THE FUND AND ITS ACTIVITIES
Al-Ahli Freestyle Saudi Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a Shariah compliant, open-end Shariah compliant fund, managed by NCB Capital Company ("the Fund Manager"), a subsidiary of The National Commercial Bank (“the Bank”), for the benefit of the Fund's Unitholders. The Fund is established under Article 30 of the Investment Fund Regulations (the Regulations) issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA). NCB Capital Company also acts as the custodian of the Fund. As defined in CMA’s Regulation No. 2-832005 dated 21 Jumada Awal 1426H (28 June, 2005) the Fund Manager conducts following securities’ activities: a) b) c) d) e)
Dealing; Arranging; Managing; Advising; Custody;
The Fund's objective is to achieve long term capital growth by actively managing a concentrated portfolio of Shariah complaint companies in the Saudi equity market. The Fund will not make any distributions to Unitholders. Instead, capital gains and dividends will be reinvested. Surplus cash may be invested in Shariah compliant Murabaha funds. The terms and conditions of the Fund were approved by the Capital Markets Authority (“CMA”) on 29 December 2014 (corresponding to 7 Rabi Al-Awwal 1436 H). The Fund commenced its activities on 12 January 2015. The results for the six months period ended 30 June 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2017. 2
REGULATING AUTHORITY
The Fund is governed by the Regulations issued by the CMA pursuant to resolution number 7-219-2006 dated 3 Dhul Hijja 1427H (corresponding to 24 December 2006) as amended by the Resolution No 1/61/2016 of Board of the CMA dated 16 Sha’ban 1437H (corresponding to 23 May 2016), which provided detailed requirements for all funds within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 3
SUBSCRIPTION AND REDEMPTION
The Fund is open for subscriptions / redemptions of units on every Saudi Business day. The net asset value of the Fund is determined on each Saudi Business day.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia promulgated by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants ("SOCPA"). The Fund prepares its interim financial statements as at and for the period ended on its last valuation date (note 11). The Fund presents comparative numbers of December in Balance Sheet and its related notes as additional information for benefit of Unitholders. Basis of measurement These interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention using the accrual basis of accounting and the going concern concept, except for held for trading investments which are carried at fair value. Functional and presentational currency These interim financial statements are presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SR), which is the Fund’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals has been rounded to the nearest thousand. Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting standards as applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim financial statements interim financial statements have been consistent with those used in the preparation of annual financial statements of the Funds for the year ended 31 December 2016. Valuation of financial assets Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As the Fund's financial instruments are accounted for under the historical cost convention, except for held for trading investments, differences may arise between the carrying values and fair values. The Fund Manager believes that at the reporting date, the fair values of the Fund's financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Use of estimates and judgments (continued) Valuation of financial assets (continued) The Fund 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 price (unadjusted) in an active market 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 asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
All financial assets of the fund, carried at fair value at the reporting date, are classified under hierarchy level 1. 5
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these interim financial statements. a)
Held for trading investments
Securities listed or traded on a stock exchange are classified as Held for Trading and are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair values of held for trading investments (“investments”), comprising unrealised gains and losses are included in the statement of income. Realised gains and losses on investments sold are determined on weighted average basis. b)
Investment transaction
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the trade date which is the date on which Fund becomes a part to the contractual provisions of the instrument. c)
Impairment of financial assets
An assessment is made at the balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. If a financial asset is impaired, impairment is determined as follows: (i) For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of income; (ii) For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset; (iii) For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective commission rate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d)
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where: (i) (ii) (iii)
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or The Fund has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset; and Either (a) the Fund has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Fund has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Fund has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Fund’s continuing involvement in the asset. e)
Revenue recognition
Realised gains and losses on investments sold are determined on an average cost basis. Dividends are recognised when the Fund’s right to receive the payment is established. Increases or decreases in the difference between the cost and market value of the Fund’s portfolio of investments are receognised as change in fair value of investments in the statement of income. f)
Foreign currency translation
Transactions during the year in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilit ies that are denominated in a foreign currency are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are reflected in the statement of income. g)
Taxation / zakat
Taxation / zakat is the obligation of the Unitholders such liability is made in these financial statements. h)
and therefore, no provision for
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cashflows, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances. i)
Net asset value per unit
The net asset value per unit is calculated by dividing the net assets attributable to Unitholders included in the balance sheet by the number of units outstanding at the period end.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
j)
Provision and accruals
Provisions and accruals are recognized when the Fund has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably. k)
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported net in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and when the Fund intends to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions. 6
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in current accounts with National Commercial Bank (a related party). 7
MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER EXPENSES
The Fund is managed and administered by the Fund Manager. For these services, the Fund accrues, on each valuation day, a management fee, as determined by the Fund Manager, but which is no more than the maximum annual rate of 1.75%, as set out in the Fund’s terms and conditions, of the Fund's net assets on those dates. The Fund Manager is also entitled to recover expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund relating to audit, legal, custody, data processing and other similar charges, etc. The maximum amount of such expenses that can be recovered from the Fund by the Fund Manager are restricted to 1% per annum of the Fund's net assets at the respective valuation days. These expenses have been recovered by the Fund Manager on actual basis. Furthermore, the Fund Manager is entitled to a subscription fee of 2% at the time of the investment in the Fund by a Unitholder. This fee may be waived at the discretion of the Fund manager. Until 23 July 2016, the Fund Manager was allocated units against settlement of the management fee and other expenses on every valuation day, which were reinvested in the Fund. Subsequent to this date, these fees/charges are paid in cash.

THE FUND AND ITS ACTIVITIES
Al-Ahli Freestyle Saudi Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a Shariah compliant, open-end Shariah compliant fund, managed by NCB Capital Company ("the Fund Manager"), a subsidiary of The National Commercial Bank (“the Bank”), for the benefit of the Fund's Unitholders. The Fund is established under Article 30 of the Investment Fund Regulations (the Regulations) issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA). NCB Capital Company also acts as the custodian of the Fund. As defined in CMA’s Regulation No. 2-832005 dated 21 Jumada Awal 1426H (28 June, 2005) the Fund Manager conducts following securities’ activities: a) b) c) d) e)
Dealing; Arranging; Managing; Advising; Custody;
The Fund's objective is to achieve long term capital growth by actively managing a concentrated portfolio of Shariah complaint companies in the Saudi equity market. The Fund will not make any distributions to Unitholders. Instead, capital gains and dividends will be reinvested. Surplus cash may be invested in Shariah compliant Murabaha funds. The terms and conditions of the Fund were approved by the Capital Markets Authority (“CMA”) on 29 December 2014 (corresponding to 7 Rabi Al-Awwal 1436 H). The Fund commenced its activities on 12 January 2015. The results for the six months period ended 30 June 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2017. 2
REGULATING AUTHORITY
The Fund is governed by the Regulations issued by the CMA pursuant to resolution number 7-219-2006 dated 3 Dhul Hijja 1427H (corresponding to 24 December 2006) as amended by the Resolution No 1/61/2016 of Board of the CMA dated 16 Sha’ban 1437H (corresponding to 23 May 2016), which provided detailed requirements for all funds within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 3
SUBSCRIPTION AND REDEMPTION
The Fund is open for subscriptions / redemptions of units on every Saudi Business day. The net asset value of the Fund is determined on each Saudi Business day. All transactions for the purpose of purchase / sale are entered on the net assets value of the Fund, determined by dividing the value of net assets of the Fund by the total number of outstanding Fund units on the relevant Valuation day.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia promulgated by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants ("SOCPA"). The Fund prepares its interim financial statements as at and for the period ended on its last valuation date (note 11). The Fund presents comparative numbers of December in Balance Sheet and its related notes as additional information for benefit of Unitholders. Basis of measurement These interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention using the accrual basis of accounting and the going concern concept, except for held for trading investments which are carried at fair value. Functional and presentational currency These interim financial statements are presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals (SR), which is the Fund’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Saudi Arabian Riyals has been rounded to the nearest thousand. Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting standards as applicable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim financial statements interim financial statements have been consistent with those used in the preparation of annual financial statements of the Funds for the year ended 31 December 2016. Valuation of financial assets Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As the Fund's financial instruments are accounted for under the historical cost convention, except for held for trading investments, differences may arise between the carrying values and fair values. The Fund Manager believes that at the reporting date, the fair values of the Fund's financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Use of estimates and judgments (continued) Valuation of financial assets (continued) The Fund 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 price (unadjusted) in an active market 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 asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: Fair value measurement using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
All financial assets of the fund, carried at fair value at the reporting date, are classified under hierarchy level 1. 5
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these interim financial statements. a)
Held for trading investments
Securities listed or traded on a stock exchange are classified as Held for Trading and are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair values of held for trading investments (“investments”), comprising unrealised gains and losses are included in the statement of income. Realised gains and losses on investments sold are determined on weighted average basis. b)
Investment transaction
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the trade date which is the date on which Fund becomes a part to the contractual provisions of the instrument. c)
Impairment of financial assets
An assessment is made at the balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. If a financial asset is impaired, impairment is determined as follows: (i) For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of income; (ii) For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between carrying value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset; (iii) For assets carried at amortised cost, impairment is the difference between carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective commission rate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
d)
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where: (i) (ii) (iii)
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or The Fund has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset; and Either (a) the Fund has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Fund has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Fund has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Fund’s continuing involvement in the asset. e)
Revenue recognition
Realised gains and losses on investments sold are determined on an average cost basis. Dividends are recognised when the Fund’s right to receive the payment is established. Increases or decreases in the difference between the cost and market value of the Fund’s portfolio of investments are receognised as change in fair value of investments in the statement of income. f)
Foreign currency translation
Transactions during the year in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilit ies that are denominated in a foreign currency are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are reflected in the statement of income. g)
Taxation / zakat
Taxation / zakat is the obligation of the Unitholders such liability is made in these financial statements. h)
and therefore, no provision for
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cashflows, cash and cash equivalents consists of bank balances. i)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
j)
Provision and accruals
Provisions and accruals are recognized when the Fund has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and can be measured reliably. k)
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported net in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and when the Fund intends to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under accounting standards generally accepted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions. 6
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in current accounts with National Commercial Bank (a related party). 7
MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER EXPENSES
The Fund is managed and administered by the Fund Manager. For these services, the Fund accrues, on each valuation day, a management fee, as determined by the Fund Manager, but which is no more than the maximum annual rate of 1.75%, as set out in the Fund’s terms and conditions, of the Fund's net assets on those dates. The Fund Manager is also entitled to recover expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund relating to audit, legal, custody, data processing and other similar charges, etc. The maximum amount of such expenses that can be recovered from the Fund by the Fund Manager are restricted to 1% per annum of the Fund's net assets at the respective valuation days. These expenses have been recovered by the Fund Manager on actual basis. Furthermore, the Fund Manager is entitled to a subscription fee of 2% at the time of the investment in the Fund by a Unitholder. This fee may be waived at the discretion of the Fund manager. Until 23 July 2016, the Fund Manager was allocated units against settlement of the management fee and other expenses on every valuation day, which were reinvested in the Fund. Subsequent to this date, these fees/charges are paid in cash.
