Increase in profit in 2004 is mainly due to the policy of forming allotments for
managing loan risk in the context of final statements for the year 2004 instead
of the (3) year round. This lead the bank to having a relaxed status as to the
allotments of doubtful loans after forming extra allotments for the loan risks
during 2005 in addition to retained allotments generating from the difference
of the inertest value on government loans from 8% to 5% yearly.

Provisions for loan impairment comprised both specific provision as well asprovision for potential losses not specifically identified but which experienceindicates are present in the mortgage accounts portfolio. A loan impairmentprovision represents the difference between the carrying amount of the loanand the recoverable amount, which is the current value of any expected cashflow, including amounts recoverable from collateral, discounted based atinception interest rates.

O M A N H O U S I N G B A N K26
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of property andequipment on a straight line basis over the expected useful economic lives ofthe assets concerned. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:
YearsBuildings 25 Furniture and fixtures and office equipments 5-10 Other equipments 5Motor vehicles 5
Capital work in progress is not depreciated until the asset is put to use, and willbe depreciated based on the rates applicable to its particular category uponcapitalisation.
Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment is determined as thedifference between the carrying amount of the asset and its selling price anddealt in the income statement.
Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of itstangible assets (or cash-generating unit) to determine whether there is anyindication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any suchindication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order todetermine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
The loss arising on an impairment of an asset is determined as the differencebetween the recoverable amount and carrying amount of the asset and isrecognised immediately in the income statement.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of theasset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so thatthe increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount thatwould have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for theasset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as incomeimmediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in whichcase the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Borrowings
Bank borrowings, term loans and Government loans are recognized initially atcost less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, thereare stated at amortised cost with any difference between proceeds, net oftransaction costs, and the redemption value recognized in the incomestatement over the years of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

28. Risk management policies
Overview
The activities undertaken by the Bank expose it to various types of risks. TheBank borrows money from the Government, foreign and local financialinstitutions and local commercial banks at both fixed and floating interestrates and for various periods and seeks to earn above average interestmargins by investing these funds in providing housing loans. The Bankcontinuously reviews its policies and internal control sys tems in order toensure they include all reasonable procedures to minimise the risks as muchas possible.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the borrower of a loan fails to adhere to the terms ofborrowing, causing the Bank to incur a financial loss in terms of cash flow ormarket value.
The management of the Bank has established policies and procedures tominimise the credit risk. These procedures include mortgage over the fundedreal estate, life insurance cover for the borrower and insurance for theproperty against risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Bank may face in obtaining funds to meet itsobligations at any given time. The Bank's liquidity management policies aredesigned to ensure that even under adverse conditions the Bank would be ina position to meet its obligations.
The Board of Directors and the management monitor the Bank's liquidityrequirements. The Bank endeavors to obtain low cost borrowings either locallyor internationally, on both a short and long term basis to finance its loans.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of the Bank's net earnings to movements ininterest rates. In order to minimise this risk, the Bank borrows locally, underarrangements which have a tenor of less than one year. In addition theinterest rate on the government loans are low, which helps to minimise theinterest rate risk.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005 (continued)
29. Segmental information
The bank operates only one business segment of the banking industry and itsoperating revenues arise from providing finance for housing in the Sultanate ofOman. All the relevant information relating to the primary segment is disclosedin the balance sheet, income statement and notes to the financial statements.
30. Taxation
In accordance with Royal Decree No. 51/77, the Bank is exempt from payingincome tax.
31. Fair values
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liabilitysettled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.Accordingly variances may arise between the historical cost and the fair value.
The Board of Directors' estimate, except for the government and housing loans,the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Bank are not materially differentfrom their carrying amounts. The assumptions made to determine the fair valueare as follows:
Short term financial instruments
The carrying amount of cash on hand and at banks, due from other banks andthe short term financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet under otherassets and other liabilities are considered to be reasonable estimate of the fairvalues due to their short term nature.
Mortgage loan accounts
The mortgage loan accounts are expected to run to maturity. It is not practicableto determine the fair value of mortgage accounts as the subsidy received fromthe Government is capped at an amount that is determined by the Governmentannually. Consequently it is not feasible to assess the total return from theseaccounts for future periods.
Customers' deposits
The fair values of saving accounts with no stated maturity approximate is carryingvalue. The fair value of term deposits is estimated using the rates offered fordeposits having similar terms and conditions.
Term loans from banks
The fair values of term loans are estimated using the interest rates offered for loanswith similar terms and conditions.
Loans from the Government
The fair values of loans 1 and 2 (Refer note 11) from the Government areestimated using the interest rates offered for loans with similar terms andconditions. No fair value can be determined for subordinated loan in theabsence of repayment schedule.
32. Comparative figures
Certain previous year figures have been reclassified to conform with the currentyear presentation.
33. Approval of financial statements
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorisedfor issue in their meeting held on 11 March 2006.
