2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared under historical cost basis convention except for the measurement at fair value

requirements of AAOIFI, for matters which are not covered by AAOIFI and other directives, the Window uses the
relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FAS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.6 Contracts with customers (continued)
Qard Hassan
A non-profit bearing loan enables the borrower to use the borrowed amounts for a specific period of time, at the end
of which the same borrowed amounts would be repaid free of any charges of profits.
2.7 Investments
Investments comprise of debt type instruments carried at amortised cost, equity type instruments carried at fair value
through equity and equity type instruments carried at fair value through statement of income.
All investments, are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given including acquisition
charges associated with the investment, except in the case of investments carried at fair value through statement of
income.
Debt type instruments carried at amortised cost (Applicable to 2017)
Investments which have fixed or determinable payments and where the Window has both the intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as debt type instruments carried at amortised cost. Such investments are carried at
amortised cost, less provision for impairment in value. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any
premium or discount on acquisition. Any gain or loss on such instruments is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income when the instruments are de-recognised or impaired.
Debt instruments at FVTE (IFRS 9: FVOCI) (policy applicable from 1 January 2018)
The Window applies the new category under IFRS 9 of debt instruments measured at FVTE when both of the
following conditions are met:
- The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets
- The contractual terms of the financial asset meet the SPPI test
For debt securities measured at FVTE, gains and losses are recognised in equity and upon sale realized through Profit
and Loss.
When debt security measured at FVTE is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in fair
value reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Equity type instruments carried at fair value through equity (Applicable to 2017)
Subsequent to acquisition, equity type instruments are remeasured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses
recognised in a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or the investment is determined to
be impaired. On derecognition or impairment, the cumulative gain or loss previously recorded in equity is recognised
in the statement of comprehensive income for the year.
Impairment losses on equity type instruments carried at fair value through equity are not reversed through the
statement of comprehensive income and increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in
owners’ equity.
Equity instruments at FVTE (IFRS 9:FVOCI) (Policy applicable from 1 January 2018)
Upon initial recognition, the Window occasionally elects to classify irrevocably some of its equity investments as
equity instruments at FVTE when they meet the definition of definition of Equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments:
Presentation and are not held for trading. Such classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Investments (continued)
Gains and losses on these equity instruments are never recycled to profit. Dividends are recognised in profit or loss
as other operating income when the right of the payment has been established, except when the Window benefits
from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the instrument, in which case, such gains are recorded in
equity. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment.
Equity type instruments carried at fair value through statement of income (Applicable to 2017)
These are subsequently re-measured at fair value. All related realised and unrealised gains or losses are included in
the statement of comprehensive income.
2.8 Property and equipment
Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation on the assets is calculated using the straight-
line basis to allocate their cost over the estimated useful lives, as follows:
2.8 Property and equipment (continued)
Years
Buildings 25
Computer equipment 5
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 5
Motor vehicles 5
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether they are recorded in
excess of their recoverable amount, and where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount, assets are written
down to their recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by
reference to their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining operating profit. Repairs and renewals
are charged to the statement of comprehensive income when the expense is incurred. Subsequent expenditure is
capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property and equipment. All
other expenditure is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense as incurred.
2.9 Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise computer softwares and licenses acquired by the Window and are stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The intangible assets are amortised on a
straight-line basis over 5 years, being the estimated useful life of the assets.
2.10 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised where:
- the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
- the Window retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in
full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or
- the Window has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
AL YUSR – ISLAMIC BANKING WINDOW

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
When the Window has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the
extent of the Window’s continuing involvement in the asset.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
2.11 Identification and measurement of impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Window reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of
the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of net
selling price and value in use.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset
is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in the statement of
comprehensive income.
2.12 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial
position when there is a legal or religious enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and Window intends to
either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.13 Fair values
Fair value is determined for each financial asset individually in accordance with the valuation policies set out below:
(i) For investments that are traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to the quoted
market bid prices prevailing on the statement of financial position date.
(ii) For unquoted investments, fair value is determined by reference to recent significant buy or sell transactions with
third parties that are either completed or are in progress. Where no recent significant transactions have been completed
or are in progress, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of similar investments. For others,
the fair value is based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows, or other relevant valuation methods.
(iii) For investments that have fixed or determinable cash flows, fair value is based on the net present value of
estimated future cash flows determined by the Window using current profit rates for investments with similar terms
and risk characteristics.
(iv) Investments which cannot be remeasured to fair value using any of the above techniques are carried at cost, less
accumulated impairment, if any.
2.14 End of service benefits
Contributions to a defined contribution retirement plan, for Omani employees, in accordance with the Oman Social
Insurance Scheme, are recognised as expense in the statement of income when accrued. Window’s obligation in
respect of non-Omani terminal benefits, which is an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan, is the amount of future
benefit that such employees have earned in return for their service in current and prior periods. This amount is accrued
and recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.15 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when Window has a present obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event and
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. 2.16 Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Rial Omani at exchange rates ruling at the value dates of the
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Rial Omani at
exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on
translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on
change in fair value of the item.
2.17 Income recognition
Murabaha
Where the income is quantifiable and contractually determined at the commencement of the contract, income is
recognised on a time-apportioned basis over the period of the contract based on the principal amounts outstanding.
Accrual of income is suspended when the Window believes that the recovery of these amounts may be doubtful.
Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek
Ijarah income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis, net of depreciation, over the Ijarah term. Accrual of income
is suspended when the Window believes that the recovery of these amounts may be doubtful.
Musharaka
Income on Musharaka contracts is recognised when the right to receive payment is established or on distribution by
the partner (Musharek).
Wakalah
Estimated income from Wakalah is recognised on an accrual basis over the period, adjusted by actual income when
received. Losses are accounted for on the date of declaration by the agent.
Windows’s share as a Mudarib
The Window’s share as a Mudarib for managing the equity of investment account holders is accrued based on the
terms and conditions of the related Mudaraba agreements whereas, for off balance sheet equity of investment account
holders, Mudarib share is recognised when distributed.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.17 Income recognition (continued)
Fees and commission income
Fees and commission income is recognised when earned. Commission on letters of credit and letters of guarantee are
recognised as income over the period of the transaction.
Fees for structuring and arrangement of financing transactions for and on behalf of other parties are recognised when
the Window has fulfilled all its obligations in connection with the related transaction.
2.18 Income from investment
Income from investments at amortised cost is recognised on a time-proportionate basis based on underlying rate of
return. Dividend income is recognised when the Al Yusr’s right to receive the payment is established.
2.19 Return on equity of investment account holders
Investor’s share of income is calculated based on income generated from joint investment accounts after deducting
profit equalisation reserve, the Window’s share as Mudarib and investment risk reserve. The investors' share of
income is distributed to the investors based on average participation balance in the Mudaraba pool.
2.20 Profit equalisation reserve
Profit equalisation reserve is the amount appropriated by the Window out of return on equity of investment account
holders and is utilised to maintain suitable and competitive return to investors in case of certain unanticipated
extraordinary circumstances depressing the return.
2.21 Investment risk reserve
Investment risk reserve is the amount appropriated by the Window out of return on equity of investment account
holders after allocating profit equalization reserve and the Window’s share as Mudarib, in order to cushion the effects
of the risk of future investment losses.
The terms and conditions whereby investment risk reserve can be set aside and utilized are determined and approved
by the Shari’a Supervisory Board of the Bank.
2.22 Earnings prohibited by Shari’a
The Window is committed to avoid recognising any income generated from non-Islamic sources. Accordingly, all
non-Islamic income is transferred to charity.
2.23 Taxation
Al Yusr is Islamic Banking Window of the Bank, hence it is not taxable on a stand-alone basis as per prevailing tax
law basis. Accordingly, no current and deferred tax has been accounted for in these financial statements.
Taxation is calculated and paid by the Bank on an overall basis.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.24 Zakah
In accordance with the instructions of the Shari’a Supervisory Board of the Bank, payment of Zakah is the responsibility of the investment account holders. Accordingly, no Zakah has been charged to these financial statements.
2.25 Joint and self-financed
Assets that are jointly owned by Window and the equity of investment account holders are classified under the caption
"jointly financed" in the financial statements. Assets that are financed solely by Window, if any, are classified under
"self-financed".
2.26 Trade date accounting
All “regular way” purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Window
commits to purchase or sell the asset.
2.27 Commingling of funds
The funds of Window are not commingled with the funds of conventional operations of the Bank.
2.28 Shari’a supervisory board
The Window’s business activities are subject to the supervision of a Shari’a Supervisory Board consisting of three
members appointed by the general assembly.
2.29 IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
The Window has adopted IFRS 9 as issued by the IASB in July 2014 with a date of transition of 1 January 2018,
which resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts previously recognised in the financial
statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2017.
As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Window elected not to restate comparative figures. Any
adjustments to the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities at the date of transition were recognised in the
opening retained earnings and the opening balance of fair value reserve of the current period.
The adoption of IFRS 9 has resulted in changes in the accounting policies for recognition, classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 also significantly
amends other standards dealing with financial instruments such as IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”.
The CBO has issued guidelines relating to implementation of IFRS 9. The relevant requirements relating to transition
are set out below:
- Should the existing loan loss impairment computed in accordance with the requirements of IAS 39 and CBO
guidelines be higher than the impairment allowance computed under IFRS 9, the related difference (net of
tax) be transferred to a loan loss impairment reserve from retained earnings as of 1 January 2018.
- In the subsequent years, where the allowance for loan loss impairment computed in accordance with CBO
requirements is higher than the allowance for loan loss impairment loss computed under IFRS 9, the
difference (net of tax) should be transferred to the aforementioned loan loss impairment reserve from
retained earnings. The related impairment reserve will not be available for dividend distribution or for
inclusion in the regulatory capital. Any subsequent utilisation of the impairment reserve would require prior
approval of the CBO.
Difference between provisions held as per IFRS 9 and the CBO norms is not recognised as impairment reserve, as
the Window is not a separate legal entity and the requirement is assessed at overall Bank basis.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.29 IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments(continued)
Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as
described below:
- Comparative periods have not been restated. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and
financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognised in retained earnings and reserves as
at 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not reflect the requirements of
IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presented for 2018 under IFRS 9.
- The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the
date of initial application.
a) The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.
b) The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial
liabilities as measured at FVTPL
c) The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVTE (IFRS 9:
FVOCI).
If a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Window has assumed that
credit risk on the asset had not increased significantly since its initial recognition.
The key changes to the Window’s accounting policies resulting from its adoption of IFRS 9 are summarised below:
2.29.1 Classification of financial assets
From 1 January 2018, the Window has applied IFRS 9 and classifies its financial assets in the following measurement
categories:
a) Fair value through equity (FVTE) which is IFRS 9: FVOCI; or
b) Amortised cost.
c) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at
FVTPL:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows;
and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and profit.
A debt instrument is measured at FVTE only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at
FVTPL:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets; and
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and profit.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Window may irrevocably elect to present
subsequent changes in fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. All other
financial assets are classified as measured at FVTPL.
In addition, on initial recognition, the Window may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the
requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVTE as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces
an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.29.2 Business model assessment
The Window makes an assessment of the objective of a business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level
because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The
information considered includes:
a) The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In
particular, whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual profits, maintaining a particular
profit rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of the liabilities that are
funding those assets or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
b) How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Window’s management;
c) the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that
business model) and how those risks are managed;
d) how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of
the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
e) The frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and its expectations
about future sales activity. However, information about sales activity is not considered in isolation, but as
part of an overall assessment of how the Window’s stated objective for managing the financial assets is
achieved and how cash flows are realised.
The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking 'worst case' or 'stress case’
scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial recognition are realised in a way that is different from the Window's
original expectations, the Window does not change the classification of the remaining financial assets held in that
business model, but incorporates such information when assessing newly originated or newly purchased financial assets
going forward.
Financial assets that are held for trading or managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are
measured at FVTPL because they are neither held to collect contractual cash flows nor held both to collect contractual
cash flows and to sell financial assets.
2.29.3 Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profits (‘SPPP’)
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit, the Window considers the
contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that
could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making the
assessment, the Window considers:
a) contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows;
b) leverage features;
c) prepayment and extension terms;
d) terms that limit the Window’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse asset
arrangements); and
e) features that modify the profit rates based on the given circumstances.
Contractual terms that introduce a more than de minimis exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that
are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and profit on the amount outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at FVPL.
2.29.3 Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profits (‘SPPP’)
Investment securities
The ‘investments’ caption in the statement of financial position includes:
a) debt investment securities measured at amortised cost; these are initially measured at fair value plus
incremental direct transaction costs, and subsequently at their amortised cost using the effective profit
method;
b) equity investment securities designated as at FVTE.

2.29.3 Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profits (‘SPPP’)
Investment securities (continued) The Window elects to present in OCI changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
Gains and losses on such equity instruments are never reclassified to profit or loss and no impairment is recognised in
profit or loss. Dividends are recognised in profit or loss unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment, in which case they are recognised in fair value reserve. Cumulative gains and losses recognised in fair value
reserve are transferred to retained earnings on disposal of an investment.
2.29.4 Reclassifications
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Window changes
its business model for managing financial assets.
2.29.5 Impairment
Policies applicable from 01 January 2018
The Window recognises loss allowances for ECL on the following financial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL:
a) financial assets that are debt instruments;
b) financial guarantee contracts issued; and
c) financing commitments issued.
No impairment loss is recognised on equity investments. The Window measures loss allowances at an amount equal to
lifetime ECL, except for the following, for which they are measured as 12-month ECL:
a) debt investment securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
b) other financial instruments (other than lease receivables) on which credit risk has not increased significantly
since their initial recognition.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Window assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt financial assets
carried at FVTE are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset
is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
a) significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
b) a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;
c) the restructuring of a financing or advance by the Window on the terms that the Window would not consider
otherwise;
d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
e) the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
A financing that has been renegotiated due to a deterioration in the borrower’s condition is usually considered to be
credit-impaired unless there is evidence that the risk of not receiving contractual cash flows has reduced significantly
and there are no other indicators of impairment. In addition, a retail financing exposure that is overdue for 90 days or
more is considered impaired.

2.29.5 Impairment(continued)
Credit-impaired financial assets In making an assessment of whether an investment in sovereign debt is credit-impaired, the Window considers the
following factors.
a) The market’s assessment of creditworthiness as reflected in the Sukuk yields.
b) The rating agencies’ assessments of creditworthiness.
c) The country’s ability to access the capital markets for new debt issuance.
d) The probability of debt being restructured, resulting in holders suffering losses through voluntary or mandatory
debt forgiveness.
e) The international support mechanisms in place to provide the necessary support as ‘lender of last resort’ to that
country, as well as the intention, reflected in public statements, of governments and agencies to use those
mechanisms. This includes an assessment of the depth of those mechanisms and, irrespective of the political
intent, whether there is the capacity to fulfil the required criteria.
Calculation of expected credit loss (ECL)
Changes to the assumptions and estimate on uncertainties that have a significant impact on ECL for the year ended 31
December 2018 pertain to the changes introduced as a result of adoption of IFRS 9: Financial instruments. The impact
is mainly driven by inputs, assumptions and techniques used for ECL calculation under IFRS 9 methodology.
Inputs, assumptions and techniques used for ECL calculation – IFRS 9 Methodology
Key concepts in IFRS 9 that have the most significant impact and require a high level of judgment, as considered by the
Window while determining the impact assessment, are:
Assessment of Significant Increase in Credit Risk
The assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is done on a relative basis. To assess whether the credit risk on a
financial asset has increased significantly since origination, the Window compares the risk of default occurring over the
expected life of the financial asset at the reporting date to the corresponding risk of default at origination, using key risk
indicators that are used in the Window’s existing risk management processes.
Macroeconomic Factors, Forward Looking Information (FLI) and Multiple Scenarios
The measurement of ECL for each stage and the assessment of significant increases in credit risk considers information
about past events and current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and economic
conditions. The estimation and application of forward-looking information requires significant judgment.
Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure At Default (EAD) inputs used to estimate Stage
1 and Stage 2 credit loss allowances are modelled based on the macroeconomic variables (or changes in macroeconomic
variables), that are closely correlated with credit losses in the relevant portfolio.
Definition of default
The definition of default used in the measurement of ECL and the assessment to determine movement between stages is
consistent with the definition of default used for internal credit risk management purposes. IFRS 9 does not define
default, but contains a rebuttable presumption that default has occurred when an exposure is greater than 90 days past
due.
Expected life
When measuring ECL, the Window must consider the maximum contractual period over which the Window is
exposed to credit risk. All applicable contractual terms are considered when determining the expected life, including
prepayment options and extension and rollover options. For certain revolving credit facilities that do not have a fixed
maturity, the expected life is estimated based on the period over which the Window is exposed to credit risk and
where the credit losses would not be mitigated by management actions.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.29.5 Impairment(continued)
Overview of the ECL principles
The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Window’s financing loss impairment method by replacing
incurred loss approach with a forward-looking ECL approach. From 1 January 2018, the Window has been recording
the allowance for expected credit losses for all financing exposure and other debt financial assets not held at FVPL,
together with financing commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Equity instruments are not subject to
impairment under IFRS 9.
The ECL allowance is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset (the lifetime expected
credit loss (LTECL), unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the
allowance is based on the 12 months’ expected credit loss (12-month ECL).
The 12-month ECL is the portion of LTECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
Both LTECLs and 12mECLs are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis, depending on the nature
of the underlying portfolio of financial instruments.
The Window has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a
financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, by considering the change in
the risk of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument.
Based on the above process, the Window groups its financing exposure into Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3, as described
below:
Stage 1
When financing are first recognised, the Window recognises an allowance based on 12 month ECLs. Stage 1
financing exposure also include facilities where the credit risk has improved and the financing exposure has been
reclassified from Stage 2. The Window considers the local currency exposures with Government of Oman or CBO
as low credit risk.
Stage 2
When a financing exposure has shown a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the Window records an
allowance for the LTECLs. Stage 2 financing exposure also include facilities, where the credit risk has improved and
the financing exposure has been reclassified from Stage 3.
Stage 3
Financing exposure considered credit-impaired. The Window records an allowance for the LTECLs.
At initial recognition of a financial asset, the Window recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit
losses. After initial recognition, the three stages under the proposals would be applied as follows:
Stage 1
Credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition – recognise 12-month expected credit losses
Stage 2
Credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition – recognise lifetime expected losses (this is recognising
a provision earlier than under IAS 39 Financial assets: Recognition and Measurement) with revenue being calculated
based on the gross amount of the asset
Stage 3
There is objective evidence of impairment as at the reporting date to recognise lifetime expected losses, with revenue
being based on the net amount of the asset (that is, based on the impaired amount of the asset).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.29.5 Impairment(continued)
Purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) assets are financial assets that are credit impaired on initial
recognition. POCI assets are recorded at fair value at original recognition and profit is subsequently recognised based
on a credit-adjusted effective profit rate (EPR). ECLs are only recognised or released to the extent that there is a
subsequent change in the expected credit losses.
For financial assets for which the Window has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding
amount, or a proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a
(partial) derecognition of the financial asset.
The calculation of ECLs
The Window calculates ECLs based on a two probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls,
discounted at an approximation to the EPR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to
an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
- PD – The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A
default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously
derecognised and is still in the portfolio.
- EAD – The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account
expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and profit,
whether scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued profit
from missed payments.
LGD - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It
is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Bank would expect to receive,
including from the realisation of any collateral, if any. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The
Window has applied a LGD of 0% on Government Sukuk issued by Government of Oman which are classified as
investments under amortised cost.

2.31 New standards, amendments and interpretations
There are no new standards issued by AAOIFI during the year which may impact the financial statements of the Bank.
Standard issued but not yet effective
FAS 28 Murabaha and Other Deferred Payment Sales
AAOIFI has issued FAS 28 Murabaha and Other Deferred Payment Sales in 2017. FAS 28 supersedes the earlier FAS
No. 2 "Murabaha and Murabaha to the Purchase Orderer" and FAS No. 20 "Deferred Payment Sale". The objective
of this standard is to prescribe the appropriate accounting and reporting principles for recognition, measurement and
disclosures in relation to Murabaha and other deferred payment sales transactions for the sellers and buyers, for such
transactions. This standard shall be effective for the financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with early
adoption permitted.
The Window is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
FAS 31 Investment Agency (Al-Wakala Bi Al-lstithmar)
AAOIFI has issued FAS 31 Investment Agency (Al-Wakala Bi Al-lstithmar) in 2018. The objective of this standard
is to establish the principles of accounting and financial reporting for the investment agency (Al-Wakala Bi Al-
Istithmar) instruments and the related assets and obligations from both the principal (investor) and the agent
perspectives. This standard shall be effective for the financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 with early
adoption permitted. The Window is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
FAS 35 Risk Reserves
AAOIFI has issued FAS 35 “Risk Reserves” in 2018. This standard along with FAS 30 ‘Impairment, Credit losses
and onerous commitments’ supersede the earlier FAS 11 “Provisions and reserves”.
The objective of this standard is to establish the principles of accounting and financial reporting for risk reserves
established to mitigate various risks faced by stakeholders, mainly the profit and loss taking investors, of Islamic
financial institutions (IFIs/ the institutions). This standard shall be effective for the financial periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2021 with early adoption permitted only if the Group early adopts FAS 30 “Impairment, Credit losses
and onerous commitments”.
The Bank is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
FAS 30 Impairment, Credit losses and onerous commitments
In November 2017, the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) issued
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 30 - Impairment, credit losses and onerous commitments, the standard
supersedes the earlier FAS 11 “Provisions and Reserves” effective from the financial periods beginning on or after 1
January 2020, with early adoption permitted.
However, during the year 2017, the CBO has issued a circular BM 1149 dated 13 April 2017 governing
implementation of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) for all the banks, which also apply to Islamic
banks/windows subject to any specific instructions by the Central Bank for Islamic Banking entities on IFRS 9 if, as
and when instructions are issued.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.31 New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)
FAS 30 Impairment, Credit losses and onerous commitments (continued)
The Window adopted IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 and did not restate the comparative information in accordance with
relevant requirements of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and
introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, a new
model based on expected credit losses for recognising loan loss provisions more closely with risk management
methodology.
The key changes to the bank’s accounting policies resulting from its adoption of IFRS 9 are summarised below.
(i) Classification and measurement
IFRS 9 contains classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in
which financial assets are managed and the underlying cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 contains three principal
classification categories for financial assets: (a) measured at Amortised Cost (AC), Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) and Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL). Under IFRS 9, derivatives
embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument
as a whole is assessed for classification.
(ii) Expected credit losses
IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The
new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, except for investments
in equity instruments. A number of significant judgements are also required in applying the accounting requirements
for measuring ECL, such as:
Determining criteria for significant increase in credit risk (SICR);
Choosing appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL;
Establishing the number and relative weightings of forward-looking scenarios for each type of
product/market and the associated ECL; and
Establishing groups of similar financial assets for the purposes of measuring ECL.
The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has issued guidelines relating to implementation of IFRS 9. The relevant
requirements relating to transition are set out below:
Should the existing financing loss impairment computed in accordance with the requirements of
IAS 39 and CBO guidelines be higher than the impairment allowance computed under IFRS 9, the
related difference (net of tax) be transferred to a financing loss impairment reserve from retained
earnings as of 1 January 2018.
ln the subsequent years, where the allowance for financing loss impairment computed in accordance
with CBO requirements is higher than the allowance for financing loss impairment loss computed
under IFRS 9, the difference (net of tax) should be transferred to the aforementioned financing loss
impairment reserve from retained earnings.
The related impairment reserve will not be available for dividend distribution or for inclusion in the
regulatory capital. Any subsequent utilisation of the impairment reserve would require prior
approval of the CBO.
(iii) Financial liabilities
Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward
unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own
credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.
As IFRS 9 does not change the general principles of how an entity accounts for effective hedges, the Bank does not
expect a significant impact as a result of applying IFRS 9.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies
The preparation of the Window’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The most significant uses of judgments and
estimates are as follows:
Impairment provisions against financing contracts with customers (applicable to 2017)
Window reviews its financing contracts at each reporting date to assess whether an impairment provision should be
recorded in the financial statements. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the
amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of provision required. Such estimates are based
on assumptions about factors involving varying degrees of judgments and uncertainty. Actual results may differ due
to changes in the underlying facts.
In addition to specific provisions against individually significant financing contracts, Window also makes a collective
impairment provision against exposures which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific provision,
have a greater risk of default than when originally granted. This takes into consideration, factors such as any
deterioration in country risk, industry, and technological obsolescence, as well as identified structural weaknesses or
deterioration in cash flows.
Impairment losses on financial assets (applicable to 2018 only)
The measurement of impairment losses under IFRS 9 across all categories of financial assets requires judgement, in
particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining
impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by number of
factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances.
The Window's ECL calculations are outputs of complex models with number of underlying assumptions regarding
the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting
judgements and estimates include:
- The Window's internal credit grading model
- The Window's criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and so
allowances for financial assets should be measured on a Lifetime Expected Credit Losses (LTECL)
basis and the qualitative assessment
- The segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective basis
- Development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of inputs
- Determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and, economic inputs, such as
unemployment levels and collateral values, and the effect on Probability of Default (PD), Exposure
At Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD)
- Selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive
the economic inputs into the ECL models.
Classification of financial assets (applicable to 2018 only)
Classification of financial assets in the appropriate category depends upon the business model and SPPI test.
Determining the appropriate business model and assessing whether the cash flows generated by the financial asset
meet the SPPI test is complex and requires significant judgements by management. The Window applies judgement
while carrying out SPPI test and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is
denominated, and the period for which the interest rate is set.
Classification of investments (applicable to 2017)
Management decides on acquisition of a financial asset whether it should be classified as equity type instrument
carried at fair value through equity, equity type instrument carried at fair through statement of comprehensive income
or debt type instrument carried at amortised cost.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies(continued)
Fair valuation of investments (applicable to 2017 and 2018)
The determination of fair values of unquoted investments requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that may affect the reported amount of assets at the date of the financial statements. The valuation of such investments
is based on the fair value criteria explained in note 2.13.
Nonetheless, the actual amount that is realised in a future transaction may differ from the current estimate of fair
value and may still be outside management estimates, given the inherent uncertainty surrounding valuation of
unquoted investments.

On 20 June 2017, the CBO issued a circular in relation to the reserve requirements for restructured accounts. In
accordance with the circular, a reserve should be computed at 10% for 2017 and 15% for 2018 on accounts, which
were restructured after issuance of the circular. Accordingly, the Window has transferred an amount of RO 26
thousand (2017: RO 52 thousand) to special reserve. The Central Bank of Oman has abolished the creation of special
reserve on financing contracts restructured after the November 2018.

17. Contingencies and commitments
The Window is a party to financial instrument with off-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to
meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include standby letters of credit, financial
guarantees to third parties, commitments to extend credit and others. The Window’s exposure to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the other party to such financial instruments is represented by the contract value or the
notional amount of the instrument. However, generally the credit risk on these transactions is lower than the contract
value or the notional amount.
The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities and therefore these
transactions are subject to the same credit organisation, portfolio maintenance and collateral requirements for
customers applying for loans and advances.
The outstanding contract value or the notional amounts of these instruments at 31 December were as follows:
2018 2017
RO’000 RO’000
Guarantees 40,756 14,848

At the reporting date, outstanding undrawn portion of financing contracts with customers amounted to RO 10,463

The allowances for credit losses for commitments and financial guarantees is included under note 6.

25. Risk management
Introduction
Risk is inherent in the Window’s activities but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement
and monitoring of material risks. The Window manages its exposure to risks within the approved risk limits. The
process of risk management is critical to the Window’s continuing profitability and each business unit within the
Window is accountable for the risk exposures relating to its responsibilities. The Window is mainly exposed to credit
risk, liquidity risk and market risk, the latter being subdivided into trading and non-trading risks. The Window is also
subject to operational risk.
The independent risk control process does not include business risks such as changes in the environment, technology
and industry. These are monitored through the Window’s strategic planning process.
Risk management structure
The Board of Directors of the Window is ultimately responsible for identifying and controlling risks; however, there
are the Window’s board committees responsible for managing and monitoring risks.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of the Window is accountable to the shareholders of the Window. The Board’s specific
responsibilities include:
- ensuring our business is conducted ethically and transparently;
- providing strategic direction and approving corporate strategies;
- ensuring maintenance of adequate risk management controls and reporting mechanisms;
- monitoring management and financial performance
- reviewing and approving the Window’s financial reports;
- approving the business plan and budgets;
- selecting and evaluating the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and senior management;
- planning for executive succession; and
Board Executive Committee
The Board Executive Committee:
- reviews and approves policies with regard to credit risk limits and controls;
- reviews and approves credit facilities above the executive management’s approval limits;
- reviews and approves expenses or capital expenditures above executive management’s approval limits; and
- considers matters of special importance as delegated by the Board.
Board Audit and Risk Management Committee
The Board Audit and Risk Management Committee oversees all matters concerning:
- integrity of the financial statements;
- compliance with legal and regulatory requirement;
- ensuring that the Window has an effective risk management system and clear policies and procedures for reporting,
taking action and documenting breaches of laws including fraud and theft;
- reviewing and recommending risk management policies and controls to Board;
- review and recommendation to the Board the terms of engagement of our external auditors; and
- performance of the internal audit function.
Shari’a Supervisory Board
The Window’s Shari’a Supervisory Board is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the Window’s adherence to
Shari’a rules and principles in its transactions and activities.

25. Risk management
Introduction (continued)
Risk Management Department
The Risk Management Department is responsible for implementing and maintaining risk related procedures to ensure
an independent control process. The department is also responsible for the independent control of risks, including
monitoring the risk of exposures against limits and the assessment of risks of new products and structured transactions.
This department also ensures the complete capture of the risks in risk measurement and reporting systems and
performs stress tests on the various portfolios of the Window.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment made with
the Window. It arises from financing, trade finance, treasury and other activities undertaken by the Window. The
Window has put in place standards, policies and procedures for the control and monitoring of all such risks.
Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities or
activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentration
of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of the Window’s performance to developments affecting a particular
industry or geographical location.
The Window seeks to manage its credit risks exposure through diversification of financing activities to avoid undue
concentrations of risks with individuals or groups of customers in specific businesses. It also obtains adequate
collateral/security when appropriate.
With the recent adoption of IFRS 9 standards, credit risk management has been enhanced further where more
attributes have been taken into consideration, including but not limited, identifying existing emerging key risks related
to industry, economics, transaction structure, terms and condition of the payments etc in assessment of ECL.
Incorporating forward looking information increases the level of judgement as to how changes in these
macroeconomic factors will affect the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) applicable to the stage 1 and stage 2 exposures
which are considered as performing. The methodologies and assumptions involved, including any forecasts of future
economic conditions, are reviewed periodically. The assessment of significant increase in credit risk and the
calculation of ECL both incorporate forward-looking information.
The following tables set out the key drivers of expected loss and the assumptions used for the Window’s base case
estimate, ECLs based on the base case, plus the effect of the use of multiple economic scenarios as at 31 December
2018.

As with any economic forecasts, the projections and likelihoods of occurrence are subject to a high degree of inherent
uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Window considers
these forecasts to represent its best estimate of the possible outcomes and has analysed the non-linearities and
asymmetries within the Window’s different portfolios to establish that the chosen scenarios are appropriately
representative of the range of possible scenarios. 'Other forward-looking considerations not otherwise incorporated
within the above scenarios, such as the impact of any regulatory, legislative or political changes, have also been
considered, but are not deemed to have a material impact and therefore no adjustment has been made to the ECL for
such factors. This is reviewed and monitored for appropriateness on a quarterly basis.
The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position.
The maximum exposure is shown gross, before the effect of mitigation through the use of master netting and collateral

Collateral and other credit enhancements
The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines
are implemented regarding the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters. The main types of
collateral obtained by the Window are as follows:
- For corporate financing: lien over investment accounts, charges over real estate properties, inventory, plant and
equipment, trade and rent receivables, Shari’a compliant equities and other assets; and
- For retail and consumer financing: assignment of salary and terminal benefits and mortgages over the related assets.
The Window also obtains personal guarantees from companies owners for corporate financing. Management monitors
the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and
monitors the market value of collateral obtained periodically during its review of the adequacy of the allowance for
impairment losses.

It is the Window’s policy to maintain accurate and consistent risk ratings across the credit portfolio. This facilitates
focused management of the applicable risks and the comparison of credit exposures across all lines of business,
geographical regions and products. The rating system is supported by a variety of financial analytics, combined with
processed market information to provide the main inputs for the measurement of counterparty risk. All internal risk
ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Window’s rating policy. The
attributable risk ratings are assessed and updated regularly for corporate customers.

Impairment assessment (Applicable to 2017)
Impairment provisions are recognised for financial reporting purposes only for losses that have been incurred at the
statement of financial position date based on objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence that a financial
asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Window about the loss
events such as delays in repayment of contracted amounts by counterparties as well as considering the guidelines
issued by the CBO.
Individually assessed provisions (Applicable to 2017)
The Window’s credit policy requires the review of individual financial assets on a regular basis or when individual
circumstances require. Impairment provision on individually assessed accounts are determined by an evaluation of
the incurred loss at the statement of financial position date on a case-by-case basis, and are applied to all individually
significant financing contracts. The assessment normally encompasses collateral held (including re-confirmation of
its enforceability) and the anticipated receipts for that individual financing contract.
Collectively assessed provisions (Applicable to 2017)
Collectively assessed provision is provided for: (i) portfolios of homogenous assets that are individually not
significant; and (ii) losses that have been incurred but have not yet been identified, by using the available historical
experience, experienced judgment and peer statistics.
Liquidity risk and funding management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Window will be unable to meet its funding requirements. Liquidity risk arises from
fluctuations in cash flows due to market disruptions or credit downgrades, which may cause certain sources of
funding to cease immediately.

Liquidity risk and funding management (continued)
The liquidity position is assessed under a variety of scenarios, giving due consideration to stress factors relating to
both the market in general and specifically to the Window. The Window maintains limits on the ratio of net liquid
assets to customer liabilities, set to reflect market conditions. Net liquid assets consist of cash, short-term Window
deposits and liquid securities available for immediate sale less deposits for Windows and other issued Shari’a
compliant securities and financings due to mature within the next three months. Minimum ratios of liquid assets to
customer deposits are established and monitored regularly.
The Window manages the liquidity risk based on estimated maturities using the guidelines provided by the Central
Window of Oman for the estimates. The table below represents liabilities payable by the Window based on estimated

Contingent liabilities and commitments
These include commitments to enter into contracts which are designed to meet the requirements of the Window’s
customers. Commitments represent contractual commitments under Murabaha, Musharaka and Ijarah Muntahia
Bittamleek contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, or other termination clauses. Since
commitments may expire without being exercised, the total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
flow requirements.
Letters of credit and guarantees (including standby letters of credit) commit the Window to make payments on behalf
of customers contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform under the terms of the contract.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in
market variables such foreign exchange rates, and equity prices. The Window manages and monitors the positions
using sensitivity analysis. Market risk includes currency risk, profit rate risk and other price risk.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange
rates. The Window takes exposure to the effect of fluctuation in prevailing foreign currency exchange rate on its
financial position. The Window has a set of limits on the level of currency exposure, which are monitored on regular
basis.

Operational risk
Operational risk refers to the loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events.
The Window endeavours to minimize operational losses by ensuring that effective infrastructure, controls, systems
and individuals are in place throughout the organization. Regulatory, legal and reputation risks are controlled through
a set of internal policies and procedures. External legal advice is obtained from lawyers to confirm legal and regulatory
requirements, wherever required.
Other risk
Other risks to which the Window is exposed are regulatory risk, legal risk and reputation risk.
Regulatory risk is controlled through a framework of compliance policies and procedures. Legal risk is managed
through the effective use of internal and external legal advisers. Reputation risk is controlled through the regular
examination of issues that are considered to have reputation repercussions for Al Yusr, with guidelines and policies
being issued as appropriate.
26. Capital management
The primary objectives of the Window’s capital management are to ensure that the Window complies with externally
imposed capital requirements and that the Window maintains healthy capital ratios in order to support its business
and to maximise shareholders’ value.
The Window manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions
and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Window may adjust
the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue capital securities.
