Alinma Partners: Growth and Confidence
The bank achieved rapid growth in 2015 as indicated by the following:
2015 also saw Alinma take other important steps towards developing leadership competencies among staff. In
specific, the bank provided for the coaching of 60 Alinma managers through a special international partnership
program in the United Kingdom run by specialists with more than 25 years of experience. The program focused on
key leadership skills such as listening, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication. It was the goal of the
program to improve staff effectiveness and connection. The program included both practical training as well as
assessments.
With regard to overall training efforts made by Alinma in 2015, the bank conducted 8,682 training days for a total of
1,803 participants. The training delivered was related to cognitive, behavioral, legal, administrative and information
systems competencies. Other courses were also provided on products and services offered by the bank.
Several services were also launched including the Top Up service (which gives partners the option to take out new
financing in addition to current financing) and the Additional Mortgage Financing program developed in
collaboration with the Real Estate Development Fund.
As part of its ongoing effort to ensure a safe and secure banking environment for it partners, Alinma launched a
verification service for smart devices that allows partners to execute banking transactions easily and conveniently at
any time and in any place around the world through the use of an activation code sent by SMS. This added layer of
authentication gives partners peace of mind.
2015 also saw Alinma implement its own credit-rating system in order to assess partner credit worthiness and risk. By
doing so, the bank has been able to assess financing requests quicker and more accurately. The system also brings
Alinma in line with best international practices with regard to credit risk and assessment.
The bank additionally introduced underwriting and trading services as an extension of existing IPO services, and
launched the Alinma Insurance Agency, a wholly owned subsidiary of the bank that provides both savings and
protection programs for partners.
Also in 2015, the bank established the Treasury Sales Desk, which focuses on expanding the overall partner base
with a commitment to offering better products & services that meet partner needs.
A number of training and marketing courses were held for Alinma partners during 2015 that covered the following
topics related to trade operations: documentary credits and guarantees, e-services, cash management, corporate
sector products, Shariah-compliance, and Alinma Tokio Marine insurance services.
Alinmas seminars and courses were held in the Central, Western and Eastern regions of the Kingdom and were well
attended by Alinma Bank partners.
22
Major accomplishments in 2015 were numerous. In the third quarter of the fiscal year, Alinma Investment Company
(AIC) launched the Alinma/Jeddah Economic City Real Estate Fund, an entity designed to manage SAR 8.4 billion in
assets. The fund was established to facilitate the development of Jeddah Economic City, which will include a 1,000+
meter tower and will cover an area of nearly 5.3 million square meters. The project is expected to be a major driver of
business, commerce and tourism in Jeddah.
AIC also successfully launched two other real estate funds with total assets of SAR 260 million. Additionally, the
company launched the Alinma IPO Fund, which aims to achieve capital growth over the long term by investing
primarily in IPOs of Saudi joint stock companies, rights issues and IPOs of other listed companies.
Lastly, AIC managed the Alinma Tokio Marine rights issue and provided underwriting and arrangement services to a
major construction company with a total value of SAR 1,400 million. The company also enhanced its brokerage and
trading products for local and GCC markets through the introduction of a Shariah-compliant portfolio financing
product (Margin Finance).
Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is a core feature at all levels of any healthy, cohesive society. Values, principles, customs and
traditions all drive a sense of broader communal responsibility, both at individual and organizational levels. Alinma
Bank is keenly aware of its responsibility towards Saudi society and works diligently on a number of fronts through
various projects and initiatives, to give back to the communities that have made it possible for Alinma achieve
success.
I am Alinma Bank...
Community service is my duty: Alinma employees are part of society and we give everything we can (expertise,
information and work) to serve it. We leave a good impression both inside and outside the bank.
Community aspirations are my objectives: The success of Alinma Bank hinges on employees delivering best-in-class
service and anticipating the needs, wants, goals and aspirations of bank partners. Towards this end, Alinma staff
focus on internalizing community aspirations and adopting those aspirations as their own so that in their delivery of
service, they will consistently meet and exceed expectations.
I am a representative of the bank: People look at me as a representative of the bank; so it is imperative for the me to
exercise and maintain good manners and behavior at all times.
Since its establishment, Alinma Bank has strived to play an active role in community service. Below is a summary of
some contributions made by the bank:
Education Financing
Alinma Bank was the pioneer in providing its partners with Education Financing, which allows them to pay
educational fees in installments without incurring administrative fees or profit margins. This was one of the first
services that distinguished Alinma in the market.
Training
Alinma Bank has collaborated with a number of Saudi universities to implement the specialized UP TRAINING-CO
program. To date, more than 430 students (194 males and 237 females) have availed themselves of this opportunity.

Alinma is also planning to launch additional funds through its investment arm (Alinma Investment Company). The Bank is also
considering the expansion in the SME Business in addition to the remittance business through ERSAL a joint venture with the
Saudi Post company.

Risk identification and Management:
During normal course of business, the Bank is exposed to various risks. Systems and procedures are in place in Alinma to identify,
control and report the major risks that could be encountered by the bank. The major risk types that might be encountered by the
bank are as follows:
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty may fail to meet its obligations to the Bank and, therefore, could result in a financial loss
for the Bank. The Bank actively manages its credit risk exposure through the establishment of Credit Risk Policies and procedures
which provide guidance, among others, on target market, risk acceptance criteria, minimum disclosure from customers, review
and approval process, concentration limits in addition to the day to day account management.
Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of the financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
market variables such as equity prices, profit rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. Liquidity risk can be caused by market disruptions or credit downgrades,
which may cause certain sources of funding to dry up immediately. To mitigate this risk, management has diversified funding
sources and assets are managed with liquidity into consideration, maintaining an adequate balance of cash and cash equivalents.
The Bank has a Market Risk Management team under the Risk Management Group that regularly monitors the liquidity risk of the
bank.
Exposure to above described risks is monitored by various committees of directors and other management committees. The
Board of Directors has also constituted a Risk Management Committee to assist the Board in overseeing the overall risk
management process and to discharge other related responsibilities. A detailed discussion on significant risks and mitigation
strategies is included in notes 24 to 29 of the audited consolidated financial statements for 2015.
Gratitude:
The Board of Directors is pleased to express its pride on the banks performance during the year 2015 in terms of expansion in
branches, ATMs, electronic channels and the banking products and services made available to its customers that in turn have
reflected in the improved operational results and the customer base.
The board also expresses its sincere gratitude and appreciation to the honorable shareholders, customers, and the governmental
and supervisory authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their support, trust and cooperation, which led to the aforesaid
achievements and that will surely play a vital role in further advancement and prosperity of the Bank. The Board would also like
to place on record the sincere appreciation for the loyalty and dedication of the Alinma group employees in accomplishment of
their tasks.
On this occasion, the Board of Directors and the banks employees would like to express their gratitude to the Custodian of the
Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to his Royal Highness the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of
Interior Prince Mohamed Bin Naif Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and to his Royal Highness the Second Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Defense Prince Mohamed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for the extensive efforts exerted by them for the country
and the citizens. May Allah bless them and guide them to lead the Kingdom in best manner and protect our precious country in all
aspects.
The scope of the Internal Audit department, independent from line management, includes the assessment of the adequacy and
the effectiveness of the internal control system across the Bank, as well as to assess compliance with prescribed policies and
procedures. All significant and material findings of Internal Audit assessments are reported to the Audit Committee. Banks
internal audit function forms an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the control processes and reports to the Audit
Committee and senior management at least once a year. The opinion is based on sufficient audit evidence obtained through
completion of audits and, where appropriate, reliance on the work of other assurance providers.
Concerted and integrated efforts are made by all functions of the Bank to improve the Control Environment at grass root level
through continuous reviewing and streamlining of procedures to prevent and rectify any control deficiencies. Each function, under
the supervision of the senior executive management, is entrusted with the responsibility to oversee rectification of control
deficiencies identified by internal and external auditors. The compliance function, through centrally automated applications, self-
assessment and compliance testing ensures adherence to regulatory requirements and the Banks internal policies and
procedures.
The Banks Internal controls system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Board, on the management of risks
to achieve the Banks strategic objectives. Internal controls systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, and
may not prevent or detect all control deficiencies. Moreover, the projection of current evaluations of the effectiveness to future
periods is subject to a limitation that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or compliance with policies
or procedures.
Management has adopted Internal Controls integrated framework as recommended by SAMA through its guidelines on internal
controls.
The Audit Committee also reviews the assessment report on the effectives of the internal control system, as prepared by the
Internal Audit Department of the Bank. The report on assessment of Internal controls does not contain material weaknesses in
the Banks internal control framework which has not been adequately addressed by the management.
Based on the results of the ongoing evaluation of internal controls carried out by Management during the year, the Management
considers that the Banks existing internal control system is adequately designed, operating effectively, and monitored
consistently. Nevertheless, the management continuously endeavors to enhance and further strengthen the internal control
system of the bank. Based on the above, the Board of Directors has duly endorsed Managements evaluation of the internal
control system, as prescribed by SAMA.

1. General
a) Incorporation
Alinma Bank, a Saudi Joint Stock Company, was formed and licensed pursuant to Royal Decree No. M/15 dated 28 Safar 1427H
(corresponding to March 28, 2006), in accordance with the Council of Ministers Resolution No. 42 dated 27 Safar 1427H
(corresponding to March 27, 2006). It operates under Ministerial Resolution No.173 and Commercial Registration No.1010250808
both dated 21/05/1429H (corresponding to May 26, 2008) and provides banking services through 69 branches (2014: 58) in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The address of the Banks head office is as follows:
Alinma Bank
Head Office
King Fahad Road
P.O. Box 66674
Riyadh 11586
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Alinma Bank and its following subsidiaries (the Bank):
The Bank provides a full range of banking and investment services through products and instruments that are in accordance with
Shariah, its Articles of Association and within the provisions of laws and regulations applicable to banks in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia.
b) Shariah Board
The Bank has established a Shariah Board in accordance with its commitment to comply with Islamic Shariah Laws. Shariah Board
ascertains that all the Banks activities are subject to its review and approval.
2. Basis of preparation
a) Statement of compliance
i) in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Financial Institutions promulgated by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency
(SAMA) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); and
ii) in compliance with the provisions of the Banking Control Law, the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
and the Articles of Association of the Bank.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the measurement at fair value
of the financial instruments held at fair value through statement of income (FVSI), available for sale (AFS) investments and
employees share based plans.
48
c) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SAR) which is the Banks functional currency.
Except where indicated, financial information presented in SAR has been rounded off to the nearest thousands.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. It also requires management to
exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Banks accounting policies. Such judgments, estimates and assumptions are
continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including obtaining professional advices and
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant areas where management
has used estimates, assumptions or exercised judgments are valuation of investments (note 3f), impairment of financial assets
(3h), actuarial valuation (3s) and assessment of control over investees (3v).
e) Going concern
The Banks management has made an assessment of the Banks ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the
Bank has the intention and resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the management is not
aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Banks ability to continue as a going concern.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2014, except for the adoption of the following relevant new standards and amendments to the existing
standards that are applicable to the Bank during 2015:
These adoptions have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements other than certain additional disclosures.
The Bank has chosen not to early adopt the amendments and revisions to the International Financial Reporting Standards which
have been published and are mandatory for compliance by the banks for the accounting years beginning on or after January 1,
2016 (note 36).
a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Alinma Bank and its subsidiaries. The financial
statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as that of Alinma Bank, using consistent accounting
policies.
Subsidiaries are the entities that are controlled by Alinma Bank. Alinma Bank controls an entity when, it has power over the
investee entity, it is exposed, or has a right, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over that entity.
When the Bank has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee entity, it considers
Relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over the entity, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other voters of the investee entity
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
- Banks current and potential voting rights granted by equity instruments such as shares
The Bank re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to
one or more elements of control.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank and cease to be consolidated from the
date on which the control is transferred from the Bank. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period, if
any, are included in the consolidated statement of income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of
disposal, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using uniform accounting policies and valuation methods for like
transactions and other events in similar circumstances. The accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries are consistent with
that of Banks accounting policies. Adjustments, if any, are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries to align with the
Banks financial statements.
Since the subsidiaries are fully owned by the Bank, there is no non-controlling interest to be disclosed. The functional currency of
all subsidiaries is Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR).
Inter-group balances and any income and expenses arising from inter-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing these
consolidated financial statements.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are initially recognized and derecognized on the trade date (i.e. the date on
which the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument). Regular way purchases or sales of financial
assets require delivery of those assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market
place.
All other financial assets and liabilities are also initially recognized on the trade date at which the Bank becomes a party to the
contractual provision of the instrument.
c) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Saudi Arabian Riyals at the spot exchange rates prevailing at transaction
dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at year-end, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into Saudi Arabian Riyals at
the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on exchange are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income.
d) Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported net in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a
currently legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and when the Bank intends to settle on a net basis, or to
realize the asset and to settle the liability simultaneously.
Income and expenses are not offset in the consolidated statement of income unless required by any accounting standard.
51
e) Revenue/expenses recognition
Revenue and expenses related to profit bearing financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income on
the effective yield basis. The effective yield is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the
expected life of the financial asset or liability (or where appropriate, a short period) to its carrying amount. When calculating the
effective yield the Bank estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms including all fees, transaction costs,
discounts that are an integral part of the effective yield but does not include the future financing losses. Transaction costs are
incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of financial asset or liability.
The carrying amount of the financial asset or liability is adjusted if the Bank revises its estimates of payments or receipts. The
change in carrying amount is recorded as income/expense.
Exchange income/loss
Fees from banking services that are not an integral part of the effective yield calculation on the financial assets are recognized
when the related service is provided. Management, Administration, Advisory and Arrangement fees are recognized based on the
applicable service contracts as and when services are rendered.
Fees and commission expense relate mainly to transaction and service fees, and are expensed as the transaction is completed or
the services are received.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive income is established. Dividends from FVSI investments are reflected as a
component of income from FVSI financial instruments, net.
Net income /(loss) from FVSI financial instruments relates to financial assets designated as FVSI and include all realized and
unrealized fair value changes, profit, dividends and foreign exchange differences.
f) Investments
All investment securities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently accounted for depending on their classification
as either held as FVSI, available for sale or other investments held at amortized cost. Except for investments held as FVSI,
incremental direct transaction cost is also added to the fair value of investment upon initial recognition. Premiums are amortized
and discounts accreted using the effective yield basis and charged to consolidated statement of income.
For securities traded in organized financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to exchange quoted market bid prices at
the close of business on the reporting date. Fair value of managed assets and investments in mutual funds are determined by
reference to declared net asset values.
For securities where there is no quoted market price, a reasonable estimate of the fair value is determined by reference to the
current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same, or is based on the expected cash flows of the
security. Where the fair values cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation
techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets where
possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.
Following initial recognition, subsequent transfers between the various classes of investments are permissible only if certain
conditions are met. The subsequent period-end reporting values for each class of investment are determined on the basis as set
out in the following paragraphs.
Held as FVSI
Investments in this category are classified as either investment held for trading or those designated as FVSI on initial recognition.
Investments classified as trading are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in short term.
These are investments neither classified as held to maturity nor designated as FVSI and are intended to be held for an unspecified
period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity, changes in profit rates or changes in equity prices. Available
for sale investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealized gain or loss arising from a change in its fair value is
recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). On de-recognition, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is
charged to income in the consolidated statement of income.
These are commodity Murabahas held at amortized cost. These are initially recognized at cost, including associated acquisition
charges representing the fair value of amounts paid. Subsequently, these are measured at amortized cost net of impairment, if
any.
Held to Maturity
Investments having fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity and the Bank has the positive intention and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. Held to maturity investments are initially recognised at fair value including
direct and incremental transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less provision for impairment in value.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition using an effective yield basis.
An associate is an entity where the Bank has significant influence (but not control) over its financial and operating policies and
which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method whereby
investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Banks share of net assets
in the associate, less impairment in the value of investments if any.
The Banks share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and its
share of movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in reserves.
When the Banks share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured
receivables (if applicable), the Bank does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the associate.
A Joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Bank has a joint control and therefore, rights to the net assets of the entity.
Investment in joint ventures is accounted for under equity method.
g) Financing
Financing assets are originated or acquired by the Bank with fixed or determinable payments. These are recognized upon actual
disbursements. Financing assets are derecognized upon repayment, or when sold or written off, or upon transfer of substantially
all risk and rewards of ownership.
All financing are initially measured at fair value including any incremental associated acquisition charges. Subsequently these are
measured at amortized cost less impairment (if any).
Financing primarily includes Murabaha, Ijarah, Musharaka and Bei Ajel products. A brief description of these products is as
follows:
Murabaha: is an agreement whereby the Bank sells to a customer certain commodity or an asset, which the Bank has initially
purchased on behalf of the customer. The selling price comprises of cost plus an agreed profit margin.
Ijarah: is an agreement whereby the Bank, acting as a lessor, purchases or constructs an asset according to the customer (lessee)
request, based on his promise to lease the asset for an agreed rent over a specific period. Ijarah could conclude either by
transferring the ownership of the leased asset to the lessee at an agreed amount or by termination of lease and re-possession of
underlying asset.
Musharaka: is an agreement between the Bank and the customer to contribute to a certain investment enterprise or property and
concludes by transferring the full ownership of the underlying investment to the customer. The profit or loss is shared as per the
terms of the agreement.
Bei Ajel: is an agreement whereby the Bank sells to a customer certain commodity or an asset on a negotiated price.
52
h) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset or group of financial assets is classified as impaired when there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result
of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset or group of financial assets and that
event(s) (loss event) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can
be reliably estimated. An assessment for impairment is made on regular basis.
A specific provision for losses due to impairment of a financing or any other financial asset held at amortized cost is recognized if
there is objective evidence that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts as they fall due. The amount of the specific
provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated recoverable amount. The estimated recoverable
amount is the present value of expected future cash flows, including amounts estimated to be recoverable from guarantees and
collateral, discounted based on the original effective yield rate.
In addition to a specific provision for losses, an additional portfolio provision for collective impairment is made on a portfolio basis
for losses where there is objective evidence that unidentified losses exist at the reporting date. The provision is estimated based
on various factors including obligors credit rating, probability of default, structural weaknesses and /or deterioration in cash
flows.
When a financial asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for impairment or directly by a charge to
income in the consolidated statement of income. Financial assets are written off only in circumstances where effectively all
possible means of recovery have been exhausted, and the amount of the loss has been determined.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the obligors credit rating), the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in the consolidated
statement of income, under charge for impairment of financing.
For equity investments held as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value below its cost represents
objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recorded in consolidated statement of income.
The impairment loss cannot be reversed through consolidated statement of income under charge for impairment of other
financial assets as long as the asset continues to be recognized i.e. any increase in fair value after impairment has been recorded
can only be recognized in equity. On de-recognition, any gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to consolidated
statement of income for the year.
For sukuks and like instruments having fixed or determinable maturities, the Bank assesses individually whether there is objective
evidence of impairment based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded
for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any
impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of these instruments increases and the increase can be objectively related to credit event
occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed
through the consolidated statement of income.
Property and equipment are measured at cost and presented net of accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment
loss, if any. Land is not depreciated. The cost of other property and equipment is depreciated and amortized on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings 33 years
Furniture, equipment 5-10 years
Leasehold improvements the shorter of lease period or 10 years
The assets residual values, depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting
date. Depreciation is charged from the month of addition and up till the month preceding disposal.
All assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The Bank, in the ordinary course of business, acquires certain real estate properties in settlement of due financing. Such
properties are considered as assets held for sale and are initially stated at the lower of net realizable value of due financing and
the current fair value of the related properties, less any costs to sell. No depreciation is charged on such properties.
Subsequent to initial recognition, any write down to fair value, less costs to sell, is charged to the consolidated statement of
income. Any subsequent revaluation gain in the fair value less costs to sell of these assets to the extent this does not exceed the
cumulative write down is recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Gains or losses on disposal are recognised in the
consolidated statement of income.
k) Financial Liabilities
All customer deposits and amounts due to banks and other financial institutions are initially recognized at fair value.
Subsequently, all profit-bearing financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into
account any discount or premium. Premiums are amortized and discounts accreted on an effective yield basis to maturity and
charged to consolidated statement of income.
l) Financial guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank issues financial guarantees, consisting of letter of credit, guarantees, standby letter of
credits and acceptances. Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value being
the value of the premium received. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the Bank's liability under each guarantee is measured at
the higher of the amortized premium and the best estimate of expenditure required settling any financial obligations arising as a
result of guarantees. Any increase in the liability relating to the financial guarantee is recognized as charge for impairment of
other financial assets, in the consolidated statement of income.
The premium received is recognised in the consolidated statement of income under "Fees from banking services, net" on a
straight line basis over the life of the guarantee.
m) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when a reliable estimate can be made by the Bank for a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events and it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to
settle the obligation.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any additional payment required to be made is
recognized as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as amounts included in
cash, balances with SAMA excluding statutory deposits, and due from banks and other financial institutions with an original
maturity of ninety days or less from the date of acquisition.
54
p) De-recognition of financial instruments
A financial asset (or a part of a financial asset, or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized, when contractual
rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the asset is transferred and the transfer qualifies for de-
recognition.
In instances where the Bank is assessed to have transferred a financial asset, the asset is derecognized if the Bank has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Where the Bank has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership, the financial asset is derecognized only if the Bank has not retained control of the financial asset.
The Bank recognizes separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the process to the extent of
its continuing involvement.
A financial liability (or part of a financial liability) can only be derecognized when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related services are provided. A
liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or share based plans if the Bank has a
present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided to the Bank and the obligation can
be estimated reliably.
The Bank offers its eligible employees two types of plans (the Plans). Brief description of the Plans as approved by SAMA is as
follows:
Under the terms of ESPS, the eligible employees are offered shares at a pre-determined strike price on the grant date. Deductions
are made on a monthly basis from the employee salary over the vesting period of three years. On the completion of the vesting
period, should the employees decide not to exercise their options, they will be entitled to receive their contribution along with
any profit earned thereon.
Under the terms of ESGS, eligible employees are granted shares with a vesting period of 3-5 years. At the maturity of the vesting
period, the Bank delivers the underlying allotted shares to the employee.
The cost of shares in the schemes is measured by reference to the fair value at the grant date. The management is of the view
that the fair value at grant date approximates its market value.
The cost of the schemes is recognized over the period during which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the shares (the vesting date). The cumulative expense recognized for the
schemes at each reporting date until the vesting date, reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Banks
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the consolidated statement of
income for a reporting period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that
period.
Benefits payable to the employees of the Bank at the end of their services are accrued based on actuarial valuation in accordance
with Saudi Arabian Labor laws. These are included in other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
t) Zakat
Zakat is calculated in accordance with the Zakat rules and regulations applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is considered
as a liability of the shareholders to be deducted from retained earnings/future dividends and hence not charged to the
consolidated statement of income. Zakat is recorded as and when paid.
u) Treasury Shares
These are recorded at cost and presented as a deduction from the equity as adjusted for any transaction cost, dividends and gains
or losses on sale of such shares. Subsequent to their acquisition, these are carried at the amount equal to consideration paid.
The Bank provides investment management services to its customers, through its subsidiary which includes management of
certain mutual funds. Determining whether the Bank controls such a mutual fund usually depends on the assessment of the
aggregate economic interests of the Bank in the fund (comprising its investments, any carried profit and expected management
fees) and the investors rights to remove the Fund Manager.
As a result of the above assessment, the Bank has concluded that it acts as an agent for the investors in all cases, and therefore
has not consolidated these funds. Fee earned are disclosed in consolidated statement of income. The Banks share of investments
is included under available for sale investments in the consolidated statement of financial position.
In accordance with the Banking Control Law and regulations issued by SAMA, the Bank is required to maintain a statutory
deposits with SAMA at stipulated percentages of its customers deposits as calculated at the end of each month. The statutory
deposit is not available to finance the Banks day to day operations and therefore does not form part of cash and cash
equivalents.

a) Legal proceedings
As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no significant legal proceedings outstanding against the Bank.
As at December 31, 2015, the Bank had capital commitments of SAR 110.3 million (2014: SAR 88.6 million) relating to property and
equipment.
Credit related commitments and contingencies comprise letters of guarantee, letters of credit, acceptances and unused
irrevocable commitments to extend financing facilities. The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are
available to customers as required. Letters of guarantee and standby letters of credit, which represent irrevocable assurances that
the Bank will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties, carry the same credit risk
as investments and financing. Cash requirements under guarantees and standby letters of credit are considerably less than the
amount of the commitment because the Bank does not generally expect the third party to invoke such commitments.
Documentary letters of credit are generally collaterized by the underlying assets to which they relate, and therefore have
significantly lower risk.
Acceptances comprise undertakings by the Bank to pay bills of exchange drawn on customers. The Bank expects most
acceptances to be presented before being reimbursed by the customers.
Commitments to extend credit represent the unused portion of approved credit, principally in the form of financing, guarantees
and letters of credit. With respect to these commitments, the Bank is exposed to an insignificant potential credit risk as most
commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The total outstanding
commitments to extend credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, as many of these commitments could
expire or terminate without being funded.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market
variables such as equity prices, profit rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. The Bank classifies exposures to
market risks into either trading or non-trading (or banking book).
The Bank holds an insignificant market risk on its trading book position of equities in local currency which is regularly marked to
market and losses or gains on equity prices are taken directly into consolidated statement of income.
Market risks on non-trading book mainly arise from profit rate movements and to a minor extent from currency fluctuations. The
Bank also faces price risks on securities held as available for sale.
It arises from changes in profit rates which will affect either the fair values or the future cash flows of the financial instruments.
The Board has established profit rate gap limits which are regularly monitored by (ALCO). Treasury imputes the funding costs
based on the yield curve and the margins are also adjusted to account for liquidity premium based on the duration of the
financing.
Following table depicts the sensitivity on the Banks consolidated statement of income or equity due to reasonably possible
changes in profit rates, with other variables held constant. The sensitivity is the effect of the assumed changes in profit rates on
the net income or equity, based on profit bearing non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities as of the reporting date
after taking in to account their respective maturities and re-pricing structure. Due to insignificant foreign currency exposures of
profit bearing financial assets and liabilities in banking book, all the banking book exposures are monitored only in reporting
currency.

The Bank manages exposure to the effects of various risks associated with fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market profit
rates on its financial position and cash flows. The Bank uses the SAIBOR for SAR and the LIBOR for USD lending as a benchmark
rate for different maturities. At times when these benchmark rates are not representative of the actual transactions in the
market, marginal cost of fund is provided by Treasury. The Bank charges profit rates based on the maturity of loans (longer term
loans usually require a higher profit rate) based on marginal costs of funds.
The table below summarizes the Banks exposure to profit rate risks. Included in the table are the Banks financial instruments at
carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates.

Framework and policies contain limits for positions by currencies. However, the Bank has negligible exposure in foreign exchange
because its assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in Saudi Riyals and to a smaller extent in United States Dollars (USD) or
in USD pegged currencies.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. Liquidity risk can be caused by market disruptions or credit downgrades,
which may cause certain sources of funding to dry up immediately. To mitigate this risk, management has diversified funding
sources and assets are managed taking liquidity into consideration, maintaining an adequate balance of cash and cash
equivalents. The Bank has a Market Risk Management team under the Risk Management Group that regularly monitors the
liquidity risk of the Bank.
In accordance with Banking Control Law and the regulations issued by SAMA, the Bank maintains a statutory deposit with SAMA
equal to 7% of total demand deposits and 4% of customers time investments.
In addition to the statutory deposit, the Bank also maintains liquid reserves of no less than 20% of its deposit liabilities, in the
form of cash and assets, which can be converted into cash within a period not exceeding 30 days.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Bank's financial liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 based on
contractual undiscounted repayment obligations whereas the Bank manages the inherent liquidity risk based on expected
undiscounted cash inflows.

Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored by the Banks management. SAMA requires to hold and
maintain ratio of total regulatory capital to the risk-weighted assets at or above the Basel prescribed minimum of 8%.
The Bank monitors the adequacy of its capital using ratios established by SAMA. These ratios measure capital adequacy by
comparing the Banks eligible capital with its statement of financial position assets and commitments at a weighted amount to
reflect their relative risk.
SAMA has issued the framework and guidance for implementation of capital reforms under Basel III, which are effective from
January 01, 2013. Accordingly, the risk weighted assets, total capital and related ratios are calculated using Basel III framework.

The risk management approach of the Bank has three lines of defense namely risk taking units, risk control units and
internal audit;
The risk taking units are responsible for the day-to-day management of risks whereas the risk control units are responsible
for setting-up the tools and methodologies for the risk identification, measurement, monitoring, control and testing.
Complementing this is internal audit which provides independent assurance of the effectiveness of the risk management
approach;
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO), Chief Credit Officer (CCO), and the Credit Risk Managers (CRM) independently review and
approve through the Credit Committee all major credit proposals as per the recommendation of the relevant business units.
Risk Management Group (RMG) oversees the overall risk profile consistent with the Banks policies/procedure & risk appetite
thresholds;
Risk management is functionally and organizationally independent to business;
The Board of Directors (BoD) is overall responsible for the risk management practice of the Bank.
84
9. Risk Appetite Policy
The Risk Appetite Policy covers the Banks risk taking-capacity, its desired financial position, the strength of its core earnings and
the protection of its reputation and brand. The risk appetite is set and approved at the Boards Risk Committee, tracked and
monitored at the business units and reported to the management, through the CRO regularly.
The Bank computes the minimum capital requirements for market risk using the Standardized Approach. Similarly, capital charge
is also calculated for Equity price risk (trading book), foreign currency risk.
The Bank has an independent Operational Risk Team under Risk Management Group monitoring and controlling the Operational
Risks of the Bank. Functions of this unit are guided by the Operational Risk Policy and Framework. In addition, the Bank has
implemented Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery program.
During the year, the operational risk management team has conducted specialized data gathering through meetings with
business heads and senior management endeavoring to gain a clear understanding of business directions by cascading the
relevant business unit strategic objectives. The approach is designed to associate the management directions, with the allocated
operational risk appetite, and the risk profile.
In preparation for and before commencing the risk identification and assessment activity across the Bank, a comprehensive risk
awareness program was developed and implemented involving management, risk champions and respective risk owners.
Covering all business and support units within the Bank specific risk profiles containing key and significant risks presented at their
residual values was arrived at after detailed assessment and testing of the respective controls. A detailed risk heat-map is formed
in consultation with business group management to draw their attention to significant and key risks that requires management
attention and action on a priority basis.

86

Awareness and Communication;
Identification and assessment;
Mitigation and control; and
Monitoring and reporting.
The Bank is using a Scorecard based methodology to assess Shariah Governance standards vis-a-vis best industry practice.
The recent global financial crisis has resulted in a significant change in the regulation and supervision of liquidity risk in financial
institutions. Arising from the Basel III liquidity risk management requirements, two ratios are used to manage liquidity risks:
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).
All liquidity policies and procedures are covered by the Treasury Risk Policy which is subject to review and approval by the
Executive Committee of the Board (EXCOM).

equal to 7% of total demand deposits and 4% of customers time investments.

form of cash and assets, which can be converted into cash within a period not exceeding 30 days.
The Bank has the ability to raise overnight funds through special investment arrangement facilities with SAMA (i.e. Murabaha
with SAMA).
The Bank estimates the Liquidity Risk based on the results of LCR and NSFR and the standard SAMA Liquidity Ratio.
The Bank is using Economic Value of Equity (EVE) methodology to assess the Profit-Rate-Risk in the Banking Book (PRRBB),
whereby an aggressive 2% increase/decrease of Profit Rate Risk is applied across the profit risk yield curve to measure the impact
on the Banks equity position resulting from changes of the values of all profit rate sensitive assets and liabilities.
The Bank is using a scorecard methodology to assess the Strategic and Reputational risk vis--vis various relevant factors.
