particularly during the latter
'. "
*Mr. Patterson reported that after
up voluntary additions of
$7,226,000 to insurance and annuity reserves, the net gain from opera¬
tions, before dividends, in 1947 was $29,762,600. This included $7,609,100 of non-recurring capital gains.
The net gain of $29,762,660 was
$11,071,000 less than in 1946.
The difference, he explained, was due
largely to smaller capital gains, to larger increases in special .reserves
and to increased operating expenses in 1947.
:
; ,
'
Surplus was increased during the year by $13,373,800 and the bal¬
ance of the year's gains—$16,388,800—was
set aside for dividends to
policyholders. Surplus at the year-end totaled $132,742,700, which is
7.70%
of the company's contract reserves and deposit liabilities.
In
addition, the company holds $21,173,100 in special reserves for insur¬
ance, annuities and fluctuation of securities.
