The total of premiums received is £371,548 12s. Id., of
which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected
in the year.
Theinterest from investments 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 that the average for the past two years barely ex-
ceeds £30R,000 tends to confirm that statement.
The expenses of management. are greater by nearly
4800 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 regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that
they are only three per cent. of the total income.

The balance-sheet does not appear to call for any re-

£95,422 7s. 3d. already mentioned, as is shown by tho
augmentation to that extent in the balance of the surplus
fund.
