An investor wants to know two things about an investment. Can the company in which he is investing his money carr sufficient to pay the dividends promised? What is the security in the form of cash and the property back of investment?

Secretary,

Practically all of the assets of this company are invested in real estate mortgages as we do not invest in real estate except for quick resale or at inreed sale prices which ensure a re- sale at 1 profit. Although we ad- minister over 200 estates, collecting a rentals over T1s. 2,000,000 a year, we' have no rental property of our own. The proceeds secured from the sale of 8% debentures as well as the greater part of our own common stock is invested in real estate mortgages. We have been investing money in mortgages for more than twenty years and because of the care with which the security is appraised and the term arranged every cent of principal and interest has been repaid.

our

The above figures answer these two questions very convincingly so far as the China Realty Company is concerned. Not only does careful and efficient management of mortgages make it possible for us to pay 8% interest and still make a very satisfactory profit but the security behind the debentures is unusually ample Debentures are sold on the undertaking that the total issue shall not exceed 60% of the total capital of the company. The position of the debenture holders of this company as of December 31-1931 is, that the debentures arc secured by 1st mortgages on real estate on which 54% of the demand value has been loaned and in addition has the further security of TIs. 5,000,000 capital.
