The jump in net profit was due to increased loans, higher profit from non-interest businesses and cost reductions, the bank said in its business report filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Total assets of the mid-sized lender had expanded 9.72 percent to 1.95 trillion yuan by the end of September.

Also, the bank's non-performing loan ratio was 0.81 percent, down 0.14 percentage points from the end of 2009.

Shares of the bank dropped 2.06 percent to 5.71 yuan Friday in Shanghai.
