BALANCE SHEET (With comparative figures ot December-JM. 19rl) LIABILITIES Balance Shed, Danube: " I972 Let me soy at the outset that the fire and casualty business is a long-term business. in our profit-oriented society we are prone to compare this month with last month, this year with last year. Such is an interesting exercise, but it would be totally unsound to base our rates, or our underwriting policies, or our reserving policies, or our underwriting procedures. on any such short interval of exposure. We all know that the longer the term, the larger the number of units of input, the more accurate will be our approach to that "magic of averages" which is the keystone of the insurance industry. So I am pleased to tell you that 1972 was the beer year for the company since we became a multiple line company. The "clement shows on overall net profit of $578,40L00 for the year. Welcome to the ttttth Annual Meeting of The Waterloo Mutual Insurance Company. Since l863 this oldcarnpany has been engaged in writing insur- ance. In the beginning the business was confined to that of fire insurance on building and contents and in later years was extended to all lines at casualty and automobile insurance. During the past " - we exper- iencedsomeseverelossesontheautomobile line inseveral yearsand this reguired greater vigilance in selecting risks and control of volume at the automobile line and these controls have certainly vorkiod the wisdom of this move. We also decided to confine our business to Ontario, principally Southern Ontario, and not to attend our activities into other Provinces. This also proved to be a wise decision. We now see Governments of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and British Columbia taking over automobile in- surance and to my surprise british Columbia has announced its intention of entering into the general insurance business. So here we have the various companies in those Provinces paying taxes, including premium tax payable to the Province. and having to compete against Crown Corporations paying no tax. Considerable loss to many Canadian companies in thoee Provinces is bound to result from these decisions of Government. We are looking new toward a premium income of "0,000,000. (Compared with our I972 premium writings of $6.o00.0000, achieved by a reasonable and comfortable annual increment of not more than l096. We have the dedication and the capacity to achieve this goal. bot it must be achieved with sympathetic consideration for and eo-operation with our agents and our insureds, and with service ever uppermost in our minds. President Walter J. McGibbon, Q.C., in his upon to the 110th Annual Meeting of Mutual Policyholders. commented in port as follows: Vicar-President and Managing Director Geo. B. Kenney, in his re- port to the annual meeting, stated in pan: With our surplus over the $2,000,000 mark, and matching our unearned premium reserve, we hove a sound base on which to move ahead, and a little "room" in which to chart our growth pattern. Assets - $7,291,648, on increose of $207,236. m0†“MEN - $6,313,307, an increase of $344,584. ISRVE F0. UNmNED "mm - $2,230,519, an increase of $157,383. “HUS F0. POUCYNOIDEIS - $2,225,813, an increase of $477,604. Our slogan typifies our philosophy - "Not the bigges! - trying to be the best."
