The figures shown for capital employed above are the net assets at the end of each accounting year and represent the accumulated surpluses of the Racing Board and its predecessor, the Board of Control for Mechanical Betting, since the formation of the latter in 1930.
*** In the case of the Racing Board there is no yield in the commercial sense on capital employed. Similarly the Board's accounts record no profit or loss in the commercial sense. The Board's income is applied to administration expenses and grants for the benefit of horse racing. The accounts record a loss of £23,000 in 1968 and surpluses (accumulated) of £42,000 and £71,000 in 1969 and 1970 respectively.
