The DIRECTORS have much pleasure in presenting their Report and Accounts for the Year 1892. ORDINAItY BHANCH.-The number of Policies issued during the year was 56,912, assuring the sum of JC5.886.889, and producing a New Annual Premium Income of £ 319,948. Tbe Premiums received during the year were £ 1,665,611, being an increase of £ 222,865 over the vear 1891. The Claims of the year amounted to £ 4:8,667. The number of Deaths was 2,932, and 117 Endowment Assurances matured. The number of Policies in force was 301,643. INDUSTRIAL BRA.NCil.—The Premiums received during the year were £ 3.819,157, being an increase of £ 160,8i9. The Claims of the year amounted to 91,602,816. The number of Deaths was 178,5^31 and 1,230 Endowment Assurances matured. The number of Free Policies grouted dui ing the year to those Policy-holders of five years' standing who have desired to discontinue their payments was 47,395, the number in fore J being 288,493. The total number of Policies in force was 10,105,877 the average duration of them is seven years. The total Assets of the c omparjy, as shown in the Balance-sheet, are 216,309,652, being an increase of £ 1,686,025 over those of 1891. The Directors have since 1836 been considering a plan whereby the great labour and expense attendant upon the Quinqiieuuial Valuation might be lessened, and have now matured a system of recording and classifying the risks in both Branches from day to day in such a manner aj to make the work of actual valuation pos- sible at any laomenl at a comparatively small cost. The Directors, therefore, determined to exercise the power recently conferred upon them by the Share- holders, and complete valuation for the past year has been made. with the following results ORDINARY BRAKCH.—The valuation ot this Branch has been made upon the same principles as those of the preceding Quinquennium, namely, a net premium valuation on the Institute of Actuaries' (HM ) Table of Mortality for the life risks, and Mr. Finlaison's Govern- ment Annuity Table 1884 for the annuities, the rate of interest in both cases being 3 per cent. The surplus of Assets over L'abililies amounts to £ 369,560. INDUSTRIAL DRANCH.-Tlle valuation of this Branch has also been made on the basis of a net pre- miuin valuation at 3 per cent, interest, the Table of Morta ity being Dr. Fair's English Life Table," No. 3. The surplus of Assets over Liabilities amounts to £ 254,609. The total surplus of the two Branches is £ 6:4,109, out ot which it is proposed to carry forward £ 270,000 ( £ 70,CO-1 from the Ordinary Branch and £ 200,000 from the Industrial), leaving £ 391,109 for distribution among the participating Policy-holders and Shareholders, in accordance with the Regulations of the Company under its special Act of Parliament. It may be thought that in carrying over so large a sum as £ 270,COO the Directors have acted with unneces- sary cauiion; but, although ample provision lias been made for every known contingency, it must not, be for- gotten that in so extensive a business the w. rking of a single year cannot be taken as the measure ot the average profits over a series of years. The processes and results of the valuation, which has betu carried out, by the Actuary. Mr. F. Schooling, have been approved by Mr. A. H. Bailey. By the adoption of an annual declaration of bonus Policy-holders will obtain each year a vested increase to the sum assured, and will not have to wait until the end of a Quinquennial period. This advantage is emphasised by the fact that reversionary bonuses can be surrendered for casil, The Directors desire to record tin ir high appreciation of the efforts of the staff of the Company in carrying out the worn of the valuation, which, under the improved methods, was accomplished in less than one month from the close of the year. 'J lie Balance-sheet has been submitt d to Messrs. Daloitte, Dever, Griffiths, and Co., whose certiiicate is appended to the accounts. Extract from the Heport of MR. F. SCHOOLING, the Actual' to the Company.
