COMPANY MATTERS Aster Engineering Co. (1913), Ltd. THE report of the Aster Engineering Co. (1913) to December 31 last states that the balance brought forward was £31,927, from which has been paid excess profit and dividend £15,757, leaving £16,170. Profit for year was £30,302, making £46,472. Deducting depreciation (£5,195), reserve for liabilities and bad debt (£536) and interim dividend (^3>727)> there is left £37,014. The directors propose a final dividend of 5 per cent, (free of income-tax), making 10 per cent, for the year, and to carry forward (subject to excess profits tax) £33,282. Fellows Magneto Co., Ltd. THE report of the directors for the year ended Decem ber 31, 1918, states that a considerable increase in output was secured during the year, notwithstanding the many difficulties and various delays incidental to war conditions. Higher prices were granted by the Ministry of Munitions as from August, 1918, to compensate for the enhanced cost of labour and material. The manufacture of lighting r and starting sets and of other electrical motor car accessories has been under taken, and deliveries of these are now being made. During the past year the paid-up capital was increased from £66,533 to £114,696. Considerable further capital is now required in connection with the very profitable contracts accepted by, or offered to, the company. Subject to the approval of the shareholders and to such modifications as may be considered necessary, the directors propose to double the present authorised capital.-^and to issue a sufficient number of shares to provide the requisite funds for increasing the capacity of the factory and dealing with the extension of the business. The result of the company's working for the year ended December 31, 1918, after allowing £4,637 16s. 6d. for de preciation and the writing down of preliminary expenses, shows an available profit of £14,128 14s. $d. (as against £8,514 os. 3d. for the previous period of eighteen months), to which must be added the amount of £1,181 19s. 8d., brought forward from the previous year, making £15,310 14s. id. in all. An interim dividend of 4 per cent, has already been paid on the 8 per cent, cumulative participating preferred shares, absorbing £1,866 13s. yd. The directors recommend the payment of the final cumula tive dividend of 4 per cent, (less tax), together with a partici pating dividend of ij per cent, (less tax) on the preferred shares, making 91 per cent, for the year, and a dividend of 24 per cent, (less tax) on the ordinary shares, to all share holders on the register on May 14, 1919, whose shares were fully paid on December 31, 1918. This will absorb in all £12,180 12s. yd., leaving a balance of £3,130 is. 6d. to be dealt with. This sum, after deduction of such excess profits tax (if any) as may be payable by the company, it is proposed to place to reserve, less the sum of £1,000, which will be carried forward. Subject to the approval by the shareholders of the company of the proposed issue of the new 8 per cent, cumulative par ticipating preferred shares and ordinary shares, at an extra ordinary general meeting to be held shortly, the directors are now prepared to register the names of applicants for the new shares, particulars of which may be obtained from the Secretary, Fellows Magneto Co., Ltd., 21, St. James's Street, London, S.W. 1. Siddeley-Deasy Motor Car Co., Ltd.
