January 27.1864
In tile usual course of ei enls. this letter from the Chairman and the Preside.".! would start by giving Sales ami Earn ings as reported, compared to l'J(>2 as reported.
Normally we would ask you to ex amine these figures:

But for reasons we shall state, we feel the following figure.' ar-- far more meaningful:

operating profit and a substantial cap-

.''inn* a substantial portion of our investment overseas is in companies printing in South America, sonic comments on conditions there appear appropriate. Because it is important not to generalize about the conditions, which vary markedly from country to l oiintrv. we comment separately on the three countries where we are most .ii tir e--Argentina. Brazil and Chile.
The economy of Argentina is regaining momentum after the recession that followed President Fronaizi's re moval from office. Following the -niuoth election, the administration if President Arturo lilfa is formulat ing its program. This appears to con tain hopeful portents in the general industrial and economic fields, in con-
j.-l to tin- unfortunate actions on the ed I'l.ntract---an area which has lone been a dhilcuit political issue. Our perations in Argentina are both prof itable and expanding.

A long-range program of rearrange ment and modernization of our facili ties was completed in 1063. This proaram was accelerated during the year and plans previously scheduled for future years were telescoped into 1063. While the expenditures under taken in connection with this program o-rved to penalize our 1963 results, tlie Division enters 1964 with an aptitvi-iahiv lower controllable cost situ ation. Specific steps taken during 1963 to streamline our operations, to the maximum extent consistent with sales iv-luirements. were:

plastics activities
The market for plastics continued to expand in 1963. and we were able to obtain our share of the overall indus try gain.
Price pressures in a number of our product areas continued through the vear. In the last two months, though, we have seen some indication of a reversal in this trend, and higher prices have recently been posted for some polyethylene lines.
The Sinclair-Koppers styrene mon omer plant at Houston. Texas--oper ated jointly by Koppers and Sinclair Oil Corporation--continued to run at close to it# designed capacity, and plans have b-en made to increase the capacitv of thi# unit should increased demand warrant.
In the Spring of 1963. we completed an expansion of our styrene-butadiene latex plant at Kobuta. Pa., more than doubling our former capacity. These latice.- are used primarily in paper eoatina#. paints and ruu hackings.
We are currentiv completing an other expansion at Kobuta. Pa.--the
eighth in 1" v-ar---m our i-.in.i-itv to produce the versatile foam plastic. Dyute expandable polystyrene. Even as this latest expansion was underway, we further enlarged our plans and stepped up the increase in Dylite capacity to a level 40 per cent higher than at the beginning of 1963.
Dylite sales continue to grow at a significantly high rate, as new applica tions expand its use in the packaging and construction fields, in the molding of hot drink cups, and in novelties a no toys. Dylite markets have expe rienced an average annual growth rate "f 3,3 per cent over the past three years.
Our low density polyethylene plant at Port Arthur. Texas, was expanded curing tlte year. This expansion gives us about a 15 per cent increase in total plant capacity. Preliminary plans are currently underway to further increase our polyethylene capacity by boosting tne throughput of other production lines at Port Arthur.
Production of rigid, high density polyethylene at Port Reading. New Jersey was nearly doubled during 1963. Capacity at this plant has been increased greatly through adjust ments in our operating methods, and (.'trough "do-bottlenecking" measures -t-stsmed to realize the maximum out;.-.:t from our existing equipment.

5 years on the riverno maintenance on Holset couplings
When the Eastern and its sister ship, the Western, were built for the Umov ButcE Live in 1956. the couplings linking each ship's two engines to the gear boxes required lubrication and maintenance every few months, which resulted in considerable downtime. In !'og. they were replaced with Holset resilient couplings. The new couplings have been on the go for five years now. with no lubrication, and no mair.i-iiance. Because of this exceptional record. UBL again selected Holset couplings when they made replace ments on a similar boat last year.
Koppers produces Holset and FvfT's couplings for virtually ail ap plications where mechanical power must he transmitted from a driving to .1 driven shaft.

All of the steel piping and the hun dreds of steel tanks--for fuel, water and sewage -- buried deep under ground at the Minuteman missile sites near Minot. X.D.. are protected from corrosion with coal tar coatings.
The exteriors of the large pipes and tanks were sandblasted, and coating began. Biti/Mastic* Jet Set Primer was applied, followed by a double coat of Bitumastic 70-B Enamel.
Coal tar coatings were specified for permanent corrosion protection in these vital installations because the molecular structure <>t coal tar doesn't deteriorate ir; the presence of water.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Koppers Company, Inc.
We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Koppers Company. Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 1963 and the related consolidated statement of income and earnings retained in the business for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the statements mentioned above present fairly the consolidated financial position of Koppers Company, Inc. and con solidated subsidiaries at December 31, 1963 and the consolidated results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
