All the above subsidiaries are included in the group's consolidated financial statements. All these subsidiaries make their financial statements up to 31 December.

The principal places of business are the same as the places of incorporation except for HSBC Life (International) Limited which operates mainly in Hong Kong.

The proportion of voting rights held is the same as the proportion of ownership interest held.

The principal subsidiaries are regulated banking and insurance entities in the Asia-Pacific region and, as such, are required to maintain certain minimum levels of capital and liquid assets to support their operations. The effect of these regulatory requirements is to limit the extent to which the subsidiaries may transfer funds to the Bank in the form of repayment of shareholder loans or cash dividends.

Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. is listed on recognised stock exchanges. The fair value represents valuation based on the quoted market price of the shares held (Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and amounted to HK$79,160m at 31 December 2016 (2015: HK$77,039m).

Bank of Communications Co., Limited ('BoCom')

The group's significant influence in BoCom was established via representation on BoCom's Board of Directors, and a Technical Cooperation and Exchange Programme ('TCEP'). Under the TCEP, a number of HSBC staff have been seconded to assist in the maintenance of BoCom's financial and operating policies.

Impairment testing

At 31 December 2016, the fair value of HSBC's investment in BoCom had been below the carrying amount for approximately 56 months. As a result, the group performed an impairment test on the carrying amount, which confirmed that there was no impairment at 31 December 2016.

Basis of recoverable amount

The impairment test was performed by comparing the recoverable amount of BoCom, determined by a value in use ('VIU') calculation, with its carrying amount. The VIU calculation used discounted cash flow projections based on management's estimates of earnings. Cash flows beyond the short to medium-term were then extrapolated in perpetuity using a long-term growth rate. An imputed capital maintenance charge ('CMC') is calculated to reflect expected regulatory capital requirements, and is deducted from forecast cash flows. The principal inputs to the CMC calculation include estimates of asset growth, the ratio of risk-weighted assets to total assets, and the expected regulatory capital requirements. Management judgement is required in estimating the future cash flows of BoCom.

Key assumptions in VIU calculation

-- Long-term profit growth rate: 5% (2015: 5%) for periods after 2019, which does not exceed forecast GDP growth in mainland China.

-- Long-term asset growth rate: 4% (2015: 4%) for periods after 2019, which is the rate that assets are expected to grow to achieve long-term profit growth of 5%.

-- Discount rate: 13% (2015: 13%) which is derived from a range of values obtained by applying a capital asset pricing model ('CAPM') calculation for BoCom, using market data. Management also compares rates derived from the CAPM with discount rates from external sources and the Group's discount rate for evaluating investments in mainland China. The discount rate used was within the range of 10.2% to 15.0% (2015: 10.1% to 14.2%) indicated by the CAPM and external sources.

-- Loan impairment charge as a percentage of customer advances: a range from 0.72% to 0.87% (2015: 0.71% to 0.78%) in the short to medium-term and are based on the forecasts disclosed by external analysts. For periods after 2019, the ratio is 0.7% (2015: 0.7%), slightly higher than the historical average.

-- Risk-weighted assets as a percentage of total assets: 62% for all forecast periods (2015: 67% for all forecast periods). This is consistent with medium-term forecasts disclosed by external analysts.

-- Cost-income ratio: 40% (2015: 41%) in the short to medium-term. The ratios were consistent with the short to medium-term range forecasts of 39.9% to 40.2% (2015: 40.3% to 40.7%) disclosed by external analysts.

The following table shows the change to each key assumption in the VIU calculation that on its own would reduce the headroom to nil.

The following table further illustrates the impact on VIU of reasonably possible changes to key assumptions. This reflects the sensitivity of the VIU to each key assumption on its own and it is possible that more than one favourable and/or unfavourable change may occur at the same time.

   c    Valuation of land and buildings and investment properties 

The group's land and buildings and investment properties were revalued in November 2016 and updated for any material changes at 31 December 2016. The basis of valuation for land and buildings and investment properties

was open market value, depreciated replacement cost or surrender value as noted in note 1(a)(vii). The resultant values are Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers in to or out of Level 3 during the year (2015: nil). The fair values for land and buildings are determined by using direct comparison approach which values the properties in their respective existing states and uses, assuming sale with immediate vacant possession and by

making reference to comparable sales evidence. The valuations take into account the characteristics of the properties (unobservable inputs) which include the location, size, shape, view, floor level, year of completion and other factors collectively. The premium or discount applied to the characteristics of the properties is within minus 20 percent and plus 20 percent. In determining the open market value of investment properties, expected future cash flows have been discounted to their present values. The net book value of 'Land and buildings' includes HK$12,249m

(2015: HK$12,627m) in respect of properties which were valued using the depreciated replacement cost method or surrender value.

Land and buildings and investment properties in Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China, represent 96% by value of the group's properties subject to valuation. The valuations were carried out by DTZ Cushman & Wakefield Limited who have recent experience in the location and type of properties and who are members of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. Properties in eleven countries, representing 4% by value of the group's properties, were valued by different independent professionally qualified valuers.
