    • Accounting policies and methods of computation as stated in the audited financial statements for the year 2023/24 are followed in the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements.
    • Interest income recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Other operating income includes commision income, capital gains / losses arising from marked to market valuation of quoted shares held for trading purposes, dividends, fee income, collections from contracts written off and other sundry income.
    • The Company's Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, amounted to Rs. 15.6 billion, maintaining the same level of profitability as the corresponding period last year. The net lending portfolio recorded significant growth of Rs. 23.6 billion, increasing from Rs. 249.6 billion to Rs. 273.3 billion during the current financial year. Additionally, the deposit base expanded from Rs. 206 billion to Rs. 222.6 billion as of December 31, 2024. Both interest income and interest expenses declined during the period due to lower market interest rates. Effective management of non-performing loans (NPLs) and the reversal of excess provisions made against ISB investments, in line with the debt restructuring, contributed to a significant reduction in provisions compared to the previous year. However, other operating income declined year-over-year, primarily due to revaluation gains on investment properties not yet being recognized in the current financial year.

The Stated Capital of the Company is represented by 33,079,212,299 ordinary shares.
