THE ORIENT COMPANY'. LONDON, December 12. The annual balance sheet issued by the Orient Steam Navigation Company continues to show a flourishing state of affairs. Net profit for the year ended June 30. after providing for depreciation and contingencies, amounted to £391.832. This is greater than that for 1926-27. when a profit of £395,868 included a transfer of unstated amount from contingency account. The directors are placing £25,000 to pensions reserve, £125,000

to general reserve, and after repeating the payment of a dividend on the ordinary shares of 12| per cent., tax free, equal to £l5 12s 6d. less tax, are carrying forward • £99,023. A year ago reserve allocations amounted to £200,000, and £69,561 was carried forward. The issued capital of the company amounts to £2,325,140. There is a general reserve account of £975,000, which, with the addition of the “ carry forward,” is raised to £1,074,000. and other funds include repairs and renewals account £400,000, underwriting account £394,308, and unstated amounts representing reserves for taxation and contingencies which are included in the creditors item of £1.392,019. AVhile the fleet, workshop machinery, plant, etc., have a book value of £3,449,507. “ investments in Government and other securities at cost, less investment reserve account,” amount to £1,817,907. The position of the company is one of exceptional strength and liquidity. The Financial Times remarks: —“One of the difficulties confronting students of shipping finance has hitherto been that a number of the undertakings gave no indication either of their receipts from investments or of the extent to which their resources were locked up therein. Some light is now to be thrown on the subject under the provision of the new Companies Act enforcing a distinction in balance sheets between fixed and floating assets. In the case of the Orient Steam Navigation Company it is revealed that of tintotal assets of £5,831.800, nearly one-third is represented by Government and other securities,” z BRITISH PRODUCTS.

YELLOW CABS OF AUSTRALIA

The directors of Yellow Cabs of Australia, Ltd., have issued their half-yearly report. Generally speaking, they say, trading conditions for the six months proved difficult, and, as the taxi business is a particularly sensitive one and reacts to prevailing conditions, the company’s trading operations were not attended with any substantial financial success. Despite the amount carried forward in the profit and loss account from last year, and the aditional profit earned during the past six months, the directors did not feel justified in declaring an interim dividend. In coming to this conclusion. they were actuated by reasons of prudence which are considered to be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.
