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



'The Group's capacity was enhanced by the return of confidence to the banking
sector during the period under review and buttressed by a well supported rights
issue.  The vibrancy of the business model and the continuing support from
stakeholders, especially customers, should assist in confronting the business
challenges expected in 2007'.

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



The inflation adjusted profit before taxation reduced from Z$5 194 million to
Z$1 645 million during the period under review.  The Group recorded an inflation
adjusted attributable profit of Z$572 million compared to Z$3 045 million for
the same period last year.  A historical cost attributable profit of Z$6 989
million was recorded compared to Z$325 million for 2005.  Net interest income
increased by 129% to Z$16 763 million from Z$7 305 million. The increase was
primarily as a result of significant positive margins during the second half.
Non-interest income increased by 42% to Z$6 603 million (2005 - Z$4 657 million)
and contributed 27% (2005 - 27%) of the net operating income.



Operating expenses, on an inflation adjusted basis, increased by 12% to Z$9 557
million from Z$8 566 million over the same period last year.



The loss on net monetary position occurs as a result of the restatement of
amounts to current value.  The loss of Z$12 899 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$450 million in the previous year to Z$125 million was
recorded.  This is reflective of the decline in advances and other accounts
which on an inflation adjusted basis, decreased from Z$14 550 million to Z$13
856 million, as well as a prudent lending policy in an uncertain environment.



Dividend



In light of the need to conserve cash in the business, the Board has proposed a
scrip dividend alternative to the cash dividend of 65 cents per share. This
decision was arrived at taking into account shareholder expectations and the
need to ensure sustainable organic growth in view of the expected challenges
which may confront the company in 2007.



BALANCE SHEET



The Group's total asset base, on an inflation adjusted basis, increased by 33%
from Z$51 937 million at 31 December 2005 to Z$68 987 million.  The increase was
mainly caused by a rise in financial assets at fair value through profit and
loss (+43%), available-for-sale securities (+146%), balances with banks and cash
(+11%).   Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss grew mainly as
a result of the increase in the Treasury Bills portfolio.



Capital



The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 31 December 2006 calculated
on the historical cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) was 30.02% (31 December 2005 - 22.52%).  The minimum
required by the RBZ is 10%.



The Bank complied with the RBZ's requirement of a minimum capital base of Z$1
billion after a well supported rights issue in August 2006 which raised Z$1
billion net of issue expenses.  The Group will continue to monitor and manage
its capital base in view of market and economic developments.



OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY



The return of confidence to the banking sector, buttressed by a well supported
rights issue in August 2006, this has strengthened the Bank's capacity to
underwrite more business.  The vibrancy of the business model and the continuing
support from stakeholders, especially customers, should assist in confronting
the business challenges expected in 2007.  There has already been a remarkable
increase in deposits during the year and this trend is expected to continue in
2007.



We remain cognisant of the need for the continued enhancement of our delivery
channels and a number of prospects are currently under active consideration.



DIRECTORATE



It is with great sadness that the Group notes the passing away of Mr Mario dos
Remedios on 10 December 2006.  His wise counsel and valuable contributions to
NMBZ Holdings Limited will be greatly missed.



Subsequent to the financial year end, Mr Benson Ndachena was appointed the Chief
Financial Officer of NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank Limited on 8 January
2007.  I would like to welcome Mr Ndachena to the Board and wish him a fruitful
tenure.



APPRECIATION



I would like to thank our clients and the Monetary Authorities for the
invaluable support during the year under review, which was particularly
challenging in many respects.  I would also like to express my appreciation to
my fellow Board members, management and staff for achieving these results under
very difficult conditions.

         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 II
Report, the United Kingdom Combined Code and RBZ corporate governance
guidelines.  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 which reports 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, shareholders
and other stakeholders.



         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 minimisation of losses arising from risk exposures.



5.            REGULATORY COMPLIANCE



During the period under review the Bank was fined Z$50 000 by the RBZ for late
arrival at cheque clearing on 20 December 2006.



The Corrective Order issued by the RBZ in September 2004 was lifted on 20
December 2006.



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

3.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES



3.1             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  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

3.2             Financial instruments


3.2.1           Classification



            Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and
loss include financial assets and liabilities held for trading i.e. those that
the Group principally holds for the purpose of short-term profit taking as well
as those that were, upon initial recognition, are designated by the entity as
financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.  There is
no reclassification into or out of this category as per IAS 39.



Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those
classified as held-for-trading and the Group upon initial recognition designates
as at fair value through profit or loss and those the Group upon initial
recognition designates as available for sale.



Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive
intention and ability to hold to maturity.



Financial assets available-for-sale are non-derivative financial assts that are
designated as available for sale or are not classified as loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss.



3.2.2           Recognition



The Group recognises financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and
available for sale assets on the date it commits to purchase the assets. From
this date any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the assets
are recognised in the income statement and equity respectively.



Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are recognised at cost
which is the fair value of the consideration given on the day that they are
transferred to the Group.




NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2006

__________________________________________________________________________________________________



3.2.3           Measurement



Financial assets and liabilities are measured initially at fair value.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities at fair
value through profit and loss and available for sale financial assets are
measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted
market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured is stated at cost, less impairment losses.



Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables are measured at amortised
cost less impairment losses. Amortised cost is calculated using the effective
interest rate method. Premiums and discounts, including initial transaction
costs, are included in the carrying amount of the related instrument and
amortised based on the effective interest rate of the instrument.



3.2.4           Fair value measurement principles



The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at
the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs. 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.



The fair value of derivatives that are not exchange-traded is estimated at the
amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the
balance sheet date taking into account current market conditions and the current
credit worthiness of the counterparties.



3.3             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.



3.4                          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.



3.5                          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.      IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES



         Impairment losses are applied to write off advances in part or in whole
when they are considered wholly or partly irrecoverable.  The aggregate
impairment losses which are made during the year are dealt with as per paragraph
9.3.



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    Portfolio provisions



         The portfolio 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, Financial Instruments Recognition
and Measurement (IAS 39), prescribes the provisioning for impairment losses
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 issued by the RBZ.

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$6 200 (old currency) to the US$ as per an understanding with the RBZ at the
time the money was received.  Subsequent to the remittance, the RBZ offered
settlement at Z$824 (old currency) to the US$, being the historical rate prior
to the introduction of the controlled foreign exchange auction system resulting
in a loss to the Bank of $9 700 000 (revalued).  The Bank was informed in early
2006 that settlement was to be at a rate of Z$824 (old currency) to the US$ and
the current year results reflect this position.  The Bank appealed against this
ruling and discussions are being held with the Authorities.

DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT



The Board has declared a scrip dividend alternative to the cash dividend of 65
cents per share payable to members registered in the books of the company on 6
April 2007. The transfer books and register of members will be closed from 7
April 2007 to 13 April 2007. Dividend cheques or share certificates to resident
shareholders will be mailed on or about 9 May 2007. The dividends payable to
non-resident shareholders will be paid in accordance with Exchange Control
Regulations. Resident and non-resident shareholders' tax of 15% will be deducted
where applicable.



The share price to be used for the purpose of calculating the number of shares
to be issued for the scrip dividend alternative will be the weighted average
share price on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days prior to
the record date of 6 April 2007. Fractional entitlements arising from the
computations will be paid in cash.
