This marked increase and the fact that the average policy, for the first time, exceeded $4,000, affords impressive evidence of the ever-grow- ing popularity of the Company. After deducting amounts reassured, the total assurances in force amount to $2,401,- 237,036.94, an increase of $504,321,102.37. This advance is notable not merely for its magnitude, but because when allowance is made for terminations by death and maturity, it represents a remarkably high rate of con- tinuance and evidences great satisfaction on the part of our policyholders. The amount paid to policyholders since organization, together with the amount at present held for their security or benefit, exceeds the total amount received from them in premiums by $139,290,474.03. The rate ot interest earned on the mean invested assets has risen to 7.02 per cent. This figure includes a certain amount from bonuses and stock privileges accruing on many of the Company's holdings; but if these were entirely eliminated the rate would still be 6.60 per cent. A nmet profit of $13,077,284.62 was realized from the redemption or sale of securities, The surplus earned during the year, based on the values entered in the accounts, amounted to $42,863,578.59, but from' this sum substantial appropriations have as usual been made to further strengthen the position of the Company. An additional $10,000,000.00 has been de- ducted from the market values of our securi- ties as a provision against possible market fluctuations, raising the amount thus set aside for this purpose in the accounts to $30,000,000.00. A further $1,000,000.00 has been written off the Company’s buildings. $931,000.00 has been appropriated to raise the annuity reserves to the Rutherford table of valuation, with interest at 314 per cent. This exacting standard requires reserves $2,656,000.00 in excess of those of the Domin- ion Government standard. $1,200,000.00 has been set aside as addi- tional provision for claims arising from total disability, death claims as yet unreported, and possible claims under cancelled policies on which a surrender value or reinstatement might be applied for. $22,606,265.67 has been paid or allotted as profits for the year to policyholders. Tl"t special amount entered as a liability to provide for unforeseen contingencies has been ‘ maintained at $12,500,000.00. After making all these deductions and allo- cations, $5,868,899.96 has been added to the undivided surplus, bringing the total over liabilities, contingency accounts, and capital stock to $60,307,762.44. In accordance with our usual conservative practice the securities owned by the Company have again been valued at figures much below the market quotations current at the close of the year. This undervaluation represents an important element of strength to the Com- pany additional to the specific provisions in the statements. Your Directors are pleased to announce that the high scale of profits at present allotted to participating policyholders will be continued during the ensuing year, while the Special Dividend on maturing policies, introduced last year, has been extended to include policies maturing after having been in force five years or longer, and the scale of benefit has been increased. The business of the Company has always been conducted under the exacting provisions of the Canadian Insurance law and the rigid supervision of the Insurance Department of the Government of Canada. Ever since we entered the United States in 1895, the Company has been under similar supervision there and is now subject to the regulations of thirty-eight States of the Union which require periodical examination of the affzirs of all com- panies licensed in their territory. In the discharge of their regular duties a committee of twenty-two examiners, representing the States of Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Ten- nessee, Washington, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida and the District of Columbia’ recently "completed an ex- haustive examination into every de- partment of the Company’s affairs. The report of this committee makes gratifying ; reference to the liberal treatment accorded to our policy- holders, and provides authoritative testimony to the Company's strength. Even adopting the low valuations placed by us on our securities, the committee still reported a surplus at the close of last year $1,333,921.71 in excess of the figure claimed by the Company.
