    Note 1: The "advanced approach" refers to the advanced measurement approach set out in the "Capital Rules for Commercial Banks (Provisional)" issued by CBRC on 7 June 2012 (same as below). Under the advanced approach, the core Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio and the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio of the Group and the Company remain consistent. In accordance with the requirements of the advanced approach, the scope of entities for calculating the capital adequacy ratio of the Group shall include China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The scope of entities for calculating the capital adequacy ratio of the Company shall include all the domestic and overseas branches and sub- branches of China Merchants Bank. As at 31 March 2016, the Group's subsidiaries for calculating its capital adequacy ratio included Wing Lung Bank Limited, CMB International Capital Corporation Limited, CMB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. and China Merchants Fund Management Co., Ltd. During the parallel run period when the advanced capital measurement approaches were implemented, a commercial bank shall use the capital floor adjustment co-efficients to adjust the amount of its risk-weighted assets multiplying the sum of its minimum capital requirement and reserve capital requirement, total amount of capital deductions and the provision for excessive loan loss which can be included into capital. The capital floor adjustment co-efficients shall be 95%, 90% and 80% respectively in the first year, the second year, and the third and subsequent years during the parallel run period. 2016 is the second year since implementation of the parallel run period.

    Note 2: Since 2015, the leverage ratio shall be calculated based on the "Measures for the Administration of the Leverage Ratio of Commercial Banks (Revised)" promulgated by CBRC on 12 February 2015. In 2014, the leverage ratio and total on and off balance sheet assets were still calculated based on the "Measures for the Administration of the Leverage Ratio of Commercial Banks" promulgated by CBRC on 1 June 2011.

    As at 31 March 2016, the capital adequacy ratio and the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio of the Company under the advanced approach were 13.66% and 11.85% respectively.
