The Chairman of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company, Limited, the Hon. D. F. Landale, said that the results for the past year had unfortunate- ly been marred by an exceptionally high loss ratio, when presenting his report at the Annual General Meeting this morning.

The company declared a dividend of $11 per share, free of tax.
