During the year ended April 10, 1942, there was a net increase of
$54,650,000 in the aggregate principal amount of short-term loan^
payable to banks.
The funds obtained from such increase in bank
loans were added to the general funds of the company as additional

Such additional working capital was required prin¬

'five of the subsidiaries and N. H. Gellert, its president, says he hopes
to dispose of the others within a year or two.

from May 1 next with a proviso for an additional year's extension of
liquidation of the company is not completed within one year.
Thomas Reath, counsel for the company, told Judge Kirkpatrick that
upwards of $1,000,000. in cash will be available within two weeks from
the sale of some of the subsidiaries and will be used to pay bondholders
about 60% of their holdings.

siderably above the 1941 rate, based on tax reserves at the corporate
and excess", profits rates now prevailing, R. K. Ferguson, Presi¬
dent, said at the annual meeting of stockholders.
However, in all
probability, increased tax reserves will be required when the Revenue
Act of 1942 is finally enacted, Mr. Ferguson said.
During-the first quarter this year the company made a payment of
$500,000 on its bank loan, which leaves the term loan standing at
$1,900,000 as of March 31, 1942
'!.
The company is now manufacturing for the war program munitions
and plane parts, Diesel engines and cartridge machines, Mr. Ferguson
said.
In its plastic divisions War production also involves many air¬
plane parts.

($98,250,000 before deducting expenses estimated at $342,400), plus accrued interest, from the sale of the
other funds of the Company to the extent necessary, are to be applied to the payment of $28,977,000
of funded debt and $75,500,000 of short term notes payable to banks (i.e. the entire outstanding funded debt and bank loans
of the Company as of April
10, 1942, except for $926,900 of non-callable bonds), thus positioning the Company for purchases of its
requirements of leaf tobacco.
The Company intends to pay from other funds its expenses of sale of the Debentures and the accrued
interest on its obligations to be paid off as above stated.
During the year ended April 10, 1942, there was a net increase of $54,650,000
in short term bank loans of the Company, the additional working capital derived therefrom being required principally by the increase both
in dollar amount and quantity in inventories of the Company and its subsidiaries, occasioned by higher prices being paid for tobacco and
the increasing volume of business.
The Company may borrow additional amounts from time to time as occasion arises.
