Economic Review
Global economic growth outlook remains sluggish, amidst continued trade friction between US and China, uncertainty surrounding
Brexit, weaker investment flows and stagnant consumer demand in both advanced and emerging markets. Accordingly, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised global growth projections further downwards by 0.1% to 3.2% for 2019.
On the domestic front; the Large-Scale Manufacturing (LSM) sector contracted by 3.5% during the first 11 months of FY 2018-19
primarily on the back of cut in PSDP outlay, tightening in monetary policy, currency depreciation and imposition of regulatory measures.
Agriculture sector’s performance also remained subdued, with an insignificant growth of 0.85% during FY 2018-19, on account of
adverse water supplies and high input costs. Services sector while posting a growth of 4.7% during FY 2018-19, also remained well-
below 6.2% growth level achieved in FY 2017-18.
Consequently, domestic GDP growth rate has declined to 3.3% during the FY 2018-19 as per expectations, against 5.8% in FY 2017-
18. This is in line with the GoP’s multi-faceted policies adopted to address the underlying economic imbalances emanating from rising
inflationary pressures and twin deficits.
Notwithstanding the country’s export volumes which remained subdued during the period under review, the aforementioned policy
measures including 17.5% devaluation in PKR assisted in reducing country’s import bill by 9%. Duly supplemented by 10% growth
in workers remittances, the country’s external front improved with a sizeable 32% reduction in current account (CA) deficit; which still
remained significant at US$ 13.6 billion compared to US$ 19.9 billion for FY 2017-18.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) also remained under pressure, declining by 50% during the FY 2018-19, primarily due to uncertainty
regarding exchange rate adjustments, increasing external financing risk and a weakening fiscal position. However, external financing
from bilateral and multilateral agencies including IMF, assisted in supporting the dwindling reserves; which stood at US$ 14.5 billion as
at end June’19 against US$ 13.8 billion in Dec’18, reflecting a growth of 5.1%.
The country’s fiscal deficit remained at an alarming level of 7% of GDP, owing to shortfall in revenue collections, higher debt servicing
costs, untargeted subsidies and loss-making Public-Sector Enterprises (PSE’s).
The GoP’s action plan to curtail pressures on twin deficits and boost revenue generation through imposition of additional taxes and
tariff revisions along with lagged impact of PKR depreciation adversely impacted Consumer Price Index (CPI), which has surged to
7.3% on a year on year (YoY) basis.
This CPI, despite being the highest in last five years, is in fact expected to touch double digits in FY 2019-20. State Bank of Pakistan,
therefore, continued with its monetary tightening stance through further increasing the policy rate by 150 bps and 100 bps in May 2019
and July 2019 respectively. As a result, policy rate has increased to 13.25% against 10% at the beginning of 2019.
Financial Review
Banking sector continues to face significant ramifications stemming from prevailing economic circumstances. Increase in interest rates
started benefiting in NIM growth but re-pricing lag between earning assets and remunerative liabilities is still squeezing the margins.
Cost of doing business has witnessed increasing trend due to rising compliance costs including deposit protection insurance costs,
implementation of new International Reporting Standards and above all higher super tax imposition.
Allied Bank Limited 5
While remaining cognizant of the above-mentioned challenges, Your Bank prudently managed the economic capital to attain quality
growth in the Balance Sheet. Consistent growth in low and no costs deposits and superior assets quality, supported by a pragmatic
strategy governing optimum organizational structure, multi-dimensional risk management framework, investments towards digital
transformation and effective compliance controls facilitated Your Bank in posting sustainable financial performance during the period
under review.
The positive volumetric growth in average earning assets supplemented by gradually increasing Balance Sheet spreads enabled
Your Bank to post Net interest income (NII) of Rs. 18,733 million; representing a healthy growth of 19% from the comparative period.
Diversification of revenue streams through continuous enrichment of Your Bank’s product suite along with concurrent focus on
upholding high service standards enabled Your Bank to post a 12% growth in fee income which stood at Rs. 2,522 million.
Capitalizing on opportunities in the interbank FX market through prudent positioning of Banks foreign exchange (FX) assets and
liabilities, income from dealing in foreign currencies posted a significant growth of 86%, closing the period under review at Rs. 1,257
million as compared to Rs. 674 million in the corresponding period.
Prudently anticipating the aforementioned interest rate hikes, Your Bank’s timely divestment of fixed income portfolio mitigated risk of
any significant mark to market losses. Further, active participation as Primary Dealer (PD) resulted in realization of capital gains of Rs.
386 million. This superior PD performance was also recognized by SBP, as Your Bank was ranked the No. 1 PD in the market during
the FY 2018-19.
Resultantly, non-markup income aggregated to Rs. 5,328 million for the period under review, as against Rs. 6,555 million in the
corresponding period of 2018.
Contributing towards SBP’s Financial Inclusion agenda, Your Bank took concrete measures through augmentation of digital and
conventional banking services. Branch outreach expanded to 1,345 branches. ATM network also increased to a total of 1,447 ATM’s
inclusive of 1,135 on-site and 312 off-site ATM’s.
Upon attaining a reasonable footprint of 117 Islamic Banking branches, sustained focus on further promoting Islamic Banking amongst
a vast potential customer base was also maintained with the addition of 50 “Islamic Windows” at viable conventional branches.
Centralization and automation of operations assisted Your Bank to restrict increase in non-markup expenses. However, the operating
cost has witnessed an increase of 15.8% due to significant currency devaluation, higher compliance related regulatory charges,
aforementioned network expansion, continuous augmentation of technology infrastructure and above all incurring additional expense
of Rs 469 million on account of deposit protection charge levied effective from third quarter 2018.
During the period under review Your Bank also offered voluntary lump sum settlement against pension and commutation to in-service
management grade eligible employees attaining superannuation on or after 1st January 2020. Voluntary exercise of this option led to
an additional charge of Rs. 130 million; excluding deposit protection and voluntary pension costs the increase in operating expenses
comes down to 10.4%.
During the period under review, Your Bank adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 16 - “Leases”, which has
introduced the concept of recognizing right of use (RoU) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Balance Sheet of the lessee.
Resultantly, implicit interest expense amortized on lease liabilities led to an additional charge of Rs. 486 million; thereby impacting Your
Bank’s NII. Whereas, reversal of rental expense netted off against incremental depreciation charged on RoU assets led to a net decline
of Rs. 77 million in the operating expenses.
Your Bank’s profit before provisions during the period under review stood at Rs. 10,810 million. However, barring the aforementioned
net additional impact of Rs. 409 million booked under IFRS-16, deposit protection cost charge of Rs. 469 million and voluntary lump
sum settlement against pension of Rs. 130 million, business as usual profit before provisions increases to Rs. 11,818 million compared
to Rs 10,790 million earned in the comparative period; representing a growth of 9.5%.
Proactive monitoring and recovery efforts led to a net provision reversal against non-performing loans (NPL’s) and investments
aggregating to Rs. 289 million for the period under review. No FSV benefit has been taken while determining the provision against
non-performing advances as allowed under guidelines of the State Bank of Pakistan.
Profit after current years’ taxation stood at Rs. 6,921 million. Incremental super tax levy for the tax year 2018, led to an additional
charge of Rs. 835 million which was booked in the Q1 2019. Resultantly, despite the aforementioned significant challenges, Your Bank
posted a stable Profit after tax of Rs. 6,086 million during the period under review.
In view of the above developments, EPS of Your Bank stood at Rs. 5.31 per share. Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA)
also stood at a strong level of 14% and 0.9% respectively.
Your Bank, while adopting a prudent approach amidst the rising credit risks; capitalized upon its robust risk management framework to
close the gross Advances at Rs. 459,500 million at end June’ 19. Overall industry advances growth also remained subdued with just
3% growth from December 2018 against growth of 13% registered in the comparative period.
Proactive adoption of appropriate risk management measures has also resulted in improved infection and coverage ratios which were
recorded at 3.4% and 99% respectively at the close of June’19, against 3.7% and 97% respectively as at end of December 2018;
significantly outperforming the March’ 19 industry ratios of 8.2% and 84% respectively as well.
Remaining fully cognizant of the evolving business dynamics, total borrowings were reduced to 10% of total assets which stood at Rs.
1,319,942 million as at June 30, 2019.
Accumulation of no and low-cost Deposits remained a key objective of Your Bank during the period under review. Thereby, non-
remunerative Deposits grew by 8% against December 2018 to close at Rs. 392,502 million; constituting 38% of Total Deposits mix of
Your Bank as at end of June 2019. Your Bank’s Total Deposits also grew by 5% from December 2018 end to close at Rs. 1,028,989
million.
Your Bank maintained its healthy Equity base, which closed at Rs. 107,608 million at the end of June 2019. Capital adequacy ratio
of Your Bank also stood at robust level of 21.5% against the statutory requirement of 11.9%; which is reflective of the strong capital
positioning of Your Bank.
6 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
Director’s Review
Future Outlook
The Country’s real GDP growth is projected to remain bearish in the short term, at around 3.5% in FY 2019-20 by the SBP; which is
well below the country’s potential. Higher interest rates and administered price adjustments will continue to constrain credit growth,
disposable incomes and domestic consumption levels.
However, a gradual increase in public development spending, improved fiscal consolidation through broad based revenue mobilization
strategies, implementation of the envisaged governance and structural reforms to strengthen institutional frameworks along with
rebound in Agriculture and LSM sectors are essential to provide much needed impetus to the economy and investor confidence going
forward.
Improved market sentiments due to sanctioning of the IMF’s program-based lending, are also expected to facilitate in enhanced access
to international financial support from other multilateral and bilateral creditors which shall be crucial for the country in meeting its future
external financing needs.
However, continuous strengthening of the country’s AML/CFT regime for implementing measures stipulated under FATF’s action plan to
support the eventual exit from FATF’s ‘grey list’ remains a key challenge towards management of the aforementioned external threats.
The banking sector outlook remains challenging, amidst crucial global operating and regulatory conditions, re-pricing risks under
rising interest rate scenario, evolving customer experience dynamics, weak credit expansion and a dearth of quality lending avenues.
During the period under review, Your Bank’s sustained focus on the long term multi-pronged strategy, driven towards optimizing
risks, inculcating efficiencies, continuous augmentation of the innovative technology platforms, persistent expansion in customers
touchpoints and delivery channels including digital and conventional outreach facilitated in creating a strong platform; enabling the
Bank to post sustainable growth in the aforementioned challenging and competitive environment going forward.
Allied ‘Visa Premium Debit Card’, launched during the period, facilitated Your Bank’s valued customers in carrying out Point of Sale
(POS) and cash withdrawal transactions with enhanced per day limits and a host of domestic and global features offered by Visa
exclusively to Signature Card customers, while initiation of 3-D secure services on all ABL Visa debit and credit cards further improved
customer confidence in online shopping while minimizing risk of fraud.
Your Bank has also entered into an agreement with 1-Link for issuance of first ever ‘PayPak- Union Pay International’ (UPI) co-badged
debit cards, with a view to facilitate customers seeking both international and domestic spending convenience.
Capitalizing on its extensive technological infrastructure, Your Bank kept pace with the transforming landscape through upgrade of
‘myABL Digital banking’ app using top of the line Oracle Digital Banking Experience (OBDx) platform; designed exclusively to enable
customers to seamlessly perform financial transactions.
A key initiative of Your Bank for 2019 also includes the planned launch of Branchless banking services. Mobile wallets under the
branchless banking shall provide public at large with convenient options including instant account opening along with facilitating
payments through mobile devices.
Going forward, broad based digitization and transformation through adoption of cutting-edge technologies, geared towards delivering
customer centric user experience from all delivery channels, shall remain at the forefront of the Your Bank’s key strategic goals.
Entity Rating
Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) maintained Bank’s Long-Term and Short-Term Ratings to the highest level of “AAA” (Triple A)
and “A1+” (A One Plus) respectively. These ratings denote exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
with lowest expectation of credit risk. Your Bank consolidated its position as one of the only select group of financial institutions in the
country to maintain highest entity credit ratings.

Based on our review. nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial
statements is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting and reporting standards as applicable in
Pakistan for interim financial reporting.

on Deposits’ (IFAS-3) issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and
notified by the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), vide their SRO No.
571 of 2013 dated June 12, 2013 for institutions offering Islamic Financial Services (IIFS). The
standard will result in certain new disclosures in the financial statements of the Bank.
2.1.6 These unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information
and disclosures required in the audited annual unconsolidated financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the audited annual unconsolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2018.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these unconsolidated
condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparing the audited annual
unconsolidated financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for those
disclosed in note 3.3 below:
The Bank has adopted IFRS 15 ‘ Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ from
January 01, 2019. The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are
explained in note 3.3 below. A number of other new standards are effective from January 01, 2019 but
they do not have a material effect on the Bank’s unconolidated condensed interim financial statements.

3.2 Standards, interpretations of and amendments to accounting and reporting standards that are not
yet effective
The following standards, amendments and interpretations of accounting and reporting standards as
applicable in Pakistan will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 01, 2020:
- On March 29, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) has issued a
revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting which is applicable immediately and
contains changes that will set a new direction for IFRS in the future. The Conceptual Framework
primarily serves as a tool for the IASB to develop standards and to assist the IFRS Interpretations
Committee in interpreting them. It does not override the requirements of individual IFRSs and any
inconsistencies with the revised Framework will be subject to the usual due process – this means
that the overall impact on standard setting may take some time to crystallise. The companies may
use the Framework as a reference for selecting their accounting policies in the absence of specific
IFRS requirements. In these cases, companies should review those policies and apply the new
guidance retrospectively as of January 01, 2020, unless the new guidance contains specific scope
outs.
The Bank has adopted IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ from
January 01, 2019.
The details of new significant accounting policies adopted and the nature and effect of the changes
from previous accounting policies are set out below:
IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee
recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease
liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. As a result, the Bank, as a lessee,
has recognized right of use of assets representing its right to use the underlying assets and
lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition
exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains
similar to the current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating
leases.
The Bank has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach as at January 01,
2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated i.e.
it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations. The details of
changes in accounting policies are disclosed below:
As a lessee
As a lessee, the Bank previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on
its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Bank now recognizes right of use assets and lease liabilities for material leases i.e. these
leases are on balance sheet.
22 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
The Bank presents right-of-use assets in ‘Fixed Assets’, as a separate line item with the same
classification of underlying assets of the same nature that it owns.
The Bank recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost which comprise the initial amount of
the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date,
plus any initial direct costs incurred and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The right to use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of useful life of the right of use asset or the
end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right of use asset are determined the
same as those of ‘Fixed Assets’. In addition, the right of use asset is periodically reduced by
impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Right
of use asset is disclosed in the ‘Fixed Assets’ as referred in Note 12 to these unconsolidated
condensed interim financial statements.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if
that rate cannot be readily determined i.e. the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate. The Bank
has used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently
increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It
is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in rate
or a change in the terms of the lease arrangement.
The Bank has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in
which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Bank is
reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects
the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.
Transition
Previously, the Bank classified property leases as operating leases under IAS 17. These
leases typically run for 3-9 years. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an
additional period after the end of the contracted period.
At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, lease liabilities were
measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Bank’s
incremental borrowing rate as at January 01, 2019. Right of use asset are measured at an
amount equal to the lease liability adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments.
The Bank used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously
classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with
less than 12 months of lease term.
- Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application.
- Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to
extend or terminate the lease.
Allied Bank Limited 23
As a result of applying IFRS 16, in relation to leases previously classified as operating leases, the Bank
has recognised Rs. 203.8 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities during the period ended
June 30, 2019.
Also in relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Bank has recognised depreciation and mark-up/
return/interest expense, instead of operating lease rentals. During the six months ended June 30,
2019, the Bank recognised Rs. 789.4 million of depreciation charges and Rs. 486 million of mark-up/
return/interest expense on these leases. There was a decrease in rent and registration charges of Rs.
866.4 million during the period. Tax expense has also decreased by Rs. 159.51 million due to above
mentioned changes.
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue
is recognized. It replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations.
Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods or services.
Determining the timing of the transfer of control at a point in time or over time requires judgement.
The Bank has adopted IFRS 15 on January 01, 2019 retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 without
practical expedient. The timing or amount of the Bank’s income from contract with customers was
not impacted by IFRS 15. The application of IFRS 15 has no impact on the financial position and/
or financial performance of the Bank. Accordingly, there was no adjustment in retained earnings on
application of IFRS 15 as at January 01, 2019.
The basis for accounting estimates adopted in the preparation of these unconsolidated condensed interim
financial statements are the same as that applied in the preparation of the audited annual unconsolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 except for as disclosed in note 3.3.
5. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
These unconsolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention except for the following which are stated at revalued amounts / fair values / present values:
- Investments;
- Certain fixed assets including RoU assets and corresponding lease liability;
- Staff retirement and other benefits;
- Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims; and
- Derivative financial instruments.
The financial risk management objectives and policies adopted by the Bank are consistent with those
disclosed in the audited annual unconsolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

23.3.2 The income tax assessments of the Bank have been finalized upto and including tax year 2018 for local,
Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan operations. While finalizing income tax assessments upto tax year 2018,
income tax authorities made certain add backs with aggregate tax impact of Rs.25,587 million (December
31, 2018: 24,332 million). As a result of appeals filed by the Bank before appellate authorities, most of the
add backs have been deleted. However, the Bank and Tax Department are in appeals / references before
higher forums against unfavorable decisions. Pending finalization of appeals / references no provision has
been made by the Bank on aggregate sum of Rs.25,587 million (December 31, 2018: 24,332 million). The
management is confident that the outcome of these appeals / references will be in favor of the Bank.
Tax Authorities have conducted proceedings of withholding tax audit under section 161/205 of Income
Tax Ordinance, 2001 for tax year 2003 to 2006 and tax year 2008 to 2018 and created an arbitrary
demand of Rs. 1,700 million (December 31, 2018: 1,536 million). The Bank’s appeals before CIR(A)/
Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) are pending for adjudication. The management is confident that
these appeals will be decided in favor of the Bank; therefore, no provision has been made against the said
demand of Rs. 1,700 million (December 31, 2018: 1,536 million).
Tax authorities have also issued orders under Federal Excise Act, 2005 / Sales Tax Act, 1990 and Sindh
Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 for the year 2008 to 2017 thereby creating arbitrary aggregate demand
of Rs. 963 million (December 31, 2018: 900 million). The Bank’s appeals before CIR(A)/Appellate Tribunal
Inland Revenue (ATIR) are pending for adjudication. The management is confident that aforesaid demand
will be deleted by appellate authorities and therefore no provision has been made against the said demand
of Rs. 963 million (December 31, 2018: 900 million).
23.3.3 As a result of default by Fateh Textile Mills in complying with the terms of compromise decree passed in
August 2002 by the Honourable High Court of Sindh, 16,376,106 shares of ABL were sold in accordance
with section 19 (3) of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, after complying
with the due and complete transparent process. Sealed bids were invited from interested parties. The
bidding process was scheduled for July 23, 2004 and Rs. 25 per share was fixed reserve price. On the
bid date, the highest offer for these shares was received at a rate of Rs. 25.51 per share. The bid was
approved and the successful bidder had deposited an amount of Rs. 417.75 million with the Bank.
Fateh Textile Mills Limited filed suit in the High Court of Sindh challenging the above sale of shares.
The High Court had not granted a stay order against the said sale. The sale of shares was, therefore;
concluded.
23.3.4 While adjudicating foreign exchange repatriation cases of exporter namely: Fateh Textile Mills Limited,
the Foreign Exchange Adjudicating Court (FEAC) of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has arbitrarily
adjudicated penalties against various banks including Rs. 2,173 million in aggregate against Allied Bank
Limited (the Bank). Against the said judgments, the Bank had filed appeals before the Appellate Board and
Constitutional Petitions (CP) in the High Court of Sindh, Karachi. The Honorable High Court granted relief
to the Bank by way of interim orders. Meanwhile, alongwith other banks, Bank filed a further CP whereby
vires of section 23C of the FE Regulations Act, 1947 was sought to be declared ultra vires. On November
8, 2018, the Honorable court was pleased to order that the Appellate Board shall not finally decide the
appeals. Subsequently, the earlier CPs were disposed of vide order dated 15.01.2019 with a direction to
36 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
the Appellate Board to first decide the stay application of the Bank and till then, the Foreign Exchange
Regulation Department has been restrained from taking any coercive action against the Bank. Based on
merits of the appeals, the management is confident that these appeals shall be decided in favor of the
Bank and therefore no provision has been made against the impugned penalty.

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of holding company and its subsidiary
company for half year ended June 30, 2019.
The disclosures made in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are based on the format
prescribed by the SBP vide BPRD Circular Letter No. 05, dated March 22, 2019 and the requirements
of the International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (IAS 34). Accordingly, certain
corresponding figures have been re-arranged/ re-classified to reflect more appropriate presentation.
56 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
The financial results of the Islamic banking branches have been consolidated in these consolidated condensed
interim financial statements for reporting purposes, after eliminating inter-branch transactions / balances. Key
financial figures of the Islamic banking branches are disclosed in Note 39 to unconsolidated condensed
interim financial statements of the bank.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been presented in Pakistan Rupees (PKR),
which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates and functional
currency of the bank, in that environment as well. The amounts are rounded to nearest thousand.
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting
standards comprise of:
- Islamic Financial Accounting Standards (IFAS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
Pakistan as are notified under the Companies Act, 2017;
- Provisions of and directives issued under the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the
Companies Act, 2017; and
- Directives issued by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
2.1.1 Whenever the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, the Companies Act,
2017 or the directives issued by the SBP and the SECP differ with the requirements of IFRS and
IFAS, the requirements of Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, the Companies Act, 2017 and
the said directives, shall prevail.
2.1.2 The SBP, vide BSD Circular Letter No. 10, dated August 26, 2002 has deferred the applicability
of International Accounting Standard 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’
(IAS 39) and International Accounting Standard 40 ‘Investment Property’ (IAS 40) for banking
companies till further instructions. Further, according to a notification of SECP dated April 28,
2008, International Financial Reporting Standard 7 ‘Financial Instruments Disclosure’ (IFRS
7), has not been made applicable for banks. Accordingly, the requirements of these standards
have not been considered in the preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial
statements. However, investments have been classified and disclosed in accordance with the
requirements prescribed by SBP through various circulars.
IFRS 9 has been globally adopted from January 01, 2018. The standard addresses recognition,
classification, measurement and derecognition of financial instruments. The standard stipulates
a paradigm shift from incurred loss model to expected credit loss model (ECL). The prudential
regulations currently allow provisioning against bad debts on the incurred loss model. The ECL
will have an impact on all assets of the Bank which are exposed to credit risk.
However, SBP vide correspondence dated July 23, 2019 has directed the banks that IFRS 9
shall not be applied for the period ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, with respect to domestic
operations, the Bank has not adopted IFRS 9 for these consolidated condensed interim
financial statements.
However, IFRS 9 has been adopted for overseas branch as per requirement of respective
regulatory regime and has resulted in additional Expected credit loss provisioning requirements
of Rs. 25.7 million.
Allied Bank Limited 57
2.1.4 The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide SRO 56 (1) / 2016 dated
January 28, 2016, has notified that the requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standard 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ (IFRS 10) and section 228 of the Companies
Act, 2017 will not be applicable with respect to the investment in mutual funds established

2.1.5 The State Bank of Pakistan through BPRD Circular No. 04 of 2015 dated February 25, 2015
has deferred applicability of Islamic Financial Accounting Standard 3 ‘Profit & Loss Sharing on
Deposits’ (IFAS-3) issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and notified by
the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), vide their SRO No. 571 of 2013
dated June 12, 2013 for institutions offering Islamic Financial Services (IIFS). The standard will
result in certain new disclosures in the financial statements of the Bank.
2.1.6 These consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information
and disclosures required in the audited annual consolidated financial statements, and should be
read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these consolidated
condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparing the audited annual
consolidated financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for those
disclosed in note 3.3 below:
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 ‘ Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ from
January 01, 2019. The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are
explained in note 3.3 below. A number of other new standards are effective from January 01, 2019 but
they do not have a material effect on the Bank’s conolidated condensed interim financial statements.
The following standards, amendments and interpretations of accounting and reporting standards as
applicable in Pakistan will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 01, 2020:
- On March 29, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) has issued a
revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting which is applicable immediately and
contains changes that will set a new direction for IFRS in the future. The Conceptual Framework
primarily serves as a tool for the IASB to develop standards and to assist the IFRS Interpretations
Committee in interpreting them. It does not override the requirements of individual IFRSs and any
inconsistencies with the revised Framework will be subject to the usual due process – this means
that the overall impact on standard setting may take some time to crystallise. The companies may
use the Framework as a reference for selecting their accounting policies in the absence of specific
IFRS requirements. In these cases, companies should review those policies and apply the new
guidance retrospectively as of January 01, 2020, unless the new guidance contains specific
scope outs.
58 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
The Bank has adopted IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ from
January 01, 2019.
The details of new significant accounting policies adopted and the nature and effect of the changes
from previous accounting policies are set out below:
IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee
recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease
liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. As a result, the Bank, as a lessee,
has recognized right of use of assets representing its right to use the underlying assets and lease
liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions
for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the
current standard i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.
The Bank has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach as at January 01,
2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated i.e.
it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations. The details of
changes in accounting policies are disclosed below:
As a lessee
As a lessee, the Bank previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on
its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Bank now recognizes right of use assets and lease liabilities for material leases i.e. these
leases are on balance sheet.
The Bank presents right-of-use assets in ‘Fixed Assets’, as a separate line item with the same
classification of underlying assets of the same nature that it owns.
The Bank recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost which comprise the initial amount of
the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date,
plus any initial direct costs incurred and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The right to use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of useful life of the right of use asset or the
end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right of use asset are determined the
same as those of ‘Fixed Assets’. In addition, the right of use asset is periodically reduced by
impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Right
of use asset is disclosed in the ‘Fixed Assets’ as referred in Note 12 to these consolidated
condensed interim financial statements.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if
that rate cannot be readily determined i.e. the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate. The Bank
has used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently
increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It
Allied Bank Limited 59
is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in rate
or a change in the terms of the lease arrangement.
The Bank has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in
which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Bank is
reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects
the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.
Transition
Previously, the Bank classified property leases as operating leases under IAS 17. These
leases typically run for 3-9 years. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an
additional period after the end of the contracted period.
At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, lease liabilities were
measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Bank’s
incremental borrowing rate as at January 01, 2019. Right of use asset are measured at an
amount equal to the lease liability adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments.
The Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously
classified as operating leases under IAS 17.
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with
less than 12 months of lease term.
- Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application.
- Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to
extend or terminate the lease.
As a result of applying IFRS 16, in relation to leases previously classified as operating leases, the Bank
has recognised Rs. 203.8 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities during the period ended
June 30, 2019.
Also in relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and mark-up/
return/interest expense, instead of operating lease rentals. During the six months ended June 30,
2019, the Group recognised Rs. 789.4 million of depreciation charges and Rs. 486 million of mark-up/
return/interest expense on these leases. There was a decrease in rent and registration charges of Rs.
866.4 million during the period. Tax expense has also decreased by Rs. 159.51 million due to above
mentioned changes.
60 Half Yearly Report – June 2019
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when
revenue is recognized. It replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related
interpretations. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the
goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control at a point in time or over
time requires judgement.
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 on January 01, 2019 retrospectively in accordance with
IAS 8 without practical expedient. The timing or amount of the Group’s income from contract
with customers was not impacted by IFRS 15. The application of IFRS 15 has no impact on
the financial position and/or financial performance of the Group. Accordingly, there was no
adjustment in retained earnings on application of IFRS 15 as at January 01, 2019.
The basis for accounting estimates adopted in the preparation of these consolidated condensed interim
financial statements are the same as that applied in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 except for as disclosed in note 3.3.
5 BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention except for the following which are stated at revalued amounts / fair values / present values:
- Investments;
- Certain fixed assets including RoU assets and corresponding lease liability;
- Staff retirement and other benefits;

- Derivative financial instruments.
The financial risk management objectives and policies adopted by the Bank are consistent with those
disclosed in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

23.3.2 The income tax assessments of the Group have been finalized up to and including tax year 2018 for local,
Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan operations. While finalizing income tax assessments up to tax year 2018,
income tax authorities made certain add backs with aggregate tax impact of Rs.25,599 million (December
31, 2018: Rs.24,344 million). As a result of appeals filed by the Group before appellate authorities, most of
the add backs have been deleted. However, the Group and Tax Department are in appeals / references
before higher forums against unfavorable decisions. Pending finalization of appeals / references no
provision has been made by the Group on aggregate sum of Rs.25,599 million (December 31, 2018:
Rs.24,344 million). The management is confident that the outcome of these appeals / references will be in
favor of the Group.
Tax Authorities have conducted proceedings of withholding tax audit under section 161/205 of Income
Tax Ordinance, 2001 for tax year 2003 to 2006 and tax year 2008 to 2018 and created an arbitrary
demand of Rs.1,720 million (December 31, 2018: Rs.1,556 million). The Group’s appeals before CIR(A)/
Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) are pending for adjudication. The management is confident that
these appeals will be decided in favor of the Group; therefore, no provision has been made against the
said demand of Rs.1,720 million (December 31, 2018: Rs.1,556 million).
Tax authorities have also issued orders under Federal Excise Act, 2005 / Sales Tax Act, 1990 and Sindh
Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 for the year 2008 to 2017 thereby creating arbitrary aggregate demand of
Rs.963 million (December 31, 2018: Rs.900 million). The Group’s appeals before CIR(A)/Appellate Tribunal
Inland Revenue (ATIR) are pending for adjudication. The management is confident that aforesaid demand
will be deleted by appellate authorities and therefore no provision has been made against the said demand
of Rs.963 million (December 31, 2018: Rs.900 million).
23.3.3 As a result of default by Fateh Textile Mills in complying with the terms of compromise decree passed in
August 2002 by the Honourable High Court of Sindh, 16,376,106 shares of ABL were sold in accordance
with section 19 (3) of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, after complying
with the due and complete transparent process. Sealed bids were invited from interested parties. The
bidding process was scheduled for July 23, 2004 and Rs. 25 per share was fixed reserve price. On the
bid date, the highest offer for these shares was received at a rate of Rs. 25.51 per share. The bid was
approved and the successful bidder had deposited an amount of Rs. 417.75 million with the Bank.
Fateh Textile Mills Limited filed suit in the High Court of Sindh challenging the above sale of shares.
The High Court had not granted a stay order against the said sale. The sale of shares was, therefore;
concluded.
23.3.4 While adjudicating foreign exchange repatriation cases of exporter namely: Fateh Textile Mills Limited,
the Foreign Exchange Adjudicating Court (FEAC) of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has arbitrarily
adjudicated penalties against various banks including Rs. 2,173 million in aggregate against Allied Bank
Limited (the Bank). Against the said judgments, the Bank had filed appeals before the Appellate Board and
Constitutional Petitions (CP) in the High Court of Sindh, Karachi. The Honorable High Court granted relief
to the Bank by way of interim orders. Meanwhile, alongwith other banks, Bank filed a further CP whereby
vires of section 23C of the FE Regulations Act, 1947 was sought to be declared ultra vires. On November
8, 2018, the Honorable court was pleased to order that the Appellate Board shall not finally decide the
Allied Bank Limited 73
appeals. Subsequently, the earlier CPs were disposed of vide order dated 15.01.2019 with a direction to
the Appellate Board to first decide the stay application of the Bank and till then, the Foreign Exchange
Regulation Department has been restrained from taking any coercive action against the Bank. Based on
merits of the appeals, the management is confident that these appeals shall be decided in favor of the
Bank and therefore no provision has been made against the impugned penalty.
