Since these accounts were made up a dividend at the rate
of 8 per cent, per annum on the capital of the Bank, and
an extra dividend of 16s, per share were paid in February
last ; the amount of undivided profits after these payments,
therefore, stood at £1'29,171 16s. 10d., as compared with
£lO3 729 3s. 101 , the figures at which they stood last year,
after payment of the February dividend.
Shortly after the opening or the present year the directors
determined to increase the capital of the Bank from
£1,000,000 to £2,000,000 by the issue of 20,000 new shares
at a premium of £25 per share, when taken up by the old
shareholders in the proportion of one new for every one old
shate, and a premium of £3O per share when taken up by
other parties ; the difference of £.3 per share being relin-
quished by the Bank in favour of the holders of old shares
who declined to take up the new.
The entire of the new shares have been allotted among
the proprietors, customers, and connexions of the tank.
This operation adds £500,000 to the Reserve Fund of the
Bank, which previously stood at £ t 29,174 163. 10d., after
payment of the last February dividend.
A first instalment of £5 per share capital has been paid
on the 20,000 new shares, and when the new shares snail
to paid up to the same amount as the old, viz., £39 per
share, the paid-up capital will stand at £1,200,000, in acdi-
tiort to which the Reserve Fund will stand at upwards of
£600,000.
It is not a portion of the formal business of the Annual
Meeting to discuss the transactions of the current 3 ear, but
the Directors feet justified, from the precedent of their last
report, in stating that the prospects so far of the Bank's
profits for 1864 are still more in advance of the profits of
1833 than those of 1863 exceeded the realisation of 1862.
The Directors, encouraged by the success which has at-
tended the opening of their Bayswater Branch, have opened
two new metropolitan branches—one at Charing cross, and
another at Camden-town, which even at this early stage
gives satisfactory evidence of progress.
The Directors have had under their consideration a pro-
position for altering the day of the annual general meeting
to the first week day in February, from the fourth Tuesday
in May, as it stands at present. They have also considered
*he subject of furnishing half-yearly reports, as the other
London banks do, and both of these suggestions the three-
tors will recommend for the sanction of the Proprietors at
two sp<:cial general meetings, which will have to be sum-
:non:A for that purpose at convenient dates.
