CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The country's economy continued its downward spiral in 2003 and recorded its
fifth successive year of economic decline. The year under review was
characterized by:

*               Decline in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
*               Hyperinflation and high money supply
*               High domestic debt
*               Weak Balance of Payments (BOP) position
*               Foreign currency shortages
*               Cash shortages


Positive factors during the year were:

*               Improved concessionary financing for exporters and producers
*               New Monetary Policy Statement




ECONOMIC REVIEW

Decline in GDP

Real GDP declined by 3.7% in 1999, 5% in 2000, 7.5% in 2001, 14.5% in 2002 and
is forecast to decline by 13.2% in 2003. Major reductions in GDP are expected in
transport and communication (13.5%), distribution (12.5%), manufacturing
(12.5%), and construction (9.5%).



Hyperinflation and high money supply

The country recorded runaway levels of inflation during 2003 emanating from
shortages of basic commodities, alternative market activities, energy price
increases, a loose monetary policy, general contraction in economic activity and
indexation. Year-on-year inflation, which closed the previous year at 198.9%,
rose to 364.5% by June 2003, reaching an all time peak of 619.5% in November
2003 before easing to 598.7% by December 2003. Inflation is expected to remain
high in 2004 but is expected to follow a declining trend with the Reserve Bank
of Zimbabwe (RBZ) targeting an inflation rate of 175% - 200% by December 2004,
double-digit inflation by 2005 and single-digit levels by 2008.



Broad money supply (M3), which closed the year 2002 at 164.8%, increased to
303.4% year-on-year to July 2003 as a result of increases in credit to the
private sector and government.  Broad money supply growth is expected to end
2003 at 500% and is expected to decelerate to 200% by the end of 2004.



High domestic debt

Domestic debt, which stood at Z$346 billion in December 2002, rose to
approximately Z$600 billion by December 2003. The debt is dominated by Treasury
Bills (mainly 2 year paper), which account for 97.5% of the total debt while
government bonds account for the balance of 2.5%. The government intends to
further restructure the domestic debt in 2004 by issuing more long-dated
instruments. The budget deficit is expected to reach Z$1.83 trillion in 2004 and
domestic debt is set to end the year at about Z$2.4 trillion.



Weak Balance of Payments (BOP) position

The country's BOP position remained precarious in 2003 largely as a result of
poor export performance coupled with the absence of external capital inflows.
Exports of goods and services are estimated to have fallen by 3.9% from US$1 603
million in 2002 to US$1 540 million in 2003. Imports of goods and services fell
less steeply from US$2 634 million in 2002 to US$2 618 million in 2003. The
country is estimated to have recorded a current account deficit of US$1 130
million, slightly up from US$1 044 million in 2002.



The capital account deficit is estimated to have declined from US$345 million in
2002 to US$309 million in 2003.




The overall balance of payments deficit for 2003 was therefore US$1 439 million.
Against the background of the weak balance of payments position,gross official
foreign currency reserves for 2003 are estimated at US$175 million, which
represent approximately one month of imports, while usable reserves were much
lower at just under US$40 million.



The country's total external payment arrears continued to rise in 2003. As of
December 2003, external payment arrears were estimated at about US$1.8 billion,
up from US$1.3 billion at the end of December 2002.  A breakdown of the external
arrears shows that Government arrears account for the largest portion at $1.2
billion (67%) while parastatals and the private sector account for US$558
million (31%) and US$15 million (2%) respectively.



Foreign Exchange Market and Exchange Rate Policy

The new Monetary Policy Statement introduced significant changes in the foreign
currency market. Exporters are now required to surrender 50% of their receipts
immediately on receipt and of this amount half (i.e. 25% of the total), will be
sold to the RBZ at the official rate of Z$824 to the US dollar and the other
half will be auctioned at the newly introduced foreign currency auction market.
The exporter retains the remaining 50% of the export proceeds in a foreign
currency account (FCA) to meet the exporter's own foreign currency requirements
and if unused after 21 days, the unutilised funds in the FCA will be sold at the
auction.



The continued viability of the new controlled foreign currency auction system
hinges on a strong supply of foreign currency to the market.



Cash Shortages

The first nine months of 2003 saw the emergence of serious cash shortages in the
economy due to a combination of the ever-rising inflation and alternative market
activities. The shortage of cash led to a serious loss of production time as
people spent long hours queuing for cash.



The cash problems were temporarily relieved when government introduced bearer
cheques in September 2003 and a new one thousand dollar note in October 2003.
The bearer cheques have been well received by the general public. In order to
come up with a long-term solution to the cash problems, there is an urgent need
for government to replace bearer cheques with higher denomination notes and a
vigorous promotion by banks of the use of plasticand electronic means of
payment settlement.



Improved concessionary financing facilities for exporters and producers

The Export and Productive Sector Financing facilities, introduced at the
beginning of 2001, were extended by the RBZ in the new Monetary Policy
statement. The facilities include the release of bank's statutory reserves for
on lending to exporters and other producers in mining, manufacturing,
agriculture, construction and tourism at 30% per annum. The policy thrust has
provided significant relief to the beneficiaries.



Monetary policy and interest rates

The Monetary Policy Statement issued in November 2002 largely guided monetary
policy interventions in 2003. In line with this policy, the Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe pursued a dual interest rate policy designed to encourage productive
and export sector activities while at the same time discouraging consumption and
speculative activities. Despite the rise in interest rates, the gap between
inflation and interest rates remained high resulting in substantially high
negative real interest rates.



The new RBZ Governor ushered in a new Monetary Policy regime on 18 December 2003
whose primary objectives are to cut inflation to below 200% by December 2004,
stabilize the foreign exchange rate and maintain a sound financial system in the
country. The central bank's ability to reduce inflation through monetary policy
interventions will depend on a strong supply response in 2004 and the ability of
the authorities to maintain sufficiently tight monetary and fiscal policies.
Inconsistencies between monetary and fiscal policies have traditionally
undermined the effectiveness of monetary policy in the past.




Economic Outlook

It is encouraging to see that stakeholders are realising the need to resolutely
implement economic policies that will turn around the economy. To return to a
growth and recovery path, the following key factors are pertinent;

*               Containment of money supply growth and runaway inflation.

*               Restoration of relationships with the international financial
                community.


We remain optimistic that, given the right economic policies and a national
passion and pride to succeed,the country will return to a growth path.





GROUP INFLATION ADJUSTED RESULTS

Introduction

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
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.



The hyperinflationary conditions affected earnings resulting in the Group
posting an inflation adjusted attributable loss of Z$28 538 million.



Compliance with International Accounting 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.



Loss before taxation

Inflation adjusted loss before taxation from continuing operations increased
from a profit of Z$94 269 million to a loss of Z$12 739 million during the
period under review.  Loss before taxation from discontinuing operations
increased from a profit of Z$886 million to a loss of Z$3 021 million.



Attributable profits

The Group recorded an inflation adjusted attributable loss of Z$28 538 million
over the adjusted result for the same period last year.



Net interest income

Net interest income from continuing operations decreased by 36% to Z$98 877
million from Z$154 213 million. The decrease was primarily a result of decreases
in income from lending and investing activities.



Non-interest income

Non-interest income from continuing operations decreased by10% and contributed
8% (2002 - 6%) of the  net operating income from continuing operations.




Operating expenses

Operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by 11% over the same
period last year and operating expenses from discontinuing operations increased
by 44%.  The decrease in the operating expenses from continuing operations was
driven by a reduction of 36% in staff costs which was partly offset by IT
related administration expenditure.



Loss on net monetary position

The loss on net monetary position occurs as a result of the restatement of
amounts to current value.  The loss of Z$84 891 million from continuing
operations and that of Z$2 870 million from discontinuing operations is based on
the inflationindex as provided by the Central Statistical Office of Zimbabwe.
The loss has been charged to income in accordance with the International
Accounting Standard 29 "Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies".



Bad and doubtful debts

A conservative approach continues to be taken with respect to provisions for bad
and doubtful debts, although on an inflation adjusted basis a marginal decrease
in the provisions from Z$8 161 million in the previous year to  Z$7 209 million
was recorded



Dividend

A final dividend of 510 cents per share has been proposed, bringing the total
historical dividend for the year to 943 cents per share, an increase of 49% from
the position at 31 December 2002.





BALANCE SHEET

Growth in Asset Base

The Group's total asset base decreased by 45% from Z$622 016 million at 31
December 2002 to Z$339 997 million.  The decrease was mainly caused by a
reduction in balance with banks and cash (51%), financial assets held for
trading (69%), quoted and other investments (93%), advances and other accounts
(26%) and Customer's indebtedness for acceptances (93%).  These were however
offset by a slight increase in property and equipment (34%).



The movement is consistent with the Group's strategy in the current economic
environment.



Capital adequacy

The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 31 December 2003 calculated
on the historic cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve Bank
was 14.51 %, (31 December 2002 - 14.14%).  The minimum required by the Reserve
Bank of Zimbabwe is 10%.



Share buy back

The directors were authorised at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 May 2003
to repurchase up to 56 million shares for cancellation.  No shares were
repurchased for cancellation for the period to 31 December 2003.



Own equity instruments

Own equity instruments previously reflected in the financial statements were
sold to offshore investors unrelated to the Group in the period underreview.
Further information is set forth at note 13.4.




CONTINENTAL SECURITIES TRADING (PRIVATE) LIMITED

A decision was taken to dispose of the Group's interest in Continental
Securities Trading (Private) Limited (CST).  A Memorandum of Understanding was
signed with the purchaser in November 2003 and the transfer of the shareholding
to the new owners was with effect from 1 January 2004.  The subsidiary
contributed negatively to Group attributable profit.





THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE (ZSE)

The number of listed companies was 82 at the end of 2003.  The total market
capitalisation during the period grew by 382% in Zimbabwe dollar terms to close
the year at Z$4 177.3 billion.



Trading in the company's shares was suspended from 7 July 2003 to 9 July 2003.
The suspension was lifted after the ZSE was provided with certain assurances
regarding the transaction referred to at note 13.4 and possible breaches of the
ZSE listing requirements.





FOREIGN EXCHANGETRADING LICENCE

The Bank's foreign exchange trading licence was withdrawn by the Central Bank
for a period of twelve months with effect from 14 August 2003.  The licence was
restored on 30 January 2004 after an appeal to the Authorities.





OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The first half of 2004 will be a difficult period for business and we anticipate
that the second half of 2004 will be less demanding as the effects of economic
stakeholders' cooperation start to take root.  Runaway inflation,shortages of
foreign currency and a deteriorating balance of payments (BOP) position will
continue to affect the economy.



We will open a few commercial branches in strategic areas in the first half of
the year coupled with a consolidation of the existing operations.  The growth of
non-funded income will continue to be a strategic imperative and initiatives are
underway to buttress this growth.





POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT

On Monday 23 February 2004, the Zimbabwe Republic Police served a notice on the
Bank concerning investigations on allegations of breaches of the Exchange
Control Act and Regulations involving two UK companies, LTB Money Transfers and
LTB Finance House. As pointed out in a notice to shareholders dated 3 March
2004, neither company is a subsidiary of the Bank and the Bank is not a
shareholder in either company. On Friday 27 February 2004, the police sought to
interview the four executive directors but they were unavailable. The Bank is
co-operating fully with the authorities and is working to achieve a speedy
resolution to this matter.





DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

In this difficult year, management and staff have shown their continued
dedication and commitment to delivering value. On behalf of the Board, and the
company's shareholders, I would like to convey my sincere appreciation to the
non-executive directors, the Managing Director, executive directors, management
and staff.




The board resolved to appoint Mr Freeman T Kembo as non-executive director on 25
November 2003 and I would like to welcome him to the board. Dr C J Constable
resigned from the board effective 1 January 2004. I would like to place on
record our thanks to Dr Constable for his contribution over the years.   On 24
February 2004, the Board appointed Dr Gibson N Mandishona as a non-executive
director and I would like to welcome him to the board.



Effective 1 March 2004, the board appointed as executive director Dr David T
Hatendi andresolved to appoint Dr Hatendi and Mr Mario L dos Remedios in the
roles of acting Managing Director and acting Finance Director respectively until
the current investigations involving the four executive directors have been
finalised. I would particularly like to welcome Dr Hatendi to the bank and thank
both gentleman for their agreement to take on this task.

CHAIRMAN

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.





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.





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.





GOING CONCERN

The Group financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.  In the
opinion of the directors, the group's business is sound and adequate resources
exist to support this basis.





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, headed by a General Manager reporting to the Chief
Executive, 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, stakeholders
and shareholders.



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.



Market risk

This arises from adverse movements in the marketplace, which occur in the money
(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, Internal Audit and Finance, inaddition 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.




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 toensure 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.



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.



The directors are happy with the risk management processes in the Bank as these
have contributed to the minimization of losses arising from risk exposures

The financial statements were approved by the Board on 23 March 2004.





4.         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
        31 December 2003             24 384.10                            1.0000
        31 December 2002              3 489.70                            6.9875
        31 December 2001              1 167.40                           20.8875



The indices have been applied to the historical costs of transactions and
balances as follows:-

*    All comparative figures as of and for the year ended 31 December 2002 have 
     been restated by applying the change in the index to 31 December 2003;

*    Income statement transactions have been restated by applying the change in 
     the index from the approximatedate of the transactions to 31 December
     2003;

*    Gains and losses arising from the monetary asset or liability positions 
     have been included in the income statement;

*    Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been restated by applying the 
     change in the index from the date of the transaction, to 31 December 2003;

*    Property and equipment, current and accumulated depreciation have been 
     restated by applying the change in the index from the date of their 
     purchase to 31 December 2003.

*    Equity has been restated by applying the change in index from the date of 
     issue.

*    All items in the cash flow statement are expressed in terms of the 
     measuring unit current at the balance sheet date.



IAS 29 discourages publication of historical results as a supplement to
inflation adjusted accounts.  The Zimbabwe Accounting Practices Board and the
Zimbabwe Stock Exchange have permitted companies in Zimbabwe to publish
historical results in conjunction with inflation adjusted accounts.

The Board decided to dispose of the Group's interest in Continental Securities
Trading (Private) Limited (CST).  A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with
the purchaser whereby CST would cease operations with effect from 30 November
2003.  The shareholding in CST by NMBZ Holdings Limited was transferred to the
purchaser on 1 January 2004 in terms of the Agreement of Sale.



The total assets taken over by the purchaser, amount to Z$290 million and total
liabilities to Z$37 million.  All trade debtors and trade creditors were taken
over by the Group.





10         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.



10.1  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.



10.2  General provisions

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



10.3  Non-performing loans

Interest on loans and advances is accrued to income until such time as
reasonable doubt exists about its collectibility, 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 Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe.

by managerial staff in the current year.

Of the unissued ordinary shares, 6 715 077 are reserved for options which may be
granted in terms of a share option scheme.  As at 31 December 2003, 357 600

13.3     Share Buy Back

At the Annual General Meeting held on 20 May 2003, shareholders authorised the
directors to purchase up to 56 000 000 (fifty six million) of the company's own
shares.  No shares were repurchased for the period to 31 December 2003.



13.4    Own Equity Instruments

Own equity instruments amounting to 52 467 333 shares (the "Shares") at a cost
of Z$2 873 million were sold initially off-market to offshore investors
unrelated to the Group in the period under review for US$2.714 million (Z$2 280
million at the official exchange rate).  This transaction has been accounted for
in terms of IAS 32 which provides that no gain or loss is recognised in the
income statement on the sale, issuance or cancellation of these shares.
Consideration received is presented in the financial statements as a change in
equity.  Accordingly, the loss on disposal of the own equity instruments has
been charged to revenue reserves in the statement of changes in equity.
