THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT OF THE COURT Of directorS
TO THE ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING
OF
SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD
AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG, On Monday, the 25th August, 1834, AT 3 P.M.
To the Proprietors of the
HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.
GENTLEMEN,
The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June last.
The net profits for that period, including $57,645.23 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $855,113.52, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $843,715.18.
From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of Two Pounds Sterling per Share, which on 60.000 Shares will absorb $533,333.33. The difference in Exchange be- tween 1/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/84, the current rate of the day amounts to $113,857.68.
The Directors propose placing $45,080.48 to the Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $4,400,000, and adding $100,000 to the Reserve for equalization of Dividends Account, bringing this fund up to $400,000.
The Balance $51,443.69 to be brought for- ward to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.
The Directors have to congratulate the Shareholders on successfully carrying out the increase of the Bank's Capital which now stands at $7,500,000. The calls have been fully paid up, and the net premium on the new Shares, amounting to $1,854,919,52, has been placed to the credit of the Reserve Fund.
AUDITORS.
