COMMENTS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




                   Credit Suisse Group’s Annual Report contains two sets of financial statements: the
                   consolidated annual financial statements of Credit Suisse Group at 31 December 1997
                   and the annual financial statements of Credit Suisse Group, parent company, for the
                   financial year ended 31 March 1998. It is the latter set of statements which forms the
                   basis for resolutions voted on by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Both
                   sets of statements have been examined by independent auditors. Their reports are pre-
                   sented on pages 93 and 101.
                         The consolidated financial statements include the Credit Suisse First Boston sub-
                   group, the Credit Suisse sub-group, Neue Aargauer Bank, the Private Banks, the
                   Winterthur sub-group, CS Life and the financial subsidiaries and long-term holdings of
                   Credit Suisse Group. The consolidated financial statements include individual reporting for
                   the banking and insurance units. The merger of “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company
                   (Winterthur) was treated as a “pooling of interests”; its financial results have been in-
                   cluded in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet. Income statement and
                   balance sheet notes relating specifically to insurance activity are also detailed separately.


                                                  The closing of the announced merger with Winterthur oc-
                   The 1997 financial year
                   curred on 15 December 1997. As at 31 December 1997, Credit Suisse Group owned
                   99.9% of the outstanding shares of Winterthur. Former Winterthur shareholders re-
                   ceived 7.3 shares of Credit Suisse Group for each registered share of “Winterthur”
                   Swiss Insurance Company. As a result, the share capital of Credit Suisse Group was
                   increased by the issuance of 70,714,107 registered shares at a nominal value of
                   CHF 20 per share. Winterthur is included in the consolidated reporting of Credit Suisse
                   Group under the “pooling of interests method”.
                          As of the 1997 financial year, Credit Suisse Group applied a new dynamic
                   provisioning method for the management of credit risks. It was originally intended to
                   include the dynamic credit provisions in the annual income statement. However, the
                   final regulatory guidelines for applying dynamic credit provisioning methods to the finan-
                   cial statements has led to the decision that this method will be used only for
                   management accounting. Because the credit situation in the Swiss market remains
                   difficult, especially in the real estate area, it was necessary to make a provision of
                   around CHF 1.1 bn for pre-existing non-performing loans. In 1997, CHF 1,186 m was
                   released from the reserves for general banking risks and included in the income state-
                   ment as extraordinary income. Extraordinary expense of CHF 1,629 m was also added
                   to the reserves for general banking risks during the year.
                          A reserve of CHF 1 bn was created in 1996 for the expected restructuring costs
                   of Credit Suisse Group. Costs of CHF 298 m in 1996 and CHF 450 m in 1997 were
                   incurred and charged to this reserve. Additional obligations incurred in connection with
                   the restructuring required an additional extraordinary provision of CHF 349 m, leaving
                   a reserve balance of CHF 467 m as at 31 December 1997. At Credit Suisse First
                   Boston, an extraordinary provision of CHF 332 m (CHF 237 m after tax) was created
                   for expected restructuring costs associated with the acquisition of the European
                   investment banking business of BZW. An extraordinary provision of CHF 115 m
                   (CHF 82 m after tax) was created to implement the new organisational structure at
                   Bank Leu, which became effective 1 January 1998. An extraordinary provision of



44
CHF 488 m (CHF 401 m after tax) was created for technology, primarily for expenses
related to the additional data processing requirements associated with the introduction
of the euro and the modification of systems to prepare for the year 2000. The provision
consisted of CHF 220 m (CHF 147 m after tax) for the international banking business,
CHF 198 m for the Swiss banking business and CHF 70 m (CHF 56 m after tax) for
the insurance business. A provision of CHF 375 m (CHF 300 m after tax) was made
for integration and restructuring costs for the insurance business. Total extraordinary
restructuring costs amounted to CHF 1,659 m (CHF 1,369 m after tax).
       The sale of Electrowatt Ltd. contracted last year was completed on 29 December
1997. After obtaining an additional 53.3% of the remaining Electrowatt Ltd. shares
existing in the market through a public offering at a price of CHF 550 per share, Credit
Suisse Group held 99% of the outstanding shares. These shares were tendered to the
buyers, Siemens AG and an energy consortium consisting of Nordostschweizerische
Kraftwerke, Bayernwerk AG, Energie Baden-Württemberg AG and Credit Suisse
Group. Credit Suisse Group holds a 20% stake in this consortium.
       On 30 September 1997, Fides Informatik was sold to EDS, an international infor-
mation services firm. Credit Suisse Group retained a 67% stake in Fides Information
Services, which was spun off from Fides Informatik at the same time and which is
active in electronic banking and financial information services.
       The annual financial statement for Credit Suisse Asset Management International
Fund Holding, Zurich, includes approximately CHF 29 m in non-recurring after-tax pro-
fit, which is a result of moving the closing dates of all the company’s mutual fund
management subsidiaries to 31 December 1997.
       A provision of CHF 27.5 m was made for Göhner Merkur to reflect continued
stagnating economic activity in Switzerland and pressure from the increased number of
foreclosures in the real estate market.
       CS Life has been fully consolidated in the income statement for 1997 and prior
years.


Events after year-end As of 1 January 1998, the business activities of Bank Leu
Ltd. were focused on private banking. Commercial relationships and individual
customers were transferred to the responsibility of Credit Suisse.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




SCOPE AND METHOD OF CONSOLIDATION
The assets and liabilities, off-balance sheet transactions and income and expenses of
all the banking, insurance and financial institutions in which Credit Suisse Group has a
direct or an indirect interest of more than 50% as of the balance sheet date are fully
consolidated in the financial statements. For the “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company,
Winterthur, legal entity, the capital is consolidated according to the pooling-of-interests
method. For the other Group companies the capital is consolidated according to the
purchase method as of 1 January 1990 (or later, if acquired thereafter). Inter-company
transactions and unrealised gains therefrom are eliminated. Minority interests in share-
holders’ equity and net profit are indicated separately, but are viewed as forming an
integral part of the corporate base. Other companies in which the Group has a stake of
20% or more are accounted for using the equity method. Long-term holdings which are
designated for resale are booked as “Financial investments”. Subsidiaries and long-term
holdings outside of the core business and less significant holdings are not consolidated.


GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The Group financial statements are drawn up in accordance with the accounting rules
of the Implementing Ordinance to the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks
of 1 February 1995 and the Federal Banking Commission guidelines of 14 December
1994 (with the amendments of 14 November 1996 and 22 October 1997), supple-
mented by the pooling-of-interests method and the provisions of the Swiss accounting
and reporting recommendations with respect to insurance companies (FER 14). As
required by the pooling-of-interests method, the consolidated financial statement of
Credit Suisse Group shows the combined results of Credit Suisse Group and Winterthur
as if the merger had been effective for all previous periods shown. In addition, the con-
solidation and valuation policies reflect the accounting principles set out in the Swiss
stock exchange listing regulations; they also largely conform to the provisions of the
4th and 7th EU directives and the EU directive governing the financial statements of
banks. The financial year for the Group ends on 31 December. Group companies with
a different closing date prepare interim financial statements as of 31 December for
consolidation purposes. Goodwill (the amount paid in excess of the equity acquired
when purchasing an interest in a company) was directly written off to shareholders’
equity until the end of 1996. Winterthur charges such goodwill (accumulated amount
1997: CHF 1,480 m) against revaluation reserves from insurance business. Credit
Suisse Group has restated this treatment and charged the accumulated amount to
retained earnings. For subsidiaries acquired after 1 January 1997, goodwill is stated in
the balance sheet under “Intangible assets” and written off over its estimated useful life
(not exceeding 20 years) on the income statement.




                                                                                              53
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




                   CHANGES TO THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
                   The scope of consolidation has undergone the following changes:


                   “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company, Winterthur
                   In accordance with the agreement of 10 August 1997 between Credit Suisse Group
                   and Winterthur, the merger was accounted for on the basis of the pooling-of-interests
                   method. The figures for all applicable previous periods have been adjusted accordingly.


                   CS Life, Zurich
                   CS Life has been fully consolidated retroactively. The figures for all applicable previous
                   periods have been adjusted accordingly.


                   Banque Hottinguer, Paris
                   Purchased as of 2 October 1997 and subsequently merged with Credit Suisse
                   (France) SA, Paris, to form Credit Suisse Hottinguer.


                   FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
                   In the annual accounts of the individual Group companies, income and expense items
                   denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant local reporting curren-
                   cies on the basis of the exchange rate as of the transaction date. Assets, liabilities and
                   off-balance sheet items are translated as of the year-end rate. Hedged assets and liabi-
                   lities are carried at their forward hedging rates. For the purposes of consolidation, the
                   balance sheets of foreign Group companies are translated into Swiss francs at the
                   year-end exchange rate, and their income statements are translated using the average
                   exchange rate for the financial year. Translation differences are credited or debited to
                   shareholders’ equity and are shown separately in the statement of shareholders’ equity.


                   The key foreign exchange rates are listed in the notes to the consolidated financial state-
                   ments on page 60.

DEVIATIONS FROM THE RELEVANT EU DIRECTIVES
The Swiss accounting rules for banks conform in essence to EU directives and guidelines.
The areas in which Group accounting policies deviate from the accounting principles set
out in the directives of the European Union (4th and 7th EU directives and the EU
directive governing the financial statements of banks) can be summarised as follows:
– The classification criteria used in the balance sheet and the income statement differ
   from those set out in the EU directive governing the financial statements of banks.
– The proportions of overall income and expenditure for operations outside Switzerland
   are not detailed by geographical location but are provided as combined totals.
– No specific information is given concerning compensation or liabilities towards
   Members of the Board of Directors or Members of the Executive Board of Credit
   Suisse Group.
– Securities and precious metals treated as trading positions are valued at market.
   Historical differences between cost and current market values are not disclosed in
   the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
– Subsidiaries and long-term holdings which are not in the banking, finance or insur-
   ance sectors are not consolidated.
– There is no formal management report on the business year.


The following are significant deviations from the EU directives governing the financial
statements of insurance companies:
– The classification and presentation used in the financial statements have been ad-
   justed from those set out in the EU directives governing the financial statements of
   insurance companies. Winterthur Group publishes an annual report which focuses on
   the presentation of the result of the insurance business.
– Unrealised gains on life business investments are taken to revaluation reserves as
   part of shareholders’ equity and not to funds for future distribution to shareholders
   and policyholders.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




                                                                                These positions are carried
                   Cash, bank balances, money market paper and loans
                   at nominal value. The necessary provisions for recognisable risks and potential losses
                   are normally deducted from the appropriate asset items in the balance sheet. Interest
                   and commission income from customers and banks which is more than 90 days in
                   arrears is not booked as “Interest from income business”. Instead, it is only included in
                   the income statement following payment. Provisions with regard to claims subject to
                   country risk, default risks and other bank risks are booked to “Valuation adjustments
                   and provisions”. This position contains no undisclosed reserves.


                   Leasing All leased items (capital goods, vehicles and real estate) are valued using the
                   annuity method and are stated as a separate item under lendings. The depreciation
                   charges contained in the rental income are set off directly against the book values of
                   the corresponding leased assets, so that only the interest portion of the rental income
                   is shown in the income statement.


                                  Real estate is valued at the cost (including capital improvements) less
                   Real estate
                   depreciation over its useful life (40–67 years). No depreciation is charged on land
                   except where valuation adjustments have been made to allow for a reduction in the
                   market value.


                                                    Other tangible fixed assets such as computers, machin-
                   Other tangible fixed assets
                   ery, furnishings, vehicles and other equipment, as well as alterations and improvements
                   to rented premises, are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated
                   useful life (3–5 years).


                                         The goodwill included in this balance sheet position arises from
                   Intangible assets
                   the majority holdings acquired from 1 January 1997 in connection with the capital
                   consolidation. This goodwill is written down over its estimated useful life (maximum
                   20 years).


                                    As a rule, employees are affiliated to legally autonomous staff pension
                   Pension fund
                   funds which are independent of the Group. The requisite contributions are made to the
                   pension funds and posted under “Personnel expenses”.


                             Tax expense is calculated on the basis of the annual results posted in the indi-
                   Taxes
                   vidual financial statements of the Group companies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
                   are established for the expected future tax implications of temporary differences be-
                   tween the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
                   assets and liabilities calculated at the expected tax rate on the basis of adjustments in
                   the valuation of assets and liabilities for Group purposes are charged to tax expense
                   and recorded as other assets or provisions. No provision is made for non-recoverable
                   withholding taxes on undistributed profits of Group companies outside Switzerland nor is
                   a deferred tax asset recognised arising from tax losses brought forward in the case of
                   Swiss Group companies.

VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN RELATION
TO BANK-SPECIFIC POSITIONS


                                   The trading portfolio consists of balances held in
Securities trading portfolio
connection with the trading of readily realisable securities, securities acquired as a
result of underwriting activities and holdings of precious metals. Securitised and non-
securitised options are shown under “Other assets”.
      Trading balances in bonds, shares and similar securities and precious metal
accounts and holdings are marked to market as of the balance sheet date. Balances
for which there is no representative market are valued according to the lowest value
principle. Profits and losses from the valuation of the trading portfolio and realised
gains and losses on these positions are shown under “Income from trading”. Interest
and dividend income from the trading portfolio is credited to “Result from interest
business”.


                                                          This balance sheet item com-
Financial investments from the banking business
prises securities and precious metal positions purchased as a long-term investment. It
also includes real estate and holdings assumed from the lending business and desig-
nated for resale. Fixed-interest debt securities which are being held until final maturity
are valued according to the accrual method. In this case, premiums and discounts are
accrued or deferred over the term of the instrument until final maturity in the relevant
balance sheet position. Realised profits or losses which are interest related and which
arise from the early disposal or redemption of the instrument are accrued or deferred
over the remaining term of the instrument, i.e. to the original final maturity, and credited
to or debited from “Result from interest business” as appropriate. Investment holdings
of equities and debt securities which are designated for resale and which do not consti-
tute trading balances are valued according to the lowest value principle. The notes to
the consolidated financial statements include details of both the cost price and the
market value of these holdings. Real estate assumed from the lending business and
designated for resale is valued according to the lowest value principle.


                                        Reserves for general banking risks are pre-

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




                                    These transactions are marked to market as of the year end. Unrealised
                   Derivatives
                   gains or losses are booked to the income statement as trading income, with the
                   counter-positions shown in “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” as appropriate. Hedging
                   transactions are valued using the same procedures as for the underlying transactions
                   they hedge.
                          Derivative financial instruments which form part of the trading portfolio are marked
                   to market provided they are traded on a stock exchange or form part of a representa-
                   tive market. If this is not the case, they are valued according to the lowest value prin-
                   ciple. Strategic positions are valued according to the lowest value principle.
                          Derivative financial instruments which are deployed in the context of interest rate
                   risk management are valued according to the accrual method. The interest component
                   is accrued or deferred over the term of the instrument according to the annuity method.
                   Realised profits or losses which are interest related and which arise from the early
                   disposal or redemption of the instrument are also accrued or deferred over the re-
                   maining term of the instrument, i.e. to the original final maturity.



                   CHANGES AGAINST 1996


                   Balance sheet, income statement, off-balance sheet business
                   Federal Banking Commission guidelines of 14 December 1994, with amendments of
                   14 November 1996 and 22 October 1997, apply to the annual financial statement for
                   1997. The changes primarily affect the following positions.


                   FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS


                                                Fixed-interest deposits constituting financial investments are
                   Fixed-interest deposits
                   valued according to the accrual method. Debt securities which were not acquired with
                   the intention of being held until final maturity are now valued according to the lowest
                   value principle. As the implications for the Group financial statement are minimal, the
                   figures for the previous year have not been adjusted.


                                                                                                      Real
                   Real estate taken over from lending business and designated for resale
                   estate taken over from lending business and designated for resale is now stated under
                   “Financial investments” rather than under “Tangible fixed assets”. The figures for the
                   previous year have been adjusted accordingly for the following positions of the Group
                   financial statement.

VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN RELATION
TO INSURANCE-SPECIFIC POSITIONS


INVESTMENTS IN RESPECT OF INSURANCE BUSINESS


                Real estate is valued at the market price. The market value of a property
Real estate
is calculated as its capitalised rental income at the interest rate applied in the country
or market in question. Undeveloped plots of land and buildings under construction are
carried at cost.


                      Bonds and loans are valued according to the amortised cost
Bonds and loans
method. The difference between the purchase price and the redemption value is
distributed over the remaining life so that a constant yield is achieved. The correspond-
ing valuation adjustment is shown under the position “Net investment income from
insurance business”. Default risk is accounted for through the use of write-downs.
Inter-company transactions and unrealised gains have been eliminated, with the
exception of assets booked as investments from insurance business.


            Listed shares are marked to market at year-end. Unlisted shares are valued
Shares
at cost. If the yield or intrinsic value is endangered, a valuation adjustment is made.


               Derivatives and other financial instruments are generally used to hedge

the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognised assets, liabilities and firm
commitments. Any gains and losses are therefore recognised in the income statement
together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item.

                                   parison with the figures contained in the statutory accounts are recorded as follows:
                                   Valuation differences resulting from the revaluation of fixed-interest securities and
                                   mortgages, unlisted shares and non-consolidated long-term holdings are included in
                                   the income statement (under “Net investment income from insurance business”).
                                          In the case of listed shares and real estate, compensated write-downs in respect
                                   of the difference between the balance sheet value in the statutory accounts and the
                                   cost value are stated in the income statement (“Net investment income from insurance
                                   business”). Valuation differences between cost and market values are allocated to
                                   shareholders’ equity (“Revaluation reserves from the insurance business”) directly, with-
                                   out affecting the income statement, after deferred tax has been taken into account. In
                                   the life insurance business, policyholders normally share in the gains realised on the
                                   basis of statutory accounts.


                                                              The valuation of technical provisions is determined by pre-
                                   Technical provisions
                                   sumed liabilities in respect of policyholders and claimants. As a rule, calculations are
                                   made individually, i.e. per insurance contract or claim. Statistical or mathematical
                                   calculation methods are applied if these produce approximately the same results and if
                                   they conform to the procedures approved by the supervisory authorities of the individual
                                   countries in question. Technical provisions for life business are calculated with regard
                                   to local regulations. The surplus due to policyholders is accounted for on the basis of
                                   the resolutions passed by the individual companies as to the distribution of profit.

  • 2. COMMENTS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Credit Suisse Group’s Annual Report contains two sets of financial statements: the consolidated annual financial statements of Credit Suisse Group at 31 December 1997 and the annual financial statements of Credit Suisse Group, parent company, for the financial year ended 31 March 1998. It is the latter set of statements which forms the basis for resolutions voted on by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Both sets of statements have been examined by independent auditors. Their reports are pre- sented on pages 93 and 101. The consolidated financial statements include the Credit Suisse First Boston sub- group, the Credit Suisse sub-group, Neue Aargauer Bank, the Private Banks, the Winterthur sub-group, CS Life and the financial subsidiaries and long-term holdings of Credit Suisse Group. The consolidated financial statements include individual reporting for the banking and insurance units. The merger of “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company (Winterthur) was treated as a “pooling of interests”; its financial results have been in- cluded in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet. Income statement and balance sheet notes relating specifically to insurance activity are also detailed separately. The closing of the announced merger with Winterthur oc- The 1997 financial year curred on 15 December 1997. As at 31 December 1997, Credit Suisse Group owned 99.9% of the outstanding shares of Winterthur. Former Winterthur shareholders re- ceived 7.3 shares of Credit Suisse Group for each registered share of “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company. As a result, the share capital of Credit Suisse Group was increased by the issuance of 70,714,107 registered shares at a nominal value of CHF 20 per share. Winterthur is included in the consolidated reporting of Credit Suisse Group under the “pooling of interests method”. As of the 1997 financial year, Credit Suisse Group applied a new dynamic provisioning method for the management of credit risks. It was originally intended to include the dynamic credit provisions in the annual income statement. However, the final regulatory guidelines for applying dynamic credit provisioning methods to the finan- cial statements has led to the decision that this method will be used only for management accounting. Because the credit situation in the Swiss market remains difficult, especially in the real estate area, it was necessary to make a provision of around CHF 1.1 bn for pre-existing non-performing loans. In 1997, CHF 1,186 m was released from the reserves for general banking risks and included in the income state- ment as extraordinary income. Extraordinary expense of CHF 1,629 m was also added to the reserves for general banking risks during the year. A reserve of CHF 1 bn was created in 1996 for the expected restructuring costs of Credit Suisse Group. Costs of CHF 298 m in 1996 and CHF 450 m in 1997 were incurred and charged to this reserve. Additional obligations incurred in connection with the restructuring required an additional extraordinary provision of CHF 349 m, leaving a reserve balance of CHF 467 m as at 31 December 1997. At Credit Suisse First Boston, an extraordinary provision of CHF 332 m (CHF 237 m after tax) was created for expected restructuring costs associated with the acquisition of the European investment banking business of BZW. An extraordinary provision of CHF 115 m (CHF 82 m after tax) was created to implement the new organisational structure at Bank Leu, which became effective 1 January 1998. An extraordinary provision of 44
  • 3. CHF 488 m (CHF 401 m after tax) was created for technology, primarily for expenses related to the additional data processing requirements associated with the introduction of the euro and the modification of systems to prepare for the year 2000. The provision consisted of CHF 220 m (CHF 147 m after tax) for the international banking business, CHF 198 m for the Swiss banking business and CHF 70 m (CHF 56 m after tax) for the insurance business. A provision of CHF 375 m (CHF 300 m after tax) was made for integration and restructuring costs for the insurance business. Total extraordinary restructuring costs amounted to CHF 1,659 m (CHF 1,369 m after tax). The sale of Electrowatt Ltd. contracted last year was completed on 29 December 1997. After obtaining an additional 53.3% of the remaining Electrowatt Ltd. shares existing in the market through a public offering at a price of CHF 550 per share, Credit Suisse Group held 99% of the outstanding shares. These shares were tendered to the buyers, Siemens AG and an energy consortium consisting of Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerke, Bayernwerk AG, Energie Baden-Württemberg AG and Credit Suisse Group. Credit Suisse Group holds a 20% stake in this consortium. On 30 September 1997, Fides Informatik was sold to EDS, an international infor- mation services firm. Credit Suisse Group retained a 67% stake in Fides Information Services, which was spun off from Fides Informatik at the same time and which is active in electronic banking and financial information services. The annual financial statement for Credit Suisse Asset Management International Fund Holding, Zurich, includes approximately CHF 29 m in non-recurring after-tax pro- fit, which is a result of moving the closing dates of all the company’s mutual fund management subsidiaries to 31 December 1997. A provision of CHF 27.5 m was made for Göhner Merkur to reflect continued stagnating economic activity in Switzerland and pressure from the increased number of foreclosures in the real estate market. CS Life has been fully consolidated in the income statement for 1997 and prior years. Events after year-end As of 1 January 1998, the business activities of Bank Leu Ltd. were focused on private banking. Commercial relationships and individual customers were transferred to the responsibility of Credit Suisse. 45

  • 11. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SCOPE AND METHOD OF CONSOLIDATION The assets and liabilities, off-balance sheet transactions and income and expenses of all the banking, insurance and financial institutions in which Credit Suisse Group has a direct or an indirect interest of more than 50% as of the balance sheet date are fully consolidated in the financial statements. For the “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company, Winterthur, legal entity, the capital is consolidated according to the pooling-of-interests method. For the other Group companies the capital is consolidated according to the purchase method as of 1 January 1990 (or later, if acquired thereafter). Inter-company transactions and unrealised gains therefrom are eliminated. Minority interests in share- holders’ equity and net profit are indicated separately, but are viewed as forming an integral part of the corporate base. Other companies in which the Group has a stake of 20% or more are accounted for using the equity method. Long-term holdings which are designated for resale are booked as “Financial investments”. Subsidiaries and long-term holdings outside of the core business and less significant holdings are not consolidated. GENERAL PRINCIPLES The Group financial statements are drawn up in accordance with the accounting rules of the Implementing Ordinance to the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks of 1 February 1995 and the Federal Banking Commission guidelines of 14 December 1994 (with the amendments of 14 November 1996 and 22 October 1997), supple- mented by the pooling-of-interests method and the provisions of the Swiss accounting and reporting recommendations with respect to insurance companies (FER 14). As required by the pooling-of-interests method, the consolidated financial statement of Credit Suisse Group shows the combined results of Credit Suisse Group and Winterthur as if the merger had been effective for all previous periods shown. In addition, the con- solidation and valuation policies reflect the accounting principles set out in the Swiss stock exchange listing regulations; they also largely conform to the provisions of the 4th and 7th EU directives and the EU directive governing the financial statements of banks. The financial year for the Group ends on 31 December. Group companies with a different closing date prepare interim financial statements as of 31 December for consolidation purposes. Goodwill (the amount paid in excess of the equity acquired when purchasing an interest in a company) was directly written off to shareholders’ equity until the end of 1996. Winterthur charges such goodwill (accumulated amount 1997: CHF 1,480 m) against revaluation reserves from insurance business. Credit Suisse Group has restated this treatment and charged the accumulated amount to retained earnings. For subsidiaries acquired after 1 January 1997, goodwill is stated in the balance sheet under “Intangible assets” and written off over its estimated useful life (not exceeding 20 years) on the income statement. 53
  • 12. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CHANGES TO THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION The scope of consolidation has undergone the following changes: “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company, Winterthur In accordance with the agreement of 10 August 1997 between Credit Suisse Group and Winterthur, the merger was accounted for on the basis of the pooling-of-interests method. The figures for all applicable previous periods have been adjusted accordingly. CS Life, Zurich CS Life has been fully consolidated retroactively. The figures for all applicable previous periods have been adjusted accordingly. Banque Hottinguer, Paris Purchased as of 2 October 1997 and subsequently merged with Credit Suisse (France) SA, Paris, to form Credit Suisse Hottinguer. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS In the annual accounts of the individual Group companies, income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant local reporting curren- cies on the basis of the exchange rate as of the transaction date. Assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items are translated as of the year-end rate. Hedged assets and liabi- lities are carried at their forward hedging rates. For the purposes of consolidation, the balance sheets of foreign Group companies are translated into Swiss francs at the year-end exchange rate, and their income statements are translated using the average exchange rate for the financial year. Translation differences are credited or debited to shareholders’ equity and are shown separately in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The key foreign exchange rates are listed in the notes to the consolidated financial state- ments on page 60. 54
  • 13. DEVIATIONS FROM THE RELEVANT EU DIRECTIVES The Swiss accounting rules for banks conform in essence to EU directives and guidelines. The areas in which Group accounting policies deviate from the accounting principles set out in the directives of the European Union (4th and 7th EU directives and the EU directive governing the financial statements of banks) can be summarised as follows: – The classification criteria used in the balance sheet and the income statement differ from those set out in the EU directive governing the financial statements of banks. – The proportions of overall income and expenditure for operations outside Switzerland are not detailed by geographical location but are provided as combined totals. – No specific information is given concerning compensation or liabilities towards Members of the Board of Directors or Members of the Executive Board of Credit Suisse Group. – Securities and precious metals treated as trading positions are valued at market. Historical differences between cost and current market values are not disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. – Subsidiaries and long-term holdings which are not in the banking, finance or insur- ance sectors are not consolidated. – There is no formal management report on the business year. The following are significant deviations from the EU directives governing the financial statements of insurance companies: – The classification and presentation used in the financial statements have been ad- justed from those set out in the EU directives governing the financial statements of insurance companies. Winterthur Group publishes an annual report which focuses on the presentation of the result of the insurance business. – Unrealised gains on life business investments are taken to revaluation reserves as part of shareholders’ equity and not to funds for future distribution to shareholders and policyholders. GENERAL ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES REPO BUSINESS Repurchase and reverse repurchase trans- Transactions involving monetary assets actions are accounted for on the balance sheet as advances against securities serving as collateral or as cash deposits against own pledged securities. These transactions are shown in the balance sheet in the same way as those involving non-monetary assets. Claims and liabilities from lending and Transactions involving non-monetary assets borrowing transactions of non-monetary assets such as money market paper, precious metals or commodities and those arising from securities lending and borrowing are marked to market and, depending on the counterparty, are shown as claims on, or liabilities towards, banks or customers. Securities positions arising as a result of securities lend- ing and borrowing are included in the securities and precious metals trading portfolios. 55
  • 14. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These positions are carried Cash, bank balances, money market paper and loans at nominal value. The necessary provisions for recognisable risks and potential losses are normally deducted from the appropriate asset items in the balance sheet. Interest and commission income from customers and banks which is more than 90 days in arrears is not booked as “Interest from income business”. Instead, it is only included in the income statement following payment. Provisions with regard to claims subject to country risk, default risks and other bank risks are booked to “Valuation adjustments and provisions”. This position contains no undisclosed reserves. Leasing All leased items (capital goods, vehicles and real estate) are valued using the annuity method and are stated as a separate item under lendings. The depreciation charges contained in the rental income are set off directly against the book values of the corresponding leased assets, so that only the interest portion of the rental income is shown in the income statement. Real estate is valued at the cost (including capital improvements) less Real estate depreciation over its useful life (40–67 years). No depreciation is charged on land except where valuation adjustments have been made to allow for a reduction in the market value. Other tangible fixed assets such as computers, machin- Other tangible fixed assets ery, furnishings, vehicles and other equipment, as well as alterations and improvements to rented premises, are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful life (3–5 years). The goodwill included in this balance sheet position arises from Intangible assets the majority holdings acquired from 1 January 1997 in connection with the capital consolidation. This goodwill is written down over its estimated useful life (maximum 20 years). As a rule, employees are affiliated to legally autonomous staff pension Pension fund funds which are independent of the Group. The requisite contributions are made to the pension funds and posted under “Personnel expenses”. Tax expense is calculated on the basis of the annual results posted in the indi- Taxes vidual financial statements of the Group companies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the expected future tax implications of temporary differences be- tween the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities calculated at the expected tax rate on the basis of adjustments in the valuation of assets and liabilities for Group purposes are charged to tax expense and recorded as other assets or provisions. No provision is made for non-recoverable withholding taxes on undistributed profits of Group companies outside Switzerland nor is a deferred tax asset recognised arising from tax losses brought forward in the case of Swiss Group companies. 56
  • 15. Claims and liabilities in respect of Claims and liabilities of related companies related companies towards Group companies which are accounted for using the equity method are reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN RELATION TO BANK-SPECIFIC POSITIONS The trading portfolio consists of balances held in Securities trading portfolio connection with the trading of readily realisable securities, securities acquired as a result of underwriting activities and holdings of precious metals. Securitised and non- securitised options are shown under “Other assets”. Trading balances in bonds, shares and similar securities and precious metal accounts and holdings are marked to market as of the balance sheet date. Balances for which there is no representative market are valued according to the lowest value principle. Profits and losses from the valuation of the trading portfolio and realised gains and losses on these positions are shown under “Income from trading”. Interest and dividend income from the trading portfolio is credited to “Result from interest business”. This balance sheet item com- Financial investments from the banking business prises securities and precious metal positions purchased as a long-term investment. It also includes real estate and holdings assumed from the lending business and desig- nated for resale. Fixed-interest debt securities which are being held until final maturity are valued according to the accrual method. In this case, premiums and discounts are accrued or deferred over the term of the instrument until final maturity in the relevant balance sheet position. Realised profits or losses which are interest related and which arise from the early disposal or redemption of the instrument are accrued or deferred over the remaining term of the instrument, i.e. to the original final maturity, and credited to or debited from “Result from interest business” as appropriate. Investment holdings of equities and debt securities which are designated for resale and which do not consti- tute trading balances are valued according to the lowest value principle. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include details of both the cost price and the market value of these holdings. Real estate assumed from the lending business and designated for resale is valued according to the lowest value principle. Reserves for general banking risks are pre- Reserves for general banking risks cautionary reserves charged to “Extraordinary expenses” to hedge against latent risks in the bank’s operating activities. 57
  • 16. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These transactions are marked to market as of the year end. Unrealised Derivatives gains or losses are booked to the income statement as trading income, with the counter-positions shown in “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” as appropriate. Hedging transactions are valued using the same procedures as for the underlying transactions they hedge. Derivative financial instruments which form part of the trading portfolio are marked to market provided they are traded on a stock exchange or form part of a representa- tive market. If this is not the case, they are valued according to the lowest value prin- ciple. Strategic positions are valued according to the lowest value principle. Derivative financial instruments which are deployed in the context of interest rate risk management are valued according to the accrual method. The interest component is accrued or deferred over the term of the instrument according to the annuity method. Realised profits or losses which are interest related and which arise from the early disposal or redemption of the instrument are also accrued or deferred over the re- maining term of the instrument, i.e. to the original final maturity. CHANGES AGAINST 1996 Balance sheet, income statement, off-balance sheet business Federal Banking Commission guidelines of 14 December 1994, with amendments of 14 November 1996 and 22 October 1997, apply to the annual financial statement for 1997. The changes primarily affect the following positions. FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS Fixed-interest deposits constituting financial investments are Fixed-interest deposits valued according to the accrual method. Debt securities which were not acquired with the intention of being held until final maturity are now valued according to the lowest value principle. As the implications for the Group financial statement are minimal, the figures for the previous year have not been adjusted. Real Real estate taken over from lending business and designated for resale estate taken over from lending business and designated for resale is now stated under “Financial investments” rather than under “Tangible fixed assets”. The figures for the previous year have been adjusted accordingly for the following positions of the Group financial statement. Adjustments 1996 in CHF m Tangible fixed assets –1,137 Financial investments 1,137 Sundry ordinary expenses 158 Depreciation and write-offs on non-current assets –158 58
  • 17. OTHER As of 1 January 1997, purchased goodwill is no longer charged Intangible assets against shareholders’ equity, but is stated in the balance sheet under “Intangible assets”. Holdings of precious metals are Securities and precious metals trading portfolios no longer valued at the average price for December but are marked to market as of the year-end balance sheet date. No adjustment has been made to the figures for the pre- vious year since the amount involved is insignificant. VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN RELATION TO INSURANCE-SPECIFIC POSITIONS INVESTMENTS IN RESPECT OF INSURANCE BUSINESS Real estate is valued at the market price. The market value of a property Real estate is calculated as its capitalised rental income at the interest rate applied in the country or market in question. Undeveloped plots of land and buildings under construction are carried at cost. Bonds and loans are valued according to the amortised cost Bonds and loans method. The difference between the purchase price and the redemption value is distributed over the remaining life so that a constant yield is achieved. The correspond- ing valuation adjustment is shown under the position “Net investment income from insurance business”. Default risk is accounted for through the use of write-downs. Inter-company transactions and unrealised gains have been eliminated, with the exception of assets booked as investments from insurance business. Listed shares are marked to market at year-end. Unlisted shares are valued Shares at cost. If the yield or intrinsic value is endangered, a valuation adjustment is made. Derivatives and other financial instruments are generally used to hedge Derivatives the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognised assets, liabilities and firm commitments. Any gains and losses are therefore recognised in the income statement together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. Investments for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the invest- Investments for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the ment risk investment risk are carried at their market value. 59
  • 18. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Statement of higher and lower values arising from the uniform valuation of Higher or lower investments in the Group accounts and revaluation reserves values arising from the uniform valuation of investments in the Group accounts in com- parison with the figures contained in the statutory accounts are recorded as follows: Valuation differences resulting from the revaluation of fixed-interest securities and mortgages, unlisted shares and non-consolidated long-term holdings are included in the income statement (under “Net investment income from insurance business”). In the case of listed shares and real estate, compensated write-downs in respect of the difference between the balance sheet value in the statutory accounts and the cost value are stated in the income statement (“Net investment income from insurance business”). Valuation differences between cost and market values are allocated to shareholders’ equity (“Revaluation reserves from the insurance business”) directly, with- out affecting the income statement, after deferred tax has been taken into account. In the life insurance business, policyholders normally share in the gains realised on the basis of statutory accounts. The valuation of technical provisions is determined by pre- Technical provisions sumed liabilities in respect of policyholders and claimants. As a rule, calculations are made individually, i.e. per insurance contract or claim. Statistical or mathematical calculation methods are applied if these produce approximately the same results and if they conform to the procedures approved by the supervisory authorities of the individual countries in question. Technical provisions for life business are calculated with regard to local regulations. The surplus due to policyholders is accounted for on the basis of the resolutions passed by the individual companies as to the distribution of profit.
