Directors’ Review
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the unconsolidated condensed interim financial information of the
Bank for the quarter and nine months period ended September 30, 2016.
The Bank’s Profit before taxation for the nine months period ended September 30, 2016 was recorded at Rs. 10.621 Billion, as
against Rs. 10.283 Billion for the corresponding period last year, improving by 3 percent.
During the quarter under review, the banking industry witnessed maturities of investments in high yielding Government bonds
which had to be replaced with avenues offering relatively lower yields in line with prevalent market rates.
Our year-on-year net interest income levels reflected an improvement of 2 percent during the current period, as reduction in mark
up expenses outweighed the reduction in top line revenues due to reduction in yields on Government bonds. Non fund income
improved marginally against the level achieved in the prior corresponding period.
Despite lower interest rates directly impacting core revenues, growth in overall bottom line profitability was facilitated by improved
recoveries and lower gross provisioning charge. The Bank’s gross recoveries against the prior period improved by 52 percent, while
gross provisioning charge lower by 14 percent. As at the period end, the Bank’s coverage ratio continues to remain adequate at 83
percent, while the infection ratio stands at 5.4 percent, one of the lowest amongst top tier banks.
Total operating expenses registered an increase of 7 percent, mainly attributable to the Bank’s investment in improving its
technological infrastructure, strategic positioning initiatives, and marketing and brand related spending. The Bank remains
committed to further strengthen its services infrastructure and expand its financial footprint in order to provide world class
banking and financial services to its ever expanding customer base.
Earnings per share for the period were reported at Rs. 3.93 as against Rs. 3.80 for the previous corresponding period, improving
by 3 percent.
As at the period end, the Bank’s total assets were reported at Rs. 870.405 Billion, with net Investments and net Advances
representing 47 percent and 38 percent of the total asset base. Deposits at the period end were reported at Rs. 641.441 Billion,
remaining at a similar level as that of December 2015, while Borrowings declined to Rs. 128.032 Billion as against Rs. 172.393 Billion
at December end. The Bank’s ADR continues to remain at a sound level of 54 percent, one of the best in the industry.
Economic Outlook:
Pakistan’s macroeconomic environment outlook continues to remain positive. The record-high foreign exchange reserves have led
to consistency and stability in the foreign exchange market. However, there remains a risk that the current account deficit may
widen further, mainly on account of declining exports and rising imports. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) related
projects continue to gather momentum, and this bodes well for the economy in general, which is expected to further expand on the
back of improving industrial activity, especially construction and power generation, and rising demand for allied services. What will
support this growth phase, are stable macro conditions that have been shored up by low oil prices, which are expected to remain
supportive for the next several years.
Bank Alfalah                                                                                                                       5
Quarter and Nine Months Report - 30 September 2016
Low interest rates, low import prices, and improved energy availability are expected to further facilitate the manufacturing sector
and improve general business sentiments. The Pakistan Stock Market’s reclassification to the MSCI’s emerging markets index in June
2016 has been a positive step towards boosting investors’ confidence. The consistent improvement to the security and political
environment shall remain key factors in sustaining economic growth. The IBA-SBP Consumer Confidence Survey of September 2016,
indicates an improvement in current and expected economic conditions, and a significant rise in consumer confidence.
Liquidity conditions in the money market have remained comfortable mainly due to retirement of government borrowing to the
scheduled banks. Resultantly, lower volatility has been witnessed in the interbank market, with overnight money market repo rates
remaining close to the policy rate. Stability in market interest rates should also help the upcoming credit cycle for working capital
and fixed investment.
Year-on-year CPI inflation rose to 3.6 percent in August 2016 from 1.8 percent in August 2015, while the average inflation during
the first two months of the current fiscal year was more than double the same period last year. Core inflation during this period
was also higher than the corresponding period last year. For the remaining months of the current fiscal year, we expect higher
inflation than seen in FY16; however, given projections that oil prices will remain soft, we think average inflation will remain below
5 to 6 percent till FY18.
In view of this, the Central Bank kept the policy rate unchanged during the quarter.
While the global growth outlook for 2016 remains subdued, uncertainty is pervasive. The expected interest rate hike by the US Fed,
the economic slowdown in China, the likely changes in the political landscape in Western Europe, and the aftermath of Brexit, will
continue to dominate sentiments in global financial and commodity markets.
Against this backdrop, Pakistan’s economic growth is set to increase further in FY17. The likely impetus should come from rising
investment under PSDP and CPEC; improved energy availability to industry; lagged impact of prudent monetary policy; healthy
private sector credit uptake; and improving law and order situation. The GDP growth target for FY17 stands at 5.7 percent, which is
higher than the growth of 4.7 percent achieved for FY16.
Having said this, banking sector margins shall remain under pressure, given the low interest rate regime. The Bank remains focused
on managing its lending and investment strategy cautiously, with an objective of maximizing shareholder returns.
Credit Rating
The Bank’s credit rating was maintained at ‘AA’ (double A) Entity Rating for the Long Term and A1+ (A one plus) for the Short Term,
by PACRA at June 30, 2016. These ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk, a strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments in the long term and the highest capacity for timely repayment in the short term. The Bank’s outlook has
also been maintained as positive. The unsecured subordinated debt (Term Finance Certificates) of the Bank carries a credit rating
of AA- (double A minus).
Acknowledgments:
On behalf of the Board, I would once again like to thank the State Bank of Pakistan, the Ministry of Finance and other regulatory
authorities for their continuous guidance and support, our shareholders and our valued customers for their counsel and patronage.
I value the dependable and dedicated contribution of our staff, both locally and overseas. With this continued level of promise,
motivation and diligent work, I am sure that the Bank shall be able to achieve new levels of progress in the days to come.

           dated May 12, 2004 and the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial
           Reporting". They do not include all of the information required for the full annual financial statements
           and this unconsolidated condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the
           unconsolidated financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2015.
3 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
     3.1   This unconsolidated condensed interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with
           the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", the provisions
           of Companies Ordinance, 1984, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the directives issued by the
           Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). In case

Bank Alfalah                                                                                                       15
Quarter and Nine Months Report - 30 September 2016
         On January 1, 2016, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) vide BPRD circular No. 1 of 2016 issued ‘Regulations
         for Debt Property Swaps’. These regulations require banks to measure non-banking assets acquired
         in satisfaction of claims at revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation thereon. The valuation of
         properties acquired under this head is to be conducted regularly, by professionally qualified evaluators
         appearing on the approved panel of the 'Pakistan Banks Association', so as to ensure that their net
         carrying value does not materially differ from their fair value. Any surplus arising on revaluation of such
         properties is transferred to the 'surplus on revaluation of fixed assets' account, while any deficit arising
         on revaluation is charged to profit and loss account directly. In addition, all direct costs, including legal
         fees and transfer costs linked with transferring the title of the property to banks is accounted as an
         expense in the profit and loss account. Furthermore, under these regulations, revaluation surplus on
         such assets shall not be admissible for calculating bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and exposure
         limits under the Prudential Regulations. However, the surplus can be adjusted upon realization of sale
         proceeds.
         In line with these regulations, the Bank, effective January 1, 2016 has changed its accounting policy for
         recording of non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims to incorporate the aforementioned
         requirements. Prior to this change in accounting policy, Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of
         claims were carried at cost less impairment, if any. Had the accounting policy not been changed, Non-
         banking assets (included in Other Assets in the statement of financial position) would have been lower
         by Rs. 37.46 million, surplus on revaluation of assets and deferred tax liabilities would have been lower
         by Rs. 24.47 million and Rs. 12.99 million respectively, and profit after tax would have been higher by Rs.
         1.006 million.
         The basis and methods used for critical accounting estimates and judgements adopted in this
         unconsolidated condensed interim financial information are same as those applied in the preparation of
         the annual financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2015.
         The Bank's Financial Risk Management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the
         annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
   7.1   This represents lending to financial institutions at interest rate range from 0.25% to 9.00% per annum
         (December 2015: 0.40% to 12.00% per annum) with maturities upto February 2017 (December 2015:
         November 2016).
   7.2   This represents Bai Muajjal agreements entered into with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), whereby the Bank
         sold Sukuks having carrying value of Rs. 9,875 million on deferred payment basis. The rates of return
         range from 5.69% to 5.97% per annum (December 2015: 5.99% to 8.26%), and these are due to mature
         by March 2017 (December 2015: March 2016).
   7.3   This represents short term lending to financial institutions against investment securities. These carry
         markup rates upto 5.80% per annum (December 2015: NIL) with maturities upto October 2016 (December
         31, 2015: November 2016).

16 TAXATION
         The income tax assessments of the Bank have been finalized upto and including tax year 2015. Matters of
         disagreement exist between the Bank and tax authorities for various assessment years and are pending
         with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue (Appeals), Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR), High Court
         of Sindh and Supreme Court of Pakistan. These issues mainly relate to addition of mark up in suspense
         to income, taxability of profit on government securities, bad debts written off and disallowances relating
         to profit and loss expenses.
         In respect of tax years 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015, the tax authorities have raised certain issues
         including disallowance of expenditure on account of non-deduction of withholding tax, default in
         payment of WWF, allocation of expenses to dividend and capital gains and dividend income from mutual
         funds not being taken under income from business, resulting in additional demand of Rs.1,452.536 million.
         As a result of appeal filed before Commissioner Appeals against these issues, relief has been provided
         for tax amount of Rs.1,023.719 million whereas appeal effect orders are pending. The management's
         appeals on certain issues are pending before Commissioner Appeals. The management is confident that
         this matter will be decided in favour of the Bank and consequently has not made any provision in respect
         of these amounts.
         The Bank has received amended assessment orders for Tax Years from 2010 to 2013 wherein Tax
         Authorities have disallowed depreciation on Ijara Assets considering it Finance Lease and raised a tax
         demand of Rs.990.423 million. As a result of appeal filed before Commissioner Appeal, relief is provided
         to the Bank to the extent of principal amount which is part of Ijarah rentals and should not be taxed.
         Accordingly tax amount is reduced to Rs.96.160 million. The Bank has filed appeal before Appellate
         Tribunal. The Bank has not made any provision against these orders and the management is of the view
         that the matter will be settled in Bank's favour through appellate process.
         In respect of monitoring of withholding taxes, the Bank has received various orders from tax authorities.
         The Bank has not made provision amounting to Rs.510.380 million against tax demand (after reduction on
         rectifications) for tax years 2009 to 2015. The Bank intends to obtain relief through rectification orders.
         The management is of the view that the matter will be settled in Bank's favour.
         The Bank has received an order from a provincial tax authority wherein tax authority has disallowed
         certain exemptions of sales tax on banking services and demanded sales tax and penalty amounting
         to Rs.97.560 million (excluding default surcharge) for the period from July 2011 to June 2014. Bank's
         appeal against this order is currently pending before Commissioner Appeals. The Bank has not made any
         provision against this order and the management is of the view that the matter will be settled in Bank's
         favour through appellate process.

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   2.1   This consolidated condensed interim financial information represents financial information of the
         holding company - Bank Alfalah Limited and its subsidiaries. The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries
         have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis and the investment held by the Bank is eliminated against
         the corresponding share capital of subsidiaries in these consolidated financial statements.
   2.2   In accordance with the directives of the Federal Government regarding the shifting of the banking
         system to Islamic modes, the State Bank of Pakistan has issued various circulars from time to time.
         Permissible form of trade-related modes of financing includes purchase of goods by banks from their
         customers and immediate resale to them at appropriate mark-up in price on deferred payment basis. The
         purchases and sales arising under these arrangements are not reflected in this consolidated condensed
         interim financial information as such, but are restricted to the amount of facility actually utilised and the
         appropriate portion of mark-up thereon.
   2.3   Key financial figures of the Islamic Banking branches of the Bank are disclosed in Annexure I to the
         unconsolidated condensed interim financial information of the Bank.
   2.4   The disclosures made in this consolidated condensed interim financial information have been limited
         based on the format prescribed by the State Bank of Pakistan through BSD Circular Letter No. 2
         dated May 12, 2004 and the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial
         Reporting". They do not include all of the information required for the full annual financial statements
         and this consolidated condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the
         consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2015.

           Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern
           the financial and operating policies of an entity, so as to obtain economic benefits from its activities.
           This consolidated condensed interim financial information incorporates the financial statements of
           subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
           Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the
           financial and operating polices. Associates as well as investment in mutual funds established under trust
           structure (not consolidated as subsidiaries) are accounted for using the equity method.
           Non-controlling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of subsidiaries
           attributable to interest which are not owned by the holding company. Material intra-group balances and
           transactions are eliminated.
3 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
     3.1   This consolidated condensed interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
           requirements of International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", the provisions
           of Companies Ordinance, 1984, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the directives issued by the
           Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). In case the
           requirements differ, provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962
           and the said directives have been followed.
     4.1   The principal accounting policies and the methods of computation adopted in the preparation of this
           consolidated condensed interim financial information are same as those applied in the preparation of
           the financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2015 except for the following:
           On January 1, 2016, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) vide BPRD circular No. 1 of 2016 issued ‘Regulations
           for Debt Property Swaps’. These regulations require banks to measure non-banking assets acquired
           in satisfaction of claims at revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation thereon. The valuation of
           properties acquired under this head is to be conducted regularly, by professionally qualified evaluators
           appearing on the approved panel of the 'Pakistan Banks Association', so as to ensure that their net
           carrying value does not materially differ from their fair value. Any surplus arising on revaluation of such
           properties is transferred to the 'surplus on revaluation of fixed assets' account, while any deficit arising
           on revaluation is charged to profit and loss account directly. In addition, all direct costs, including legal
           fees and transfer costs linked with transferring the title of the property to banks is accounted as an
           expense in the profit and loss account. Furthermore, under these regulations, revaluation surplus on
           such assets shall not be admissible for calculating bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and exposure
           limits under the Prudential Regulations. However, the surplus can be adjusted upon realization of sale
           proceeds.
           In line with these regulations, The Group, effective January 1, 2016 has changed its accounting policy for
           recording of non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims to incorporate the aforementioned
           requirements. Prior to this change in accounting policy, Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of
           claims were carried at cost less impairment, if any. Had the accounting policy not been changed, Non-
           banking assets (included in Other Assets in the statement of financial position) would have been lower
           by Rs. 37.46 million, surplus on revaluation of assets and deferred tax liabilities would have been lower
           by Rs. 24.47 million and Rs. 12.99 million respectively, and profit after tax would have been higher by Rs.
           1.006 million.

16 TAXATION
         The income tax assessments of the Bank have been finalized upto and including tax year 2015. Matters of
         disagreement exist between the Bank and tax authorities for various assessment years and are pending
         with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue (Appeals), Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR), High Court
         of Sindh and Supreme Court of Pakistan. These issues mainly relate to addition of mark up in suspense
         to income, taxability of profit on government securities, bad debts written off and disallowances relating
         to profit and loss expenses.
         In respect of tax years 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015, the tax authorities have raised certain issues
         including disallowance of expenditure on account of non-deduction of withholding tax, default in
         payment of WWF, allocation of expenses to dividend and capital gains and dividend income from mutual
         funds not being taken under income from business, resulting in additional demand of Rs.1,452.536 million.
         As a result of appeal filed before Commissioner Appeals against these issues, relief has been provided
         for tax amount of Rs.1,023.719 million whereas appeal effect orders are pending. The management's
         appeals on certain issues are pending before Commissioner Appeals. The management is confident that
         this matter will be decided in favour of the Bank and consequently has not made any provision in respect
         of these amounts.
         The Bank has received amended assessment orders for Tax Years from 2010 to 2013 wherein Tax
         Authorities have disallowed depreciation on Ijara Assets considering it Finance Lease and raised a tax
         demand of Rs.990.423 million. As a result of appeal filed before Commissioner Appeal, relief is provided
         to the Bank to the extent of principal amount which is part of Ijarah rentals and should not be taxed.
         Accordingly tax amount is reduced to Rs.96.160 million. The Bank has filed appeal before Appellate
         Tribunal. The Bank has not made any provision against these orders and the management is of the view
         that the matter will be settled in Bank's favour through appellate process.
         In respect of monitoring of withholding taxes, the Bank has received various orders from tax authorities.
         The Bank has not made provision amounting to Rs.510.380 million against tax demand (after reduction on
         rectifications) for tax years 2009 to 2015. The Bank intends to obtain relief through rectification orders.
         The management is of the view that the matter will be settled in Bank's favour.
         The Bank has received an order from a provincial tax authority wherein tax authority has disallowed
         certain exemptions of sales tax on banking services and demanded sales tax and penalty amounting
         to Rs.97.560 million (excluding default surcharge) for the period from July 2011 to June 2014. Bank's
         appeal against this order is currently pending before Commissioner Appeals. The Bank has not made any
         provision against this order and the management is of the view that the matter will be settled in Bank's
         favour through appellate process.
