Despite the adverse business environment, Laxmi Bank has been able to achieve a growth of 70% in our operating profi ts. This has been possible due to the trust and patronage of our customers and stakeholders. I am confi dent that Laxmi Bank will continue to receive similar trust and support in the years ahead. The Bank today operates through 25 branches and 21 ATMs. We provide a wide range of services including Visa branded cards, internet banking, mobile banking and new and innovative deposit schemes to our customers. We are in the process of establishing our merchant banking subsidiary – Laxmi Capital Market Limited – which will commence operation from the fi nancial year 2010/11. Similarly we are working on establishing a second subsidiary to drive our microfi nance business which is also expected to come into operation in the running fi nancial year. We will continue to expand and increase the number of remittance service agents in order to support the growth we have envisaged on the remittance business – both international and domestic. We have proposed a cash dividend of 13% to our shareholders. I am confi dent that the Bank will be able to continue delivering sound performance in the years ahead and further enhance shareholder’s values and returns due to our risk management capabilities, trained and experienced human resources and the patronage of our growing number of customers. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Nepal Rastra Bank and other regulatory bodies for their guidance and encouragement. Similarly I thank our shareholders for the trust and belief you have placed on Laxmi Bank and our customers for your patronage and support. I appreciate and thank the staff and management of the Bank for their hard work and unwavering commitment towards achieving our goals. Thank you.
