SECOND REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF GUTHRIE & LARNACH'S "YTEW ZEALAND TIMBER AND ■^ WOODWARB FACTORIES COMPANY (LIMITED), FOE THE NINE MONTHS ENDING 31si DECEMBER, 1878. Headquarters : Dunedin. Capital : £250,000 ; Subscribed, £210,655 ; Paid up, £206,542 10s. Dirkotors : Walter Guthrie, fieq. W. J. M. Larnach, iisq. George Septimus Brodrick, Esq. Kobert U a worth, Esq. James Robin, iisq. Bankers : The Bank of New Zealand. The Directors have pleasure in presenting a Report and Balance-sheet, which they feel sure will be satisfactory both in respect of profits earned and as aa evidence ot the progre-s of the Company's business. Tlie net profit realised on the nine months' working amounts to £24,033 3s 6d, which the Directors recommend should bd appropriated as follows :—: — By a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. par annum .. .. ..£12,926 8 7 By Bonus at the rate of 24 per cent, per annum .. .. .. 3,248 18 11 By canying to Reserve Fund (which will then stand at £12,000) .. .. 7,000 0 0 By balance carried forward .. .. 857 16 0 In regard to these profits, the Directors beg to say in the most marked manner that they have been legitimately earned aud reckoned, after writing oft bad debts, and making ample allowance for doubtful debts, as well as every other proper depreciation. As indicated in their last Repoir, it was the intention of the Directors to present a Half -Yearly BalanceSheet to the Shareholders, but the erection of certain new buildings at head-quarters, and consequent removal of heavy stocks of hardware, furniture, and vvoodwaree, rendered this impracticable^ Owing also to the expenses and inconvenience resulting from the same cause, the Company's trade for a portion of the paßt term has suffered to some extent ; but, as in the erection of the new buildings due regard has been paid to the requirements ot the rapidly extending trade of the Company, the advantages of commodious and suitable premises are already being realised. As explained to the Shareholders by circular in August last, the Directora deemed it expedient to call up the uupaid subscribed Capital, as provided in the Articlei of Association, to enable them to take advantage of what former experience indicated would be a most favourable opportunity for buyers in tlio Home Markets, and otherwise to fuatcr the Company's growing buaiuesa \ aud thoy have pleasure in belug able tg
