^{page 98 note *} The amount of the Retrospective additions on the 1st of January next, will be £843,439, of which £734,598 is now to be added. Value £503,330. Amount of Prospective additions would be £86,528 per annum on the £4,326,434, but will necessarily increase as fresh amounts (about £300,000) are added yearly by annual admissions of new Assurances to keep up the constant number of 5000. The sum paid in Prospective additions in the last ten years has been £400,000, which has been a charge on the growing profits,and together with £70,000 paid for the income-tax, has equalled nearly the income derived from the reserve of 1839, taking the 3 per cents. at 90. On a moderate estimate a quarter of a million will be paid for Prospective additions on claims arising out of the Assurances of these new Members in the course of the next 10 years.
