1 INCORPORATION AND REGISTRATION Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait K.S.C.P. ( the Bank ) is a public shareholding company incorporated in Kuwait on 23 May 1967 and is registered as a Bank with the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK). Its registered office is at Al Safat Square, Ahmed Al Jaber Street, Kuwait City. It is engaged in banking in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Egypt. The interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Bank and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group ) for the period ended 31 March 2018 were approved by the Bank s Board of Directors on 10 April 2018. 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION The interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting except as noted below. (a) The annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as adopted for use by the State of Kuwait for financial services institutions regulated by the CBK. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those used in the previous financial year, except for the adoption of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments ( IFRS 9 ) from 1 January 2018 as explained below. (b) The Group has adopted IFRS 9: Financial Instruments ( IFRS 9 ), effective 1 January 2018, except for the requirement of Expected Credit Losses ( ECL ) on credit facilities which has been replaced by CBK requirements for credit losses. The accounting policies on first time IFRS 9 adoption are disclosed in the Note 3. (c) The Group has also adopted IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( IFRS 15 ). IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue guidance, which is found currently across several Standards and Interpretations within IFRS. It established a new five step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The adoption of IFRS 15 and other amendments to IFRSs which are effective for annual accounting period starting from 1 January 2018 did not have any material impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group. (d) The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not contain all information and disclosures required for full financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the Group s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Further, results for the three months period ended 31 March 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2018. 9
3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DUE TO ADOPTION OF IFRS 9 The Group has adopted IFRS 9 issued in July 2014 with a date of initial application of 1 January 2018, with the exception of requirements of the expected credit losses on credit facilities as noted above in Note 2. The requirements of IFRS 9 represent a significant change from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard brings fundamental changes to the accounting for financial assets and to certain aspects of the accounting for financial liabilities. The key changes to the groups accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summariesd below: Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities The Group determine classification and measurement category of financial assets, except equity instruments and derivatives, based on a combination of the entity s business model for managing the assets and the instruments contractual cash flow characteristics. Business model assessment & SPPI test The Group determines its business model at the level that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets to achieve its business objective. The Group s business model is not assessed on an instrument byinstrument basis, but at a higher level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as: - How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the Group's key management personnel; - The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed; - How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows collected) The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Group s assessment. The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or 'stress case scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Group's original expectations, the Group does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward. The SPPI test Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and sell, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments cash flows met Solely Payments of Principal and Interest test (the SPPI test ). Principal for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortisation of the premium/discount). The most significant elements of interest within a basic lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin. To make the SPPI assessment, the Group applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated, and the period for which the interest rate is set. 10
3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DUE TO ADOPTION OF IFRS 9 (continued) Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) Financial assets The Group classifies financial assets upon initial recognition of IFRS 9 into following categories Amortised cost (AC) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) All financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are added to the cost of all financial instruments except for financial assets classified as investments at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs on financial assets classified as investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Amortised cost (AC) The Group classifies financial assets at AC if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets classified at AC are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method adjusted for impairment losses, if any. Interest income, foreign exchange gains/losses and impairment are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Debt instruments at FVOCI The Group classifies debt instruments at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions: The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets The contractual terms of the financial asset meet the SPPI test Debt instrument classified as FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in OCI. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in consolidated income statement. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in OCI are reclassified from OCI to consolidated income statement. Equity instruments at FVOCI Upon initial recognition, the Group may elect to classify irrevocably some of its equity investments as equity instruments at FVOCI when they meet the definition of Equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Such classification is determined on an instrument by instrument basis. Equity instruments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair values including foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in OCI. Dividends are recognised in consolidated income statement when the right of the payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the instrument, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses will be reclassified from fair value reserve to retained earnings in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. 11
3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DUE TO ADOPTION OF IFRS 9 (Continued) Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) Financial assets (continued) Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) The Group classifies financial assets as FVTPL when they have been purchased primarily for short term profit making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short term profit taking. In addition to the above, on initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Financial assets classified as FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement. Interest income and dividends are recognised in the consolidated income statement according to the terms of the contract, or when the right to payment has been established. Financial liabilities The accounting for financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under IAS 39, except for the treatment of gains or losses arising from an Group s own credit risk relating to liabilities designated at FVTPL. Such movements are presented in OCI with no subsequent reclassification to the income statement. Under IFRS 9, embedded derivatives are no longer separated from a host financial asset. Instead, financial assets are classified based on the business model and their contractual terms. The accounting for derivatives embedded in financial liabilities and in non financial host contracts has not changed. Impairment of financial assets IFRS 9 replaces the incurred loss model in IAS 39 with an expected credit loss (ECL) model. The Group has applied the new impairment model except for credit facilities (Refer Note 2). No impairment loss is recognised on equity investments. The Group applies three stage approach to measuring ECL. Assets migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition. Stage 1: 12 months ECL For exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the portion of the lifetime ECL associated with the probability of default events occurring within next 12 months is recognised. Stage 2: Lifetime ECL not credit impaired For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that are not credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised. Stage 3: Lifetime ECL credit impaired Financial assets are assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred. ECL are the discounted product of the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD). The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation, either over the next 12 months (12M PD), or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD) of the obligation. EAD represents the expected exposure in the event of a default. The Bank derives the EAD from the current exposure to the financial instruments and potential changes to the current amounts allowed under the contract including amortisation. The EAD of a financial asset is its gross carrying amount. The LGD represents expected loss conditional on default, its expected value when realised and the time value of money. 12
3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DUE TO ADOPTION OF IFRS 9 (Continued) Impairment of financial assets (continued) Loss allowances for ECL are presented as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial assets for AC. In the case of debt instruments measured at FVOCI, the Group recognises the ECL charge in the consolidated income statement and a corresponding amount is recognised in OCI with no reduction in the carrying amount of the financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position. Hedge accounting The general hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms in IAS 39. However, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify as hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of an economic relationship. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is no longer required. Transition Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below: a) Comparative periods have not been restated. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognised in retained earnings and reserves as at 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not reflect the requirements of IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presented for 2017 under IFRS 9. b) The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application. The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held. The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL. The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI. If a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Group has assumed that credit risk on the asset had not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The impact of this change in accounting policy as at 1st January 2018 is as follows Retained earnings KD 000 s Fair value reserve KD 000 s Impact on reclassification and re measurements: Managed funds classified from AFS to FVTPL (75) 75 Impact on recognition of ECL under IFRS 9 on financial assets other than credit facilities: Debt financial assets at FVOCI (361) 361 Financial assets at amortised cost (deducted from the carrying value) (292) Total impact on date of initial application (728) 436 13
3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES DUE TO ADOPTION OF IFRS 9 (Continued) Transition (continued) The following table shows reconciliation of original classification and carrying value in accordance with IAS 39 and the new measurement classification under IFRS 9 for the Group s financial assets as at 1 January 2018.

Adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in any change in classification or measurement of financial liabilities. 14
