A*/'"A/ .-A.A/ History and Business—Company's organization was a manufacturer and seller of radio and radio phonograph combinations prior to May 31, 1942, when production of radios for civilian use was stopped by governmental order. Since that time, the company has engaged solely in the development and production of radio, radar and other electronic equipment for the Untied States Military Services,. The company's corporate predecessor, Continental Radio and Tele¬ vision Corp., of 111., was organized and began the sale of small table model radios in April of 1934, the sets being manufactured by Radio Products Corp., of 111. In Dec. of 1940 company, then known as Continental Radio and Television Corp., of Del., succeeded to the assets of the Illinois corporation of similar name. On Dec. 31, 1942, it acquired the manufacturing business and assets of Radio Products Corp. of Delaware, successor to the Illinois corporation of similar name, and on Nov. 13, 1943, it adopted its present name of Admiral Corporation. Shortly after V-E Day, the company of a totgl of approximately Net sales the balance to be delivered in 1946. > In the event of termination of a part or all of Government contracts and orders, the company's business will be adversely affected for a period. However, no major reconversion problem is anticipated in the radio field, except for delays incident to acquisition of necessary in¬ ventories, inasmuch as no substantial change in operations will be required. Except for minor surpluses, the company now has no inven¬ tory of parts or raw materials except that acquired in connection -with the company's existing Government commitments, only a small partion of which is usable in the company's civilian radio products. The company's post-war products will include radios, radio phono¬ graphs, and accessories, refrigerators, home freezers and electric 8,499,814 $1,654,450 $1,893,621 19,990 89,423 66,757 +$177,551 $1,743,873 $1,960,378 ...C— 28,591 680,454 637,821 conting.— 200,000 .A^,—_ A for $83,093 4$177,551 $834,828 $1,288,759 591,356 919,084 1,268,180 A $508,263 $768,907 $84,256 t$20,579 Nil $1.41 $2.03 1944 ' $3,301,502 1,167,821 $3,113,397 r._ $3,363,176 1,089,136 income— 475,682 268,047 214,808 356,341 18,455,342 6,152,073 2,252,893 18,295,541 7,511,661 13,401,447 4,059,651 2,402,532 1,660,672 profit ———A,-.-—,-: per share of capital stock —_.Ui Net oper, from Gross Net ry. —V. 162, , Authorized ($1 par)—.—. has p. income..* 129. 19,424,879 6,518,410 2,768,326 1,233,088 total year, it Lr~—1,000,000 shs. . , - Outstanding 900,000 shs.

The productive capacity of the equipment-making industry of our country will be heavily taxed in meeting the requirements of the 'program of our Government for the building of equipment for use abroad. While it is expected that your company will get its fullshare of the business arising out of this Governmental program, your management is keenly alive to the needs of our own roads. With its numerous plants/ unexcelled facilities for production, your company is in excellent condition to respond quickly and effectively to whatever demand may be made upon it to supply such needs/ As to reconversion, Mr. Hardy says that the problem will be less serious than to many concerns whose activities during the past few years have been given over entirely to war work. In common with practically all other American concerns engaged in war work, the company has had some, additional cutbacks, some repricings, some terminations and some extensions of scheduled de¬ liveries. Since October, 1939, when the company was awarded the "pioneer" tank contract, down to April 30. 1945, the company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries have booked war work orders of more than $1,000,000,000. // Mr. Hardy again points to the fact, as he did in the April 30, 1944 report, that the company has no fixed debt, no bank or other loans outstanding, and that -with resources ample to meet all of its obli¬ gations, present or prospective, "the strong, healthy and liquid con¬ dition of your company continues unimpaired, and there is no reason to fear any change in that record." . .. /: •/.......

It is presently engaged in the manufacture of five main classes of castings and machined parts, as follows: (X) Gun iron castings and machined parts for wear-resisting parts of steam locomotives, (2) Bronze and combination bronze and iron machined packing rings for use , on steam locomotives, (3) Gun iron castings' and machined parts for use in stationary and marine diesef engines, (4) Steel castings and machined parts for general marine and industrial use and also steel pistons and parts for railroad locomotives, and (5) Automotive brake drums. Hunt-Spiller's peacetime production has continued down through the war period Hunt-Spiller has no conversion problems. It has produced no war products as , such. However, in 1942 22.05% of its sales, in 1943 29.23% of its sales and in 1944 25.37% of its sales may be viewed as indirect war production. The products of HuntSpiller are now sold approximately' 75% to the railroads and 25% to customers in the marine and industrial fields and there has been no material variation In these percentages beginning with the year 1939. Hunt-Spiller's business is not done on contract.
