These had not been developed at the time of expropriation, and therefore were not included in the deal.

The adjusted quarterly profit figure of $665,739 is therefore presented for purposes of comparison. Sales and rental income for the quarter ended Mar. 31, 1942, were minable over the corresponding period a year earlier. Federal tax provisions for 1942 (normal taxi surtax and excess profits tax) have been based on the best available information con¬ cerning the rates likely to be effective when the 1942 Revenue Act is passed. The reserve for possible future decline in market value of inven¬ tories, as indicated above, was increased by $200,000 in the first - quarter of 1942, and now amounts to $1,000,000.—V. 155, p. 1601.
