Net profit for the year was $1,393,- 459, up $234,903 from the previous year. This is equivalent to $1.98 a share on the bank's stock as com- pared with, $1,66 a share in the 1951- 52 fiscal year. Reserve fund has been increased $1.' million to $12 millions by a transfer from profit and loss account: The statement reveals a strong liquid position. Cash assets at $108 millions are equal to 22.7% of total li- abilities to" the public. Immediately available assets at $233 millions are 48.7% of all public liabilities. • Savings and other interest bearing deposits rose $7.4 millions to , $282.6 millions—a new high. However, total deposits declined $9.5 millions to $479 millions due to a drop in non-interest bearing deposits, Included in the total last year were a few large corpora- tion balances on ,deposit for a tempor- ary period only. Current loans show sharp expan- sion, rising by almost $52 millions during the year to $257 millions. Near- ly all of this increase occurred in loans to corporations and individuals in Canada. Call loans, on the other hand, are down $11 millions to $17 millions, most of the reduction being in call loans outside of Canada. With the expansion in loans, secur- ity holdings, largely Dominion and provincial bonds, declined from $16.4 millions to $107 millions. An increase• of $265,000 in invest- ment in bank premises to $8.1 millions resulted from the opening of new branches and the modernization of others. Your support and . .
