NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECMBER 31, 2006 1. STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS Allied Bank Limited (the bank), incorporated in Pakistan, is a scheduled bank engaged in commercial banking and related services. The bank is listed on all stock exchanges in Pakistan. The bank operates a total of 742 (2005: 741) branches in Pakistan, The medium to long term credit rating of the bank rated by JCR- VIS Credit Rating Company Limited is 'A+' with a positive outlook. Short term rating of the bank is 'A- 1+', The bank is a holding company of Allied Management Services (Private) Limited. The registered office of the bank is situated in Lahore whereas the principal office is situated at Khayaban-e-lqbal, Main Clifton Road, Bath Island, Karachi. 1.1 During the year, the Board of Directors of the bank, in their meeting held on April 28. 2006. decided to merge First Allied Bank Modaraba (FABM) with Allied Bank Limited (ABL), pursuant to Section 48 of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and approved the Scheme of Amalgamation of the FABM with and into ABL under section 284 to 288 read with section 503(1)(C) of the Companies Ordinance. 1984. The effective date of the said amalgamation was fixed at January 01, 2006. The proposed Scheme of Amalgamation was adopted by the shareholders of the bank through a special resolution passed in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on June 24, 2006. The said Scheme of Amalgamation was approved by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in principle through its letter No. BPD (PU- 31)/625- 74/10473/ JD/2006/4742 dated May 27. 2006. The Lahore High Court, subsequently, sanctioned the above referred Scheme of Amalgamation vide its order dated July 12, 2006. 1.2 As a result of the amalgamation of the FABM with the bank on the above- mentioned effective date, the results of both entities have been combined for the purposes of preparation of these financial statements. International Accounting Standard- 22 "Business Combinations" is not applicable to the amalgamated financial statements, as the amalgamation is between two enterprises under common control. The bank has applied the "uniting of interests" method to account for the amalgamation. In applying the "uniting of interests" method, the financial statement items of bank and FABM for all periods presented are included in these financial statements as if they had been combined from the beginning of the earliest period presented, i.e., January 01, 2005, except for the treatment accorded to 8.400,000 Ordinary shares of Rs.10 each, determined pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation in accordance with the share- swap ratio stipulated therein. The resulting effects of the above have been included in the Statement of Changes in Equity in the relevant period on account of the fact that the Ordinary shares were issued subsequent to the beginning of the earliest period presented. 1.3 The comparatives in the accompanying balance sheet of the bank as at December 31, 2005 and comparatives in the accompanying profit and loss account, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity relating to the year ended December 31 2005 comprise (a) balances of ABL and (b) balances of FABM. 2(a). BASIS OF PRESENTATION In accordance with the directives of the Federal Government regarding the shifting of the banking system to Islamic modes, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has issued various circulars from time to time. Permissible forms of trade- related modes of financing include purchase of goods by banks from their customers and immediate resafe to them at appropriate mark- up in price on deferred payment basis. 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 utilized and the appropriate portion of mark- up thereon. 2(b). BASIS OF MEASUREMENT These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain operating fixed assets are stated at revalued amounts, certain investments are stated at market value and derivative financial instruments have been marked to market. 3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 3.1 These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the directives issued by the State Bank of Pakistan. The Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards as are notified under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Wherever the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, the Companies Ordinance, 1984 or directives issued by the State Bank of Pakistan differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and the said directives take precedence. 3.2 Amendments to the following standard have been published that are applicable to the bank's financial statements covering annual periods, beginning on or after the following date: Effective from (i) IAS - 1 Presentation of financial statements - Capital Disclosures January 01, 2007 Adoption of the above amendment would result in an impact to the extent of disclosures presented in the future financial statements of the bank, In addition to above, a new series of standards called 'International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)" have been introduced and seven IFRSs have been issued by IASB. Out of these, following three IFRSs have been adopted by SECP vide its S.R.O. (1)2006 dated December 06, 2006. (i) IFRS - 2 "Share- based Payments": (ii) IFRS - 3 "Business Combinations": and (iii) IFRS - 5 "Non- current Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations". The bank expects that the adoption of these standards mentioned above will have no significant impact on the bank's financial statements in the period of initial application. 3.3 The SBP, vide BSD Circular No, 10. dated August 26, 2002 has deferred the applicability of International Accounting Standard 39. Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) and International Accounting Standard 40. Investment Property (IAS 40) for banking companies till further instructions. Accordingly, the requirements of these standards have not been considered in the preparation of these financial statements. However, investments have been classified in accordance with the categories prescribed by the SBP, vide BSD Circular No. 10, dated July 13, 2004. 3.4 The bank has obtained a waiver from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. 4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting judgments. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the bank's accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience including expectations on future events that are believed to be reasonable under these circumstances. The areas where various assumptions and estimates are significant to the banks financial statements or where judgment was exercised in application of accounting policies described in notes 7.1 to 7.16 are as follows: 4.1 Investments As described in note 7.4, held for trading are securities which are either acquired for generating a profit from short- term fluctuations in market prices or dealer's margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short- term profit taking exists, held to maturity are investments where the management has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and available for sale-securities are investments that do not fall under the held for trading or held to maturity categories. The classification of these securities involves management judgement at the time of purchase whether the financial assets are held for trading, held to maturity or available for sale investments. 4.2 Provision against non- performing advances Apart from the provision determined on the basis of time- based criteria given in Prudential Regulations, the management also applies the subjective criteria of classification, and, accordingly, the classification of advances is downgraded on the basis of credit worthiness of the borrower, its cash flows, operations in account and adequacy of security in order, to ensure accurate measurement of the provision. In addition to the specific provision held against loans and advances, the bank also makes a general provision of 5% of unsecured and 1.5% of the fully secured consumer/credit card financing portfolio. 4.3 Retirement Benefits The key actuarial assumptions concerning the valuation of defined benefit plans and the sources of estimation are disclosed in note 36 to the financial statements. 4.4 Useful life of property and equipment Estimates of useful life of the property and equipment are based on the management's best estimate. Changes in the expected useful life are accounted for by changing the depreciationmortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimate. 5 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE 5.1 Property and equipment/Intangible assets During the year, the management decided to charge depreciationmortization expense on its property and equipment and intangible assets on a proportionate basis. Previously, the bank was charging full year's depreciation on assets acquired during the year and no depreciation was charged on assets disposed off during the year. As per the new method, depreciation on additions is charged from the month the asset is available for use and on disposals up to the month preceding the month of disposal. This change has been accounted for prospectively, in accordance with the revised IAS-8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". Had there been no change in estimate, the profit for the year and the carrying value of property and equipment at the end of the current year would have been lower by Rs. 91.21 million. 6 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used in the previous financial years except that during the year, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan issued a Circular No. 06/2006 dated June 19, 2006 which requires all declarations of dividend to holders of equity instruments. including declaration of bonus issues and other appropriations, except appropriations which are required by law after the balance sheet date not to be recognized as liabilities or change in reserves at the balance sheet date, which also is in compliance with the requirements set out in BSD Circular No. 4, dated February 17. 2006. Previously all declarations of dividends to holders of equity instruments and transfers to reserves relating to profit for the year although declared subsequent to year end were accounted for in the year to which they were related. This change has been applied retrospectively and comparatives have been restated. In accordance with the treatment specified in IAS-8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". The change in accounting policy has the following impact on the financial statements: ====================================================================================== December 31, December 31, 2006 2005 Rupees in '000 ====================================================================================== Other liabilities would have been higher by 1,122,160 1,101,160 Unappropriated profit would have been lower by (1,122,160) (1,101,160) Share premium would have been lower by' (897,728) - Reserve for issue of bonus 897,728 - shares would have been higher by ======================================================================================The effect of change in accounting policy has been reflected in the statement of changes in equity. The change in accounting policy has not resulted in any change in the profit for the current year. As disclosed in note 46, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on February 26, 2007 announced bonus issue of 20%, which shall be applied against share premium. 7 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 7.1 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances with treasury banks and balances with other banks (net of overdrawn nostro balances) in current and deposit accounts. 7.2 Lendings to / borrowings from financial institutions The bank enters into transactions of borrowing (repurchase) from and lending (reverse repurchase) to financial institutions, at contracted rates for a specified period of time. These are recorded as under: (a) Sale under repurchase obligations Securities sold subject to a re-purchase agreement are retained in the financial statements as investments and the counter party liability is included in borrowings from financial institutions, The differential in sale and re-purchase value is accrued on a prorata basis and recorded as interest expense. (b) Purchase under resale obligations Securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repurchase) are included in lendings to financial institutions, The differential between the contracted price and resale price is amortised over the period of the contract and recorded as interest income. 7.3 Trade date accounting All "regular way" purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the bank commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place. 7.4 Investments The management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and classifies these investments as held for trading, available for sale or held to maturity. These are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given including the acquisition cost. (a) Held for trading These are securities which are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in market prices or dealer's margin or are securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit taking exists. (b) Held to maturity These are securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. (c) Available for sale These are investments that do not fall under the held for trading or held to maturity categories. In accordance with the requirements of the SBP, quoted securities, other than those classified as held to maturity and investments in subsidiaries are carried at market value. Investments classified as held to maturity are required to be carried at amortized cost whereas investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in accordance with the relevant International Accounting Standard as applicable in Pakistan. The unrealized surplus/(deficit) arising on revaluation of the bank's held for trading investment portfolio is taken to the profit and loss account. The surplus/(deficit) arising on revaluation of quoted securities classified as available for sale is kept in a separate account shown in the balance sheet below equity. The surplus/(deficit) arising on these securities is taken to the profit and loss account when actually realised upon disposal. Unquoted equity securities are valued at the lower of cost and break-up value. Subsequent increases or decreases the carrying value are credited/charged to profit and loss account. Break-up value of equity securities is calculated with reference to the net assets of the investee company as per the latest available audited financial statements. Investments in other unquoted securities are valued at cost less impairment losses, if any. Provision for diminution in the value of securities (except for debentures, participation term certificates and term finance certificates) is made after considering impairment. if any, in their value. Provision for diminution in value of debentures, participation term certificates and term finance certificates are made in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP. Profit and loss on sale of investments is included in income currently. 7.5 Advances (including net investment in finance lease) Advances are stated net of general and specific provisions: Specific provision against funded loans are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Prudential Regulations issued by the SBP and charged to the profit and loss account. General provision is maintained at 1.5% of the fully secured consumer portfolio and 5% of the unsecured consumer portfolio. Leases, where the bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset are classified as finance leases. A receivable is recognized at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including guaranteed residual value, if any. Advances are written off when there are no realistic prospects of recovery. hs2/7.6 Operating fixed assets and depreciation Owned Property and equipment, other than land which is not depreciated, are stated at cost or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method, except buildings which are depreciated using the reducing balance method to write down the cost of property and equipment to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, The rates at which the fixed assets are depreciated are disclosed in note 13.2. Surplus arising on revaluation of fixed assets is credited to surplus on revaluation of fixed assets account, Deficit arising on subsequent revaluation of fixed assets is adjusted against the balance in the above mentioned surplus account as allowed under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. The surplus on revaluation of fixed assets to the extent of incremental depreciation charged on the related assets, is transferred to equity. An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal, Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in the profit and loss account in the year the asset is derecognized, except that the related surplus on revaluation of fixed assets (net of deferred tax) is transferred directly to equity. The cost of day to day servicing (normal repairs and maintenance) are charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred. Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses if any. The cost of intangible assets is amortized over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method. Amortization is charged at the rate stated in note 13.3. Capital work- in- progress Capital work- in- progress is stated at cost. 7.7 Taxation Current Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing laws for taxation on income earned. The charge for current tax is calculated using the prevailing tax rates or tax rates expected to apply to the profits for the year. The charge f or current tax also includes adjustments. where considered necessary relating to prior years. arising from assessments tinalised during the year for such years. Deferred Deferred tax is recognised on all major temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the amounts attributed to asset and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes. In addition, the bank also records a deferred tax asset on available tax losses, Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the periods when the differences will reverse based on far rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilized.

The Circular requires the bank to create provision at a rate of 25 percent, instead of 10 percent of non-performing advances, in the substandard category after adjustment of the Forced Sale Value (FSV) of assets held as collateral against such non performing advances while determining the provision requirement. Additionally. BSD Circular No. 7, dated November 01, 2005, issued by the SBP restricted the benefit of the Forced Sale Value (FSV) of the collateral to financing facilities of Rs.10 million and above with effect from December 31, 2006, as against the previous requirement to restrict the same to financing facilities of Rs.5 million and above, for the purposes of determining provision against non-performing advances. The bank has made a provision of Rs. 260.02 million in order to comply with the requirements of above circulars. Had the above referred increase, in the rate of provision for substandard category and increase in the limit of financing for taking the benefit of the FSV not taken place, profit before taxation for the year and advances (net of provision) at the end of the year would have been higher by Rs. 260.02 million. 12.6 Particulars of write offs: 12.6.1 ====================================================================================== December 31, December 31, Note 2006 2005 Rupees in '000 ====================================================================================== Against Provision 12.5 1,570,418 2,318,338 Directly charged to Profit &Lose account 136,189 160.059 ====================================================================================== 1,706,607 2,478,397 ======================================================================================12.6.2 ====================================================================================== December 31, December 31, Note 2006 2005 Rupees in '000 ====================================================================================== Write Offs of Rs. 500,000 and above 12.7 1,196,664 2,437,559 Write Offs of Below Rs. 500,000 509,943 40,838 1,706,607 2,478,397 ======================================================================================12.7 Details of loan write off of Rs. 500,000/- And above In terms of sub-section (3) of Section 33A of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962. the Statement in respect of written-off loans or any other financial relief of five hundred thousand rupees and above allowed to a person(s) during the year ended December 31, 2006 is given in Annexure - II.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The bank at present does not offer structured derivative products such as Interest Rate Swaps. Forward Rate Agreements or FX Options. However, the bank's Treasury buys and sells derivative instruments such as: - Forward Exchange Contracts - Foreign Exchange Swaps - Equity Futures Forward Exchange Contracts (with Importers and Exporters) Forward Exchange Contract (FEC) is a product which is offered to the obligor who transact internationally. These traders use this product to hedge themselves from unfavorable movements in a foreign currency. however, by agreeing to fix the exchange rate, they do not benefit from favorable movements in that currency. An FEC is a contract between the Obligor and the bank in which both agree to exchange an amount of one currency for another currency at an agreed forward exchange rate for settlement more than two business days after the FEC is entered into (the day on which settlement occurs is called the value date). FEC is entered with those Obligors whose credit worthiness has already been assessed. If the relevant exchange rate moves un-favourably, the bank will loose money. and Obligor will benefit from that movement because the bank must exchange currencies at the FEC rate. In order to mitigate this risk of adverse exchange rate movement, the bank hedges its exposure by taking forward position in inter-bank FX. Foreign Exchange Swaps A Foreign Exchange Swap (FX Swap) is used by the bank if it has a need to exchange one currency for another currency on one day and then re-exchange those currencies at a later date, Exchange rates and forward margins are determined in the "interbank" market and fluctuate according to supply and demand. An FX Swap prevents the bank from gaining any benefit resulting from a favourable exchange rate movement in the relevant currency pair between the time bank enters into the transaction deal and when settlement occurs. Cancellation of the swap may also result in exposure to market movements. The key advantage of an FX swap is that it provides the bank with protection against unfavourable currency movements between the time it enters into the transaction and settlement, The term and amounts for FX Swap can also be tailored to suit the bank's particular needs. Equity Futures An equity futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a futures counter of the stock exchange, to buy or sell a certain underlying scrip at a certain date in the future, at a specified price. The bank uses equity futures as a hedging instrument to hedge its equity portfolio, in both held for trading and available for sale, against equity price risk. Only selected shares are allowed to be traded on futures exchange. Equity futures give flexibility to the bank either to take delivery on the future settlement date or to settle it by adjusting the notional value of the contract based on the current market rates. Maximum exposure limit to the equity futures is 10% of Tier I Capital of the bank. The accounting policies used to recognize and disclose derivatives are given in note 7.15.2. 25.

Each director was paid Rs. 5,000 per meeting for each meeting attended during the year. 38.2 The Chief Executive, Directors and certain executives are also provided with other facilities, including free use of the bank maintained cars. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of traded investments is based on quoted market prices, except for securities classified by the bank as held to maturity. Fair value of unquoted equity investments is determined on the basis of break up value of these investments as per the latest available audited accounts. Fair value of fixed term loans, other assets, other liabilities and fixed term deposits cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to the absence of current and active market for such assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar instruments. The provision for impairment of loans and advances has been calculated in accordance with the bank's accounting policy as stated in note 7.5. The maturity and repricing profile and effective rates are stated in notes 43.3.1 and 43.2.3 respectively. In the opinion of the management, the fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their carrying values since assets and liabilities are either short-term in nature or in the case of customer loans and deposits are frequently repriced. 40.

RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management is a continuous process which addresses all significant risks to which the bank is exposed. The process begins with the formulation of business objectives and strategies and encompasses the identification, assessment and measurement, monitoring and control of specific banking risks. The process is completed by the monitoring of current business objectives and strategies. Categories of Risk Our risk management processes distinguish among four kinds of specific banking risks: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. Credit Risk This risk is defined as the possibility of loss due to unexpected default or a deterioration of credit worthiness of a business partner. Credit Risk includes Country Risk i.e., the risks that counterparty is unable to meet its foreign currency obligations as a result of adverse economic conditions or actions taken by governments in the relevant country. Market Risk The risk of loss generated by adverse changes in the price of assets or contracts currently held by the bank (this risk is also known as price risk). Liquidity Risk The risk that the bank is unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn; the consequences of which may be the failure to meet obligations to repay depositors and fulfill commitments to lend. Operational Risk The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Risk Responsibilities - The Board is accountable for the management of risk. This is discharged by defining the scope of risk management activities within the Risk Management Group, distributing responsibilities at Board level for their management and determining the manner in which risk authorities are set. - The Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC) determines standards and policies for risk measurement and management. These standards and policies are proposed by Risk Management Committee (RMC). who is also accountable for providing independent assurance that risk is being managed. measured and controlled in conformity with RMG policies and standards. - The President and Group Chiefs are accountable for the management of risk collectively through their membership of risk committees: Risk Management Committee and Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO). - Independent supervision of risk management activities is provided by Audit Committee, - Day-to-day operational responsibility for implementing the Bank's risk management policies and guidelines is delegated to the appropriate business units. Risk Management Group Organization Risk management functions have been segregated by business specialization, i.e., Credit Risk. Credit Administration, Risk Architecture, Portfolio Management Operational Risk and Market Risk. All these functions are operating in tandem to improve and maintain the health of the lending portfolio. 43.1 Credit Risk Credit risk, the potential default of one or more debtors, is the largest source of risk for the bank. The bank is exposed to credit risk through its lending, trading and capital market activities. The bank's credit risk function is divided into Corporate and Financial Institutions Risk and Commercial and Retail Risk. The functions operate within an integrated framework of credit policies, guidelines and processes. The foundation of the bank's credit management framework is based on a systematic approval matrices introduced in 2005, which was followed with credit risk assessment methodology introduced in 2006 through a new Credit Application Package. The bank manages 3 principal sources of credit risk: i) Sovereign credit risk on its public sector advances ii) Non-sovereign credit risk on its private sector advances iii) Counterparty credit risk on interbank limits Sovereign Credit Risk When the bank lends to public sector borrowers, it prefers obtaining a full sovereign guarantee or the equivalent from the Government of Pakistan (GOP). However, certain public sector enterprises have a well defined cash flow stream and appropriate business model, based on which the lending is secured through collaterals other than GOP guarantee. Non-Sovereign Credit Risk When the bank lends to private sector borrowers it does not benefit from sovereign guarantees or the equivalent. Consequently, each borrower's credit worthiness is analyzed on the newly introduced Credit Application Package that incorporates a formalized and structured approach for credit analysis and directs the focus of evaluation towards a balanced assessment of credit risk with identification of proper mitigants. These risks include Industry Risk, Business Risk, Financial Risk, Security Risk and Account Performance Risk. Financial analysis is further strengthened through use of separate financial spreadsheet templates that have been designed for manufacturing/ trading concerns, financial institutions and insurance companies. Counter Party Credit Risk on Interbank Limits In the normal course of its business, the bank's Treasury utilizes products such as REPO and call lending to meet the needs of the borrowers and manage its exposure to fluctuations in market, interest and currency rates and to temporarily invest its liquidity prior to disbursement. All of these financial instruments involve, to varying degrees. the risk that the counter party in the transaction may be unable to meet its obligation to the bank. Reflecting a preference for minimizing exposure to counterparty credit risk, the bank maintains eligibility criteria that link the exposure limits to counterparty credit ratings by external rating agencies. For example. the minimum rating for counterparties to be eligible for a banking relationship with the bank is BBB. Country Risk The bank has in place a Country Risk Management Policy which has been approved by the Board. This policy focuses on international exposure undertaken by the bank. The bank utilizes country risk rating assessment reports published by Dun & Bradstreet Limited (an international credit rating agency) which use political, commercial, macroeconomic and external risk factors in assigning a country risk rating. The country risk limits used by the bank are linked to the Dun & Bradstreet ratings and FlD is responsible for monitoring of country exposure limits. Credit Administration Credit Administration is involved in minimizing losses that could arise due to security and documentation deficiencies. The Credit Administration Division constantly monitors the security and documentation risks inherent in the existing credit portfolio through six regional credit administration departments located all over the country. Portfolio Management To ensure a prudent distribution of credit portfolio, the bank manages its lending activities within a framework of Borrower, Group and Sector exposure limits and risk profile benchmarks. Portfolio Risk Measurement Models The bank has developed internal risk rating models to assign credit risk ratings to its Corporate and Institutional borrowers. These models are based on expert judgment, comprising of both quantitative and qualitative factors. The ratings are assigned at Portfolio Management Level and are given due weightage while extending credit to these asset classes. Stress Testing The bank is also conducting stress testing of its existing portfolio, which includes all assets, i.e., advances as well as investments. This exercise is conducted on a semi-annual basis in line with regulatory requirements. This testing is conducted through assigning shocks to all assets of the bank and assessing its resulting affect on capital adequacy. Early Warning System In order to ensure that monitoring of the regular lending portfolio focuses on problem recognition, an early warning system in the form of a 'Watch-List' category has being instituted to cover the gap between Regular and Substandard categories. Identification of an account on the said 'Watch-List' influences the lending branch to carry Out an assessment of the borrower's ability to rectify the identified problem / weakness within a reasonable time-frame, consider tighter structuring of facilities, confirm that there are no critical deficiencies in the existing security position and, if possible, arrange for strengthening of the same through obtaining additional collateral. -It should however, be noted that the Watch-List category of accounts is part of the Bank's Regular portfolio and does not require any provisioning. In some cases, an account may even be downgraded directly from a Regular to Sub-Standard or worse on subjective basis based on the severity of the trigger involved, Management of Non Performing Loans The Bank has a Special Asset Management Group (SAM). which is responsible for management of non performing loans, SAM undertakes restructuring / rescheduling of problem loans, as well as litigation both civil and criminal for collection of debt. For the non-performing loan portfolio, the bank makes a specific provision based on an assessment of the credit impairment of each loan. At the end of 2006, the average specific provisioning rate was 73.08% of the non-performing loan portfolio. The accounting policies and methods used to determine specific and general provision are given in the note numbers 7 and 12 to these financial statements. The movement in specific and general provision held is given in note 12.5 to these financial statements. Portfolio Diversification During the year 2006 the banking sector advances in Pakistan grew by 18% whereas growth in the bank's advances was 27%. The growth pattern indicates that the bank has outpaced overall credit growth of banking sector, while concomitantly maintaining healthy Advances to Deposit Ratio and Capital Adequacy Ratio. While expanding the advances portfolio, efficient portfolio diversification has been a key consideration. The diversification takes into account the volatility of various sectors by placing concentration limits on lending to these sectors thereby ensuring a diversified advances portfolio.

Market Risk Function has been partially set up with current responsibility of performing basic market risk measurement, monitoring and control functions. However, to give it a formal structure, we expect to appoint a consultant within the first quarter of 2007, for assistance in establishment of Market Risk Management Framework. Risk Pertaining to the Trading Book Trading Book A trading book consists of positions in financial instruments held either with trading intent or in order to hedge other elements of the trading book. To be eligible for trading book, financial instruments must be held with the intent of trading and free of any restrictive covenants on their tradability. In addition, positions need to be frequently and accurately valued and the portfolio should be actively managed. The bank's trading book includes equity securities classified as 'Held for Trading'. These positions are actively managed by treasury as part of their capital market activities. Since trading book constitutes capital market equities therefore, they are mainly exposed to equity price risk, Risk Pertaining to Banking Book All the investments excluding trading book are considered as part of banking book. Banking book includes: i) Available for sate securities ii) Held to maturity securities iii) Other strategic investments Treasury investments parked in the banking book include: i) Government securities ii) Capital market investments iii) Strategic investments iv) Investments in bonds, debentures, etc. Due to the diversified nature of investments in banking book, it is subject to interest rate and equity price risk. interest Rate Risk - Banking Book Government securities (PIB & T-Bills) and other money market investments are subject to interest rate risk, To capture the risk associated with these securities extensive modeling is being done with respect to duration analysis. Stress testing and scenario models are also in place to capture the sensitivity of the portfolio to adverse movement in interest rates. For prudent risk management all money market investments are marked to market to assess changes in the market value of investments due to interest rate movements, Equity Position Risk - Banking Book The bank's portfolio of equity securities categorized under 'Available for Sale' and 'Strategic Investments' are parked in the banking book, These investments expose the bank to equity price risk. Stress Testing The bank also conducts Stress Testing of the bank's investment portfolio to ascertain the impact of various adverse scenarios on the capital adequacy and sustainability of the bank. The exercise assumes various stress conditions, with respect to Market Risk (Rise or Fall in Interest Rates, leading to interest rate risk), Equity Price Risk resulting from Stock Market movements, FX Rate Risk leading from adverse movements in exchange rates and Liquidity Risk (ability to meet short-term obligations if there is a run on deposits). This is in line with the Central Bank's regulatory requirements. Duration GAP Analysis A Duration Gap Analysis is also conducted to ascertain the duration gap between the bank's assets and liabilities, to ascertain the effect of interest rate shifts on the market value of equity. Market Risk Capital Charge The bank uses standardized measurement method for calculation of market risk capital charge. The results are as under: ====================================================================================== Risk Weighted Exposures Capital Charge Rupees in '000 ====================================================================================== General market risk - Equity Exposures 237,113 18,969 Specific market risk - Equity Exposures 237,113 18,969 Foreign Exchange risk 296,009 23,681 Total 770,235 61,619 ======================================================================================43.2.1 Foreign Exchange Risk Foreign Exchange Risk is the risk of loss arising from fluctuations of exchange rates. Our FX Risk is first controlled through substantially matched funding policy. On the mismatched exposures, we utilize appropriate derivative instruments such as Forwards and Swaps. The majority of net foreign currency exposure is in US Dollars. The bank is carefully monitoring the net foreign currency exposure and the effect of exchange rate fluctuations by conducting sensitivity analysis and stress testing, as well as utilizing the currency forwards and swaps to hedge the related exposure. ============================================================================================ December 31, 2006 Net foreign ============================================================================================ Financial Financial Off-balance currency assets liabilities sheet Items exposure Rupees in '000 ============================================================================================ Pakistan Rupee 234,550,090 223,065,585 (3,716,525) 7,767,980 United States Dollar 3,555,379 5,598,173 2,271,948 229,154 Great Britain Pound 167,090 1,110,894 945,406 1,602 Japanese Yen 17,799 1,312 (16,778) (291) Euro 283,131 747,869 502,612 37,874 Other Currencies 64,853 50,520 13,337 27,670 4,088,252 7,508,768 3,716,525 296,009 ============================================================================================ 238,638,342 230,574,353 - 8,063,989 ============================================================================================43.2.2 Equity Position Risk The Board with the recommendations of ALCO approves exposure limits applicable to investments in Trading Book, Equity securities are perpetual assets and are classified under either Held for Trading Portfolio or Available for Sale Portfolio.

Other than customer's deposits the bank's funding source is the inter-bank money market, Change in the government monetary policy and market expectations of interest rate are all important factors that can adversely affect our key funding source. Efficient and accurate planning plays a critical role in liquidity management. Our MIS provides information on expected cash inflows/out flows which allow the bank to take timely decisions based on the future requirements. Comprehensive gap analysis, stress testing and scenario analysis is done on periodic basis to capture any adverse effect of market movements on liquidity position. Based on the results produced by analytical models, ALCO devise the liquidity management strategy to maintain sufficient liquidity to deal with any related catastrophe. 43.3.1 Maturities of Assets and Liabilities The table below summarizes the maturities of assets and liabilities in accordance with liquidity assumptions used by the bank to monitor liquidity risk.
