Aз an auditor I would not have allowed collateral security

loms item to be in balance sheet. They should be entered

as unsecured loans, Company lent $761,100 according to its

books. Ex.0 is Cash Book.

According to it loans were made

in June, July 1927, bulk on June 10th, last on July 15th.

During whole of this period Company never had the cash to

main these loans, balance cash in hand on 1.6.27 was $9,330

(Ex.0). During June received various amounts totalling about

$50,000 in actual cash. In July $19.58. They never had cash

in hand to make these loans to shareholders. Amount of loans

made in June was $619,100, in July $142,000. Ex.P (N.I.B.18)

Application & Allotment Book put in. During that period

probably not more than 20,000 was received for share capital.

They therefore had about $80,000 in all with which they pur-

ported to make loans amounting to about 7 lakhs.

The result is that on one side of cash book an amount is shown

as received as share capital, and on some date payment of same

amount is shown as made to eeme man. It is just a cross entry

There was no security at all.

Item Mortgage & Long Term Loan $266,630.

I saw no mortgage at all held by bank. I know of none. If

there were none this entry would be absolutely false. I

analysed how this entry was made up. One item $4,000; one

$2,500; one $130, and last it on $250,000 owing from Hong Kong

branch. This last wasn't a mortgage loan. It was a cro83

entry with Hong Kong branch, it appears in Head Office hook

(Ex.R). By no means could this entry of $260,000 be an asset.

Entering this item in balance sheet as an asset is absolutely

false.

This entry could not have been made by mistake. N.I.B.25(Ex.Q)

is loan rogister. It is impossible that entry can have been

It has been taken out of a general heading in

overlooked.
