BEST RESULTS SINCE 1929
British Insulated Cables
London, March 20. The results disclosed by the ac- counts of British Insulated Cables, Limited, are the best since" 1929. Net earnings at $493,307 show an increase of £85,000 and are equal to over 271 per cent, on the Ordi- nary capital of £1.866.888. A feature of this company's Anances, and are of the sources of its strength, is the large proportion of profits appropriated to reserves in the past, and the board now makt a further allocation of £100,000 to the reserve, making it £1,520,000. In addition, there is a dividend equalization account of £300,000, while the "carry forward" amounts to £303,880. As already announced a bonus of 35 per cent. 'is added to the dividend of 15 per cent, which has been paid for many years, making a total of 20 per cent. for 1935. The board attribute the larger earnings to increased turn- ever, new plant and buildings, and greater emciency. The principal movement among the assets is an increase from £1,147,000 to £1.- 497,000 in the investments other than those in subsidiaries. Float- ing assets amount to £3,548,000, out of total assets of £6,426,000, Current liabilities are £862,000, inclusive of contingent reserves of unspecified amount.
