During the year the company continued the policy of outside ex¬

interested in the, possibilities of the property of Derlak Red Lake Gold
Mines, Ltd., which is located in the Red Lake mining district, and
adjoins the Madsen Red Lake Gold Mines, Ltd., to the northeast.
Options were taken on the treasury stock of that company; 500,000
shares were purchased at 5 cents per. share and favorable options
secured on 1,349,995 shares
(the balance of the treasury stock), out
of

Working capital at Oct. 31, 1943, was $31,451,500, as compared with
$29,019,488 at Oct. 31. 1942, and $26,904,075 at Oct. 31, 1941.
This
represents an .increase in working capital of $4,547,425 during the twoyear
period.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
Oct. 31, 1943, was 2.67 to 1, compared with 2.58 to 1 at the close of
1942, and 3.24 to 1 at the close of 1941.
The principal changes in
working capital during the year ended Oct. 31, 1943, were an advance
in
inventories of $5,319,189 and a decline in cash of $2,030,135 and
notes payable" of $1,123,000.

The provision for taxes of $193,000,000 shown in the annual report is
reduced by the $68,432,511 to $124,567,489.
This "renegotiation" has
the further effect on the results shown in the 1942 annual report in
that the estimated amount of company's post-war tax refund for the
year of $17,000,000 is reduced by• $6,843,251 to $10,156,749.
The final;,
result is a reduction of company's reserve for post-war adjustments

Subsequently, N. Meade Alcorn, Jr., State's Attorney for
County,
in behalf of certain stockholders, applied to the Supreme
Court of Hertford County, to mandamus the company to submit the
"list" or show cause why this should not be done.
Before the date
set for .the hearing, several parties concerned met and it was decided,
that subject to the approval of the board of directors of Northeastern,
certain information would be submitted to the Babson group, making
it unnecessary to submit the stockholders' list, thus postponing court
action.
The directors, however, did not meet prior to the date for
submission of the sought for information and
this agreement was
called off.

of this character were placed in 1943, consisting of $90,000,000 Government of the Dominion of Canada bonds
and $18,000,000 Canadian
