As about as an investor in the company, to the Application filed Feb. 22 last with the SEC for permission to use $15,000,000 in the further purchase of the company's preferred stocks. Based on current market prices, the expenditure of this sum would permit the retirement of about $25,000,000 of preferred stocks and effect a saving of about $1,450,000 in annual dividend requirements. How important this is to the company's financial position and to you as an investor becomes obvious when you note in the accompanying financial statements that, due largely to increased taxes and reduced total income, preferred dividends in direct 1942 earned by $2,085,000. items in this report are taxes and recent develop¬ nature and their apparent trend. These, in important of regulatory a greatest significance. The safety of your capital and the prospect of earnings are today dependent upon the impact of regulation to a greater degree than ever before. \ opinion, our the of are Preferred Stock—An appli¬ cation was filed by the company with the SEC on Feb. 22 last for permission to use $15,000,000 in the purchase of its preferred stocks in the open market. If granted, it would enable the company to become a purchaser of such stock as might be offered for sale from time to time. So far this year, over 86,000 shares have been bought and sold on the New York Curb Exchange. Would • On to Use previous spend the occasions More asked the SEC to authorize it such purchase of preferred stocks company of $10,000,000 for total a Retire to $15,000,000 permission to use $7,000,000 of the amount requested. $15,000,000 now sought includes this $3,000,000 over which the The reserved SEC jurisdiction. $7,000,000 heretofore allowed by the SEC, the company lias retired $12,673,000 of preferred stocks, effecting a saving in dividend requirements amounting to $730,000 per year. Total income for 1942 decreased $2,160,000 from the preceding With the hand, increased by over $1,674,000, and largely as a result of these two factors, net income is off $3,912,000. Preferred dividends have not been earned by $2,085,000, and this amount would have been greater had it not been for the savings Taxes, year. effected of $12,673,000 of preferred stock. On Dec. 31, 1942, the company had cash and cash items aggre¬ gating $25,204,000, which were represented by $18,850,000 in cash in banks and $6,354,000 in the form of short-term securities. As the cash produces no revenue for the company, we believe that such portion of it not needed in the business should be put to work in effecting savings in preferred dividend requirements, through the purchase of preferred stock. Based on current market prices, the expenditure of $15,000,000 for the purchase of the company's preferred stocks in the open market, ■would permit the retirement of an estimated additional $25,000,000 of preferred stock and thereby save about $1,450,000 in annual dividend requirements. We believe that this proposal represents sound busi¬ ness practice and is strongly in the interests of stockholders. Thus, if SEC approves this application, a most important step will have been taken toward solving the problem of preferred stock dividends. through retirement Earnings—Gross income for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 1942, was $9,108,747, which is $2,160,879, or 19% less than for the correspond¬ The major ing period of the previous year. failure & receive to dividends the on that & for this decline reason of stock common National Electric extra reason The item Co. declined of due other Inc. preferred $6 the reduction in the dividend United Gas on of elimination $1.60 rate dividend rate of income Corp. its $7 American the and of the paid on its & $3.50 Foreign per United stock. from increased.

The ability of the System companies to do this record job is im¬ portantly due to the long-range planning which has always been a fundamental System policy.
