CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



The economic recovery trend that began in 2004 continued in the first quarter of
2005, but started to recede in the second quarter. The half year was
characterised in summary by:



*       Resurgent inflation and persitent, but declining money supply growth

*       Increase in the level of domestic debt

*       Rising interest rates

*       Termination of previous concessionary lending facilities and
introduction of new facilities for mining and agriculture

*       Pronounced foreign currency shortages.



Commentary on Group Inflation Adjusted and Historical  Cost Results



Introduction



There were some signs of a return to stability in the financial services sector,
but the harsh macro-economic conditions adversely affected earnings in the
Group.  The Group's results reflect the impact of the expensive liquidity
support over the period under review.  With the support having been effectively
repaid at 30 June 2005, economic conditions notwithstanding, the second half of
the year should see an improvement in performance and a return to profitability.



In accordance with International financial Reporting Standards, the Group
continues to prepare its results statements using hyper inflationary accounting
We have also provided a statement of our historical performance as a reference.



Attributable Loss



The inflation adjusted attributable loss of Z$9 755 million was recorded
compared to a profit of Z$13 689 million over the same period in 2004 and a Z$75
190 million loss for the 12 months to December 2004.  The Group recorded a
historical cost loss of Z$6 770 million compared to an attributable profit of
Z$14 667 over the same period in 2004 and a Z$9 636 loss in the 12 months to
December 2004.



Net Interest Income



Net interest income decreased by 87% to Z$20 808 million from Z$158 627 million
in June 2004 in inflation adjusted terms.  The decrease was primarily a result
of a decrease in interest from lending and investing activities.  Interest paid
on the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) liquidity support amounted to Z$73 billion
in inflation adjusted terms.



Non-Interest Income



Inflation adjusted non-interest income increased by 3% to $17 117 million and
contributed 36% (June 2004 - 10%) of the net operating income.



Operating Expenses



Operating expenses decreased by 25% in inflation adjusted terms over the same
period last year mainly due to cost cutting measures undertaken by the Group.

for the six months ended 30 June 2005



Gain/ (loss) on net monetary position



The gain or loss on net monetary position occurs as a result of the restatement
of amounts to current value.  The gain of Z$37 073 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
International Accounting Standard 29 "Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".



 Charge for doubtful debts



The inflation adjusted charge for the six month period decreased by 84% to Z$2
994 million (June 2004 - Z$18 555 million).   The Board continues to adopt a
conservative approach on provisions in view of the unstable macro-economic
environment.



Dividend



In view of the historical cost attributable loss recorded, no interim dividend
has been proposed.



Balance Sheet



In inflation adjusted terms, the Group's total asset base was managed down by
41% to Z$670 868 million from Z$1 141 225 million at 31 December 2004.  The
decrease was mainly caused by a reduction in advances and other accounts (57%),
customers' indebtedness for acceptances (43%) and property and equipment (16%).



In historical cost terms, the total asset base decreased by 12% to Z$491 530
million from Z$557 574 million at December 2004.  It is also gratifying to note
that historical cost deposits increased by 54% to Z$387 164 million from Z$251
177 million in June 2004.



Capital Adequacy



The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 30 June 2005 calculated on
the historical cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the RBZ was 0.15%
(30 June 2004 - 8.37%, 31 December 2004 - 1.36%). This compares unfavourably
with the Reserve Bank's minimum ratio of 10%.



The Bank's total shareholders funds stood at Z$5 058 million at 30 June 2005 and
this is below the RBZ's requirement for a minimum capital base of Z$10 billion.
Subsequent to the reporting period, the Bank's management accounts show that the
capital base has recovered to be in excess of the minimum requirement although
the minimum ratio of 10% has not yet been attained at the date of this report.
Current trading performance trends indicate that the banking subsidiary should
be fully compliant with the present minimum requirements of the RBZ.



Cautionary Statement And Extraordinary General Meeting



Negotiations concerning possible strategic partnerships referred to in
cautionary announcements to shareholders on 14 February 2005 and subsequently,
are still in progress and updates on the developments will continue to be
provided to shareholders at regular intervals as required by the Zimbabwe Stock
Exchange.



The Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on 26 July 2005 was adjourned
following the RBZ Monetary Policy Statement issued on 21 July, particularly as
the prescribed minimum capital for Commercial banks was increased to Z$100
billion from September 2006.

Outlook And Strategy



The first quarter was particularly difficult for the Group on the back of the
high cost of temporary liquidity support from the RBZ.  The second quarter
witnessed a significant improvement in the performance of the Group as the
liquidity support was largely liquidated.



The second half of the year should witness a significant improvement in the
performance of the Group due to the improved trading capacity as a result of the
repayment of the RBZ support and the beneficial effects of liquidity to be
injected from the current capitalisation initiatives.



We will continue to focus on the recapitalisation of the Group in order to
enhance trading capacity and take advantage of the anticipated business growth
opportunities in the economy.



Litigation



Judgment in respect of the five (5) charges previously reported in the results
for the year ended 31 December 2004 relating to alleged dealings in foreign
currency is still imminent, and if deemed necessary, a statement on the outcome
shall be issued.



Going Concern



In the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004, attention was
drawn to the temporary liquidity support from the RBZ and the capital base of
the Banking subsidiary.  The recourse to this support from the RBZ had an
adverse impact on profitability due to its high cost in the period under review.
As disclosed in note 11, the principal amount outstanding on the RBZ
temporary liquidity support at 30 June 2005 was effectively repaid, thanks to
tight liquidity management and the support of the Bank's loyal customer base,
down from Z$92.9 billion at 31 December 2004 to Z$216 million.



The effect of the current initiatives to augment the capital of the Group
complements the significant recovery trend that has been evident over the past
few months.  Indications are that an optimum amount expected to be raised before
the end of the year will add further impetus to this profit trend.  This in turn
will allow for an organic growth in the Banking subsidiary's capital which will
leave it well poised to be fully compliant with the RBZ's new capital
requirements of Z$100 billion required to be in place by September 2006.



 Conclusion



I would like to thank our clients and the Monetary Authorities for their
valuable support.  I would also like to thank the Board, company's shareholders,
management and staff for their endeavours during the period under review.

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 and the United Kingdom Combined Code.  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 Acting 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.



The banking subsidiary's Board requires an additional non-executive director to
meet the minimum requirements and prospective appointments are in the process of
being vetted pending RBZ approval for their appointment.



4.      GOING CONCERN



The Group financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.  The
banking crisis in the Zimbabwe financial sector that started in December 2003
did not spare NMB Bank Limited.  This necessitated the access of temporary
liquidity support from the RBZ in October 2004.  The recourse to this support
has had an adverse impact on profitability due to the high cost and current
negotiations to recapitalise the Group, will, if successful, contribute to
reduce the cost of funding and consequently improve profitability.



Were the negotiations to recapitalise the Group prove unsuccessful, this would
have a material effect on the ability of the Bank and the Group to continue as a
going concern.  There is no indication that this is likely.



5.      RISK MANAGEMENT



The Board takes cognisance of its responsibility for the management of risk for
the Group.  Their 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.  This has been achieved by the consistent
enforcement of effective risk management policies and internal control systems
to mitigate the risks in the various risk categories identified, these being
operational risk, market and interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk,
legal risk and reputational risk.




NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

for the six months ended 30 June 2005



5.1              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.



5.2          Market and Interest Rate risk



Market risk is the adverse effect of the change in market conditions, inter
alia, movement in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity markets and
general economic conditions.



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.



5.3       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  managing this risk, the Risk
Management department periodically reports on facility utilisations and excesses
that need management attention.



5.4       Credit risk



Credit risk in the possibility that the Group will suffer a loss should a debtor
default on either repayment of the principle amount borrowed on the payment of
interest accrued, or both.



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.



5.5             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 risks and
ensuring that the Group remains in compliance with all regulatory requirements.




NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

for the six months ended 30 June 2005



5.6             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 Bank as
these have contributed to the minimisation of losses arising from risk exposures



6.                  REGULATORY COMPLIANCE



We remain committed to complying with and adhering to all regulatory
requirements, including attending to current deficiencies in the capital
adequacy ratios and issues relating to the requisite number of non-executive
board members.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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.



2.                  CURRENCY



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





3.                  ACCCOUNTING POLICIES



3.1  Historical Cost Conventions



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.



3.2          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 2005           12 354.2             1.0000

31 December 2004        7 028.7             1.7577

30 June 2004            4 674.1             2.6431



3.3          Financial instruments

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



3.4          Investment properties

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




NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

for the six months ended 30 June 2005



            3.5       Bad and Doubtful Debts

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



         3.5.1       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.



         3.5.2       General provisions

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



         3.5.3       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 adheres to the
requirements of the Banking Regulations 2000 issued by the RBZ.
