We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Islamic Bank of Yemen for Finance and Investment (YSC) (the Bank) as at 31 December 2003 and the related statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholder’s equity.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.  These Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The financial statements, in our opinion, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2003, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the significant accounting policies set out in note (3).

We further confirm that we have obtained all the information and explanations that we deemed necessary for our audit, that proper books of account have been kept by the Company, an inventory was duly carried out and the information contained in the Board of Directors’ report in so far as they related to the financial statements are in agreement therewith .  We are not aware of any violation of the Commercial Companies Law No (22) of 1997 and the Central Bank Law No (21) of 1996 regarding banks and Islamic banks or the Bank’s articles of association that may have had a material adverse effect on the business of the Bank or its financial position.

The return due on restricted investment accounts is determined on the basis of a mudaraba contract, which determines the profit/ (loss) sharing basis between the parties.  Accordingly, any variances in the profits realised will determine the return ratio that the Bank could pay to the investors and the return paid by the Bank to unrestricted investment account holders.  The Bank is, therefore, not exposed to the risk of any change in the rate of return.

b)         Credit risk

Financing of mudaraba, murabaha and musharaka transactions and their related debts, current accounts, deposits with banks and rights and obligation from others are considered financial assets exposed to credit risk.  Credit risk represents the inability of these parties to meet their obligations when they fall due.  To comply with the provisions of the regulations of the Central Bank of Yemen circular no 10 of 1997) pertaining to the management of credit risk exposure, the Bank adheres to certain minimum standards in order to properly manage its credit risk.  In addition to the standards mentioned, the following additional procedures are applied by the Bank to minimize the credit risk exposure:

·                     preparing credit studies on customers and banks before dealing with them and determining their related credit risk rating.

·                     Obtaining sufficient collaterals to minimize the credit risk exposure which may result in cases of insolvency of customers and banks.

·                     Following up and periodical reviews of customers and banks in order to evaluate their financial positions, credit rating and required provision for non-performing debts.

·                     Distributing credit portfolio and investments over diversified sectors to minimize concentration of credit risk.
