and the Secretary

The accounts as prepared by Messrs Marreco & Co were carefully analysed.

Unfortunately the net result showed a very small profit to be carried forward after the payment of the Dividends on the 1st and 2nd Preference Shares viz: £31.3.6 and this was only arrived at by the Managing Director agreeing to give up £500 of his Director’s fees, and also not to take any interest on the amount standing to the credit of his account, which should have been £334.

The Directors Fees arranged for the year and as approved by them are:
Mr F Garrett £700
Mr A Eames £850
Mr A Tanner £600
and the amount to be sent to Mr Pearsall who has been away from business so long £400.

The other Directors thanked Mr Garrett for so generously foregoing the above mentioned amounts and it was understood that when the state of business warranted it these sums should be made up to him.

The accounts as prepared were passed by the Directors, and it was decided to hold the Annual General Meeting on Thursday August 6th.

It was decided by the Directors that in view of the small balance of profit and the fact that the value of the machinery and fixtures stand at so low an amount in comparison with the real value that no amount should be written off this year for depreciation
