The report emphasized that Sun Oil Co. was in stronger financial
condition on Dec. 31, 1954, than a year earlier.
"Long term debt was reduced, the Federal income tax liability was
almost wholly funded, and the liquid position of the company was
improved during the year."
Expenditures for expansion and
modernization of facilities, and
exploration for new sources of oil in 1954 totaled $93,700,000. Of that
sum, $29,600,000 was spent as intangible development, costs to increase
the
company's production
and underground
reserves
of crude oil
and natural
gas.
The balance of $64,100,000 was used for capital
expenditures for plants, equipment and facilities.
Messrs.
Pew
and Dunlop
stated in the report that in 1955 Sun
plans capital investments at a level above those of 1954.
During the year, total .cash dividends of $8,073,335 were paid to
stockholders.
Common
stockholders'
