The Directors have the pleasure of presenting their
Report for the half-year ending December 31, 1865, to-
gether with a Statement of Accounts made up to that date.
The balance of undivided profits brought forward after
Payment of the dividend in July last was £53,141 155., and
the amount of net profit realised during the past half-year,
after payment of expenses, and after providing for all bad
and doubtful debts, and for rebate of interest on Loans
and Bills not yet matured, is £91,860 17s. 7d., making a
total of £145,002 12s. 7d. to be now disposed of.
Good evidence of the satisfactory progress of the Asso-
eyition is afforded by this statement, which fully bears out
the confident opinion expressed by the Directors at tho
last general meeting.
It is recommended that the above sum be appropriated
as follows, yiz that—
£so,ooo' -0 *NO be applied to the payment of a divi-
dend for the past six months of 10s.
per share, being at the rate of 20 per
cent. per annum :
833 6 8 to the payment of income tax : and
that from the balance the sum of
75,000 0 0 bo placed to the credit of a," Rest ;"
leaving a sum of
10,169 5 11 to be carried forward.

£145,002 12 7
The Directors have resolved to commence the formation
°f a " Rest" as essentially conducive to the best interests of
the Association.
It may be mentioned as an important feature that the
entire amount of the profits for the half-year results from a
continuous succession of transactions of a very regular
description, and of a nature to indicate that no apprehen-
sion need be entertained as to the permanent character of
the business in which the Association is engaged ; and the
Directors believe that with a continued exercise of care and
discrimination the Association will attain a position not
inferior to that of any other monetary institution in the
kingdom.
