IMPROVEMENT MAINTAINED
I am pleased to report that the Improvement made in our turn- over has been maintained, and the very drastic reductions made in overhead and other charges at the beginning of the financial year is reflected in the accounts now pre- septed.
Turning to the balance sheet;' on the abilities side under. sun- dry creditors is included an amount of $12,83400 representing the Company's commitments for
.goods in transit.
on
чи
On the assets side. shareholders will see that the value of stocks hand is approximately the same as it was at February 24, 1936, but that Goods in Transit are up by some $10,800. While it is the am of your Board to keep down the value of stocks it is felt that we must cater for all reason- able requirements.
A notable feature of the past year's trading was the increase in the percentage of cash sales and this increased percentage is being maintained,
The profit for the year has been applied in reduction of the debt balance of profit and loss account which now stands at $13,286.10.
I will now formally propose the adoption of the report and ae counts as presented.
