On general plant, the additions amount to $337,255.55, whilst au- tomatic plant preliminary expenses now stand at $572,899.43, which later sum will be Incorporated in General Plant Account when the new system becomes operative.
Extinguishing An Account,

Call to be Made.
Coming now to the cash position, you will observe that your Company is carrying an overdraft, which at the end of the financial year under review, amounted to $88,040.46, and this overdraft will be increased as

bers.
The balance required to provide for the full amount of 3271,208.97, shown under Change of System Account after utilising the Share Premium Reserve and the Stores Obsolescence Reserve, has been ap- propriated from profits, and re- quires your confirmation.
With regard to the balance sheet, you will notice that General Reserve Account will stand at £225,000.00 if you approve your Directors' recommendation that $50,000.00 be appropriated thereto for the year under review. That account is represented on the contra sido by investments, and I am sure that your Directors' policy in investing the Reserve in securi- ties outside the business will com- mend itself to ધર્મી shareholders, since the adoption of that course, where possible, is in conformity with the principles of sound in-
ance.
The results of the Company's operation under the new automatic system during the present year will have to be considered before it will be possible for your Directors to ascertain whether Increased rates of subscription are
necessary to enable the Company to receive a return on its investment in the man- ner contemplated by the Telephone Ordinance. In this connexion it is the earnest desire of your Company to maintain, if possible, its present rates of subscription, notwithstand- ing its heavy capital outlay in the purchase of the new Automatic equipment, and the reconstruction of its line plant, but the serious fall in the purchasing power of the Hongkong dollar must of accessity result in a very material increase in both construction and maintenance costs.
