The Supreme Court of Pakistan vide its order dated November 10, 2016 has held that the amendments made in the law introduced
by Federal Government through Finance Act, 2008 for the levy of Workers' Welfare Fund (WWF) on banks were not lawful. The
Federal Board of Revenue has filed review petitions against this order, which are currently pending. A legal advice was obtained by
the Pakistan Banking Association which highlights that consequent to filing of these review petitions, a risk has arisen and the
judgment is not conclusive until the review petition is decided. Accordingly, the amount charged for Workers' Welfare Fund since
2008 has not been reversed.

35 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participant at the measurement date. The fair value of quoted securities other than those
classified as held to maturity, is based on quoted market price. Quoted securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost. The
fair value of unquoted equity securities, other than investments in associates and subsidiaries, is determined on the basis of the break-
up value of these investments as per their latest available audited financial statements. The fair value of unquoted debt securities, fixed
term loans, other assets, other liabilities, fixed term deposits and borrowings cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to the
absence of a current and active market for these assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar instruments. In
the opinion of the management, the fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their
carrying values since these are either short-term in nature or, in the case of customer loans and deposits, are frequently repriced.
Overseas Sukuks, Overseas and GoP Euro The fair value of Overseas Government Sukuks, and Overseas Bonds are valued on the
Bonds basis of price available on Bloomberg.
Debt Securities (TFCs and Sukuk other than Investment in WAPDA Sukuks, debt securities (comprising term finance certificates, bonds
Government) and any other security issued by a company or a body corporate for the purpose of
raising funds in the form of redeemable capital) are valued on the basis of the rates
announced by the Mutual Funds Association of Pakistan (MUFAP) in accordance with the
methodology prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
Ordinary shares - listed The fair value of investments in listed equity securities are valued on the basis of closing
quoted market price available at the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Forward foreign exchange contracts The valuation has been determined by interpolating the FX revaluation rates announced
by the State Bank of Pakistan.
Derivative Instruments Derivatives that are valued using valuation techniques based on market observable inputs
are mainly interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The most frequently applied
valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models using present value
calculations.
Fixed assets and non banking assets The valuation experts used a market based approach to arrive at the fair value of the
acquired in satisfaction of claims Bank's properties. The market approach used prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical, comparable or similar properties.
These values are adjusted to reflect the current condition of the properties. The effect of
changes in the unobservable inputs used in the valuations cannot be determined with
certainty accordingly a qualitative disclosure of sensitivity has not been presented in
these financial statements.

39.9.1 The pools, their key features and risk and reward characteristics.
The profit and loss sharing between the Rabbul Maal (depositor) and Mudarib (Bank - IBG) is based upon the underlying principles of
Mudaraba, where Bank also contributes its equity to general pool of funds, and becomes the capital provider.
Currently IBG is managing following pools:
1) General Pool for LCY Depositors
2) FCY Pool for Foreign Currency (USD, GBP, EURO,AED, SAR and CAD) depositors
3) FIs Pool for Treasury Purposes
4) IERS Pool for Islamic Export Refinance Scheme facilities
5) Special pool
6) PMRC Musharikah Pool
All the Mudaraba based Remunerative deposits shall be considered as an investment from Rabbul Maal in the pool, along with IBG's own
share of equity, which is also commingled in the pool. The applications of these funds are on Advances, Investments, and Placements for
generating profits to be shared among the depositors as per the Weightage system.
The IERS pool is maintained as per the guideline under SBP IERS Scheme.
The assets, liabilities, equities, income and expenses are segregated for each of the pool. No pool investment is intermingled with each other.
The risk associated with each pool is thus equally distributed among the pools.

40 AFGHANISTAN OPERATIONS
Bank Alfalah maintains a two-branch presence in Afghanistan. The board and management of the Bank continue to closely monitor the evolving situation in
Afghanistan which has been hampered due to country's frozen reserves and uncertainty regarding international recognition which prevent normal flows in and out
of Afghanistan. The Bank has taken impairment against assets where there is an indication that carrying amount may be higher than its recoverable amount. The
Bank remains focused on maintaining its control standards i.e. both onshore and through Head Office oversight.

36 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participant at the measurement date. The fair value of quoted securities other than those classified as
held to maturity, is based on quoted market price. Quoted securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost. The fair value of
unquoted equity securities, other than investments in associates and subsidiaries, is determined on the basis of the break-up value of these
investments as per their latest available audited financial statements. The fair value of unquoted debt securities, fixed term loans, other
assets, other liabilities, fixed term deposits and borrowings cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to the absence of a current
and active market for these assets and liabilities and reliable data regarding market rates for similar instruments. In the opinion of the
management, the fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their carrying values since
these are either short-term in nature or, in the case of customer loans and deposits, are frequently repriced.
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: Fair value measurements using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Fair value measurements using input for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
The table below analyses financial instruments measured at the end of the reporting period by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which
the fair value measurement is categorised:
Financial instruments included in level 1 comprise of investments in ordinary shares of listed companies and listed non government debt
securities.
Financial instruments included in level 2 comprise of Market Treasury Bills, Pakistan Investment Bonds, GoP Sukuks, GoP Euro Bonds,
Overseas Government Sukuks, Overseas Bonds, Term Finance Certificates, and other than Government Sukuks, forward foreign exchange
contracts, forward government securities contracts, cross currency swap and interest rate swaps.
The fair value of unquoted debt securities, fixed term loans, other assets, other liabilities, fixed term deposits and borrowings cannot be
calculated with sufficient reliability due to the absence of a current and active market for these assets and liabilities and reliable data
regarding market rates for similar instruments.
Certain categories of fixed assets (land and buildings) and non banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims are carried at revalued
amounts (level 3 measurement) determined by professional valuers based on their assessment of the market values as disclosed in notes 12
and 15. The valuations are conducted by the valuation experts appointed by the Holding Company which are also on the panel of State Bank
of Pakistan.
Ordinary shares - listed The fair value of investments in listed equity securities are valued on the basis of
closing quoted market price available at the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Forward foreign exchange contracts The valuation has been determined by interpolating the FX revaluation rates
announced by the State Bank of Pakistan.
Derivative Instruments Derivatives that are valued using valuation techniques based on market
observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The
most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap
models using present value calculations.
Fixed assets and non banking assets acquired in The valuation experts used a market based approach to arrive at the fair value
satisfaction of claims of the Holding Company's properties. The market approach used prices and
other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical,
comparable or similar properties. These values are adjusted to reflect the
current condition of the properties. The effect of changes in the unobservable
inputs used in the valuations cannot be determined with certainty accordingly a
qualitative disclosure of sensitivity has not been presented in these financial
statements.
