Gentlemen, The Directors have now to sub- mit to you a general Statement of the affairs of the Corporation, and Balance Sheet for the half- year ending 31st December last.
The net profits for that period, including $7,042.19 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges and deducting interest
after taking out Rebate on Bills not yet due, and Remuneration to Directors, there remains a ba- lance of $109,059.44.
The Directors again regret that they cannot recommend the payment of any Dividend to the Shareholders. The general working of the Bank during the half-year has been unsatisfactory, and, notwithstanding the profit derived from the Chinese Imperial Government Loan, the profits are comparatively small.
The losses and amounts written off require $106,000 of the Profits, together with the $275,000 of the Reserve Fund mentioned in last Report, and a further sum of $400,000 from the same account, The Reserve Fund will thus stand at $100,000, and there will be a balance of Profit of $3,059.44 to be carried to the credit of New Account.
The poor result of the half-year's working is attributable to the bad state of trade in the East; business generally has yielded but little profit and that in Exchange has proved no exception. The demand for advances has been small and the inte- rest obtainable on them consequently low, while the interest paid by the Bank on deposits has been heavy. These deposits are now larger than they ever were, notwithstanding that, more than six months ago, the Directors resolved to receive none at a higher rate of interest than 5 per cent per annum.
The amount now set aside is required as follows:-
For London Accounts,
,, Sterling Bills,.
**
$160,000 80,000
"}
Head Office Accounts,. 180,000
,, Sundry Accounts,................ 86,000
$506,000
The $275,000, referred to in the last Report, has been required, as auticipated by the Chairman at last Meeting, chiefly by the Indo-Chinese Sugar Company's account and transactions connected therewith. The Company's estate now stands in the Bank's books at half the value the Bank's Special Agent has placed upon it. the Directors purpose to realize the property with all despatch, and steps have been already taken to that end.
