CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Arcapita has ended fiscal year (“FY”) 2015 successfully, having achieved revenues of $35.5 million and net income of $11.4 million, representing increases of 21% and 13% respectively over FY 2014. Total equity as at June 30, 2015 amounted to $81.1 million, including approximately $61.7 million of funded capital, $14.9 million of retained earnings and $4.7 million in proposed dividend distribution, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Financial performance during FY 2015 was driven by the accelerated exit of several investments and the enhanced value of the investment portfolio. During FY 2015, we generated approximately $2.3 billion in exit proceeds for our investors through the sale of a number of significant assets including Arcapita Qatar Real Estate Investment (Lusail), Arcapita Senior Living IV, PODS and J.Jill in the United States, and Freightliner in the United Kingdom. We are pleased with the profitable outcome of these investments, which follow a series of positive and notable exits achieved by Arcapita over the past two years.
Our ability to create value by driving operational and financial improvements within the investment portfolio was a critical success factor in achieving our year-end targets. We have dedicated significant resources over the past few years to developing our portfolio management expertise and this has yielded positive results. Our investment teams create value by efficiently allocating capital, accelerating the growth of key revenue lines, streamlining operations and ensuring management incentives are aligned. Market conditions were also a key success factor in helping us achieve strong exits this year. Lower oil prices, buoyant equity markets and the abundant supply of low-cost financing have created a favorable environment for exits.
We continue to focus on maximizing the value of the investment portfolio we manage on behalf of our investors and on introducing new investment opportunities. We have an active new deal pipeline and expect to complete a number of new investments across global markets over the next 12 months.
In May 2015, Arcapita signed an agreement with Mubadala Development Company to acquire a residential complex of three-low rise buildings within the gated Saadiyat Beach Residences
Abdulaziz Hamad Aljomaih
Chairman
ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 7
community in Abu Dhabi (“Saadiyat Beach Apartments”) for a total transaction value of approximately $187 million. The residential complex is under a three-year master lease to the Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), a sovereign Abu Dhabi entity. Constructed in 2013 to high-quality standards, the complex is composed of 285 apartments and is designed to foster a close-knit community while providing high-end facilities and amenities. We believe that our investment in Saadiyat Islands offers unique access to the residential real estate sector in Abu Dhabi, which is driven by large government-led development projects, a fast-growing population and a limited supply of high-quality residential apartments.
We will continue to pursue investments in sectors where (i) Arcapita’s management team has a strong track record and has built significant expertise; (ii) we have a clear opportunity to generate superior risk-adjusted returns; and (iii) we have sufficient demand from our clients.
Arcapita is focused on growing its real estate and private equity product offerings. We will seek stabilized real estate assets offering investors a recurring income stream with a target size of approximately $50 to $150 million in equity capital. Arcapita anticipates partnering reputable joint venture partners and asset managers, as appropriate. We hope to pursue private equity opportunities. We intend to source and acquire controlling and non-controlling interests in established, US middle market companies with a target size of approximately $25 to $100 million in equity capital. We will also leverage our existing capabilities to introduce and grow a range of service offerings including managed accounts and real estate solutions.
We believe that Arcapita is well positioned to take advantage of the dynamic economic landscape. Our strength comes from the diversity and commitment of our people, our global network of relationships and from our unique investor relationships. We are keen to continue executing our growth plan in line with our new corporate investment philosophy, which includes:
• Maintaining a balance sheet-light model that adopts a more conservative approach to underwriting new investments, and relies on pre-placements and ”club” syndications;
• Maintaining a flexible cost base relative to our peers, together with a culture of accountability; and
• Deepening our risk management expertise through a comprehensive capital allocation process and risk management framework to guide our new investment activity.
Arcapita’s Board and management team is focused on maximizing value for our shareholders and investors, and we are grateful for the active support of all of our stakeholders. In particular, we recognize the contribution of the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Central Bank of Bahrain in our continued success. We look forward to another successful year ahead.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S MESSAGE
We have built a global investment platform with the capability to access investment opportunities across the core markets of the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Today, Arcapita has a diversified business model and a management team that brings experience and expertise across different investment areas. We aim to deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders and investors using our sectoral and geographic insights and a risk-adjusted approach to investing.
Over the years, we have played a major part in providing access to alternative investments for Shari’ah-aligned investors and we have completed transactions valued at approximately $30 billion. We believe in the importance and value of long-term relationships with our shareholders, our investors and our investment partners, and our model stresses the importance of aligned interests. We use these partnerships to bring a wide range of different skills and experiences to our investments, enhancing transaction access and execution for the benefit of all stakeholders.
We are proud to announce that we exceeded our revenue and net income targets for fiscal 2014 and 2015 and we expect to maintain this momentum by exceeding our targets for fiscal 2016. The robust financial performance during the last two years has been driven mainly by the positive performance of our investment portfolio. Arcapita management team has delivered in excess of $3.0 billion in exit proceeds to our investors from 16 exits achieved during the past 24 months.
As a result of the accelerated pace of exit activity, our investment team’s efforts are now focused on making new investments. With an active deal pipeline across all of our markets, a strong balance sheet footing, committed shareholder base and a quality management team, we look forward to introducing a range of new investment opportunities for our investors during fiscal 2016.

Real Estate
Overview
Arcapita’s real estate team acts as a principal, arranger and manager of real estate investments, operating out of its offices in Atlanta, London, Bahrain and Singapore. Its experienced real estate professionals analyze opportunities across a broad spectrum of transaction structures, geographies and return profiles in an effort to provide a diverse mix of attractive real estate investment opportunities to investors. To date, Arcapita’s senior management have completed real estate investments in the industrial and logistics warehousing, self-storage, residential, senior living, mixed-use, business parks and retail sectors. The team has completed investments across the world; from North America, through Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
In support of Arcapita’s overall business strategy, and to provide more diverse investment opportunities for investors, the real estate team at Arcapita extended its focus to develop initiatives that include the establishment and management of real estate investment funds. In addition to real estate funds, the team is also focused on
providing more real estate financial services and solutions by leveraging its experience in specific real estate sectors.
Arcapita’s investment model has been developed and refined over a large number of investments and structures. The process begins with Arcapita sourcing projects, from direct approaches made to partners and sellers, and by working with specialist intermediaries within the real estate industry. Arcapita performs project analysis and due diligence in varying degrees on sourced projects. A full investment process typically lasts between two to six months. The real estate team also carefully assesses potential risks associated with the project, from broad macroeconomic trends to more narrowly defined issues specific to the particular project. Arcapita consults closely with its co-investment partners, and reviews extensive analysis of the post-acquisition execution and exit strategies for realizing value over the investment term.
The real estate team typically seeks to exit from investments within three to seven years, depending on the type of investment and the market. Partial or full exit may occur through recapitalization, private sale or public sale.
ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 11
Portfolio Management in Real Estate
Arcapita’s portfolio management approach is designed to ensure the highest possible performance of each of its real estate investments. After closing the transaction, the asset managers, corporate management teams or joint venture partners are directly responsible for the execution of the business plan. Arcapita works closely with these partners to monitor and evaluate the progress of each real estate investment. Early in the ownership period, the deal team works with its partners to identify the primary operating statistics to be monitored through regular meetings and reports. In this fashion, the deal team is able to apply continuous oversight to each investment. On a bi-monthly or quarterly basis, the deal team receives an asset performance report which includes a comprehensive set of marketing and financial updates for the investment and, on an annual basis, the deal team also receives and reviews audited financial statements for every investment.
The deal team conducts on-site operational reviews on a quarterly basis. At these sessions, the team conducts a deeper assessment of the investment’s performance, working with the operating partner to understand the underlying factors influencing current/future performance. This process helps to ensure early recognition of any performance concerns, and to determine appropriate course corrections, if necessary. More extensive involvement is undertaken as needed.
Private Equity
Overview
Arcapita acts as a principal and arranger in the acquisition of established middle-market companies, with an emphasis on the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The firm targets growth-oriented corporate acquisitions with a total transaction size between $50 million and $300 million per transaction. Arcapita focuses on sectors where its management team have established industry knowledge and a successful track record. Future acquisitions will most likely be in the transportation & logistics, food & beverage and industrial/energy sectors.
Arcapita looks for companies that score highly in a number of important areas. These companies should have innovative products or services; growing market positions and strong management teams, in place or identified; be capable of building shareholder value through market strength in product line, technology, distribution, manufacturing or brand; a clear business strategy with multiple avenues for growth and market share gains; industry growth drivers that are fundamental and compelling; and exit potential through a financial or strategic sale, or IPO. Furthermore, Arcapita targets companies where it has a unique angle to secure the acquisition or to create value thereafter. In practice, this has arisen from transactions being offered to Arcapita on a proprietary basis, the opportunity to install a new expert management team, a special situation or industry knowledge that leads to identification of an opportunity, or in situations where Arcapita is able to leverage its extensive network of business relationships to the advantage of the target company, especially within the Middle East.
Once an acquisition is completed, and the target company becomes part of the private equity portfolio, Arcapita’s executives work closely with the portfolio company management team in establishing a clearly defined business plan for creating equity value, while designing a tailored capital structure and management equity incentives to foster growth and profitability. Arcapita aims to nurture and grow the investments through the holding period with strategic and financial support when necessary and, at the appropriate time, to position the company for sale to a financial or strategic buyer, or through an IPO.
Portfolio Management in Private Equity
Arcapita’s portfolio management approach is designed to ensure the highest possible performance of each of its portfolio companies - bringing critical insights, strategic capabilities and world-class best practices in delivering superior investor returns. Arcapita’s portfolio management approach is applied in each of the critical stages of an asset ownership process—including pre-acquisition and due diligence, early ownership, the core
ownership period and the process leading to exit. Prior to the acquisition of a company, we conduct market and operational due diligence, along with an assessment of the management team.
During the critical early ownership period, the approach includes process disciplines in the areas of strategy, operations, and people management, as well as leading-edge board governance and audit protocols. Early on, we work with senior management to identify the key industry and company-specific operating and financial measures that best reflect the true performance levers for a particular business. We design incentive plans to encourage and motivate management teams to meet agreed-upon metrics. Through a disciplined program of monthly performance reviews and quarterly board meetings, we work with each management team to evaluate the company’s performance, ensure early recognition of any deviations from expected performance and determine appropriate course corrections. More extensive involvement is undertaken as needed. During the ownership period, Arcapita executives serve as members of each company’s Board of Directors, seeking to increase the value of the investment in three primary ways: (1) assisting management in defining and continuously updating the optimal three to five year action-based strategy, (2) identifying and driving initiatives in the company’s annual operating plans that improve the near-term operating performance of the business and support achievement of ambitious financial objectives, and (3) improving the company’s human resource management and succession planning. We also regularly identify opportunities where our functional capabilities (both in-house and with selected third-party advisors) can be leveraged in support of marketing, sales, and growth-related initiatives, as well as cost reduction, working capital reduction, process improvement and supply chain initiatives. Finally, we also play a critical role in evaluating, selecting, and developing CEO candidates, and often assist the CEO in the recruitment and selection of senior management team members.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITYFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 27
ARCAPITA GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1 ORGANISATION AND ACTIVITIES
Arcapita Group Holdings Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 30 December 2013 as an exempt company. The registered office of the Company is at P.O. Box 1111, George Town, Grand Cayman, British West Indies. The Company and its subsidiaries (together the ‘Group’) provide alternative Islamic financial products.
These consolidated financial statements have were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 12 July 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The consolidated financial statements have been presented in US Dollars (USD) being the functional currency of the Group and all values are rounded to the nearest USD thousand, except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
3 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2015. Control is achieved if and only if the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee,
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements, and
- The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Company acquired control of AIM Group Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) on 30 January 2014. As at the time of acquisition Aljomaih Company Limited E.C wholly controlled both the Company and AIM Group Limited and as a result the business combination was excluded from IFRS 3 : Business Combination and the use of the acquisition method of accounting for the consolidation. Thus, for the prior period consolidated financial statements, the Group included the results of the combining entities for the full financial period ended 30 June 2014 irrespective of when the combination took place.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201528
- Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary,
- Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests,
- Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity,
- Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received,
- Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained,
- Recognizes any surplus or deficit in the income statement, and
- Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Significant judgments applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are given below:
Going concern
The Group’s Board of Directors has made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the Board of Directors is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
Impairment of financial assets
The management of the Group reviews its individually significant financial assets at each statement of financial position date to assess whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the statement of income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss.
Assets that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all individually insignificant assets are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to determine whether impairment should be made due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not yet evident.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Group measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each date of statement of financial position. 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201530
interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
5 NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the disclosure relating to the following new and amended IFRS and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (the “IFRIC”) interpretations which became effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014:
IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated financial statements’ (IFRS 10) and Amendments to IFRS 10
The objective of IFRS 10 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements. It sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee. It also sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The amendments to IFRS 10 define an investment entity and introduce an exception from the consolidation requirements for investment entities. On adoption the Group has determined that it meets the definition of an investment entity and has therefore accounted for its investment in companies in which it may have control, at fair value through the statement of income.
IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’ (IFRS 12) and amendments to IFRS 12
The standard requires entities to disclose significant judgements and assumptions made in determining whether the entity controls, jointly controls, significantly influences or has some other interests in other entities. Entities will also be required to provide more disclosures around certain ‘structured entities’. The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements related to investment entities. Adoption of the standard has impacted the Group’s level of disclosures, but has not impacted the carrying value of assets in the Group’s consolidated financial position.
6 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below:
a) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) Financial assets
Financial assets comprise of cash and cash equivalent, receivables and investment.
Initial recognition
The Group classifies its financial assets into two categories: at fair value through income statement and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired or transferred to the Group. The Board of Directors determines the classification of its financial assets upon initial recognition.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through income statement, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at fair value through income statement
Financial assets designated at fair value through income statement upon inception are those that are not held for trading but are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Group’s objectives. The Group’s objectives require the Board of Directors to evaluate information about these assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through income statement are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 31
Receivables
These are non-derivative financial assets that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at fair value plus transaction costs. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR), less impairment. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Balances with banks and receivables which have fixed or determinable payments are classified as receivables.
An allowance for doubtful receivables is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Receivables are written off when there is no possibility of recovery.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
i. the right to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
ii. the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass- through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and borrowings and payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of income, when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the effective interest rate method (EIR) amortisation process.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the consolidated statement of income.
b) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if and only if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201532
c) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and able to be reliably measured.
d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Fee income
The fee income represents income the Group earns for investment placement, investment structuring and arranging, asset management and administrative services rendered in accordance to the contractual terms agreed between the parties.
Placement and arrangement fee
The Company earns arrangement and placement fees during the acquisition and placement process for rendering investment management services. These fees are recognised when earned based on the signed share purchase agreements by the Company.
e) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into USD at exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Any gains or losses are recognized in the statement of income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial recognition. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange gains and losses on non-monetary items classified as “fair value through statement of income” are taken to the consolidated statement of income and for items classified as “fair value through equity” such differences are taken to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
f) Payables, accruals and provisions
Provisions are made when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
g) Standards issued but not yet effective
Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Group’s consolidated financial statements are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Group reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Group intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the IASB’s work though the adoption date is subject to the recently issued Exposure Draft on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, but amendments to IFRS 9 issued in November 2013, removed the mandatory effective date of 1 January 2015 for IFRS 9. A new mandatory date for IFRS 9 will be determined by the IASB when IFRS 9 is closer to completion.

18 INVESTOR FUNDS
From time to time the Group receives funds from or due to its investors. These funds are placed in a segregated client account with an established reputed international bank based in New York and are held pursuant to control agreements with investors and portfolio investment companies in which these investors have invested. The control agreements restrict the Group’s access to these funds and requires the consent and instructions of the investors or portfolio companies to transact. As a result the Group does not have legal authority to solely control the funds nor an obligation to the investor and as such these funds are not reflected in the Group’s financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared for the year ended 30 June 2015 and were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 12 July 2015.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (“AAOIFI”), the Shari’ah Rules and Principles as determined by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board of the Company, the Bahrain Commercial Companies Law, Financial Institutions Law, the CBB Rulebooks, directives, regulations and associated resolutions and the terms of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with the requirements of AAOIFI, for matters for which no AAOIFI standard exists, the Company uses the relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
2.2 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and presented in United States Dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are:
a. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks on demand or with an original maturity of three months or less and balances held with deposit agents.
b. Receivables and other assets
Receivables and other assets are carried at their anticipated values. An estimate is made for impaired receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end.
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201552
c. Financial instruments
Recognition and de-recognition
Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities.
All financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where:
- the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired; or
- the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset. but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; or
- the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each date of statement of financial position. 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
d. Accrued expenses and other liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.
e. Amortized cost measurement
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as such when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, these investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective profit rate (EPR), less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EPR. The EPR amortisation is included in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss under ‘provisions’.
f. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a legally enforceable or religious right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 53
g. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Fee income
The fee income represents income the Company earns for asset management and administrative services rendered in accordance to the contractual terms agreed between the parties.
h. Shari’ah supervisory board
The Company’s business activities are subject to the supervision of a Shari’ah supervisory board consisting of at least three members appointed by the general assembly.
i. Earnings prohibited by Shari’ah
The Company is committed to avoid recognizing any income generated from non-Islamic sources. Accordingly all non-Islamic income is credited to a charity account where the Group uses these funds for various social welfare activities.
j. Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Any gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial recognition. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange gains and losses on non-monetary items classified as “fair value through statement of income” are taken to the statement on income and for items classified as “fair value through equity” such differences are taken to the statement of income.
k. Employees’ end of service benefits
Bahraini employees are covered by the Social Insurance Organization scheme which comprises a defined contribution scheme to which the Company contributes a monthly sum based on a fixed percentage of the salary. The contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.
The Company provides end of service benefits to its non-Bahraini employees Entitlement to these benefits is usually based upon the employees’ length of service and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits which comprise a defined benefit scheme are accrued over the period of employment based on the notional amount payable if all employees had left at the statement of financial position date.
1. Impairment of financial assets
An assessment is made at each financial position date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a specific financial asset or a Group of financial assets may be impaired. If such evidence exists, the estimated recoverable amount of that asset is determined and any impairment loss, based on the assessment by the Company of the estimated cash equivalent value, is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Specific provisions are created to reduce all impaired financial contracts to their realizable cash equivalent value. Financial assets are written off only in circumstances where effectively all possible means of recovery have been exhausted.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment value was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed.
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201554
m. Events after the statement of financial position date
The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the statement of financial position date and the date the financial statements are authorized for issue, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed as of the statement of financial position date. Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the statement of financial position date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment to the financial statements.
n. Zakah
Individual shareholders are responsible for payment of Zakah.
4 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS,ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
(i) Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
(ii) Going concern
The Company’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.

12 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The objective of capital management is to ensure the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern by maintaining an appropriate capital base in line with regulatory requirements.
13 RISK MANAGEMENT
13.1 Introduction
The Company is in the process of establishing a risk management department and a robust risk management framework. While such a framework is being established management has identified and is monitoring the risks identified below. Significant matters if any are brought to the attention of the Board of directors.
13.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk on its bank balance and receivables. This risk is considered minimal as the bank balances are maintained in current accounts with reputable international banks having good credit standings. The receivable balances primarily represent prepayments to vendors and other receivable.
13.3 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may arise from an inability to realize a financial asset quickly at an amount close to its fair value. The Company has enough cash and bank balances available as of 30 June 2015 in order to discharge its financial liabilities when they fall due. All of the assets and liabilities as presented in the statement of financial position of the Company are of current nature.
| ARCAPITA ANNUAL REPORT 201558
13.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as profit rate and foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s income. Market risk comprises three types of risk: profit rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the risk adjusted return on capital.
Profit rate risk
Profit rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market profit rates.
The Company does not have any such financial instrument which are profit linked and are likely to change due to changes in market profit rates.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
13.5 Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events.
