EXTRACTS from the DIRECTORS' REPORT for the
year ending 31st December, 1868.
'I he Directors have again to draw attention to a year of
most remarkable progress.
Accustomed as they have been for many years to re-
port an accession of business larger than any other Com-
pany in Europe, they have on this occasion to state that
the New Premium Income of the year 1868 amounts to the
extraordinary sum of £87,748 16s. 11d. per annum—the
corresponding amount for 1867 being £54,819 ss. 3d. This
income has been derived entirely from the resources of the
Prudential, and not from any amalgamation or transfer.
The Premium Income at the close of the year amounts
to £220,978 Os. 10d., after making allowance for all Poli-
cies lapsed or surrendered.
The claims paid during the year amount to £67,181 10s.
5d., raising the total disbursed under this head since the
establishment of the Company to £480,986 10s. 3d.
The Assurance Fund at the close of the year amounts
to £241,301 12s. 4d., against £170,959 14s. 6d. at the close
of 1867, being an increase of £65,341 17s. 10d.

A debtor and creditor account of the assurance fund is
appointed hereto with the valuation as at December 31st,
1866, and the surplus now shiwn is of the most encourag-
ing character, and justifies the expectation that at the
division of profits at the end of 1871 the results will be
exceedingly favourable.
The Directors draw the especial attention of their new
connexions to the circumstance that 16 years since they
inaugurated a plan of weekly audit of accounts. This
system is still carried out by them with an undiminished
care and attention, and by its adoption they are enabled
to control the operations of the Company in the most
efficient manner.
