The volume contains the Annual Report of the Government of Bahrain for the Hijri year 1350 AH. The report includes the budget for the upcoming year (1351 AH). It is written by the Adviser to the Bahrain Government, Sir Charles Dalrymple Belgrave. The report was submitted by Belgrave to the Political Agent at Bahrain, Charles Geoffrey Prior, who then forwarded it to the Political Residency in the Persian Gulf, at Bushire. The correspondence relating to this process is included in the volume. The report itself (folios 10-89), submitted in June 1932, is divided into sections corresponding to a particular subject, as follows: Budget; Notes on Budget; Receipts and Expenditure; Pearl Industry; Police and Public Security; Judicial Department; Report on Administration of Estates; Land Department; Public Works; Education; Manamah Municipality; Maharaq [Muharraq] Municipality; Agriculture; Bahrain Electric Supply; Sunni Wakf Department; Shia Wakf Department; Trade and Customs; General. At the beginning of the report (folio10) is an index listing the contents in the order that they appear, with reference to folio numbers. These folio numbers are large, stamped numbers appearing in the top right corner of the recto of each folio.

- Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 101; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 7-89; these numbers are also written in pencil and ink, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
