Chairman's Statement



The six months to 30 June 2004 was an extremely challenging period for the
country and the financial services sector.  Features of the macro-economic
landscape during the period included:

*          Decline in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
*          Receding inflationary environment and decline in money supply
           growth.
*          High domestic debt.
*          Weak Balance of Payments (BOP) position.

Some positive developments during the period were:

*          Improved inflows of foreign currency through the official financial
           system.
*          Concessionary financing for exporters and producers under the
           Productive Sector Financing facility.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

Decline in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The decline in real Gross Domestic Product that has been witnessed in the last
few years is expected to be partly arrested by a better agricultural season and
some positive measures put in place to revive the productive sectors of the
economy. While the major focus seems to be on the agricultural sector, the
industrial base that has been built up should not be neglected. At its peak, the
manufacturing sector contributed an estimated 24% of GDP and it is essential
that beneficiation and value-addition be enhanced to become the engine of growth
for the economy. It is imperative that Government should continue with
appropriate policies to support the productive sectors of the economy in order
to enhance national revenues and a return to economic growth and prosperity.

Receding inflationary environment and decline in money supply growth.

The central bank aims to reduce inflation significantly from a peak of 622% in
January 2004 to below 200% by year-end, and beyond double-digit levels by
December 2005 and thereafter to single digit levels. Control of the growth in
money supply has seen year-on-year inflation fall from 622% in January 2004, to
448% in May 2004, 394.6% in June 2004 and 362% in July 2004. Inflation is
projected to continue declining due to monetary and fiscal restraints.

High Domestic Debt

Domestic debt, which stood at Z$590.5 billion at 31 December 2003, rose to Z$1.4
trillion at 25 June 2004.  Treasury Bills, which are mainly 2 year paper,
account for 93% (Z$1.3 trillion) while government stock accounts for the balance
of 7%.  The Government intends to further restructure the domestic debt in the
second half of the year.

Weak Balance of Payments (BOP) position

The country's BOP position has remained weak, largely as a result of poor export
performance, continuing importer demand coupled with the absence of adequate
external capital inflows.  Incentives that have been put in place, together with
the improved foreign exchange monitoring should see an increase in the figures
for exports of goods and services, but some difficult steps remain to ensure an
improvement in total foreign exchange inflows into the country. The capital
account remains in deficit although this deficit is expected to decline from
around US$309 million in 2003 to about US$270 million this year.

Foreign Exchange Market and Exchange Rate Policy

The controlled foreign currency auction has settled in to a pattern, but demand
for foreign currency continues to outstrip supply.  The amount of foreign
currency available at each auction has been increased marginally.  Exporters
continue to be unhappy with the exchange rate applied to them, although certain
incentives for early or pre-payments have helped.  More export incentives and a
market driven exchange rate are required to stimulate export growth. Foreign
currency inflows through the official channels have improved significantly owing
to tighter controls by the monetary authorities and the introduction of the
Homelink facility to tap what has become to be known as the Zimbabwean diaspora.

Improved concessionary financing facilities for exporters and producers

The Reserve Bank has extended the Export and Productive Sector Financing
facilities. The facilities allow for the release of banks' statutory reserves
for on lending to exporters and other producers in mining, manufacturing,
agriculture, construction and tourism at a concessionary rate currently 50% per
annum. This policy thrust has provided significant relief to the beneficiaries.

Financial Services Sector

The new Monetary Policy regime that was ushered in late last year has seen
dramatic changes in the financial services sector.  Out of the forty-one
institutions that comprise the market, six are under curatorship, two are in
liquidation and four have remained beneficiaries of the Troubled Bank Fund.
With more stringent requirements in the offing, the sector is likely to see more
mergers and acquisitions and pronounced restructuring.

COMMENTARY ON GROUP RESULTS

Introduction

The turbulent macro-economic conditions continue to subdue earnings in the
Group. The Bank has, however, continued to grow its infrastructure, improve its
systems and increase its asset and customer base.

Attributable Profit

The inflation adjusted attributable profit of Z$5 179 million was recorded
compared to a loss of Z$818 million in  2003. Historical attributable profit
grew a disappointing 58.75% to Z$14 667 million (2003 - Z$9 239 million),
although this showed a great improvement in the trend on the preceding six month
period to 31 December 2003.

Net Interest Income

Net inflation adjusted interest income at Z$60 015 million contributed 82% (2003
- 45%) to net operating income as the Group continues to grow this core
business, also aiming to grow deposits in retail banking to fund this.  Lending
also grew as clients were assisted to access the cheaper statutory reserve funds
offered by the RBZ for the Export and Productive sectors.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income at Z$12 882 million in inflation-adjusted terms contributed
18% (2003 - 55%) of net operating income.

Operating Expenses

Inflation adjusted operating expenditure increased by 11% over the same period
last year.  The inflation adjusted cost to income ratio increased to 59% (2003 -
31%) reflecting a sharp decline in revenues caused by upheavals in the financial
services sector in the first quarter of the year and high costs of maintaining
operations.

Charge for doubtful debts

The charge for the six month period, after factoring in the exposure at the
concessionary rates, decreased by 21% to Z$7 020 million (2003 - Z$8 873
million).   The Board continues to adopt a conservative approach on provisions
in view of the unstable macro-economic environment.

Dividend

In view of the need to conserve cash resources and capital, no interim dividend
has been proposed.

BALANCE SHEET

In inflation adjusted terms, the asset base at 30 June 2004 fell by 3% to Z$702
981 million from Z$722 154 million at 30 June 2003.   The decrease was caused by
a decline in balances with banks and cash which fell to Z$168 081 million from
$198 112 million, financial assets held for trading which decreased to Z$185 590
million from Z$291 115 million and customers indebtedness for acceptances which
decreased to Z$43 705 million from Z$70 464 million.

In historical cost terms, the total historical asset base grew 347.5% to Z$614
748 million from Z$137 373 million. It was also gratifying to note that
historical deposits increased 814.1% to Z$251 177 million from Z$27 477 million.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The banking subsidiary's capital adequacy ratio at 30 June 2004 calculated on
the historical cost basis in accordance with the guidelines of the RBZ was 8.37%
(30 June 2003 - 22.13%, 31 December 2003 - 14.51%). This compares unfavourably
with the Reserve Bank's minimum ratio of 10%.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

Negotiations concerning possible strategic partnerships referred to in
cautionary announcements to shareholders from the beginning of June 2004 were
deferred in August 2004.

GROWTH IN CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND SERVICE STRUCTURES

Despite the negative conditions, the Bank continued to improve its
infrastructure, information technology and systems to support its customers.
Notable achievements included:

*         The opening of a spacious modern branch with ample parking to serve
          the bank's customers in the Southerton industrial area of Harare
*         Following the granting of a licence for a Money Transfer Agency by the
          Reserve Bank, the opening of a facility to receive funds from the 
          diaspora in conjunction with a leading UK partner
*         The launch of a vastly improved internet banking platform

These should provide an impetus to improved efficiency and customer appeal.

OUTLOOK

Economy

It is comforting to see that stakeholders in the Zimbabwe economy are realizing
the need to resolutely implement economic and monetary policies that will turn
around the economy.  The failure to exercise restraint on wages and other costs
such as fuel, will militate against inflation targets and further worsen the
chances of economic revival and stability. To achieve economic recovery and
growth, the following factors are pertinent;

*          Continued containment of money supply growth and inflation.
*          Restoration of relationships with the international financial
           community.

We remain optimistic that, given the right economic and monetary policies and a
national commitment to embrace success, the country will continue on a recovery
and growth path.

Group

The consolidation and rationalisation of the existing operations will continue
in the second half of the year.  The growth of non-funded income and expansion
in business volumes will continue to be a strategic focus and initiatives are
currently in progress to see these to fruition.

LITIGATION

The Bank has received two (2) notices of the State's intention to bring court
proceedings relating to alleged dealings on the foreign exchange parallel
market.  The allegations are similar in nature to those that resulted in the
suspension of the Bank's foreign exchange trading licence in August 2003 for a
period of twelve months.  The licence was restored in January 2004 after an
appeal hearing.  Based on legal advice received, the bank intends to defend the
proceedings.

DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

Effective 1 March 2004, the Board appointed as executive director Dr D T Hatendi
and resolved to appoint Dr Hatendi and Mr Mario L dos Remedios in the roles of
acting Managing Director and acting Finance Director respectively. Following
receipt of a communication from Dr J T Makoni, Messrs. J A Mushore, F Zimuto and
O O Chekeche's decision to relinquish their positions as executive directors of
NMB Bank Limited with immediate effect, the Board, at its meeting held on 1 June
2004, accepted the resignations of the four executive directors.  F Zimuto and O
O Chekeche also resigned from the Board of NMBZ Holdings Limited.  The Board
resolved to confirm Dr D T Hatendi and Mr M L dos Remedios respectively, as
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of NMB Bank
Limited and NMBZ Holdings Limited.

I would particularly like to welcome Dr Hatendi to the Bank and thank both
gentlemen for their agreement to take on this task.

CONCLUSION

I would like to thank our clients 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 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.       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.

5.       RISK MANAGEMENT

5.1     Risk management structures

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 Officer, is responsible for the management of the overall risk
profile.

The Group's main objective is to contain the risk 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.

The risk management committees of the bank are the Loans Review Committee (LRC),
Audit Committee (AC), Credit Committee (CC) and the Assets and Liabilities
Committee (ALCO).

The LRC and the AC are board level committees. The LRC reviews the bank's
lending policies for enforcement by the Risk Management department. The LRC also
meets regularly, at least once a quarter, to review the bank's loan book and to
assess the adequacy of provisions for doubtful debts. The committee is made up
of two non-executive directors and the Chief Financial Officer.

The AC is made up of four non-executive directors and one executive director as
an invitee.  The committee's main mandate is to review the bank's financial
statements before their approval by the Board, to recommend the appointment of
external auditors and their fees and to assess the effectiveness of the bank's
internal controls through the bank's internal audit function.

The CC sanctions loan approvals according to the amount requested by a
borrower.

The ALCO decides on the best mix of assets and liabilities. The committee also
ensures that the interest rate, liquidity and foreign exchange risks being
carried by the bank are acceptable and are in line with the approved policies of
the Board. The committee meets monthly, or as necessary, and is chaired by the
General Manager Risk department, with its membership being the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and departmental heads of Treasury, Corporate
banking, Retail banking and Finance.

5.2     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.

5.3     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 all 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.

5.4     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.

5.5     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 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

During the period under review, the Bank has submitted all compliance reports to
the Monetary Authorities on time, save for one instance when the BSD I Form
(Capital Adequacy Return) for the first quarter was submitted late.  As a result
of the late submission, the Bank was fined Z$50 000.  We remain committed to
comply with and adhere to all regulatory requirements.

NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1.             Accounting Policies

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the
accounting policies set out in the financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2003.

2.             Compliance with International Accounting Standards (IASs)

The Group's interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
IASs.

3.             Currency

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

4.             Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and
restated in accordance with IAS 29, which requires that the results be stated in
terms of the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date.  The index used
was based on the closing index value for 30 June 2004.  The comparative figures
for the six months ended 30 June 2003 and the financial year ended 31 December
2003 have been restated based on the value current at 30 June 2004.  The income
statement for the six month period was derived from monthly index values
relative to 30 June 2004.  The comparative income statements have been restated
on average index values for the respective periods relative to  30 June 2004.

The interim report was approved by the Board on  31 August 2004.

Indices

The indices used were compiled by the Central Statistical Office of Zimbabwe and
are based on the Consumer Price Index which is the most widely accepted measure
of the inflation rate available.



The indices and conversion factors were as follows:



                       Indices            Conversion factors

June 2004             37 741.4            1.0000

December 2003         24 384.1            1.5478

June 2003              7 631.4            4.9455

IAS 29 discourages the 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 results.
