CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



The half year under review was characterized by:

•         Rising inflation for most of the period

•         Increased money supply growth

•         High domestic debt

•         Escalating interest rates

•         Continued concessionary lending mainly to the agricultural sector
          through the agricultural sector productivity enhancement facility (ASPEF)



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 IFRS's



The existence of hyperinflation as defined by International Accounting Standard
(IAS) 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies' 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



The inflation adjusted attributable loss of Z$547 647 million was recorded
compared to a loss of Z$125 318 million over the same period in 2005 and a Z$725
831 million profit for the 12 months to 31 December 2005.   The Group recorded a
historical cost profit of Z$391 920 million compared to an attributable loss of
Z$6 770 million over the same period in 2005 and a Z$325 389 million profit in
the 12 months to 31 December 2005.  Net interest income increased by 209% to
Z$826 835 million from Z$267 310 million at 30 June 2005.   Inflation adjusted
non-interest income increased by 231% to Z$728 224 million and contributed 45%
(30 June 2005 - 36%) of the net operating income.



Operating expenses decreased by 6% in inflation adjusted terms over the same
period last year mainly due to cost containment measures undertaken by the
Group.



The gain or loss on net monetary position occurs as a result of the restatement
of amounts to current value.  The loss of Z$538 543 million is based on the
inflation index as provided by the Central Statistical Office of Zimbabwe.  The
gain has been accounted for in the income statement in accordance with the IAS
29.



The inflation adjusted impairment losses on loans and advances for the six
month period increased by 488% to Z$226 214 million (30 June 2005 - Z$38 462
million).   The Board continues to adopt a conservative approach on provisions
in view of the unstable macro-economic environment.

Dividend



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



Balance Sheet



The Group's total asset base, on an inflation adjusted basis, decreased by 0.1%
to Z$12 365 385 million from Z$12 380 765 million at 31 December 2005.



In historical cost terms, the total asset base increased by 233% to Z$10 462 309
million from Z$3 142 601 million at 31 December 2005.  It is also gratifying to
note that in historical cost terms, deposits increased by 133% to Z$4 818 375
million from Z$2 067 892 million at 31 December 2005.



Capital Adequacy



The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 30 June 2006 calculated on
the historical cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the RBZ was
12.47% (30 June 2005 - 0.15%, 31 December 2005 - 22.52%). This compares
favourably with the RBZ's minimum ratio of 10%.   The Bank's total shareholder's
funds stood at Z$674 322 million at 30 June 2006.



OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY



The Group's results for the six months ended 30 June 2006 reflect the impact of
the market liquidity conditions over the period.



The Group has undertaken a Z$1 trillion rights issue to meet the new capital
requirements of an equivalent of US$10 million required by 30 September 2006.
The additional capital will be deployed to cushion the Bank against short-term
shocks from the market without adversely and materially affecting the Bank's
profitability and creates more opportunities for the Bank to participate in the
interbank market and attract additional depositors' funds.



With shareholder support having been effectively secured for a recapitalisation
of the Bank, the second half of the year, economic circumstances permitting,
should see an improvement in performance.



APPRECIATION



I would like to express my appreciation to our clients and the Monetary
Authorities for their invaluable support.  In addition, I would like to thank
the Board, company's shareholders, management and staff for their endeavours
during the period under review.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED



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 the requirements of the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe (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 reports to the Chief Executive Officer and is responsible
for the management of the overall risk profile for the Bank.



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.




NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED



4.3       Liquidity risk



Liquidity risk is the risk that operations cannot be funded and financial
commitments cannot be met timeously.  The risk arises when there is a maturity
mismatch between assets and liabilities.  The group identifies this risk through
maturity profiling of assets and liabilities.



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



Credit risk is the risk that a financial contract will not be honoured according
to the original set of terms.  The risk arises when borrowers fail to repay
borrowings.



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 customers' 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 the minimisation of losses arising from risk
exposures.



5.             REGULATORY COMPLIANCE



During the period under review, there were no instances of non-compliance with
regulatory requirements.  The Group remains committed to complying with and
adhering to all regulatory requirements.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED



NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the six months ended 30 June 2006


1.              INCORPORATION AND ACTIVITIES



The company is incorporated in Zimbabwe and is an investment holding company.
Its subsidiaries are engaged in banking and property holding.  The details of
the Bank's non-operating subsidiary are shown under note 'h'  to the Bank's
accounts.



2.              CURRENCY



These interim 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         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

30 June 2006                       158 708.80                   1.0000

31 December 2005                    48 205.60                   3.2923

30 June 2005                        12 354.20                  12.8465



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.



NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED



NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont'd)

for the six months ended 30 June 2006


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 the income statement.



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 issued by the RBZ 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 sectoral 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.
