Assets Realization Corp.—To Dissolve— : The trustees, as holders of all the issued stock of the corporation, recently applied to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, which has, after hearing, held that the trustees are authorized/ pur¬ suant to the trust agreement, to vote for the dissolution of the cor¬ poration., This has been done and the directors proposed forthwith to bring a proceeding under Section 106 of the Stock Corporation Law for the dissolution and winding np of the corporation and its affairs under the provisions of such statute, ••••"■/' . Distribution has been made for the extent of 54'% of certificates. approximately 20 years and, other than cash on hand, the board of directors knows of no source of recoveries; or of assets except the unpaid balance of the Mixed Claims Commission award, it is officially announced. A plan of complete liquidation has been prepared and adopted by the trustees, as stockholders. The New York Trust Co., 100 Broadway, New York, N. Y., is agent in liquidation. The corporation further announced as follows: "It is impossible at this time to state the amount of any final distribution to be made upon the outstanding participation certificates as a result of these dissolution proceedings. It is estimated, however, that such distribu¬ tion as may be made, if any, will probably be between 1% and 3ft> of the original ■■principal amount of the outstanding participation cer¬ tificates, without making any allowance for any further recovery on the unpaid balance on the Mixed Claims Commission award. "The value of the unpaid pprtion of the Mixed Claims Commission award is highly problematical. While certain funds are held in the Treasury for payment of German and American awards, none of these funds could be made available for any further payment on the corporation's award without new legislation. In the dissolution pro¬ ceedings it is proposed to .submit to the Court the question as to the face or provided of the B and C participation amount This liquidating corporation has been in operation for whether cash the to as claim seek the to to sell trustee this; claim at highest bidder offers The Chase as ; cents , $628,849 revenues income Income in Total 1944, 20,434,616 1,955,760 2,196,758 — . 2,922,047 25,007,252 13,061.873 income..—... other contingencies pfd. stock (par $10) (par $1)— $8,581,955 Fed¬ —. convertible cumulative Capital than ;7—... taxes ______ the company served 1,452 wholesale accounts, against 1,503 a year earlier.
