[1]   Amount of Total Annual Deposits

[2]   Amount of Total Annual Withdrawals

[3]   Ratio of Withdrawls to Deposits (%)

[4]   Amount of Annual Interest Charge
 
[5]   Total of Credit Balances, on all Deposit Products, at Financial Year-End
 
[6]   In theory, Deposits less Withdrawals plus Interest Charge should equal Increase/(Decrease) in Balance, but there are small
               discrepancies, presumably due to errors in the reporting of the Deposit and Withdrawal statistics
 
[7]   Periods less than 12 months: 1920 = September 1st 1919 to March 31st 1920; Nov 1976 = April 1st to November 20th 1976
