Turning to the Profit and Loss
Account, it will be seen that your Directors have voluntarily waived their fees and that your Auditors have ako been good enough to reduce their fees. I am glad to say that by having exercised the most stringent economy, the most difficult year so far experienced by this Company resulted in a slight profit instead of a heavy loss.
FUTURE UNCERTAIN As to the future, although the promise of stabilty in our ex- change would undoubtedly improve business generally and that con- ditions for the past three months have given us good reasons to be optimistic. we must yet be pre- pared for another lean year, and I can assure you economy com- patible with efficiency will still continue to be our watch-word.
