Shareholders Dear Sirs/Madame... It honors me to submit to you a brief report on the most significant global and local economic developments and events and to reveal their impact on the financial performance of our bank during the financial year ended as at the last of December 2010. First : The World The rate of global economic growth during 2010 amounted to approx. 4% corresponding to 3.4% recession during the previous year as one of the effects of the global financial crisis which most countries – Thanks Be to Allah – has started to recover from its negative repercussions. In spite the recorded rates of growth, yet there are still some challenges that obstruct the continuance of this growth, most important of which is represented in the rates of unemployment in several industrial countries at a relatively high level, in addition to the accumulation of fears from the negative impacts of the Greek sovereign debts crisis and its extension to include some countries of the euro region with the rising deficit in their budgets as a rate of the gross domestic product. In spite of the expansionist monetary and financial policies that were adopted by many countries to face the negative impacts of the global financial crisis and its repercussions that extended to Financial Year 2009 then the first and second quarters of 2010, yet such policies were not successful in overcoming the effects of the crisis finally and decisively. As a result of the foregoing, a status of uncertainty prevails towards the possibility of continuing global economic growth at high rates. Several large industrial countries recorded indicators that attest rise in the rates of inflation as a result of the rise in the prices of most primary goods while maintaining the rates of interests for major currencies at low levels. Most expectations state that globally leading central banks will start tending sooner or later to gradually raise interest rates. The European Central Bank may be the precedent in this trend. Second : Country of Head Office 2010 witnessed gradual improvement in the real annual growth rate for the GDP (by the cost of factors of production) to amount to 5.1% corresponding to 4.7% during the previous year. This rate revolves around the general average of rates of growth of rising economies at the level of the world estimated at approx. 5.6%. 2010 witnessed stability in the rates of exchange of the Egyptian pound against major currencies coinciding with the increase in the net international reserves with the Central Bank of Egypt by US$ 3.9 billion, at a rate of increase amounting to 12.5% annually to amount to US$ 35.2 billion the matter that will cover 9 months of commodity imports. The transactions with the outer world during the financial year resulted in a total surplus in the balance of payments assessed in approx. US$ 3.5 billion against deficit amounting to US$ 3.4 billion in the previous financial year, the matter that reflects clear improvement in the cash flows of free currencies after overcoming the negative impacts of the global financial crisis. With the radical political transformations what were witnessed by 2011 since its beginning, Egypt is plunging into a new challenge represented in achieving the full 6 Annual Report ■ 2010■ General View political change while maintaining appropriate rates of economic growth. We are all confident that Egyptians will be able to face such challenge with success and overcome the difficulties of the transitional phase to reach the best results represented in sound political and democratic life and free prosperous economy that guarantees decent life and social justice for every Egyptian. Third : The Bank Bank's Main Activities The Executive Department was able during the year ended as 31 Dec. 2010 to adopt more conservative standards in managing the assets of the Bank and implementing the strategic trend of the Board of Directors by restructuring utilizations in the manner that achieves minimum risk as follows : 1.Continue liquidating the external investments portfolio whose value as at 31 Dec. 2010 amounted to US$ 383 million corresponding to US$ 534 million as at 31 Dec. 2009 after it was US$ 1225 million as at 31 Dec. 2008. 2.The loans and advances portfolio recorded a rate of growth of approximately 102% as at 31 Dec. 2010 corresponding to 19% as at 31 Dec. 2009. The components of this portfolio varied between loans to customers and economic and financial establishments that enjoy a high degree of solvency with cash flow enabling them to meet their obligations. This portfolio included promising economic sectors such as petroleum, gas, electricity and communications. Governance 3.In spite of the drop in customers’ deposits by approx. 11% as at 31 Dec. 2010 below that of 31 Dec. 2009, yet the Bank was able to fill the financing gap of long and medium term loans portfolio through extending lines of credit with Arab and international banks, where the Bank enjoys a network of correspondents in most countries of the world; accordingly, banks’ deposits with the Bank increased by approx. 107% as at 31 Dec. 2010 corresponding to 39% as at 31 Dec. 2009. Financial Statements 4. The management of the Bank was keen during the year ended 31 Dec. 2010 on continuing to support the provisions withheld to face debts that may default, where the provisions created to face such risk amounted to US$ 154 million as at 31 Dec. 2010 corresponding to US$ 140 million as at 31 Dec. 2009 to cover 9% of the volume of the loans portfolio as at 31 Dec. 2010. Interconnection with Bank 5. In the contentment of the Bank’s management of the achievement realized during the year ended 31 Dec. 2010 and in spite of the inability to predict the results of the consecutive events that affected the economic climate whether of some Arab countries or the country of the head office, the matter with which it becomes difficult to forecast and determine the amount of this impact on the value of some assets and liabilities, the Board recommended to the shareholders’ General Assembly the distribution of dividends among shareholders amounting to US$ 22.5 million (5% of the paid up capital). At the end, the executive department of the Bank conveys its gratitude to the shareholders and the staff for the full support they have provided thereto, the matter that has led to achieving the indicated positive results which we hope will continue by the Grace of Allah.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements These financial statements are the responsibility of Bank’s management. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, management responsibility includes, designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; management responsibility also includes selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. 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 on the financial statements. 32 Annual Report ■ 2010■ Bank's Main Activities Emphasis of matter Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note No. [37] to the financial statements. The Bank was unable to obtain the appropriate data, which could enable it to disclose the effect of the subsequent events on the value of the assets, liabilities and the results of operations in the foreseeable future, since these amounts and results may differ significantly when reliable indicators and signs become available, which enable the use of those indicators and signs in identifying the extent and the impact of the subsequent events on the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities included in the financial statements.

Independence of Risk Management Department from Operation Department, - Appling consistent approach for identify and evaluate Bank’s risks, A- Market risk Market risk represents the loss resulting from adverse changes in market prices, This risk is inherent in all trading transactions and some of the Bank’s operations, Foreign exchange risks represent losses resulting from changes in interest and forex rates for balance sheet and off balance sheet items, Theses risks result from the trading activities of the Bank, Interest rate risks relate to trading activities and are attributed to the difference between total assets and total liabilities of fixed interest rates, The main principle is to minimize the risk of structured interest rate as far as possible, Micro and macro-hedging is made for such risks whenever it is possible, Accordingly, such risks are measured based on the remaining potential risks after such hedging procedures, It is worth mentioning that non-existence of a market for derivatives in Egypt exacerbates the difficulty of implementing local currency hedging transactions, The Bank is exposed to forex rate volatility risk in terms of the financial position and cash flows, The Board of Directors sets limits for foreign currencies at the total value of positions at the end of the day and during the day when timely control is exercised, Asset and Liability Management Committee is concerned with identifying policies and planning to deal with financing and liquidity risks, deciding on the limits of acceptable interest rate risk, approving the assumptions used to determine and measure all risks, and assessing, amending, and approving any recommendations to fill gaps, (if any), Table (C) illustrates the carrying amounts of financial instruments in relevant currencies, B- Operational risk It includes legal, non-compliance, accounting, environmental, and reputation risks, This risk results from losses, fraud, financial misstatements, inappropriate procedures and internal systems, human error, or external events, It also implies those risks associated with legal and administrative penalties, and disciplinary actions due to non-compliance with relevant rules and regulations, Audit committee meets regularly to control operational risk, and ongoing and regular control managed by the inspection department and internal audit department, Legal risks are managed by the legal department and compliance risks are managed by the Compliance Manager, C- Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is defined as a risk resulting from the Bank’s inability to meet cash outflows on maturity at an appropriate price, Liquidity is considered and followed up through models of cash flows according to several scenarios, The Dealing Room is responsible for managing short term liquidity and producing 46 Annual Report ■ 2010■ reports on financial markets, following up on any sign of potential liquidity crisis, and reporting to Asset and Liability Management Committee on the Bank’s needs of liquidity, December 31, 2009 Loans and Loans and facilities facilities to to institutions customers (clients) 201,348 455,685 195,214 396,562 455,685 124,820 7,397 68,385 203,357 448,288 Annual Report ■ 2010■ Interconnection with Bank Neither past due nor impaired Past due but not impaired Impaired Total Less: Allowances Less: Suspense interest Net December 31, 2010 Loans and Loans and facilities facilities to to institutions customers (clients) 173,422 1,351,824 194,885 368,307 1,351,824 122,313 21,211 72,999 172,995 1,330,613 Financial Statements Table No, (A) The status of balances of loans and facilities in terms of credit ratings are as follows: Governance Table (A) Illustrates the status of balances of loans and facilities in terms of credit ratings and Table (B) illustrates the loans and facilities in terms of internal rating used by the Bank.

provisioning, General View D- Credit risks The Bank is exposed to credit risk which means that a party does not repay the amount due from it, Credit risk is the most significant risk encountered by the Bank; therefore, the Bank’s management carefully manages such exposure, Credit risk is mainly represented in lending activities such as loans, facilities, and investment activities, as a result, the Bank’s assets include debt instruments, Credit risk also exists in off balance sheet financial instruments such as loan commitments, Credit risk management and control operations are the responsibility of Risk Management Department which regularly reports to the Board of Directors, top management, and heads of business units, The Bank applies a tight framework to control credit risk, and the credit policy and the authority to grant credit are corner stone of this framework, Both credit policy and the authority to grant credit are determined by the Risk Management Department and business lines, and they are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. 47 Table No, (B) Loans and facilities in terms of internal rating used by the Bank, Individuals (retail) Debit

held to maturity as shown in the previous table include Egyptian treasury bonds classified as financial investments held to maturity, Fair value of financial assets held to maturity is determined based on market prices declared in the stock exchange, 5- Accounting estimates and assumptions The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain, Those judgments and estimates are based on historical experience and other factors including the expectations of the future events that can be reasonably estimated based on available conditions and information, The most significant areas requiring management to make judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts and disclosures are as follows: a) Impairment losses for loans and advances The Bank reviews the portfolio of loans and advances at least quarterly, The Bank uses discretionary judgment on determining whether it is necessary to record impairment loss in the income statement, The Bank has to identify if there is objective evidence indicating a decline in the expected future cash flows from loan portfolio before identifying any decline on individual basis, This evidence include data indicating negative changes in a borrower’s portfolio ability to repay to the Bank or local or economic circumstances related to default, On scheduling future cash flows, the management uses the past experience to determine the credit impairment loss for assets when 50 Annual Report ■ 2010■ 6- Cash and balances with banks 31/12/2009 Cash

Statements d) Held to maturity investments: Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to maturity, This classification requires personal judgment, therefore, the Bank tests whether there is a genuine intent and ability to hold such investments till maturity, If the Bank fails to hold these investments till maturity (except for certain tightly defined circumstances such as if an entity sells an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity investments close to maturity date) investments held to maturity should be reclassified as available-for-sale, which will be measured at fair value instead of amortized cost, Governance c) Derivatives’ fair value: For the unquoted financial instruments, the fair value is determined using a variety of valuation techniques which are tested and reviewed periodically by high qualified staffs that are independent of those who created the models, The models used are validated prior to putting them into use, Inputs to pricing models are generally market-based when available and taken from reliable external data sources, While areas like the Bank credit risk, counterparties, volatility and correlations require management to make judgments and estimations, Changes in the assumptions related to these factors may affect the financial instruments fair values which have been disclosed, Bank's Main Activities b) Impairment of the available for sale equity instruments: In the case of available for sale financial investments, a significant or continuous decline in the fair value of security below its cost is considered as impairment, Where such evidence exists, significant or continuous decline needs a personal judgment, To make this judgment, the Bank assesses-besides other factors-the common share price volatility, In addition, impairment exits when there is objective evidence that a certain company has a financial difficulty in its cash flows from operating and financing activities, industry tool or sector or technological advances, General View there is objective evidence of impairment similar to that of the portfolio in question, The methods and assumptions used in estimating both the amount and timing of the future cash flows are reviewed on a regular basis to minimize any discrepancy between the estimated loss and actual loss based on experience, 51 7- Placements with banks and other financial institutions 31/12/2010 31/12/2009 318,596 453,867 Placements with foreign banks 1,111,429 1,714,911 Total 1,430,025 2,168,778 31/12/2010

effect on the Bank’s assets and liabilities included in the Bank’s financial statements, since quantifying the effect of these events relies on the expected extent and the time frame, when these
