In Ex.D capital subscribed shows $2,613,260.

Apparently

11,330 shares which have not yet been issued or alloted are

included in this $2,613,260.

Firstly that he

In Ex.L (folio 49) is allotment Suspense Account of $1,133,000

and there is footnote on the folio showing how this amount is

made up.

N.I.B.12 in Ex. J is one of application forms for

shares in accordance with footnote in folic 49 in Fx.L. I have

searched books and found that no shares were alloted to those

who applied in this way. First form of Ex.J is form Kwong

Hoi Tin. There are two points to note.

consents to act as director, secondly that the to pay cash

deposit is left blank. Other applications similar to EX.J

have no filled in, except one which might read 1%. I have

found no money which was received in connection with these

applications, and no allotments made. I have found nothing

to show that applications had been scoepted. I found a

pencilled note regarding a sum of $6,260 which added to 2

items of $1,474,000 & $1,133,000, makes up $2,613,260. I

don't know about this except that from the note I understood

that it had something to do with Shekki capital. I see Ex.N

(N.I.B.9). I obtained these papers from Instone Banking

Corporation premises. In my opinion bank is not liable to

shareholders for $2,613,260. Paid up capital is $987,510 in

rospect of 14,740 shares issued. It seems to me that bank

is only liable for $987,510 and perhaps the vö,260 as well.

Item Capital Uncalled $1,420,950. That consists of

Uncalled capital on 14,740 alloted shares $401,250, balance

$1,019,700 is 90% of $1,153,000 nominal value of unalloted

shares. I can't find these figures in booka anywhere. This

is only way I can account for these sums.

In my opinion 90% of Uncalled Capital on unalloted shares is

not an asset. In my opinion it is incorrect to show Uncalled
