Total deposits and cash margins increases by 15.12%; representing 96.92% from total liabilities

Total liabilities increased from $2.14 billion in 2014 to $2.48

billion in 2015. This followed an increase in total deposits by

15.12%; representing 96.92% from total liabilities.

BOP’s total deposits- PMA’s, banks and financial institutions’,

customers’ and cash margins- increased from $2.09 billion in

2014 to $2.40 billion in 2015. Customers’ deposits excluding

cash margins increased by 12.84% to settle at $2.15 billion and

constitute 89.62% from total deposits and cash margins.

However, cash margins declined by 42.12% to settle at $89.16

million at the end of 2015 due to a decrease in the cash margins

on direct credit facilities.

PMA’s deposits increased by 144.91% to aggregate at $58.99 million at the end of 2015, while, banks’ and financial

institutions’ deposits significantly grew to $101.27 million in 2015 from $0.75 million in 2014.

Sundry provisions, which consist of employees’ end of service provisions and lawsuits provisions, grew by 18.60% to settle

at $21.73 million at the end of 2015. Moreover, tax provisions increased by 184.90% to amount for $2.93 million in 2015.

Other liabilities, which mainly consist of accounts payables, certified checks and taxes payables, settled at $51.75 million in

2015; up by 36.34% than the year 2014.

Paid-up capital grows to $175 million in 2015

Total shareholders’ equity increased from $280.11 million in 2014 to $305.76 million in 2015. Non-controlling interests grew

by 11.07% to settle at $0.76 million in 2015, to record book value ratio of $1.74 in 2015 compared to $1.75 in 2014.

This mainly was attributable to an increase of 9.38% in paid-up capital, from $160.00 million in 2014 to $175.00 million in

2015 through distributing stock dividends for the year 2014. BOP also approved distributing 12% cash dividends for the year

2014.
