INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS,
HUFFY CORPORATION:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Huffy
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huffy
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

HUFFY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
The Company recorded net earnings from continuing operations of $10,429 or
$.80 per common share in 1997 compared to $6,924, or $.51 per common share for
1996. Improved volume led to increased profitability in both segments. The net
earnings from continuing operations exclude operating results and gain from the
sale of the Company's juvenile products business which was sold to Evenflo
Company, Inc. in April, 1997. In 1997 the juvenile products business had net
sales of $37,180 and a net loss of $813, or $.06 per common share compared to
net sales of $122,209 and a net loss of $467, or $.03 per common share in 1996.
The gain on the sale of the juvenile products business was $559, or $.04 per
common share.
Net Sales
Net sales in 1997 were $694,490, a 19.8% increase over net sales of
$579,670 in 1996. Net sales in the Consumer Products segment increased by 20.7%
over 1996. Net sales in the Consumer Products segment increased due to strong
demand and market share gains for bicycles and basketball backboard systems,
combined with increased market penetration and new customer distribution in the
wheelbarrow portion of the lawn and garden business.
In the Services for Retail segment, net sales increased by 17.9% over 1996,
primarily as a result of increased market penetration in the inventory services
and product assembly and supplier services businesses.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for 1997 was $112,841, or 16.2% of net sales,
compared to $94,888, or 16.4% of net sales reported for 1996.
Volume increases in both the Consumer Products and Services for Retail
segments contributed to the increased gross profit dollars. Gross profit
expressed as a percent of net sales declined versus the prior year in the
Consumer Products segment due to continued intense competition and customer
demand for increased mix of promotionally priced products, while the Services
for Retail segment was unfavorably impacted by a shift in the mix of product
services provided.
Consolidated gross profit in total and as a percentage of sales varies by
quarter due to normal seasonal fluctuations at several Huffy Companies. True
Temper Hardware Company typically experiences lower sales in the third quarter
due to the seasonal nature of its products. Lower gross profit percentages in
the fourth quarter are typically caused by seasonal fluctuations at Huffy
Bicycle Company and Washington Inventory Service. Huffy Bicycle Company
typically stops production for a period during December to prevent inventory
build-up. The fixed costs associated with this shutdown reduce fourth quarter
profitability. Washington Inventory Service also experiences a significant
unfavorable seasonal impact during the fourth quarter as retailers typically do
not conduct inventories during the Christmas season, causing low fourth quarter
sales volume and reduced gross profit.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 1997 were $91,838, a 14.7%
increase over 1996. The increase in selling, general, and administrative
expenses is primarily due to volume related commissions and customer service
costs.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $5,514, a $277 decrease over net interest expense
for 1996. The decrease in interest expense is due primarily to principal
reduction in long-term debt, and reduced levels of short-term borrowings made
possible by the Gerry Baby Products Company sale.
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995
The Company recorded net earnings from continuing operations of $6,924 in
1996, compared to a net loss of $9,515 reported in 1995. The 1995 net loss from
continuing operations included an after-tax restructure charge of $3,496 to
reflect the severance and related costs associated with a reduction of the
Company's corporate and Huffy Bicycle Company workforce and other costs
associated with a new concessionary labor contract at the Company's Celina, Ohio
bicycle manufacturing facility.
Net earnings from continuing operations per share of common stock was $.51
in 1996 compared to a net loss of $.70 in 1995. If the net loss were adjusted to
exclude the impact of the restructuring charge in 1995, net loss per common
share would have been $.44 in 1995.
15
<PAGE> 5
The net earnings from continuing operations exclude operating results from
the juvenile products business. In 1996, the juvenile products business had net
sales of $122,209 and a net loss of $467, or $.03 per common share compared to
net sales of $112,298 and a net loss of $942, or $.07 per common share in 1995.
Net Sales
Net sales in 1996 were $579,670, a 1.3% increase over net sales of $572,454
in 1995. Net sales in the Consumer Products segment decreased by .8% over 1995.
Net sales were negatively impacted by lower sales volume for the basketball
business resulting from unseasonable weather during the spring selling season.
This decrease was partially offset by increased sales in the lawn and garden
products, reflecting market gains as a result of new product introductions and
increased market penetration in existing product lines.
In the Services for Retail segment, net sales increased by 7.2% over 1995,
primarily as a result of continued market share gains in the non-bike and
in-home assembly business and increased market penetration in the inventory
services business.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit for 1996 was $94,888, or 16.4% of net sales,
compared to $74,853, or 13.1% reported for 1995. The increase in gross profit in
the Consumer Products segment resulted primarily from lower labor costs and
improved productivity in the bicycle business. In the Services for Retail
segment, gross profit margins increased due to improved labor efficiency in the
inventory services business.
Consolidated gross profit in total and as a percentage of sales varies by
quarter due to normal seasonal fluctuations at several Huffy Companies. True
Temper Hardware Company typically experiences lower sales in the third quarter
due to the seasonal nature of its products. Lower gross profit percentages in
the fourth quarter are typically caused by seasonal fluctuations at Huffy
Bicycle Company and Washington Inventory Service. Huffy Bicycle Company
typically stops production for a period during December to prevent inventory
build-up. The fixed costs associated with this shutdown reduce fourth quarter
profitability. Washington Inventory Service also experiences a significant
unfavorable seasonal impact during the fourth quarter as retailers typically do
not conduct inventories during the Christmas season, causing low fourth quarter
sales volume and reduced gross profit.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 1996 were $80,058, a 4.3%
increase over 1995. The increase in selling, general, and administrative
expenses is primarily due to higher incentive accruals.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $5,791, a $734 decrease over net interest expense
for 1995. The decrease in interest expense is due primarily to principal
reduction in long-term debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The financial condition of the Company remained strong during 1997. Company
operations have historically provided a positive cash flow which, along with the
credit facilities maintained, provides adequate liquidity to meet the Company's
operational needs. Cash provided by continuing operations amounted to $1,216 in
1997, compared to $2,784 in 1996 and $27,576 in 1995.
Committed and uncommitted short-term lines of credit total $120,000 of
which $43,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1997. The Company believes that
its capital structure provides the financial flexibility to obtain additional
financing that may be necessary to fund future growth.
16
<PAGE> 6
Funds expended for capital additions and improvements totaled $17,493 in
1997 compared to $14,684 in 1996 and $21,232 in 1995. In 1998, capital
expenditures are expected to be approximately $21,600, reflecting continuing
investment in new products and technology.
The Company's debt to total capital ratio decreased to 28.0% at December
31, 1997 compared to 30.7% at December 31, 1996 due to the scheduled repayment
of long-term obligations.
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY
During 1995, the Company recorded a restructure charge of $5,378 ($3,496
after-tax). The restructure plan included a charge of $715 related to a 30%
reduction in the Company's Corporate Staff, $1,280 related to a reduction in
administrative and hourly employment at the Huffy Bicycle Company, and a charge
of $3,883, which included a pension curtailment expense of $3,226, related to
the negotiation of a concessionary labor contract at the Company's Celina, Ohio
bicycle manufacturing facility. The restructure charge was offset by a $500
restructure credit recorded to reflect revised cost estimates for certain items
in a 1993 restructure charge. The restructure plan was substantially completed
during 1995 with all activity completed as of December 31, 1996.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company, along with others, has been designated as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the
environment in the Baldwin Park operable unit of the San Gabriel Valley
Superfund site. Currently, the Company, along with other PRPs, the San Gabriel
Basin Water Quality Authority and numerous local water districts are working
with the EPA on a mutually satisfactory remedial plan.
The total accrual for estimated environmental remediation costs related to
the Superfund site and other potential environmental liabilities is
approximately $5,100 at December 31, 1997. Management expects that the majority
of expenditures relating to costs currently accrued will be made over the next
two to ten years.
As a result of factors such as the continuing evolution of environmental
laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of
technology, the identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the
allocation of costs among PRPs, estimated costs for future environmental
compliance and remediation are necessarily imprecise and it is not possible to
fully predict the amount or timing of future costs of environmental remediation
requirements which may subsequently be determined.
Based upon information presently available, such future costs are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
liquidity, or its ongoing results of operations. However, such costs could be
material to results of operations in a future period.
INFLATION
Inflation rates in the United States have not had a significant impact on
the Company's operating results for the three years ended December 31, 1997. The
impact on the Company is minimized as a result of rapid turnover of inventories
and partially offset by cost reduction programs and increased operating
efficiency.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[a] Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Huffy Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
[b] Reclassification -- The accompanying consolidated financial statements
and notes for 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified to identify separately the
earnings, net assets, and cash flows of the Company's discontinued juvenile
products business.
[c] Cash and Cash Equivalents -- Cash equivalents consist principally of
short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or
less.
[d] Concentrations of Credit Risk -- Financial instruments which potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 105, consist primarily of trade
accounts receivable. In the normal course of business, Huffy extends credit to
various companies in the retail industry where certain concentrations of credit
risk exist. These concentrations of credit risk may be similarly affected by
changes in economic or other conditions and may, accordingly, impact Huffy's
overall credit risk. However, management believes that consolidated accounts
receivable are well diversified, thereby reducing potential material credit
risk, and that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb
estimated losses as of December 31, 1997.
[e] Inventories -- Inventories are valued at cost (not in excess of market)
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for all bicycle and
basketball inventories. Lawn and garden tools inventories are valued on the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, 60% and 49%,
respectively, of the Company's inventories were valued using the LIFO method.
[f] Property, Plant, and Equipment -- Depreciation and amortization of plant
and equipment is provided on the straight-line method.
Annual depreciation and amortization rates are as follows:
Land improvements 5 -- 10%
Buildings and improvements 2-1/2 -- 10%
Machinery and equipment 5 -- 33-1/3%
Office furniture, fixtures, and equipment 10 -- 33-1/3%
Leasehold improvements 4-1/2 -- 33-1/3%
[g] Amortization of Intangibles -- The excess of cost over net assets
acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen to forty years. The
carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether goodwill has been impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will
not be recoverable, as determined based on projected undiscounted future cash
flows of the entity acquired, the Company's carrying value of goodwill would be
reduced by the estimated impairment.
[h] Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments -- The
carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade accounts
payable, notes payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's long-term
debt obligations is disclosed in Note (6).
[i] Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share -- Effective December 31, 1997, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which simplifies the standards
for computing earnings per share. Quarterly earnings per share have been
restated to reflect the adoption, however, there was no material impact on the
Company's previously reported earnings per share. Earnings (loss) per share of
common stock is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based
on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding.
[j] Foreign Currency Translation -- The functional currency of
the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries is the local currency. Adjustments resulting
from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a separate
component of shareholders' equity.
[k] Use of Estimates -- Management of the Company has made a number of
estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
[l] Stock Option Plans -- Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for
its stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and
related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the
date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded
the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize
as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on
the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue
to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income
and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants
made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-
23
<PAGE> 13
value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has
elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.
[2] ACQUISITIONS
In 1997, the Company made several acquisitions to add product lines to
current businesses. In December, the Company acquired the assets of Royce Union
Bicycle Company, Inc. which holds a leading market position in the growing
sporting goods distribution channel. In July, the Company purchased the business
and assets of Sure Shot International, Inc. and Hydra-Rib, Inc. which produce
basketball units for institutional and in-arena use. The financial position and
earnings for these companies were immaterial to the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
[3] DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 21, 1997, the Company sold the assets of its Denver-based juvenile
products business, Gerry Baby Products Company, for $73 million to Evenflo
Company, Inc. The results of Gerry Baby Products Company have been classified as
discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The assets and
liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 1996 have been classified
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Net assets of discontinued operations."
Summarized balance sheet data for discontinued operations is as follows:

</TABLE>
[4] RESTRUCTURING PROVISION
During 1995, the Company recorded a restructure charge of $5,378 ($3,496
after-tax). The restructure plan included a charge of $715 related to a 30%
reduction in the Company's Corporate Staff, $1,280 related to a reduction in
administrative and hourly employment at the Huffy Bicycle Company, and a charge
of $3,883, which includes a pension curtailment expense of $3,226, related to
the negotiation of a concessionary labor contract at the Company's Celina, Ohio
bicycle manufacturing facility.
In 1995 a restructure credit of $500 was recorded to reflect the revised cost
estimates for certain items included in the 1993 lawn and garden tools
restructuring. All activity related to the restructure of the Company's lawn and
garden tools business was completed as of December 31, 1995.

[6] LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
During 1997, the Company had a short-term committed line of credit with
various banks in the form of a $50,000 revolving credit agreement, expiring
December 31, 1999. The Company also had $70,000 in uncommitted lines of credit
on a no fee basis, of which $43,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1997.
Short-term borrowings are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
Certain of the loan agreements contain covenants which, among other things,
require the Company to maintain current assets equal to 150% of current
liabilities, limit the percentage of capitalization from funded debt, and
require that certain levels of net worth be maintained.
Principal payments required on long-term obligations during each of the
years 1999 through 2002 are approximately $6,406, $7,677, $1,678, and $1,697,
respectively.
The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term obligations at December
31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $47,225 and $54,504, respectively. Fair
value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument. Fair value estimates
were based on the amount of future cash flows discounted using the Company's
current borrowing rate for loans of comparable maturity. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
<PAGE> 14
[7] PREFERRED STOCK
Under the Company's Amended Articles of Incorporation, there are 1,000,000
authorized, unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value.
Subject to certain limitations, the Articles provide that the Board of Directors
may fix the conditions of each series of Preferred Stock.
The Company entered into a Rights Agreement with its transfer agent in 1988,
as amended in 1991 and 1994, and the Board of Directors declared a dividend of
one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each outstanding share of the Company's
Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, Preferred Share Purchase
Rights entitle the holder to purchase, at a price of $60.00, one one-hundredth
of a share of Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment. The
Rights become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the
Company's Common Stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the Common
Stock. Under certain circumstances, all Rights holders, except the person or
group holding 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock, will be entitled to
purchase a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock having a market value
of twice the Right's current exercise price. Alternately, if the Company is
acquired in a merger or other business combination, after the Rights become
exercisable the Rights will entitle the holder to buy a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time of twice each Right's
current exercise price.
Further, after a person or group acquires 15% or more (but less than 50%) of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock, the Company's Board of Directors may
exchange part or all of the Rights (other than the Rights held by the acquiring
person or group) for shares of Common Stock. The Rights expire December 9, 2004
and may be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Right at any time prior to the
acquisition by a person or group of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock.
[8] COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK PLANS
At December 31, 1997, the Company has three stock-based compensation plans
which are described below. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in Accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans and its stock purchase plan
except for options issued below fair market value. The compensation cost that
has been charged against income for options issued below fair market value was
$432, $246, and $0 for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Had compensation cost
for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with
FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
<TABLE>

Net earnings (loss)

Pro Forma .75 .46 (.77)
</TABLE>
Due to the phase-in period for applying the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 123, the pro forma information provided above is not likely to be
representative of the effects on reported net earnings for future years.
A summary of the status of the Company's fixed stock option plans as of
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, changes during the years ended on those dates
is presented below:

The Company has two fixed option plans. The 1988 Stock Option Plan and
Restricted Share Plan authorizes the issuance of non-qualified stock options,
restricted shares, incentive stock options, and stock appreciation rights,
although no incentive stock options or stock appreciation rights have been
issued. Under the plan, the exercise price of each non-qualified stock option
equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant, and such
option's maximum term is ten years. Options vest at the end of the first through
fifth years.
The 1987 Director Stock Option Plan authorizes the automatic issuance of
non-qualified stock options to members of the Board of Directors who are not
employees of the Company. Directors can elect to receive discounted stock
options in lieu of all or part of the annual retainer fee. The total number of
shares issued under the plan shall not exceed 337,500 shares, and such shares
cannot include stock appreciation rights. Under the 1987 Director Stock Option
Plan, options vest at the end of the third, fourth, and fifth years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yield
of 2.4% for all years; expected volatility of 30.0% for all years; risk-free
interest rates from 5.5% to 6.8% for all plans and years; and expected lives of
5.8 years for all plans.
The 1989 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, authorizes the offering
and sale to employees of up to 975,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price approximately 90% of the closing price of the common stock on the offering
date. Under the plan, the Company sold 8,133 shares, 37,627 shares, and 7,350
shares to employees in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1997,
rights to purchase 44,714 shares were outstanding under this plan at an exercise
price of $14.12 per share and 550,298 additional shares were available for
issuance.
Under FASB Statement No. 123, compensation cost is recognized for the fair
value of the employee's purchase rights, which was estimated using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively: dividend yield of 2.4% for all years; an expected life of one year
for all years; a risk-free interest rate of 5.7% for 1997 grants, 6.2% for 1996
grants and 5.6% for 1995 grants, and expected volatility of 30.0% for all years.
The weighted-average fair value of those purchase rights granted in 1997, 1996,
and 1995 were $1.85, $2.41, and $2.28, respectively.

[10] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases certain manufacturing and warehouse facilities, office
space, machinery, and vehicles under cancellable and non-cancellable operating
leases, most of which expire within ten years and may be renewed by the Company.
Rent expense under such arrangements totaled approximately $7,523, $6,308, and
$5,911 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases at
December 31, 1997 are as follows:

</TABLE>
The Company is subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations, and claims
arising out of the conduct of its business primarily related to commercial
transactions and product liability. While it is not feasible to predict the
outcome of all pending suits and claims, management is of the opinion that their
ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial position, liquidity, or ongoing results of operations of
the Company.
[11] ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Remediation costs that relate to an existing
condition caused by past operations are accrued when it is probable that these
costs will be incurred and can be reasonably estimated.
The Company, along with others, has been designated as a potentially
responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the
environment in the Baldwin Park operable unit of the San Gabriel Valley
Superfund site ("Superfund"). Currently, the Company, along with other PRPs, the
San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority and numerous local water districts are
working with the EPA on a mutually satisfactory remedial plan. In developing its
estimate of environmental remediation costs, the Company considers, among other
things, currently available technological solutions, alternative cleanup methods
and risk-based assessments of the contamination and, as applicable, an
estimation of its proportionate share of remediation costs. The Company may also
make use of external consultants, and consider, when available, estimates by
other PRPs and governmental agencies and information regarding the financial
viability of other PRPs. Based upon information currently available, the Company
believes it is unlikely that it will incur substantial previously unanticipated
costs as a result of failure by other PRPs to satisfy their responsibilities for
remediation costs.
The Company has recorded environmental accruals, based upon the information
available, that are adequate to satisfy known remediation requirements. The
total accrual for estimated environmental remediation costs related to the
Superfund site and other potential environmental liabilities is approximately
$5,100 and $3,200 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. This accrual has not been
discounted, and management expects that the majority of expenditures relating to
costs currently accrued will be made over the next two to ten years. As a result
of factors such as the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory
requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification
of presently unknown remediation sites, and the allocation of costs among
potentially responsible parties, estimated costs for future environmental
compliance and remediation are necessarily imprecise and it is not possible to
fully predict the amount or timing of future costs of environmental remediation
requirements which may subsequently be determined.
Based upon information presently available, such future
costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, liquidity, or its ongoing results of operations. However,
such costs could be material to results of operations in a future period.
[12] BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering certain salaried
and hourly employees. Benefits to salaried employees are based upon the highest
three consecutive years of earnings out of their last ten years of service;
benefits to hourly workers are based upon their years of credited service.
Contributions to the plans reflect benefits attributed to employees' service to
date and also to services expected to be provided in the future. Plan assets
consist primarily of common and preferred stocks, common stock index funds,
investment grade corporate bonds, and U.S. government obligations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company has recorded an additional amount
of minimum pension liability of $6,791 at

December 31, 1997 and $8,850 at December 31, 1996, representing the excess of
unfunded accumulated benefit obligations over previously recorded pension cost
liabilities. A corresponding amount is recognized as an intangible asset except
to the extent that these additional liabilities exceed related unrecognized
prior service cost and net transition obligation, in which case the increase in
liabilities is charged directly to shareholders' equity. The change in the
excess minimum pension liability, net of income taxes, resulted in a credit to
equity of $134 in 1997 and a charge to equity of $781 in 1996.
Net pension cost included the following components:

In connection with the sale of Gerry Baby Products Company, future benefits
were suspended for its employees under one of the Company's defined benefit
plans and a curtailment gain of $851 was included in the gain on disposal of
discontinued operations.
The Company's Celina, Ohio facility participates in a multiemployer defined
benefit plan. Contributions to the multiemployer plan totaled $1,025 in 1997 and
$811 in 1996.
The Company maintains defined contribution retirement plans covering its
eligible employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
purpose of these defined contribution plans is generally to provide additional
financial security during retirement by providing employees with an incentive to
make regular savings. The Company's contributions to the plans are based on
employee contributions and were $807, $843, and $755 in 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively.
[13] OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plans, the Company
sponsors several defined benefit health care and life insurance plans that
provide postretirement medical, dental, and life insurance benefits to full-time
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The plans are
contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain other
cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The Company's policy
is to fund the cost of medical benefits in amounts determined at the discretion
of management.
The Company also sponsors a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of
highly compensated management employees. The eligible employees make
contributions to the plan and receive postretirement benefits based upon a
stated rate of return on those contributions. The Company's policy is to fund
the cost of the benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.
For measurement purposes, in 1997, a 9.25% health care cost trend rate was
assumed for expenses of participants under age 65; this rate was assumed to
decrease gradually to 5.5% by the year 2002 and remain at that level thereafter.
In addition, for 1997 a 7.25% health care cost trend rate was assumed for
expenses of participants over age 65; this rate was assumed to decrease
gradually to 5.5% by the year 2000 and remain at that level thereafter. The
health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts
reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by
one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 31, 1997 by $1,736 and the aggregate of the
service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost
for the year ended December 31, 1997 by $205.
The following table presents the plans' funded status reconciled with amounts
recognized in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 1997 and
1996 and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost recorded in the Company's
1997 and 1996 Consolidated Statements of Operations:
