In the Name of God Most Gracious Most Merciful
O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are
indeed believers.
If ye do it not, Take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger. But if ye turn back, ye shall
have your capital sums: Deal not unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly.

Board of Directors Report
Islamic Banking Globally
Islamic banking is considered an important component of the global banking system. Its
total assets are approximately 2 trillion dollars through over 400 banking institutions spread
out in 75 countries around the world. The Islamic banking institution is characterized by the
economic and social message of working under the Islamic provisions. It is an institution with
a message and not a mere merchant. The Islamic bank seeks the most useful projects rather
than the most profitable ones. The Islamic bank does not aim to merely implement the Islamic
banking system but rather to contribute to building a full Islamic society on ideological, moral,
and economic principles.
After four decades of implementation, Islamic banking still has a long way to progress, which
requires additional development of banking mechanisms to ensure the ideal model of Islamic
banking that succeeds in offering Islamic products in an outstanding manner. This is still under
continuous development, in order to reach the appropriate model for the Islamic bank.
Islamic Banking in Palestine
Palestine has 17 banks, seven of which are Palestinian, and 10 are foreign. The Palestinian
banks include two Islamic banks, the Arab Islamic Bank and the Palestine Islamic Bank. The
share of Islamic banks is estimated at approximately 8% of the net assets of the Palestinian
banking sector, and approximately 9% of the total direct financing and client deposits. It is
noteworthy that the global share of Islamic banking has exceeded 25%, which means there is
a real opportunity for the Islamic banking industry in Palestine to maximize its market share.
Annual Report 2013

This constitutes a motive for the Arab Islamic Bank to achieve its strategic goals that aim to
double the size of the bank in terms of client deposits and direct financing and maximizing its
profit, thus maximizing investor returns through implementing the five-year strategic action
plan which has been in progress for two years.
Bank Performance
The table below presents the performance of the Arab Islamic Bank over five years. It shows
that the Bank’s size grew significantly on all its main indicators. Its assets rose to about 176
million dollars (59%), direct financing rose by about 99 million dollars (107%), and client
deposits increased by about 123 million dollars (49%). It also achieved a net profit of 3.5
million dollars during 2013. The strategic action plan that has gone into implementation in
early 2012, which assumed the need to double the Bank’s size between 2012 and 2016, has
achieved its goals to date. The growth in the last five years was concentrated in 2012 and 2013

Policy of Employment, Training and Incentives at the Bank:
The Bank follows a systematic policy of employment. The best capacities with the
required specifications and qualifications are recruited. Interviews are conducted with
the applicants through a specialized employee selection committee at the bank. The
candidate is chosen on the basis of specific criteria followed by the committee. The
selection of an employee goes through several phases that depend on the type and
nature of the vacancy.
As for training, an annual training plan is adopted by the senior management at the
Bank, aimed at assisting in the achievement of the Bank’s strategic plan goals. This
plan takes into account the employees’ training needs, in addition to developing and
improving their skills and expertise. The role of the Bank’s Training Department is
mainly to look for the best training opportunities that contribute to enhancing and
building the banking qualifications and expertise among the employees.
As for incentives, an employee evaluation system is currently under development and
is based on several professional aspects. It also includes a system of financial and nonfinancial rewards that depend on the contribution of employees in the recruitment of
new clients and new deposits and financing. This will be applied in the coming year, so
that it is based on the achievement of annual goals for individuals, departments and
branches. It is also reliant on employee performance indicators and their contribution
to the achievement of the Bank’s strategic goals.

Annual Report 2013
Commitment to Implementing Company Governance Rules
The Bank affirms its commitment to all policies, provisions, and rules of the company governance code
in Palestine, to ensure fairness, integrity, transparency, and disclosure of financial and non-financial
matters, thus making the relationship between the three parties, composed of shareholders, Board
of Directors, and the executive administration, one that is characterized by transparency and that
guarantees the fulfillment of all interests on an equitable basis. This enables the shareholders to
assess the Bank’s situation and level of performance, in addition to taking into account accountability
in the relationships between the executive administration and the Board of Directors, between the
Board of Directors and the shareholders, and between the Board of Directors and other stakeholders,
while taking into account the separation of responsibilities and authorities of all employees at the
Bank, based on the following principles:
1. General Assembly Meetings
The ordinary and extraordinary general assembly meetings are held at the invitation of the Board of
Directors, sent to shareholders at least 14 days prior to the date of convening the session. These are
also announced in local newspapers at least two weeks before the meeting. At the General Assembly
Meeting, shareholders are presented with the external auditor’s report, and the report of the Sharia
Fatwa and Monitoring Committee. All questions are also answered. During the meetings, the agenda
items are discussed and the opportunity is also presented to include any other items at the request
of the shareholders.
2. Equal Rights of Shareholders
The Board of Directors of the Arab Islamic Bank ensures that each Bank shareholder enjoys all
rights merited according to the valid laws, regulations, and instructions. These include the right to
property records, the right to receive invitations to attend general assembly meetings, the right to
fair treatment of all shareholders and their enjoyment of the same rights, whether in the distribution
of cash or stock dividends, the right to transfer or mortgage shares, the right to vote and elect, and
the priority right in new public offerings.
3. Company Management
The current Board of Directors of the Arab Islamic Bank consists of nine members. Membership of
Board stipulates that the elected member must own no less than 7,000 shares. Members of the Board
should also have financial and economic experience. The Board meets regularly and whenever needed
at a rate of no less than six meetings annually. The Ordinary General Assembly Meeting is held once a
year while an Extraordinary General Assembly Meeting is held whenever necessary. The Bank’s Board
of Directors forms from among its members several standing committees, including the Executive
Annual Report 2013
27
Committee, the Review and Audit Committee, Risk, Governance and Compliance Committee, and the
Investment and Money Market Committee.
As for the executive administration, the Bank’s General Manager has qualifications, integrity,
and significant banking and economic expertise. Moreover, prominent officials with the required
qualifications and expertise were appointed to the executive administration. The General Manager
drafts and follows-up on the implementation of the Bank’s strategic plans approved by the Board
of Directors. There is also a segregation of duties between the Board of Directors and the executive
administration with regard to the Bank’s daily operations.
4. Auditing
Two separate auditing efforts are conducted at the Arab Islamic Bank: a licensed external auditing
firm with the necessary experience and expertise work neutrally and independently from the Bank,
the Board, and the executive administration; additionally, an Internal Auditing Department reports
to the Review and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which conducts testing for the
implementation of the internal monitoring system and drafts all reports related to internal auditing
work to submit to the said committee, which in turn sends these reports to the Board of Directors
after attaching its special recommendations.
5. Disclosure and Transparency:
The Arab Islamic Bank is committed to the disclosure requirements stipulated by the current laws,
regulations, and instructions, including daily disclosure related to essential matters and periodic
disclosure related to financial data, as well as what must be contained in the annual report, to
ensure that the necessary information reaches the decision makers and external stakeholders, such as
shareholders, investors, and clients. Disclosure takes place through several media outlets, including
the Bank’s website, local newspapers, the Palestine Exchange website, and other means to ensure
that the necessary information reaches stakeholders at the appropriate time.
6. Other Stakeholders:
The Arab Islamic Bank maintains relations with all of the Bank’s stakeholders, including shareholders,
employees, clients and all those who have a relationship with the Bank. It deals with all of them
on the basis of the laws, regulations, and instructions that guarantee the rights of each of them. It
operates according to its bylaws and the Bank’s financial and administrative system, in addition to
following the guidelines of the valid relevant laws such as the Labor Law, the Companies’ Law, and
contracts signed between the Bank and each of the stakeholders.

Annual Report 2013
Efficiency of the Internal Control and Monitoring Systems
The executive administration follows a frame of work to assess the efficiency of internal
control and monitoring through three independent departments directly under the
supervision of the Review and Audit Committee and the Governance and Compliance
Committee of the Board of Directors according to the instructions of the Palestine Monetary
Authority and the other monitoring bodies. These departments implement and assess
internal control and monitoring systems for various operations at the Bank, including the
Risk Department, the Internal Audit Department, and the Compliance Unit. The first sets the
monitoring procedures to control the anticipated risks arising from various banking and nonbanking aspects at the Bank, which include credit, market, operation, and other risks. The
Internal Audit Department examines the commitment of Bank departments and branches
to implementing control and monitoring systems and gives recommendations to address
any gaps through periodic inspection operations. The Compliance Unit monitors the Bank’s
implementation of the Palestine Monetary Authority instructions as well as the external
monitoring bodies mandated with the Bank’s compliance to the rules of governance and
transparency. It must be noted here that reports by these departments are directly submitted
to the committees of the Board of Directors, each according to their specialization, which in
turn submit them to the Board of Directors.
The external auditor examines the efficiency of internal control and monitoring systems
periodically through periodic visits to the Bank’s departments and branches, and submitting
reports and recommendations. Drafts of the annual report are also prepared in parallel
to the financial statements, through which internal control and monitoring systems are
assessed. This is submitted to the Review and Audit Committee, which in turn submits it
to the Board of Directors along with its recommendations, with a copy sent to the Bank’s
executive administration.
It must be noted here that the Arab Islamic Bank always seeks to avoid any gaps and
weaknesses in internal control and monitoring systems through periodic monitoring and
evaluation of these systems, amending and developing them to guarantee that they stay
on the right track, dealing promptly with the changes and developments in various fields
relevant to the sound Islamic banking industry.
Future Plan:
1. Maximize the Bank’s market share through opening new branches and installing ATM machines.
2. Develop the quality of services offered to clients with regard to savings, financing, and investment.
3. Enhance risk monitoring to balance expansion and growth with monitoring quality and
reducing risks.
4. Enhancing the human capital and its efficiency and continuing with the comprehensive
training plan for the Bank’s staff.
5. Enhance the Bank’s revenue power in a manner that leads to elevating returns on equity
rights, and maximizing profit indicators to become feasible and competitive compared
with other banks in the Palestinian banking system.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Shareholders of Arab Islamic Bank P.L.C.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Arab Islamic Bank P.L.C
(the Bank), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31,
2013, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity, statement of cash flows, statement of changes in restricted
investment accounts and statement of earnings and disbursements prohibited by
Shari’a for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of
these financial statements in accordance with the Islamic Shari’a Rules and
Principles as determined by the Shari’a Supervisory Board of the Bank, and in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Accounting and
Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards for Islamic
Financial Institutions issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for
Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). Those standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessment, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion

December 31, 2013
1.

banking services, financing, trading and investing activities in accordance with
Islamic Shari’a principles through its headquarters in Al-Bireh, (9) branches and

The Bank’s paid-in share capital is U.S. $ 48,719,588 with par value of U.S. $
1 each as of December 31, 2013.
The total number of the Bank’s staff is (264) and (254) as at December 31, 2013
and 2012, respectively.
The financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Bank’s Board of
Directors during their meeting number (2/2014) held on February 25, 2014.
2.1 Basis of preparation

Annual Report 2013
2.2 Changes in accounting polices
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial
year, except for the several new and amended standards. The following standards
have no material effect on the financial position or performance of the Bank:
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income – (Amendment)
The amendments to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of items presented in other
comprehensive income (OCI). Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to
profit or loss at a future point in time shall have to be presented separately from
items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation only and
has no impact on the Bank’s financial position or performance.
IAS 1 Clarification of the requirement for comparative information (Amendment)
The amendment to IAS 1 clarifies the difference between voluntarily additional
comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. An
entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial
statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the
minimum required comparative period. The additional voluntarily comparative
information does not need to be presented in a complete set of financial
statements.
FAS 26 Investments properties
Initial recognition of real estate investments should be at cost at the time they are
acquired. These costs include initial costs to acquire the investment plus any
additional direct costs. For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the entity
shall determine whether the real estate investment is being held-for-use or heldfor-sale.
Held-for Use: Either fair value model or the cost model is applied
1. Cost Model: Investments in real estate should be recorded at cost less
depreciation and any impairment provisions.
2. Fair value model: If the entity elects to use the fair value model, all real
estate investment shall be recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains are
recorded in fair value reserve and any unrealized losses are adjusted to the
extent of available credit balance in the reserve. If unrealized losses
exceeded the available balance, the unrealized losses should be recognized
in the income statement.
Held-for-sale: Real estate investment shall be carried at the lower of its carrying
value and expected fair value less costs to sell (net realizable value). Depreciation
on such assets should be discontinued from date of reclassification to Held-forsale. Any adjustments to fair value shall be recorded in the income statement.
IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair
value is required or permitted. The Bank is currently assessing the impact that this
standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard has no
impact on the Bank’s financial position or performance.
The following standards and interpretation have been issued but are not yet
mandatory, and have not been adopted by the Bank. These standards and
interpretation are those that the Bank reasonably expects to have no impact on
disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date:
9
Annual Report 2013
Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27)
These amendments will become effective for annual periods beginning January 1,
2014.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32
This standard will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2014.
IFRIC Interpretation - 21 Levies

January 1, 2014.
2.3 Segments Information

that are exposed to risks and returns different from those of other business
segments.
A geographic segment relates to goods or services within a specific economic
environment that are exposed to risks and returns different from those of other

2.4
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenues and expenses recognition
Revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting,
except for profits from non-performing Islamic financing which are recognized as
suspended profits and not recorded as revenues. commission revenues are
recognized when services are rendered.
Date of financial assets recognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, (which is
the date on which the Bank commits to purchasing or selling the financial asset).
Financial assets at fair value through equity are measured at fair value plus cost of
acquisition.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which the
date on which the Bank commits to purchasing or selling the financial assets.
Purchases and sales of financial assets occurred when the financial assets are
transferred during the period according to the laws or to the market rules.
Equity investments classified as financial assets at fair value through equity are
those, that are not classified as trading investments. After initial measurement, fair
value changes are reported in the statement of comprehensive income until:
The investment when disposed, the cumulative unrealized gain or losses are
recognized in income statement.
The impairment loss is recognized, then cumulative unrealized losses
recognized in income statement.
Realized gains on such investments are recorded on the income statement when
earned.
Financial assets at fair value through equity are stated at cost when their fair value
cannot be reliably determined.

Annual Report 2013
Fair value for financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instrument represent the closing price of similar items with a
market price in active markets at financial statements date. Unquoted investments
are measured at fair value on the basis of market price for similar investments.
Fair value measurement
The bank measures most of its financial instruments, and discloses some of its
non-financial assets such as investment properties, at fair value at each reporting
date. Also, fair values of financial instruments and non-financial assets measured
at cost are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction
to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market
for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Bank.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market
participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest
and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
The Bank uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and
for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of
relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial
statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
The Bank determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the
hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period .
External appraisers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as
investment properties. The Bank decides, after discussions with the external
appraiser, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Bank has determined classes of
assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the
asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Impairment of financial assets
The Bank assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is
any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is
impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the income
statement.
11
Annual Report 2013
Equity classified as financial assets at fair value through equity - if there is a
prolonged decline in the fair value below cost, the decline is measured at the
original cost, and the period of the prolonged decline is measured from the
period of decline of fair value below cost. Impairment is the difference between
cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the
income statement.
For debt instruments classified as financial assets and carried at cost impairment is the difference between amortized cost and fair value less any
impairment loss previously recognized in the income statement.
Restricted investment accounts
The Bank receives an agreed upon percentage of profits as commission for
investing customers’ restricted investment accounts in specific ventures on behalf
of the customers. This commission represents the difference between the
percentage of profit earned from the specific venture and the percentage agreed
upon with customers. Customers bear profits or losses resulting from these
ventures except in the case of the Bank’s violation, negligence or non-compliance
with agreed upon conditions, then the Bank bears the resulting losses.
Return on unrestricted investment accounts
Returns are distributed to unrestricted investment accounts according to the
Bank’s policy and after deducting the Bank’s share as a Mudarib.
Profits from jointly financed Islamic financing and investments are distributed
according to the average monthly balances of such investments. The distribution
for all currencies is as follows:

The Bank bears all administrative costs. In addition, the executive management of
the Bank adjusts the profit percentage distributed to unrestricted investment
accounts according to the Bank’s results as well as prevailing market rates.
Profit equalization reserve
The excess of adjusted profits is recorded in profit equalization reserve to face the
volatility of returns on unrestricted investment accounts. In case that the
amortized profit to be distributed is less than the realized profit, the Bank uses
profit equalization reserve.
In case of the absence of profits for distribution, the Bank has the right to grant
non-refundable gifts for the unrestricted investment accounts.
Murabaha receivables
Murabaha receivables are recorded at cost net of provision for doubtful Murabaha
and suspended profits. Specific provision is established when there is objective
evidence that may affect future cash flows, When the impairment is measurable,
provision is recorded in the income statement.

Annual Report 2013
Non performing Murabaha profits are suspended in accordance with PMA
instructions.
Murabaha receivables accounts are written off from the provision when the
collection procedures become ineffective. The excess in the provision and cash
recoveries of Murabaha receivables that were previously written off are recorded
in the income statement.
Ijarah receivables
Ijarah is the benefit of ownership against compensation and is divided into two
types:
Operating Ijarah: are lease contracts that do not end with the lessee to own the
leased asset.
Ijarah muntahia bittamleek: are leases, which expire with the lessee owning the
leased asset and take several types as reflected in the standard lease and capital
lease in accordance with the financial accounting standards for Islamic financial
institutions.
Ijarah receivables are recorded at cost including direct cost to make ready for
intended use. Income is distributed in proportion to the financial periods covered
by the lease contract. Maintenance expenses are recorded in the financial period in
which they occur.
Istisna’a financing
Istisna'a is a contract of sale between the Bank as maker or contractor and the
owner of the contract (the buyer), where the Bank undertakes to build or
manufacture the subject of the contract, upon request of the owner of the contract
and according to his/her specifications, for the right price and in a manner agreed
upon payment, whether paid in advance or by installments or deferring payment to
a specific date in the future. Istisna'a is recoded at fair value after deducting the
suspended profits and provision for doubtful Islamic financing.
Mudarabah
Mudarabah is the partnership that the Bank in which contributes to the working
capital of the beneficiary. Mudarabah is recorded at fair value after deducting the
suspended profits and provision for doubtful Islamic financing.
Properties held for rental, or for capital appreciation purposes, or both, are
classified as investments properties. Investments properties are measured initially
at cost including transaction costs, being the fair value of the consideration given
and acquisition charges associated with the property. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value and changes in fair value
are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. In case of decline in the
carrying value of these properties a provision should be taken and recognized in
the income statement in the period where the decline occurs.
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and/or
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing
part of the property and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction
projects if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs
are recognized in the income statement as incurred. Land is not depreciated.

Annual Report 2013
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives at
the following annual rates:
Useful life
Years
Buildings
50
Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements
5-14
Motor vehicles
10
Computers
5
An item of property and equipment and any significant part initially recognized 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
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is
derecognized.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed
at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Intangible assets
The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value
as at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on
initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of the intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or
indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic
life. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in
the income statement. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment annually and the impairment expenses are recognized in the income
statement.
Intangible assets resulting from the Bank’s operations are not capitalized and
should be recognized in the income statement in the period the expenditure
incurred.
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. Also the
economic useful lives for definite life intangible assets are reassessed and any
adjustments are made in the subsequent periods.
Intangible assets comprise computer software. Bank’s management estimates the
useful lives of the intangibles; the intangibles are amortized using the straight line
method based on the expected useful live of 5 years.
Assets obtained by the Bank by calling on collateral
Assets obtained by the Bank by calling on collateral are stated in the statement of
financial position under “Other assets” at the lower of the carrying value or fair
value of the assets. These assets are revaluated individually at the date of the
financial statements at fair value. Any impairment loss is recorded in the income
statement. However, any appreciation in the assets’ value is not recorded as gain.
Subsequently, the gain resulted from the appreciation of the assets value is
recorded in the income statement to extent of the impairment loss previously
recorded.

Zakat
During 2012, the Bank has changed the policy related to Zakat, in which each
shareholder bears the payment responsibility of his/her Zakat payment. The Bank,
with the consent of Shari'a Supervisory Board, annually informs the shareholders
with the amount of Zakat due on each share.
Earnings prohibited by Shari’a
The Bank records earnings prohibited by Shari’a in a special account that is shown
in the statement of financial position within other liabilities account. This amount is
disbursed on charitable activities as determined by the Bank’s Shari’a Supervisory
Board.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in
the statement of financial position only when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognized amounts and the Bank intends to either settle on a net basis,
or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) arising from a past event and the costs to settle the obligation are
both probable and able to be reliably measured.
Tax provisions
Income tax expense is calculated based on taxable income that may differ from
accounting income as the later includes non-taxable income or non-deductible
expenses. Such income/expenses might be taxable/deductible in the following
years.
The Bank provides for income taxes in accordance with the rates enforced by law
and regulations of Palestine as well as International Accounting Standards (12).
Deferred income tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary
differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred taxes are calculated according to tax rates that are expected to applicable
on the date of the tax settlement or the realization of deferred tax assets.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Bank by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the Bank (after deducting interest and any related
expenses on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of
ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential
ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
Cash and cash equivalents
Represents cash on hand and cash balances at the PMA, cash at financial
institutions, and investments at Islamic banks that mature within three months
after subtracting banks and financial institutions’ deposits that mature within three
months and the restricted balances.
15
Annual Report 2013
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the year are recorded using exchange rates
that were in effect at the dates of transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange
rates prevailing at the financial statements date as issued by PMA.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated
using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of determining the fair value.
Any foreign currency exchange gains or losses are taken to the income statement.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires Bank’s management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of financial assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, These estimates and assumptions
also affect the revenues, expenses and the resultant provisions, In particular,
considerable judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount
and timing of future cash flows. Such estimates are necessarily based on
assumptions about several factors involving varying degrees of judgment and
uncertainty and actual results may differ resulting in future changes in such
provisions.
Management believes that estimates are reasonable and are as follows:
Provision for doubtful Islamic financing: the Bank reviews its provision
according to PMA regulations.
Tax provisions are calculated based on the tax rates, prevailing laws and
accounting standards that are applicable at the statement of financial position
date.
Management reviews periodically the useful lives of the tangible and intangible
assets in order to assess the depreciation and amortization for the year based
on the assets’ condition and useful lives and future economic benefits, any
impairment is recognized in the income statement.
Management reviews, on a regular basis, the financial assets that are stated at
cost to estimate impairments, if any. Impairment losses are recognized in the
income statement.
The fair value of investment properties is determined at least through two
appraisers certified or accredited by the Palestine Capital Market Authority.
Legal cases provision are established to provide for any legal obligations, if
any, based on the opinion of the Bank’s lawyer.

Islamic financing net of provisions for doubtful Islamic financing and suspended
profits, and 0.5% of the indirect Islamic financing. According to PMA instructions

Risk management process
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall risk management approach
and for approving the risk management strategies and principles. In addition, there
are several parties in different departments who are also responsible for risk
management.
The Risk Governance and Compliance Committee (the Committee) has the overall
responsibility for the development of the risk strategy and implementing principles,
frameworks, policies and limits. The Committee is responsible for managing risk
decisions and monitoring risk levels and reports on a monthly basis to the
Supervisory Board.
The Bank discloses any information relevant to the financial statements users that
pertain to the nature and extent of the risks that apply to the Bank and its financial
instruments as of the financial statements date.
I.
Credit risks
Credit risks are those risks resulting from the default of counterparties to the
financial instrument to repay their commitment to the Bank. The Bank, through
credit risk management, sets ceilings for direct credit facilities (retail or corporate)
and total loans granted to each sector and each geographical area. The Bank also
monitors credit risks and continuously evaluates the credit standing of customers.
The Bank also obtains appropriate collaterals from customers.

III. Foreign Currency risks
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in foreign exchange rates. The U.S. $ is the functional currency for the
Bank. The Board of Directors has set limits on positions by currency. In accordance
with the Bank’s policy, positions are monitored on a daily basis and hedging
strategies are used to ensure positions are maintained within established limits.
The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) exchange rate is pegged to the U.S. Dollars, so foreign
currency risk of JOD is not material on the Bank’s financial statements.
The effect of expected decreases in foreign currency rates is equal to and in
opposition to the effect of increases shown below:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which
the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Fair values of balances with PMA, balances at banks and financial institutions,
investments at Islamic banks, Islamic financing, other financial assets, banks and
financial institutions deposits, customers’ deposits, cash margin, other liabilities and
unrestricted investment accounts approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the
short–term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the quoted financial assets at fair value through equity that have a
market price set in accordance with the prices traded on the date of the financial
statements.
Unquoted financial assets at fair value through equity are stated at cost less
accumulated impairment as their fair values cannot be reliably determined.
