REPORT OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER

3rd QUARTER 2005

After posting good gains during the first weeks of September, the GCC markets corrected somewhat as oil prices retreated from their record levels. Al-Tawfeek is well positioned to take advantage of seasonal factors that are expected to push prices higher over the next 4 month period. However, we do believe that the markets will see some volatility and perhaps a slowdown in trading activity as we hit the holy month of Ramadan in October. Our strategy is to hold through as it would be difficult to trade this volatility that is expected to be short lived. This is mainly due to the end of the holy month coinciding with the majority of companies' third quarter announcement which will result in increasing volumes and investors interest in the markets.

Expectations for the 3rd Quarter:
