These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank s management. We conducted our review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards applicable to review engagements. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with Accounting Standards for Commercial Banks issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency and with International Accounting Standards. We draw attention to the fact that we were not engaged to review the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Bank as of March 31, 2000 or for the three month period then ended. Accordingly, we are unable to, and do not, express any opinion on the financial position as of March 31, 2000 or of the results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders equity of the Bank for the three month period then ended.

SAUDI AMERICAN BANK Page 6 (SAUDI JOINT STOCK COMPANY) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are set out below: a) Basis of presentation Saudi American Bank (the Bank ) follows Accounting Standards for Commercial Banks issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) and International Accounting Standards. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 Interim Financial Reporting, also comply with the Banking Control Law and the Regulations for Companies of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. b) Changes in accounting policies With the exception of matters noted below, the accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. Implementation of IAS 39 Effective January 1, 2001, the Bank implemented IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This has resulted in the following principal changes to the accounting policies of the Bank in respect of recognition and measurement of certain financial instruments: i) Derivative financial instruments The Bank has recognised, for the first time, the fair value of all derivative financial instruments in its balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at their fair values. Changes in fair values relating to cash flow hedges have been taken to the fair value/cash flow hedges adjustment account, while all opening fair value adjustments have been made against retained earnings on January 1, 2001. ii) Non-derivative financial instruments Effective January 1, 2001, the Bank reclassified its investments as originated debt securities or available for sale securities and re-measured to fair value those classified as available for sale. Changes in fair values relating to available for sale securities and the adjustment relating to the re-measurement of the available for sale securities on January 1, 2001 to fair value have been taken to the fair value/cash flow hedges adjustment account. In addition, impaired loans and advances are now stated at the net present value of estimated future cash flows by reference to their original commission rates. The adjustment relating to impaired loans and advances on January 1, 2001 was taken to retained earnings.
SAUDI AMERICAN BANK Page 7 (SAUDI JOINT STOCK COMPANY) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) iii) Comparative amounts In accordance with the transitional provisions of IAS 39, the Bank has not restated comparative amounts.

Previously, these were included in other assets and other liabilities. Comparative amounts have been restated to reflect this change in accounting policy. c) Reclassification Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. 2.
