Mr. Li Tse-fong maid: In second- ing the Resolution I may safely say that all shareholders will join me in congratulating the directors, agenta and staff on the very satisfactory results of last year's working.

The increase of over five million units of current generated, a rise of nearly 10 per cent. is a source of satisfaction to all of us and confirma our general belief that the Company
