The properties of the aforesaid Companies are conservatively valued by The West India Sugar Finance Corporation at $12,445,747. Thus the bonds of The West India Sugar Finance Corpora tion now issued will be outstanding at only 40 of the conservative value of these properties. The West India Sugar Finance Corporation has an authorized and outstanding capital stock of $2,000,01)0, all paid in cash, and has since its incorporation in 1913 accumulated a surplus out of earnings of $1,995,667, thus showing an investment of approximately $4,000,000 behind the $5,000,000 Secured Sinking Fund Bonds. The management of the Company is iri the hands of interests closely identified with B. H. Howell Son & Co., which firm, or its predecessors, have been successfully engaged in the sugar business for about 60 years. EARNINGS The aggregate net earnings of the companies all of whose bonds are pledged, after all taxes, including Federal taxes, for the fiscal year 1918 amounted to $1,604,005, and for the fiscal year 1919, partly estimated, should be $3,295,574. These earnings for 1919 will be equivalent to approximately tix and one-half times the interest on the pledged bonds, and over 3f4 times the maximum annual interest and sinking fund requirements on the above $5,000,000'Secured Sink-, ing Fund Bonds. The earnings of The West India Sugar Finance Corporation for the year ended September 30, 1918, applicable to interest on these bonds amounted to $1,077,710, and it is estimated that for the year ending September 30, 19 19, they will amount to $1,215,244. The interest charge is $350,000 per year. The Sinking Fund requirements on the Secured Bonds are more than covered by the Sinking Fund operations on the pledged bonds., SINKING FUND - An annual sinking fund is provided for, which will retire all bonds now or hereafter issued within ten years. Thus, on the present issue, the annual sinking fund will retire $500,000 bonds per annum. PROVISIONS FOR THE PAYMENT OF TAXES The Company agrees to pay the normal Federal Income Tax up to 4 and to other taxes imposed on holders of these bonds in the States of Connecticut, Pennsylv and Maryland. SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGES A subscription warrant will accompany each bond entitling the holder thereof to subscribe his pro rata share of 40 of any new financing of other companies that may be undertaken by The West India Sugar Finance Corporation during the ten-year period, but only pn such terms and con ditions as the Board of Directors of the Company may prescribe by due resolution. Warrants to be registered and transferable only on the books of the Company. refund certain vania, Uelaware Pending the actual pledge of the collateral above-described Interim Receipts, will be Uaued by Guaranty Truat Com pany of New York exchangeable for bonds when ready for delivery.
