Screen Gems net income sets half-year record Screen Gems Inc., New York, announced last week that its net income for the first half of the current fiscal year, ended last Dec. 31, amounted to a record-breaking $1,372,327, equal to 54 cents a share, as compared with $972,592 or 38 cents a share for the previous corresponding period. Jerome Hyams, vice president and general manager of Screen Gems, reported that in fiscal 1960, the company's net income amounted to $2,665,371. He added that traditionally the third and fourth quarters of the year account for more than half of the annual earnings, presaging another banner year for SG in fiscal 1961. SG's increase in net income during the current period was accomplished despite a dip in gross income from $23,512,281 for the six months ended Dec. 31, 1960, to $22,803,213 for the period ended last December. The rise in net income, a company spokesman said, is attributable to "a more efficient and therefore more profitable method of operation in all areas of the company." Film sales...
