TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDING JUNE 30th 2012

The NBS BANK LIMITED unaudited results for the half year ending 30th June 2012 will be released in September 2012.

A forecast of the unaudited financial statements is that the profit after tax for the half year ending 30th June, 2012 will be lower than the corresponding period ended 30th June 2011 by over 15% largely because of the impact of the scarcity offorex and the devaluation.
