From the annual report of the bank as at 31st December 2017 it can be identified that the amount of total assets is AED 668,968,295 thousands (Busch & Memmel, 2017). Total asset component is comprised of liabilities and equities. Liabilities amounted to AED 566,758,882 thousand whereas total equity amount for the same period was AED 102,209,419 thousands.

Therefore, it can be stated that the company is highly leverage and a bug portion of bank’s income will be spend for meeting liabilities. Further, high level of borrowing indicates that the bank is financially unstable (Kamar, 2017). It is even seen that by looking into the financial report of the bank for the past ten years, the performance has lowered and this has been found by assessing the financial statements. The financial instability of the bank increases their extent of liability and thereby reduces their image.
