The secretary read the notice convening the meeting.
The Chairman
man said:-We have the pleasure to lay before you the report, and accounta for 1907, copies. of which have been in your hands for some days past Car working ac count again shows an increased profit, and wo are able to divide four face in dividend, which i think is very satisfactory, and I hope will be up- proved by all shareholders. We are compelled to put something to reserve by out articles of asso- } ciation, but we do not recommend more than $1,000 for this purpose, as in the present stale of our finances this fund existy only on paper," the money being used in our business, but on the other hand we propose writing off the sub- stantial, sum of $84,974-8, for depreciation of Buildings, machinery, etc. The work of the year unday review shews, i am glad to say, steady progress both in our sales and in our output. The two extra rotary kilos, which we acquired on the spot under circumstances explained to you at our last annual meeting, were not in as good order as they might have been or would bave been if we had taken them over ourselves from the makers at home, and consequently more time was occupied in erecting them and putting them together than we bad expected. All defects were, however, finally made good, and these kilns now form a valuable addition our plant. In ike accounts you will notice that we had to pay $50,000 for interest on borrowed money, or some $13,000 more than we did, the prious year, but this item should be consider ably less in the next account, as our debit to the Bank is now reduced to three lacs. You will, no doubt, wish to have some details of our capital expenditure during the year, which has principally caused this increase in interest. We spent, as you will see from the accounts, some $55,000 at Macao, which was chiefly made up of:-
$15,000 on sea wall and reclamation of
land.
$3,000 for a stons breaker.
$4,909 fo. an economizer to economies
fuel for the boilers.
$7,000 for plant to take up and discharge fresh clay into factory and afterwards into boats.
+
$5,000 on a shed for storing clay. $12,000 for another ball mill for grinding burnt coment the rest being labour and other small items.,
At Hok Un our expenditure was nearly three iscs, a great part of which was spent on the now rotary kilns, viz:-
$65,000 to complete the installation of the
two kilus.
$72,000 on a grinding mill; and $41,000 on the buildings."

One of the most recent cases coming under the latter category came to our notice yesterday and it is our pleasure to put it on record to-day with a view of no! only recording the gallantry of the plucky act but also of commending the deed for some sort of recognition on the part of the employers of the two gentlemen whose attempt at saving the life of an unknown.

These necessitated a 500-horse power engine, which cost $32,000; besides this we built clinker and coal sheds costing $10,000, a new cement godown for about $7,000, a stave drier for $10,000, and spent about $10,000 on additional machinery and buildings for the saw mill. Also $6,000 op new roads and drains; $3,200 on a small tramway: $3,500 on arrangements for bringing down stone from the West River; sad the rest on small alterations and inci dentals. You will thus appreciate that eolar ging the factory does not meap simply adding now kilos. For new kilos entails extra.grind ing plant, and at requires increased power. On the other hand, it, of course, results in an enlarged output and that again entails a larger Jaw mill, more godowns, and increased stocks both of raw material and cement to receive and handle and ship off. Nothing has been spent that was not absolutely necessary or that does not tend to greater efficiency and make for economy' and "reduced working expenses, our constant aim being to obtain the best results by the adoption and nte of the most up to date plant and labour- saving machinery. At Deep Water Bay the expenditure of $20,000 was principally on a new boiler and engine and other small addi- tions to machinery. You will notice that we have only allowed for depreciation of buildings and machinery, fighters, etc. at the paual ratening. of six per cent. and have not included land as "some shareholders raised the point that pro- perty at Kowloon if anything had appreciated and was not depreciating which is no doubt the case.
