received Ex.G I didn't notice if it was signed or not.

I don't remember whether it was signed or not.

I didn't prepare balance sheet.

My other work during

auditing time finished some time between 5 & 6 p.m.

By Official Receiver I was asked about Ex.G but not about

others. I mentioned other 3 balance sheets. I did not tell

Official Receiver that I had told Mr. Brewer how to make out

balance sheet from the 3: I said 'I asked Mr. Brewer how he

pre pared combined balance sheet from the 3 subsidiary ones'.

The report of what I said to Official Receiver is a misunder

-standing. I never saw Mrs. Brewer there. I am sure Mrs.

Brewer nover asked me to sign any balance sheet. I signed

Ex.H in Mr. Brewer's room in his presence. I did not alter

Chinese characters in Ex.k. I saw Rodrigues once only, Leo

not at all, during evenings when I was auditing. By books

in English and Chinese I mean that only headings are in

Chinese.

behalf of Official Receiver. I examined many books, anongat

signature only through seeing it on bank papers. I investi-

gated Ex.D.
