June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of
Pioprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES
WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in
the Chair.
The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last
annual general meeting a report was made to them for the
quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus
was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1867 after deduction of this
bonus--that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d.

HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- - viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised,
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore bo considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances. _

The claims on decease of lives assured aro nearly iden- I
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :

additions thereto unpaid
