A change for the better

At the very inception the overwhelming majority shareholding was held by Lewis Brown & Company Limited. In April 1994 Vanik Incorporation Limited (VANIK) acquired the controlling interest of the Company. The share capital which stood at Rs. 6.0 million in 1994 has since grown to Rs.135 million. In this same period the leasing portfolio has grown by 481% and the deposit base by 356% reflecting the tremendous positive changes that have taken place since the 1994 takeover.
