The bank appears to have shed off some "baggage" in the balance sheet i.e. Balances due to Banking institutions within the group stood at Kshs 24.3 B in Q1 2012 which have been whittled down to 1.7 B in 2013.
Similarly, Deposits and Balances due to banking institutions abroad, have come down from 30.8 B to 7 B.
The core business of the bank is actually stable with loans and advances going up slightly while deposits have come down a notch.

Assets down by 4.5bn [3.5%]
I find that odd when most other (large) banks were increasing their footprint.
