Auditors Report:

Directors Message:

The year was fairly challenging for your Bank and the management had to achieve results against the backdrop of tough economic/market conditions and overhang of its non-performing loan portfolio. During the year, the Bank successfully tackled the issues emerging from the integration of Atlas Bank Ltd and MyBank Ltd. These problems were deep, diverse and comprised of issues like; i) creating synergies amongst the work force coming from different working cultures; ii) the rationalization of branch network and locations necessitated by the multiple-branches at close physical proximities; iii) cleaning the credit portfolio and recovery of Non-performing loans; iv) rationalization of operational costs. The integration process also brought out certain glaring systemic shortfalls that were addressed on priority basis like comprehensive revamping of compliance requirements for the prudential regulations

The bank, as a conscious policy decision, during the year focused on reducing the cost of its deposits and was able to effectively bring it down to 9.49% by the end of the year 2011 as compared to 9.7% in the preceding year 2010. The bank also successfully managed to close its deposit position at Rs. 89.649 billion as at December 31, 2011 as compared to Rs. 61.608 billion at the end of year 2010. The

apparent increase in deposits was primarily due to acquisition of Mybank Limited during the year. However, considering the merged entities collectively, total deposits declined slightly as these deposits stood at Rs. 91.087 billion on December 31, 2010. This marginal fall in deposits is reflective of the Bank’s focus on cost reductions and growth of low cost and CASA deposit base.

Despite multiple challenges and several policy initiatives the Bank also remained focused and continued its efforts for recoveries against non-performing loans (NPLs). The continuous efforts yielded results and a substantial amount of Rs. 2.206 billion of Provisions against NPLs was reversed that provided a net impact of Rs. 493 million charge to Profit & Loss during the year.

Following a cautious strategy, the Bank closed its net loan portfolio book at Rs. 57.330 billion for the year 2011 as compared to Rs. 58.418 billion as at December 31, 2010 of merged entity. However, investments increased to Rs. 36.305 billion by the end of the year 2011, which demonstrates the Bank’s prudent strategy of maintaining high liquidity and investing in SLR eligible securities.

The bank incurred an after tax loss of Rs. 1.537 billion, during the year under review, primarily due to the provisions against non-performing loans and suspension of related markup.

Acknowledgment

The Board is also grateful to the valued customers and shareholders of the Bank for their continued trust and support and assures them of continued commitment to improving the quality of services and the experience they share with the Bank.
