P. PORTIIALL LADRIE,E3q., Governor, in the Chair,
the following report was read by the Secretary :
The Directors have much satisfaction in reporting that
the net profits of the Bank for the six months ending the
30th rune last, atter payment of all charges (including the
sum of £149,520 Bs. Bd. for interest paid and due to custo-
mers on their current and deposit accounts), and making
ample provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amount to
£151,370 18s. 10d., which, with £992 7s. 4d. brought
forward from 31st Docertlber last, leaves for appropriation
the sum of £155,363 6a. 2d.
The Directors have declared a dividend for the last six
months at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and a bonus
of 21 per cent. on the paid-up capital, being at the rate of
20 per cent. per annum, clear of income tax ; and after
payment of the above, amounting to £78,000, there will
remain a balance of £77,363 68. 2d.
The Directors are now enabled to make a third addition
to the paid-up capital of the Bank out of profits, and they
have therefore appropriated £77,000 to the reserved fund,
thereby raised to £1»7,000: and out of such amount they
hive appropriated £120,000, being £2 per share, to the
Pa d-up capital, which will thus be further increased from
£780,000 to £900,000, and being, with present additions, an
innrease of £300,000, or 50 per ceßt., out of profits, to the
or!ginal paid-up capital of £600,000.
After deducting the dividend and bonua, and £120,000,
added to the paid-up capital amounting together to £198,009,
there will remain the sum of £67,000 to the credit of the
reserved fund, and an unappropriated balance of £363 6s 2d,
to be carried forward to a new profit and loss account.
The following Directors retire by rotation, under the
Provisions of the Deed of Settlement, viz.:—
Harry George Gordon, Esq.,
Samuel Beale, Esq , M.P., and
Fleetwood Pellew Wilson, Esq.,
who, being eligible, offer themselves, and are recommended
b y the Court of Directors for re-election.
