The new Companies Law issued through Royal Decree M/132 on 1/12/1443H (corresponding to June 30, 2022) (hereinafter referred as "the Law") came into force on 26/6/1444H (corresponding to January 19, 2023). For certain provisions of the Law, full compliance is expected not later than two years from 26/6/1444H (corresponding to January 19, 2023). The management is in process of assessing the impact of the New Companies Law and will amend its Articles of Association / By-Laws for any changes to align the Articles to the provisions of the Law. Consequently, the Bank shall present the amended Articles of Association / By-Laws to the shareholders in the General Assembly meeting for their ratification.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Bank, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made wherever necessary in the financial statements of the subsidiaries to align with the Bank's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Subsidiaries are the entities that are controlled by the Bank. The Bank controls an entity when it is exposed, or has a right, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over that entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank and cease to be consolidated from the date on which the control is transferred from the Bank. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the period, if any, are consolidated in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income from the effective date of the acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Balances between the Bank and its subsidiaries, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

4. Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accounting policies, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 01, 2024. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2024, but do not have a significant impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group.
