of Asset  % per annum  Generators, generator panels and associated power cables  2.00 Chillers, cooling towers and associated equipment  4.00 Lifts and escalators 4.00 Building management systems  4.00 Plant and machinery  20.00 Equipment  20.00 Furniture and fittings 10.00 Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Capital Work-in-Progress   These are expenses of a capital nature directly incurred in the construction of buildings and major plant and machinery awaiting capitalisation. Capital work-in-progress would be transferred to the relevant asset when it is available for use i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset have been capitalised as part of the cost of the asset in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 23 on “Borrowing Costs”. A qualifying asset is an asset which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are completed. Other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they incur. 271 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
274. Notes to the Financial Statements 37 PROPERTY , PLANT AND EQUIPMENT  (Contd.) ASSUMPTIONS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES Fair value of freehold land and buildings The freehold land and buildings of the Group are reflected at fair value. The Group engages independent valuers to determine the fair value of freehold land and buildings in terms of Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 13 on “Fair Value Measurement”. The methods used to determine the fair value of the freehold land and buildings, are further explained in Note 37 (d) to the financial statements. Useful Life Time of Property, Plant and Equipment The Group reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date. Management exercises judgement in the estimation of these values, rates, methods and hence those are subject to uncertainty.

Significant increase/(decrease) in estimated price per perch, price per sq.ft and depreciation rate would result in a significantly higher/(lower) fair value. Market comparable method Market comparable method considers the selling price of a similar property within a reasonable period of time in determining the fair value of the property being revalued. This involves evaluation of recent active market prices of similar assets, making appropriate adjustment for differences in size, nature, location and condition of the specific property. In this process, outlier transactions indicative of particularly motivated buyers or sellers are compensated for, since the price may not adequately reflect the fair market value. Investment method This method involves the capitalisation of the expected rental income at an appropriate rate of years purchased currently characterised by the real estate market. Significant increase/(decrease) in rent per sq.ft, outgoing expenses and number of years since purchase would result in a significantly higher/ (lower) fair value.  280 The fair values of the Group’s freehold land and buildings are determined by independent valuers at least once in every three years according to the Group’s policy. During the year the fair values of the Group’s freehold land and buildings were determined by independent valuers as per the Group’s policy to revalue the freehold land and buildings at least once in every three years.  HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

284. Notes to the Financial Statements 38 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS ACCOUNTING POLICY In accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS -16 “Lease” Group accounts for all lease hold rights except for short term leases, which are held for use in the provision of services. At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is a lease 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. • Group acting as a lessee At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates consideration of the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative standalone price. However, for leases of branches and office premises the Group has elected not to separate non-lease component and accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove any improvements made to branches or office premises. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. 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 commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by analysing its borrowings from various external sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of asset leased. 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 Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group 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. The Group presents right-of-use assets in the face of the “statement of financial position” and lease liabilities within “other liabilities” in the statement of financial position. • Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets  The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including leases of IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. • Group acting as a lessor  At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices. When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether the lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.  The Group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in SLFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The Group further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease. The details of lease receivables which comprise of finance leases where the group acts as the lessor, are disclosed in note 31 of financial statements. 282 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
285. • Leases as lessee The Bank leases a number of branch and office premises. For some leases, payments are renegotiated every five years to reflect market rentals. Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are based on changes in local price indices. The leases on branch and office premises were entered in to many years ago and previously, these leases were classified as operating leases under LKAS 17. Information about leases for which the Bank is a lessee is presented below. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liability The Group uses its judgment to determine whether an operating lease contract qualifies for recognition of right-of-use assets. The Group applies judgements in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic benefit for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. Further, the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure operating lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and with similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in similar economic environment. 38 (a) Movement in Right-of-use Assets Bank Group 2021 2020 2021 2020 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 Rs 000 6,885,017 6,180,287 3,153,030 2,173,638 - - 64,187 - Cost Balance as at 1st January  Acquisition of subsidiary through HNB Finance PLC Additions/renewals of operating leases during the year 944,018 807,306 1,106,814 1,123,355 Expiration of operating lease agreements during the year (117,360) (102,576) (167,117) (143,963) 7,711,675 6,885,017 4,156,914 3,153,030 1,528,149 697,609 1,325,198 602,319 Balance as at 31st December Accumulated amortisation Balance as at 1st January Acquisition of subsidiary through HNB Finance PLC Amortisation for the year [Note 18 (b)] - 40,819 - 830,540 660,093 757,405 - - (47,098) (34,526) Balance as at 31st December 2,272,291 1,528,149 1,979,012 1,325,198 Carrying value as at 31st December 5,439,384 5,356,868 2,177,902 1,827,832 Depreciation on disposals 744,142 The operating lease liabilities are presented under Note 51 to the financial statements.

Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or a significant change in circumstances within its control. 38 (h) Leases as Lessor The details of maturity analysis of finance lease receivables have been provided in Note 61 to the financial statements. 39 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL   ACCOUNTING POLICY Basis of Recognition An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. An intangible asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. (a) Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at initial recognition in accordance with Note 3.1.1 to the financial statements. Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss in such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of equity accounted investee. Any gain on bargain purchase is recognised immediately in the income statement. (b) Software All computer software costs incurred, licensed for use by the Group, which are not integrally related to associated hardware, which can be clearly identified, reliably measured and it’s probable that those will lead to future economic benefits, are included in the statement of financial position under the category “intangible assets” and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (c) License The amount that would be required to obtain a license to operate a registered finance business is recognised as license in the financial statements Subsequent expenditure Expenditure incurred on software is capitalised, only when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance and this expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. Goodwill Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss in such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of equity accounted investee. Amortisation The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or infinite. Intangible assets, with finite lives, are amortised on a straight line basis in the income statement from the date when the asset is available for use, over the best estimate of the useful economic life based on a pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed by the Bank/Group. 285 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021
288. Notes to the Financial Statements 39 INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (Contd.) The estimated amortisation rates are as follows Class of Asset % per annum Computer software 16.67 Those assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Expenditure on an intangible item that was initially recognised as an expense by the Group in previous annual financial statements or interim financial statements are not recognised as part of the cost of an intangible asset at a later date. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Goodwill and intangible assets with infinite useful lives are not amortised, but are assessed for impairment annually. The assessment of infinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the infinite life continues to be supportable. De-recognition An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and subsequent disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Impairment of Goodwill The Group estimates the value in use of the Cash Generating Units (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated in order to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Useful Life Time of Intangible Assets The Group reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of intangible assets at each reporting date.

299. 49 INSURANCE PROVISION - LIFE   The insurance provision-life represents the life fund of the subsidiary HNB Assurance PLC, which is carrying out life insurance business.  ACCOUNTING POLICY Insurance Provision - Life Insurance Life insurance liabilities are recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged. These liabilities are measured by using a prospective actuarial valuation method. The liability is determined as the sum of the present value of future benefits, the expected future management and distribution expenses, less the present value of future gross premiums arising from the policy discounted at the appropriate discount rate as specified by the Insurance Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka. The liability is based on best estimate assumptions and with due regard to significant recent experience. An appropriate allowance for provision of risk margin for adverse deviation from expected experience is included in the valuation. Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) As required by Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 4 - “Insurance Contracts”, the entity performed a Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) in respect of life insurance contract liabilities with the assistance of an external actuary. In performing the LAT, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows, including related cash flows such as claims handling and policy administration expenses, policyholder options and guarantees, as well as investment income from assets backing such liabilities, are used. Number of valuation techniques are applied including discounting cash flow, interest rate applied is based on the management’s expectation of current market interest rates. The liability value is adjusted to the extent that it is sufficient to meet future benefits and expenses. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Valuation of Life Insurance Contract Liabilities of Subsidiary, HNB Assurance PLC (HNBA) The liability for life insurance contracts with Discretionary Participation Features (DPF) is either based on current assumptions or on assumptions established at the inception of the contract, reflecting the best estimate at the time, increased with a margin for risk and adverse deviation. All contracts are subject to a liability adequacy test, which reflect management’s best current estimate of future cash flows. The main assumptions used relate to mortality, morbidity, longevity, investment returns, expenses, lapse and surrender rates and discount rates. For those contracts that insure risk related to longevity, prudent allowance is made for expected future mortality improvements, as well as wide ranging changes to lifestyle, which could result in significant changes to the expected future mortality exposure. Estimates are also made as to future investment income arising from the assets backing the life insurance contracts. These estimates are based on current market returns, as well as expectations about future economic and financial developments. Assumptions on future expenses are based on current expense levels, adjusted for expected expense inflation, if appropriate. Lapse and surrender rates are based on the Group’s historical experience of lapses and surrenders. Discount rates are based on current industry risk rates for the non-participating products, whereas it is the expected fund yield of par fund for the policies with discretionary participating benefit.

301. 50 INSURANCE PROVISION - NON LIFE   The  insurance provision non life balance represents the non life fund of subsidiary HNB General Insurance Limited which is carrying out general insurance business.  ACCOUNTING POLICY Insurance Provision – Non Life Insurance Non life insurance contract liabilities are recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are charged.  These liabilities comprise claims liabilities and premium liabilities. Claims Liabilities Claims liabilities are recognised in respect of both with reinsurance and without reinsurance. Claims liabilities refer to the obligation by the insurance company, whether contractual or otherwise to make future payments in relation to all claims that have been incurred as at valuation date. These include provision for claims reported, claims Incurred But Not Reported (“IBNR”) together with related claims handling costs. Claims liabilities consist of the best estimate value of the claim liabilities and the Provision of Risk Margin for Adverse Deviation (PRAD) calculated at line of business level. Premium Liabilities Premium liabilities is the higher of the aggregate of the Unearned Premium Reserve (UPR) and the best estimate value of the insurer’s Unexpired Risk Reserves (URR) at the valuation date and the Provision of Risk Margins for Adverse Deviation (PRAD) calculated at line of business level. The provision for unearned premiums represents premiums received for risks that have not yet expired. Generally, the reserve is released over the term of the contract and is recognised as premium income. Group uses 1/24th basis to defer the gross written premium of all policies, except for the marine insurance policies and title insurance policies, where marine insurance premiums are deferred based on 60:40 basis and title insurance premiums are transferred to reserves for title insurance for reporting period. Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) As required by Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - SLFRS 4 on “Insurance Contracts”, the entity performed a Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) in respect of general insurance contract liabilities with the assistance of an external actuary.  Title Insurance Reserve    Title insurance reserve is maintained by the Group to pay potential claims arising from the title insurance policies. Title insurance policies are normally issued for a long period such as 5 years or more. Thus, no profit is recognised in the first year of the policy given the higher probability of claims occurring in the first year. From the second year onwards, profit is recognised by amortising the premium received over a five year period using the straight line method. Profit in the first year will be recognised in the second year and thereafter it will be periodically recognised. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Valuation of Non Life Insurance Contract Liabilities of Subsidiary, HNB General Insurance Limited (HNBGI) The estimates of general insurance contracts have to be made both for the expected ultimate cost of claims reported at the reporting date and for the expected ultimate cost of claims Incurred, But Not yet Reported and claims Incurred, But Not Enough Reported (IBNR/ IBNER) at the reporting date. It can take a significant period of time before the ultimate claims cost can be established with certainty. The main assumption underlying in estimating the amount of outstanding claims is the past claims development experience. Large claims are usually addressed separately, either by being reserved at the face value of loss adjuster estimates or separately projected in order to reflect their future development. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made regarding future rates of claims inflation or loss ratios. 299 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

306. Notes to the Financial Statements 53 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS ACCOUNTING POLICY Defined Benefit Plan A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan . (a) Pension Fund The Bank operates an approved pension fund to facilitate the following payments for permanent staff of the Bank: i Pensions to Retiring Staff Pensionable staff members who are in the permanent cadre are eligible to draw pension from the pension fund as per the trust deed dated 24th September 1981. ii Benefits to Staff who Opted for the Optional Scheme for Pension introduced in 2005 Staff members who opted for the optional scheme for pension introduced in 2005 are eligible for the payment in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon. iiiGratuity Gratuity would be the payments to staff who satisfy the criteria as per the Gratuity Act No 12 of 1983 at the time of leaving the services of the Bank without pension rights. Payment of gratuities to employees who have completed more than five years of service under the said act is covered through the Bank’s own non-contributory pension scheme which is in force. These liabilities are assessed by an actuarial valuation using project credit method. The Bank’s obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, and discounting that benefit to determine its present value, then deducting the fair value of any plan assets to determine the net amount to be shown in the statement of financial position. The value of any defined benefit asset is restricted to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Bank. An economic benefit is available to the Bank if it is realisable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities. The Bank determines the net interest expense/(income) on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the net defined benefit liability/(asset) at the beginning of the annual period. The discount rate is the yield as at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Bank’s obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The demographic assumptions underlying the valuation are retirement age, early withdrawals from service and retirement on medical grounds, death before and after retirement etc. The assets of the fund are held separately from those of the Bank’s assets and are administered independently by the trustees of the fund. Details of the pension fund are given in Note 53 (a) to the financial statements. 304 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC
307. (b) Other Long-term Employee Benefits The Bank’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than pension fund, is 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. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Bank’s obligation. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The Bank’s liability towards the portion of the accumulated leave which is expected to be utilised beyond one year from the end of the reporting period is treated as other long term employee benefits. When the benefits of a plan has changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefits that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gain or losses on the settlement of a defined plan when the settlement occurs. (c) Gratuity Obligation - Group Companies The subsidiaries of the Bank do not operate pension funds and make a provision for gratuity obligation. These liabilities are assessed either by actuarial valuations using projected credit method or by the use of gratuity formula. Provision for gratuity benefits of group companies is given in Note 53 (a) to the financial statements. (d) Employees’ Provident Fund - Bank Employees’ Provident Fund is an approved private provident fund which has been set up to meet the provident fund liabilities of the Bank to which the Bank and employees contribute at 12% and 8% respectively on the salary of each employee. Staff members who are members of the fund are entitled to receive a minimum interest rate which is the higher of one year fixed deposit rate of HNB or National Savings Bank on their balance on a semi-annual basis. Accordingly this obligation was treated as a defined benefit liability and an actuarial valuation was conducted to value the Bank’s obligation of the same. (e) Widows’, Widowers’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund The Bank operates a separate Widows’, Widowers’ and Orphans’ Pension Scheme (WW & OP) which was established with effect from 1st September 1995. The contributions are from employees only and the Bank does not have any legal or constructive obligation towards the above scheme. Details of Widows’, Widowers’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund are given in Note 53 (f) to the financial statements (f) Defined Contribution Plans  A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay a further contribution if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior periods. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit or loss as and when they are due. (i) Employees’ Trust Fund The Bank and the Group contribute 3% of the salary of each employee to the Employees’ Trust Fund. (ii) Employees’ Provident Fund – Group Companies The Group entities and their employees contribute at 12% and 8% respectively on the salary of each employee to Employees’ Provident Fund except for the Bank as explained above. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Defined Benefit Obligation The defined benefit obligation is determined using an actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates, increase in cost of living allowances and future pension increases. Due to the long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of Government of Sri Lanka Treasury Bonds with maturities corresponding to the expected duration of defined benefit obligation. Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates, expected future salary increment rates and expected future pension increases. 305 INTEGRATED REPORT 2021

Age of Employee (As at 17th November 2021) Minimum Retirement Age 54 or above and below 55 years 57 Years 53 or above and below 54 years 58 Years 52 or above and below 53 years 59 Years Below 52 years 60 Years Accordingly the amended minimum retirement age has been treated as a plan amendment and incorporated plan amendment in accordance with LKAS-19 in the assessment of actuarial valuation of defined benefit obligations. Impact from same is disclosed in Note 53 (c) iii to the financial statements as past service benefit. 53 (c) Funded Defined Benefit Plan  Pension Fund - Bank   An actuarial valuation of the pension fund was carried out as at 31st December 2021 by Mr M Poopalanathan, AIA, Messrs Actuarial and Management Consultants (Pvt) Ltd, a firm of professional actuaries. The valuation method used by the actuary to value the fund is the projected unit credit method, the method recommended by the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 19 on “Employee Benefits”. The Bank contributed 18.26% out of the pensionable salary, to the pension fund in 2021 (2020 - 13.95%). The assets of the fund, which are independently administered by the trustees as per the provision of the Trust Deed are held separately from those of the Bank. No additional provision has been made in the financial statements of the Bank for gratuities to employees who have completed five or more years of service, payable under the Payment of Gratuity Act No 12 of 1983 as the Bank contributes for all permanent employees to its own noncontributory pension scheme, which is in force.  306 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

The same withdrawal rates which were used in the last valuation (as at 31st December 2020) to determine the liability on account of the active employees in the funded scheme, were used in the actuarial valuation carried out as at 31st December 2021. Assumptions similar to those used in other comparable schemes for disability were used as the data required to do a scheme specific study was not available. As per the provisions of Minimum Age of Workers Act No. 28 of 2021 (2020 - 55 years) A long-term interest rate of 11.00% p.a. (2020 – 9.00% p.a.) has been used to discount future liabilities. A salary increment of 9.80% p.a. (2020 – 8.50% p.a.) has been used in respect of the active employees.

318. Notes to the Financial Statements 59 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS     ACCOUNTING POLICY Commitments and Contingencies Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is not probable or cannot be reliably measured as defined in the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard LKAS 37 on “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. To meet the financial needs of customers, the Group enters into various irrevocable commitments and contingent liabilities. These consist of financial guarantees, letters of credit and other undrawn commitments to lend. Letters of credit and guarantees (including stand by letters of credit) commit the Group to make payments on behalf of customers in the event of a specific act, generally related to the import or export of goods. Guarantees and standby letters of credit carry a similar credit risk to loans. Operating lease commitments of the Bank (as a lessor and as a lessee) and pending legal claims against the Group also form part of commitments of the Group. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position but are disclosed unless they are remote. But these contingent liabilities do contain credit risk and therefore form part of the overall risk of the Group. All discernible risks are accounted for in determining the amount of all known liabilities. The Group’s share of any contingencies and capital commitments of a subsidiary or joint venture for which the Group is also liable severally or otherwise are also included with appropriate disclosures. Financial Guarantees Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements within other liabilities at fair value, being the premium received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in the income statement, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee.  Expected credit loss provisions recognised for same are set out in Note 51 (b) to the financial statements. Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is recorded in the income statement. The premium received is recognised in the income statement in “net fee and commission income” on a straight line basis over the life of the guarantee. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these commitments and contingencies. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Provisions and Other Contingent Liabilities The Group operates in a regulatory and legal environment that, by nature, has a heightened element of litigation risk inherent to its operation. As a result, it is involved in various litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings, arising in the ordinary course of the business. When the Group can reliably measure the outflow of economic benefits in relation to a specific case and such outflows are probable, the Group records a provision against the case. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is not probable or cannot be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position but are disclosed unless those are remote. 316 HATTON NATIONAL BANK PLC

329. 62 SEGMENT REPORTING     ACCOUNTING POLICY An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components, whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources allocated to each segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Unallocated items comprise mainly of corporate assets, expenses, tax assets and liabilities. 62 (a) Basis for Segmentation  Group’s activities have been segregated into eight different segments based on the business activities that each unit is engaged for the purpose of reviewing the operating results of the Group as well as to make decisions about resource allocation. The operating results of the Bank is split between corporate, retail, SME, micro and treasury. Real estate, insurance and NBFI represent the operating results and financial position of the subsidiaries, Sithma Development (Pvt) Ltd, HNB Assurance PLC and HNB Finance PLC respectively. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income, profits or losses which, in certain respects, are measured differently from operating profits or losses in the consolidated financial statements. Inter segment transactions are accounted for at fair market prices charged to inter-bank counterparts for similar services on an arm’s length basis. Such transfers are eliminated on consolidation. Income taxes are not allocated to operating segments. Other expenses which cannot be directly identified against a particular business segment have been treated as consolidation adjustments. The Group’s management reviews internal management reports from each division at least monthly. 62 (b) Information about reportable segments Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s business segments. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.

353. Independent Assurance Statement INTRODUCTION DNV represented by DNV Business Assurance Lanka (Private) Limited (‘DNV’) has been commissioned by the management of Hatton National Bank PLC (‘HNB’ or ‘the Bank’, Corporate Registration Number PQ 82) to carry out an independent assurance engagement of its non-financial/ sustainability performance disclosed in the Bank’s Annual Report 2021 (‘the Report’) in its printed format. The non-financial performance in this Report covers the disclosures related to material topics for the reporting period 1 January 2021 – 31 December 2021. The sustainability disclosures in this Report have been prepared by HNB on the Guiding Principles and Content Elements of the International <IR> Framework (December 2013, the ‘<IR> Framework’) of the International Integrated Reporting Council (‘IIRC’) and the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI’s) Sustainability Reporting Standards (‘GRI Standards’) to bring out the various Content Elements of the <IR> Framework and performance trends related to identified material topics. The reporting topic boundaries for non-financial performance are based on the internal and external materiality assessment carried out by HNB and covers identified material topics for the Bank’s operations as brought out in the Report in the section ‘About the Report’. We performed our assurance (Type 2, Moderate level) activities based on AccountAbility’s AA1000 Assurance Standard v3, and DNV’s assurance methodology VeriSustainTM . In doing so, we evaluated the qualitative and quantitative disclosures presented in the Report, together with using the Guiding Principles of the <IR> Framework, together with HNB’s protocols for how the non-financial performance was measured, recorded and reported. Our assurance engagement was planned and carried out in December 2021 – February 2022. The intended user of this assurance statement is the Management of HNB. We disclaim any liability or responsibility to a third party for decisions, whether investment or otherwise, based on this Assurance Statement. We planned and performed our work to obtain the evidence we considered necessary to provide a basis for our assurance opinion and this process did not involve engagement with any external stakeholders. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT OF HNB AND OF THE ASSURANCE PROVIDER The Management of the Bank has the sole responsibility for the preparation of the Report as well as the processes for collecting, analysing and reporting the information presented in the Report and also responsible for ensuring the maintenance and integrity of its website and any referenced disclosures on non-financial performance and management approach. In performing this assurance work, DNV’s responsibility is to the Management of HNB; however, this statement represents our independent opinion and is intended to inform the outcome of the assurance to the stakeholders of the HNB. DNV’s assurance engagements are based on the assumption that the data and information provided by the client to us as part of our review have been provided in good faith and free from material misstatements or errors. We were not involved in the preparation of any statements or data included in the Report except for this Assurance Statement. We did not come across limitations to scope of the agreed assurance agreement during our assurance process. We understand that any reported data on financial performance of the Bank and the Group including its subsidiaries within the Report are based on financial disclosures and data which has been subjected to a separate independent statutory audit process and is not included in our scope of work. BASIS OF OUR OPINION We planned and performed our work to obtain the evidence considered necessary to provide a basis for our assurance opinion, and as part of the assurance engagement, a multi-disciplinary team of sustainability and assurance specialists conducted remote assessments and interactions with key internal stakeholders at the Bank’s Head Office in Colombo and six (6) operational branches of the Bank in Sri Lanka based on DNV’s sampling plan. We adopted a risk-based approach, that is, we concentrated our remote verification efforts on the issues of high material relevance to the Bank and its key stakeholders.
