when in such period, our figures are]
lightly below the level of the provicus year. You will see that by the allocation
of the disposable balance flows in the profit and loss account. proposed by the directors for you, so pass to-day, we intend to finally deal with the item under the honding of Purchase of Trading Rights." This, I inny say, wis the consideration for obtaining the charter under which the com pway has been trading, aid that it is now all written off may, I think, I con- sidered as satisfactory. The amount of the debeature bond you will see is decreand by £500 since the last linnce shout. Since the figures were made up, as at Dec. 31
, a further sum of £500 has been paid off, which will be uxhibited in the accounts for the current year. The sum now out standing in -£500. The debenture, was originally for £5,000, and, as some share. holders will know, was practically capital; that it has been almost repaid may, the directors also hope, be ecneidered satin- factory. Turning now to the general conditions, the year 1009 was it #red" letter year in the Far East.

Speculation and overtrading at an antecedent' date had left their mark, and a residue that hud to be liquidated: That quidation, I am glad to belieye, has been praalicaÏly accomplished to a great extent, and the directors trust that they may look forward to an era of improved conditions, in which they hope the company may, socire its shars. Reverting again to the accounts, we propose to aniscain like rate of dividend to that distributed a year ago. The reserve fund remnina zt £1,500, which, I may remark, is nely 30 per cent. of the capital of the company. The stocks of goods have somewhat increased, but have been carefully valued. "Tho general financial position of the company, an ex hibised by the balance sheet, will show, on Analysis, that the company has worked itsu up into a position that sound. With the improved conditions. which we are looking for, and with some further resources, the director hape to be in a position to develop businere în directions that it has not been hitherto possible to exploit. Before concluding, I would mention, as the report states, that the agreement with the parent company
