CHIEF MANAGER/PRINCIPAL OFFICER GENERAL MANAGER - PAKISTAN
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
1. STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
1.1 Doha Bank Limited (the Bank) was incorporated in the State of Qatar in 1979 as a Qatari shareholding
company under Emirl Decree No. 51 of 1978. During the year, the name of the Bank has been changed
to "Doha Bank" which has been duly approved by the State Bank of Pakistan. The Bank is engaged in
commercial banking services and operates through its Head Office and branches established in Qatar
The United States of America and at Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan.
1.2 The Branches have accumulated losses of Rs. 592 million as at 31 December 2000. The management
of the Bank has taken certain measures to improve the Bank's operations in Pakistan and has according-
ly developed a restructuring plan, which includes the closure of loss sustaining Lahore Branch, remittance
of Rs. 318.381 million from head office and transfer of Rs. 601.945 million from US$ deposit account of
head office to "current account" of Branches to offset prior and current year losses. The management is
of the view that head office continuous support to Pakistan operations will bring the Branches on a profitable
footings. The above factors will cumulatively help improve the operations of the Branches.
1.3 As part of restructuring plan, during the year, the Board of Directors of the Bank decided to close down
the business of their Lahore Branch. Formal plan has been approved and approval has also been sought
from the State Bank of Pakistan. As at 31 December 2000, the carrying amount of assets of Lahore
Branch was Rs. 1,635.95 million and its liabilities were Rs. 636.100 million. During the year Lahore
Branch earned revenue of Rs. 120.089 million, incurred expenses of Rs. 196.066 million and incurred a
pre-tax operating loss of Rs. 75.976 million.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the State Bank of
Pakistan (SBP) [under the powers conferred upon it under the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962] to
conform with BPRD Circular No. 31 dated 13 August 1997, International Accounting Standards as applic-
able in Pakistan and specific approval from SBP vide its letter No. BSD/RV-42/502-20/20728 dated 15
December 2000.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Accounting convention
These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.
3.2 Staff retirement benefits
3.2.1 The Bank operates an approved contributory provident fund scheme for all permanent employees
Contributions are made monthly in accordance with fund rules.
3.2.2 Employees Accumulating Compensated Absences
Upto the year 1999, it was the policy of the Bank to encash accumulated absences of its employees
and recognise the cost thereof in the books of account when actually paid. The revised IAS 19
on employee benefits became applicable during the year which requires that an enterprise should
recognise the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences of its employees.
In accordance with the requirements of revised IAS 19, the management has decided to change its
accounting policy and make provision for accumulated compensated absences to the said extent.
The estimated liability of the Bank in respect of these absences amounted to Rs. 0.831 million as
at 31 December 2000, which has been duly accounted for in the financial statements. Had there
been no change in accounting policy, the charge for the year would have been reduced by Rs.
0.831 million.
3.3 Taxation
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on the assessable income for the year after taking into
account tax credits available, if any.
Deferred
The Bank accounts for deferred taxation using the liability method on all major temporary difference.
Upto last year, deferred tax debits were not incorporated in the accounts, however, in order
to comply with the requirements of the revised International Accounting Standard (IAS) - 12 -
Income Taxes, from current year the Bank has changed its policy and deferred tax debits are now
being accounted for (refer note 19.3). Had the accounting policy as described above, not been
changed the loss after taxation for the year would have been higher by Rs. 100 million.
3.4 Investments
Commencing from the current year, Investments in Government and other securities are marked
to market in accordance with BSD Circular No 20 dated 04 August 2000, except for investment
acquired under reverse repurchase transactions and Federal Investment Bonds. The difference
between the carrying value, representing cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion
of discount and the revalued amount is recognized in the surplus/deficit on revaluation account,
until realized on disposal. Profits and losses arising on disposals are taken to income currently.
Previously these investments were carded at cost less amortisation of premium and accretion of
discount where applicable. However, the value of Bank's investments has not been changed and
surplus/deficit has not been arised as a result of such change due to the reason explained in note
6.2.
The Bank also enters into transactions of repo/reverse repo of securities at contracted rates for
specific periods of time. These are recorded as follows:
a) In the case of sale under repurchase obligations, the securities are deleted from the books at
cost and the charges arising from the differential in sale and repurchase values are accrued
on a prorata basis and recorded as expense. Upon repurchase the securities are reinstated
at their respective original cost; and
b) In the case of purchase under resale obligation, the securities are booked at the contracted
purchase price and the differential of the contracted purchase and resale price is amortized
over the period of their contract and recorded as mark-up / interest and discount and / or
return earned.
3.5 Advances
Loans and advances are stated at their principal amounts, net of the provision for loan losses. The
specific provisions for possible loan losses have been made as considered necessary after taking
into consideration the realizable value of assets held by the Bank as security in accordance with
the Prudential Regulations of the State Bank of Pakistan.
3.6 Operating fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the
useful lives of the related assets and charged to income applying the straight-line method. Full
year's depreciation is charged for assets purchased before 30 June and hail-year depreciation is
charged for assets purchased after 30 June while no depreciation is charged in the year of disposals.
Gains or losses on disposal of fixed assets are included in income currently. Normal repairs and
maintenance are charged to income as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements are
capitalised.
3.7 Foreign currencies translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated into Pakistan rupees at the relevant rate of exchange at the
balance sheet or where appropriate at contractual rate. Foreign bills purchased and forward exchange contract 
other than those relating to foreign currency deposits are valued at rate applicable to the respective maturities of 
relevant foreign bills purchased and foreign exchange contracts. Exchange gains or losses on translation are included
in income currently.
