The financial figures and the income statement confirm PROTON Bank''s constant trend to achieve high growth rates. The strategy and profitable course are also boosted by the completion of the merger by absorption of OMEGA BANK. PROTON BANK keeps moving forward with a fast pace, in a course of dynamic but rational development, expanding its branch network, as well as its market share in all areas of activity.

It should be noted, that any 2007 figures are not directly comparable with the respective figures of 2006, due to the recent merger between PROTON BANK with OMEGA BANK and PROTON SECURITIES. In general, however, performance indicators are particularly satisfactory, since all non-consolidated and consolidated figures exhibit an upward trend.
