Factory buildings and plant are in good working order.

In respect of the current year, cheese in store for export has been valued at the guaranteed price according to grade, and local cheese at 7d per lb., and the estimated season average payout per pound of butterfat (all grades) which should result therefrom is 17.757 d. The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend on share capital. The retiring directors (Messrs R. McDougall and G. J. Gillies) are eligible for re-election. Mr L. H.
