This compares well with 165 Baizas being the book value per share in December 2024. And we are in line with growing this company consistently. In terms of our asset position, we are stable; a little bit of volatility, but that comes from the market investment position, but largely, we are in a positive trend as far as the holdings of our equity free positions and our other assets are concerned. So we are on a stable run rate as far as both the group and the subsidiary is concerned. From an income standpoint, we've -- our earnings per share is around 7 Baizas. This compares to 4 Baizas of the equal period last year. And at this point in time, both our revenue and our expenses are in control as far as progress for the year closing is concerned. And there has been improvement both in the investment book that we are holding as well as the dividend income, which is a significant component of our income as far as this company is concerned. This is, as you already know, it's an investment holding company. We hold real estate bank. We have a fixed income portfolio. We have an equity portfolio. We have what we have bought in FVOCI and FVTPL. I'll stop here, and if there's any questions, feel free to reach out or ask me any questions or any specific area that you want me to address as far as the financial position, financial disclosures are concerned or for that matter, any specific area that you want me to expand on.

I don't see any questions coming up both on the chat or on the voice. I have not much to add to what I have mentioned to you in terms of our financial position, and we will continue to keep this momentum of growth going. We follow a very conservative and a very clear path in terms of our growth and that we wish to pursue. We will continue to do that this year and going forward in 2026 also.

And we have a pretty controlled receivables and payment payables. So there's not much not much of a liability that we're talking about. We do have some dry powder in terms of term deposits and cash balances, which -- for which we are actively pursuing opportunities. And we will deploy them when we see something which is meeting our expectation, both in terms of growth, in terms of yield and in terms of the opportunity to have significant asset growth in our books.
