Dr Gibson Manyowa Mandishona, the acting Chairman of NMBZ Holdings, said:

'The Group returned to profitability in the second half of the year.  This was
buttressed by a well supported rights issue in November 2005, which raised net
proceeds of Z$60 billion that enhanced the Bank's capacity.  The resilience of
the business model and the continuing support from stakeholders, especially
customers, should assist with the considerable challenges in the year ahead'.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The year under review was characterized by

•         Rising inflation for most of the year
•         Increased money supply growth
•         High domestic debt
•         Rising interest rates
•         Persistent foreign currency shortages
•         Continued concessionary lending



GROUP INFLATION ADJUSTED RESULTS

Introduction

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's)
promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the Group
continues to prepare its results using hyperinflationary accounting with
historical results being provided as a supplement.  Unless otherwise stated,
figures in this statement are inflation adjusted.

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

The existence of hyperinflation as defined by International Accounting Standard
(IAS) 29 was formally identified in Zimbabwe by the Zimbabwe Accounting
Practices Board, which decided that IAS 29 would be applied for financial
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2000.  Consequently, these results have
been prepared in compliance with IAS 29, which requires the adjustment of the
financial statements on the basis of the inflation indices over the reporting
period, and a restatement of prior year comparative figures.

Commentary on results

Inflation adjusted profit before taxation improved from a loss of Z$562 039
million to a profit of Z$376 107 million during the period under review.  The
Group recorded an inflation adjusted attributable profit of Z$220 461 million
compared to a loss of $293 389 million for the same period last year (Historical
cost attributable profit of Z$325 389 million compared to a loss of Z$9 636
million for 2004).  Net interest income decreased by 30% to Z$528 905 million
from Z$759 829 million. The decrease was primarily as a result of a reduction in
income from lending activities and supplementary cost of funding as the Bank
recovered. Non-interest income increased by 25% to Z$337 187 million (2004 -
Z$269 041 million) and contributed 27% (2004 - 30%) of the net operating income.

Operating expenses, on an inflation adjusted basis, decreased by 33% to Z$620
242 million from Z$922 757 million over the same period last year driven largely
by the stringent cost containment measures.  The improvement in profitability
occurred in the latter months of the year and this was before any impact from
the receipt of funds from the rights issue.

The loss on net monetary position occurs as a result of the restatement of
amounts to current value.  The loss of Z$199 842 million is based on the
inflation index as provided by the Central Statistical Office of Zimbabwe.  The
loss has been charged to income in accordance with the IAS 29 'Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies'.

While a conservative approach continues to be taken with respect to provisions
for bad and doubtful debts, on an inflation adjusted basis, a decrease in the
provisions from Z$260 784 million in the previous year to Z$32 565 million was
recorded.  This is reflective of the decline in advances and other accounts
which on an inflation adjusted basis, decreased from Z$2 260 110 million to Z$1
053 471 million.

Dividend

In view of the proposed new capital requirements by 30 September 2006, no
dividend has been proposed.

BALANCE SHEET

The Group's total asset base, on an inflation adjusted basis, decreased by 16%
from Z$4 453 015 million at 31 December 2004 to Z$3 760 487 million.  The
decrease was mainly caused by a reduction in advances and other accounts (53%),
customer's indebtedness for acceptances (95%), investment properties and
non-current assets held for sale (69%) and property and equipment (21%).
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss grew by 500% mainly as a
result of the increase in the Treasury Bills portfolio.

Capital

The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 31 December 2005 calculated
on the historical cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) was 22.52% (31 December 2004 - 1.36%).  The minimum
required by the RBZ is 10%.

The Bank has already complied with the RBZ's initial requirement of a minimum
capital base of Z$100 billion, after a well supported rights issue in November
2005 which raised Z$60 billion net of issue expenses.  In view of the new
pronouncements from the RBZ regarding the capitalisation of banks, the Group
will undertake the necessary steps during the course of 2006 to meet the new
requirements.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

After repaying the expensive RBZ Liquidity Support Facility, the Group returned
to profitability in the second half of the year.  With confidence returning to
the banking sector, buttressed by a well supported rights issue,  this has
enhanced the Bank's capacity.  The resilience of the business model and the
continuing support from stakeholders, especially customers, should assist with
the considerable challenges in the year ahead.  There has already been a
remarkable increase in deposits in the second half of 2005 and this trend is
expected to continue in 2006.

The recapitalisation of the Bank to the required equivalent of US$10 million by
30 September 2006 will be a strategic imperative in the new year and initiatives
are already underway to address this requirement.  Significant shareholders have
indicated their willingness to support the Bank further.

DIRECTORATE

Mr J S Friedlander resigned from the Board effective 30 June 2005 and  I would
like to express our appreciation for his valuable contributions over the years.

Mrs D J Sibanda was appointed to the Board on 7 October 2005 and Mr J P de la
Fargue was appointed to the Board on 23 December 2005.  I would like to welcome
Mrs Sibanda and Mr de la Fargue to the Board and wish them a fruitful tenure.

APPRECIATION

In this particularly challenging year, management and staff have shown a high
level of commitment and strategic focus in protecting and safeguarding
shareholder value.  On behalf of the Board, and the Company's shareholders, I
would like to convey my sincere appreciation to the non-executive directors, the
executive directors, management and staff for their outstanding efforts towards
recovery in the most challenging environment.  The recovery of the Group would
not have been achieved without support from a number of quarters including
shareholders with the rights issue and the RBZ.  The Bank is particularly
appreciative of the continuing support of its customers.

         NMB BANK LIMITED: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

1.      RESPONSIBILITY

These financial statements are the responsibility of the directors.  This
responsibility includes the setting up of internal control and risk management
processes, which are monitored independently.

2.      CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Group adheres to principles of corporate governance derived from the King
Reports, the United Kingdom Combined Code and RBZ.  The Group is cognisant of
its duty to conduct business with due care and in good faith in order to
safeguard all stakeholders' interests.

3.      BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board appointments are made to ensure a variety of skills and expertise on the
Board.  Non-executive directors are of such calibre as to provide independence
to the Board.  The Chairman of the Board is a non-executive director.  The Board
is supported by various committees in executing its responsibilities.  The Board
meets at least quarterly to assess risk, review performance and provide guidance
to management on both operational and policy issues.

4.      RISK MANAGEMENT

In the ordinary course of business the Group manages risks of all forms
especially operational, market, liquidity and credit risks. These risks are
identified and monitored through various channels and mechanisms. The risk
management department, headed by a General Manager reporting to the Chief
Executive Officer, is responsible for the management of the overall risk
profile.

The Group's main objective is to contain the risks inherent within the financial
services sector and to ensure that the Group's various risk profiles are
understood and appropriately managed to the benefit of customers, stakeholders
and shareholders.

4.1       Operational risk

This risk is inherent in all business activities and is the potential for loss
arising from ineffective internal controls, poor operational procedures to
support these controls, errors and deliberate acts of fraud. The balancing of
the risk and the cost incurred to reduce the risk is critical. The Board has an
Audit Committee whose function is to ensure that this risk is minimised. The
Audit Committee through the internal audit function assesses the adequacy of the
internal controls and makes the necessary recommendations to the Board.

4.2       Market risk

This arises from adverse movements in the money market (interest rate risk),
foreign exchange and equity markets in which the Group operates. The Group has
in place an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which comprises the
departmental heads of Risk, Treasury, Corporate and Retail Banking and Finance,
in addition to executive directors. The committee monitors these risks and
recommends the appropriate levels to which the Group should be exposed at any
time. The approval of all dealing limits ultimately rests with this committee.

4.3       Liquidity risk

The management of liquidity in the Group is primarily designed to ensure that
the Group meets its obligations timeously. The Treasury Department in
consultation with ALCO formulates and applies appropriate investment methods and
instruments to ensure that this is achieved. In pursuance of the management of
this risk, the Risk Management Department periodically reports on facility
utilisations and excesses that need management attention.

4.4       Credit risk

The Board has put in place sanctioning committees which operate according to the
amount requested by an applicant. The Risk Management Department reviews all
applications.  This initial review allows only those applications that do not
unduly expose the group to be considered by the sanctioning committees.

4.5              Legal risk

Legal risk is risk from uncertainty due to legal actions or uncertainty in the
applicability or interpretation of contracts, laws or regulations.  Legal risk
may entail such issues as contract formation, capacity and contract frustration.
To manage this risk the Group employs a legal practitioner who is responsible
for the drafting, monitoring and execution of all contracts.  Permanent
relationships are also maintained with firms of legal practitioners and access
to legal advice is readily available to all departments.  The compliance
function is also responsible for identifying and monitoring legal risk and
ensuring that the Group remains in compliance with all regulatory requirements.

4.6              Reputational Risk

Reputational risk is the risk of loss of business as a result of negative
publicity or negative perceptions by the market with regards to the way the
Group can conduct its business.  To manage this risk, the Group strictly
monitors customer's complaints, continuously train staff at all levels, conducts
market surveys and periodic reviews of business practices through its internal
audit department.

The directors are satisfied with the risk management processes in the Group as
these have contributed to be minimization of losses arising from risk exposures.

5.            REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

During the period under review, the Bank was convicted of five (5) charges under
the Exchange Control Act and a fine of Z$1.42 billion was paid.  On Counsel's
advice taken, an appeal has been filed and is pending.

On 18 October 2005, the Bank's Primary Dealership Status, through which it is
able to purchase financial instruments directly from the RBZ was withdrawn.
This came about because of non-receipt of payment due to technical challenges
which arose on the Bank's electronic payment platform which provides settlement
on a particular day.  The Primary Dealership Status was restored on 28 October
2005 following an appeal to the Authorities.

The RBZ had issued on 30 September 2004 at the time the Bank sought the RBZ's
liquidity assistance a Corrective Order concerning certain aspects with regard
to Board composition, capital, liquidity, management information systems and the
governance and credit risk management of insider loans.  Save for the full
repayment of all insider loans then identified (repaid subsequent to year end),
the Bank has taken measures to address all these matters and remains in regular
communication with the RBZ.

The Group remains committed to complying with and adhering to all regulatory
requirements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2005

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      INCORPORATION AND ACTIVITIES

The Company is incorporated in Zimbabwe and is an investment holding company.
Its principal operating subsidiary is engaged in banking and other companies
hold property.  The details of the Bank's non-operating subsidiary are shown
under note 'f' to the bank's accounts.

2.      CURRENCY

These financial statements are expressed in Zimbabwe dollars and are rounded to
the nearest million.

3.      BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and
adjusted to reflect the changes in general price levels in accordance with IAS
29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies.

4.            ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1        Inflation Accounting

The economy of Zimbabwe is considered to be a hyperinflationary economy. In
order to comply with IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies,
financial statements need to be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current
at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements,
including comparatives, have been restated to account for changes in the general
purchasing power of the Zimbabwe dollar.  The restatement is based on the
consumer price index at the balance sheet date.  The indices and conversion
factors are derived from the inflation rates which are issued by the Central
Statistical Office of Zimbabwe.  The indices and conversion factors used were as
follows:

Dates                                         Indices                Conversion factors

31 December 2005                            48 205.60                            1.0000
31 December 2004                             7 028.70                            6.8584
31 December 2003                             3 019.90                           15.9626


4.2        Financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount for which an asset could
be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in
an arm's length transaction.  If a quoted market price is not available, the
fair value of the instrument is estimated using pricing models or discounted
cash flow techniques.  Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated
future cash flows are based on management's best estimates and the discount rate
is a market related rate at the balance sheet date for an instrument with
similar terms and conditions.  Where pricing models are used, inputs are based
on market related measures at the balance sheet date.


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2005

_________________________________________________________________________________________________


4.3        Investment properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value.  Gains and losses arising from a
change in fair value of investment properties are recognized in the income
statement.

4.4        Share - based payments

The Group issues share options to certain employees in terms of the Employee
Share Option Scheme.  Share options are measured at fair value at the date of
grant.  The fair value determined at the date of grant of the options is
expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's
estimate of shares that will eventually vest.  Fair value is measured using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The expected life used in the model has
been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of
non-transferability, exercise restrictions and other behavioural considerations.

4.5        Property and equipment

International Accounting Standard 16 (IAS 16) stipulates that the residual value
and the useful life of an asset must be reviewed at least each financial
year-end. If the residual value of an asset increases by an amount equal to or
greater than the asset's carrying amount, then the depreciation of the asset
ceases. Depreciation will resume only when the residual value decreases to an
amount below the asset's carrying amount.

9.      BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS

         Provisions are applied to write off advances in part or in whole when
they are considered wholly or partly irrecoverable.  The aggregate provisions
which are made during the year are charged to income.

9.1    Specific provisions

            Specific provisions are made where the repayment of identified
advances is in doubt and reflect estimates of the loss.  Advances are written
off against specific provisions once the probability of recovering any
significant amounts becomes remote.

9.2    General provisions

         The general doubtful debt provision relates to the inherent risk of
losses which, although not separately identified, is known to be present in any
loan portfolio.

9.3        Regulatory Guidelines and International Accounting Standards
requirements

The Banking Regulations 2000 gives guidance on provisioning for doubtful debts
and stipulates certain minimum percentages to be applied to the respective
categories of the loan book.

         International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39), prescribes the
provisioning for doubtful debts based on the actual loan losses incurred in the
past applied to the sectorial analysis of book debts and the discounting of
expected cash flows on specific problem accounts.

         The two prescriptions are likely to give different results.  The Group
has taken the view that where the IAS 39 charge is less than the amount provided
for in the Banking Regulations, the difference is charged against equity and
where it is more, the full amount will be charged to the income statement.

9.4    Non-performing loans

         Interest on loans and advances is accrued to income until such time as
reasonable doubt exists about its collectability, thereafter and until all or
part of the loan is written off, interest continues to accrue on customers'
accounts but is not included in income.  Such suspended interest is deducted
from loans and advances in the balance sheet.  This policy meets the
requirements of the Banking Regulations 2000 issued by the RBZ.

10.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the following figures:-



10.1  Earnings/(losses)

Included in other accounts is the equivalent of an amount of US$1.8 million that
was outstanding at 31 December 2003 and recorded as a foreign currency amount
owing at the then market rate, which was the auction rate in January 2004 as
reported in the financial statements at 31 December 2003.  This amount was
recovered and remitted to the RBZ in December 2004.  The receipt was translated
at Z$6 200 to the US$ as per an understanding with the RBZ at the time the money
was received.  Subsequent to the remittance, the RBZ offered settlement at Z$824
to the US$, being the historical rate prior to the introduction of the
controlled foreign exchange auction system resulting in a loss to the Bank of $9
700 million.  Discussions with the Authorities were held and the Bank was
informed subsequent to year end that settlement will be at a rate of Z$824 to
the US$ and the current year results reflect this position.  The Bank will be
appealing against this ruling.

A decision to dispose the remainder of Lot H of Borrowdale Estate, owned by the
Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Carey Farm (Private) limited, was taken late in
December 2005.  It is expected that the property will be sold for cash and that
the disposal will be completed within 12 months from December 2005.

          The property measures 89.2623 hectares (223.16 acres) in extent.  The
beneficial interest in Carey Farm (Private) Limited arose from shareholding
acquired in settlement of a debt owed to the Bank amounting to $10 008 million.
The acquisition is in compliance with Section 34 of the Banking Act (Chapter
24.20).  The land was valued by an independent and professional valuer on 3
February 2006 for year end purposes.

               Contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2005 were in respect of
guarantees (Z$86 039 million) and withholding tax (Z$6 697 million)  (31
