Chairman's statement 
 
The Bank's financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2009 has 
continued to be impacted by the challenging economic environment. The UK was in 
recession for the majority of 2009, negatively impacting the housing market, 
unemployment, disposable incomes and market yields. In addition, there has been 
increased regulatory focus on minimum liquidity and capital adequacy 
requirements. 
Despite the difficult conditions, the past twelve months have seen strong growth 
in both customer finance assets and customer deposits. 
 
Highlights 
·              Customer financing increased by 97% to GBP46.2m 
·              Deposits increased by 18% to GBP186.6m 
·              Customer numbers increased by 6% to just under 50,000 
·              Launch of 12, 18 and 24 month term deposits 
·              Enhancements to the Home Purchase Plan product range 
·              Winner of Global Finance Best UK Islamic Financial Institution 
2009 award 
 
Current environment and trading performance 
The major impact of the ongoing market conditions has been to reduce the Bank's 
revenues throughout the year. 
A significant source of revenue for the Bank is the return earned from investing 
customer deposits on the Islamic interbank market. Yields in the interbank 
markets declined during the first half of 2009 and have since remained at 
historic low levels, resulting in a reduction in operating income to GBP1.6m 
(2008: GBP4.9m) and a loss for the year of GBP9.5m (2008: GBP5.9m). 
The directors implemented specific actions during the year to mitigate the 
decline in revenues. These included growth in higher yielding customer finance 
assets and achieving cost reductions through operational efficiencies that 
regrettably involved a number of redundancies at the Bank's head office at the 
end of 2009. These actions have continued in 2010. 
 
Products 
The Home Purchase Plan ("HPP") product achieved strong growth, resulting in a 
near 100% increase in the Bank's customer finance assets. The HPP range was 
expanded during the year with a fixed rental product and a product adapted for 
the Scottish market. It is also pleasing to note that this new business was 
achieved in accordance with prudent credit policies, with currently no arrears 
within the HPP and commercial property finance portfolios. 
The Bank continues to use retail deposits to fund all customer finance assets 
and has no reliance on wholesale funding. Growth in longer-term savings products 
was achieved during the year with the launch of a wider range of term deposits 
in July 2009 and continued growth in the Notice Savings account launched in the 
prior year. 
 
Capital 
As noted in the Interim Report, the Bank raised new capital of GBP7.5m via a 
placing of new shares in January 2009. While the Bank continues to have 
sufficient capital for its current requirements, the Board is in ongoing 
discussions with its advisors and interested parties regarding the raising of 
additional capital to support planned future growth. If additional capital is 
not raised, the Bank will need to scale back its growth plans and operations 
during 2010 in order to ensure that regulatory capital requirements continue to 
be achieved. 
 
 
Outlook 
The challenging market conditions look set to persist into 2010 and the 
directors and management will continue to identify opportunities to mitigate the 
adverse effects. We will maintain tight cost control and focus on growth in low 
risk secured customer finance assets funded by longer-term savings deposits. 
 
Finally, I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to Islamic Bank of 
Britain's customers, employees, Sharia Supervisory Committee scholars and 
shareholders for their continued support and commitment to the Bank.

Directors' report 
 
The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2009. 
 
Principal activities 
Islamic Bank of Britain PLC (the 'Company' or the 'Bank') is the only 
independent Islamic retail bank in the United Kingdom established and managed on 
a wholly Sharia compliant basis. 
The Bank offers a range of Sharia compliant banking solutions for both 
individual and business customers including current accounts, savings accounts, 
and consumer and business financing.  These are delivered through the Bank's 
branch network, which is complemented by internet, telephone and postal banking 
channels. 
Financial Results 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. 
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 are shown on pages 
9 to 37. The loss for the year amounts to GBP9,492,744 (2008: GBP5,910,700). 
Details of the Company's performance and prospects are given within the 
Chairman's statement on pages 1 and 2. 
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend (2008: GBPnil). 
Risks 
The Bank has exposure to the following risks arising from its use of financial 
instruments: 
·       Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk arising from the failure of a 
customer or counterparty to meet their contractual obligations.  The risk arises 
from the Bank's secured and unsecured finance provided to customers and the 
investment of surplus funds in Sharia compliant wholesale deposits with bank 
counterparties; 
·       Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank does not have 
sufficient resources to meet its commitments when they fall due, or can secure 
them only at excessive cost. The risk arises from the mismatch of the Bank's 
financial assets and financial liabilities; 
·       Market risk: Market risk is the risk of loss of income arising from 
unfavourable market movements, including foreign exchange rates and profit 
rates.  The Bank does not operate a trading book and therefore market risk 
arises only within the banking book; 
·       Operational risk: Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from 
inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external 
events.  It includes risks arising from product and service failures, legal and 
regulatory risks, poor customer treatment, theft and fraud, the impact of 
change, the use of third party suppliers and information technology failure; 
·       Concentration risk: Concentration risk is the risk of loss arising from 
inadequate diversification of credit risk across sectors.  The risk arises due 
to exposure to particular geographic locations, industry sectors or particular 
customers or institutions; and 
·       Sharia compliance risk: Sharia compliance risk is the risk of loss 
arising from products or services not complying with Sharia requirements or in 
accordance with Islamic principals. 
A detailed explanation of the Bank's approach to financial and operational risk 
management is set out in note 4 to the financial statements. 
 
Creditor payment policy 
The Company seeks to settle trade invoices in line with their payment terms. 
The amount due to the Company's trade creditors as at 31 December 2009 
represented 30 days (2008: 40 days) average daily purchases of goods and 
services calculated in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. 
 
Capital 
On 19 December 2008, an ordinary resolution was passed at an extraordinary 
general meeting increasing the authorised share capital of the Company from 
GBP5,000,000 to GBP7,250,000 by the creation of an additional 225,000,000 new 
Ordinary Shares. On 23 January 2009, an additional 127,470,000 shares were 
allotted for consideration of GBP7,488,863 before expenses.

Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report and the 
Financial Statements 
 
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial 
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each 
financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial 
statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law. 
Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless 
they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs 
of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.  In 
preparing these financial statements the directors are required to: 
·              select suitable accounting policies and then apply them 
consistently; 
·              make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
·              state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as 
adopted by the EU; and 
·              prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis 
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in 
business. 
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are 
sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with 
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable 
them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 
They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to 
them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and 
other irregularities. 
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate 
and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in the 
UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may 
differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 
 
 
 
Independent auditors' report to the Members of Islamic Bank of Britain PLC 
 
We have audited the financial statements of Islamic Bank of Britain PLC for the 
year ended 31 December 2009 set out on pages 9 to 37.  The financial reporting 
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. 
 
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance 
with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been 
undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are 
required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To 
the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility 
to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our 
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 
 
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 
 
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on 
page 7, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial 
statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.  Our 
responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with 
applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).  Those 
standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's (APB's) 
Ethical Standards for Auditors. 
 
Scope of the audit of the financial statements 
 
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on 
the APB's web-site at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/UKNP. 
 
Opinion on financial statements 
 
In our opinion the financial statements: 
 
·              give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs 
as at 31 December 2009 and of its loss for the year then ended; 
·              have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted 
by the EU; and 
·              have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 
Companies Act 2006. 
 
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 
 
In our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial 
year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the 
financial statements. 
 
Matters on which we are required to report by exception 
 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the 
Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 
 
·              adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns 
adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 
or 
·              the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting 
records and returns; or 
·              certain disclosures of directors' remuneration required by law 
are not made; or 
·              we have not received all of the information and explanations

Notes to the financial statements 
1              Reporting entity 
Islamic Bank of Britain PLC (the 'Company' or the 'Bank') is a company domiciled 
in the UK.  The address of the Company's registered office is Edgbaston House, 3 
Duchess Place, Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 8NH.  The financial statements of the 
Company are presented as at and for the year ended 31 December 2009.  The 
Company is a retail bank offering Sharia compliant banking products and 
services. 
 
2              Basis of preparation 
(a)           Statement of compliance 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU and approved by the 
directors. 
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 March 
2010. 
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been 
applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. 
 
(b)           Basis of measurement 
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the going concern 
basis.  In making the going concern assessment, the directors have prepared 
detailed financial forecasts for the Company, including its funding and capital 
position, for the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial 
statements. 
As noted in the Chairman's statement, the Board is in ongoing discussions with 
its advisors and interested parties regarding the raising of additional capital 
to support planned future growth.  The directors have considered the effect upon 
the Company of more pessimistic scenarios on its business, in particular the 
worsening of the economic environment and if new capital is not raised as 
planned.  The scenarios show that if new capital is not raised, the directors 
will need to scale back the Bank's growth plans and operations during 2010 in 
order to ensure that regulatory requirements continue to be achieved.  The 
directors are prepared to implement as appropriate management actions to address 
any potential regulatory capital deficit as required, including a cost reduction 
exercise. 
Based on the forecasts, the directors are confident that the Company has 
adequate resources to continue in operational existence and will continue to 
comply with all relevant regulatory requirements for a period of at least the 
next 12 months.  Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in 
preparing the financial statements. 
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. 
 
(c)           Functional and presentation currency 
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's 
functional currency. 
 
(d)           Use of estimates and judgements 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and 
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  Actual 
results may differ from these estimates. 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the 
estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty 
and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most 
significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are 
described in note 5. 
 
 
3              Significant accounting policies 
(a)           Property and equipment 
(i)           Recognition and measurement 
Items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.  Cost includes expenditure that 
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. 
(ii)          Subsequent costs 
The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognised in 
the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic 
benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be 
measured reliably.  The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and 
equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred. 
(iii)         Depreciation 
Depreciation is recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over 
the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment as 
follows: 
 
+----------------------------+--+------------------------------------+ 
| Computer equipment         |3 | Years                              | 
+----------------------------+--+------------------------------------+ 
| Fixtures, fittings and     |5 | Years                              | 
| office equipment           |  |                                    | 
+----------------------------+--+------------------------------------+ 
| Leasehold improvements     |10 | years or over the life of the      | 
|                            |  | lease whichever is shorter         | 
+----------------------------+--+------------------------------------+ 
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each 
reporting date. 
 
(b)           Intangible assets 
Software and computer licences acquired by the Company are stated at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. 
Expenditure on internally developed software is recognised as an asset when the 
Company is able to complete the development and use the software in a manner 
that will generate future economic benefits, and can reliably measure the costs 
to complete the development.  The capitalised costs of internally developed 
software include all costs directly attributable to developing the software, and 
are amortised over its estimated useful life.  Internally developed software is 
stated at capitalised cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. 
Subsequent expenditure on software assets and computer licences is capitalised 
only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific 
asset to which it relates.  All other expenditure on software or computer 
licences is expensed as incurred. 
Amortisation is recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over 
the estimated useful life of the software or the licence term, from the date 
that it becomes available for use.  The estimated useful life of software is 
three years. 
 
 (c)          Commodity Murabaha and Wakala receivables and other advances to 
banks 
Commodity Murabaha is an Islamic financing transaction, which represents an 
agreement whereby the Company buys a commodity and sells it to a counterparty 
based on a promise received from that counterparty to buy the commodity 
according to specific terms and conditions.  The selling price comprises of the 
cost of the commodity and a pre-agreed profit margin. 
Wakala is an Islamic financing transaction, which represents an agreement 
whereby the Company provides a certain sum of money to an agent, who invests it 
according to specific conditions in order to achieve a certain specified return. 
 The agent is obliged to return the invested amount in case of default, 
negligence or violation of any of the terms and conditions of the Wakala. 
Commodity Murabaha receivables are recognised upon the sale of the commodity to 
the counterparty.  Wakala receivables are recognised upon placement of funds 
with other institutions. 
Income on both Commodity Murabaha and Wakala receivables is recognised on an 
effective yield basis.  The effective yield rate is the rate that exactly 
discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the agreed 
payment term of the contract to the carrying amount of the receivable.  The 
effective yield is established on initial recognition of the asset and is not 
revised subsequently. 
The calculation of the effective yield rate includes all fees paid or received, 
transaction costs, and discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the 
effective yield rate.  Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly 
attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or 
liability. 
Commodity Murabaha and Wakala receivables are initially recorded at fair value 
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective yield 
method, less impairment losses.  The accrued income receivable is classified 
under other assets. 
Other advances to banks are stated at cost and are non-return bearing. 
 
(d)           Consumer finance accounts 
Islamic consumer financing transactions represent an agreement whereby the 
Company buys a commodity or goods and then sells it to the customer with an 
agreed profit mark-up with settlement of the sale price being deferred for an 
agreed period.  The customer may subsequently sell the commodity purchased to 
generate cash. 
Consumer finance assets will be recognised on the date that the commodity or 
good is sold by the Company.  Consumer finance account balances are initially 
recorded at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.  The 
amortised cost is the amount at which the asset is measured at initial 
recognition, minus repayments received relating to the initial recognised 
amount, plus the cumulative amortisation using an effective yield method of any 
difference between the initial amount recognised and the agreed sales price to 
the customer, minus any reduction for impairment. 
Income is recognised on an effective yield basis over the period of the 
contract.  The effective yield rate is the rate that exactly discounts the 
estimated future cash payments and receipts through the agreed payment term of 
the contract to the carrying amount of the receivable.  The effective yield is 
established on initial recognition of the asset and is not revised subsequently. 
The calculation of the effective yield rate includes all fees paid or received, 
transaction costs, and discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the 
effective yield rate.  Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly 
attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or 
liability. 
The accrued income receivable from the customer is classified under other 
assets. 
 
 (e)          Commercial property finance and home purchase plans 
Commercial property finance and home purchase plans are provided using the 
Diminishing Musharaka (reducing partnership) principle of Islamic financing. 
The Company will enter into an agreement to jointly purchase a property and 
rental income will be received by the Company relating to that proportion of the 
property owned by the Company at any point in time.  The other party to the 
agreement will make separate payments to purchase additional proportions of the 
property from the Company, thereby reducing the Company's effective share. 
The transaction is recognised as a financial asset upon legal completion of the 
property purchase and the amount receivable is recognised at an amount equal to 
the net investment in the transaction.  Where initial direct costs are incurred 
by the Company such as commissions, legal fees and internal costs that are 
incremental and directly attributable to negotiating and arranging the 
transaction, these costs are included in the initial measurement of the 
receivable and the amount of income over the term will be reduced.  Rental 
income is recognised to provide a constant periodic rate of return on the 
Company's net investment. 
 
(f)            Deposits from customers 
Profit sharing accounts are based on the principle of Mudaraba whereby the 
Company and the customer share an agreed percentage of any profit earned on the 
customer's deposit.  The customer's share of profit is paid in accordance with 
the terms and conditions of the account.  The profit calculation is undertaken 
at the end of each calendar month. 
Customer Murabaha deposits consist of an Islamic financing transaction involving 
the Company arranging the purchase of an asset on behalf of the customer and the 
purchase thereof from the same customer by the Company at cost plus an agreed 
profit mark-up with settlement on a deferred payment basis.  Customer Murabaha 
deposit balances are included in the balance sheet under deposits from customers 
and the accrued returns payable to the customer are classified under other 
liabilities.  Returns payable on customer Murabaha deposits are recognised on an 
effective yield basis over the period of the contract. 
Customer Wakala deposits consist of an Islamic financing transaction, which 
represents an agreement whereby the customer appoints the Company as agent to 
invest a certain sum of money, according to specific conditions in order to 
achieve a certain specified return.  The Company, as agent, is obliged to return 
the invested amount in case of default, negligence or violation of any of the 
terms and conditions of the Wakala. 
 
(g)           Profit stabilisation reserve 
The profit stabilisation reserve is used to maintain returns payable to 
customers on Mudaraba based savings accounts. Returns payable on these profit 
sharing accounts are credited to customers in accordance with the terms and 
conditions of the account. Any surplus returns arising from the investment of 
funds are then credited to this reserve. In the case of inadequate returns 
generated by these funds, the Company will maintain the return to depositors by 
utilising this reserve. 
 
(h)           Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities 
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the 
cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the 
contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which 
substantially all the risks and rewards or ownership of the financial asset are 
transferred.  Any remaining interest in transferred financial assets that is 
created or retained by the Company is recognised as a separate asset or 
liability. 
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations 
are discharged or cancelled or have expired. 
 
 (i)           Impairment of financial assets 
At each balance sheet date the Company assesses whether there is objective 
evidence that financial assets are impaired.  Financial assets are impaired when 
objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event has occurred after the initial 
recognition of the asset, and that the loss event has an impact on the future 
cash flows of the asset that can be estimated reliably. 
The Company considers evidence of impairment at both a specific asset and 
collective level.  All individually significant financial assets are assessed 
for specific impairment.  All significant assets found not to be specifically 
impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been 
incurred but not yet identified.  Assets that are not individually significant 
are then collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together financial 
assets (carried at amortised cost) with similar risk characteristics. 
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired include default or 
delinquency by the counterparty, extending or changing repayment terms, 
indications that a counterparty may go into bankruptcy, or other observable data 
relating to the group of assets such as adverse changes in the payment status of 
counterparties, or economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the 
group. 
In assessing collective impairment the Company uses analysis of historical 
trends to identify the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the 
amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgement as to whether 
current economic conditions are such that actual losses are likely to be greater 
or less than suggested by historical analysis.  Default rates, loss rates and 
the expected timing of future recoveries are regularly benchmarked against 
actual outcomes to ensure that they remain appropriate. 
Impairment losses on assets carried at amortised cost are measured as the 
difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present 
value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the assets' original effective 
yield rate.  Losses are recognised in the income statement and reflected against 
the assets carrying value. 
When a subsequent event causes the amount of expected impairment losses to 
decrease, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. 
 
(j)            Impairment of non-financial assets 
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets are reviewed at each 
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.  If 
any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. 
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its 
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.  A cash-generating unit is 
the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are 
independent from other assets and groups.  Impairment losses are recognised in 
the income statement. 
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its 
fair value less costs to resell.  In assessing value in use, the estimated 
future cash flows are discounted to their present value.  An impairment loss is 
reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the 
recoverable amount.  An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the 
asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been 
recognised. 
 
(k)          Provisions 
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a 
present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it 
is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation.  Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash 
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of cost of 
funds and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 
 
 (l)           Fees and commissions 
Fee and commission income that relates mainly to transaction and service fees 
are recognised as the related services are performed.  Fees and commission 
expenses that relate mainly to transaction and service fees are expensed as 
incurred. 
Arrangement fees for commercial property finance deals and home purchase plans 
are amortised over the expected life of the transaction. 
 
(m)          Income tax expense 
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Income tax expense is 
recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items 
recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. 
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, 
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and 
any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for 
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. 
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the 
temporary differences when they reverse, based on laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the reporting date. 
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be 
utilised.  Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit 
will be realised. 
 
(n)           Lease payments made 
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Lease incentives received are 
recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the 
lease. 
 
(o)           Employee benefits 
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are 
recognised as an expense in the income statement when they are due. 
Short-term employee benefits, such as salaries, paid absences, and other 
benefits, are accounted for on an accruals basis over the period for which 
employees have provided services.  Bonuses are recognised to the extent that the 
Company has a present obligation to its employees that can be measured reliably. 
 
(p)             Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins in hand, unrestricted balances 
held with central banks and highly liquid financial assets with original 
maturities of less than three months, which are subject to insignificant risk of 
changes in their fair value, and are used by the Company in the management of 
its short-term commitments. 
Commodity Murabaha and Wakala transactions, used by the Company for investment 
purposes, are not included within cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash 
equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the balance sheet. 
 
(q)           Other receivables 
Trade and other receivables are stated at their nominal amount (discounted if 
material) less impairment losses. 
 
 (r)          Earnings per share 
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its 
ordinary shares.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss 
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is 
determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders 
and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects 
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 
 
(s)           Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at 
exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are 
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at that 
date.  The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference 
between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period 
and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate 
ruling at the end of the period. Foreign currency differences arising on 
retranslation are recognised in the income statement. 
 
(t)            Share based payments 
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference 
to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is 
determined by an external valuer using an option pricing model, taking into 
account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. 
The cost of equity-settled transactions is expensed on a straight-line basis, 
together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the 
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which 
the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ('the vesting date'). 
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each 
reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting 
period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity 
instruments that will ultimately vest. The income statement charge or credit for 
a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the 
beginning and end of that period. 
Any dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share 
dilution in the computation of earnings per share. 
 
 (u)          New standards and interpretations effective in 2009 
·              IAS 1 (Revised), 'Presentation of Financial Statements'.  This 
standard revises the overall requirements for the presentation of financial 
statements and provides guidance for their structure and minimum content 
requirement.  The revised standard requires the presentation of all non-owner 
changes in equity within a statement of comprehensive income. 
·              IFRS 2 (Amendment), 'Share Based Payment'.  This amendment 
restricts the definition of vesting conditions to include only service 
conditions and performance conditions and deals with the accounting consequences 
of a failure to meet a condition other than a vesting condition including how to 
deal with cancellations by the counterparty and the circumstances where neither 
the entity nor the counterparty is in a position to choose whether or not to 
meet a vesting condition. 
·              IAS 32 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', and 
IAS 1 (Amendment), 'Presentation of Financial Statements - Puttable Financial 
Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation'.  The amended standards 
require entities to classify puttable financial instruments and instruments, or 
components of instruments, that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to 
another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on 
liquidation as equity, provided the financial instruments have particular 
features and meet specific conditions. 
·              IFRS 7 (Amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure'.  This 
amendment requires enhanced disclosures about the fair value measurements and 
liquidity risks in respect of financial instruments.  The main change relates to 
fair value measurements which should now be disclosed in a three level hierarchy 
that reflects the significance of model inputs.  Specific disclosures are 
required for Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs), movements between level 
1 and 2, and around changes in valuation techniques between different periods. 
As all of the Company's financial assets are carried at amortised cost the 
requirement to provide hierarchy disclosures has no impact on these financial 
statements. 
·              IFRS 8, 'Operating Segments'.  IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 'Segment 
Reporting' and requires a 'management approach', under which segment information 
is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. 
·              Improvements to IFRSs.  This sets out minor amendments to IFRS 
standards as part of an annual improvements process. 
(v)            New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations relevant 
to the Company have been issued, but are not yet effective within the EU and 
have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. 
·              IAS 24 (Revised), 'Related Party Disclosures' (effective from 1 
January 2011).  This revised standard includes an exemption from the disclosure 
requirements for related transactions between "state-controlled" entities and 
includes a revised definition for related parties.  The revised standard will 
not have a material impact on the Company's financial results. (*) 
·              IFRS 9, 'Financial Instruments' (effective from 1 January 2013). 
This standard deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets 
and will replace IAS 39.  The requirements of this standard represent a 
significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39.  The standard 
contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost 
and fair value.  The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of 'held 
to maturity' and 'loans and receivables'.  The potential effect of this standard 
is currently being evaluated. (*) 
* - The revised IAS 24 and IFRS 9 have not yet been endorsed by the EU. 
 
4              Financial risk management 
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from its use of 
financial instruments: 
·              Credit risk 
·              Liquidity risk 
·              Market risk 
·              Operational risk 
·              Sharia compliance risk 
·              Concentration risk 
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above 
risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these 
risks, and its management of capital. 
Risk management framework 
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and 
oversight of the Company's risk management framework.  The Company has 
established the Asset & Liability (ALCO), Credit and Risk Committees, which are 
responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies in their 
specific areas. 
The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse 
the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and 
to monitor risks and adherence to limits.  Risk management policies and systems 
are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, products and 
services offered.  The Company, through its training and procedures, aims to 
develop a disciplined and constructive control environment, in which all 
employees understand their roles and obligations. 
Risk management controls and procedures are reviewed by Internal Audit, both as 
part of the regular audit review programme and through ad-hoc reviews.  The 
results of these reviews are reported to the Audit Committee. 
 
(a)           Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of a customer or 
counterparty to meet their contractual obligations.  The risk arises from the 
Company's secured and unsecured finance provided to customers and the investment 
of surplus funds in Sharia compliant wholesale deposits with bank 
counterparties. 
 
(i)           Management of credit risk 
The Board of Directors has delegated responsibility for the management of credit 
risk to the Credit Committee.  A separate Credit department, reporting to the 
Credit Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company's credit risk, 
including: 
·              Formulating credit policies in consultation with other business 
units, covering credit assessments, collateral requirements, risk reporting, 
legal requirements and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements. 
·              Establishing authorisation limits and structures for the approval 
and renewal of credit exposure limits. 
·              Reviewing and assessing credit risk prior to agreements being 
entered into with customers. 
·              Limiting concentrations of exposure to counterparties, countries 
or sectors and reviewing these limits. 
·              Ongoing assessment of exposure and implementation of procedures 
to reduce this exposure. 
·              Providing advice, guidance and specialist skills to all business 
areas to promote best practice throughout the Company in the management of 
credit risk. 
Adherence to country and counterparty limits, for amounts due from other banks, 
is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Company's Treasury department, with a 
detailed review of all limits at least annually.  Senior management receive 
regular reports on the utilisation of these limits.

Investment grade financial assets have a minimum rating of BBB. As at 31 
December 2009, the amount of unimpaired balances stood at GBP201,997,391 (2008: 
GBP174,587,812).  The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of 
the financial asset receivable balances as at 31 December 2009 and 31 December 
2008. 
 
(iii)         Write-off policy 
The Company writes off a balance (and any related allowances for impairment) 
when the Credit department determines that the balance is uncollectible.  This 
determination is reached after considering information such as the occurrence of 
significant changes in the counterparty's financial position such that the 
counterparty can no longer pay the obligation, or that proceeds from collateral 
will not be sufficient to pay back the entire exposure. 
 
(iv)         Collateral 
The Company holds collateral against secured advances made to businesses and 
individuals in the form of charges over properties, other registered securities 
over assets, and guarantees.  Estimates of fair value are based on the value of 
collateral assessed at the time of financing and are updated on a periodic 
basis.  The estimated fair value of collateral held against financial assets as 
at 31 December 2009 is GBP68.0m (2008: GBP27.4m).  None of this amount was held 
against impaired assets. 
 
(v)           Concentration of credit risk 
The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk by sector and geographical 
location.  An analysis of concentrations of credit risk at the reporting date is 
shown below.

The asset quality underlying the commercial property finance and home purchase 
plan portfolios is high, with financing decisions based on clear affordability 
assessments and prudent finance-to-value (FTV) ratios.  As at 31 December 2009 
none of the facilities within the secured finance portfolios were in arrears. 
 
(b)           Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company does not have sufficient financial 
resources to meet its commitments when they fall due, or can secure them only at 
excessive cost.  The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that 
it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under 
both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or 
risking damage to the Company's reputation. 
The Treasury department is responsible for monitoring the liquidity profile of 
financial assets and liabilities and preparing details of projected cash flows 
arising from projected future business.  The Treasury department maintains a 
portfolio of short-term liquid assets, made up of cash on demand and short term 
Commodity Murabaha and Wakala transactions to ensure that sufficient liquidity 
is maintained.  All liquidity policies and procedures are subject to review and 
approval by ALCO. 
The key measure used by the Company for managing liquidity risk is the 
comparison of the maturity of assets and customer deposits.  This analysis is 
completed and monitored on a daily basis and reports are submitted each month 
for review by ALCO.  A similar calculation of mismatches is submitted to the 
Financial Services Authority (the 'FSA') as part of the Company's quarterly 
regulatory reporting. 
 
Residual contractual maturities of financial liabilities 
The following table shows the undiscounted cash flows on the Company's financial 
liabilities on the basis of their earliest possible contractual maturity. 
However, based on behavioural experience demand deposits from customers are 
expected to maintain an increasing balance.

(c)           Market risk 
Market risk is the risk of loss of income arising from unfavourable market 
movements, including foreign exchange rates and profit rates.  The objective of 
market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable 
parameters, whilst optimising returns.  The Company is not exposed to any 
material foreign currency risk. Given the Company's current profile of financial 
instruments, the principle exposure is the risk of loss arising from 
fluctuations in the future cash flows or fair values of these financial 
instruments because of a change in achievable rates.  This is managed 
principally through monitoring gaps between effective profit and rental rates 
and reviewing approved rates and bands at regular re-pricing meetings: 
·              Profit rates for Commodity Murabaha and Wakala receivables are 
agreed with the counterparty bank at the time of each transaction and the profit 
mark-up and effective yield rate is consequently fixed for the duration of the 
contract.  Risk exposure is managed by reviewing the maturity profiles of 
transactions entered into. 
·              Effective rates applied to new consumer finance transactions are 
agreed on a monthly basis by ALCO and the profit mark-up will then be fixed for 
each individual transaction for the agreed deferred payment term. 
·              Rentals for longer term commercial property financing and home 
purchase plans are benchmarked against a market measure, in agreement with the 
Company's Sharia Supervisory Committee, subject to minimum rent levels. 
·              Profit rates payable on Mudaraba customer deposit accounts are 
calculated at each month-end in line with the profit allocation model and the 
customer terms and conditions. Profit rates payable on Murabaha and Wakala 
deposits are agreed with the customer at the time of each transaction and the 
profit mark-up and effective yield rate is consequently fixed for the duration 
of the contract.  Risk exposure is managed by reviewing the maturity profiles of 
transactions entered into. 
All rates and re-pricings are reviewed and agreed at ALCO, which is principally 
responsible for monitoring market risk.  ALCO will also review sensitivities of 
the Company's assets and liabilities to standard and non-standard changes in 
achievable effective rates.  Standard scenarios that are considered on a monthly 
basis include a 1.00% or 0.50% rise or fall in effective average rates. An 
analysis of the Company's income statement sensitivity to an increase or 
decrease in effective rates (assuming no asymmetrical movement and a constant 
balance sheet position) is as follows:

|                              |    1.00% |     1.00% |    0.50% |     0.50% |

 (d)          Operational risk 
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal 
processes, people and systems or from external factors other than credit, 
liquidity and market risks. 
The Company's objective in managing operational risk is to implement an 
integrated internal control structure that supports process efficiency and 
customer needs, whilst effectively reducing the risk of error and financial loss 
in a cost effective manner.  The overall operational risk framework is set by 
the Board of Directors.  Primary responsibility for the development and 
implementation of internal controls is assigned to senior management within each 
business department, with the assistance of the Risk department. Adherence to 
operational risk policies and procedures is monitored regularly by the Risk 
Committee, through the use of key risk indicators, control related metrics and 
reports from the Risk department. 
(e)           Sharia compliance risk 
Sharia compliance risk is the risk of loss arising from products and services 
not complying with Sharia requirements or in accordance with Islamic principles. 
 The Bank's purpose is to provide Sharia compliant banking to customers.  The 
Sharia compliant nature of each product and service offered is therefore 
critical to the success of the Bank. 
The Sharia compliance of each product and service offered is achieved via the 
Sharia Supervisory Committee (SSC), which seeks to ensure that the Bank's 
operations are in compliance with Islamic law.  The SSC is comprised of experts 
in the interpretation of Islamic law and its application to modern day Islamic 
financial institutions.  The SSC meets on a regular basis to review all material 
contracts and agreements relating to the Bank's transactions, certifying every 
product and service offered.  On a day-to-day basis, the Bank's Sharia 
Compliance Officer oversees the adherence of transactions, processes and 
procedures to ensure that all are operated in accordance with Sharia 
requirements. 
(f)            Concentration risk 
Concentration risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate diversification 
of credit risk across sectors. The risk arises due to exposure to particular 
geographical locations, industry sectors or particular customers or 
institutions. 
The Board sets counterparty, country and regional limits in respect of treasury 
assets and adherence to these limits is monitored on a daily basis. 
Concentrations exist within the commercial property finance and home purchase 
plan portfolios due to their current small overall size. As these portfolios 
grow, such concentrations are expected to reduce. 
The Credit Committee monitors both sectoral and geographic concentration for 
each finance asset class and regularly reviews counterparty, country and 
regional limits in respect of treasury assets. 
(g)           Capital management 
In accordance with the EU's Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the 
guidance provided in the FSA Handbook (BIPRU 2.2), the Company's Individual 
Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is embedded in the risk management 
framework of the Company.  The ICAAP is reviewed on an annual basis as part of 
the Company's strategic planning process and more frequently if business 
requirements demand. 
The Company's capital requirements are set by the FSA and monitored by the 
Board. Regulatory capital is analysed into two tiers: 
·              Tier 1 capital, which includes ordinary share capital, share 
premium and retained earnings, less intangible assets. 
·              Tier 2 capital, which includes collective impairment allowances, 
restricted to a maximum amount. 
The level of total capital is matched against risk-weighted assets which are 
determined according to specified requirements that seek to reflect the varying 
levels of risk attached to assets. The Company has put in place processes to 
monitor and manage capital adequacy. 
 
The FSA has reviewed and evaluated the ICAAP, and has provided Individual 
Capital Guidance (ICG) to the Company. The FSA sets out ICG for all banks 
operating in the United Kingdom by reference to its Capital Resources 
Requirement.  The FSA's approach is to monitor the available capital resources 
in relation to the ICG requirement. 
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain 
investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development 
of the business.  The Company has complied with all externally imposed capital 
requirements throughout the period. 
The Company's regulatory capital position as at 31 December was as follows:

5              Critical accounting policies 
Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and 
disclosure of the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates, and the 
application of these policies and estimates.  The critical accounting policies 
are set out below. 
(a)           Allowance for credit losses 
Assets accounted for at amortised cost are evaluated for impairment on the basis 
described in accounting policy (i). 
The specific counterparty component of the total allowances for impairment 
applies to claims evaluated individually for impairment and is based upon 
management's best estimate of the present value of the cash flows that are 
expected to be received.  In estimating these cash flows, management makes 
judgements about each counterparty's financial situation and the realisable 
value of any underlying collateral.  Each impaired asset is assessed on its 
merits, and the estimates of cash flows considered recoverable are approved by 
the Credit function. 
Collectively assessed impairment allowances cover credit losses inherent in 
portfolios of claims with similar economic characteristics when there is 
objective evidence to suggest that they contain impaired claims, but the 
individual impaired items cannot yet be identified.  In assessing the need for 
collective loss allowances, management considers factors such as credit quality, 
portfolio size, concentrations, and economic factors.  In order to estimate the 
required allowance, assumptions are made to define the way inherent losses are 
modelled and to determine the required input parameters, based on historical 
experience and current economic conditions. 
 (b)          Financial Services Compensation Scheme 
Based on its share of protected deposits, the Bank, in common with all regulated 
UK deposit takers, pays levies to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme 
(FSCS) to enable the FSCS to meet claims against it. The FSCS levy consists of 
two parts - a management expenses levy and a compensation levy. The management 
expenses levy covers the costs of running the scheme and the compensation levy 
covers the amount of compensation the scheme pays, net of any recoveries it 
makes using the rights that have been assigned to it. During 2008, claims were 
triggered against the FSCS arising from defaults by the following deposit 
takers: 
·              Bradford and Bingley plc (September 2008); 
·              Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander's internet deposit business 
('Kaupthing Edge') (October 2008); 
·              Heritable Bank's deposit business, a subsidiary of Landsbanki 
Islands hf (October 2008); 
·              Icesave, the UK branch of Landsbanki Islands hf (October 2008); 
and 
·              London Scottish Bank plc (December 2008). 
The FSCS has met the claims by way of loans received from the Bank of England 
and HM Treasury. The FSCS has, in turn, acquired the rights to the realisation 
of the assets of these banks. The FSCS is liable to pay interest on the loans 
from the Bank of England. The FSCS may have a further liability if there are 
insufficient funds available from the realisation of the assets of the banks to 
fully repay the respective Bank of England loans. 
As a result of notifications it has received from the Financial Services 
Authority, the Bank recognised a provision in the prior year (within Other 
liabilities) to reflect the Bank's best estimate of the amount that would be 
payable.  This provision has been reassessed at 31 December 2009 to reflect the 
estimated amounts that will fall payable in respect of the 2009/10 and 2010/11 
scheme years. The movement in the provision during the year is as follows:

In respect of the recognition of deferred tax assets, for the purposes of 
applying the requirements of IAS 12 ('Income Taxes'), it has been considered 
that the Company is not currently at a sufficiently advanced stage in its 
development to confidently assert future offsetting tax liabilities.  Capital 
allowances to be claimed are being finalised and therefore the level of the 
asset shown above may change. 
The corporation tax rate used to calculate potential deferred tax assets was 28% 
(2008: 28%).

Ordinary Shares. On 23 January 2009, an additional 127,470,000 shares were 
allotted for consideration of GBP7,488,863 before expenses. 
 
Company Share Option Plan 
In 2007 the Company established an HMRC approved Company Share Option Plan 
('CSOP') under which options to subscribe for the Company's ordinary shares of 
1p each were awarded to certain employees ('Optionholders'). 
All options have a vesting period of 3 years, and are subject to the achievement 
of specific performance criteria. 
Options are forfeited if they remain unexercised after a period of more than 10 
years from the date of grant. Options are also forfeited if the Optionholder 
ceases to hold office with the Company before the options vest, with certain 
exceptions ("good leaver" provisions). All options are non-transferable and 
there are no cash settlement alternatives. 
The following options were granted during the prior year under the CSOP scheme 
and represent all outstanding options issued by the Company: 
 
+-------------+----------+--------+----------+----------+-----------+-------------+ 
|   Number of | Exercise |  Date  |     Date |     Date | Cancelled |   Number of |

During the year, 119,197 of the options granted in 2007 were cancelled due to 
the employee to whom the options were granted leaving the employment of the 
Company. No options were granted during the year and no options were exercised 
during the current or prior years. 
The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under the CSOP are 
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model, taking into account 
the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. There are no 
market conditions which need to be taken into account in measuring the fair 
value of the share options. 
The assumptions used in the model are as follows: 
 
+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ 
| Input             | Assumption                                      |

Deposit balances, operated under standard customer terms and conditions, held by 
key management personnel, including directors, totalled GBP303,194 as at 31 
December 2009 (2008: GBP242,923). The highest balance during the year was 
GBP441,718 (2008: GBP322,988).  Total returns paid on these accounts during the 
year totalled GBP2,355 (2008: GBP2,895). 
Outstanding consumer finance and home purchase plan balances relating to key 
management personnel totalled GBP209,753 as at 31 December 2009 (2008: 
GBP54,302).  Returns recognised during the year for these accounts were GBP7,544 
(2008: GBP3,553).  All consumer finance account facilities taken by key 
management personnel and staff were offered in line with standard customer terms 
and conditions. 
24           Loss per ordinary share 
Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share are calculated by dividing the loss 
for the financial period attributable to equity holders by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares in issue for the year ended 31 December 2009 of 
538,437,644 (31 December 2008: 419,000,000). 
The Company has established a HMRC approved Company Share Option Plan, "CSOP", 
under which options to subscribe for the Company's ordinary shares of 1p each 
have been awarded to certain employees.  At 31 December 2009, 1,481,033 options 
remain outstanding (31 December 2008: 1,600,230).  Diluted loss per share is the 
same as basic loss per share since the outstanding share options have not been 
taken into account due to their anti-dilutive effect.  This arises since the 
Company is loss making. 
 
25           Capital commitments 
The Company had no outstanding capital commitments at 31 December 2009 (2008: 
GBPnil). 
 
26        Segmental reporting 
The Company measures and reports on the financial performance of the business to 
the chief operating decision maker as a whole and so has only one operating 
segment.  All business is conducted from the United Kingdom. 
A split of the Company's revenue by the geographic location in which the revenue
