Neverthelss, over 90% of its output during such period consisted of instruments of the type normally manufactured by it. Consequently, the company has not; been faced with a reconversion problem. As an indication of the extent of the company's sales during the war years for direct or indirect war purposes, the following percentages of its total sales were renegotiated by the appropriate governmental agency for the fiscal years ended July 31: 1942—72.88%; 1943—63.02%; 1944—62.69%. It is expected that approximately 67% of the company's total sales for the yeas ended July 31, 1945, will be subject, to renegotiation. ^ V On Jan. 22, 1946, the company had unfilled orders in connection with war contracts aggregating approximately $57,000.
