Exhibits Index - Pages 19 and 20
<PAGE>
Part I
Item l. Business
--------
A description of Dynamics Corporation of America ("DCA" or
"Company") and financial information about industry segments on pages 22 and
23 of the annual report to security holders for the year ended December 31,
1993, and the classification of the Company's manufacturing divisions and
subsidiary for industry segments, including a description of each, on page 24
of the annual report to security holders for the year ended December 31, 1993
are incorporated herein by reference.
Unless otherwise noted, the additional information required
pursuant to this item which follows pertains to continuing operations of the
Company.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
- -----------------------------------------
DCA is a user of steel, aluminum, copper, plastics and
electronic components. Generally, these materials are available from many
sources, domestic and offshore. Prices paid are competitive. Supplies are
normally plentiful except during national emergencies, unusually prolonged
basic industry strikes, or periods of accelerated demand for products
exceeding industry capacity.
Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------
Although DCA owns or is licensed under a number of domestic
and foreign patents and patent applications, management believes that no
single patent or group of patents is material to the business as a whole. The
trademarks Waring , Blendor , NuBlend , Acme Juicerator , Qualheim ,
Anemostat , Multi-Vent , Anemotrak , Envirotrak , and Environ are well
recognized in their trading areas and signify desirable quality and value.
These trademarks should be available for Company use as long as it desires.
Backlog
- -------
The backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $26,200,000
at December 31, 1993 as compared with approximately $23,500,000 at December
31, 1992. Approximately 82% is represented by orders expected to be completed
in 1994. The Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment accounts for
approximately 60% of the unfilled orders at December 31, 1993, and backlog
continues to be significant when projecting future financial results of this
segment of the Company's business.
Customers
- ---------
In general, the businesses engaged in by the Company are not
dependent upon one or a few customers. The Power and Controlled Environmental
Systems segment of the Company, in addition to its commercial activities, acts
as both a subcontractor and prime contractor for the production of air
conditioning equipment, liquid cooling equipment and trailers and shelters for
electronic equipment of which the U.S. Government is the end-user. The
Company derived approximately 18% of its sales from U.S. Government-related
business in 1993. The Company derived approximately 12% of its sales in 1993,
1
<PAGE>
primarily in the Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment, from a
single contractor to the U.S. Government. However, the Company and the Power
and Controlled Environmental Systems segment are not dependent on this
customer. The remaining segments of the Company serve a broad base of
customers and are predominantly commercial in nature.
Competition
- -----------
DCA normally experiences varying degrees of competition with
respect to each of its segments and with respect to particular products within
each segment.
The electrical appliances produced by the Company's Waring
Products Division experience keen competition in the consumer and commercial
segments of the market. The Company's Waring Blendor , NuBlend , Acme
Juicerator and Qualheim are recognized names in their field.
The Reeves-Hoffman Division encounters strong competition for
the crystal products, oscillators and hermetic seal packages it sells due in
large part to the multiplicity of suppliers in the industry. The same is true
with respect to the heat dissipating devices sold by the Company's
International Electronic Research Corporation subsidiary.
Anemostat's air distribution, systems and door products
compete in a well supplied market with regard to quality, price and delivery.
The Company's Anemostat air diffusers and vision frames and louvers for fire-
rated doors are recognized names in the industry. Sales of these products tend
to follow the expansion and contraction of the commercial construction
industry.
As a supplier of specialized equipment for government,
industry and power plant use, the Ellis & Watts Division is generally required
to submit competitive bids. The mobile medical van segment of the market
which it serves has become more competitive in recent years.
Distribution
- ------------
The methods of distribution and marketing utilized by the
Company vary from division to division. In general, sales for all the
Company's segments combine some direct selling in certain market areas with
appropriate manufacturers' representatives, wholesalers, distributors and/or
dealers.
Research and Development
- ------------------------
DCA engages in a variety of research and development programs
throughout its divisions, the primary purposes of which are to improve
existing products and processes, modify current products to extend their
market life and expand markets by developing new products. Expenditures for
Company sponsored research and development amounted to $1,252,000 in 1993,
$1,203,000 in 1992 and $1,041,000 in 1991.

<PAGE>
Environmental Matters
- ---------------------
The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") that it is a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP")
regarding hazardous waste cleanup at a non-Company site in Connecticut and at
a Company site in California. Certain of the PRPs at the Connecticut site
have agreed with the EPA to fund a feasibility study at the site and have sued
the Company and other PRPs who have not agreed to share the costs. A property
owner adjacent to the California site has sued the Company and others for
allegedly causing contamination of their property. The Company incurred costs
of $273,000 in 1993 to fund engineering studies and conduct investigations of
the California site and to pay related expenses. The Company also has
received notice from a state environmental agency that it is a PRP with
respect to a non-Company site in Pennsylvania, and is a defendant in two
lawsuits seeking contribution for Superfund cleanup costs relating to two
other non-Company sites in that state.
The amount of future environmental-related expenditures and
the extent of insurance coverage is not determinable at this time. Based upon
its knowledge of the extent of the Company's exposure and current statutes,
rules and regulations, management believes that the anticipated costs
resulting from claims and proceedings with respect to the above mentioned
sites, including possible remediation, the extent of which is presently
unknown, will not materially affect the financial position of the Company.
However, it is possible, but unanticipated at this time, that future results
of operations or cash flows could be materially affected by an unfavorable
resolution of these matters.
In 1993 the Company expended $426,000, including the $273,000
at the California site, to manage hazardous substances, to monitor pollutants,
to test for contaminants and to provide for required clean-up activities, a
48% increase in such expenditures over the prior year.
Number of Employees
- -------------------
DCA employed 1,062 persons at December 31, 1993.
Foreign Operations
- ------------------
The Company does not engage in material operations in foreign
countries. However, some revenue accrues from direct sales abroad which
represented approximately 9% of sales in 1993. In addition, the Company
receives revenue from licenses and technology transfers which amounted to
$1,207,000 in 1993, $244,000 in 1992 and $226,000 in 1991. In 1993 the
Company recorded income from an initial royalty of $1,000,000 under a
technology transfer agreement with a customer in the Power and Controlled
Environmental Systems segment; future royalty amounts from that customer are
dependent upon future contract awards received by the customer.

<PAGE>
Discontinued Operations
- -----------------------
The Company determined to discontinue operations at its
Fermont division, a manufacturer of electrical power systems for government
and commercial markets, effective as of September 30, 1991, and to put the
division's assets and business up for sale. The Company will fulfill all
contract obligations of Fermont, including its obligations under the contract
with the U.S. Government to supply 3KW engine generator sets, currently
scheduled to be completed in 1996, unless a buyer for the business assumes
performance of its contracts. (Notes 3, 6, 7 and 15 on pages 12, 14 and 18 of
the annual report to security holders for the year ended December 31, 1993 are
incorporated herein by reference.)
In December, 1992 the Company sold its 33.3% interest in
Farmhand Inc. for $1,700,000 in cash and a $500,000 note, at six percent
interest per annum, payable quarterly through 2009.
Investment in CTS Corporation
- -----------------------------
At December 31, 1993, the Company's holdings of the common
stock of CTS Corporation ("CTS") aggregated 1,920,900 shares. The Company's
equity ownership in CTS represents 37.3% of the outstanding stock of CTS.
The current CTS Board of Directors is comprised of five
individuals including two directors who also are officers and directors of
DCA. The Company's investment in CTS is accounted for under the equity
method. CTS, whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, designs,
manufactures and sells electronic and electromagnetic components and
subsystems for the automotive, communications equipment, data processing,
defense and aerospace, instruments and controls, and consumer electronic
markets. CTS is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana and operates manufacturing
plants in the U.S. and abroad, primarily in a single business segment,
electronic components and subsystems, in worldwide markets. (Note 5 on page
13 of the Company's annual report to security holders for the year ended
December 31, 1993 is incorporated herein by reference.)

employed shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the
Corporation in such banks, trust companies or other depositories as the Board
may select or as may be selected by any officer or officers, agent or agents
of the Corporation to whom such power may from time to time be delegated.
SECTION 5. Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, the
Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman, the President or any Vice President
may from time to time appoint an attorney or attorneys or agent or agents of
the Corporation, in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, to cast the
votes which the Corporation may be entitled to cast as the holder of stock or
other securities in any other corporation, or to consent in writing, in the
name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such other
corporation, and may instruct the person or persons so appointed as to the
manner of casting such votes or giving such consent, and may execute or cause
to be executed in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, and under its
corporate seal, or otherwise, all such written proxies or other instruments
as he may deem necessary or proper in the premises.
ARTICLE VII
SHARES AND CERTIFICATES
SECTION 1. Certificates. Each holder of record of shares of stock of
the Corporation shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates in such
form as shall be approved by the Board, signed by the Chairman of the Board,
the Vice Chairman, the President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, and sealed with the seal of the Corporation, which seal
may be an engraved or printed facsimile, certifying the number of shares
owned by him in the Corporation. If any such certificate is signed by a
transfer agent or transfer clerk and by a registrar, the signatures of any of
the officers specified above may be engraved or printed facsimiles. In case
any such officer who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature shall
have been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such before
such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if such officer had not ceased to be such at the date of its issue.
SECTION 2. Transfers. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be
transferable on the stock book of the Corporation by the holder thereof in
person or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly
executed and filed with the Secretary or the transfer agent. Except as
hereinafter provided in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of
certificates, no transfer of stock shall be entered until the previous
certificate given for the same shall have been duly endorsed, surrendered and
canceled. The Board may also make such additional rules and regulations as
it may deem expedient concerning the issue and transfer of certificates
representing shares of stock of the Corporation. No transfer of shares shall
be valid as against the Corporation or its shareholders for any purpose until
it shall have been entered in the share records of the Corporation by an
entry showing from and to whom transferred.
SECTION 3. Closing of Transfer Books, Record Date. The Board may
prescribe a period, not exceeding fifty (50) days prior to any meeting of
stockholders or prior to the last day on which the consent or dissent of
stockholders may be effectively expressed for any purpose without a meeting,
during which no transfer of stock on the books of the Corporation may be
made; or, in lieu of prohibiting the transfer of stock, may fix a day and
hour not more than fifty (50) days prior to the day and hour then fixed for
the holding of any meeting of stockholders or prior to the last day on which
As amended through May 7, 1993. 8
<PAGE>
the consent or dissent of stockholders may be effectively expressed for any
purpose without a meeting as the time as of which stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at such meeting or whose consent or dissent is required
or may be expressed for any purpose, as the case may be, shall be determined,
and all persons who were holders of record of voting stock at such time and
no others shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting or to
express their consent or dissent, as the case may be. The Board may fix a
day and hour not exceeding fifty (50) days preceding the date fixed for the
payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution, or for the
delivery of evidences of rights or evidences of interest arising out of any
change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, as a record time for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to receive any such dividend,
distribution, rights or interests, and in such case only stockholders of
record at the time so fixed shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, rights or interests. The Board at its option, in lieu of so
fixing a record time, may prescribe a period not exceeding fifty (50) days
prior to the date fixed for the payment of such dividend, distribution or
delivery during which no transfer of stock on the books of the Corporation
may be made.
SECTION 4. Lost, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. In case of loss,
destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued
in its place upon proof of such loss, destruction or mutilation and upon the
giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum
as the Board may prescribe; provided, however, that a new certificate may be
issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is
proper to do so.
ARTICLE VIII
OFFICES AND BOOKS
SECTION 1. Offices. The principal office of the Corporation shall be at
475 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, CT. The Board may from time to time and at
any time establish other offices of the Corporation or branches of its
business at whatever place or places seem to it expedient.
SECTION 2. Books. There shall be kept at the principal office of the
Corporation correct books of account of all the business and transactions of
the Corporation and, either at said office of the Corporation or at the
office of the transfer agent of the Corporation, the stock book of the
Corporation, which shall contain the names, alphabetically arranged, of all
persons who are stockholders of the Corporation, showing their respective
places of residence, the number of shares of stock held by them respectively,
and the time when they respectively became the owners thereof.
ARTICLE IX
SEAL
SECTION 1. The seal of the Corporation shall be circular in form and
contain the name of the Corporation and the words and figures "Corporate Seal
1924 New York".
ARTICLE X
WAIVER OF NOTICE
SECTION 1. Whenever any notice whatever is required by these By-laws or
the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the person entitled thereto may,
in person, or, in the case of a stockholder, by his duly authorized attorney,
waive such notice in writing (which shall include the use of telegraph,
cable, radio or wireless), whether before or after the meeting or other
matter or event in respect of which such notice is to be given.
As amended through May 7, 1993. 9
<PAGE>
ARTICLE XI
FISCAL YEAR
SECTION 1. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on the 31st day
of December in each year.
ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 1. Right of Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
("proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person for whom he
or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another
corporation including subsidiaries of the Corporation, or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged
action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or
in any other capacity while serving as so requested as a director, officer,
employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation
to the fullest extent permitted by the New York Business Corporation Law, as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights then said law permitted the
Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses,
liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgment, fines, ERISA excise
taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith. Such right
shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the
Corporation expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of
its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses
incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in his or her capacity
as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was
or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final
disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that
such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section
or otherwise.
SECTION 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1
is not paid in full by the Corporation within 90 days after a written claim
has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim,
and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be
paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition
where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under
the New York Business Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall
be on the Corporation. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification
of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the New York Business Corporation
Law, shall not be a defense to the action nor shall an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant had not met such applicable
standard of conduct, create a presumption that claimant had not met the
applicable standard of conduct.
As amended through May 7, 1993. 10
<PAGE>
SECTION 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred by Sections
1 and 2 shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have
or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
SECTION 4. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or
not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss under the New York Business Corporation Law.
ARTICLE XIII
AMENDMENTS
SECTION 1. These By-laws or any of them may be altered, amended or
repealed, or new By-laws may be adopted, by the vote of a majority of the
whole Board at any regular or special meeting thereof, or by the vote of the
holders of a majority in number of the issued and outstanding shares of stock
of the Corporation given at any annual or special meeting of stockholders,
provided that notice thereof shall have been given in the notice of such
meeting of stockholders. The power of the Board to make, alter, amend and
rescind the By-laws of the Corporation shall be subject to such restrictions
and regulations, if any, as may be contained in any By-laws made and adopted
at any time by the stockholders. Any By-law adopted, amended and repealed by
the Board which regulates an impending election of directors shall be set
forth in the notice of the next meeting of stockholders for the election of
directors, together with a concise statement of the changes made.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
TO SHAREHOLDERS
1993--What a challenging year it was!
Managing the performance of Dynamics Corporation of America during the past
few years while meeting the challenges of a depressed economy, low consumer
confidence, major personnel layoffs, and the continuing uncertainty of the
promised but elusive recovery has, at times, required the patience of Job and
the wisdom of Solomon to survive and prosper. However, by perseverance and in
spite of the many setbacks, DCA's continuing operations have managed to
remain profitable, although not to the degree that management had planned or
worked so hard to achieve.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, Dynamics Corporation of America
reported income from continuing operations of $2,677,000, or $.68 per share,
on sales of $101,329,000. This compared with income from continuing
operations of $3,333,000, or $.85 per share, on sales of $110,243,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1992. Income in 1992 was increased by a resolution of
prior years tax matters of $780,000, or $.20 per share.
Included in income from continuing operations, before accounting changes, is
the Company's proportionate share of the results of the CTS Corporation, in
which DCA presently has a 37.3% ownership, for the year ended December 31,
1993, in accordance with the equity method of accounting required for that
investment, which was income of $1,619,000, or $.41 per share, compared to a
loss of $442,000, or $.11 per share, for last year.
The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 of
$961,000, or $.24 per share, compared with net income of $2,123,000, or $.54
per share, in 1992.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 included DCA's proportionate
share of CTS' net charge for onetime accounting changes, related to post
retirement benefits other than pensions and accounting for income taxes,
amounting to $1,716,000, or $.44 per share.
The Company fell considerably short of its planned sales and profit goals for
the year. The largest contributors to the 1993 shortfall were the Anemostat
Products Division and the Waring Products Division. These two divisions
experienced more than $13 million in lower sales than in 1992 and recorded
losses of approximately $400,000 as compared to earnings of approximately
$4,300,000 (pretax) in the 1992 period. Unfortunately, as we begin 1994,
market conditions for these operations have not materially improved although
we expect the benefits gained from their restructuring in 1993 will allow
both to be more competitive.
At our annual meeting held on May 7, 1993, I reported to you on the progress
being made by our wholly owned subsidiary International Electronic Research
Corporation. Through that date, this operation had recorded bookings of
$1,650,000 for its newly developed thermal products for various
microprocessors being introduced into the computer marketplace. These strong
bookings continued throughout the year resulting in sales at IERC of
$8,348,000--a 57% increase over the prior year. Operating income increased
fivefold. This outstanding performance continues into 1994 with bookings in
January and February for these same products already exceeding $2.7 million.
There is no guarantee that this order rate will continue but it is a great
start.
As in 1992, DCA did not borrow any funds during the year under the Revolving
Credit Agreement with its banks and the Company again demonstrated its
continuing ability to generate positive cash flow as its cash and cash
equivalents at year end increased to $8,969,000 as compared to $6,095,000 in
1992.

<PAGE>
In 1993, the management of the CTS Corporation began to realize the benefits
of its restructuring of operations, aggressive new product development and a
very strong automotive market for its products. These actions resulted in CTS
achieving net sales of $236,979,000, an increase of $9,588,000 or 4.2% over
1992, and operating earnings of $11,021,000, which increased significantly
from $4,098,000 in 1992. Before the Financial Accounting Standards Board
mandated accounting changes, earnings per share were $1.27 compared to $.37
in 1992. Operating cash flow at CTS was also positive and increased by $4.7
million over 1992 reflecting the company's continued emphasis on balance
sheet management.
On a personal note, it is with profound regret and sadness that I inform you
that Edward J. Mooney, our valued director, officer and colleague, who
celebrated his 40th year with DCA prior to his retirement in December, died
on February 7, 1994. On the occasion of his 25th year with the Company in
1978, the Board of Directors adopted the following resolution:
"RESOLVED, that we, his fellow Directors, record our utmost respect and
admiration and express our appreciation and gratitude to Edward J. Mooney for
his many years of devotion to duty, abundant talent, uncompromising
integrity, fortitude, keenness of mind and sound counsel. He has been a
champion of right, philosopher, teacher and pillar of strength, all of which
have left an indelible mark on those who have come in contact with him and
have contributed immeasurably to the survival, growth and success of this
Corporation."
Our admiration, so well expressed 15 years ago, only grew in the ensuing
years. His abundant talent, friendship, wise counsel and wit will be missed
by all his fellow employees and the many and significant contributions that
he made are a lasting legacy for DCA. We hereby extend to his family our
heartfelt sympathy in their great loss.
The challenges of 1993 have been many; the disappointments confronted; the
successes gratefully accepted. As we prepare to confront new challenges, we
feel confident that a financially sound, debt free DCA is in a position to
capitalize on the opportunities afforded to it to grow and prosper.
We sincerely thank those employees who responded to the challenges this past
year with their hard work, dedication and ingenuity. We also thank our
shareholders for their continued support and encouragement.
(SIGNATURE OF ANDREW LOZYNIAK)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion, unless otherwise noted, pertains to continuing
operations.
Results of Operations
(1993 compared to 1992)
Sales decreased $8,914,000 or 8.1%. Sales in the Electrical Appliances and
Electronic Devices segment decreased $8,452,000 as sales of electrical
appliances decreased $10,364,000 with lower sales of juicer products and
blenders partially offset by increased sales of specialty consumer products.
Sales of electronic devices increased $1,912,000 as sales of new heat
dissipating devices for computer microprocessors more than doubled while
sales of frequency control devices decreased. Sales in the Fabricated Metal
Products and Equipment segment decreased $2,894,000 as air, door and systems
product sales declined due to the weak market for new industrial and
commercial construction and renovation, as well as competitive pricing. Sales
in the Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment increased
$2,432,000 due principally to increased shipments under a multi-unit,
defense-related custom mobile order to a Government prime contractor, which
were partially offset by sales declines in power plant products.
Gross profit decreased $5,664,000 to 24.5% from 27.6% of sales. Gross profit
in the Electrical Appliances and Electronic Devices segment decreased
significantly due to lower sales of electrical appliances and lower sales and
manufacturing yields in the frequency control and hermetic seal product
lines, offset in part by the effect of increased sales of higher margined
heat dissipating devices. In the Fabricated Metal Products and Equipment
segment, gross profit decreased due to lower sales, especially of higher
margined systems products and services, and price competition. Gross profit
in the Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment decreased due to
price competition for reduced defense procurements and a declining medical
products market for mobile vans and transportable shelters.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,099,000 due to
lower commission, freight and sales promotion expenses in all segments of the
Company. The decrease was primarily volume related.
Other income increased $301,000. Royalty income increased $963,000 from the
initial royalty under a technology transfer agreement with a customer in the
Power and Controlled Environmental Systems segment. Staff restructurings
resulted in charges of $470,000, principally for severance, in the current
year. In 1992, the sale of excess property and plant resulted in a gain of
$554,000.
Income taxes amounted to $617,000, a decline of $547,000 principally because
of lower income before taxes. The year to year comparison of income taxes was
also affected by the favorable resolution of certain tax matters in 1992
amounting to $780,000. The 1993 effective tax rate is higher than the
applicable 34% Federal statutory rate primarily because of state income taxes
which were offset in part by non-taxable income and foreign tax credits.
The cumulative effect to January 1, 1992 of the Company's adoption of
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes," resulted in a charge of $942,000 to 1992 earnings.
Equity in CTS Corporation
Equity in the earnings of CTS Corporation before accounting changes by CTS
increased $2,061,000 primarily as a result of CTS' increase in such earnings
of $4,669,000.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company recorded its
proportionate share of CTS' net charge from its adoption of FASB Statement
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," a charge of $1,896,000, or $.49 per share, and FASB Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a credit of $180,000, or $.05 per share.
These onetime, non-cash accounting changes were adopted by CTS as cumulative
effects to January 1, 1993.
The Company's equity ownership in CTS was 37.3% at year end compared to 37.2%
at the end of the previous year. The change in the equity ownership
percentage is attributable to purchases of CTS stock by the Company.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
In 1993, the Company increased cash and cash equivalents $2,874,000 by
generating $5,166,000 from operating activities while using $882,000 and
$1,410,000 in investing and financing activities, respectively, as disclosed
in the statement of cash flows. The discontinued Fermont division required
cash of $370,000 for operating activities. Cash and marketable securities,
other than shares of CTS, amounted to $9,656,000 at December 31, 1993. The
Company did not borrow dur-
4
<PAGE>
ing the year under its $27,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement or the
$10,000,000 uncommitted line with its banks. The entire amount of the credit
facilities is available for use by the Company.
Liquidity and financial resources are considered adequate to fund planned
Company operations, including capital expenditures and payment of dividends.
The Company intends to continue its stated policy of reviewing potential
acquisitions which it believes could enhance its growth and profitability.
Management anticipates that the Company's deferred tax assets will be
realized based upon its expectation of future taxable income. The Company's
income from continuing operations before income taxes aggregated $9,089,000
for the three years ended December 31, 1993. Sustaining this income level
would be sufficient to realize deferred tax assets over the tax recovery
period. Although they are not expected to be required, the Company has
available various tax planning strategies, including property sale and
leaseback strategies, to supplement taxable income from operations in order
to realize deferred tax assets. The Company will require taxable income of
$15,396,000 ($14,742,000 of ordinary income and $654,000 of capital gain
income) to realize its net deferred tax assets of $5,999,000 at December 31,
1993. Under applicable carryback provisions of the current Internal Revenue
Code, $5,858,000 of the prior years' taxable income could be utilized to
realize temporary differences, including all capital related items. The
Company in large measure controls the reversal of $5,501,000 of temporary
differences and a significant portion of the remaining differences is
expected to reverse during the next five years.
The effect on the Company's income taxes of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993 was not significant in 1993 and is not expected to be significant
in the foreseeable future.
The Company continues to test its prototype units toward the goal of securing
first article approval from the U.S. Government of the 3KW generator sets
designed and manufactured by the discontinued Fermont division. Management
believes the reserve for this discontinued operation is adequate, although
the additional time for testing has extended the projected contract
completion date into 1996. (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
Staff restructuring costs of $470,000 in 1993, principally for severance,
will result in cash outflows of approximately $369,000 and reduced salary
costs of approximately $1,500,000 in 1994.
The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") that it is a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") regarding
hazardous waste cleanup at a non-Company site in Connecticut and at a Company
site in California. Certain of the PRPs at the Connecticut site have agreed
with the EPA to fund a feasibility study at the site and have sued the
Company and other PRPs who have not agreed to share the costs. A property
owner adjacent to the California site has sued the Company and others for
allegedly causing contamination of their property. The Company incurred costs
of $273,000 in 1993 to fund engineering studies and conduct investigations of
the California site and to pay related expenses. The Company also has
received notice from a state environmental agency that it is a PRP with
respect to a non-Company site in Pennsylvania, and is a defendant in two
lawsuits seeking contribution for Superfund cleanup costs relating to two
other non-Company sites in that state.
The amount of future environmental-related expenditures and the extent of
insurance coverage is not determinable at this time. Based upon its knowledge
of the extent of the Company's exposure and current statutes, rules and
regulations, management believes that the anticipated costs resulting from
claims and proceedings with respect to the above mentioned sites, including
possible remediation, the extent of which is presently unknown, will not
materially affect the financial position of the Company. However, it is
possible, but unanticipated at this time, that future results of operations
or cash flows could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of
these matters.
In 1993 the Company expended $426,000, including the $273,000 at the
California site, to manage hazardous substances, to monitor pollutants, to
test for contaminants and to provide for required clean-up activities, a 48%
increase in such expenditures over the prior year.
In complying with federal, state and local environmental protection statutes
and regulations, the Company has altered or modified certain manufacturing
processes and expects to do so in the future. Such modifications to date have
not significantly increased capital expenditures or affected earnings or the
competitiveness of the Company.
During 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and FASB Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the
impact of which was not significant.
The impact of inflation on the operations of the Company was not material.

Results of Operations
(1992 compared to 1991)
Sales decreased $1,719,000 or 1.5%. Sales in the Electrical Appliances and
Electronic Devices segment increased overall by $2,249,000 or 3.7%. Sales of
electrical appliances, driven primarily by consumer demand for juicer and
other specialty products, increased $7,887,000 or 19.7%. Sales of electronic
components declined $5,638,000 as procurement for defense-related product
applications declined and manufacturing difficulties resulted in lost
business in the communication and data processing industries. Recently
developed electronic heat dissipating devices began to generate significant
sales toward the end of 1992 which offset in part the decline in
defense-related products. Sales in the Power and Controlled Environmental
Systems segment decreased $5,792,000. Sales of power plant products were
lower because a majority of the shipments on a major foreign order occurred
in 1991. Sales of mobile and transportable medical products declined
substantially due to delays in the release by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) manufacturers of the next generation product for mobile applications
and in part to a maturing market for the existing models of MRI products for
mobile applications. Sales in the Fabricated Metal Products and Equipment
segment increased $1,824,000 primarily on the strength of laboratory,
isolation and clean room systems and door products. Sales of air products for
commercial and industrial applications declined in line with lower levels of
commercial building construction.
Gross profit increased $2,577,000 to 27.6% from 24.9% of sales. Gross profit
in the Electrical Appliances and Electronic Devices segment increased in the
aggregate and as a percentage of sales, because increased sales of electrical
appliances offset the effects of lower sales and production levels of
electronic components. Gross profit in the Power and Controlled Environmental
Systems segment increased in the aggregate and as a percentage of sales,
contributing significantly to overall improved Company gross profit.
Aggressive cost controls and improved gross margins on power plant and
medical product shipments contributed to the current year's improvement.
Gross profit in the Fabricated Metal Products and Equipment segment improved
primarily because of increased sales of more profitable systems products.
Other air products continued to experience a decline in gross profit
percentage as a result of reduced volume and competitive pressures on
pricing. Door products also experienced increased price competition.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $184,000. Advertising
for electrical appliances increased approximately $1,000,000, primarily for
the NuBlend(tm) blender, and legal and incentive plan expenses declined
approximately $850,000.
Other income increased $71,000. Income from marketable securities activity
declined $422,000 following the planned liquidation at a net gain in 1991 of
substantially all of the Company's current marketable securities portfolio,
and the resultant elimination of dividend income from such securities. The
sale of surplus property and plant resulted in a gain of $554,000 in 1992.
Income from a non-refundable escrow deposit of $254,000 was recorded in the
prior year.
Income taxes amounted to $1,164,000 and reflected a $780,000 favorable
resolution of prior year tax matters. Accordingly, the effective tax rate
differs substantially from the statutory rate of 34%. The Company adopted
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The effect of the
adoption of FASB Statement No. 109 on the current year's income tax provision
was not significant. However, the cumulative effect of this change to January
1, 1992, resulted in a $942,000 charge to the current year's earnings.
Equity in CTS Corporation
Losses from the equity investment in CTS Corporation amounted to $442,000
which compared unfavorably to income of $650,000 which the Company reported
in 1991. The $1,092,000 year to year decrease, equivalent to $.28 per share,
in the Company's proportionate share of CTS' operating results was due
primarily to CTS' $2,313,000 decline in net income. The Company's equity
ownership was 37.2% at year end compared to 37.4% at the end of the previous
year. The .2% decline is attributable to common stock issued by CTS in
conformity with employee plans.
Discontinued Unconsolidated Affiliate
Equity in the loss of a discontinued unconsolidated affiliate (Farmhand,
Inc.) amounted to $20,000 through the date of disposition compared to a loss
of $492,000 in the prior year. The loss on disposition of the Company's
equity interest in Farmhand amounted to $248,000, or $.06 per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
(a) The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity
method of accounting. All material intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Revenues are reported on contracts, principally government related, based
on the proportion of units completed to units contracted. Costs related to
such revenues are based on estimated average costs for units contracted.
(c) Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs
have been determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for
approximately 42% (1993) and 40% (1992) of inventories, excluding inventories
subject to progress billings under contracts. Costs for other inventories
have been determined principally by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
(d) Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and declining balance
methods over the estimated useful lives of assets.
(e) Realized gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities is determined
using specific cost identification. In 1993, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the impact of which was
not significant. The Company's current marketable securities are considered
trading securities.
(f) Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to
$1,252,000 (1993), $1,203,000 (1992) and $1,041,000 (1991).
(g) Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods.
(h) For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers all investment instruments with a maturity of three months or less
at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(i) In 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," the impact of which was not
significant.

Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (continued)
Note 3: Discontinued Operation--
Fermont Division
The Company determined to discontinue operations at its Fermont Division, a
manufacturer of electrical power systems for government and commercial
markets, effective as of September 30, 1991, and put the assets and business
up for sale. In conjunction with the discontinuance, the Company recorded a
provision for disposition of $5,600,000 for costs estimated to be incurred
prior to Fermont's disposition, including $3,629,000 for operating losses
during the phaseout period. The provision for disposition in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations in 1991 was reduced by $1,600,000 before taxes for
the favorable settlement of a court action involving a contract for the sale
of 60 KW engine generator sets to the Government. Fermont's sales for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 were $5,248,000, $14,655,000,
and $5,257,000, respectively.
The Company will fulfill all contractual obligations of Fermont, including
its obligations under its contract with the U.S. Government to supply 3 KW
engine generator sets, currently projected to be completed in 1996, unless a
buyer for the business assumes performance of its contracts. The Company has
submitted a proposed change order to the Government seeking several million
dollars in equitable compensation for delay damages and added costs of
obtaining first article approval of the prototype 3KW generator sets and for
related matters (see Note 15).
Current assets of the discontinued operation consist primarily of accounts
receivable and inventories. Accounts payable and accrued expenses and sundry
liabilities include $822,000 and $944,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, related to the division's operations.

Credit Facilities
The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement with banks which provides a line
of credit of up to $27,000,000 through September 30, 1994 at the lower of the
prime rate or other rate options available at the time of borrowing. The
Company pays a commitment fee of 3/8% based on the unused portion of the
line. The Agreement provides that, at the option of the Company, the
principal outstanding at September 30, 1994 may be converted to a four year
term loan, with interest at the lower of 1/4% over the prime rate or other
rate options, payable in equal semi-annual principal installments. The
Agreement contains restrictions which, among other things, require the
Company to have income from continuing operations before equity in the
operating results of unconsolidated affiliates for the year and in at least
one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters. The Agreement requires
maintenance of certain financial ratios and contains other restrictive
covenants, including a restriction on dividends.
The Company also has an uncommitted line of credit with a bank amounting to
$10,000,000. The Company does not pay any fee for the uncommitted line and
therefore the availability of the line is at the discretion of the bank.
Outstanding letters of credit, principally related to imports and bid and
performance bond obligations, amounted to $6,039,000 at December 31, 1993.

Note 10: Stockholders' Equity
1980 Restricted Stock and Cash Bonus Plan
The Plan, prior to amendment, provided for the discretionary award or sale of
up to 400,000 shares of common stock to key executives. The shares awarded or
sold are subject to restrictions against transfer as well as repurchase
rights of the Company which, in effect, provide for the lapse of restrictions
at the rate of 20% per year beginning one year from the award or sale. In
addition, the Plan provides for a cash bonus to the participant equal to the
fair market value of the shares on the date said restrictions lapse in the
case of an award, or the excess of the fair market value thereof as of such
date over the original purchase price if the shares were purchased, with a
limit upon the total bonuses paid to any participant during the 5-year period
of twice the fair market value of the shares on the date of award or sale.
The Plan was amended in 1988 to make additional shares available for issuance
to replenish the Plan for shares awarded since its inception. At December 31,
1993, 1992, and 1991, 370,500, 368,700 and 367,900 shares, respectively, were
available for award or sale under the Plan.
In addition to the shares issued and amortization of deferred compensation
included in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, the Company
accrued bonuses of $58,000 (1993), $146,000 (1992) and $178,000 (1991) and
reacquired (at no cost) through forfeitures 3,800 (1993) and 800 (1992)
previously issued restricted shares pursuant to the Plan.
1986 Stock Plan for Outside Directors
The Plan provides for a portion of outside directors' compensation to be
deferred and to be paid in shares of the Company's common stock upon a
director's retirement, disability or death. Under the Plan, common stock
units (payable in shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one
basis) are credited to the directors based on their service as outside
directors each year. Common stock units of 449 (1993), 351 (1992) and 462
(1991) were credited to the outside directors. In 1992, 1,251 shares were
distributed under the Plan to a deceased director's estate. The total number
of units in the Plan is 4,027 at December 31, 1993.
Note 11: Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
In 1986 the Company declared a distribution to shareholders of record on
February 14, 1986 of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding
share of the Company's voting and non-voting common stock. Under certain
conditions, each right may be exercised to purchase one one-hundredth of a
share of a newly created series of participating preferred stock at an
exercise price of $80. The rights become exercisable ten days after a public
announcement that a party or group has acquired or obtained the right to
acquire 20% or more of the Company's common stock in a transaction not
previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, or after
commencement or public announcement of a tender offer for 25% or more of the
Company's common stock. The rights, which are non-voting, expire on February
14, 1996 unless
15
<PAGE>
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (continued)
extended and may be redeemed by the Company at a price of $.05 per right at
any time prior to their expiration or prior to the acquisition by a party or
group of 20% of the Company's common stock, unless approved by the Board of
Directors. The participating preferred stock to be purchased upon exercise of
the rights will be nonredeemable.
In the event the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction after the rights become exercisable, provision shall
be made so that each holder of a right shall have the right to receive, upon
exercise thereof and payment of the then current exercise price, that number
of shares of common stock of the surviving company which at the time of such
transaction would have a market value of two times the exercise price of the
right. If the Company is the surviving company, each holder would have the
right to receive for the then current exercise price preferred stock of the
Company with a market value of two times the exercise price.

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The effect of the
adoption of FASB Statement No. 109 on the 1992 income tax provision was not
significant. However, the cumulative effect of this change to January 1, 1992
resulted in a $942,000 charge to 1992 earnings.
Income tax payments, net of refunds, amounted to $302,000, $1,329,000 and
$187,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Note 14: Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering
substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on the employee's
years of service and career average compensation. Pension costs are generally
funded to the extent of tax deductible amounts. Contributions are intended to
provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for
those expected to be earned in the forthcoming year. The Company also
contributes to a multi-employer plan, which provides defined benefits, as
required by collective bargaining agreements.
A summary of the components of net periodic pension cost of the defined
benefit plan and the total contributions charged to pension expense for the
multi-employer plan follows:

of the discontinued Fermont division. Net periodic pension cost for the
defined benefit plan for 1992 includes $83,000 of additional charges under
FASB Statement No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,"
relating to an early retirement offer at one of the Company's divisions.

The 1993 change in the discount rate from 7.75% to 7.50% resulted in a
$689,000 increase in the projected benefit obligation. Plan assets are
invested in cash equivalents, guaranteed investment contracts, and equity
stocks, including common stock of the Company having a market value of
$1,500,000 and $1,300,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Information concerning the Company's share of related estimated plan benefits
and assets is not available for the multi-employer plan.
The Company has a Savings and Investment Plan for all employees not covered
by collective bargaining agreements, which qualifies as a profit sharing plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's
contributions under the Plan are based on specified percentages of employee
contributions and were $342,000 (1993), $316,000 (1992) and $578,000 (1991).
Note 15: Contingencies
The Company is a supplier to the United States Government under contracts and
subcontracts on which there are cost allocation, cost allowability and
compliance issues under examination by various agencies or departments of the
Federal government. In the course of the resolution of these issues, the
Company may be required to adjust certain prices or refund certain payments
on its government contracts and subcontracts. The Company believes that any
such price adjustments or refunds will not have a materially adverse effect
on the financial position of the Company.
In April, 1992, the Company submitted a proposed change order to the
Government seeking several million dollars in equitable compensation for
constructive changes made by the Government to a contract for the supply of
3KW generator sets to be manufactured by the Company's discontinued Fermont
division. The Company is not able to predict the outcome of its proposed
change order at this time. The Government has executed a contract
modification to continue prototype testing of the 3KW generator set which
resumed in September 1993. Negotiations on a possible settlement of the
proposed change order, which commenced in late May 1993, have recently
resumed after a delay by the Government.
The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA") that it is a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") regarding
hazardous waste cleanup at a non-Company site in Connecticut and at a Company
site in California. Certain of the PRPs at the Connecticut site have agreed
with the EPA to fund a feasibility study at the site and have sued the
Company and other PRPs who have not agreed to share the costs. A property
owner neighboring the Company site in California has sued the Company and
others for allegedly causing contamination at the neighbor's property. In
addition, the Company has received notice from a state environmental agency
that it is a PRP with respect to a non-Company site in Pennsylvania, and is
also a defendant in two lawsuits seeking contribution towards the Superfund
cleanup costs relating to two other non-Company sites in that state. Based
upon its knowledge of the extent of the Company's exposure and current
statutes, rules and regulations, management believes that the anticipated
costs resulting from claims and proceedings with respect to the above
mentioned sites, including remediation, the extent and cost of which are
presently unknown, will not materially affect the financial position of the
Company.
With respect to other claims and actions against the Company, it is the
opinion of Management that they will not have a material effect on the
financial position of the Company.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dynamics Corporation of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dynamics
Corporation of America as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. The financial statements of CTS Corporation (a corporation in
which the Company had a 37.3% interest at December 31, 1993) have been
audited by other auditors whose report, which included an explanatory
paragraph for CTS Corporation's accounting changes discussed in Note 5 to
these consolidated financial statements, has been furnished to us; insofar as
our opinion on the consolidated financial statements relates to data included
for CTS Corporation, it is based solely on their report.
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 and the report
of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Dynamics Corporation of
America at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1992 the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes. As discussed in
Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993 CTS Corporation
changed its method of accounting for income taxes and post-retirement health
care and life insurance benefits.

Segments of Business
During 1993 the Company continued its operations in a number of manufacturing
businesses conducted by four divisions and a subsidiary, each of which
operates as a separate unit and each of which maintains its own sales,
administration, accounting, marketing, engineering and manufacturing
operations. Corporate headquarters determines policy and provides such
services as legal counsel, accounting, financing, cash management, auditing,
insurance, public relations and long-range planning guidance.
The methods of distribution and marketing utilized by the Company vary by
operation. In general, sales for all the Company's segments combine some
direct selling in certain market areas with appropriate manufacturers'
representatives, wholesalers, distributors and/or dealers.
The operations are classified into three industry segments: electrical
appliances and electronic devices, fabricated metal products and equipment,
and power and controlled environmental systems.
Segments are grouped according to similarities in profitability, risk, growth
potential, material and labor composition of products and/or capital
requirements.
These segments accounted for the following net sales, operating results and
other financial data for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993:

Part I
Item 1. Business
INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
The registrant, CTS Corporation (CTS or Company), is an Indiana
corporation incorporated in 1929 as a successor to a company
started in 1896. CTS' principal executive offices are located at
905 West Boulevard North, Elkhart, Indiana 46514, telephone
number (219) 293-7511.
CTS designs, manufactures and sells electronic components. The
engineering and manufacturing of CTS products is performed at 15
facilities worldwide. CTS products are sold through sales
engineers, sales representatives, agents and distributors.
In March 1987, a settlement was announced between CTS and
Dynamics Corporation of America (DCA), terminating the sale
process of the Company and resolving all disputes between CTS and
DCA. Subsequently, the United States Supreme Court held that the
Control Share Acquisition Chapter was constitutional. As a
result of the Court's decision, the issue of voting rights of
1,020,000 shares of CTS common stock acquired by DCA in 1986 was
submitted to a vote of CTS stockholders at the 1987 annual
meeting. A majority of all shares eligible to vote was necessary
to grant voting rights. DCA was not eligible to vote on the
issue. The stockholders voted not to grant voting rights to DCA
on these shares. The Court's decision did not have an impact
with respect to voting rights on additional shares of CTS common
stock previously acquired by DCA. In May 1988, the settlement
agreement expired pursuant to its terms. At the end of 1993, DCA
owned 1,920,900 shares (37.3%) of CTS common stock, including the
1,020,000 shares without voting rights.
In January 1990, the Company formally announced the closing of
its Switch Division located in Paso Robles, California. The Paso
Robles manufacturing operations were relocated to the Company's
facilities in Taiwan and Bentonville, Arkansas. During 1992, the
Company completed the sale of the Paso Robles manufacturing plant
and most of the associated real estate for $1.9 million. A pre-
tax gain of $0.9 was realized from the sale. The manufacturing
operations for certain variable resistor and selector switch
products, which formerly were performed in Elkhart, Indiana, were
also transferred to Bentonville in 1990, to take advantage of any
efficiencies to be gained in consolidating such operations in
Bentonville. The buildings located in Elkhart which housed the
plastics molding, and element production, were vacated, with
these manufacturing operations being consolidated into the main
Elkhart plant.
CTS announced in July 1990 that its facility near Glasgow,
Scotland, would be expanded in order to manufacture and sell
additional electronic products in Europe. The total capital
3
<PAGE>
investment has been approximately $10 million as of December 31,
1993. Automotive throttle position sensors and precision and
clock oscillators were added to the product lines already
manufactured in Scotland. The decision to expand the Scottish
facility was based on several factors, including the excellent
business climate and skills base in Scotland and the anticipated
full participation of the United Kingdom in the European Economic
Community. The expansion of the Scotland facility represents a
major effort by CTS to serve the large and rapidly growing
European market on a direct basis.
In November 1991, construction was completed on a 53,000 square
foot manufacturing facility in Bangkok, Thailand. During 1992,
the Company idled operations at this facility.
Also during 1991, the Company significantly reduced the operating
activities at its Brownsville, Texas, facility and plans to sell
this property.
The manufacturing space owned by CTS in Hong Kong, which
consisted of two floors in a multi-story building, was sold in
March 1991. One floor was leased back by CTS for the
continuation of its manufacturing operations in Hong Kong.
During 1992, the Company terminated this lease and discontinued
its manufacturing operations in Hong Kong.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
All of the Company's products are considered one industry
segment. Sales to unaffiliated customers, operating profit and
identifiable assets, by geographic area, are contained in "Note I
- Business Segment and Non-U.S. Operations," pages 21-22 , of
the CTS Corporation 1993 Annual Report, and is incorporated
herein by reference.
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS AND PRODUCTS OF CTS

Products for the data processing market include resistor
networks, frequency control devices, programmable switches and
hybrid microcircuits. Products for this market are principally
used in computers and computer peripheral equipment.
In the communications equipment market, CTS products include
frequency control devices, switches and resistor networks.
Products for this market are principally used in telephone
equipment and in telephone switching systems.
CTS products for the defense and aerospace market, usually
procured through government contractors or subcontractors, are
electronic connectors, hybrid microcircuits, backpanels,
frequency control devices and programmable key storage devices.
Products for the instruments and controls market include hybrid
microcircuits, variable resistors and switches. Principal end
uses are medical electronic devices and electronic testing,
measuring and servicing instruments.
In the distribution market, CTS' primary products include
programmable switches, resistor networks and frequency control
devices. In this market, standard CTS products are sold for a
wide variety of applications.
Products for the consumer electronics market, primarily variable
resistors and switches, are principally used in home
entertainment equipment and appliances.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Sales of CTS electronic components to original equipment
manufacturers are principally by CTS sales engineers and
manufacturers representatives. CTS maintains sales offices in
Elkhart, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; and in the United Kingdom,
Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Various regions of the United
States are serviced by sales engineers working out of their
homes. The sale of electronic components is relatively
integrated such that most of the product lines of CTS are sold
through the same field sales force. Approximately 36% of net
sales in 1993 were attributable to coverage by CTS sales
engineers.
Generally, CTS sales engineers service the Company's largest
customers with application specific products. CTS sales
engineers work closely with major customers in determining
customer requirements and in designing CTS products to be
provided to such customers.
CTS uses the services of independent sales representatives and
distributors in the United States and foreign countries for
customers not serviced by CTS sales engineers. Sales represen-
tatives receive commissions from CTS. During 1993, about 60% of
net sales were attributable to coverage by sales representatives.
Independent distributors purchase products from CTS for resale to
customers. In 1993, independent distributors accounted for about
4% of net sales.
6
<PAGE>
RAW MATERIALS
Generally, CTS' major raw materials are steel, copper, brass,
certain precious metals, resistive and conductive inks, passive
components and semiconductors, used in several CTS products;
ceramic materials used particularly in resistor networks and
hybrid microcircuits; synthetic quartz used in frequency control
devices; and laminate material used in printed circuit boards.
These raw materials are purchased from several vendors, and
except for certain semiconductors, CTS does not believe that it
is dependent on one or on a very few vendors. In 1993 all of
these materials were available in adequate quantities to meet
CTS' production demands.
The Company does not presently anticipate any raw material short-
ages which would significantly affect production. However, the
lead times between the placement of orders for certain raw mater-
ials and actual delivery to CTS are quite variable, and the
Company may from time to time be required to order raw materials
in quantities and at prices less than optimal to compensate for
the variability of lead times for delivery.
Precious metals prices have a significant effect on the
manufacturing cost and selling prices of many CTS products,
particularly some programmable switches, electronic connectors
and resistor networks. CTS has continuing programs to reduce the
precious metals content of several products, when consistent with
customer specifications.
WORKING CAPITAL
CTS does not usually buy inventories or manufacture products
without actual or reasonably anticipated customer orders, except
for some standard, off-the-shelf distributor products. The
Company is not generally required to carry significant amounts of
inventories to meet rapid delivery requirements because most
customer orders are for custom products. CTS has entered into
"just-in-time" arrangements with certain major customers in order
to meet customers' just-in-time delivery needs.
CTS carries raw materials, including certain semiconductors, and
certain work-in-process and finished goods inventories which are
unique to a particular customer or to a small number of
customers, and in the event of reductions in or cancellations of
orders, some inventories are not useable or cannot be returned to
vendors for credit. CTS generally imposes charges for the
reduction or cancellation of orders by customers, and these
charges are usually sufficient to cover the financial exposure of
CTS to inventories which are unique to a customer. CTS does not
customarily grant special return privileges or payment privileges
to customers, although CTS' distributor program permits certain
returns. CTS' working capital requirements are generally
cyclical but not seasonal.
7
<PAGE>
Working capital requirements are generally dependent on the
overall business level. During 1993, working capital decreased
slightly to $47.4 million. Cash represents a significant part of
the Company's working capital. Most of CTS' cash at December 31,
1993, was held in U.S.-denominated cash equivalents for the
credit of the various non-U.S. operations. The cash, other than
approximately $5 million, is generally available to the parent
Company.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
CTS maintains a program of obtaining and protecting U.S. and
non U.S. patents and trademarks. CTS believes that the success of
its business is not materially dependent on the existence or
duration of any patent, group of patents or trademarks.
CTS licenses the manufacture of several electronic products to
companies in the United States and non U.S. countries. In 1993
license and royalty income was 0.03% of net sales. CTS believes
that the success of its business is not materially dependent upon
any licensing arrangement where CTS is either the licensor or
licensee.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS
CTS' 15 largest customers represented about 62%, 58% and 59% of
net sales in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Of the net sales to unaffiliated customers, approximately $40.1
million, $30.7 million and $29.9 million were derived from sales
to General Motors Corporation in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. About $24.0 million, $19.3 million and $23.5
million were derived from sales to International Business
Machines Corporation in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. CTS
is dependent upon these and other customers for a significant
percentage of its sales and profits, and the loss of one or more
of these customers or reduction of orders by one or more of these
customers would have a materially adverse effect upon the
Company.
BACKLOG OF ORDERS
Backlog of orders does not necessarily provide an accurate
indication of present or future business levels for CTS. For
many electronic products, the period between receipt of orders
and delivery is relatively short. For large orders from major
customers that may constitute backlog over an extended period of
8
<PAGE>
time, production scheduling and delivery are subject to change or
cancellation by the customers on relatively short notice. At the
end of 1993, the Company's backlog of orders was $70.5 million,
compared with $64.0 million at the end of 1992. This increase
was primarily attributable to increased demand from automotive
customers.
The backlog of orders at the end of 1993 will generally be filled
during the 1994 fiscal year.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
CTS believes that about 12% of its net sales are associated with
purchases by the U.S. Government or foreign governments,
principally for defense and aerospace applications. Because most
CTS products procured through government contractors and
subcontractors are for military end uses, the level of defense
and aerospace market sales by CTS is dependent upon government
budgeting and funding of programs utilizing electronic systems.
Almost all CTS sales involving government purchases are to
primary government contractors or subcontractors. CTS is usually
subject to contract provisions permitting termination of the
contract, usually with penalties payable by the government;
maintenance of specified accounting procedures; limitations on
and renegotiations of profits; priority production scheduling;
and possible penalties or fines against CTS for late delivery or
substandard quality. Such contract provisions have not previously
resulted in material uncertainties or disruptions for CTS.
COMPETITION
CTS competes with many domestic and non U.S. manufacturers prin-
cipally on the basis of product features, price, engineering,
quality, reliability, delivery and service. Most product lines
of CTS encounter significant competition. The number of
significant competitors varies from product line to product line.
No single competitor competes with CTS in every product line, but
many competitors are larger and more diversified than CTS. Some
competitors are divisions or affiliates of customers. CTS is
subject to competitive risks typical in the electronics industry
such as shorter product life cycles and new products causing
existing products to become obsolete.
Some customers have reduced or plan to reduce the number of
suppliers while increasing the volume of purchases from
independent suppliers. Most customers are demanding higher
quality, reliability and delivery standards from CTS as well as
competitors. These trends may create opportunities for CTS while
also increasing the risk of loss of business to competitors.
9
<PAGE>
The Company believes that it competes most successfully in custom
products manufactured to meet specific applications of major
original equipment manufacturers.
CTS believes that it has some advantages over certain competitors
because of its ability to apply a broad range of technologies and
materials capabilities to develop products for the special
requirements of customers. CTS also believes that it has an
advantage over some competitors in its capability to sell a broad
range of products manufactured to relatively consistent standards
of quality and delivery. CTS believes that the relative breadth
of its product lines and relative consistency in quality and
delivery across product lines is an advantage to CTS in selling
products to customers.
CTS believes that it is one of the largest manufacturers of
automotive throttle position sensors.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC
OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
Information about revenue from sales to unaffiliated customers,
operating profit and identifiable assets, by geographic area, is
contained in "Note I - Business Segment and Non-U.S. Operations,"
pages 21-22 of the CTS Corporation 1993 Annual Report, and is
incorporated herein by reference.
In 1993 approximately 28% of net sales to unaffiliated customers,
after eliminations, were attributable to non-U.S. operations.
This represents an increase from 24% of net sales attributable to
non-U.S. operations in 1992. About 39% of total CTS assets,
after eliminations, are non-U.S. Except for cash and
equivalents, a substantial portion of these assets cannot readily
be liquidated. CTS believes that the business risks attendant to
its present non-U.S. operations, though substantial, are normal
risks for non-U.S. businesses, including expropriation, currency
controls and changes in currency exchange rates and government
regulations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
In 1993, 1992 and 1991, CTS spent $5.7, $6.1 and $5.7 million,
respectively, for research and development. Most CTS research
and development activities relate to new product and process
developments or the improvement of product materials. Many such
research and development activities are for the benefit of one or
a limited number of customers or potential customers.
During 1993, the Company did not enter into any new, significant
product lines, but continued to introduce additional versions of
existing products in response to present and future customer
requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAWS
In complying with federal, state and local environmental
protection laws, CTS has modified certain manufacturing processes
and expects to continue to make additional modifications. Such
modifications that have been performed have not materially
affected the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position of CTS.
Certain processes in the manufacture of the Company's current and
past products create hazardous waste by-products as currently
defined by federal and state laws and regulations. The Company
has been notified by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency,
state environmental agencies and, in some cases, generator
groups, that it is or may be a Potentially Responsible Party
(PRP) regarding hazardous waste remediation at several non-CTS
sites. The factual circumstances of each site are different; the
Company has determined that its role as a PRP with respect to
these sites, even in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition,
based on the following: 1) the Company's status as a de minimis
party; 2) the large number of other PRPs identified; 3) the
identification and participation of many larger PRPs who are
financially viable; 4) defenses concerning the nature and limited
quantities of materials sent by the Company to certain of the
sites; and 5) the Company's experience to-date in relation to the
determination of its allocable share. In addition to these non-
CTS sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing
reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its
manufacturing locations and for claims and proceedings against
the Company with respect to other environmental matters. In the
opinion of management, based upon presently available
information, either adequate provision for probable costs has
been made, or the ultimate costs resulting will not materially
affect the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
There are claims against the Company with respect to
environmental matters which the Company contests. In the opinion
of management, based upon presently available information, either
adequate provision for potential costs has been made, or the
costs which ultimately might result will not materially affect
the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
EMPLOYEES
CTS employed an average of 3,975 persons during 1993. About 47%
of these persons were employed outside the United States at the
end of 1993. Approximately 309 employees in the United States
were covered by collective bargaining agreements as of December
31, 1993. The two collective bargaining agreements covering
these employees will expire in 1996.

The Company is currently seeking to sell some, or all, of the
Streetsville, Ontario, Canada, facility and related property, and
the Brownsville, Texas, manufacturing building.
The Company constructed the Bangkok, Thailand, facility during
1991. This facility was idled during 1992 and was idle for all
of 1993.
The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its manufacturing
facilities for manufacturing capacity, available labor and
location to the markets and major customers for the Company's
products. CTS also reviews the operating costs of its facilities
and may from time to time relocate facilities or certain manufac-
turing activities in order to achieve operating cost reductions
and improved asset utilization and cash flow.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Contested claims involving various matters, including
environmental claims brought by government agencies, are being
litigated by CTS, both in legal and administrative forums. In
the opinion of management, based upon currently available
information, adequate provision for potential costs has been
made, or the costs which might ultimately result from such
litigation or administrative proceedings will not materially
affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or the
results of operations.

Indemnification Undertaking
For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the
rules governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the
Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be
incorporated by reference into registrant's Registration
Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-84230 (filed June 13, 1983)
and 33-27749 (filed March 23, 1989):
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provision, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is principally determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful
lives of the assets principally on the straight-line method.
Goodwill: The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired is amortized on the straight-line method over the
periods expected to be benefited.
Retirement Plans: The Company has various defined benefit and defined
contribution retirement plans covering a majority of its employees.
The Company's policy is to annually fund the defined benefit pension
plans at or above the minimums required under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Research and Development: Research and development costs consist of
expenditures incurred during the course of planned search and
investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge which will be useful
in developing new products or processes, or significantly enhancing
existing products or production processes, and the implementation of
such through design, testing of product alternatives or construction of
prototypes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as
they are incurred.
Income Taxes: The Company provides deferred income taxes for
transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and
income tax return purposes pursuant to the requirements of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109. The underlying
differences consist primarily of depreciation differences, pension
income, postemployment benefits, certain nondeductible accruals and
inventory reserves.
Translation of Foreign Currencies: The financial statements of all of
the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries, except the United Kingdom
subsidiary, are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the U.S. dollar as
the functional currency with all translation adjustments included in
the determination of net income. The financial statements of the
Company's United Kingdom subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars
principally at the current exchange rate with resulting translation
adjustments made directly to the "Cumulative translation adjustment"
component of stockholders' equity.
<PAGE>
NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial Instruments: The Company's financial instruments consist
primarily of cash, cash equivalents and obligations under notes payable
and long-term debt. In accordance with the requirements of FASB
Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, the Company is providing the following fair value
estimates and information regarding valuation methodologies. The
carrying value for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Interest rates on substantially all of the notes payable and long-term
debt fluctuate based on market rates. The carrying value for these
borrowings approximates fair value.
Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less from the purchase date to be
cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells its products to
customers primarily in the automotive, data processing, communications
equipment and defense and aerospace industries, primarily in North
America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers to minimize credit risk. The
Company generally does not require collateral.
Accounting Changes: Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 106, Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions and FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. For postretirement benefits, the Company
changed its practice from expensing these costs as incurred to accruing
these costs during the employees' active working careers. For income
taxes, the Company changed its practice from following FASB Statement
No. 96, of the same title, which required a similar approach in
computing deferred income taxes. The primary change was to recognize
deferred tax benefits that were not recognized under FASB Statement No.
96.
ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 17
Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding.
<PAGE>
NOTE B - Sale of Property and Other Related Provisions
During 1992, the Company sold the assets of its tool, die and machinery
business recognizing a pretax gain of $587,000. Also, during 1992, the
Company sold its Paso Robles, California, manufacturing plant and most
of the associated real estate and recognized a net pretax gain of
$886,000. Additionally, during 1992, the Company incurred $621,000 of
expense to close its remaining Hong Kong manufacturing operations.
During 1991, the Company completed the sale of its Hong Kong
manufacturing facility for $5,720,000 and signed an agreement to lease
back a portion of the space for its manufacturing needs. A pretax
gain of $3,587,000 was realized on the sale, and the proceeds were used
to reduce debt. Also, during 1991, the Company provided $1,730,000 for
planned further restructuring of several of its businesses, including
$614,000 relating to Hong Kong.
NOTE C - Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings consist of demand notes payable to various banks
with an average interest rate of 4.4% at December 31, 1993, 4.8% at
December 31, 1992, and 7.0% at December 31, 1991. The notes were
issued in connection with unsecured lines of credit arrangements, the
unused portions of which totaled $5,977,000 at December 31, 1993.
These arrangements are generally subject to annual renewal and
renegotiation, and may be withdrawn at the banks' option.
Average daily short-term borrowings, including borrowings denominated
in non-U.S. currencies, during 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $12,051,000,
$6,269,000 and $7,039,000, respectively. The weighted average interest
rates, computed by relating interest expense to average daily short-
term borrowings, were 4.3% in 1993, 5.4% in 1992 and 6.9% in 1991.
The maximum amount of short-term borrowings at the end of any month
during 1993, 1992 and 1991 was $13,842,000, $8,334,000 and $8,501,000,

The Company has a discretionary Restricted Stock and Cash Bonus Plan
(Plan) which reserves 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock
for sale, at market price or below, or award to key employees.
Shares awarded or sold are subject to restrictions against transfer
and repurchase rights of the Company. In general, restrictions lapse
at the rate of 20% per year beginning one year from the award or
sale. In addition, the Plan provides for a cash bonus to the
participant equal to the fair market value of the shares on the dates
restrictions lapse, in the case of an award, or the excess of the
fair market value over the original purchase price if the shares were
purchased. The total bonus paid to any participant during the
restricted period is limited to twice the fair market value of the
shares on the date of award or sale.
Under the Plan during 1993, 1,000 shares were awarded leaving 379,400
shares available for award or sale at December 31, 1993. During
1992, 6,000 shares were awarded and 2,400 shares were forfeited due
to terminations. No shares were awarded during 1991. In addition to
the shares issued and the amortization of deferred compensation
included in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, the
Company accrued $68,000, $82,000 and $75,000 for additional
compensation payable under the provisions of the Plan in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.
<PAGE>
NOTE F - Stock Plans (continued)
The Company has a Stock Retirement Plan for nonemployee Directors.
This retirement plan provides for a portion of the total compensation
payable to nonemployee Directors to be deferred and paid in Company
stock. Compensation of $8,000, $7,000 and $15,000 was recognized
under this plan in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
<PAGE>
NOTE G - Employee Retirement Plans
Defined benefit plans
The Company has a number of noncontributory defined benefit pension
plans (Plans) covering approximately 43% of its employees. Plans
covering salaried employees provide pension benefits that are based
on the employees' compensation prior to retirement. Plans covering
hourly employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for
each year of service.
ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 19
Net pension income for the Plans in 1993, 1992 and 1991 includes the
following components:
(In thousands)
1993 1992 1991

Assumptions used in determining net pension income and the funded
status of U.S. defined benefit pension plans were as follows:
<PAGE>
NOTE G - Employee Retirement Plans (continued)
1993 1992 1991
Discount rates 7.25% 7.75% 7.75%
Rates of increase in compensation
levels (salaried plan only) 5%-7% 5%-7% 5%-7%
Expected long-term rate of return
on assets 10% 10% 10%
Effective with the December 31, 1993, measurement date, the
discount rate was revised to 7.25% from 7.75% to better reflect
current market conditions. As a result of the change in discount
rates, the December 31, 1993, projected benefit obligation
increased by $3,500,000. The change in discount rates had no
effect on 1993 pension income, but will reduce future annual
pension income by $130,000.
The majority of U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets are
invested in common stock, including $3,933,000 in CTS common
stock, U.S. government bonds and cash and equivalents. The
balance is invested in corporate bonds, a private equity fund,
non-U.S. bonds and convertible issues.
Because the domestic plans are fully funded, the Company made no
contributions to the U.S. Plans during 1993, 1992 or 1991.
Benefits paid by all Plans during 1993, 1992, and 1991 were
$4,289,000, $3,900,000 and $3,707,000, respectively.
Contributions of $174,000, $223,000 and $164,000 were made to the
non-U.S. Plans in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Defined contribution plans
The Company sponsors a 401(k) Plan and several other defined
contribution plans which cover some of its non-U.S. employees and
its domestic hourly employees not covered by a defined benefit
pension plan. Contributions and costs are generally determined
as a percentage of the covered employees' annual salary. Amounts
expensed for the 401(k) Plan and the other plans totaled
$2,532,000 in 1993, $1,998,000 in 1992 and $1,915,000 in 1991.
Postretirement health and life insurance plans
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides
certain health care and life insurance programs for retired
employees. Substantially all of the Company's domestic employees
become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal
retirement age while working for the Company. Effective January
1, 1993, the Company implemented, on the immediate recognition
basis, FASB Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
<PAGE>
NOTE G - Employee Retirement Plans (continued)
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" which resulted in a
noncash charge of $5,096,000, net of an income tax benefit of
$3,123,000, or $.99 per share.
ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 20
Summary information on the Company's plans as of December 31,
1993, is as follows:
(In thousands)
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Active employees $(1,479)
Retirees and dependents (5,560)
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (7,039)
Fair value of plan assets
Funded status (7,039)
Unrecognized net gain (187)
Postretirement benefit obligation $(7,226)
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined
using relevant actuarial assumptions and the terms of the
Company's medical, dental and life insurance plans, including the
effects of capped Company contribution rates and discontinuance
of Company payments toward retiree health and dental insurance
effective January 1, 1996. The effect of a 1.0% annual increase
in the assumed medical inflation rate of zero would be
insignificant. Measurement of the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was based on a 7.75% discount rate at January
1, 1993, and at 7.25% at December 31, 1993. The discount rate
was revised to better reflect current market conditions. The
change in discount rates did not significantly change the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, had no effect on
the 1993 postretirement expense and will not have a significant
impact on future annual postretirement expense.
The Company funds medical and dental costs as incurred and funds
life insurance benefits through term life insurance policies.
The Company plans to continue funding these benefits on a pay-as-
you-go basis. The components of net periodic postretirement
benefit expense for 1993 are as follows:
(In Thousands)
Service cost-benefits earned during period $ 43
Interest cost on accumulated benefit obligation 637
Net expense $680
<PAGE>
NOTE H - Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FASB
Statement No. 109 replaced FASB Statement No. 96, of the same
title, which the Company previously used to account for income
taxes. The effect of adopting FASB Statement No. 109 is to
recognize deferred tax benefits that were not recognized under
FASB Statement No. 96. The cumulative effect of the change in
the method of accounting for income taxes as of the beginning of
1993 increased earnings by $482,000 or $.10 per share. Prior
years' financial statements have not been restated to reflect the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 109. The information disclosed
for 1992 and 1991 is computed under the requirements of FASB
Statement No. 96.
The components of earnings before income taxes and cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles comprise the

Undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries amounting to
$34,300,000 at December 31, 1993, are intended to be permanently
invested and accordingly, no provision has been made for non-U.S.
withholding taxes on these earnings. In the event all undistributed
earnings were remitted, approximately $4,000,000 of withholding tax
would be imposed.
The Company has tax basis net operating loss carryforwards and
business credit carryforwards of approximately $25,200,000 and
$3,000,000, respectively, at December 31, 1993. A portion,
$15,400,000, of the net operating loss and all of the business credit
carryforwards expire between the years 2000 and 2006. The remainder
of the net operating loss carryforwards has an unlimited carryforward
period. In addition, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $867,000, which have no expiration
date.

NOTE K - Contingencies
Certain processes in the manufacture of the Company's current and past
products create hazardous waste by-products as currently defined by
federal and state laws and regulations. The Company has been notified by
the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, state environmental agencies
and, in some cases, generator groups, that it is or may be a Potentially
Responsible Party (PRP) regarding hazardous waste remediation at several
non-CTS sites. The factual circumstances of each site are different; the
Company has determined that its role as a PRP with respect to these
sites, even in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business or financial condition, based on the following:
1) the Company's status as a de minimis party; 2) the large number of
other PRPs identified; 3) the identification and participation of many
larger PRPs who are financially viable; 4) defenses concerning the nature
and limited quantities of materials sent by the Company to certain of the
sites; and/or 5) the Company's experience to-date in relation to the
determination of its allocable share. In addition to these non-CTS
sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for
probable remediation activities at certain of its manufacturing locations
and for claims and proceedings against the Company with respect to other
environmental matters. In the opinion of management, based upon
presently available information, either adequate provision for probable
costs has been made, or the ultimate costs resulting will not materially
affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
Certain claims are pending against the Company with respect to matters
arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. In the opinion of
management, based upon presently available information, either adequate
provision for anticipated costs has been made by insurance, accruals or
otherwise, or the ultimate anticipated costs resulting will not
materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
NOTE L - Related Party Transactions
Dynamics Corporation of America (DCA) owned 1,920,900 shares (37.3%) of

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PRICE WATERHOUSE
To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors of CTS Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of CTS Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1993,
and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes by adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Also effective January 1, 1993, the
Company changed its method of accounting for postretirement healthcare
and life insurance benefits by adopting, on an immediate recognition
basis, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."

During 1993, positive cash flow from operating activities increased by
$4.7 million from 1992, primarily due to the $9.6 million increase in
sales, which resulted in a $4.7 million increase in earnings before
accounting changes.
Cash flow in 1992 from operating activities was $3.2 million below
that generated in 1991, primarily due to the 1992 earnings decline of
$2.3 million, payment of various restructuring costs and tooling
expenditures. Our efforts to improve collection of receivables,
reduce inventories and better manage payables offset payments for
income taxes and other liabilities, but not the reduced earnings and
payments for tooling.
A significant noncash component of operating earnings during the 1991
to 1993 period was pension income of $6.0 million in 1993, $4.9
million in 1992 and $4.9 million in 1991. During 1993, the Company
paid $4.3 million in benefits and no cash contributions were required.
As a result of the Company's overfunded pension position, no cash
contributions are anticipated to be required in the immediate future
to meet the Company's pension benefit obligations.
<PAGE>
The major investment activity during the last three years was capital
expenditures, which totaled $11.7 million in 1993, $8.8 million in
1992 and $16.0 million in 1991. The major capital expenditures in
1993 were for new products and product line enhancements, as well as
selected capacity increases. The decrease in 1992 from 1991 reflects
the significant one-time investments made in 1991, which included $8.9
million for facility expansions in Scotland and Thailand. The Company
expects to increase its capital expenditures in 1994 over 1993 levels.
These capital expenditures primarily will be for new products and cost
reduction programs.
The net cash used for financing activities in 1993 primarily reflects
loan renegotiations which reduced certain non-U.S. long-term debt and
increased short-term borrowings, and additional short-term borrowings
at certain non-U.S. locations. The primary financing use of cash in
1992 was the elective paydown of $1.7 million in debt, compared to
increases in debt of $2.9 million in 1991.
Dividends paid in 1993 were $2.1 million, compared to $3.9 million in
1992 and $3.8 million in 1991. In response to the 1992 decrease in
cash provided by operations, the Company reduced its annual quarterly
dividend from $.1875 to $.10 per share effective with its February
1993 payment.
At the end of 1993, 1992 and 1991, most of the Company's cash was held
in U.S.-denominated cash equivalents for the credit of the various
non-U.S. subsidiaries. The cash, other than approximately $5 million,
is available to the parent Company.
At the end of 1993, CTS had $49.0 million of borrowing capacity, of
which $45.0 million was available under two long-term revolving credit
agreements, both of which were renegotiated in 1993. The U.S.
revolving agreement of $45.0 million, which expires in April 1997, is
the Company's primary credit vehicle and, together with cash from
operations, should adequately fund the Company's anticipated cash
needs.

From 1992 to 1993, total sales increased by 4.2%, primarily due to
increased sales in our automotive product lines, which more than
offset sales declines in our military connector and frequency controls
products.
From 1991 to 1992 total sales decreased less than 1% as increased
sales of automotive, electrocomponents and microelectronics products
were offset by continued declining demand for resistor and connector
products from our mainframe computer and military customers.
During the three-year period 1991-1993, overall sales have increased
to the automotive market from 22% to 32%, decreased in the defense
and aerospace market from 20% to 12% and remained fairly constant in
our other market areas.
The Company's 15 largest customers represented 62% of net sales in
1993, 58% in 1992 and 59% in 1991. One customer, a major manufacturer
of automobiles, comprised 17% of net sales in 1993, compared with 14%
for 1992 and 13% for 1991. Another customer, a major manufacturer of
data processing equipment, comprised 10% of net sales in 1993,
compared with 8% in 1992 and 10% in 1991.
<PAGE>
Because most of CTS' revenues are derived from the sale of custom
products, the relative contribution to revenues of changes in unit
volume cannot be meaningfully determined. The Company's products are
usually priced with reference to expected or required profit margins,
customer expectations and market competition. Pricing for most of the
Company's electronic component products frequently decreases over time
and also fluctuates in accordance with total industry utilization of
manufacturing capacity.
During 1993, improvement was realized in gross earnings, primarily due
to higher sales volume, production efficiencies and higher absorption
of manufacturing expenses. Gross earnings were relatively similar in
1992 and 1991.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, in dollars and as a
percent of sales, decreased during 1993, primarily as a result of the
cost containment and expense reduction programs in place during the
year. During 1992, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased slightly over 1991. A portion of the higher 1992 expenses
in this area was due to problems caused by defective parts from a
supplier. Also, during 1992, the Company continued to incur start-up
costs in conjunction with its European expansion efforts.
During 1992, the Company continued to dispose of nonproductive assets,
including its closed Paso Robles facility and assets of its tooling
business. These major asset sales generated cash of $2.7 million and
a net pretax gain of $1.5 million.
During 1991, the Company completed the sale of its Hong Kong
manufacturing facility for $5.7 million, realizing a pretax gain of
$3.6 million. After a restructuring provision of $0.6 million, a net
pretax gain of $3.0 million was realized from the Hong Kong facility
sale.
The primary reason for the operating earnings increase in 1993 from
1992 was the increased automotive product sales. The overall decrease
in 1992 operating earnings from 1991 is primarily a result of the 1991
gain on the sale of the Hong Kong property and 1992 losses in our
military connector and frequency control products businesses. A
portion of the frequency control business loss was caused by a
supplier-related defective component, which resulted in direct
expenses of approximately $2.0 million and negatively affected our
1992 and 1993 sales. A settlement was negotiated with this vendor in
1993 and the Company recognized a $2.25 million recovery.
ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 27
The lower effective tax rate for 1993, as compared to 1992, is a
result of improved earnings which resulted in an increase in net
operating loss carryforward utilization. Additionally, several non-
U.S. locations, where no tax benefit was available, incurred losses in
1992 which resulted in the higher 1992 effective tax rate.

The effects of the new accounting pronouncements FASB 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and FASB
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," have been discussed in financial
statement footnotes, Note G and Note H, respectively. Relative to
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1993, the Company believes that the
impact, if any, will be insignificant.
In terms of environmental issues, the Company has been notified by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as state agencies and
generator groups, that it is or may be a Potentially Responsible Party
regarding hazardous waste remediation at non-CTS sites. Additionally,
the Company provides reserves for probable remediation activities at
certain of its manufacturing locations. These issues are discussed in
Note K - Contingencies.
