The year 1973 was another successful and profitable year for the Association. Unassigned funds increased by $273,034 and reached a high of $3,645,966. The gain from operations in 1973 were again higher than average for the sixth straight year, amounting to $206,894, after the payment of dividends of $163,597. The officers are to be congratulated on the successful operations of the Association during 1973. The assets continued to climb, reaching to a new high of $34,773,377 on December 31, 1973. This represents an increase of $507,253 over the assets of December 31, 1972. The solvency ratio on December 31, 1973, was at the desirable level of 111.71%. This means that the Association held $111.71 of admissable assets behind each $100 of liabilities as a safeguard and guarantee to all members that the benefits promised in the certificates will be paid Item Death Claims______ Matured Endowments Surrender Benefits Payments on A&H Certificates Disability Benefits Supplementary contracts and Refund Accumulations Dividends__________ Total when due. This represents an increase from the corresponding figure of $110.92 as of December 31, 1972. The Association again enjoyed a favorable year from investments. The net rate of return during 1973 on mean assets was 4.67% representing continuing gains over the prior rates of return. During 1973, the Association earned investment income of $1,573,252 after deducting all investment expenses. The amount earned exceeded that required to be earned to maintain interest bearing liabilities by $746,619 which reflects excellent gains over the 1972 and 1971 excess earnings of $680,244 and $652,578 respectively. Notwithstanding the excellent investment returns, it is worth noting that the Association has set aside the sum of $652,840 in the past 20 years into the Mandatory Security Valuation Reserve to guard against fluctuation in investments. During 1973, new life certificates were issued for $8,643,653 of insurance. Total insurance in force amounts to $105,738,614 at the end of the year on 68,004 certificates. In addition, the Association has issued, and has outstanding, several thousand Sick Benefit, Accident and Health and Hospitalization certificates. The Association has set aside $27,225,253 of life reserves, and $484,452 of A&H reserves for the payment of future claims, which amounts are in addition to the amounts set aside for claims currently in process. Management continues its prudent and conservative practice of setting aside sufficient funds with which to meet all known and contingent liabilities. The most important index of services to members is the total amount paid to members. During 1973, the Association paid the significant amount of $2,337,266. A summary of these payments to members is as follows: WILLIAM PENN ASSOCIATION LEDGER ASSETS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1973 Bonds..............................$29,993,647.37 Stocks...................................1,100,006.09 Mortgages............................1,069,190.71 Real estate ..........................1,328,150.89 Policy loans and liens...........907,063.82 Cash and bank deposits.........206,487.73 All other assets ......................338,612.05 Total ledger assets ..$34,943,158.66 Less: Liabilities................27,694.62 NET LEDGER ASSETS. $34,915,464.04 In the opinion of the actuaries, the reserves and other amounts set aside for payment of future claims and future premiums will be sufficient to meet all future obligations as they arise without reduction or abatement.
