REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.

We bave examined the above Balance Sheet with the books at the Head Office in London and with the Returns No Returns are available as to the from the Branches open at 31st December, 1947, certified by the Branch Managers. Assets and Liabilities at 31st December, 1947, of certain Branches which had not then been re-opened after enemy occupation, and the figures included in the Balance Sheet in respect of such Branches are those shown in the inst Returns received; currency figures in auch Returns have been converted into Sterling at the rates stalled on the Balance Sheet. Under existing circumstances, it has not been possible to reconcile all outstanding transactions between re-opened Branches previously occupied by the enemy and the Head Office and other Branches. Subject to those observations, in our opinion the Balance Sheet is properly drawn up so na to exhibit a true, and correct view of the state of the Bank's affairs according to the best of our information and the explanations given to us and as shown by the books at the Head Office and the Returns referred to,
