GENTLEMEN,
The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June, 1892.
The net profits for that period, including $30,996.58 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due amount to $763,590.23,
It is with much regret that the Directors have to recommend the withdrawal of $3,000,000 from the Reserve Fund to credit of Profit and Loss Account. This sum added to $124,236.88 taken from the profits of the working account is required to make up a total of $3,124,236.88 to be placed to Contingent Account in order to provide fully for bad and doubtful accounts. The Reserve Fund will then stand at $3,300,000.
After making these transfers and deducting Remuneration to Directors there remains for appropriation $629,353.35 out of which the Directors recommend a Dividend of One Pound per Share which will absorb $355,555.55.
The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 2/103, the rate of the day amounts to $202,989.90.
The Balance of $70,807.90 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.
DIRECTORS.
Mr. ST. C. MICHAELSEN, Mr. L. POES- NECKER, and the Honourable J. J. KESWICK having resigned on leaving the Colony, the Directors have invited Mr. J. J. BELL-IRVING, Mr. CARL JANTZEN and Mr. JULIUS KRAMER to join the Board which appointments require confirmation at this meeting. Mr. T. E. DAVIES has been appointed Chairman, and Mr. H. HOPPIUS.
