CHAIRMAN‟S STATEMENT:
I am pleased to report that during 2013 we made further progress in transforming EIIB into a specialist asset
management and financing business and began to see the positive results of the strategy we put in place two years
ago.
Progress
The strategy your Board set out was aimed at transforming EIIB into a market leading asset management and
financing business focused on London and the GCC region.
Our first tasks involved addressing the Bank's legacy investments, instituting tight cost controls and restructuring the
operations of Rasmala, the leading Dubai-based investment bank that we acquired in 2012 in order to enhance our
asset management capabilities. A great deal of work was needed to resolve legacy issues in an orderly manner and to
maximise the synergies between EIIB and Rasmala. In 2013, there was significant progress on these fronts and this
has enabled us to start a number of projects to increase the revenue potential by upgrading the existing platform and
launching new products.
Progress to date enabled the Bank to return a profit in 2013, while continuing to invest in the growth initiatives required
to achieve our aim of growing Assets Under Management (AUMs) to US$3bn by 2016.
Performance
During 2013, the Bank's operating performance showed continuing signs of improvement. Despite headwinds and
continued political uncertainty in some of our markets, particularly in Egypt, as highlighted in our half year results, total
operating income increased to £10.2m (2012 £3.9m). Combined with tight control of costs, this increase resulted in an
underlying operating profit from continued operations of £1.5m.
The achievement of an operating profit in this way is the most encouraging sign to date of the potential for our plans
and demonstrates that the Bank's new strategy is delivering positive results.
Market developments
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries continue to benefit from high oil prices and political stability. The rapid
economic development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar has been recognized by the global index
compiler MSCI with an upgrading from Frontier Market to Emerging Market status and their inclusion in the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index from May 2014. This upgrade is indicative of a new era in capital flows into the Gulf and
reflects increasing confidence in regional markets.
Macroeconomic markets around the world present a mixed picture. A return to growth in many developed economies,
albeit underpinned in some quarters by considerable government intervention, must be seen against a slowing of
growth in some emerging markets. While many stock and debt markets continue to reach new heights, concern
remains over the prospect of the tapering of quantitative easing by the US Federal Reserve.
Despite the wider MENA region experiencing a period of unprecedented change, we continue to believe that our
regional knowledge and expertise stands us in good stead. The GCC economies are positioned at the crossroads
between East and West and benefit from a growing population and the wealth derived from approximately half the
world's proven oil and gas reserves and this offers outstanding opportunities.
EIIB is now well positioned to benefit in these markets.
EIIB is also well positioned to benefit from the continued rise in popularity of Islamic finance, particularly in London and
the GCC countries.

European Islamic Investment Bank plc
In 2013 the World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) was held in London, highlighting growing efforts to position London
as a leading hub for Islamic finance and this was further reinforced by the presence of the British Prime Minister and
his announcement of plans for Britain to issue its first sovereign sukuk.
Islamic assets exceeded $1.8 trillion by the end of 2013 and are forecast to grow considerably faster than conventional
banking over the next few years. There is now rapid growth in trade involving wealthy GCC economies and this will
drive further interest from around the world in Islamic finance.
Corporate governance
EIIB is committed to good corporate governance and we believe high standards in this area combined with strong
management will make an important contribution to EIIB‟s long-term performance.
The Board has successfully managed a period of significant change and has also taken steps to increase
independence by appointing John Wright and Martin Gilbert Barrow as independent non-executive directors.
During the year Aabed Al Zeera and Keith McLeod left the Board. We thank them for their contributions.
We will continue to strengthen the Board and intend to take further action to increase independence and effectiveness.
The Board has already commenced a process of reviewing its performance, its committees‟ performance and that of
individual board members to ensure the Board and its committees have the appropriate balance of skills, experience
and independence.
The Board has been applying the UK Corporate Governance Code in a manner that balances the need for systems
and procedures with the need for flexibility and entrepreneurship that is essential in growth companies. The London
Stock Exchange regards the UK Corporate Governance Code as the standard to which all public companies should
aspire, and supports the use of the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) Guidelines by AIM companies. The Board is
now evaluating whether to formally adopt the QCA Guidelines.
Outlook
The Board has delivered a major turnaround and we are now positioned as a specialist asset management and
financing business focused on the growth markets of the GCC.
The GCC region continues to show considerable buoyancy, reflecting both economic growth and confidence in the
future. After two years of restructuring EIIB is now well positioned to move to the next stage in its strategy, a drive for
growth. I am optimistic that we will deliver what we set out to achieve.

STRATEGIC REPORT FOR 2013:
The Directors present the Strategic Report, Directors‟ Report and the financial statements of European Islamic
Investment Bank plc (“the Group” or “EIIB”) for the year ended 31 December 2013.
OVERVIEW
EIIB is a London listed specialist investment banking and asset management group focused on the oil rich markets of
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. EIIB is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the
Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. EIIB‟s primary focus is to provide investment management and
financing solutions to pension funds, family groups, corporations and financial and government institutions.
EIIB‟s mission is to achieve excellence in the provision of investment banking and asset management products and
services in accordance with the principles of Sharia‟a. The activities of the bank include: investment banking services
encompassing provision of financing, debt capital markets and structured finance; investment management solutions
encompassing equities, fixed income and real estate; and business advisory services.
During the past year we continued to implement our strategy of developing our core asset management capabilities
whilst also enhancing our specialist investment banking business and focusing on the growth markets of the GCC.
RESULTS
The financial statements for the reporting year ended 31 December 2013 are shown on pages 27 to 96.
Results for 2013 reflect continued strengthening of our business. Total operating income increased to £10.2m (2012
£3.9m), which, combined with continued tight cost control, delivered an underlying operating profit before tax from
continued operations of £1.5m.
The profit to equity holders was £0.14m after tax expense of £0.26m and loss on discontinued operations of £1.25m
and the overall loss including Non-controlling interest in 2013 amounted to £0.03m (2012 loss £11.02m).
Our asset management business performed strongly. Discretionary managed assets including capital seeded by the
Group increased by 25% to £712m (US$ 1,176m) (2012: £570m / US$ 922m). There were positive movements in AUM
despite instability in the region, unexpected regulatory changes in Egypt and the sell-off in bond markets worldwide.
Again, strong investment performance across our flagship funds and investment strategies showed the benefits of our
regional expertise and detailed local insights.
Investment banking also made its mark in 2013 most notably by winning the $100m sukuk al-wakala mandate for FWU
Group.
The bank maintained its strong capital adequacy, regulatory and liquidity ratios. The Regulatory Capital of the Group at
31 December 2013 stood at £101.0m (£99.5m at 31 December 2012).
These results met our original management forecasts and represent good performance in a second year of major
change. They put us in a strong position to accelerate growth going forward.
Developing an integrated team with one vision
The investment we have made in restructuring and integrating our businesses over the last two years has created a
unique platform for future growth. EIIB is now positioned to capture market share and take advantage of a variety of
investment opportunities in our target markets.
The extensive restructuring over the last two years led to a significant reduction in headcount across the group. In 2013
the firm was stabilized and was able to resume recruitment activity. In particular the firm has been looking to
strengthen its origination, sales and distribution capabilities in order to drive future growth.
8
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
A key element in the acquisition of Rasmala has been the building of an integrated team with a shared vision of the
firm going forward – a team that is capable of delivering beyond the sum of its parts. We have created a cost conscious
and service driven culture across the business and are now in a position to increasingly turn the Group‟s focus towards
profitable growth.
Asset management
Assets Under Management (AUM) continued to grow during the year. AUM now exceeds US$1bn and we are on target
to achieving our stated aim of growing AUM to US$3bn by December 2016. We are gaining market share in the UAE in
terms of total assets under management and Institutional Investor magazine now includes us in the “Middle East‟s Top
20 Money Managers”.
The successful integration of Rasmala within the EIIB group has delivered cost synergies and enabled us to move to
the next phase of our strategy - upgrading existing products and launching new products to enhance the revenue
growth potential of the platform, all from within the 2012 cost base.
New funds
Building on our launch of the Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund in 2012, we expanded our local market product offering with
the launch of the Rasmala GCC Islamic Equity Income Fund, investing in high dividend paying equity securities listed
on the GCC stock exchanges. The fund currently targets an annual distribution of over 4% and has benefitted from the
buoyant performance of several GCC stock exchanges in the last year.
Strategically, we also launched investment products to capture outbound investment flows from GCC investors to
opportunities in other geographies. We feel that there is a market opportunity for us to cater not only to investor
requirements in the MENA investment markets, but also to offer our GCC client base unique, Sharia‟a compliant,
investment products investing in international markets. To that end, we launched the Rasmala Leasing Fund and the
Rasmala Trade Finance Fund.
The Rasmala Leasing Fund is a Sharia‟a compliant six-year term fund, investing in lease assets in the United States
and the Rasmala Trade Finance Fund is a Sharia‟a compliant open-ended fund providing investors with a low volatility
money market alterative. The Fund is linked to emerging market trade transactions and aims to benefit from the rapid
growth of global trade, including in the GCC.
Strong performance
Overall investment performance remained strong compared to both our competitors and industry-recognised
benchmarks. The Arabian Markets Growth Equity Fund returned 38.0% (net of all fees and expenses) compared to the
S&P Arab Composite Index return of 21.6%. This builds upon the fund's long-term track record, which stands at an
annualized outperformance of 8.5% since inception in 2006.
The Rasmala GCC Fixed Income Fund returned 1.2% (net of all fees and expenses) despite the global fixed income
headwinds and compared to the Citigroup Corporate AAA/AA Bond Index return of 0.9%, also extending that fund‟s
long-term track record of annualized outperformance of 5.8% since inception in 2009.
In addition all of our mutual funds and discretionary portfolio mandates outperformed their respective benchmarks in
2013.
The response from our existing client base has been encouragingly positive, many of our clients increased their assets
under management with us during the year.
We have also attracted new client mandates, including our first from Egypt‟s Social Insurance Fund, serving
approximately 1.5 million pensioners and 3.8 million contributors, all of whom are government employees.
There is clear demand for our products and we will continue to drive growth by recruiting proven talent and increasing
our product range.

European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Positioning for further growth
In 2013, we commenced a major project to re-domicile our existing open-ended funds from the Cayman Islands to
Luxembourg as UCIT IV Funds.
This project involved a significant expense, borne primarily in 2013, and slowed asset gathering as our open-ended
funds were closed to new subscriptions for a significant period towards the end of 2013. However, the future benefits
for us, and our clients, are clear. Clients and distributors clearly value the high standard of funds managed within the
UCITS regime. In addition, the regulatory approval process for distribution of funds within MENA jurisdictions, and
globally, is far faster and far less burdensome, enabling us to deliver our products to distributors and clients more
quickly and efficiently.
Investment Banking
Traditionally domestic and regional Islamic institutions have relied upon partnerships with bulge bracket firms for
product structuring expertise. In contrast, EIIB established itself as a credible product manufacturer in its own right
during 2013. The investment banking team executed a number of structuring and arranging mandates during the year
that showcased the bank‟s skill set in debt capital markets and structured debt finance.
In October 2013, we successfully acted as lead arranger and book runner for European-based multinational insurance
group FWU Group on their sukuk al-wakala programme. The first tranche of US$20 million was part of a US$100m
program and was rated “BBB-” by Fitch. This was a unique asset backed transaction involving a European corporate
issuing rated paper via the sukuk markets. The issue was recognized as the “Europe Deal of the Year” for 2013 at the
Islamic Finance News awards and helped the bank to win the award for “Best European Islamic Bank” at the Islamic
Business and Finance Awards 2013.
In parallel with developing cutting-edge solutions for our clients in sukuk, investment banking has been instrumental in
generating value for the bank through evaluating other investment opportunities. For example, during 2013, EIIB
arranged and participated in financings for the Channel Island Stock Exchange-listed investment company London
Central Apartments Limited and the Kuwaiti retail distributor Yusuf A. Al-Ghanim & Sons. Trade finance was another
area of focus, with investment banking working closely with asset management to structure the Rasmala Trade
Finance Fund.
EIIB‟s approach to investment banking aims to look beyond mere replication of conventional financing structures
through the application of Sharia‟a “wrappers” and other synthetic structures, and instead focuses on first principles of
Islamic finance. We see these products and services as being a growth area, particularly as capital from the GCC
region flows into the London market.
Exiting legacy investments
We maintained strong focus on our legacy private equity investments and balance sheet exposures during 2013.
We sold an Islamic debt obligation to Barclays Bank for £4.8m (US$8.1m). We completed the sale of an office building
in Cairo related to our discontinued Egyptian brokerage operations for US$6.2m and settled the related financing. And
we exchanged the majority of our capital in a NAVIS private equity fund (2012: £3.2m) for units in a public equities
open-ended fund managed by NAVIS offering quarterly liquidity (2013: £2.4m). The lock-up on redemptions for this
fund expired on 31 Dec 2013.
We continue to seek an orderly exit from our remaining legacy investments and are determined to optimise the returns
from our exits.
Market review
At the macro level, we believe that the markets of the GCC region continue to offer outstanding prospects. The GCC
countries have some of the highest growth rates in the world and a combination of sovereign wealth, the need for
increasing infrastructure spend, rising income, demographics and location will continue to ensure long-term growth.
10
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
In the short term, prospects for the GCC remain healthy. The IMF predicts GDP growth of 4.4% in 2014 for the GCC
overall, but more importantly higher non-oil GDP growth. This compares with their forecast of 3.7% Global GDP growth
and only 2.0% G7 growth. Dubai continues to recover from the 2008 downturn and is developing into a major financial
centre and cooperation between the UK and the UAE in particular continues to increase, including in areas of Islamic
finance.
In financial market terms, our view that during 2013 investors would increasingly seek dividend-yielding equity
investment opportunities, proved correct as global interest rates began to rise from record low levels, negatively
effecting fixed income, while Arab equity markets were some of the top performers globally.
We believe a rebound in confidence in the GCC will maintain momentum in 2014 and continue to favour equities,
however, we do not anticipate the same degree of abnormal returns as in 2013. New supply will be a feature of the
equities markets in 2014 with the return of IPOs. In addition the global index compiler MSCI has upgraded the United
Arab Emirates ("UAE") and Qatar to Emerging Market status from Frontier Market. Effective May 2014, the UAE and
Qatar will be given a weighting of 0.4 percent and 0.45 percent respectively in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. This
upgrade marks a new era for capital flows into the Gulf and is important for developing the region as a destination for
equity investment in the long term.
There is continued regional demand for sukuk and credit. We expect reasonable performance assuming the global
rates curve rises within current consensus expectations, as regional credit quality, and therefore spreads, continues to
improve.
Our strategy – going forward
The strategy approved for the period 2012-2016 was to restructure EIIB by exiting higher risk, longer term, private
equity investments and build more stable income streams by developing the Bank as a specialist asset management
and financing business. We also established a clear goal of positioning EIIB as a catalyst for consolidation in the GCC
asset management industry and to achieve a market leading position, with at least $3bn of assets under management,
by 2016.
We remain committed to our strategic plan as we move from restructuring to the growth phase. We will now focus on
product development, distribution capabilities, further strengthening of the team and strategic or bolt-on acquisitions as
appropriate.
Future developments
We believe that we have a solid investment banking and asset management offering in the GCC region.
EIIB is now well positioned to expand market share - the outlook is positive.
The Rasmala acquisition was the initial key to delivering our strategy. As we have now largely completed the
restructuring and increased our strategic stake to 76.3%, we are now upgrading our communications collateral to fully
reflect our offer and expect to complete this exercise by Q4 of 2014.
During the year management participated in an institutional road show to give presentations to analysts, fund
managers and potential investors. The road show resulted in new institutional shareholders joining the shareholder
register and it is anticipated that further road shows will take place in 2014.
EIIB plans to reduce its capital so as to facilitate distributions to shareholders in 2014 – subject to shareholder
approval. The bank is currently constrained in its ability to make distributions due to insufficient distributable reserves
and the Board will make a further announcement on proposed next steps in advance of the next Annual General
Meeting.

Acknowledgements
Over the last two years we have successfully repositioned the bank, thanks to a consistent and innovative business
strategy, quality execution provided by a strong Board and management team and supportive clients.
We believe the transformation of EIIB is on course and look forward to reporting further progress in the future.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

regulators in MENA jurisdictions. The Bank's competitive position is significantly enhanced by its geographic footprint in
London and the MENA region.
The Directors present the Operating and Financial Review for 2013. Having followed the framework set out in the
Accounting Standards Board Reporting Statement: Operating and Financial Review as a guide to best practice, the
Directors believe they have discharged their responsibilities under Section 417 of the Companies Act 2006 to provide a
balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the business.
Results
Total operating income in 2013 was £10.2m (2012: £3.9m). Profit before tax from continuing operations amounted to
£1.5m (2012: loss £10.1m).
Capital Adequacy
EIIB had total assets of £154m at 31 December 2013 (£172m at 31 December 2012). Regulatory capital resources of
the Group as at 31 December 2013 was £101m (£100m at 31 December 2012) and the total risk weighted assets was
£117m (£128m at 31 December 2012). The capital adequacy ratio as at 31 December 2013 stood at 86% (2012: 78%).

EIIB's balance sheet remains highly liquid. As at 31 December 2013, the net cash excess (calculated as a percentage
of deposits) was +40% (31 December 2012: +49%) in the 8 days and under category, and +60% (31 December 2012:

Business strategy
EIIB's business strategy is to develop as a specialist asset management and financing business, offering clients
bespoke solutions and operating between London and the growth markets of the GCC. We also established a clear
goal of positioning EIIB as a catalyst for consolidation in the GCC asset management industry and to achieve a market
leading position, with at least $3bn of assets under management, by 2016
Islamic finance
The key principles of Islamic finance are based on ethical real economy transactions, thus Islamic finance transactions

The Bank adheres to these principles.
The Bank's Sharia'a Supervisory Board (SSB), comprising eminent Islamic scholars, is tasked with monitoring and
certifying that all products and services are structured and executed to reflect these principles.
People
A significant differentiating factor for our business is our ability to attract talent. The post-acquisition integration of
Rasmala enabled a significant rationalisation of staff subsequent to which during the period, the Group started to add
to headcount, particularly in the sales function, as our strategy moved into its growth phase. During the period the
Directors believe that EIIB has been able to provide a stimulating environment and competitive remuneration structures
which has enabled the Bank to attract and retain staff of the highest calibre.
Operational
During the period the Bank has successfully restructured the operations of Rasmala and has created a more integrated
and scalable infrastructure. The Bank has put in place controls, systems and processes to enable the group to operate
more effectively as a whole and to protect and safeguard the Bank's assets. EIIB's Internal Audit framework, directed
by the Board's Audit Committee, is responsible for working with management to identify and quantify risk, provide
independent appraisals of systems of internal control, add value to business initiatives and support the maintenance of
a sound control culture throughout the Bank.
Key performance indicators
The Bank does not consider it meaningful to disclose numerical targets and performance indicators other than those
financial and Assets Under Management figures published in this report.

Wholesale Distribution Channels
We are increasing our visibility by opening new distribution channels. We believe there is great potential in forming
strategic partnerships with regional financial services providers and this has been the core focus of wholesale
distribution efforts in 2013. In particular we are building relationships with entities that offer Islamic insurance and
savings products (Sharia‟a Compliant Takaful and Re-Takaful) for promotion by Emirati based banks and IFAs to their
core banking/wealth management customers respectively. The market for packaged insurance and saving products is
growing rapidly in the Gulf, and these entities are well positioned to cooperate with Rasmala.
We also worked closely with existing distributors to identify new opportunities and add additional products to their
platforms.
Discretionary Portfolio Mandates
We increased both the number and size of our discretionary portfolio mandates (DPM) during 2013. Notably we won
new mandates from government institutions in Oman that we consider to be strategic.
In a clear vote of confidence in our investment performance and high levels of client servicing, existing DPM clients
increased the size of their portfolios with us during the year.
DPM funds provide the investment manager with the discretion to execute transactions within set parameters without
referring to the account owner.
New Fund Launches
In 2013, we continued to execute the product expansion plan we developed and set in motion in 2012. In May 2013,
we launched the Rasmala GCC Islamic Equity Income Fund with a seed capital of £6.7m (US$11m). The Fund‟s
investment performance has been impressive since its launch, returning 11.97%% since its launch until the end of the
year. The Fund‟s investment strategy is to offer investors semiannual distributions of equity dividends as well as the
potential for capital appreciation by investing in high dividend paying equity securities listed on the GCC stock
exchanges. We also launched in November, 2013, with seed capital commitment of £6.01 (US$10m), the Rasmala
15
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Trade Finance, a Sharia compliant open ended Fund providing investors with a low volatility money market alterative.
The Fund is targeting a return of 4% while providing investors with monthly liquidity.
These product launches build upon the 2012 newly launched products. In 2012 we launched the Rasmala Global
Sukuk Fund with initial seed capital of £15.5m (US$25m), and in December 2012, we launched the Rasmala Leasing
Fund, a Cayman Limited Partnership established to capture investment performance in the US leasing market, with a
£6.1m (US$10m) seed commitment. The Rasmala Leading Fund targets regular annual distributions of 12%, and an
IRR of 7% to 8% over the full life of the Fund. The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund includes sukuk exposures from
outside the GCC namely from Islamic Asia.
Strategically, these investment products allow us to capture the outbound investment flows from GCC investors to
investment opportunities in other geographies. We feel that there is a market opportunity for us to not only cater to
investor requirements in the MENA investment markets, but also to offer to our GCC client base unique, Sharia
compliant, investment products investing in international markets.
After establishing an initial track-record and portfolio for these funds in 2012 and 2013, the full marketing effort in 2013
allowed third-party money in these funds to increase.

Investment Banking
The investment banking team is specialized in Islamic banking products and services.
In October 2013, we successfully acted as lead arranger and book runner for our first sukuk following the repositioning,
for European-based multinational insurance group FWU Group. The US$20 million issue was part of a US$100m
program and was rated “BBB” by Fitch. We see such mid-market sukuk products and services as being a growth area
particularly as capital from the GCC region flows into the London market.
Summary
Our asset management business remains on a clear growth path aided by additional products in the platform and
additional focus on sales. Our investment performance and outstanding client servicing continues to attract AUMs from
new and established direct clients and via a broadening range of distribution channels.
With the launch of new Funds in 2013 and further expansion of Rasmala‟s product range planned in 2014, we are
confident that our asset management business will continue to flourish.
Our investment banking operation is well positioned to develop its debt capital markets and structured debt finance
business.

Legacy investments
Under EIIB's original business model the Bank focused on private equity investments and with limited focus on asset
management; success depended on the performance and realisation of Private Equity investments. However, despite
some initial success, these investments lacked a clear sector or geographic focus where our regional expertise could
add value and accordingly, under EIIB's revised strategy, the decision was made to exit these legacy investments.
Legacy assets consisted of a number of private equity investments and a financing arrangement:

Arcapita
On 12 February 2013 we announced the sale of 100% of our remaining exposure in Arcapita for £5.0m
(US$8.1m) in cash consideration. We held no exposure to Arcapita at year-end 2013.

Accelerator Technology Holdings
Accelerator Technology Holdings is a private equity company that invests in ventures specialising in the
information and communications technology value chain in the Arab world. Our exposure to Accelerator
Technology Holdings at year-end 2013 was recorded at £2.8m (2012: £2.7m).

Carian Bay
Carian Bay is a luxury residential and hospitality real estate development project based
exposure to Carian Bay at year-end 2013 was recorded at £1.4m (2012 £1.7m).

in
Turkey.
Our
DiamondCorp
DiamondCorp plc is an emerging diamond producer focused on maximising shareholder value through the
development of high-margin diamond production assets. Our exposure at year-end 2013 was recorded at
£2.8m (2012: £2.2m).

Rasmala Legacy PE Investments. At acquisition, Rasmala held stakes in three material private investments
arising from participations in pre-IPO placements to clients prior to the global financial crisis. The material
investments were equity in a Dubai based primary and secondary private schools operator, a Ras Al Khaimah
based E&P company with a controlling stake in DNO International (operates in the Kurdish region of Iraq) and
the equity in a Dubai based real estate developer of a single completed office/retail project in TECOM, Dubai.
Our exposure at year-end 2013 was recorded at £7.7m (2012: £6.7m).
Risk factors
EIIB's business model involves the taking of risk in return for reward. Our MENA regional focus offers opportunities for
outstanding returns but exposes us to a number of emerging market social, political and economic risks.
The Bank is exposed to market risk in relation to its assets and liabilities, credit risk from transactions with third parties,
particularly money market transactions, liquidity risk from liquidity mismatches and operational risk.
The effective management of risk is an essential part of our business and a key element in good corporate
governance. Strong risk management is fundamental to EIIB's culture. The Bank's approach to risk is documented in
various risk policies. Under these policies risk is monitored on a daily basis. Further details are reported in note 42 to
the Financial Statements on pages 81 to 95.
In terms of the Corporate Governance Code, the Board is responsible for risk. A Risk Appetite and Tolerance Policy
sets the parameters for risk taking. Systems and controls are in place to identify, measure, monitor and manage risk.
The responsibility for managing risks lies with senior management. The Risk Department facilitates this process and
monitors the effectiveness of the Bank's risk management processes.
17
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
The Board Risk Committee (BRC) has overall responsibility for ensuring the Bank's Risk Policies are implemented.
Key Elements
The key elements of our risk management framework are:







setting the Risk Management strategy and philosophy;
defining the business risk appetite and tolerances;
identification and quantification of risks;
evaluation of identified risks;
managing identified risks;

business continuity planning.
Key risks
The Bank is exposed mainly to credit risk, market risk, operational risk and liquidity risk.
Further details on the Bank's approach to risk management are included in Note 42 to the Financial Statements on

COMPLIANCE WITH THE UK CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
The Board considers that good corporate governance is central to achieving the Bank‟s objectives and has applied
these principles in drawing up the Bank‟s risk management framework taking into consideration The UK Corporate
Governance Code June 2010 published by the Financial Reporting Council (“The Code”).
THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Bank is led by a Board comprising Non-Executive and Executive Directors with significant experience in financial
services and deep relationships in the MENA region. The appointment of Directors is considered by the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee and then the Board. Following the provisions in the Articles of Association, all NonExecutive Directors must stand for re-election by the shareholders at the first Annual General Meeting following their
appointment and must also stand for re-election by the shareholders, at least every three years. Executive Directors
normally retire at age 65, as required by their service agreements. Non-Executive Directors are appointed for threeyear renewable terms, which may be terminated by giving three months notice.
The Board is required to meet at least four times a year; in 2013 there were six Board meetings. The Board has a
programme designed to enable the Directors to review corporate strategy and the operations and results of the

investments and disposals; the organisational structure of the Bank; the arrangements for ensuring that the Bank
manages risk effectively; any significant change in accounting policies or practices; the appointment of the Bank‟s main
professional advisers; and the appointment of senior executives within the organisation.

those relating to credit, liquidity, operational and market risk, within an agreed framework.
All Directors have access to the services of the Company Secretary, and independent professional advice is available
to the Directors at the Bank‟s expense, where they judge it necessary to discharge their duties as Directors.
The Board reviews and approves its composition and charter in order to set the risk management framework of the
Bank at least annually. To assist the Board in executing its functions, it reviews and approves the composition and
charters of the following Board sub-committees:
AUDIT COMMITTEE

comprises John Wright (Chairman) and Mohammed Al Sarhan. In discharging its duties, the committee is required to

name of the Board and the quality and acceptability of the related accounting policies, practices and financial reporting
disclosures; the scope of work of the internal auditor, reports from the internal auditor and the adequacy of their
resources; the effectiveness of the systems for internal control, risk management and compliance with financial

the Board at the conclusion of his or her specified term; the re-election of any Director by the shareholders under the

are considered by the Board and appropriate steps agreed and implemented to remedy any areas of deficiency or
concern.

European Islamic Investment Bank plc
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 Group and Parent company financial statements
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent company financial statements for each financial year.
As required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange they are required to prepare the Group financial
statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare the Parent
company financial statements on the same basis.
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 Group and Parent company and of their profit or loss for that period. In
preparing each of the Group and Parent company 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
group and the parent company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the
Parent company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Parent
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 Group and
to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Principal activities, definitions and authorisation of the financial statements
European Islamic Investment Bank plc („EIIB‟ or „Bank‟ or „Company‟) is a London listed specialist investment banking

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the Bank

The following terms are used in the financial statements:

assets stated at their fair value comprising available-for-sale securities, financial assets designated at fair value and
fair value of foreign exchange agreements, investment properties, and assets and liabilities held for sale.
As permitted by section s.408 of the Companies Act 2006 the income statement of the parent entity is not presented as
part of the financial statements. The parent entity‟s loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2013 was £178,235
(2012: loss £10,086,141).
2.2 Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union.

2.3 New accounting policy, disclosures and changes to the accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied
by the Group in its financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.
2.4 Accounting for business combinations
The Group has adopted IFRS 3, Business Combinations and IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements for
consolidation of Group entities.
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are currently exercisable. The
acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the
acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
The Group measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, less the net recognised amount of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date.
The Group measures non-controlling interest at its proportionate share of the recognised amount at fair value of the
identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
2.5 Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements of the Bank comprise the financial statements of the European Islamic
Investment Bank plc and the entities the Bank controls. Control exists where the Bank has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Controlled entities are
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank and they are deconsolidated from the date the
control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
Associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and
operating policies. Investments that are held as part of the Group's investment portfolio are carried in the balance sheet
at fair value even though the Group may have significant influence over those companies. This treatment is permitted
by IAS 28 Investment in Associates, which requires private equity type investments to be excluded from its scope
where those investments are designated, upon initial recognition, as at fair value through profit or loss and accounted
for in accordance with IAS 39. Changes in fair value of these investments are recognised in the income statement in
the period of the change. The Group has no interests in associates through which it carries on its business.
Assets under management
The Group manages assets held in Funds and other investment vehicles on behalf of investors. The financial
statements of these entities are not included in these consolidated financial statements unless these qualify as
subsidiaries or associates. Information about the Group‟s assets under management is set out in note 32.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains arising from inter-company transactions, are
eliminated in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
2.6 Determination and presentation of operating segments
The Group has adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments as of 1 January 2009. This Standard requires the presentation of
36
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
financial information for segments based on information that is internally presented to the decision making function for
the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. An operating segment is a component of the Group
that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses.
2.7 Presentation of financial statements
The Group has applied IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as of 1 January
2009.
2.8 Disclosure pertaining to fair values and liquidity risk for financial instruments
The Group has applied Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 7) issued in March
2009, that require enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk in respect of financial
instruments.
The amendments require that fair value measurement disclosures use a three-level fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in measuring fair values of financial instruments. Specific disclosures are required when
fair value measurements are categorised as Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) in the fair value hierarchy. The
amendments require that any significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy be disclosed
separately, distinguishing between transfers into and out of each level. Furthermore, changes in valuation techniques
from one period to another, including the reasons therefore, are required to be disclosed for each class of financial
instruments.
Disclosures in respect of fair values of assets are included in note 41.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Disclosures in respect of liquidity risk are included in note 42.5
2.9 New standards and interpretations effective for the year
New standards and interpretations to existing standards which have been published by IASB and IFRIC which the
bank has adopted this year are:
IFRS 10

The Group anticipates that the accounting pronouncements (not yet adopted by the EU), which have not been early
adopted will have no material effect on the financial statements except for IFRS 9 and 12. The Group is currently in the
process of evaluating the potential effect of these standards.
*for financial periods starting on or after this date
2.11 Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgments, 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 estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The most significant are
set out below.
2.11.1 Goodwill
The carrying value of goodwill is determined in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IAS 36
Impairment of Assets. Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, and represents
the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the Group‟s share of the assets
acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed on the date of the acquisition.
Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there are indications that impairment may have
occurred. The test involves comparing the carrying value of goodwill with the present value of the pre-tax cash flows,
discounted at a rate of interest that reflects the inherent risks, of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill relates,
or the cash generating unit‟s fair value if this is higher. Please see note 2.11.4 for further details.
2.11.2 Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing
parties in an arm's length transaction on the measurement date.
When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that
instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and
regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.
If a market for a financial instrument is not active, the Group establishes fair value using a valuation technique.
Valuation techniques include using recent arm's length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties (if
available), reference to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow
analysis and option pricing models. The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs, relies as
little as possible on estimates specific to the Group, incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in
setting a price, and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Inputs to
valuation techniques reasonably represent market expectations and measures of the risk-return factors inherent in the
financial instrument. The Group calibrates valuation techniques and tests them for validity using prices from
observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on other available observable
market data.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price, i.e., the fair
value of the consideration given or received, unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with
other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e., without modification or repackaging) or
based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. When transaction price
provides the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition, the financial instrument is initially measured at the
transaction price and any difference between this price and the value initially obtained from a valuation model is
subsequently recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but not later than when
38
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
the valuation is supported wholly by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.
Assets and long positions are measured at a bid price; liabilities and short positions are measured at an asking price.
Where the Group has positions with offsetting risks, mid-market prices are used to measure the offsetting risk
positions and a bid or asking price adjustment is applied only to the net open position as appropriate. Fair values
reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity
and the counterparty where appropriate. Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors,
such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties, to the extent that the Group believes a third-party market participant would
take them into account in pricing a transaction.
The Directors consider the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at amortised cost to be materially equal
to the carrying value of those assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013.
2.11.3 Provisions for impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets are impaired. A
financial asset or a group of financial assets is/are impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event
has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset/s, and that the loss event has an impact on the future cash flows
of the asset/s that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include significant financial difficulty of the borrower or
issuer, default or delinquency by a borrower, restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group
would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an
active market for a security, or other observable data relating to a group of assets such as adverse changes in the
payment status of borrowers or issuers in the group, or economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the group.
In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is
objective evidence of impairment.
The Group considers evidence of impairment for assets carried at amortised cost at specific asset level. All individually
significant assets carried at amortised cost are assessed for specific impairment.
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 estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective
profit rate. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. Profit on impaired
assets continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the
amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale investment securities are recognised by transferring the cumulative loss that
has been recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. The cumulative
loss that is reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition
cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously
recognised in profit or loss. Changes in impairment provisions attributable to time value are reflected as a component
of profit income.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can
be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment
loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the
fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group
writes off certain investment securities when they are determined to be uncollectible.
2.11.4 Impairment of other non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group'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.
For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable
amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less
39
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest
group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of
other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit" or "CGU"). Subject to an operating segment ceiling test,
for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so the
the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting
purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the combination.
The Group's corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset
may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first
to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount of the
other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.
In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. 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.
2.11.5 Income tax
The Group is subject to direct and indirect taxation in a number of jurisdictions in which it operates. Some transactions
and calculations for which a tax charge or asset is computed have an inherent uncertainty given the judgements
involved. The Group objectively estimates these amounts and any difference in the final determination will impact the
period in which such determination is made.
2.12 Other significant accounting policies
2.12.1 Foreign currency
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Bank‟s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the functional currency at the
rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Sterling at the
effective historical rate used on the date of initial recognition. All differences are taken to the income statement.
2.12.2 Revenue recognition
(a)
Net Margin
Sukuk, murabaha and wakala income and expense
Sukuk, murabaha and wakala are Islamic financing transactions. Sukuk are certificates of equal value
representing undivided shares in ownership of tangible assets, usufruct and services or (in the ownership of) the
assets of particular projects or special investment activities. Murabaha is a contract for sale or purchase of goods
where there is an agreed mark-up and deferred settlement. Wakala derives income and expense in the form of
agency fee or commission. Income and expense for these arrangements are recognised on an effective yield
basis over the periods of the contracts. The calculation of income and expense include any fees and incremental
costs that are directly attributable to the financial instrument and are an integral part of the purchase or sale.
40
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
(b)
Net fees and commission income
(i) Investment management fees, performance fees, brokerage fees, placement fees and other advisory fees are
recognised on accrual basis, when the related services are performed and when it is probable that the economic
benefit will flow to the Bank
(ii) Fees and commissions which are not recognised on an effective yield basis over the life of the financial
instrument to which they relate, such as fees for negotiating transactions for third parties and underwriting fees
and commission, are recognised in revenue when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Bank.
This will normally be from the point at which the act to which the fees and commissions relate has been
completed.
(c)
Net fees and commission income
Trading income
Trading income consists of realised profits and losses on sukuk and equity available-for-sale securities.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive income is established. Dividends are reflected as a
component of net investment income, net income on other financial instruments at fair value or other operating
income, based on the underlying classification of the equity instrument
2.12.3 Cash and cash equivalents
The captions Cash and cash equivalents and Cash and balances with banks represent cash and current account
balances with banks and clearing exchanges.
2.12.4 Financial instruments
(a) Recognition of financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet on the trade date, that is, the date on which the Bank
commits to buy or sell the financial instrument. All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. In the case
of financial instruments not recognised at fair value through the income statement, that value will include direct costs of
acquisition or issue. For financial instruments carried at fair value through the income statement, transaction costs are
expensed immediately.
(b)
Due from financial institutions, Financing arrangements, Due to financial institutions, Due to group
entities and Due to customers
Financial assets included within Due from financial institutions and Financing arrangements, as well as financial
liabilities included within Due to financial institutions, Due to group entities and Due to customers comprise nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not
entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not designed as „available-for-sale securities‟
or „financial assets designated at fair value‟. Financial assets included under these captions are initially recognised at
fair value plus any directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost less any
impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees and costs that are an integral part of the effective rate of return. The amortisation is included in Income from
financing and investing activities and Returns to financial institutions and customers in the income statement.
At each reporting date the Bank reviews the carrying values of its financial assets; a financial asset is considered to be
impaired if there is objective evidence of events since initial recognition of the asset that will adversely affect the
amount or timing of future cash flows from the asset. The amount of the impairment loss will be the difference between
the carrying value of the financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The amount of the
impairment loss will be recognised in the income statement, and the carrying value of the financial asset will be written
down and the impairment loss allowance will be recognised in a reserve for that purpose. Where subsequent events
indicate that the impairment loss allowance is not required, or not required in full, the loss allowance made will be
reversed.

European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
(c) Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale („AFS‟) securities are investments that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as
another category of financial assets. These include sukuk and quoted equity.
AFS securities are recognised at cost at the point of acquisition or at fair value which is considered cost for assets
transferred from other IAS 39 classifications. Cost on acquisition is considered as the fair value of the investment
including any acquisition charges. AFS securities are then carried in the balance sheet at fair value. Income accruals
on AFS securities are recognised in the income statement. Changes in the fair value are recognised directly in equity in
the Fair value reserve in the accounting period in which they arise. Where the value of a security is considered to be
impaired, the losses are recognised in the income statement; otherwise, the gains and losses previously recognised in
equity are recognised through the income statement when the investment matures or is sold; these are included under
Trading income. Fair value gains and losses are recognised in equity net of any tax effect.
(d) Financial assets designated at fair value
Quoted equity investments, investment in funds and private equity investments that are managed and evaluated on a
fair value basis in accordance with an agreed investment strategy and reported to key personnel on that basis are
classified under this category. These assets are recognised initially at fair value and subsequent gains and losses
arising from changes in the fair value are recognised directly in the income statement.
Financial assets classified in this category are designated by management on initial recognition given that the financial
assets are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management or investment strategy.
(e) Foreign exchange commitments
The valuation of forward foreign exchange commitments held at fair value through the income statement is recognised
in the balance sheet under Fair value of foreign exchange agreements on either the asset or liability side of the
balance sheet dependent on whether the valuation is positive or negative respectively. Revaluation gains and losses
are included in the income statement under Foreign exchange gains and losses.
2.12.5 Investments in subsidiaries in Parent‟s books
The Bank‟s investments in subsidiaries are designated for recognition and measurement in the financial statements as
„fair value through income statement‟. Accordingly these assets are fair valued using suitable valuation techniques and
the gain or loss is included in the income statement of the parent entity.
2.12.6 Investment property
Investment properties are held either to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties
are measured at fair value with any change therein recognised in the consolidated statement of income.
Fair value measurement
The determination of fair values of investment properties are based on valuation by an independent professional
valuer. The fair value of investment reflects the current prices for similar property in the same location and condition.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property and equipment, its fair value at the date of
reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
2.12.7 Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. Depreciation is
provided on a straight line basis over estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements
Motor vehicles
Fixtures, fittings and office equipment

2.12.8 Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of computer licences and software development costs including capitalised staff costs.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses if any. Amortisation is
provided on a straight line basis over a current estimated useful life of five years.
2.12.9 Operating leases
Operating lease rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.12.10 Pension cost
The Bank operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all staff. The cost of the scheme is equal to the
contributions payable to the scheme for the accounting period and is recognised within Staff costs in the income
statement. The Bank has no further obligation once the contributions have been paid.
2.12.11 Share-based payments
EIIB engaged in equity settled share based transactions in respect of services received from certain of its employees.
The fair value of the services received is measured by reference to the fair value of the shares or the share options
granted on the date of the grant. The cost of the employee services received in respect of the shares or share options
granted is recognised in the income statement with the corresponding credit to the „share based payment reserve‟ over
the period that the services are received, which is the vesting period.
Employee share incentive plan 2010 (2010 ESIP)
The value of options granted under this scheme were determined using option pricing models, which takes into
account the exercise price of the option, the current share price, the risk free rate of return, the expected volatility of the
share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors.
2.12.12 Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in shareholders‟ equity, in which case it is recognised in
shareholders‟ equity.
(a) Current tax
Current tax is provided on taxable profits at the current rate.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the
balance sheet and the amount attributed to such assets and liabilities for tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that
future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
2.13 Assets and liabilities held for sale
Assets and liabilities held for sale comprises assets and liabilities that are classified as held-for-sale or the distribution
of such is highly probable such that they will be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through
continuing use.
Immediately before classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal
group, are re-measured in accordance with the Group‟s other accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal
43
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements

group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no
loss is allocated to financial assets, employee benefits assets or investment property, which continue to be measured
in accordance with the Group‟s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on re-measurement are recognised in
profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution, intangible assets, and property and equipment are no longer
amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
2.14 Going concern
In approving the financial statements the Directors have reviewed the current and potential future business activities
and financial position of the Group, including an assessment of the capital adequacy and liquidity forecasts.
EIIB had total assets of £154m at 31 December 2013 (£172m at 31 December 2012). Regulatory capital resources of
the Group as at 31 December 2013 was £101m (£100m at 31 December 2012) and the total risk weighted assets was
£117m (£128m at 31 December 2012). The capital adequacy ratio as at 31 December 2013 stood at 86% (2012: 78%).
The balance sheet of EIIB remains highly liquid. As at 31 December 2013, the net cash excess (calculated as a
percentage of deposits) is +40% (31 December 2012: +49%) in the 8 days and under category, and +60% (31
December 2012: +60%) in the 1 month and under category, against minimum requirements of 0% and -5%
respectively.
Based upon the above, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in business for
the foreseeable future. For this reason the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements.

Segmental information
The Bank focuses on MENA markets and for 2013 centred on the following three core businesses:
(a) Investment Banking – encompassing provision of financing, debt capital market, structured debt finance,
investing in funds and Islamic products.
(b) Asset Management – investment management solutions encompassing equities, fixed income and real
estate; and business advisory services.
(c) Private Equity – includes a diversified portfolio of legacy assets
These core business lines were the Group‟s strategic business units („SBU‟). Each SBU offers different products and
services, and was managed separately based on the Group‟s management and internal reporting structure. SBU
activities are monitored by the Bank‟s management committees and the Board which is provided with internal
management reports on a monthly basis.
Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on
segment profit before tax and is reviewed by Group executive management and the board of directors. Segment
results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

**Deferred tax assets of £8.1m (2012: £9.1m) on tax losses carried forward of £40.6m (2012: £39.5m) are not
recognised in these financial statements given the current level of uncertainty surrounding the Bank‟s future taxable
profits. Deferred tax assets on the UK tax losses are computed at 20%.
Factors that may affect future current and total tax charge
The main rate of UK corporation tax fell from 24% to 23% with effect from 1 April 2013. Further reductions in the rate
from 23% to 21%, to take effect from 1 April 2014 and from 21% to 20%, to take effect from 1 April 2015, was
substantively enacted on 2 July 2013 and it is this rate (20%) that has been applied in calculating the Group‟s
unrecognised deferred tax assets as at 31 December 2013.
It has not been possible to fully quantify the effect of these further rate reductions because of the uncertainty over the
timing of suitable future profits against which the company‟s losses may be offset. It is expected, however, that these
changes will reduce both any future current tax charge and the Group's unrecognised deferred tax assets.

Earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the gain or loss for the year by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The agreement to issue further shares as part of the consideration for the
Rasmala acquisition as described in note 38.1 has resulted in dilution of shares during 2012. These shares were
settled in 2013. Income or loss after tax and discontinued operations attributed to the equity holders of the Bank is
used as the numerator for computing the EPS.

The Group‟s fund portfolio represents its investment in various open-ended and closed-ended schemes specialising in
Asian, MENA and USA based public and private equities and fixed income products. The main objectives of all these
funds are medium to long-term capital appreciation and periodic income generation.
These include high quality stocks, sukuk and other fixed income products. All investments are prudently diversified by
issuer, sector, geography and duration.
The Bank disposed its interest in Rasmala Leasing Fund (“RLF”) on 31 April 2014. RLF is classified as an entity held
for sale in 2013 (note 21).
The fixed income fund figure for 2012 includes an amount which had previously being incorrectly classified as available
for sale securities. Fair value movement had been accounted for as fair value through profit and loss, so there is no
impact on consolidated income statement.

Term facilities of subsidiary
(a) Commercial Bank of Dubai - £24.7m facility
Rasmala had obtained a revolving term facility from Commercial Bank of Dubai (“CBD”), amounting to £24.7m, for the
purpose of acquiring companies and developing projects. £16.7m of this facility was drawn down by year end 2011 and
£6.2m was repaid in January 2012 with the funds made available by EIIB on acquisition of Rasmala.
The following were the principal terms of the facility:
 a variable interest rate cost based on 3-month LIBOR + 3.5% with a minimum interest cost of 4.5%;
 the debt to equity ratio for acquisition of companies or projects to be 75:25 ;
 the loan was to be repaid in semi-annual instalments over four years commencing 2 years after each drawdown
date; and
 loan repayments had been deferred until December 2011, at which time the remaining semi-annual instalments for
why each drawdown should have resumed.
On 26 January 2012, Rasmala repaid £6.2m to CBD and renegotiated the terms of the rest of the outstanding facility of
£10.5m. The significant changes made during the renegotiation were as follows:


a revised variable cost of 6-month LIBOR, without minimum; and
repayment commenced from June 2013 (six semi-annual instalments of £1.7m each until December 2015)
(b) First Gulf Bank - £3.3m
During 2012, the loan from First Gulf Bank (“FGB”) was cleared through a repayment of £2.9m and a loan waiver
amounting to £0.3m.

Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
38.1 Acquisition of a controlling stake in Rasmala Holdings Limited (“Rasmala”)
Rasmala is the Holding Company of a financial services group operating in the Middle East, specialising in asset
management. Rasmala Investment Bank Limited was one of the first regional investment banks to be licensed by the
Dubai Financial Services Authority.
On the 5th January 2012, EIIB acquired a majority (67%) of management shares (the "Management Shares") in
Rasmala. Rasmala Holding Limited‟s constitution provides that the holders of the Management Shares have the right
to appoint the majority of directors to the board of Rasmala. These management shares provide the basis for control,
however EIIB‟s percentage holding for consolidation of Rasmala is dependent on its ordinary share holding as detailed
in the paragraph below (31 Dec 2013: 76.3% and 31 Dec 2012: 56.8%). The consideration payable £3.6m (US$5.5m)
in respect of the management shares is to be satisfied over a period of up to two years by the issue of new ordinary
shares of EIIB ("EIIB Shares") of 1 pence each issued at a price of 3.6 pence per share. EIIB issued 13,440,860 (note
29) and 40,681,003 (note 29) ordinary shares (total value £2.0m) respectively in 2012 and 2013 and made cash
settlement of £1.6m to settle the total liability (£3.6m). These shares were admitted to trading on AIM during
September 2012 and April and July 2013 (note 29). This represents 2.82% of total EIIB shares.
EIIB also extended a convertible financing facility of £10.4m (US$16m) to Rasmala, with a maturity of 12 months from
5 January 2012. The financing facility was convertible into newly issued ordinary shares in Rasmala Holdings Limited
("Rasmala Shares"). EIIB converted this financing facility into 123 million Rasmala Shares, representing 56.8%, during
June 2012.
EIIB further acquired 6.9m of ordinary shares in Rasmala from a single corporate shareholder. The agreement
between EIIB and the company provides that during the two year period from 5th January 2012 EIIB has the option to
sell all of the holding acquired under this agreement to the company, for the original consideration, if the loan notes are
redeemed or an offer has been made by EIIB to acquire the entire shareholding of Rasmala. If the option is not
exercised, during the two year period, EIIB will transfer these shares back to the company at the expiry of the two year
period at the same price. This arrangement is not considered to be „sale‟ of shares in accordance with IAS 39.AG 50
as the seller continues to hold the risks and rewards of the ordinary shares for the two year period. The acquisition of
these shares was therefore ignored in arriving at the total purchase consideration. These shares were transferred back
to the company upon the full settlement of the £3.6m consideration payable.
The total Comprehensive income and loss for the periods in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
since the acquisition date contributed by Rasmala amounted to a loss of £0.4m in 2013 and a loss of £1.6m in 2012.
38.2 Additional acquisition of Rasmala Non-Controlling Interest
On 23 December 2013 EIIB acquired a further 42,307,982 of Rasmala shares for a consideration of 152,308,735 EIIB
ordinary shares (note 29). The value of these shares was assessed by the management at £5,711,578 which
represents a price of 3.75p per share. With this further acquisition EIIB currently holds 165,479,652 of Rasmala‟s total
ordinary shares that represents 76.3% of its total shares.
The carrying values of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the change in interests in the
subsidiary. The resulting £3,451,723 difference between the value of consideration paid, of £5,711,578 and the value
of consideration received from Non-controlling Interest, of £2,259,854 is recognised directly in equity and attributed to
the owners of the Bank. No adjustment is made to the goodwill and no loss is recognised in the consolidated income
statement.

Goodwill created on the Rasmala acquisition is principally attributable to the value expected to be derived from the
acquired group through future growth, additional business from new clients and the operational synergies and savings
derived therefrom.
During the year it was identified that Rasmala‟s non-controlling interest computation was overstated due to error in a
pre-acquisition period. This was adjusted in the current year financial statements of the Group. The resulting
adjustment has reduced the Goodwill and the corresponding non-controlling interest by £ 1.2m.
The 2012 consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, Investment in
subsidiary, goodwill and other respective notes in these financials statement are restated to reflect this change.
38.4 Goodwill recognised on acquisition

Under IFRS 3, a measurement period of up to one year can be utilised to assess the valuation of net assets acquired
as a result of the acquisition. There has been no reassessment of the net assets during this period.
38.5 Impairment testing of goodwill
Testing goodwill for impairment involves a significant amount of estimation. This includes the identification of
independent cash generating units and the allocation of goodwill to these units based on which units are expected to
benefit from the acquisition. The allocation is reviewed following business reorganisation. Cashflow projections
necessarily take into account changes in the market in which a business operates including the level of growth,
competitive activity and the impacts of regulatory change. Determining both the expected pre-tax cashflows and the
risk adjusted interest rate appropriate to the operating unit require the exercise of judgement. The estimation of pre-tax
cashflows is sensitive to the periods for which detailed forecasts are available and to assumptions regarding the long
term sustainable cashflows.
No impairment charges were recognised during the year.
Key assumptions
The key assumptions used for impairment testing of goodwill created on the acquisition of Rasmala are stated below.



Rasmala Group together with its subsidiaries was considered to be one cash generating unit („CGU‟)
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined using cashflow predictions based on financial budgets
approved by management and covering a five-year period, with a terminal growth rate of 2.5% applied thereafter
The forecast cashflows have been discounted at a pre-tax rate of 10.9%
Based on these assumptions, the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount.
Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions above would not cause the
recoverable amount of the Goodwill to the fall below the balance sheet carrying value.

Valuation of assets measured at fair value
The Group's accounting policy on fair value measurements is discussed in note 2.11.2 .
The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used
in making the measurements:
Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.
derived from prices)
This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar
instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active;
or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs
This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable
data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes
instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable
adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market
prices or dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments the Group determines fair values using valuation
techniques.
Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison to similar instruments for
which market observable prices exist and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation
techniques include risk-free and benchmark rate of returns, credit spreads and other premia used in estimating
discount rates, bond and equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and net asset valuations. The objective of
valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value determination that reflects the price of the financial instrument at the
reporting date that would have been determined by market participants acting at arm's length.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework
includes independent price verification and reporting by the Group‟s Risk department to the Chief Executive Officer,
and the Group‟s Risk and Audit committees. The Risk department has overall responsibility for independently verifying
the transactions, assets and all significant fair value measurements.
The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, by the level in
the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised.

Although the Group believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or
assumptions could lead to different measures of fair value. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or
more of the assumptions used, to reasonably possible alternative assumptions would have the following effects:

Risk management
42.1 Introduction
The Board of Directors have set an overall risk framework in line with risk appetite, documented within a set of risk
management policies which are approved by the Board or mandated risk committees. Ultimate responsibility for risk
resides with the Board of Directors.
The Bank is exposed mainly to credit risk, market risk, operational risk and liquidity risk.
(1)
Structure
The Board of Directors is ultimately accountable for risk within the Bank and for ensuring a strong control environment.
The Board has mandated a number of committees tasked with managing and monitoring risks within the Bank.
(a) Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk management and for approving the risk appetite, tolerances,
strategies and principles.
(b) Board Risk Committee (“BRC”)
The BRC is a sub-committee of the Board of Directors which assists the Board in fulfilling its risk management
responsibilities from day to day. The committee‟s responsibilities include advising on risk strategy, providing oversight
and challenge supporting a risk culture, reviewing and approving risk policies and assessing, reviewing, and approving
all exposures that are within its delegated authority.
(c)
Risk Management Committee (“RMC”)
The RMC assists the Executive Management Committee and the Board of Directors in managing and controlling risk in
all areas of the Bank, through proactive identification, measurement, evaluation, control, monitoring, and reporting of:




Credit risk
Market risk
Operational risk including other residual risks
Liquidity risk
(d) Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”)
The ALCO is constituted to assist the Executive Management Committee and the Board in proactively managing the
capital, liquidity, assets and liabilities of the Bank. It is also mandated to manage the risk-reward relationship that exists
between solvency, liquidity and profit rate risk.
(e) Internal Audit
Internal Audit‟s primary role is to provide assurance to the Audit Committee and the Board that the risk management,
internal control, corporate governance and other key business processes and controls, as appropriate, are operating
effectively and meeting the ongoing and changing needs of the Bank. This includes providing management with
independent appraisals of systems of internal control and supporting development of a sound control culture
throughout the Bank.
81
European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
(2)
Measurement and reporting
The risks within the Bank are assessed using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Losses are calculated using
assumptions based on consideration of the economic environment in which the Bank operates, stress scenarios and
conditions in the Islamic banking market.
Risk is managed by a set of comprehensive limits, triggers and processes. These reflect the business strategy, risk
appetite and market environment in which the Bank operates and its overall risk capacity in relation to capital and
regulatory requirements set by the UK Regulatory Authorities.
Information is compiled by the Risk department from all business areas and is then presented to the Executive
Management Committee and Board on a monthly basis. The Risk Report includes detailed reporting of credit
exposures by internal ratings, geographical regions, industry sectors, asset maturities, liquidity, and market risk
exposures for profit rates, foreign exchange, money and capital market instruments and the results of the stress tests.
Daily reports on credit exposures and market risks are compiled and distributed by the Risk department to senior
management.
(3)
Risk mitigation
Risk mitigants are used where possible. However the Bank cannot use conventional derivative products to mitigate
risk. Consequently as part of its overall risk management framework the Bank utilises Sharia‟a compliant products to
hedge currency risk and profit rate risk.
(4)
Concentration risk
Concentration risk arises when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the
same geographic regions, or have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual
obligations to be similarly affected by a change in economic, political or other conditions.
In order to avoid excessive concentration risk the Bank has specific guidelines and limits in place to restrict large
exposure to Group, Obligor, Country and Industry sector exposures.
(5)
Basel 3
A number of regulatory changes were introduced during 2013 as EU Regulations and Directives. The phasing in
period is from 2014 until 2019. The changes are designed to:



Improve the quantity and quality of capital resources;
Limit leverage;
Improve liquidity management.
Although certain of the Basel III definitions and requirements have not yet been finalised and implemented, the
provisional capital and liquidity requirements are being monitored. The Bank is of the opinion that it will be Basel III
compliant without the need for additional capital and liquidity resources.

At 31 December 2013
42.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Bank‟s customers, clients or counterparties will not be able or willing to repay capital
and/or profit or otherwise be unable to meet their contractual obligations under credit facilities or in respect of other
agreements.
The Bank has a standard credit approval process for all customers, clients and counterparties and all are assigned an
internal risk rating. Exposures are subject to regular review. All exposures are allocated to a country within a preapproved country limit.

Sensitivity to income
Profit rate risk is managed within profit rate gap limits on a daily basis. The sensitivity of the Income Statement to
various profit rate scenarios is considered on a daily basis. An analysis of sensitivity to an increase or decrease in
market profit rates, assuming no asymmetrical movement in yield curves and a constant financial position, is as follows

42.3.2 Currency Risk
Currency risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Board has set limits on open
currency positions and these positions are monitored daily to ensure positions are maintained within the established
limits.
The Bank does not take significant currency positions as all positions other than the reporting currency are
substantially covered. Small residual currency exposures remain which are well within the Board approved limits.

42.3.3 Equities Risk
Equities risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in equity prices. No direct equity exposures were held as at 31
December 2013 (2012: none). Investments are made in equity funds from time to time. Exposure comprises indirect
exposure to a portfolio of equities held by a fund which is separately managed and administered.
42.3.4 Commodities Risk
Commodities risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in commodity prices. No commodities were held during 2013
(2012: none). Investments are made in trade finance funds from time to time. Exposure to a trade finance fund may
include indirect exposure to commodities held by a fund which is separately managed and administered.

European Islamic Investment Bank plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
42.4 Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed systems, human error and fraud, processes and
external events. Operational risks can result in damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications or lead to
financial loss. The Bank has implemented a control framework to mitigate these risks.
Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff education
and assessment processes, including the use of internal audit. Risk registers and matrices have been developed for
each department which form part of a quality self-assessment process.
42.5 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. To limit this risk
the Bank manages the maturities of its assets and liabilities and its cash flows on a daily basis and maintains a
portfolio of short-term bank deposits. Liquidity risk management is the responsibility of ALCO.
An Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment (ILAA) is performed on an annual basis or more frequently in the event of
material changes. A liquidity buffer is maintained and monitored on a daily basis.

42.6 Capital management and risk (unaudited)
The Group‟s lead regulator, the Prudential Regulatory Authority (“PRA”) (previously the Financial Services Authority
(“FSA”)) sets and monitors capital requirements for the Group. The Group complies with the regulatory framework in
respect of regulatory capital. To calculate capital requirements the Group uses the “standardised approach” for credit
risk, the “standardised approach” for market risk and the “basic indicator approach” for operational risk.
The Group‟s capital comprises ordinary share capital, share premium, capital redemption reserve, special reserve,
accumulated losses and fair value reserve subject to other regulatory adjustments. All banking operations are
categorised as „Banking book‟ business and accordingly the risk-weighted assets are calculated to reflect the varying
levels of risks attached to assets.
The Group‟s primary objective and policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, depositor and
market confidence. The Group has complied with all regulatory capital requirements throughout the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements
At 31 December 2013
The PRA‟s approach to regulatory capital maintenance requirements is primarily based on monitoring the relationship
of the minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement to available capital resources. The PRA also requires each bank to
assess its own capital requirements in excess of the minimum Capital Requirement in terms of the Internal Capital
Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The ICAAP process is reviewed by the PRA which issues Individual Capital
Guideline for each bank.
