The strategic direction of the Bank during 2010 is to continue to manage
through the current economic cycle thus ensuring the Bank's security and
stability.
Therefore, our focus is high capital adequacy and liquidity, efficient risk
management, and cost efficiency, that would position the Bank well for the
period when the economic situation stabilizes and market begins to grow again.
Considering these goals, during the 1st quarter of 2010 the Bank continued to
apply a rigorous approach to risk assessment, implement effective cost control
measures and maintain high liquidity. Total reserves on March 31, 2010 comprise
21% of the total credit portfolio. The Bank completed the 1st quarter of 2010
with LVL 4.3 million of un-audited losses, which is approximately LVL 1.3
million less than in the same period of 2009. On March 31, 2010 the Bank's
capital adequacy ratio was 14.31%.
