For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual
General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869,
WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy-
Chairman of the Company, in the Chair.
The Report which the directors have now to submit to
the proprietors differs in its tenor but little save in ono or
twc particulars from that laid before then. in 1868.
The income of the year, it will be seen, amounts to
£540,499 185.., and the total charge to £445,077 10s. 9d
The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of
the surplus fund at the commencement of the financia
year, raised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present
amount.

The total of premiums received is £371,548 12s. ld., of
which sum £13,560 ss. Id. is for new assurances effected
in the year.
The interest from inveetments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or
£4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's
realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection
with this important feature of the company's affairs the
directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit
and loss account again exhibits a 'considerable profit,
amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000.
It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount
was announced in last year's report.
Turning to the items constituting the charge of the
year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac-
tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than
usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material;
as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin-
quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and
the fact tbat tho average for the past two years barely ex-
ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement.
The expenses of management aro greater by nearly
£BOO than they were last year. They would have been
materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring
the company's securities into the names of additional trus-
tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must
be rezarded as very moderate. It will be observed that
they are only three per cent. of the total income.
