Excluding the two favourable factors, the amount written off the Life Establishment Account would have been $57,931 and even this figure would have shown a satisfactory comparison with the corresponding figures of $15,278 and $26,642 written off in the two previous years.
Exchange Effects.
If exchange were to go up, part of the Life Assurance Fund would disappear, but the exchange fuctuation account in the balance sheet is sufficient to allow for any likely exchange fluctuation up wards in the near future and if the exchange goes down, the results would be still more favour- able.

Share Capital Call.
Marine Dept. Losses, The net premiums in the Marine Department amounted to $256,404 as compared with $160,890 in able to effect an improvement in 1928. While the section of the these accounts by the steps which business which represents our own underwriting has shown profit, the business which is rein- sured with
under Treaties reflects the unsatisfactory experi- of the London market and after setting up reserves on the in- crease, a loss of $16,284 is shown. Steps will be taken to discontinue business from unprofitable sources. Net premiums in the Fire In- Department at $116.282 show a considerable. increase over the figure of $79,468 in 1928, but the claim rate has been heavy. so that after setting up increased re- serves for unexpired risks a sum of $20,509 is transferred to the debit of Profit and Loss Account. The section of the business which has resulted in this. loss was dis continued in the latter part of last
surance
year.
While the net premiums in the Accident Insurance
Department have been about the same as last year, we have been able to increase the reserve
for unexpired risks from $10,991 to $14,913, nothing having been transferred to or from Profit and Loss Account.
In February last, a call of $1 per share was made on the Company's share capital, making a total of $4 per share paid up out of the nominal amount of $10. The call was made. as your Directors felt that the present paid up capital is rather small in view of the expan- sion of the Company's business and the proceeds of the call will be held in reserve. Any further likely development of the Company can be met out of income.
In conclusion, I should like to place on record our appreciation of the loyal co-operation of the Branch Managers, Secretaries, Agents and Staff in our various branches.
I have now the pleasure to pro- pose the adoption of the report and accounts of the Company for the year ending 31st December, 1929, as presented and when that has been seconded I shall be pleased to answer any questions that share- holders may wish to ask.
Mr. G. Hall Bratton seconded the adoption of the report, the re- solution being carried without dis-
cussion.
