The CHAIRMAN said-Gentlemen, -The report an accounts having been in your possession for some time, I will, with your permission, take them as read.

The nasty flat taste on waking in the morning is due to an excessive develop-During the whole of the past year we ment of bacteria in the mouth have experienced competition in the salo during sleep.

business has materially increased. The only markets in which we have lost ground are Kowloon, to the extent of 32 tons, and Macao 133 tons, at all other points our sales showed a very satisfactory increase. The decrease in Macao is due to the fishermen getting their require- ments delivered at about $8 a ton, a price with which, in view of demand from other

points, we have not so far attempted to compete. In Kowloon we have been zom- peting against ico at a cent per lb., our price being 1 cent. Revenue from Cold Storage a less than last year, but this is always a variable source of income. Our new extension is now complete, nud in full working order. At our meeting in February, 1912, I expressed the hope that this new plant would be completed in time to supply the demand for last hot season, but owing to late delivery of some of the machinery, due to strikes and labour troubles at home, we were unable to reap much benefit from it during the year under review. The acquisition of this new plant should materially reduce our working expenses during the current year. Our two steam wagons were used with much advantage during the summer season, and proved a great help in getting sufficient quantities of ice up to our town depots. Some difficulties were experi enced in working these wagons owing to weak spots in the roads, but these havo now been put right and we expect to use theed wagons constantly during this season. Your Manager reports that the buildings and machinery are in good order. Our Too House Strect property is fully let. During the year we have been abla to avoid loss from subsidiary coinage, "as our pay roll practically absorbed all auch coin received. As you are all awere, our competitors, the Oriental Brewery, went into liquidation, and I understand the entire concern has now been purchased for less than half its original cost, the intention, I believe, of the new owners being to continue the manufacture of beer with ice as a by-product. While from our point of view it would have been more satisfactory had the plant been removed from the Colony, the price at which it has been sold is by no means a low une unless the Brewery part of the business can be made to pay its way, and therefore, gentlemen, I do not see that the position of our Company is any worse than it was under the old régime. We are quite prepared now, as we were in the past, to work on friendly terms with these new competitors, provided, of course, that reasonable assurances in given that any agreement entered into will be respected. Some overtures have already been made to us with this object in view, but nothing definite has been settled, Before proposing the adoption of the report and accounts, if shareholders have any questions to ask, I shall be pleased to answer these to the host of my ability.
