cumulative preferred stock (par $1C0) and $90,000
first mortgage 314% bonds; the stock and bonds to be sold at 98 and
accrued dividends and interest, respectively, and the proceeds applied
to the
redemption of outstanding preferred stock and the purchase
and redemption of outstanding bonds.
The report of the Commission states in part;
The
preferred stock and bonds have been sold to Kirchofer &
Arnold, of Raleigh, N. C„ the former at 98 and accrued dividends
and the latter at 98 and accrued interest as of the date of delivery.
The average annual cost to
the applicant of the proceeds from the
bonds will be approximately 3.42%.
By the proposed refinancing the applicant will effect a reduction of
$1,081.25 annually in dividends on the preferred stock and $1,125 in
interest on its bonds outstanding as of the present time.
This reduc¬
tion in interest does not take into consideration, however, the reduction
of the amount of bonds to be outstanding through serial payments, or
the
retirement of any
of the proposed bonds through the sinkingICC

explained that the contemplated acquisition marks another
in
a
comprehensive prog-lam of plant decentralization
"deemed necessary to permit the company to meet its announced post¬
war objectives of high
employment, efficiency, and volume in each of
its factories."
Last ifall the company announced the purchase of a
plant in Effingham, 111., for electric and gas range output, and the
intention to streamline each of its plants for single-purpose, straightline production.

Com¬
pany is advised that Thomas Matchett, whose resignation as President
of
Robins
became
effective
in April,
1945,
had subsequently sold
12,500 shares of Robins stock (to be exchangeable for 20,000 shares of
Hewitt stock pursuant to the exchange offer); and that such shares
were sold, by private sale, for investment to persons who were already
holders of stock of Hewitt or Robins or both companies.
'
The
management of Hewitt believes that control of Robins by
Hewitt through acquisition of at least 80%
of the stock of Robins is
desirable both practically and, financially, and accordingly the board
of directors of Hewitt adopted on April 24, 1945, a plan of reorganiza¬
tion looking towards such an acquisition.

Payment will be made

Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co., 231 So. La Salle St.,

refinancing is estimated by the applicant to result in a

April 1, 1970, inclusive.
This amount is
computed as follows: Interest from Aug. 1, 1945, to April 1, 1970 (24
years and 8 months) on $57,130,000 of series C bonds,
$49,470,250,

bonds from June 1, 1945, to April 1, 1970, after allowing for annual
sinking fund retirements as well as premiums at scheduled redemption
prices, $37,843,925,
indicating an interest reduction of $11,626,325,
from which should be deducted the expenses of $2,349,763,
leaving a
aet saving
of $9,276,562.
The applicant has included in its interest
computations the interest on the $663,000 of bonds held and to be
held in its treasuryIf the interest on such bonds is excluded from
tfcc computations the net saving would be approximately $9,157,222.
The applicant expects to benefit through deductions for income
tax
purposes to the extent of approximately $2,800,000.
The
net
working cash balances of the applicant as of March 31,
1945, after allowing for outstanding and unpaid vouchers, pay drafts,
dividend
and
interest checks,
etc.,
was
$40,500,000.
After certain
deductions amounting to $5,900,000 are made, a free balance of $34,bdO.OOO remains for cash requirements accrued prior to March 31, and
to
permit of compensating balances to depository banks,
which to¬
gether total $44,000,000.
In addition to the working cash balance
indicated above, the applicant had liquid assets amounting to $149,434,000.
It is considered desirable to maintain and augment these
funds
to
enable
the applicant
to meet the uncertainties
and con¬
tingencies that may arise in the near future, particularly during the
post-war reconversion period.
The total 1945 taxes payable, regardless
©/ earnings, will approximate $130,000,000, the greater portion of which
is
based
on
1944
earnings and the applicant believes., it mu&t«d!we
