SILK NIT, LIMITED Reference to the decrease in net profit recorded by Silicnit, Limited, during the past year was made by the chairman of directors, Mr. IT. M. Rogerson. at yesterday's annual meeting. Be said that last year a large proportion of the profit was not subject to taxation as it was applied as an offset to the balance thon remaining of the loss made in the year ended December, 1038, and it had been necessary to provide out of this year's profits for the additional taxation on last < year's profits due to an increase in the rates after tho completion of the year's figures. Viewed from tho standpoint of the company's progress, the material fact was that tho profit, apart from taxation, showed ari increase of approximately £SOOO. Stocks of raw material, which wero £20,000 higher at ,£00.337, represented reasonable requirements for a year's trading, Mr. Rogerson said. Unfortunately, the future outlook was not good. The shipping position was bad arid mighl become worse, and to that difficulty mus! lie added the complete embargo placed by England on the export of cotton raw materials. There was also a severe rationing of silk fabrics. Mr. Rogerson was tho retiring director and -was re-elected. 1-
