On behalf of our Board of Directors, I am
very pleased to share with you our year’s
performance, as we continue our historic
record of never posting a loss.
For the financial year October 1, 2014
to September 30, 2015, the Company
increased its pre-tax profits by 226%;
a direct response to the foundation we
created to manage the slew of changes
in our environment. As a boutique
operation, we focus on forging stronger
relationships with our cl ients, who
continue to respond to our culture of
service and wide range of products.
Our resolve to enhance shareholder value remained at the fore and led
to a Profit after tax of $242 million, which translated into earnings per
share of $0.55 cents. Total Revenues also increased from $1,335 billion
prior year to $1,531 billion during this reporting period.
Of note, is the increased performance of Barita Unit Trusts, aided by
the mandated shift from the repo business model to that of Collective
Investment Schemes. We listened to our clients and created solutions
for them that bolstered Barita Unit Trusts’ funds under management
by an astounding 56% from prior year.
Chairman’s Message

Chairman’s Message cont’d
During this financial year, we successfully completed a number of
projects to continue on our growth trajectory. To meet the demands of
regulatory changes , we added two additional portfolios to Barita Unit
Trusts Multiple Portfolio Fund -The Barita FX Growth Portfolio (US$) and
the Barita Real Estate Portfolio (JA$). We also completed the development
of the fixed income module of our in-house software platform BIIMS; a
significant investment in improving our output.
The transformation needed to meet the needs of the retail repo framework
was significant and while other players decided to exit this market, we
worked tirelessly to ensure that this product remained an option for our
clients who want to operate on this platform.
Our investment in technology continued to be substantial and to
enhance our client interface, we introduced the revamped Barita Roadmap
(a financial planning tool) and Barita Stock Alerts - (which allows clients
real-time access to equity information). Barita Stock Alerts is the first
of its kind in Jamaica, and we will continue to search for and bring
innovative products and tools to the market.
Operating expenses increased by 3% during this financial period, as we
strived to minimize the impact of the costs of expanding our business.
Our investment in our IT systems continue to pay off, allowing us to bring
further automation to our processes and be more efficient.
Our solid performance this year would not have been achieved without
the leadership of our Board and Management team and the tireless
efforts of our other team members. Our hard work was recognised
by the Jamaica Stock Exchange, who presented us with a trophy for
Investor Relations and Best Website in 2014. It was truly an honour to
be recognised as a leader amongst our peers.
I continue to extend my deepest gratitude to our customers who
continue to show confidence in our brand. We remain committed to
serving you, as we look forward to another robust financial year.

MaRket ReView
In stark contrast to the corresponding twelve-month period of 2014,
the 2015 financial year saw a boost in investor confidence, as was
demonstrated by stronger demand for Jamaican dollar liquidity, and
a vibrant stock market in the latter half of the year. As the Jamaican
economy continued its transformation under the International Monetary
Fund’s External Funds Facility programme, real Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) growth, which started the period predominantly flat, closed the
year between 1 percent and 2 percent for the final quarter after two
consecutive quarters of growth. Additionally, the country’s ranking in
the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report jumped 27 places to
58th among 189 measured territories, and first in the Caribbean.
Point to point inflation moved down 500 basis points from 9 per cent
to 4 per cent over the financial year ending September 30, 2015 as fuel
and fuel related costs trended down.
fixed incoMe MaRket
In February and March of 2015, the central bank introduced what they
called Open Market Repurchase Operations (ORTOs) which provided
90-day liquidity to deposit taking institutions at a rate of 9.15 per cent.
These ORTOs were conducted in response to an increase in Jamaican
Dollar liquidity from large maturities of BOJ repurchase agreements, as
well as Government of Jamaica operations.
The financial year ending September 30, 2015 saw short term market
interest rates declining in the December, June and September quarters,
and rising in the March quarter. The increase in March was consistent
with the stronger demand for Jamaican Dollar liquidity. The Bank of
Jamaica reduced its signal rate - the 30-day Certificate of Deposit, in
the June and September quarters from 5.75 - 5.5 per cent, and 5.5 -
5.25 per cent, respectively. The declines reflected the central bank’s
outlook for lower inflation.

Treasury Bills started the 2014-15 financial year with yields trending
downwards in the first quarter, moving from 6.83 - 6.38 per cent, 7.34
- 6.96 per cent, and 7.73 -7.14 percent for 30-day, 60-day and 90-day
instruments, respectively. The declines reflected overall improvements
in local liquidity, and lowered inflation expectations; and were primarily
influenced by strong demand for the instruments. As the year
progressed, Treasury Bill rates continued a predominantly downward
path to close the September quarter at 6.23 per cent for 30-day, 6.20
per cent for 90-day, and 6.35 per cent for 180-day bills.

The beginning of the financial year saw local currency depreciating
1.76 percent against the US dollar from October to December of 2014,
marking a slowdown in calendar year depreciation to 7.8 percent from
the 14 per cent reported the year before. By the end of the second
quarter , devaluation slowed considerably to a rate of 0.3 per cent for
those three months and 5.0 per cent for the year, as the Bank Of
Jamaica (B.O.J.) intervened in the foreign exchange market in January
by providing liquidity of US$ 141.1 million. Also, the March quarter in
particular saw a number of locally registered companies selling their
foreign currency to meet the annual March 31 tax deadline. The
effects of this carried over into the April to June quarter, resulting in the
Jamaican dollar losing 1.69 per cent to its US counterpart, and 4.26
per cent over 12 months.
The performance of the local currency in the December, March, and
June quarters reflected the trend of slow-down in depreciation observed
by the central bank since September 2013, however, that trend was
reversed in the final quarter. By year end, the weighted average selling
rate of the Jamaican Dollar vis-a-vis the US dollar closed the fourth
quarter at $119.06 to US$1.00, reflecting a rate of depreciation of 1.77
per cent for those final three months, and an annual pace of 5.67 per
cent. The period under review saw increases in net demand for foreign
currency to satisfy Balance of Payments current account transactions
which were estimated to have increased for the year.

Management Discussion & Analysis cont’d
The financial year ended with most Jamaica Stock Exchange indices
higher relative to the corresponding period last financial year, and the
twelve months ending June. The main and junior indices advanced 33.3
per cent and 49.9 per cent for the year, respectively, following a negative
return over the last five calendar years. The stronger performance
demonstrated by the local indices reflected the improved confidence
among investors on the back of significantly lower world oil prices and
lower inflation, improved liquidity conditions, and the lowering of the
BOJ’s signal rate which in turn led to lower private interest rates. The
transition of the retail repo business also had a positive impact on the
stock market as equities became the more attractive option to private
repurchase agreements.
For the quarter ending December 31, 2014, growth in the main index
stood at 5.7 per cent while the junior market index grew 5.23 per cent.
By the end of the second quarter, the main index feared significantly
better as it closed the period at 9.76 percent. Market performance was
strongest in the third quarter, as the main and junior indices grew 16.1
per cent and 29.5 per cent, respectively. In the final quarter however,
growth in the main index temporarily came to a halt as it recorded
declines in August and September of 2015, closing the quarter with a
loss of less than one percent.
financial PeRfoRMance
Demonstrating resilience and strong recovery in the midst of regulatory
and other changes to the financial industry, Barita delivered sterling
financial results for the financial year ending September 30, 2015. We
posted profit before tax amounting to $372.7 million - an increase of
$253.2 million or 240% over the prior financial year. After-tax profits
for the 2015 financial year increased over 255% to close the period at
$242.1 million, translating to earnings of $0.55 per share, and resulting
in our return on equity increasing three-fold to 13.1%.

Net operating revenues, which includes net interest income, fee &
commission income, dividend income, cambio gains and trading gains
rose year-over-year by 44.8% to $905 million, compared with the prior
year’s gain of 21.9%.
Trading gains, which comprises fixed income and equities trading, was
largely responsible for the group’s bolstered performance, recording an
improvement of almost 256% to $346 million. This increase resulted
in a 38% contribution to net operating revenues, coming from its 16%
contribution for the 2014 financial year. Net interest income which
declined 13% for the financial year totaled $265 million, and was the
second largest contributor to the company’s improved performance
at 29% of net operating revenues, coming from 49% in the previous
financial year. The change in net interest income chiefly reflects the
changes effected on the retail repo framework in the middle of 2015,
and the lower interest rate environment.
Concerning dividend income, our company realised a 13.8% increase to
$13.8 million, while foreign exchange trading & translation gains closed
the year 5% lower at $100.3 million. Fees and commission income also
increased 66.7% year-on-year to $170.9 million.
As we embrace the shifts in the market to collective investment schemes,
we will continue to focus our efforts on growing our non-interest
income revenues.

Management Discussion & Analysis cont’d
The Group is focused on increasing efficiencies and cost containment.
Our total operating expenses grew 3% to $521 million, compared with
the 13% increase recorded for the previous year. This increase was
largely due to increases in staff and administrative expenses of 13.8%
and 11% respectively. Administrative expenses include, among other
things our marketing expenses, asset tax, utilities and security costs.
Please note however that due to our green energy initiatives, utilities
fell 29.5% to $8 million. The Group incurred no impairment costs on
available-for-sale investments for the period. As it relates to operating
efficiency, we did remarkably well as we achieved a 23 percentage
point reduction in our operating expense/operating revenue ratio to
58% coming from 81%, while operating expenses as a percentage of
total revenues fell nearly 4 percentage points to 34%.

assets and liabilities
Barita realised a 2.4% reduction in total assets to $13.23 billion for the
financial year ending September 30, 2015 as significant increases in
cash and bank balances, resale agreements, and amounts due from
other parties were offset by a 13% or $1.4 billion reduction in marketable
securities and pledged assets. The Group’s liabilities declined by 4% or
$483.6 million to $11.38 billion as repurchase agreements and deferred
tax liabilities fell 6.3% and 35.9%, respectively.
shaReholdeRs’ equity
Total shareholder’s equity increased 9.6% to $1.85 billion. The increase
was due primarily to a 35% gain in retained earnings to $809 million.
During the year, the company paid out over $31 million in ordinary
dividends to our stockholders.
caPital adequacy Ratios
The capital base of Barita Investments Limited remains strong. Barita
continues to comply with and surpass the minimum of all the
regulatory requirements of the primary regulator, the Financial Services
Commission and also the Jamaica Stock Exchange.
The Group was able to increase its capital to risk-weighted asset ratio

Barita Unit Trusts
Barita Unit Trusts is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barita Investments
Limited. Barita Unit Trusts is comprised of The Management Company,
a Capital Growth Fund, a Money Market Fund, and The Barita Multiple
Portfolio Fund which houses The Barita FX Bond , FX Growth, Income
and Real Estate Portfolios.
The Management Company
For the financial period under review, the Management Company
recorded total revenues of $176 million, as against $88 million prior year.
This increase is attributable to a 100% increase in Management Fees
earned through the continuous outstanding performance of the Barita
Money Market, Capital Growth, and FX Bond Fund, and an increase in
realised gains on investment of $6.6 million compared to $139 thousand
prior year. In addition, two new funds, namely the FX Growth and the
Real Estate Portfolio became operational in April 2015. Consequently,
funds under management increased from $5 billion for the prior year to
$8 billion as at September 30, 2015.
Expenses (which include operating and interest costs), were $47 million
for 2015, compared to $48 million for prior year 2014. Profit before
tax for the year was $128 million, compared to prior results of $40
million. Profit after taxation was $87 million compared to prior results of
$25 million.
Assets increased by 119% or $177 million to $382 million. This increase
in assets is attributable to substantial increases in stock holdings and
Bond Securities. There was also an increase in our liabilities largely due
to an increase in taxation payable of $33 million compared to prior of
$8 million. Shareholder’s equity increased by 54% or $103 million to
$293 million.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Barita considers Corporate Social Responsibility vital because of its
direct impact on the future of our country. This year, we continued to
make extensive contributions to various entities such as The Mission-
aries of the Poor, Saint Vincent de Paul, Mustard Seed Communities
and Teen Challenge Jamaica.
Our strongest commitment however remained towards early childhood
development, as we believe that this area has the potential to deliver
the highest returns for our nation.
baRita education foundation
The Barita Education Foundation aims to improve the overall literacy
and numeracy skills of at- risk children between the ages of 3-6. The
Foundation hires teachers who work with assigned partner schools to
conduct numeracy and literacy programmes. To ensure it’s sustainability,
we also have as a part of our team social workers who implement a
parenting programme that makes parents aware of the important role
they play in their child’s education.
To enhance our work in the communities, we implemented two new
initiatives this year; A Recycling Project with the children and a Library
Project with the parents to improve the resource capabilities available
to the children.

Barita recently completed its fifth year of sponsoring the Harbour View
Football Club’s (H.V.F.C.) First-Kick Programme. The sponsorship
valued at $350,000 for the 2014-2015 academic year, provided training
for the coaches, gears for the children and accounts for the top 31
students. Barita considers this programme an integral extension of its
work in the early childhood arena as it not only recognises the physical
prowess of the children but also develops life skills by rewarding members
of the club (ages 5-11), who are disciplined, punctual and are strong
academic performers. Barita presents the achievers with investments in
the Barita Money Market Fund, developing in them the habit of saving
and investing for their future goals.
Dianne Clunie-Wallace, Marketing
& Client Services Manager and
Danielle Lyn, Marketing Officer share a
