* With the completion of the courtroom modernization project, a significant amount of amortization was recorded in 2008-09 as opposed to 2007-08, which accounts for the decrease of 16.9% in total assets.

Condensed Statement of Operations
At End of Year (March 31, 2009)
% Change 2009 2008
Expenses      
Total Expenses 5.4 41.1 39.0
Revenues      
Total Revenues (33.3) 0.2 0.3
Net Cost of Operations 5.7 40.9 38.7

An increase in salary and benefits as well as a significant amount of amortization due to the completion of the courtroom modernization project contribute largely to an overall increase in total expenses for 2009 of 5.4% over 2008.

Total revenues decreased by 33.3% from 2008 due to a decrease in other fees and charges (mainly due to photocopy revenue and filing fees) as well as a decrease in the Judges' contribution to pension costs. The decrease in pension revenue arises from a vacancy on the bench for approximately five months in 2008-09.
