At the Fifteenth Ordinary General Meeting held at 15 Dorset Street E C on Thursday 21st July 1921

The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting

The Minutes of the last Ordinary General Meeting were read confirmed and signed.

The Secretary read the Directors Report as follows:
Gentlemen
Your Directors have the pleasure to submit herewith the Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 1921 duly certified by the Company’s Auditors.
The Directors regret that inspite of a considerable increase in the sales, the profit for the year is very much less than in the previous year, but having regard to the fluctuations during the year in the cost of paper, it has been exceedingly difficult to regulate prices charged to customers, and, moreover, the value of paper had dropped very considerably at the 31st March 1921.
The profit for the year, after providing for all expenses, amounted to £2743 – as compared with £6506 – the previous year.
The Company will be liable for Corporation Profits Tax but it is anticipated that there will be a claim for repayment of a small amount for Excess Profits Duty.
After providing for a full year’s dividend on the First and Second Preference Shares, and paying Income Tax there is a balance of profit for the year of £691.10.6 Which added to the balance brought forward from last year of £1564.17.6 makes a total of £2256.7.11.
The Directors recommend the payment of a dividend on the Ordinary Shares of 2/- per share free of Income Tax, which will absorb £640.4.0 leaving a balance of profit of £1616.3.11 to be carried forward to next year.

The Auditors, Messrs Marreco, Houseman & Brandon retire, and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The Secretary read the Auditors Report. Mr F Garrett proposed that the accounts be adopted, this was seconded by Mr A Eames, and carried unanimously.
Mr F Garrett proposed that Mr Pearsall be paid a further £25 on account of 1920-21 and also that the Directors Fees for the current year be the same as last year. This was seconded by Mr Eames and carried unanimously.

Proposed by Mr Garrett, and seconded by Mr Tanner that Messrs Marreco & Co be re-appointed Auditors for the ensuing year.
