thThie Company has been formed for the purpose of puers-
shaB'ng the freehold property known as Queen Ann '
~.;IPnard, and the valuable Shipbuilding business now
ed
en by private capitalists therein ; of carrying oil
-"uading in Iron and Wood, and of mechanical engi-
eering in all its branches.
IP`..oerTlhayeiSnahipbuilding Yard possesses a frontage to the sea
upwards of 1,200 feet, in which there will be capacity
down twenty ships, taking an average of 60 feet
In 'width for each ship. As at present constituted, the esta-
blishment comprises a first-class stone-built Dry Dock, 260
fee by -Y 52. feet, in perfect working, condition, with steam
engine, circular-siw gear, smiths' shops, timber sheds, offices,
and buildings, with slips, quays, and other necessary ap-
pliances, all in good repair. On the premises there is a capital
413.8 kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for the
nianager and employ& of the Company, six cottages for
foremen, &c., a good supply of fresh water, and an abund-
ance of lime and building stone.
It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet,
to construct. two additional dry docks and one large float-
ing dock, to be divided by caissons ; also additional frontage
quays, and to extend the appliances generally, with the 'view of the construction and repair of iron and wooden
ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engines,
armour and other plate, angle iron, and every description
of iron work.
For the purposes of the Company the position of the
premises is not to be sulpassed(as will be seen by the plan);
they are in close proximity to Sutton Harbour, forming
the seaboard of Catwater anchorage, and are completely
sheltered, first by the Plymouth Breakwater, and next
by the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which
the approaches to the premises are completely com-
manded by the guns of the citadel. The Branch Station
of the South Devon Railway Company is situated in the
immediate vicinity, and her Majesty's Dockyard, Devon-
port, is within an easy distance.
This Company will offer unusual facilities for carrying
On the proposed business in consequence of both labour
and the freight of iron, coal, and timber being extremely
low, added to which much expense will be saved, as the
Materials will be delivered on the quays of the Company
free of all dues and charges.
At present there are no Iron Shipbuilding Works at
rlYmouth, and much inconvenience and expense often re-
61in to shipowners in consequence of vessels outward
bound having to put back to London for repair.
The Directors consider it unnecessary to allude to the
ether advantages possessed by this Company, further than
to state that there is a great and growing demand for such
works as they propose to carry on.
,The operations of the Company will be conducted by
41r• Joseph Banks, who will devote his well-known expo-
ty ience exclusively to the interests of t Coman, aided
gentlemen of acknowledged mechanihe cal skipll. yAs the
Whole of the valuable property has been ceded to the Direc-
-075 terms which are considered highly advantageous,
profitable result of the undertaking may be deemed as
assured.
Interest at the rate of £6 per cent. is guaranteed for three
Years by the International Contract Company (Limited).
d the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the piaorsit will be returned in full. Should a less number of
es be allotted than are applied for, the deposit Will be

At the FIRST GENERAL ORDINARY MEETING of
the SHAREHOLDERS held at the Offices of the company,
85, Cannon-street West, on Thursday, the 27th day of
April, 1865,
GEORGE PAYNE KITSON, Esq., in the Chair,
the following REPORT was presented:—
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

For theginekonths ending the 31st March, 1865.
The Directois have the pleasure to submit their first
Report and Balance-sheet to the 31st ultimo.
The statement of account shows a profit of £96,121 7s. 7d.,
with which, after deducting expenses amounting to
£7,843 4s. ld., the Directors propose to deal as follows :
By recommending the payment of a dividend at the rate of
£lO per cent. per annum, amounting to £20,000, inclusive
of the interim -dividend already paid; by placing to a reserve
fund the sum of £60,000 ; by allocating £5,000 in discharge
in full for the preliminary expenses ; and carrying the
balance forward to next account.

The Directors venture to think they may congratulate
the shareholders upon the successful results of their opera-
tions at the very outset of their career. They wish at the
same time to explain that in dealing with the large profits
which have been made, they have decided upon limiting
their recommendation of a dividend to 10 per cent. per
annum, and recommend the appropriating of the balance in
the manner before-mentioned, because, from the peculiar
character of their business, the actual profits, although
positively earned, have not yet been wholly received in
cash.

The Directors are restrained from entering into any
detail of their transactions, for the obvious reasons that their
business is also the business of other companies and per-
sons, whose affairs they are not warranted in disclosing ;
and, besides, their doing so could not be otherwise than
detrimental to the interests of this Company.
The Directors have, however, much pleasure in stating,
for the information of the Shareholders, that the portion
of the business secured which has already arrived at a con-
dition to be, and has actually been, turned over to the
Company, will yield such large and certain profits, so
secured as 'to be free from all contingencies whatever, that
your Directors feel justified in giving the assurance that,
out of the profits from these alone, without at all calcu-
lating on the business which is to be turned over to the
Company when fully matured, they will be enabled to re-
commend during each of the next four or five years annual
dividends considerably exceeding that which you aro now
called on to declare.

In conclusion, the Directors wish to express their con-
viction that the position of the business of the Company
renders it unnecessary to make any further call.
