A further £2OOO had been written off preliminary expenses and
share issue and debenture issue expenses. leaving a credi/ balance of £3BB. The director reconimende,] that the amount should be carried forward. The position of the company had been considerably improved during the year, owing chiefly to the Wallsend-Taylorville Estates having agreed to take up 3300 shares in satisfaction of a liability for roya ties amounting to £3300. This had reduced the company’s current liab lilies to a. very moderate sum. ve'l covered by floating assets. The prospect ,of a dividend being paid shareholders was now brighter than at any stage since the company commenced nnerations. Good prog'pss had been made in the development of the ne'v field, but the necessity of open ng ’t up to enable it to be worked to the best advantage had naturally affected *he daily output anj increased working cos-‘s. Since the end of the year however, the output had improved and this improvement shou'd continue from now on, with .consequent reduction in costs. The buildings and plant had been maintained in good order and condition, and additions totalling £lOB5 had been made during th* year.
