The purchases and sales arising under these arrangements are not reflected in these financial statements as such, but are restricted to the amount of facility actually utilised and the appropriate portion of mark-up thereon.
3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The requirements of these standards have not been followed in preparation of these financial statements as the State Bank of Pakistan has deferred the implementation of these standards for the banks in Pakistan till further instructions.

However, investments have been classified in accordance with the requirements prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan for financial statements.
4. DISCONTINUING OPERATION

On October 28, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Bank approved a plan to segregate its business of Islamic Banking into a separate entity.

The segregation reflects Bank's plan to remain competitive with ever increasing competition in the local market and become the premier Islamic bank.

Resultantly, in order to achieve this objective the Board feels that the Islamic Banking Division should be converted into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

As of December 31, 2005 the Islamic Banking Division's assets were Rs 15,320 million and its liabilities were Rs 13,999 million.

During 2005, Islamic Banking Division earned revenue of Rs 622.368 million, incurred expenses of Rs 579.576 million and earned a pre-tax profit of Rs 42.792 million with a related tax expense (including current and deferred tax) of Rs 14.38 million.

5. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of investments in Market Treasury Bills, Pakistan Investment Bonds, Federal Investment Bonds and listed securities and in conformity with the accented accounting practices of banking institutions in Pakistan.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of approved accounting standards that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 38.

The income tax assessments of the bank have been finalised upto and including tax year 2005.

Matters of disagreement exist between the bank and tax authorities for various assessment years and are pending with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) and High Court of Sindh.

The issues mainly relate to addition of mark-up in suspense to income, taxability of profit on government securities, bad debts written off and disallowance relating to profit and loss expenses.

However, adequate provision has been made in the financial statements in this respect.

During the year the Bank has been selected for tax audit in respect of Tax Year 2004 and the notice under section 176

of Income Tax Ordinance 2001 has been issued by the Tax Department (LTU). The audit is expected to be finalised in 2006.

Further, during the year, various appeals have also been decided in bank's favour.

* 20 percent of saving deposits have been classified in each of up to three months, over three months to one year and over one year to five years category with the remaining 40 percent being classified under the over five years category based on management's experience with such class of deposits.

However, contractually these deposits are payable on demand.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the bank will not be able to raise funds to meet its commitments.

The bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee manages the liquidity position on a continuous basis.

The Committee monitors the maintenance of balance sheet liquidity ratios, depositors' concentration both in terms of the overall funding mix and avoidance of undue reliance on large individual deposits and liquidity contingency plans.

Moreover, core retail deposits (current accounts and saving accounts) form a considerable part of the bank's overall funding therefore significant importance is attached to the stability and growth of these deposits.

* 20 percent of saving deposits have been classified in each of upto three months, over three months to one year and over one year to five years category with the remaining 40 percent being classified under the over five years category based on management's experience with such class of deposits.

However, contractually these deposits are payable on demand.

35.1. The interest rate risk arises from the fluctuation in the value of financial instruments consequent to the changes in the market interest rates.

The bank is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of mismatches or gaps in the amounts of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments that mature or are re-priced in a given period.

In order to ensure that this risk is managed within acceptable limits, the bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee monitors the re-pricing of the assets and liabilities on a regular basis.

The bank's interest rate risk is limited since the majority of customer's deposits are retrospectively re-priced on a biannual basis on the profit and loss sharing principles.

Hence bank's exposure in three months to one-year time as mentioned above has no impact on bank's results.

* The off-balance sheet items have been valued at year end rates.

36.1. Currency risk arises from the fluctuation in the value of financial instruments consequent to the changes in foreign exchange rates.

The bank manages this risk by setting and monitoring dealer, currency and counter-party limits for on and off balance sheet financial instruments.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments are contracts, the characteristics of which are derived from those of underlying assets.

These include forwards and swaps in foreign exchange market.

The bank's exposure in these instruments represents forward foreign exchange contracts on behalf of customers in import and export transactions and forward sales and purchases on behalf of customers in the inter-bank market.

The risks associated with forward exchange contracts are managed by matching the maturities and fixing counter-party, dealers' intra-day and overnight limits.

The exposure of the bank to currency risk is also restricted by the statutory limit on aggregate exposure enforced by the State Bank of Pakistan.

38. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The bank makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Provision against non performing loans and advances

The Bank reviews its loan porffolio to assess amount of non performing loans and advances and provision required there against on a quarterly basis.

The provision is made in accordance with prudential regulations issued by State Bank of Pakistan.

The forced sale values are estimated by independent valuations of the assets mortgaged/pledged.

The provision will change due to changes in prudential regulations relating to increased percentage against substandard debts and increased discounting of forced sale values.

(b) Classification of Investments

Management decides on acquisition of an investment whether it should be classified as held to maturity, held for trading, or available for sale.

Held to maturity

The Bank follows the guidance provided in the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) circulars on classifying non-derivatives financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-to-maturity.

In making this judgement, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.

Held for trading

Classification of investments as held for trading depends on the criteria let by the pronouncement of SBP vide its circular and how management monitor the performance of these investments and have readily available reliable fair values and the changes in fair values are reported as part of profit or loss in the financial statements.

Available for sale

All other investments are classified as available for sale.

(c) Valuation of unquoted equity investments.

The Bank estimates impairment to the investment in unqoted equity securities based on factors such as:

-- the expected cashflows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risks characteristics;

-- Break-up value of unquoted equity investments;

-- Other valuation models.

(d) Income taxes

In making the estimates for income taxes currently payable by the Bank, the management looks at the current income tax law and the decisions of appellate authorities on certain issues in the past.

There are various matters where bank's view differs with the view taken by the income tax department and such amounts are shown as contingent liability.
39. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND DEPOSITS

Credit risk management

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counterparts failed to perform as contracted.

The bank has built-up and maintained a sound loan portfolio in terms of well-defined Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors.

It's credit evaluation system comprises of well-designed credit appraisal, sanctioning and review procedures for the purpose of emphasising prudence in its lending activities and ensuring quality of asset portfolio.

Special attention is paid by the management in respect of non-performing loans. A separate Credit Monitoring Cell (CMC) is operational at the Head Office.

A "watchlist" procedure is also functioning which identifies loans showing early warning signals of becoming non-performing.

The Bank constantly monitors overall credit exposure and takes analytical and systematic approaches to its credit structure categorised by group and industry.

The credit portfolio is well diversified sectorally with manufacturing and exports accounting for the bulk of the financing which is considered to be low risk due to the nature of underlying security.
