Message from the Chairman
I am delighted to report that in 2007 the bank continued the trend of recent years by growing the
business on all fronts. Pre-tax profi ts increased by 38% to CHF 15 million. The growth in profi ts was
driven by the strong infl ow of new clients, and additional assets under management, together with
the good performance of our client portfolios.
Through most of the last fi nancial year, the markets were relatively benign. However, the very low
levels of volatility in the early part of 2007 and the failure of the markets to recognise and reward
risk, signalled impending problems. They became a reality during the summer of 2007 with the
drying up of liquidity in the banking markets. Time will tell as to the impact of the fi nancial industry
disruptions on the real economy. Prudence is certainly the order of the day.
In this challenging environment, our bank’s long standing absolute return investment philosophy has
delivered good returns for our clients over the last year. The use of alternative investments which
protected from the uplift in volatility in the markets, paid dividends in this regard. We continue to
avoid strategies with signifi cant leverage and concentrate on those strategies which enable investors
participate in rising markets while protecting when markets are falling.
In addition to our absolute return philosophy, the bank’s open architecture policy and truly
personalised service, continues to mark it out in an increasingly commoditised private banking
industry. The consolidation which we are witnessing is reducing choice for clients and creating
an even more promising future for niche players like our bank.
We continue to invest in that future by recruiting new relationship managers in our key markets.
That investment will bear fruit in the coming years with continued growth in our business.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our hard working and committed team of investment
professionals and support staff. I would also like to thank our clients for their continued loyalty and
confi dence – something we never take for granted, and which we will continue to work hard to
earn going forward.

Notes to the Financial Statement as at 30 September 2007
1. Comments relating to the bank’s activities and its staff
1.1 General informationANGLO IRISH BANK (SUISSE) SA, Geneva, is a bank specialising in asset management for private and institutional clients.
As at 30 September 2007, 63 people were employed by the Bank (60 people as at 30 Septem-ber 2006).
1.2 Risk managementCredit riskCredit risk is strictly managed according to the amount of credit, the duration andthe quality of the collateral and the margins applied. A daily control is performed by the credit and risk control division to monitor collateral cover. This function is completely separate from client relations.
Rate risksIn a general manner, the Bank tries to match the maturities and needs of its clients and those of its own refi nancing, as well as those concerning the placement of excess treasury amounts. In this manner, it limits its interest rate risk.
Other market risksThe management of market risk follows very strict intervention limits. This risk is monitored on a daily basis.
1.3 Policy regarding the use of fi nancial derivativesTrades for clientsThe Bank trades mainly in forward transactions and OTC currency options on behalf ofits clients. These transactions are generally executed to cover foreign exchange risk.
Trades for the BankThe Bank executes forward transactions with the objective of covering part of its future foreign currency income. The result from these transactions is matched with the underlying hedged transaction in the income statement. The Bank does not trade in futures for its own account.
1.4 Outsourcing of activitiesThe Bank outsources its banking IT systems in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss Federal Banking Commission. In order to guarantee confi dentiality, client identifying data is held on a standalone computer system whose access is strictly limited to the Bank’s central register department.
2. Accounting principles and valuation methodsThe accounting principles of valuation and presentation conform to the provisions governing the preparation of fi nancial statements contained in the Ordinance on Banks and Savings Banks and the guidelines of the Swiss Federal Banking Commission.
2.1 Transaction AccountingAll transactions are accounted for and valued according to the transaction date.
![Page 12: Annual Report 2007 - SGKB · Sean FitzPatrick Chairman of the Board of Directors DECEMBER 2007 3. 30.09.2007 CHF 30.09 ... Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5feffc62ba0b077fe07a569e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2.2 AccrualsIncome and expenses are recorded in the period to which they relate. Accruals and prepayments are set up to ensure that income and expenses are matched to the relevant financial year.
2.3 Foreign currency conversionTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate effective at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Swiss francs at the exchange rates effective on the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are accounted for in the income statement.
The principal exchange rates used to translate foreign currencies are the following:
Currency 30.09.2007 30.09.2006EUR 1.6624 1.5889USD 1.169 1.2544JPY 0.01016 0.0106
2.4 Cash, due from Banks and ClientsReceivables are recorded at nominal value. Specific risks are valued individually and may give rise to a value adjustment based on the principle of prudence, experience and any other relevant element. Off balance sheet positions are also included in this evaluation. The provisions are shown in the balance sheet under the item “value adjustments and provisions.” Interest and commission relating to receivables whose recovery is doubtful, is recorded as a value adjustment. Interest and commission due over 90 days but still unpaid, is considered as doubtful.
2.5 Securities trading portfoliosThe securities in the portfolios are valued at market price at the balance sheet date and the unrealized gain or loss is accounted for in the income statement.
2.6 InvestmentsInvestments are recorded at cost less provisions.
2.7 Fixed AssetsFixed assets are accounted for at cost and are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives:
Fixtures and fittings 20%
Furniture and equipment 25%
Computer software 50%
2.8 TaxesThe Bank provides for taxes still due for previous financial years, as well as an estimate for current taxes which are due on the profits made during the financial year and on the taxable share capital at the end of the financial year.
Notes to the Financial Statement as at 30 September 2007

2.9 Value adjustments and provisionsFor all identifi ed risks at the balance sheet date, a provision is established on a prudent basis and accounted for under ”value adjustments and provisions”. At the end of the fi nancial year, the provisions which are no longer economically necessary are dissolved and credited to the income statement.
2.10 Reserve for general banking risksThe reserve for general banking risks covers risks of unforeseen losses due to the inherent risk in bank transactions.
2.11 Financial derivativesTradingReplacement values of client foreign currency forward transactions as well as OTC warrants and options which are covered in the market, are shown in the balance sheet under “Other assets” and “Other liabilities”, and where appropriate, in the profi t and loss account. All these trades appear in the analysis “Financial derivatives”.
HedgingTrades for hedging purposes are valued according to the same principle as the underlying hedged transaction. The results from these hedging trades are included under the same heading in the income statement as the result of the underlying hedged transaction.
2.12 Pension fund commitmentsThe Bank is affi liated under contract with a collective foundation for its employee’s pension scheme. It is a defi ned contribution scheme which covers both the legal provisions, in accordance with Swiss Law on employee pension rights, and the part of the salary which exceeds the maximum amount as defi ned by the basic scheme. As at 30 September 2007, the collective foundation covered 61 employees and 2 pensioners (2006: 59 employees and 1 pensioner). The collective foundation is funded by the employer and the employees on the basis of contributions fi xed by the pension scheme regulations. There is no employer’s contribution reserve.
As this pension scheme is a defi ned contribution scheme, no element of the legal provisions for pension schemes is included in the Bank’s balance sheet. The Bank transfers contributions to the collective foundation each month. Hence the payments made are identical to the charge shown in the note “Analysis of staff costs”.

Due to Pension Plans
The Bank has signed a contract with a collective Foundation, covering the benefits in favour of its employees, as required by Swiss law, as well as benefits in excess of legal requirements. The plan is based on the principle of a defined contribution plan. The pension fund has concluded an insurance contract with La Bâloise, Compagnie d’assurances sur la Vie, which includes the coverage of the whole insurance and investment risks.
At the balance sheet date, 61 employees and 2 retired persons are included in the plan (2006: respectively 59 and 1). In accordance with the by-laws of the plan, the contributions are financed by the employees and the Bank. The accounting treatment of the employee’ benefits are based on the Swiss GAAP RPC 16 which came into force on 1st January 2006. The employer’s contributions are recognized in the profit and loss account as current charges for the period. No contribution reserve exists.
The law requires that each pension fund must determine if the degree of coverage and the particular situation of the pension fund may bring an economic advantage or liability for the company. The estimate is based on the pension fund financial statements as of December 31, 2006.
