HARLAND AND WOLFF Last Year Worst on Record Harland and Wolff. Limited, shipbuilders nnd engineers, report a trading loss for 1933, without provision for depreciation, of £1(54,305, which compares with a loss of £118,178 for 1932. After crediting interest received, dividends on investments. refund of income tax amounting to £B6lO (against £57,126). and transferring £150,000 (against £100,000) from reserve, the credit balance to go forward on profit and loss is reduced from £47,058 to £44.281. There being no net earnings again, no amount has been charged to profit and loss for interest on the deferred creditors’ certificateswhich are to be issued, or deemed t_o be issued, by the company. The directors again add their note to the balance-sheet stating that the book values of investments in subsidiaries and the general investments are considerably in excess of their present values under existing conditions, and that the various amounts owing by subsidiary nnd associated companies may not be realised in full. The year 1933. state the directors in their report, proved to be the worst on record in the industry, and there was little wor’.c in progress in the shipyards and marine engineering works during most of the period ; a considerable amount of repair work, however, has been carried out. Since the latter part of 1933 an improvement has taken place to the extent that there is now in hand considerable tonnage, consisting of a cruiser for Tf.M. Navy, two large motor passenger vessels for the South African mail service of the U.nion-Castle Company, and two fust insulated motor-vessels for the same owners; six large refrigerated cargo vessels. Tn addition, the company has in hand large tankers for two of the most important oil companies, and a number of smaller craft. Both shipyards and engine works, therefore, will be well occupied for some considerable time on new construction, and. with the general improvement in trade, the volume of repair work should he maintained, if not increased. during the current: year. The directors point out, however, that with the capacity of the industry so much in excess of the demand prices are necessarily low.
