Assets, deposits, loans, reve- nue, expenses, income taxes and earnings all recorded increases. Over the year total assets rose by $196 millions to $5,428 millions and all of this increase is reflected in the bank's loan portfolio which rose by an even larger amount. Total deposits show an increase of $208 millions. Of this increase, $194 millions was in Canadian currency deposits and a major factor in this was a rise of $149 millions in per- sonal savings deposits in Canada. The high interest rates which prevailed throughout the year are reflected on both sides of the revenue and expense state- ment. Interest income at $400 millions was $78 millions higher, but this increase was largely offset by a rise of $67 millions in interest paid on deposits and bank debentures. Salaries, pension contribu- tions and other staff benefits also recorded a marked increase, rising by $10 millions to $76 millions. Balance of revenue, after de- ducting total operating expenses, but before appropriation for losses and income taxes, was up '$2 millions to $55.6 millions. Appropriation for losses to- talled. $18 millions as against $19.3 millions in the previous year. Total provision for income taxes was $1 million higher, amounting to $28.2 millions.
