TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
OF UNITED STATES RADIUM CORPORATION
The operations of our Company for the year 1940 resulted in a profit of
$84,682.71. During the year the remainder of the dividends on the Preferred Stock
which had accrued up to the first of the year amounting to $15,382.50 were paid
off in full. Current dividends on the Preferred Stock for the year were also paid
in the amount of $6,153.00. With the deduction of these amounts from the year's
earnings, there remained $63,147.21 available for expansion of the production facili-
ties of the Company and dividends on the Common Stock.
There was a substantial increase in the volume of business during the year which
required considerable additions to the manufacturing plant and equipment. The
necessary expenditures for these additions were made, and in December a dividend
of $1.00 per share was paid to the Common Stockholders.
Toward the end of the year it was apparent that a further increase in the volume
of business of the Company was in prospect and arrangements were therefore made
for moving the Weksler Thermometer Corporation to other quarters so as to make
the space which it used available for further expansion of the business of the Company.
The Weksler Thermometer Corporation has now been moved to larger and more
suitable quarters at 52 West Houston Street and the space formerly used by it
at
535 Pearl Street is now being equipped for further extension of radium work.
The operations of the Weksler Thermometer Corporation during the year were
in a somewhat increased volume and resulted in a profit of $7,633.24 after provision
for taxes and adjustments.
The financial condition of the Company is shown by the attached Balance Sheet
which has been audited by Certified Public Accountants.
Very truly yours,
CLARENCE B. LEE,
President.
April 3, 1941.
