After the notice convening the meeting had been read the Choir- man said.
The Directors' report and state- ment of accounts for the twelve months ended January 31, 1915, have now been in your hands fär some time and I will with your permission take them as read..
The statement of accounts and directore report are so complete and exhaustive that really I have little or nothing to add, except a few words in regard to Profit and Loss Account, which shows oredit balance of Tie. 110,8-3 24 for the year or, dednoting the interim dividend of 5 per cent. equal to Tle. 18,712.50 paid to shareholders on December 21, 1914, a balance at credit of. Tie, 94,110,84 which your Directora recommend to be dealt with as follows:
Tle.
To pay a fast dividend of 20 per cent, equall- ing Tis. I per share... 66,85.).00 To write off development
account
20,000.00
To write off live stock
and carts
480,50 To write off molor car
account
2,342.01 To carry forward to
next year's account... 4,438.38
***
Total Tls. 94,110.84 The results of last year's work- ing Jou will no douby consider most satisfactory and with likely a farther reductios in the cost of proction and granted the price of rubber remains on the level of about 2 I think that the Com- pany ale do still better during'
current year.
Begining with the current jear it is the intention of the boird to build up a cash reservo fund and this I lope boe your warm support. Whether this fund will be in the shape of an equali- sation of divi.lond fund or some ther rearre will be decided later, but you will no doubt agree that it is a wise policy to build up uch a reservo fund thus propar- ing ourselves, for all eveut." walities of the rubber market,
Dobenture Isaue-Since Janu arr 31 your Directora havo re- deemed farther debentures to the amount of Tla. 1,000 20 that the amount of deben u os issued is now only Tle, 10,000 pa agsiast T- 04,000-last year.
Regarding the Eilean only repeat what seems so clear from the report that matters are pro- gressing very satisfactorily and this also bas bron coufirard to us by our manager Mr. Robine, who has recently been with nein Stanghai on leave of hence, and I voice the opinion of the Board in recording our annulation of the way the work "f the estate is carried on by the manger and his staff. Masers. Barker & Co. have satisfactorily performed their work as agents, Whilst a word of appreciation is also due to our secretaries and kenal managers Meesra. Hugo Hei & Co.
Thie, gentlemen, is all I have to gay. Before asking you to adopt ther post and accounts I shall be pleased to answer any question.
