i AUDITOR S' REPORT
We have audited the records of the Prince Edward Island Mutual Fire Insurance Company for the year ended December 31st, 1953, and verified the cash and bank balance and securities;
5 As all insurance is on the premium note plan, a reserve for un- earned premiums, as described in Section 69 (4) of The Insurance Act, is not. required to he segregated from the Company's general reserve;
We have examined the reserve for unpaid claims and in our opinion it is adequate. We have verified the balances owing by agents, holders for notes for cash premiums;
snd by policy-
After deducting the net investment in office equipment, as shown above, the Balance Sheet does not include as assets items prohibited the annual statements
by The Insurance Act from being shown in required to be filed thereunder;
Under a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada. mutual fire insurance companies are now taxable only on net investment income, snd during the year an adjustment of 87,593.51 was made for taxes that would otherwise have been payable for 1952:
Subject to the foregoing comments. in our opinion, and according to the best of our information and the explanations given us, the foregoing Balance Sheet sets forth fairly and truly the state of affairs of the Prince Edward Island Mutual Fire lnsursnce Company II at December 31st, 1953;
All transactions of the Company that have come with our notice
have been within its powers. H. R. DOANE AND COMPANY, Chartered Accountants.

10: THE POLICY HOLDERS OF PRINCE EDWARD iISLAND MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
Thirteenth Financial State- enulng December
Your Directors wish to submit the mom. of the amalgamated Companies for the year Gut. 1966.
If there were no unslgsmstlon this would be seventy years Prince Edward Island Agricultural Mutual Fire Insurance Company ' would be in operation and the fifty-first year the original Prince Ed- ward Island Mutual Fire Insurance Company would be in operation. The net premium income for the year amount: to S124,638.m. This is a decrease from the previous your of approximately as.ooo.oo. Most of this decrease in income was In the months of November and Decem- ber. no doubt due to the fact that the price of potatoes was very in- definite. There were very few policies issued on potstoel.
The net amount of interest collected as current revenue for the year is 39,467.52. This is also a reduction from last year and your Directors consider that the cause of this was the same as the reduc- tion in the premium ' me.
Our assets are In a liquid form and are entered in our Plnanclsl Statement at cost. The market for Dominion of Canada Bonds is off, therefore the bonds are not worth their original value. This does not affect the Company because your Directors can see no cause for the liquidation of these Bonds In the Immediate forseesblo future.
Our total investments excluding the building amount to &09,3U7.59. This amount is made up as follows: ,
Dominion, Provincial and Municipal Bonds .3221.1(If.2
Mortgages and other Securities . H.303) Accrued interest on Securities 1,150.36 In our opinion the assets are all liquid and could be turned into cash within I very short time. The losses for the year smount to 351,299.81. This amounts to approximately Forty-One per cent of the premium income. During the last fifteen years the percentage of income peld out in loans has bun gpmgxlmgtely Fifty-six. Our experience shows that in ordinary economical times the law of averages governs the amount ol lose and the average as we said before is approximately Fifty-Six per cont I0 that this ye'ui- with an average of Forty-One per cent. is an exceptional year and probably our surplus for the new year will be reduced a con- aldersble amount. Your Directors therefore do not see it advisable
to reduce the premium rate. The following is an enll the year 1953: Rural Risks Urban or Village Risks ..

reserve. It has always been the aim of your Directors to keep the run between the insurance carried and the reserve in a good healthy am. and also perform the best services at the lowest possible premium rate Our net income for the you amounts to 342,481.51. This is the amount which we received less the amount which we paid out. Dunn the year I Judgment was handed down by the Supreme Court 9 Canada which exempted the premium income of our Company from Income Tax which is a considerable saving for the Company. The interest income is still tsxnble so that odr Income Tax for 1953 amounts to 81.96.68 as reference to the Financial Statement will more full)' appear. The commission paid to the Agents amounts to about 15.60 per cent of the premium income. The expenses of administration of the Company amount to 13,7 per cent of the premium income. Your Directors trust that the current year will be a succesgful year and will again demonstrate the benefit of the co-operative prln. clple which underlies the system to Mutual Insurance.
