That resolution, you will remem. ber, concerned your approval of a reduction of the Company's capital. You will also remember that at the previous meeting I explained to you why your Directors thought it essential to reduce the capital of the company, and I do not think it necessary to deal any further with those reasons except to state that at the meeting in question the re- solution, approving the reduction of capital was unanimously passed as an extraordinary resolution.

To comply with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance it is neces eary that such extraordinary solution shall be confirmed by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote as are present in person or by proxy, at subsequent extraordi- nary general meeting and quent.y this mecting has been con vened for the purpose of enabling the extraordinary resolution passed at the previous meeting to be con- firmed as a special resolution.

Be effected by cancelling capital which has been lost or is unrepresented by avail- able assets to the extent of $4.30 per sbare upon each of the 42,000 shares which, haye been issued and by returning to the holders of the issued shares paid up capital to the extent of 30 centa per share and by reducing the nominal amount of all the shares in the company's capital from $7 to
