RESOURCES LOANS AND DISCOUNTS $194,547.70 This consists of notes given by our customers, mostly farmers—a very large percent of which is secured by chattel mortgage or other collateral. OVERDRAFTS 109.88 This represents money due us from depositors who have checked out more than they have on deposit. This item, while small, reflects no credit on us as it is illegal for bank officials to permit ANVONE to overdraw their uccount, but such items inadvertently creep in occa sionally. UNITED STATES BONDS 112,250.00 These are gold obligations of the U. S. Valued by National Bank Exam iner on June 12, 1930 (last exam ination) at $2,660.69 more than we are carrying them on our book. OTHER BONDS and SECURITIES 84,877.15 This consists of municipal and in dustrial bonds; county, township and school warrants. Valued by Na tional Bank Examiner on June 12, 1930, at $979.93 less than we are carrying them on our books. BANKING HOUSE and FIXTURES 6,068.00 Consisting of bank building, vaults, safes and fixtures of all kinds worth about double the above amount. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED 6,000.00 This consists of a clear 320 acre im proved farm in Hpit county and a dwelling house in Neligh, Nebr. CASH AND SIGHT EXCHANGE 269,775.86 This consists of cash in vault, and due from other banks; note that this is over 65% of our total deposits. - TOTAL .. $672,628.59 LIABILITIES CAPITAL STOCK $ 50,000.00 This represents the cash paid in on the original investment by the stock holders. SURPLUS AND UNDIVIDED PROFITS 82,858.82 This is a part of the earnings of the bank that have been set aside from time to time to cover possible losses and for the further protec tion of our depositors. This fund is 4.'t per cent of all our loans and dis- i+fi counts and 166 per cent of our : S capital. • j CIRCULATION 50,000.00 J| This represents the "currency” or j B “national bank notes” we have in Jr circulation for which we have de- gjj posited with the Treasurer of the 5 United States $50,000.00 U. S. Gold f J bonds to guarantee the redemption tj of these notes. £3 DEPOSITS 480,769.77 Represents money deposited in this J J bank by firms or individuals, a part v+g of which is subject to check on de- 5 mand and a part on time certificates B of deposit running six or twelve ;2 months, on which we pay 4 per cent 3 interest. REDISCOUNTS OR BILLS §8 PAYABLE NONE gf TOTAL_ $672,628.59 || >■ Since we adopted the system of analyzing the various items that make up the bank statement c3 E: to make it more comprehensive to the general public we have had many favorable comments, not f £ J; only from our patrons but also from the public press, judges of courts, lawyers and others that ££ If have extensive dealings with banks. tS E: Good banking practice requires that doubtful paper be charged off as soon as it may develope J £ from time to time. Our large undivided profit account makes this possible and it is the practice of jS 4 this bank. Our last examination on June 12, 1930, Mr. C. W. Lyon, National Bank Examiner, re- jp r; ported no “doubtful” paper and but four “slow” notes, aggregating $$2,733.00 out of a total of r| r; 463 notes. (The reported four “slow” notes, all are secured by real estate mortgages save one.) Our cash on hand is $244,907.00 more than the law requires, which, coupled with our U. S. 4 t: bonds and other bonds (which can be converted into cash on the market any day) make what may 4| be properly termed as total Cash Reserve of $416,902.00, or more than 85 per cent of our total de- ^ P; With this condition of liquidity we could of course, if necessary, pay off every depositor with- |‘| Y '■ in a week’s time without calling a single local loan. We are always in the market for desirable well secured loans. 11 OFFICERS S. J. WEEKES .. President C. P. HANCOCK _ Cashier S ti DR. J. P. GILLIG AN Vice-President ED. F. QUINN ...
