& long term loans hasn't altered total of balance sheet, but

has added to attractiveness of balance sheet in my opinion

because increase in customers' deposit shows that customer s

have trusted bank to that and mortgage & long term loan

increased more attractive amount. Fach side of balance sheet

has been increased to equal amount. If cartain assets and

right before items antered in balance sheet. If thing wrong

In book doesn't make it right by putting it in balance sheet.

I agree that Ex.I amounts to lien on shares.
