Nov. 162, declared, payable also was Dec. 1 to holders of 1889. p. . of earnings for interim periods should not be made without giving consideration to differ¬ ences in methods of accounting and tax computations. ; In the year 1944 earnings did not enter excess profits brackets until the month of April and, consequently, were made subject to the higher rates from April through Sept, and full excess profits credits used in the nine months' report. For the year 1945, however, with the expectation that total earnings would be subject to the higher rates, both normal and excess profits taxes have, been computed on a monthly pro rata basis from the beginning of the year, The effect of this computation is to spread the excess profits base credits oyer the entire year, thus helping to equalize monthly profits or to cushion monthly operating losses. „1 Y 1 The precipitate decline in volume of production resulting from the cancellation of practically all war contracts caused an operating loss for the third quarter, yet for the reasons just stated a comparison of the earnings reported at the end of the second and third quarters would indicate a profit for the latter period. Another influence on earnings comparisons is the fact that a year ago the sum of $250,000 was set aside as an addition to the company's reserve for contingencies./ No similar charge has been made against earnings for the current year. The third influence on these comparisons is the deduction of $126,000 from earnings to cover the estimated pro rata contribution which, the company will make to the profit-sharing plan and trust agreement for the year 1945. Since the plan was not adopted until the letter months of 1944, no similar charge was made against earnings until the final quarter of that year. , *< ; If earnings for the nine months of 1944 had been computed on the same basis as employed this year they would have been $468,568 instead of $309,243 as reported and as compared with current earnings of $318,493 now reported. ■ ' ''/■'■/> The - dend of 60 cents per share on .the common stock, , Richard N.
