TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1968 On the retirement and return to Britain of Mr. O. P. Edwards of the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank the accounts have been kindly audited by Mr. N. N. Chan of Butterfield & Swire (H.K.) Ltd. Members will note that there is an excess of Income over Expenditure amounting to $6,970, compared with a deficit amounting to $738 in the previous year. This has largely been brought about by the increase in sale of publications, which this year amounted to $6,118 (against $1,708 last year). Such a high figure for the sale of publications cannot be expected for the future since this year's figures include the sales of 2 Journals (1967 and 1968) and the full effects of the sales of the brochure on the 1966 Symposium and Sir Lindsay Ride's booklet "The Old Protestant Cemetery in Macao". There is therefore no room for complacency, and it will be noticed that once again annual subscriptions do not cover our total expenditure, the shortfall being covered by bank interest, income from investments and the sale of publications. In December 1968 the 125 shares in the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (London Register) were sold at a profit of $9,981 and are responsible for the large current account balance ($23,736). The proceeds of this sale have since been re-invested in buying 400 Hong Kong Electric and 400 Lane Crawford, the latter now showing a gratifying increase in market value together with a rights issue of 50 shares. There has also been a recent bonus issue of 133 shares in the China Light & Power. The cost over market value of 6% Commonwealth of Australia 1977/80 can be attributed not only to the low market value of this stock but also to the effects of devaluation. The Society is expected to meet heavy expenditure in the forthcoming year. The 1969 Journal with offprints will call for an amount of $8,000 to 9,000, and it is expected that Volume I of the Journal will be reprinted in the near future, calling for another $3,000. Members are strongly urged to assist in increasing the membership of the Society not only to help towards the cost of this high anticipated expenditure but also to obtain a more satisfactory income over expenditure for the future. D. A. GILKES, Hon. Treasurer. 28 April, 1969. ================================================================================ RASHKB Journal 皇家亞洲學會香港分會學刊 | RAS-1969 https://digitalrepository.lib.hku.hk/catalog/9g553n20d 1967 ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER, 1968 EXPENDITURE Sundry Expenses (printing, stationery, postage, lecture expenses) --- HK$ 2,668 1,100 Symposium Expenses + 12,670 Journal Expenses +++ HK$ 3,438 1,471 10,518 1,971 Surplus Excess of Income over Expenditure 6,970 1,190 Purchase of Library Books INCOME ... 1967 HK$ 200 Sundry Receipts 1,192 Symposium Receipts 1,708 Sale of Publications 333 Bank Interest Received 1,916 Dividends Received 580 Life Memberships 1968 10,901 Annual Memberships 1968 Annual Memberships 1969 paid in 1968 Deficit - Excess of Expenditure over Income +++ + HK$ 221 1,382 - L L 6,118 2,041 TTT 1,916 +++ +++ 1,100 11,380 210 60 738 HK$17,628 HK$24,368 HK$17,628 HK$24,368 BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31ST DECEMBER, 1968 LIABILITIES ASSETS HK$42,416 Surplus at 1st January, 1968 J HK$41,678 (738) Add: Income over Expenditure in 1968 Profit on Sale of Investments (Note 1) 6,970 HK$28,431 Investments at cost (Note 2) (For market value see below) Balance at Banks 15,518 7,333 Fixed Deposit $12,223 9,981 18,000 Deposit at Call ITT 526 Current Account +++ 7,152 23,736 43,111 41,678 Surplus at 31st December, 1968 12,612 Sundry Creditor-Printing Charges HK$54,290 58,629 HK$58,629 HK$54,290 HK$58,629 INVESTMENTS Note 1: 125 shares Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (London Register) Cost Proceeds of Sale (Dec., 1968) Profit on Sale + HK$12,913 22,894 HK$ 9,981 (Signed) D.

TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1971 The Accounts now before you have again been kindly audited by Messrs. Wong, Tan & Co. The deficit of Expenditure over Income for this year amounts to $792, compared with a deficit of $6,529 in the previous year. This is not, unfortunately, due to increased income but rather to decreased expenditure. Journal and other Publication expenses in 1970 ($20,350) were, as members may recall, exceptionally heavy, due to the number of publications about to be printed. The 1971 expenditure under this category ($16,657) is also high due to the following publications due for printing: the 1971 Journal, the report of the 1970 Symposium, and the Journal index. Such expenditure is of course a healthy sign of the Society's activities in this direction. The shortfall in Annual memberships to cover the expenditure is, as in previous years, made up by bank interest and dividends. Annual memberships are the most important part of the Society's income and members are actively encouraged to urge their friends to join the Society, not only to increase the income under this heading, but in order to make the Society wider known and permit more persons to share in its worthwhile activities. The Sundry Creditors on the Balance Sheet are for the publications referred to earlier. Local investments continue to show a gratifying increase in market value, which cannot unfortunately be said for the 6% Commonwealth of Australia Stock. The investments of the Society are kept constantly under review. March 25, 1972. D. A. Gilkes Hon.
