Mohamed BEN ROMDHANE Mr. Tarek ZINE Private Secretary of Minister of Industry, Energy and Small and Medium Business Republic of Tunisia Mr. Mohamed Moez ZOUARI General Secretary of Ministry of Agriculture and Water Ressources Republic of Tunisia M. Mohamed Moez ZOUARI was designated as member of board of Directors as from 29th June 2009 in substitution to M. Mohamed Mouldi HAJ AISSA Address of Chairman of Board of Directors to Ordinary General Assembly In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Magnificent Gentlemen representatives of shareholders, I have the pleasure to present you, in my own name as well as in the name of my colleagues, members of Board of Directors, the fifth annual business report of STUSID BANK since its conversion into a Global Bank on 25th April 2005, together with the financial statements as of 31st December 2009. As you know, the world’s economic situation is experiencing, since fall 2008, a crisis the impacts of which have not yet disappeared despite the forewarnings of a return to growth, which are starting day after day to be felt. Even though such crisis has not directly impacted the Tunisian economy, its indirect effects, in particular the growth regression in partner countries, and subsequently from the decrease in demand originating therefore, have reached certain national economic sectors and, specifically, the exporting sectors. Despite such world economic situation marked by a relative contraction and its repercussions on the national business environment, and despite the desperate competition prevailing on the Tunisian financial place which has never ceased to increasingly arouse, the year 2009 has represented, as for STUDID BANK, a year of reference from the perspective of development of medium and long-term business in this direction that the approvals and the commitments has crossed for the first time since the establishment of the Bank the symbolic bar of 100 Millions of Dinars per annum. In fact, the net approvals relating to the medium and long term business have amounted at end 2009 to 122.2 Millions of Dinars and the commitments to 103.4 Millions of Dinars versus, respectively, 91.8 Millions of Dinars and 69.2 Millions of Dinars at end 2008, which means an increase by 33.1% for approvals and by 49.4 % for commitments. From their side, the disbursements have amounted to 83.8 Millions of Dinars at end 2009 versus 64.2 Millions of Dinars at end 2008, which means an increase by 30.5 %. Simultaneously to the highest improvement of its investment activity, STUSID BANK has multiplied, during the year 2009, its commercial operations so as to increasingly impose itself on the place as a global bank performing all banking operations, thereby bringing the outstanding bills of its short-term business to 127.5 Millions of Dinars versus 106.7 Millions of Dinars at end 2008, which means an increase by 19.5 %. Such business growth, in its two investment and commercial segments falls under a straight line of the growth pace targeted by the year 2011 and which would, on such date, allow the Bank to have, in terms of market share, 2 % of credit market and 1 % of deposit market. And as it was moreover expected, such net growth of Bank’s business has reflected on the balance sheet, the aggregate of which reached 386.2 Millions of Dinars at end 2009 versus 299.5 Millions of Dinars at end 2008, which means an increase by 86,8 Millions of Dinars or by 29 %. The net debts on customers have passed from 203,0 Millions of Dinars at end 2008 to 278,1 Millions of Dinars at end 2009, which means an increase by 75.1 Millions of Dinars or by 37 %. The lion’s share in such increase is imputable to the net growth recorded by the loans to privates. As regards the net shareholdings, the same have recorded an increase by 2.5 Millions of Dinars per annum, thereby passing from 43.4 Millions of Dinars at end 2008 to 45.9 Millions of Dinars at end 2009. The deposits of customers have doubled at end 2009, thereby passing from 75.7 Millions of Dinars at end 2008 to 151.6 Millions of Dinars at end 2009, which means an increase by 75.9 Millions of Dinars. The Bank has closed the financial year 2009 by a profit equal to 11.5 Millions of Dinars versus 10.8 Millions of Dinars at end financial year 2008, which means an increase by 700 Thousands of Dinars or by 6.5 %. Simultaneously to such improvement which has marked its various activities, the Bank has strengthened its financial status. It has allotted for provisions (account not liable to deductions from provisions) an amount of 7.4 Millions of Dinars at end 2009, thereby bringing to 90.5 % the average rate of struck- off assets by provisions and agios reserved, as well as the special rate system reserve which the Ordinary General Assembly has decided to re-deploy on provisions once it will become available, and this without taking into account of real securities and financial guarantees received. Annuel Raport 2009 9 From its side, the rate of struck-off assets has recorded an improvement imputable to the priority which the Bank has never ceased to give to recovery and quality improvement actions for its assets, as far as even such rate has dropped from 9.6 % at end 2008 to 9.3 % at end 2009. (PLATINUM )card for TOP VIP bracket as well as EPARGNE, SALARIO and FUTURE cards, together with CIBT and MASTERCARD for medium bracket) from which we are expecting a genuine backup for the Bank’s business in the near future. In the aggregate, STUSID BANK’s financial indicators meet all prudential and regulatory standards required by monetary authorities. The Bank has also undertaken setting in place a market hall which will allow it not only to develop its activities with other banks but also to better make them cost-effective. Gentlemen representatives of shareholders, Taking into consideration the prevailing economic environment in 2009, these results would have never been possible if there had not been the continuation of Bank’s efforts towards: 1 Modernization of its information system in order to make it comparable to the mostly performing systems existing on the place and thereby providing to the Bank all prerequisites of competitiveness so as to allow it to achieve the targeted objectives 2 Intensification of training and re-training courses on site for employees which, in 2009, reached 13 intra-corporation actions and 86 inter-corporation actions to the benefit of 123 employees. Those are, Gentlemen, the milestones relating to the activities of the Bank for the year 2009 and to the results to which they have led. STUSID BANK will seek, during the forthcoming years, for carrying on its efforts aiming at more increasing its activities through intensification of its presence beside the Tunisian enterprises in their development processes inside and outside the country and their searching for good investment opportunities, and this by offering them a full set of financing tool to repent their specific needs, while ensuring constantly on improving the services provided at the launch of other new products and to further promote the monetics. 5 new branches in Jerba, Kairouan, Gabès, Manouba and M’saken thereby bringing, at end 2009, the number of STUSID BANK branches to 12 branches . I would like to conclude by renewing my thanks to Saudi and Tunisian authorities for their support to the bank and for their continuous encouragement. I would also present my thanks for all the Directors for all their efforts for the achievement of Bank’s objectives, as well as to all the staff for the devotion they are showing in accomplishing their work. 4 Launching new products relating to sectors Thank you for your kind attention. 3 Extension of the network by the opening of of savings, credits and development of monetics through putting on the market specific payment cards to each category of customers The Chairman Of Board Of Directors Dr Abdulaâziz AL-NASRALLAH.

The first signs of easing of the international economic situation have started to appear progressively as from the second quarter 2009 with a neat difference on the level of growth trend from one country to another. For Euro zone, the economic activity has experienced a relative contraction during the last months 2009 as far as, and to the extent that the GDP has only increased by 0.1% during the third quarter of the year, versus a growth by 0.4 % at end third quarter of the year 2009. Such situation is explained by the persistence of the crisis impacts in numerous countries such as Greece and Spain, as well as by the poor performance standards recorded by other economies, and in particular Germany and Italy. Even though the economic analysts agree to say that such situation will have no harmful impact on return to growth in Europe for the year 2010, they do not think less that the situation remains marked with the fragility sign without counting that such return to growth is differently felt from one area to another. On that basis, economic analysts are predicting, for Euro zone in 2010, a modest growth not exceeding in best cases 1 % rate and drawn exclusively by movements on stocks and foreign demand. The relative recovery of the growth trend verified in 2009 has leaned, in general, on numerous short-term factors, the effects of which will cease in 2010, such as backup programs for automotive sector, tax reductions to favour purchase of new houses …etc which have been put in place by numerous countries to support the economic fabric and which have come to their end with end of 2009. From another side, such recovery has leaned on the inflection of the stocking cycle which occurred after a period of a massive de-stocking verified in numerous countries, in particular at the moment of the peak of the crisis. The stock reconstitution policies have actively participated in the growth of GDP in U.S.A, for instance, by 0.7 point of percentage during the third quarter 2009 and 3.4 points of percentage during the fourth quarter. Such effect will slowly disappear by reason of the expected stabilization of stocks in 2010 and then the return towards a suitability policy between production and demand. The year 2009 was marked by a drop never seen before of international trade exchanges. The exchanges of Goods, for example, have regressed by 13 % as compared to 2008. The steadying of trade exchanges has only recovered at the end of the year recording respectively a progress by 4 % and 6 % during the two last quarters of the year 2009. Such steadying is mainly due to the dynamism which marked the economics of emerging 14 markets, in particular Asian countries. For example, the exports of Asian emerging countries have increased by 10 % during the fourth quarter 2009. As regards unemployment, the year 2009 was marked by a deterioration of employment in most industrialized countries. The unemployment rate has then come close to 10 % line in certain countries despite the improvement of the economic situation, as mentioned above, in particular during the third quarter of the year. Specifically, the unemployment rate was about 10 % as of end December 2009 in U.S.A versus 7.4 % as of end December 2008, 10 % also in Euro zone versus 8.2 % in 2008, and 5.1 % in Japan versus 4.3 % one year back. As regards the markets of raw materials, the rates have recorded since 2007 many significant fluctuations with a fast increase as from the second quarter 2009. Such instability is due, at least in part, to the speculation operated on said materials worldwide. On illustrative basis, and at the end of the year 2009, the price of Crude Barrel was U.S.D 77.93 and of American light crude was USD 79.36, which is respectively an increase by 71% and 78 % as compared to the end of the year 2008. The prices of other basic materials have also clearly increased in 2009, thereby achieved such levels judged for certain products as records such as sugar (increase by 138 % as compared to 2008), as well as copper (increase by 153 % as compared to 2008). In early December 2009, the price of gold has reached a record price of USD 1 216 per ounce before returning to USD 1 097 per ounce at the end of the year, thereby recording an increase by 27 % as compared to end 2008. After a relatively long regression period, the consumer prices have rejoined a high trend in main industrialized countries as from November 2009. They have then stabilized at end 2009 around -0.4 % in U.S.A versus 3.8 % at end 2008 and 0.3 % in Euro zone versus 3.3 % at end 2008 and -1.4 % in Japan versus 1.4 % at end 2008. As regards the exchange markets, the Euro closed the year at 1.4326 against the Dollar after having exceeded the ceiling of 1.51 on 25th November of the same year, thereby recording an increase by 2.5 % as compared to end 2008. From its site the exchange rate for the YEN against the Dollar has dropped by 2.5 % between end 2009 and end 2008. Likewise, the indicators of main international stock markets have recorded substantial increases at end 2009 after having dropped to their lowest levels during March 2009. The increases have reached at end 2009, as compared to end 2008, about 19 % for Dow Jones and Nikkei, 22 % for CAC40 and 22 % for Nasdaq.

Sectors Annual Variation (%) 2008 2009 - 0.7 6.0 The main results for the year 2009 present as follows: Agriculture and fishing Manufacturing industries 4.5 -5.9 - Achievement of a positive growth rate by 3.1 % - Growth of global investment by 10.6 % - Maintaining the unemployment rate within the limit of 14.7 % despite the removal of 38 thousand jobs in the sector of manufacturing industries between the second quarter of the year 2008 and the second quarter of the year 2009. - Control of budget deficit which was limited to 3.6% of GDP - Maintaining the annual inflation rate within the limit of 3.5 %. - Maintaining the public debt within the limit of 48.2% - Increase of average annual revenue per capital which has been brought to 5142 Dinars versus 4848 Dinars in 2008. Mining -4.0 -2.4 Energy -2.6 2.6 Building and public works 4.1 2.7 Merchandising services 7.8 5.4 Non – Merchandising services 4.0 3.9 GDP 4.6 3.1 GROWTH As from the second quarter 2009, the growth trend has accelerated, thereby reaching 3.4% during the two last quarters 2009 versus respectively 1.8% and 2.8 % for the first and the second quarters. The growth level for the whole year has then pegged at 3.1 % versus 4.6% in 2008. The evolution of added value at constant prices and by business sector presents as follows: It would be suitable in this context to report the following: - The increase of production of agriculture and fishing sector during the year 2009 at the rate of 6.0% versus a drop by 0.7% during the year 2008. - The regression of production of manufacturing industries sector by 5.9 % versus a growth by 4.5% during the year 2008, and that following the drop of production in the sector of mechanical and electric industries at the rate of 8.9%, in the sectors of Textiles, Garments and Leather at the rate of 15.2%, the exports of which have, from their side recorded a remarkable drop by about 11.6% in 2009 as compared to 2008. - The improvement of growth trend in the sector of non-manufacturing industries which has pegged at 2.4% versus 0.3% in 2008 by reason, in particular, of the evolution of production of Hydrocarbon sector at the rate of 2.3% -The increase of activities connected with Merchandising Services at the rate of 5.4% versus 7.8% in 2008. Annuel Raport 2009 17 INVESTMENTS The year 2009 was characterized by the continuous growth of investments (global and public) which have recorded a growth by 10.6% and 21.7% respectively Evolution of main investment indicators (%) 2008 2009 Growth of total investments 14.8 10.6 Share of total investment in GDP 24.9 25.9 Evolution of public investment 10.2 21.7 Evolution of private investment 17.7 1.7 Share of private investment in total investment 62.5 57.6 7.2 4.3 Share of foreign investment in GDP The following table provides the sectoral distribution of investments achieved in 2009 : unit = MD 2009 Amount Agriculture and fishing 2008 % Amount % 977 7.0 923 7.4 Non- manufacturing industries 3 365 24.3 3 206 25.6 Manufacturing industries 1 355 9.8 1 401 11.2 Non- Administrative services 6 695 48.4 5 840 46.6 Collective Equipment 1 450 10.5 1 150 9.2 13 842 100.0 12 520 100.0 TOTAL Source : Budget Economique 2010 On the other hand, the volume of foreign investments amounted in 2009 to 2 383 Millions of Dinars versus 3 587 Millions of Dinars in 2008. Such decrease is mainly due to the drop (-28%) of investments in energy sector by reason of the decrease in prices of hydrocarbons worldwide. In contrast, foreign investments in manufacturing industries sector have increased by 2.5%, thereby reaching a value of 658 Millions of Dinars in 2009, versus 641 Millions Dinars in 2008, mainly drawn by the investments in sectors of electricity, textiles, mechanics, building materials and plastics. Foreign investments have also allowed in 2009 the creation of about 14 000 new jobs opportunities, of which 12 000 in the sector of Manufacturing Industries 18 FOREIGN TRADE End year 2009 has recorded a remarkable improvement of exports (+23.7%), which allowed to partially make-up the drop already recorded in the beginning of the year and to limit for the whole year 2009, the repression of exports to 17.6% versus a progress by 21.8% in 2008. Annual variation (%) 2008 2009 21.8 -17.6 Agriculture and Agro-Industries 14.2 -14.2 Energy and lubricants 30.0 -35.3 0.4 -8.9 18.3 -3.7 32.7 -17.2 Agriculture and Agro-Industries 26.6 -26.6 Energy and lubricants 63.7 -43.2 0.2 -7.4 14.3 -1.4 6 601.8 6 223.2 78.2 75.8 Exports, of which: Textiles, Garments and Leather Industries Mechanic and Electric Industries Imports, of which: Textiles, Garments and Leather Industries Mechanic and Electric Industries Trade Deficit (MD) Coverage Rate (%) The regression of exports has involved, in particular, the sectors of Mining and Phosphate under the impact of the strong drop of world prices, the sector of Mechanic and Electric Industries by reason of the worldwide recession and then the fall of foreign demand directed toward such sector, the textiles, garments, leather and shoe-making sector by reason of the drop of the revenues and of consumption in most partner countries of the European Union. In return, the imports have recorded a drop almost equivalent (17.2%), in particular the import of equipment, raw materials and semi-finished products. Such regression is mainly generated by the costs of imports following the decrease in prices on the international markets. Annuel Raport 2009 19 EMPLOYMENT Following the example of most countries, the world economic situation prevailing since fall 2008 had a negative impact on employment sector in Tunisia with, and as example, the removal of 38 thousand job opportunities in the sector of Manufacturing Industries during the year 2009. Tunisian authorities have then expedited setting in place various backup measures for the activity of businesses, thereby allowing safeguarding 82 thousand job opportunities. Such measures have, in particular, involved the restructuring of employment programs for better activating, streamlining and simplifying the same, strengthening the promotion of self-employment, giving impetus for the private initiative and supervision of unemployed people, in particular, the graduates of higher education, in being unemployed for a long period. The various sectoral policies, the punctual measures and the unemployment promotion programs being set in place have then allowed to control the unemployment rate by confining the same in 2009 to the limit of 14.7%, which means an increase not exceeding half-point as compared to 2008. PRICES The inflation rate has been limited to 3.5 % at end financial year 2009 versus 5% at end financial year 2008. Such slowdown is mainly due to the increase in prices of foodstuffs at a trend below the one observed during the previous year (3.4% versus 7%) and more particularly the prices of oils, fruits and vegetables, transport and housing. Apart from the Energy prices that increased by 2.9 % versus 13 % a year before and the prices of foodstuffs, the increase in consumer’s price index has pegged at 3.7% at end 2009 versus 3.3% at end 2008. MONETARY AND FINANCIAL BALANCE The evolution of financial system resources and their counterparts has been characterized in 2009 by a slowdown of the trend of aides to Tunisian Economy and of net debts abroad, being 10.5% and 19.3% versus respectively 14% and 24% in 2008 and a growth of net contributions to economy (13.4% versus 1.9%). Such variations have reflected on the monetary mass (M3) which has increased by 12.1% versus 14.4% one year back. The State’s net debts on financial system (6557 Millions of Dinars as of end December 2009) have recorded during the year 2009 an increase by 775 Millions of Dinars versus 108 Millions of Dinars during the year 2008 which is mainly generated by the growth of outstanding bills of Treasury Bonds and Allied at banks (an increase by 468 Millions of Dinars versus a decrease by 297 Millions of Dinars one year back). 20 MONETARY MARKET The demand of cash of deficit banks at a more accelerated trend than the supply of cash surplus banks has led to partial absorption of the overliquidity of the monetary market. Inter-bank transactions have consolidated, thereby passing from 437 Millions of Dinars in average to 685 Millions of Dinars in average. The day-to-day interest rate has fluctuated between 4.05% and 4.8%. The minimum interest rate or saving has been brought from 3.25% at early 2009 to 2.70% in February 2009 following the drop of Central Bank of Tunisia’s master rate, to peg as from April at 2.25%. EXCHANGE MARKET Taking into account the exchange rate in 2009 as compared to 2008, the Tunisian Dinar has recorded a drop by 17.2% in relation with the Japanese Yen, by 8.8% in relation with the US Dollar, by 4.9% in relation with the Moroccan Dirham and by 3.9% in relation with the Euro. Transactions on cash exchange market have dropped in 2009 by 21%, thereby returning to 39497 Millions of Dinars versus 49853 Millions of Dinars one year back. The volume of operations against the Dinar has represented an amount of 15 775 Millions of Dinars in 2009 versus 19 211 Millions of Dinars in 2008, thereby recording a decrease by 3 436 Millions of Dinars or 18%.

An audit involves the implementation of such procedures in order to collect probant elements concerning the amounts and the information provided in the financial statements. The choosing of procedures falls under our judgment and so does the assessment of the risk that the financial statements contain such significant abnormalities, whether resulting from frauds or from errors. By proceeding to such risk assessments, we take into account the current internal control within the Bank relating to the preparation and the faithful presentation of financial statements in order to define such appropriate audit procedures in the circumstance, and not with the aim of expressing an opinion on the efficiency of such internal control. An audit also includes the appraisal of the appropriate character of accounting methods maintained and the reasonable character of the accounting estimates made by the management and administration bodies, as well as the appraisal of the thorough presentation of financial Annuel Raport 2009 49 statements.

Our responsibility consists in expressing an opinion on such financial statements based on our audit performed in accordance with the professional standards applicable in Tunisia and taking into consideration the prudential standards as well as the terms of reference for audit of accounts, as defined by the circular of CENTRAL BANK OF TUNISIA No.3/1993 released on 30th July 1993. Such standards require from our part to comply with the rules of ethics and to plan and carry out the audit process in order to obtain a reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements of STUSID BANK, do not contain any significant abnormalities. An audit involves the implementation of such procedures in order to collect probant elements concerning the amounts and the information provided in the financial statements. The choosing of procedures falls under our judgment and so does the assessment of the risk that the financial statements contain such significant abnormalities, whether resulting from frauds or from errors. By proceeding to such risk assessments, we take into account the current internal control within the Bank relating to the preparation and the faithful presentation of financial statements in order to define such appropriate audit procedures in the circumstance, and not with the aim of expressing an opinion on the efficiency of such internal control. An audit also includes the appraisal of the appropriate character of accounting methods maintained and the reasonable character of the accounting estimates made by the management and administration bodies, as well as the appraisal of the thorough presentation of financial statements. We maintain the actions accomplished within this framework make a reasonable basis for grounding our opinion as follows: - The groups SASEJ and SICAB have been consolidated on the basis of their provisional financial statements as indicated in the Notice 5-1. - The equivalence matching has been used in place of total integration for the company FLOR’ALIA the sole financial statements of which have been made up on 30th June 2009. - Certain companies have not been integrated within the consolidation perimeter for various reasons, of which in particular the absence of financial statements or that the relevant company is under liquidation as indicated in the Notice 5-3. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements attached hereto are regular and faithfully reflect, in all significant aspects, the consolidated financial situation of STUSID BANK as of 31st December 2009, as well as the results of its operations and of its cash-flow for the financial year closed on such date, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Tunisia 2 Specific Verifications and Informations We have also proceeded, in accordance with the trade’s standards, to the specific verifications provided for by law. On the basis of such verifications, we have no comments to formulate on the faithfulness and the concordance with the consolidated financial statements of the accounting-related information provided in the Board of Director’s management report for the relevant financial year.
