Steamships Trading Company, of Papua, in the year ended June 30. show a net profit of £14,221, compared with £17,056 made in the previous year. As the company was forced to cease trading in February. 1942. as a result of the evacuation of administrative and civilian personnel, the profit can be regarded as a very good one. Owing to the uncer tainty of the future, however, no ordin ary dividend has been paid. The 7 per cent, dividend on preference shares absorbs £3.500. This company has lodged with the War Damage Commission sub stantial claims for damage suffered by enemy action and for property taken over by the military.
