H. H. Fish. Esq.. President of the Company, summarizes from his letter to us as follows: BUSINESS Western Newspaper Union, successor to a company of tne same name and a business founded in 1865, serves more than 10,000 daily and weekly country newspapers, maintaining fully equipped plants in 36 key cities of the United States from California to Massachusetts. The Company supplies these newspapers with ready printed inside pages or with columns of prepared plate, containing various feature stories, serials and special articles selected by the ' newspaper publishers; places national advertising in their papers and prepares cuts and cony for local advertising campaigns. The Company also does a large volume of commercial printing, prints in their entirety various magazines and trade journals and is responsible for the mechanical production of many of the feature services of The Associated Press. FINANCIAL During the past 20 years net profits of Western Newspaper Union, after all charges including includ-ing depreciation, but before Federal taxes, averaged more than $680,000 annually, and in no single year were such net profits less than $450,000. Net profits after depreciation, but before Federal taxes, for the past 4 years, as certified by Messrs. Arthur Andersen 6? Co., after eliminating operations of the paper mill, which is being sold coincident with this financing and after other adjustments arising from the reorganization as stated in their certificate, were as follows: 1925 741,336 1926 955,383 . . ,' 1927 571,249 1928 765,825 Such net profits as above have averted about $758,448 annually, and for the year ended j December 31, 1928, amounted to $765,82), equivalent to more than 3 times the annual Debenture interest requirement. After deducting from such net profits in 1928 Debenture intcrc-t requirements, Federal Taxes (parent company) at 12 and Preferred Stock dividends, the balance amounted to over $352,000, or about $2.35 per share on the 150,000 shares of Common Stock to be presently outstanding. The net assets of the Company, available for these Debentures, based on the balance f,1.r--t ' as at April 30, 1929, adjusted to give effect to the present financing, includin" the sale" of the paper mill, were in exces3 of $3,500,000.
