The sales figure was virtually unaffected by the inflationary trend
)f the
times, D. W. Figgis, President, observed, since the company's
prices on metal containers were frozen throughout the year by OPA
:eilings and by term contracts.
The gain of 6.5% over 1945, he said,
represented an actual increase in units of production and sales.
Earnings, while exceeding ~ mid-year estimates by a considerable

The company's capital expenditures for 1946

amounted to $24,584,528,

This increase, Mr. Figgis said,',
reflected
substantial
progress—as
a
result of the improvement in
availability of materials for building and machinery—in important
replacements and expansion of equipment and facilities which had
not been possible
during the war years. "
It is planned to

company ended the year 1946 with the lowest inventory in six years,
amounting to $51,882,440, compared with $56,742,716 in 1945.
"Demands for production during the coming year will delay the
replenishing of inventory," stockholders were told, "but, as it becomes
possible to bring
the inventories to more normal proportions,

bert Eisentwt, President, on March
said
*
Operations throughout 1940 were affected by the problems of recon¬
to a greater degree than in the case of most other industrial
concerns.
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,. ITotal. unfilled orders increased apt
proximately 50% in 1946.

These "pro forma" statements and
figures exclude, for the entire
periods covered, the operations of
companies which have been divested
and give effect to
the refinancing which has been
completed.
Onlv
on this
"pro forma" basis can information
concerning past periods
be given
which is in any sense applicable to the
present Systemhowever it must be remembered that the
present System did not exist
as such in these
past periods and the pro forma
figures are of necessity
lestated figures, adjusted to
project a present situation into the past.
The indenture securing the
corporation's.new debentures requires
*jCv?rp?
biake regular annual payments for the retirement
of debentures,
ranging from $2,000,000 in the years 1947
through 1949
up to $3,700 000 in 1970.
Although payments 4o retire debt are not
strictly speaking, charges against income,
they must be taken into
account in any realistic view of
the balance of
earnings which the
corporation will have available for common
stock dividends.

At the last annual stockholders' meeting, the proposal to accept tne

Such exchange is reflected m

highest in the history of
the company.
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

When
full production is reached, the company's carpet yarn capacity will not

completed between the Twin Lakes com¬
pany and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation with reference to
the refunding of
that company's bonded indebtedness.
The former
indebtedness of $2,200,000 has been retired by the issuance of $1,500,000
of 4% refunding bonds, dated Nov. 1, 1945, which are amortized over
a period of 40 years.
The remaining $700,000 of the original indebted¬
ness is represented by an issue
of special stock of 35.000 shares of a.
par value of $20 per share, all of which is, hold by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The special stock bears no interest and pays
no dividends,
and, when the present issue of bonds of $1,500,000 has
been retired, the Twin Lakes company agrees to take up the special
stock by the issuance of 4% bonds, payable over a period of 25 years..
The practical effect of this arrangement is that the Twin Lakes com¬
pany saves $28,000 a year in interest.

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

Niagara Hudson companies expect to spend about $20,000,000 for
construction, extensions and improvements in 1947. Major construc¬
tion
projects are new units at the Charles R. Huntley and Oswego
steam-electric generating plants, which will add a total of, 160,000
Kilowatts to the
System's power resources, They are expected to be
lel*dy for operation in the Fall of 1948.
«.
Reviewing the System's progress in corporate simplification, Mr.
Machold stated that Niagara Hudson had filed a plan with the Public
service Commission of New York to consolidate
the three principal
operating companies, Buffalo Niagara Electric Corp., Central New York
flower Corp. and New York Power and Light Corp.

important step is believed to be in the best interests of the corpora¬
