P ROGRESS of the UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION . Chief OJtaes . - —Unity-buildings , 8 and 10 , Cannon-st ( J City . West Jind Offices : —I , NewCoventry-street , Leicester-sq . Itis with feelings of peculiarsatisfaction the DIRECTORS Of the UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION submit the following statements respecting its progress and business during the year 1855 , commencing 1 st January , and ending 31 st December last . It wall be observed the amount of new business transacted during that period produced annual premiums exceeding . £ 12 , £ 90 . This is a very large result indeed , judged by tbe average amount of new business effected by other life offices , which varies from £ 3 , 00 > to £ 5 , 000 per annum . There is but one sure test by which the progress and soundness of a life assurance institution can . be judged practically —viz ., the amount of new business it secures . No other test is valuable or even useful for such purpose . Unless a life office continues year after year to obtain a large new business , it must rapidly decline and eventually cease to exist . STATEMENT of New Life Business of the UNITY GENERAL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION , from 1 st January , 1855 , to 3 lst December , 1855 : — ' ~ 75 gS £ 3 i ___ Busi *<* ° Completed .

That in the year 1835 , 1 , 251 new Policies have been , completed and paid upon . 2 . That the amount assured thereby is £ 383 , 141 . 3 . That tue new Annual Premiums thereon amount to ; £ 12 , 393 Us od It is very gratifying also to know that the great bulk of this business is entirely free from loan , operations , as the following analysis will show : — Policies . Assuring . S £ la connexion with Loans 69 ^ 650 , 865 ± ' 2 , 114 9 S Unconnected with loans 1 » 162 , 332 , 275- 10 , 279 1 8 Totals ...... 1 , 251 ^ 6383 . 141 £ 12 , 393 11 5 Such are the results obtained by the Units Generai , during the year 1855 They are published as facts illustrating the power and influence of its connexions , and likewise the popularity of the principles propounded by it . MONETARY RESOURCES OF TELE UNITY GENERAL . The following facts exhibit at a glance the perfect secujity offered by this . Associaton to Assurers : 1 . The number of Shareholders is .. .. 2 . 037 2 . The subscribed capital is ^? 309 , 308 3 . The paid-up capital is £ 77 , 334 4 . The number of Policies issued is .. 3 , 413 5 . The amount assured thereby is .. £ 1 , 162 , 967 6 . The gross annual income . from Premiums , including that of the TRAFALGAR LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION , now merged into the UNITY GENERAL , is .. .. £ 37 , 497 To have achieved such a solid position in so short a period , und thus be enabled to command such extensive funds , is a sucqess without precedent , It is attributable to many favourable ciicumstuiccs . The close connexion of tho UNITY G 1 SNEKAI , with its powerful and kindred insti . tution , the UNI l'Y FIRE , has tended in many ways to ad . vance its career In like manner the UNITY GENERAL has benefited the UNITY FIRE , whilst the third Unity Association , viz ., the UNITY BANK , will be of considerable service to the others . AH three Institutions , viz , tho UNITY ; FIRE , the UNITY GENERAL , snd tile UNITY BANK , although perfectly separate as regards capital , liabilities , management , &o , will be conduoted in the same buildings , and thus , while they feed each othex with busi ness , so will they promote economy , power , and an extension of tlioir connexions . THE UNITY BANK . All tho necessary capital for" the UNI T Y BAN JC , amounting to £ ; i 0 i ) , 000 , lias boen subscribed for , whereof £ 150 000 Is paid up and invested . Nor lms tho capital atoolt been hurriedly allotted to parsons for speculative purposes .
