On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present to you the 2016 consolidated financial statements for the Union National Bank (UNB) Group. In 2016, the UNB Group continued to pursue its strategy of growing its business in a selective and sustainable manner. Global Economy The global growth slowed in 2016 due to the subdued growth in some of the major economies. The key drivers for slower growth were weak business investment environment, increased political risks due to rising protectionism trends, efforts to rebalance overcapacity in certain markets, lower commodity prices and overall soft demand across many major economies. Growth is expected to pick up slightly from 2017 as the global economy continues to be supported by recovery in developed economies driven by accommodative monetary policy, improvement in commodity prices and stronger economic activity. Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the UAE The GCC region continued to face challenging economic environment due to lower oil prices in 2016. Many countries in the GCC have initiated various measures to bridge the deficits including fiscal consolidation, subsidy reforms, introducing new forms of taxation, etc. Strategic plans have been announced for diversification of economy and reduce dependence on oil related revenues. In 2016, banking sector witnessed strain on liquidity, lower margins and region wide consolidation efforts to make bigger regional players to compete effectively at regional and international level. Recent oil price trends reflect the production cuts mandated by OPEC and non OPEC countries to stabilize the oil prices at more sustainable levels. Higher oil revenues should bolster the domestic banking systems, which in turn should be growth supportive. Among the GCC countries, the UAE economy is probably the best placed due to its diverse economic base with lesser reliance on oil revenues. Nonoil related growth should improve due to the infrastructure spend ahead of EXPO 2020. The UAE banking industry should remain sound as banks continue to maintain strong capital positions, hold adequate liquidity and asset quality metrics improve. UNB Group The UNB Group reported a net profit for fiscal 2016 of AED 1,583 million, lower by 15% compared to the preceding year. The operating income of AED 3,487 million for 2016, registered a decline of 7% compared to the previous year. The operating income as also the operating profit were impacted adversely mainly due to the market conditions that have resulted in higher cost of deposits and lower net interest margins for the local banking sector, including UNB. However, the Group s continued efforts to increase its share of nonfunded business led to an increase in the related revenues, which is noteworthy. The net interest income at AED 2,630 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, decreased by 10% over prior year for the reasons mentioned earlier. The net interest margin for 2016 was lower by 37 bps at 2.66% due to the higher cost of deposits and interestsuspension on the SME portfolio. The noninterest income positively uptrended, higher by 6% in 2016 to AED 858 million largely due to increase in gain on dealing in foreign currencies & derivatives, net investment income and fair value gain on investment properties. The consolidated assets of the Group as at 31 December 2016 were AED 103.9 billion, registering a growth of 2% compared to the prior yearend. The loans and advances increased by 8% in 2016 to AED 73.7 billion as at 31 December 2016, with investments growing by 7% to AED 15.8 billion as at 31 December 2016. The customers deposits increased by 4% during 2016 and were at AED 77.5 billion at the yearend. In the second half of the year, the Bank successfully issued US$ 600 million of 5year senior unsecured bonds under its Euro Medium Term Note program. The issuance received a strong demand from international, regional and local investors. The liquidity position of the Group has been satisfactorily managed and remained sound, with the credit to deposit ratio being 95.1% as at 31 December 2016. The liquid assets including investments constituted 24.9% of the total assets as at 31 December 2016. The advances to stable resources ratio calculated as per the Central Bank of the UAE guidelines was circa 85% as at 31 December 2016, well within the regulatory norms. The Bank, also very comfortably met other 6

regulatory liquidity requirements, like the Eligible Liquid Assets ratio and the Liquidity Coverage ratio. The ratio of nonperforming loans to gross loans and advances improved to 3.4% (31 December 2015: 3.5%) with the loan loss coverage of 108.3% as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: 107.7%). The Group has prudently been managing the credit risk recognizing provisions, in line with the Central Bank of the UAE regulations and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. At the yearend, the general provision represented 1.60% of the credit risk weighted assets, ahead of the requirements set by the regulator. Operating expenses in 2016 increased by 9% to AED 1,133 million and continue to be tightly managed. The increase in expenses is to support higher business activity levels along with investments in infrastructure and technology upgrades. The return on average equity, excluding the Tier I capital notes of 9.9% for 2016 and the return on average assets of 1.5% for 2016, declined due to lower profits. The capital position remained strong with the Overall capital adequacy ratio and Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio being 18.9% and 17.8% respectively as at the year end. These ratios remain significantly above the minimum requirements set by the Central Bank of the UAE of 12% for the overall capital adequacy ratio and 8% for the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio. Dividend distribution The Board of Directors is pleased to recommend to the shareholders of the Bank a distribution of cash dividend of 20% (AED 0.20 per share) amounting in aggregate to AED 550 million. Accolades and recognition During 2016, the Bank was the recipient of various prestigious industry awards. Listed below are only some of the key recognitions conferred on the Bank during the course of the year. Union National Bank won six awards at the 2016 International Business Awards (Stevies). UNB won the Best Regional Sharia Fund Manager Award at Global Investor/ISF 2016 Middle East Awards. UNB received the The Majestic Falcon Award for Quality and Excellence presented by the Otherways Association. UNB has won the prestigious 2016 International Diamond Prize for Quality choice presented by the European Society for Quality Research. UNB CEO received the Best Business Leader Award & UNB received Customer Delight Award from MENAA 2016. UNB CEO won The International Socrates Award in the Finance & Banking category. UNB was conferred with the GCC Best Employer Brand award 2016 hosted by the Employer Branding Institute. Appreciations On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our valued customers for their continued patronage, the top management and the employees for their unstinted commitment and dedication and to various governmental bodies for their guidance and support. I wish to also acknowledge the contribution of the Central Bank of the UAE in regulating and supporting the UAE banking sector. In conclusion, we express our gratitude to the Government of the UAE under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, Ruler of Abu Dhabi Emirate, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces as well as Their Highnesses, the Rulers of the various Emirates. Their continuing wisdom, assured leadership and progressive guidance all contribute to the bright outlook, security and opportunities that both the United Arab Emirates and Union National Bank can look forward to. UNB won the Best Enterprise award from the Europe Business Assembly (EBA). Additionally, UNB CEO won the Manager of the Year award from EBA. Union National Bank won the Superbrand award 2016 for the 6th consecutive year. Union National Bank has been recognized with the ISO 22301 and is now certified for the Business Continuity Management Systems by LRQA. UNB received four product awards Best Customer Deposit Scheme, Best Consumer Insurance Product, Best Savings Account and Best Current Account Product at the 2016 Banker Middle East Product Awards. UNB was recognized at the Forbes Middles East event for being amongst the Top Companies in the Arab World 2016. 7

I am pleased to present the 2016 Review Report for Union National Bank (UNB) Group. Amid a backdrop of demanding market conditions and continued uncertain global environment, the UNB Group has remained focused on its strategy of developing its franchise and business sustainably. The Group has continued to maintain financial prudence and discipline, with UNB consistently being included by the Global Finance, an international Finance Journal, among the 50 Safest Banks in Emerging Markets. The Bank s ranking improved by five notches from 22nd in 2015 to 17th rank in 2016, among the 50 Safest Banks in Emerging Markets in 2016. The Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC), remain attentive to diversify their economies to mitigate the impact of lower oil price, whilst also undertaking other structural changes. The UAE banking sector was impacted by lower oil revenues resulting in tighter liquidity, higher cost of deposits and lower margins which has somewhat impacted the profitability of the UAE banking sector. In 2017, the market conditions are expected to improve as firmer oil prices should positively impact the liquidity conditions in the market. The strategy of the Group remains to enhance the banking experience for our customers to achieve our vision to be the best in class in banking industry in the UAE. Financial Review The net profit for the year was AED 1,583 million, lower by 15% over the previous year mainly on account of lower operating income impacted by a decline in net interest margin due to higher cost of deposits due to tighter liquidity conditions in the market. The operating profit for 2016 was AED 2,354 million, a decrease of 13% compared to 2015. The operating income for 2016 was AED 3,487 million, lower by 7% compared to 2015. In line with the trends witnessed across the local banking sector, the higher cost of deposits impacted negatively both the operating income and operating profit for the UNB Group. The net interest income and net income from Islamic financing for 2016 was lower by 10% at AED 2,630 million mainly due to reduction in net interest margin and interest suspension on the impaired SME portfolio. In 2016, the net interest margin decreased by 37 bps to 2.66%. Considerable focus and effort to diversify the revenue streams led to the noninterest income increasing in 2016 by 6% to AED 858 million. The increase in noninterest income for 2016 was mainly due to higher gain on dealing in foreign currencies & derivatives, net investment income and fair value gain on investment properties. Following, a 7% growth in loans and advances in 2015, the loan book increased by 8% in 2016 to AED 73.7 billion as at 31 December 2016. Also, the investment portfolio increased in 2016 by 7% to AED 15.8 billion as at 31 December 2016, mainly to comply with the liquidity regulations issued by the Central bank of the UAE and to enhance the balance sheet returns. Liquidity was well managed throughout the year, with the Bank comfortably complying with the regulatory requirements for Advances to Stable Resources ratio and the Eligible Liquid Assets ratio, as set by the Central Bank of the UAE. The consolidated assets of the UNB Group increased by 2% in 2016 to AED 103.9 billion as at 31 December 2016. Operating expenses increased by 9% in 2016 to AED 1,133 million. The increase in expenses was to support higher business activity levels along with investments in infrastructure and technology upgrades. The cost to income ratio for 2016 was 32.5% and remains amongst the best locally. 8

Customers Deposits AED Billion As of 31st December of each year The ratio of nonperforming loans and advances to gross loans and advances was 3.4% as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: 3.5%) with loan loss coverage of 108.3% (31 December 2015: 107.7%). The impairment charge reduced in 2016 by 10% to AED 702 million due to write backs and stable provisions. Included in the impairment charge stated above are additional general provisions recognized during the year with the cumulative collective impairment representing 1.6% of the total credit risk weighted assets, ahead of the requirements set by the regulators. The return on average equity, excluding Tier 1 capital notes was 9.9% for 2016 (2015: 12.1%) and the return on average assets was 1.5% for 2016 (2015: 1.9%). The earnings per share for 2016 was AED 0.55 (2015: AED 0.65), lower by 15% compared to 2015. The capital ratios remained strong, with the Overall Basel II capital adequacy ratio being 18.9% as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: 19.4%) and the Tier I capital adequacy ratio being 17.8% as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015: 18.3%). Both the ratios remained significantly above the respective regulatory thresholds of 12% for overall capital adequacy and 8% for Tier 1 capital adequacy. The Board of Directors has proposed a cash dividend of 20% (AED 0.20 per share) of the paidup share capital of the Bank subject to necessary consents. The dividend payout ratio for 2016 was circa 35% (2015: circa 30%). Corporate Banking Corporate banking is a key segment and contributed 43% of the UNB Group s net profit in 2016. The net profit for the Corporate banking segment at AED 673 million was lower by Cost to Income Ratio 10% over preceding year due to a reduction in net interest income mainly driven by higher cost of deposits. During 2016, the noninterest income improved by 8% on the back of higher business volumes. Assets registered a healthy growth of 10% in 2016 to AED 34.5 billion as at 31 December 2016 while liabilities increased by 9% over previous yearend. The Bank launched the improved electronic banking platform which offers customized cash management solutions and serves as one stop corporate service centre to enhance customer experience. Consumer Banking Consumer banking segment remained the single highest contributor in terms of operating income with a contribution of 36% or AED 1,250 million in 2016. The net profit for Consumer banking was AED 237 million in 2016, a decrease of 26% due to reduction in net interest income on account of higher cost of deposits and lower revenues from SME business. The Consumer banking assets registered a growth of 6% in 2016 to AED 16.0 billion as at 31 December 2016 while liabilities increased by 7% during the year. Net Interest Income & Income from Islamic Financing AED Million 9

As of 31st December of each year Total Equity AED Billion Islamic Banking In 2016, the net profit from Islamic banking reduced by 6% to AED 173 million, mainly due to lower net income from Islamic financing on account of higher funding costs partly offset by higher fair value gain on investment properties. The Islamic banking assets grew by 5% in 2016 to AED 8.2 billion as at 31 December 2016. Islamic banking offers end to end product offerings through wide range of Shari a compliant Islamic products and services to meet customer requirements. Islamic banking continued to support development of various UAE based projects and related businesses through strategic relations with reputed business players in the market. Treasury and Investment Banking The operating income for the segment reduced slightly by 4% in 2016 over the preceding year. The operating profit in 2016 was lower by 5% at AED 361 million mainly due to lower net interest income by 21% on account of increased funding cost partly offset by an increase in other operating income by 38% due to increase in gain on foreign currencies & derivatives and net investment income. The segmental assets decreased by 5% to AED 32.2 billion as at 31 December 2016. As part of proactive balance sheet management, the portfolio of high quality fixed income investments was further aligned to the impending regulatory requirements while registering growth in return on investments. Segmental liabilities were lower by 11% to AED 16.9 billion as at 31 December 2016. In 2016, a series of innovative products and campaigns were launched targeting customers across various segments.

The assets for the segment grew by 11% to AED 7.0 billion as at 31 December 2016 while the segmental liabilities were lower by 5% at AED 7.7 billion. Private banking and Wealth management expanded its market share by growing the existing clientele portfolio among the UAE, GCC & Mena Region as well as expanding its physical presence in the UAE by introducing its new office in Dubai.

Based on the performance assessment, the external firm is of the opinion that its overall activities and oversight are proportionate to the risk complexities of the Bank and appropriate to meet the stakeholders expectation in a reasonable manner. Significant recommendation(s) put forth by the external firm have been considered and adopted by the Bank. Board has undertaken the selfassessment of the governance framework, functioning of the Board and its committees for the year 2016. Insider trading restriction The Bank considers that the Directors, the CEO, Senior Management, Deputy Heads of Divisions and other identified staff, by virtue of their functional positions may have privileged access to price sensitive material information about the Bank. Such persons are identified and treated as Insiders and market authorities are advised accordingly. 15

As per the Bank s disclosure policy insiders are prohibited from trading in the securities of the Bank, fifteen days prior to the end of financial reporting period (quarterly/halfyearly/annual) till the disclosure to the public / market authorities and also ten working days prior to the declaration of any substantive information that may affect the Bank s share price.

The CEO has the functional responsibility for the day to day management of the Bank in accordance with the strategic direction and guidance within the delegated authorities and policies approved by the Board. The Board has delegated certain authorities to the CEO and management committees whose responsibilities are set out in their respective charters. The CEO maintains close liaison with the work of the management committees.

The Bank s CCAP program includes assessing the overall risk profile, determining material risks, undertaking stress testing to shock scenarios that are proportionate to risk complexities of the Bank and allocating the capital under Basel Pillar 2 to ensure financial solidity and long term sustainability. Based on our assessment the Bank maintains adequate capital to support future business growth with sufficient countercyclical buffer. risk threats. The Bank encountered few incidents of external fraud risk attempts during 2016. The Bank and the senior management continue to adopt dynamic fraud risk response measures and enhance preventive and detective control procedures, system capabilities and tools to combat cybercrime and fraud risks. During the year 2016 actual and potential operational loss reckoned by the Bank owing cybercrime and fraud risk is not material. The Bank practices fair customer care policy and adopts prudent measures to protect customers interest and preserve the Bank s reputation.

The SAAR stipulates that the same Statutory Auditors cannot be appointed for a period exceeding four consecutive years with a cooling period of at least four years before the same firm can be appointed as the Statutory Auditors. The external auditors did not provide any material consultative or administrative service to the Bank during the year that would conflict with the independence principle. Major shareholders of UNB The shareholders holding more than five percent of the share capital of the Bank as at the end of 31 December 2016 are provided below: Abu Dhabi Investment Council 50.01 % Investment Corporation of Dubai 10.00 % Conclusion The Board of Directors and the senior management believe that the Bank s governance practices are appropriately designed to serve and safeguard the interests of the various stakeholders and sustainably enhance shareholders value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT The Shareholders Union National Bank Public Joint Stock Company Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Union National Bank PJSC, Abu Dhabi (the Bank ) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the other ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Bank s consolidated financial statements in the United Arab Emirates, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters How the matter was addressed in our audit Impairment allowance for loans and advances The appropriateness of loan loss provisions is a key area of judgement for management. The identification of loans that are deteriorating, the assessment of objective evidence of impairment and the determination of recoverable amounts are an inherently uncertain process involving various assumptions and factors including the financial condition of the counterparty, expected future cash flows, observable market prices and value of collateral. The use of different modelling techniques and assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of loan loss provisions. Due to the significance of loans and advances (representing 71% of total assets) and the related estimation uncertainty, we consider this a key audit matter. The portfolios which give rise to the greatest estimation uncertainty are typically those with exposures that are unsecured or are subject to potential cash flow or collateral shortfalls as well as impairments that are derived from collective models. Associated risk management disclosure is complex and dependent on high quality data. It is the judgements for collective provisioning which are the most significant as they are the most sensitive to model adjustment. A key judgement is the assessment of the likelihood of default as there is limited historic data. The Bank s individual provisions are also subjective as a result of judgements exercised and the relatively limited amount of data available about future expected cash flows. These loans are individually monitored and the assessment of provisions for these loans involves substantial knowledge of each borrower. The key judgement for individual provisions on these portfolios is the recoverable value of underlying collateral. We assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the controls over individual and collective impairment calculations including the quality of underlying data and systems. For loan loss provisions calculated on an individual basis we tested the assumptions underlying the impairment identification and quantification including forecasts of future cash flows, valuation of underlying collateral and estimates of recovery on default. For loan loss provisions calculated on a collective basis we tested the underlying models including the model approval and validation process. We also tested the appropriateness of the assumptions and accuracy of the inputs applied with respect to probability of default and loss given default rates and where available, compared data and assumptions made to external benchmarks. Finally, we assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the controls over related disclosures. 22

Union National Bank Public Joint Stock Company INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Key audit matters (continued) Key audit matters How the matter was addressed in our audit Valuation of securities and derivatives Financial instruments that are measured at fair value are significant for the financial statements of the Bank, such as investment securities, trading positions and derivatives (15% of total assets). For financial instruments that are actively traded and for which quoted market prices or market parameters are available, there is high objectivity in the determination of fair values (level 1 instruments). However, when observable market prices or market parameters are not available the fair value is subject to significant estimation uncertainty. The fair value of those financial instruments (level 2 and level 3 instruments) is determined through the application of valuation techniques which often involves the exercise of judgement by management and the use of assumptions and estimates. The valuation of those instruments is considered a key audit matter due to the related estimation uncertainty. We assessed the design and operating effectiveness of the Bank s key controls supporting the identification, measurement and oversight of valuation risk of financial instruments. We examined the Bank s independent price verification processes and approved processes over data feeds and other inputs to valuation and the Bank s governance and reporting processes and controls. For samples selected, we compared fair values with observable externally available market data. We determined that we could rely on the key controls operated by the Bank for the purposes of our audit. For the more judgemental valuations, which may depend on observable and unobservable inputs, we evaluated the assumptions, methodologies and models used by the Bank. Valuation of investment property The Bank carries investment properties at fair value (AED 2,029 million) and its measurement is inherently subjective due to the individual nature and location of each property which considerably influences the expected future rental income. The result of the revaluation is a gain of AED 28 million this reporting period. The valuations are carried out by third party valuers in accordance with the RICS Valuation Professional Standards and IFRS 13 and take into account, where available, evidence of comparable market transactions. Information technology and controls over financial reporting We assessed the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the third party valuers, verified their qualifications, and discussed the scope of their work. We challenged the valuation methodologies and tested the data inputs underpinning the valuation for a sample of properties. We have also involved our subject matter experts to assess key assumptions used and ensured their accuracy, completeness and reliability. We also compared a sample of the valuations to our expectations and challenged any differences. The Bank is vitally dependent on its information technology infrastructure for the reliability and continuity of its business operations and financial reporting due to the extensive volume and variety of transactions which are processed daily. In 2016, the Bank continued to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its technology infrastructure and the reliability and continuity of the IT processing. Our audit approach relies on automated controls and therefore procedures are designed to test access and control over IT systems, however, we assessed the reliability and continuity of electronic data processing only to the extent necessary within the scope of the audit of the financial statements. Our work consisted of assessing the developments in the IT infrastructure and analysing the impact on the IT organisation. Our audit procedures included Reviewing major IT systems and applications including swift messaging; Reviewing general computer controls for key IT systems; Assessing IT security environment using our certified IT auditors; Focused on key controls and computer generated information testing on significant IT systems relevant to business processes; and Performed journal entry testing as stipulated by the International Standard on Auditing. 23

Union National Bank Public Joint Stock Company INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Other information The Board of Directors and management are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual report of the Bank. We obtained the Chairman s Report prior to the date of this auditor s report, and the remaining information of the annual report is expected to be made available to us after that date. The other information does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor s report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the remaining information of the annual report of the Bank, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and their preparation in compliance with the applicable provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors and Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing the Bank s financial reporting process. Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 24

Union National Bank Public Joint Stock Company INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements (continued) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Bank to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements As required by the UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015, we report that: we have obtained all the information we considered necessary for the purposes of our audit; the consolidated financial statements of the Bank have been prepared and comply, in all material respects, with the applicable provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015; the Bank has maintained proper books of account; the financial information included in the Chairman s Report is consistent with the Bank s books of account; note 15 to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank discloses purchased or invested in shares during the financial year ended 31 December 2016; note 32 to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank discloses material related party transactions, the terms under which they were conducted and principles of managing conflict of interests; based on the information that has been made available to us nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Bank has contravened during the financial year ended 31 December 2016 any of the applicable provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. (2) of 2015 or of its Articles of Association which would materially affect its activities or its financial position as at 31 December 2016; and note 10 to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank discloses social contributions made during the financial year ended 31 December 2016. Further, as required by the UAE Union Law No (10) of 1980, as amended, we report that we have obtained all the information and explanations we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit.
