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.
