This section is from the book "Elementary Banking", by John Franklin Ebersole. Also available from Amazon: Elementary Banking.
This is really a statement of condition of the bank as of a given moment. It is an arrangement of all of those debit and credit balances which represent property owned, debits due the bank, or obligations of it - debits on one side and credits on the other. The two sides should agree in amount. The balances of all accounts which were not taken in the profit and loss statement will appear in the statement of resources and liabilities, but the undivided profits account will be increased by the excess of earnings over expenses.

It should again be observed that the balances shown in the foregoing statement are the same as those appearing opposite the same accounts in the trial balance heretofore set forth, but that all earnings and expense accounts have been omitted from the asset and liability statement, their net balance alone having increased the undivided profits account. This statement, therefore, shows the condition of the bank after the books have been closed.
