The company claims as a deduction for income tax purposes the intangible costs of drilling wells and computes depletion on a statutory per¬ centage basis. It is impractical to estimate these deductions and the income tax liability before the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 194$. In November, 1945, the company made a bank loan in the amount of $4,300,000 bearing interest at 2% per annum, repayable in install¬ ments aggregating $361,200 on May l and Nov. 1 of each year beginning.on May l, 1948 to May l, 1953, with a final payment of $326,800 on Nov. 1, 1953. Under the terms of the loan the company has the right to prepay all or part of the indebtedness before maturity-, without premium, upon 30 days' perior written notice, and it has agreed that it will not without prior written consent thereto allow its consolidated earned surplus to fall below $4,500,000. With the proceeds the pre-existing bank loan in the principal sum of $3,300,000 was retired and $1,000,000 was added to current working funds for development of properties and other corporate purposes.i ~ 9,211 3,155,203 from Gross «.v-Dec. 31, '45 June 30, '45 Dec. 31, '44 7 ■ .
