This is due primarily to the complexity of the company s manufacturing operations, the variety of its products and fact that the increase in its annual volume of sales from a prewar level of approximately $18,000,000 to a peak of over $60,000,000 during the war was accounted for • chiefly by highly specialized types of military optical equipment for which there is no continuing requirement. Over ■'70%* of tne products qaanufaciured by the parent company from 1941. through 1945 was for performance bf war'-contracts. Yv Consolidated sales for 1946 amounted to $37,885,812, as against $53,643,196 in 1945 when- over 50% of total sales represented govern,ment contract business. Less than $2,500,000 of sales were made to the government in 1346. In addition, the 1945 accounts included approx¬ imately $3,350,000 of sales by The White-Haines Optical Co., in whicn a majority stock interest then owned was disposed of at the beginning of 1946. Accordingly, the 1946 accounts actually reflect a substantial increase in production and sale of normal peacetime products. Althougn export sales increased, the continued heavy backlog-of domestic orders has so far made it impossible to meet the unprecedented postwar .foreign -demand for our products,.

Even after making allowances for increased prices in the last quarter due to elimination of OPA ceilings, and for the sale of some egg-packing material in December, which would normally have moved in the first quarter of 1947, the fact remains that the tonnage sold in 1946 was the largest on record. The plant was operated to capacity during the year except as extraordinary repairs were necessary to compensate for the unusual strain on equipment during the war years. Wages and certain other costs will, of course, be somewhat higher in 1947. . The most important; development during the year 1946 was the decision to build a plant in the Chicago District. • A tract of about 35 .acres was acquired "in Hammond, Ind., located within the Chicago switching' limits .on the .Indiana Harbor Belt RR.

Machold, President, advised the stockholders in the annual report for 1946. After preferred dividend requirements this stock, compared with 60c BALANCE SHEET, was per equal to $1.42 per share on the common share in 1945. During 1946, Niagara Hudson reduced its bank loans from $40,000,000 $30,000,000. The funded debt of its subsidiary companies was by $9,639,000, bringing the total debt reduction of subsidiary companies to over $51,000,000 in the past three years. In the same three-year period, $155,951,000 of bonds of subsidiary companies were refunded at lower interest rates. This program has resulted in a reduction of 3,768,000 in the annual interest requirements of the subsidiary companies. The refinancing of the preierred stocks of Niagara Hudson subsidiary companies was completed in 1946. Due to very favorable market con¬ ditions at the time of refinancing, the preferred dividend rates of System subsidaries are among the lowest in the industry, Mr. Machold reduced expense and fund accounts-., - Notes AHEAD OF YEAR AGO those for a year ago. < which advanced and dividends Interest and Materials DEC. 6,650,949 debt Unamortized Retirement work Other working assets discount and expense in progress debits deferred — - Notes Accrued deposits Federal expenses.
