INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Bearings, Inc. 401-K Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Bearings, Inc. 401-K Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994 and reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information by fund
in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual
funds. The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BEARINGS, INC. 401-K SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Bearings, Inc. 401-K Savings Plan
(the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants and users of the financial statements should refer to the
Plan document for more complete information.
GENERAL - The Plan was established by Bearings, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") for the purpose of encouraging and
assisting employees to provide long-term, tax-deferred savings for
retirement. The Plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure
requirements, the minimum participation and vesting standards, and the
fiduciary responsibility requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.
ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by the Company. The
Company's powers and duties relate to making employee and employer
contributions to the Trustee, establishing investment objectives,
authorizing disbursements from the Trust, and resolving any questions
of Plan interpretation.
The assets of the Plan are maintained and administered by Society
National Bank acting as Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for the
custody of assets.
PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS - All employees are eligible to
participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following their
hire.
Eligible employees may elect to make Salary Savings Contributions to
the Plan ranging from 1% to 10% of compensation. The Company makes a
Matching Employer Contribution to the Plan equal to a percentage of
the Salary Savings Contributions not in excess of 6% of the
participant's compensation. Effective July 1, 1993, Matching Employer
Contributions are determined based upon the Company's earnings per
share for the immediately preceding calendar-year quarter and the
participants' investment elections. The Employer Matching
Contribution is updated annually and is currently determined using the
following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CORPORATE EARNINGS PER QUARTERLY MATCHING
SHARE FOR IMMEDIATELY CONTRIBUTION
PRECEDING QUARTER EMPLOYEE STOCK FUND OTHER FUNDS
<S> <C> <C>
$.43 or less 35% 25%
$.44 to $.48 45% 35%
$.49 to $.56 60% 50%
$.57 to $.66 85% 75%
$.67 and above 110% 100%
</TABLE>
<PAGE> 9
Prior to July 1, 1993, the matching percentage was fixed annually by
the Company. The employer match on participant contributions to other
funds was 35%, 35%, 100%, and 25% for the four 1994 quarters, and 25%,
25%, 75%, and 35% for the four 1993 quarters, respectively.
Matching Employer Contributions are made primarily in shares of
Bearings, Inc. common stock.
Contributions are excluded from participants' taxable income until
such amounts are received by them as a distribution from the Plan.
The Plan provides for Rollover Contributions (amounts previously
distributed to the participants from certain other tax-qualified
plans) and Transfer Contributions (assets transferred from certain
other tax-qualified plans) by or on behalf of an employee in
accordance with procedures established by the Company.
INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants elect investment of their
Salary Savings Contributions in 10% increments in the Plan's Fixed
Income Fund, American Fundamental Investors Fund, Fidelity Advisor
Growth Fund, American EuroPacific Growth Fund, Income Fund of America,
Bond Fund of America or the Employee Stock Fund. All Matching
Employer Contributions are invested in the Company Stock Fund.
Participants may elect to change their investment elections as to
future contributions and may also elect to reallocate a portion or all
of their account balances among the investment funds in increments of
10% of the total amount to be reallocated. All such elections are
filed with the Trustee and become effective daily.
The value of the Funds and the interest of individual participants
under each Fund, are calculated daily (Daily Valuation).
VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS - Each participant is immediately and fully
vested in all Salary Savings Contributions and earnings thereon.
Participants vest in Matching Employer Contributions at a rate of 25%
for each year of eligible service, becoming completely vested after
four years, or at death, termination of employment due to permanent
and total disability, or normal or early retirement as defined in the
Plan.
Participants may apply for hardship withdrawals from their
contributions, subject to adherence to Internal Revenue Service
regulations and approval by the Company. Participants may receive
lump sum distributions of their vested account balances no later than
60 days after the end of the Plan year in which they terminate
employment with the Company. Distributions upon retirement may be
received as a lump sum or as installments in accordance with the
participant's election.
Forfeitures of nonvested amounts are applied to reduce future Matching
Employer Contributions.
LOANS - The Plan does not currently allow participants to borrow from
the Plan; however, loans originating from merged plans (the King
Bearing Profit Sharing and Savings Plan and the IBT 401k Plan) are
reflected in the separate Employee Loan Fund in the Plan's financial
statements. These loans are to be repaid to the Plan in accordance
with their original terms. The loans are secured by the balance in
the participant's account and bear interest at rates prevailing at the
time the loans were made. Principal and interest are paid ratably
through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Investments in participant
loans are stated at estimated fair value based on amounts estimated to
be recoverable.
<PAGE> 10
PLAN TERMINATION - The Plan was adopted with the expectation that it
will continue indefinitely. The Company may, however, terminate the
Plan at any time and may amend the Plan from time to time. In the
event of termination of the Plan, all participants will immediately
become fully vested in the value of all Matching Employer
Contributions made on their behalf.
TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN - The Plan obtained its latest determination
letter dated May 24, 1989, in which the Internal Revenue Service
stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has
been amended since receiving this determination letter. The Company
believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in
the Plan's financial statements.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SEPARATE FUNDS
Effective April 1994, the Plan's investment options were changed to
provide seven separate investment funds. The Trustee maintains
separate accounts for each Plan participant and invests such
participant's contributions, as directed by the participant, in one or
more of the following funds:
- Employee Stock Fund consists of investments in the common
stock of Bearings, Inc. and temporary investments in the
Trustee's EB Money Market Fund.
- The Fixed Income Fund consists of units of the Society MaGIC
Fund, which invests in a combination of guaranteed investment
contracts and cash equivalents, and temporary investments in
the Trustee's EB Money Market Fund.
- The American Fundamental Investors Fund consists of shares of
Fundamental Investors, Inc. common stock, which invest in
mature stocks designed with the objective of growth from price
appreciation and income from dividends.
- The Fidelity Growth Fund consists of shares of Fidelity Fund
Advisor Institutional Equity Growth Fund, which invests in
growth stocks with the objective of capital appreciation.
- The American EuroPacific Growth Fund consists of shares of the
EuroPacific Growth Fund, which invests in growth stocks from
companies located outside the U. S. with the objective of
capital appreciation.
- The Income Fund of America Fund consists of shares of Income
Fund of America, which invests in stocks and bonds with the
objective of maximizing current income from dividends and
interest.
- The Bond Fund of America Fund consists of shares of the Bond
Fund of America, which invests in government and corporate
bonds.
<PAGE> 11
The following funds were closed during the year:
* The Equity Fund consisted of units of the Society Diversified
Stock Fund, a broadly diversified portfolio consisting
primarily of the common stocks of high quality companies and
temporary investments in the Trustee's EB Money Market Fund.
The Trustee is not the administrator of the Society
Diversified Stock Fund but is the investment advisor.
* The Money Market Fund consisted of units of the Trustee's EB
Money Market Fund, a managed money market fund investing in
high quality, short-term investments emphasizing liquidity.
Company contributions are invested in the Company Stock Fund which
consists of investments in the common stock of Bearings, Inc., limited
to a maximum of one million shares, and temporary investments in the
Trustee's EB Money Market Fund.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - Each fund of the Trust is accounted for
separately. The accounts of these funds are maintained, and the
accompanying financial statements have been prepared, on the accrual
basis of accounting.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Investments are accounted for at cost on
the trade-date and are reported in the Statement of Net Assets
Available for Benefits at market value. The investment in Bearings,
Inc. common stock is valued using the year-end closing price listed by
the New York Stock Exchange. Investment funds are stated at values
using year-end closing price for each of the funds or quoted market
prices.
BENEFITS PAYABLE - Benefits are recorded by the Plan when payments are
made. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, benefits of $1,066,000 and
$980,000, respectively, were due to participants who have withdrawn
from participation in the Plan.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Certain administrative expenses of the Plan
for 1994 were paid by the Plan. All administrative expenses for 1993
were paid by the Company.
4. INVESTMENTS
The Plan provides that, in accordance with the investment objectives
established by the Company, the Trustee of the Plan shall hold,
invest, reinvest, manage and administer all assets of the Plan as a
trust fund for the exclusive benefit of participants and their
beneficiaries.
<PAGE> 12
Plan investments are detailed in the supplemental
schedule of assets held for investment purposes which is attached to
these financial statements. Plan investments exceeding 5% of net
assets available for benefits as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as
follows:
