PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (the "Registrant") is a Delaware
corporation incorporated on November 4, 1985. It is the
successor by merger to Bob Evans Farms, Inc., an Ohio corporation
incorporated in 1957. BEF Holding Co. Inc. is a subsidiary of
the Registrant. Subsidiaries owned by BEF Holding Co. Inc.
include Bob Evans Farms, Inc., an Ohio corporation; Owens Country
Sausage, Inc. ("Owens"); Mrs. Giles Country Kitchens, Inc. ("Mrs.
Giles"); and Hickory Specialties, Inc. ("Hickory Specialties").
The Registrant, BEF Holding Co. Inc., Bob Evans Farms, Inc.,
Owens, Mrs. Giles and Hickory Specialties are collectively
referred to herein as the "Company."
The business of the Company is divided into two principal
industry segments: the food products segment and the restaurant
segment.
Food Products Segment Operations
Principal Products and Procurement Methods
The Company's traditional business in its food products segment
has been the production and distribution of approximately 30
varieties of fresh, smoked and fully-cooked pork sausage and ham
products under the brand names of Bob Evans Farms and Owens
Country Sausage. In recent years, the Company has begun to
expend more time and effort on both new product development and
sales of its pork sausage and ham products to institutional and
foodservice purchasers. In addition, the Company has begun to
explore the expansion of the products offered in its food
products segment through the acquisition of companies producing
food and food related products which complement the Company's
traditional sausage products. During the fiscal year ended April
24, 1992 (the "1992 fiscal year"), sales of sausage products
contributed approximately 91% of such total revenues and sales of
products by Mrs. Giles and Hickory Specialties contributed
approximately 9% of such total revenues. During the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1993 (the "1993 fiscal year"), sales of sausage
products contributed approximately 79% of total revenues and
sales of products by Mrs. Giles and Hickory Specialties
contributed approximately 21% of total revenues. During the
fiscal year ended April 29, 1994 (the "1994 fiscal year"), sales
of sausage products contributed approximately 77% of total
revenues and sales of products by Mrs. Giles and Hickory
Specialties contributed approximately 23% of total revenues.
During the last several years, the Company has expanded its
product line to include convenience items for meals and snacks
that are microwavable. These items include two varieties of
burritos and a variety of biscuit sandwiches. During 1993, the
Company developed Country Lite Sausage for customers looking for
products lower in fat, and is currently marketing the Country
Lite Sausage in all of the Bob Evans Farms market areas. During
1994, the Company developed Bob Evans Homestyle Biscuits and
Gravy, a fully-cooked, microwavable convenience product, which is
currently available in approximately 50% of the Bob Evans Farms
marketing area. This fall, the Company plans to expand
distribution of this product in all of the Bob Evans Farms
marketing area as well as test market it in the Owens Country
Sausage marketing area.
The acquisition of Mrs. Giles in September 1991, has allowed the
Company to expand the products offered in its food products
segment to include fresh prepared salads. The prepared salads
are intended as convenience items for meals, and include deluxe
macaroni salad, Italian pasta salad, homestyle potato salad,
chunky chicken salad, classic cole slaw, pimento cheese spread,
and in 1994, newly introduced smokehouse baked beans. The
refrigerated deli salads manufactured by Mrs. Giles are
distributed principally in the southern and southeastern markets
of the United States under the brand names of Mrs. Giles and Mrs.
Kinser's. In order to fully utilize the Bob Evans Farms
distribution system, the sales territories of Mrs. Giles have
been combined with those of Bob Evans Farms. In April, 1992, the
Company began the introduction of Bob Evans Harvest Salads, a
line of fresh, premium quality, prepared salads, and these salad
products are currently being marketed in most all of the Bob
Evans Farms marketing areas.
The acquisition of Hickory Specialties in March 1992, has allowed
the Company to expand into food and food related products which
complement its existing food products business. Hickory
Specialties produces premium quality charcoal, wood smoking
chips, natural smoke flavorings, gas grill ceramic briquettes and
grilling systems. Brand names of such products include Nature-
Glo, Old Hickory, Jack Daniels and ZestiSmoke. This past year
Hickory Specialties designed a new briquette to be used primarily
with smoker grills. Hickory Specialties' products are marketed
nationwide, and the Company is exploring various opportunities
abroad, especially with respect to its liquid smoke flavorings
products.
During the 1994 fiscal year, the food products segment of the
Company experienced increased sales among its institutional and
foodservice customers. Specialty items, which are made to
customer specifications, and value-added items such as sausage
and biscuits, were successful sellers. Although this segment of
the business does not command the higher pre-tax margins that
branded items do, it gives the Company the opportunity to
increase its volumes and profits. The Company is also marketing
its prepared salad products to institutional and foodservice
customers.
All of the Company's pork sausage and ham products are produced
in the Company's seven processing plants located in Xenia,
Bidwell, and Springfield, Ohio; Hillsdale, Michigan; Galva,
Illinois; and Richardson and Fort Worth, Texas. The Springfield,
Ohio plant is producing the products for sale to foodservice
distributors and also serves as a distribution point for Mrs.
Giles salad products and Owens Country Sausage products.
Live hogs are procured at terminal, local and country markets in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, South
Dakota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, West Virginia,
Missouri and Oklahoma at daily prevailing market prices. The
Company does not contract in advance for the purchase of live
hogs. Live hogs procured in these markets are purchased by an
employee of the Company, who works with brokers and buyers on a
commission basis, at auction through competitive bidding. Live
hogs are then transported overnight directly from the various
markets in which they were purchased to six of the Company's
processing plants where they are slaughtered and processed into
various pork sausage products. These products, in turn, are
shipped daily from the plant facilities for distribution to the
Company's customers. The Company has experienced no difficulty
in procuring live hogs for its pork sausage products and
anticipates no future difficulty in that regard.
All of the Company's prepared salad products are produced at the
Company's plant in Lynchburg, Virginia. Food items used in the
manufacture of the Company's salad products include potatoes,
cheese, eggs, macaroni and other pastas, fresh vegetables,
chicken, tuna and salad dressings. These items are purchased by
the Company directly from various suppliers. The Company
believes that there are a number of suppliers of the items used
in its salad products and that its sources of supply of these
items are adequate for its needs.
The Hickory Specialties charcoal products are produced at the
Company's plant in Crossville, Tennessee, and the Hickory
Specialties liquid smoke flavoring products are produced at the
Company's plants in Crossville, Tennessee; Greenville, Missouri;
and Summer Shade, Kentucky. The principal raw materials used by
the Company in the manufacture of the Hickory Specialties
products are sawdust and other related wood by-products. All are
available from a wide range of suppliers. The Company has
experienced no difficulty in obtaining raw materials for its
Hickory Specialties products and anticipates no future difficulty
in that regard.
Distribution Methods
The Company principally uses the direct store delivery system
(i.e., the Company's products are not warehoused, but are
delivered to grocery stores as described below) for the retail
distribution of the sausage, biscuit, and other products bearing
the Bob Evans Farms brand name, including Bob Evans Harvest
Salads. One hundred eight driver-salesmen, employed by the
Company and driving Company-owned refrigerated trucks, deliver
the Company's products directly to more than 9,000 supermarkets
and independent retail groceries. The Company plans to study and
test in limited geographic areas, alternative distribution
methods of its products during fiscal year 1995. The marketing
territory for Bob Evans Farms brand products as well as the Bob
Evans Harvest Salads includes Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Delaware and the District of Columbia, as well as portions of
Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, Virginia, New York, Tennessee, Missouri and Georgia.
Products distributed under the Owens Country Sausage brand name
are distributed to retail customers in two ways:
(1) Company-owned transport trucks deliver directly to most
major supermarket chain warehouse distribution centers in
the Owens marketing area. Thereafter, the products are
shipped to individual retail outlets.
(2) Thirty-two driver-salesmen, driving Company-owned
refrigerated trucks, deliver products directly to
supermarkets and independent retail groceries.
Owens' marketing territory includes Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Louisiana, Arizona and portions of Mississippi and
Kansas. The Company plans to test market Owens products in
Denver, Colorado, during fiscal year 1995. Owens Country Sausage
products are available in more than 6,000 supermarkets and
independent retail groceries.
Mrs. Giles salad products are distributed to more than 3,500
supermarkets and independent groceries in three ways: (1)
through direct store delivery by Company employees to customers
within the Bob Evans Farms marketing territory; (2) through food
brokers and distributors; and (3) through direct shipment to
customers. The marketing territory for Mrs. Giles salad products
includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Hickory Specialties charcoal products are distributed nationwide
to retail customers, and its liquid smoke flavoring products are
distributed nationally and internationally to food products
manufacturers and pet food manufacturers, through brokers and
distributors and through direct shipment to customers.
Inventory Levels
All of the Company's sausage products and salad products are
highly perishable in nature and require proper refrigeration.
Shelf life of the sausage products ranges from 18 to 45 days; of
the Bob Evans Harvest Salads from 21 to 28 days; and of the Mrs.
Giles salad products from 15 to 45 days. Due to the highly
perishable nature and short shelf life of the Company's sausage
products, the Company's processing plants normally process only
enough product to fill existing orders. Due to the highly
perishable nature and short shelf life of the Company's salad
products, the Company's Lynchburg plant normally processes only
enough product to fill existing orders. Therefore, the Company
maintains minimal inventory levels of sausage products and of
salad products, because such products are generally manufactured
only to meet existing demand and are delivered to retail outlets
within a two- or three-day period after manufacture.
Hickory Specialties products are not perishable in nature.
Although such products are manufactured throughout the year, the
greatest amount of production of charcoal briquettes occurs in
the winter months in anticipation of the peak selling season for
charcoal from April through September.
Trademarks and Service Marks
The Company maintains various trademarks and service marks that
identify various Bob Evans Farms, Owens Country Sausage, Mrs.
Giles and Hickory Specialties products. The principal trademarks
used to identify the Mrs. Giles salad products are Mrs. Giles and
Mrs. Kinser's. The principal trademarks used to identify the
Hickory Specialties charcoal products are Old Hickory, Nature-Glo
and Jack Daniels, and the principal trademark used to identify
the Hickory Specialties liquid smoke flavoring products is
ZestiSmoke. These trademarks and service marks are renewed
periodically and the Company believes that such trademarks and
service marks adequately protect the brand names of the Company.
The operations of the food products segment of the Company are
not dependent upon any patents, licenses, franchises or
concessions.
Competition and Seasonality
The sausage business is highly competitive. It is also seasonal
to the extent that more pounds of fresh sausage are typically
sold during the colder winter months from October through April.
The Company is currently promoting products for summer outdoor
grilling in an attempt to create more volume during the summer
months. The Company competes primarily on the basis of the price
and quality of its sausage products. The Company is in direct
competition with a large number and variety of producers and
wholesalers of similar products, including companies active both
locally and nationally, companies engaged in a general meat
packing business and companies in the same specialized field.
Many of such competitors have substantially greater financial
resources and higher volumes of total sales than the Company.
While the Company does not possess statistics which would enable
it to make an accurate statement of its percentage of total sales
of sausage in each of its market areas, the Company believes that
sales of its products constitute a significant portion of sales
of sausage of comparable price and quality in the majority of its
market areas.
The salad products business is highly competitive. It is also
seasonal to the extent that more salad products are typically
sold during the warmer spring and summer months from April
through September. The Company competes primarily on the basis
of the price and quality of its salad products. The Company is
in direct competition with a large number and variety of
producers and wholesalers of similar products, including
companies active both locally and nationally, companies engaged
in a general deli business and companies in the same specialized
field. Many of such competitors have substantially greater
financial resources and higher volumes of total sales than the
Company. While the Company does not possess statistics which
would enable it to make an accurate statement of its percentage
of total sales of salad products in each of its market areas, the
Company believes that sales of its products constitute a small
portion of sales of salad products of comparable price and
quality in the majority of its market areas.
The charcoal business is highly competitive. The charcoal
business is also seasonal to the extent that more charcoal
products are typically sold during the warmer spring and summer
months from April through September. The Company competes
primarily on the basis of the price and quality of its charcoal
products. The Company is in direct competition with a large
number and variety of producers and wholesalers of similar
products, including companies active both locally and nationally.
Many of such competitors have substantially greater financial
resources and higher volumes of total sales than the Company.
While the Company does not possess statistics which would enable
it to make an accurate statement of its percentage of total sales
of charcoal products in each of its market areas, the Company
believes that the sales of its products constitute a small
portion of sales of charcoal products of comparable price and
quality in the majority of its market areas.
The Company is aware of only one major competitor, Red Arrow
Products Co., Inc., in its liquid smoke flavoring business. The
Company believes that it produces approximately 70% of the liquid
smoke flavorings produced and sold in the United States and that
this competitor accounts for approximately 30% of the liquid
smoke flavorings produced and sold in the United States.
Advertising
During the 1994 fiscal year, the Company spent approximately
$9,784,000 for advertising of its sausage and salad products, and
approximately $304,000 for advertising of its charcoal and liquid
smoke flavoring products. Approximately 80% of this amount was
spent on television, radio and newspaper media. The remaining
20% was spent for various promotional programs throughout the
year in an attempt to maintain and gain market share for its
products.
Dependence on a Single Customer
The Company's food products are sold through more than 15,000
retail grocery stores and are available through such stores to
approximately 46% of the population of the continental United
States. The Company's charcoal products are sold nationwide and
its liquid smoke flavoring products are sold nationally and
internationally. The Company is not dependent upon a single
customer or group of affiliated customers.
Sales on Credit; Aged Product
The Company typically allows seven to 30 days' dating on the
sales of its products. The Company has not experienced any
material bad debt problems, nor has the return of aged product
had a material effect on the Company.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The Company is dependent upon the availability of live hogs to
produce its pork sausage and ham products. However, the Company
has never experienced shortages in the number of hogs available
at prevailing market prices. The live hog market is highly
cyclical (both in terms of the number of hogs available and the
price therefor) and is dependent upon corn production, since corn
is the major food supply for hogs.
Food items used in the manufacture of the Company's salad
products include potatoes, cheese, eggs, macaroni and other
pastas, fresh vegetables, chicken, tuna fish and salad dressings.
These items are purchased by the Company directly from various
suppliers. The Company believes that there are a number of
suppliers of the items used in its salad products and that its
sources of supply of these items are adequate for its needs.
The principal raw materials used by the Company in the
manufacture of the Hickory Specialties products are sawdust and
other related wood by-products. All are available from a wide
range of suppliers. The Company has experienced no difficulty in
obtaining raw materials for the Hickory Specialties products and
anticipates no future difficulty.
Expansion of Distribution Area
No new markets were opened for the Company's sausage products
during the 1994 fiscal year. The Company plans to test market
Owens Country Sausage products in Denver, Colorado, in the 1995
fiscal year.
The Company has no current plans for further geographic expansion
of its distribution area for the Mrs. Giles salad products or the
charcoal and liquid smoke flavoring products produced by Hickory
Specialties in the 1995 fiscal year. The Company expects to
complete expansion of the distribution of Bob Evans Harvest
Salads into all of the Bob Evans Farms marketing areas in fiscal
year 1995.
Profit Margins Related to Sausage Production
The Company's profit margins for the portion of the Company's
business relating to sausage production are normally more
favorable during periods of lower live hog costs. During the
1994 fiscal year, the Company experienced slightly higher live
hog costs over the previous year, however, these costs were more
than offset by higher wholesale prices being charged for its
product which, in turn, resulted in increased pre tax margins.
The Company expects live hog costs to remain relatively stable
over the next 12 months.
Restaurant Segment Operations
General
At April 29, 1994, the Company owned and operated 308 family
restaurants in Ohio (116), Florida (29), Indiana (28), Michigan
(31), Illinois (15), Pennsylvania (21), Kentucky (9), West
Virginia (15), Missouri (10), Tennessee (5), Texas (13), Georgia
(1), Maryland (4), Virginia (9), New York (5), South Carolina
(1), Iowa (1), New Jersey (1) and Delaware (1). All of the
family restaurants are operated as Bob Evans Restaurants, with
the exception of the 13 located in Texas, which are operated as
Owens Family Restaurants, and eight Bob Evans Restaurant &
General Stores, which feature a combined restaurant and gift shop
concept. There is one Bob Evans Restaurant & General Store
located in each of the following states: Ohio, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida and
Missouri. During the Company's 1994 fiscal year, 19 additional
Bob Evans and Owens Family Restaurants were opened. Included in
the 19 restaurants opened, eight restaurants were the smaller
version of the traditional Bob Evans Restaurants known as "small-
town" Bob Evans Restaurants, designed to efficiently serve
communities with smaller population bases. The "small-town"
restaurants serve the regular Bob Evans menu and have seating for
approximately 96 versus 200 in the newer Bob Evans Restaurants.
All of the "small-town" restaurants are located in Ohio; however,
the Company plans to expand this concept outside Ohio during
fiscal year 1995.
On May 2,1994, four Bob Evans Restaurants were closed. Three of
these restaurants, located in Tampa, Florida; Morrow, Georgia;
and Chattanooga, Tennessee, were not meeting profit expectations.
The fourth restaurant, located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, was
acquired by the state government by eminent domain in order to
make room for a new highway.
The Company has typically opened restaurants in areas where a
strong consumer awareness and acceptance for its sausage products
has been established over the years. It has deviated from this
practice only in Florida and South Carolina, where the Company
has opened 29 restaurants and one restaurant, respectively, but
does not have sausage distribution.
All of the Company's family restaurants feature a wide variety of
menu offerings designed to appeal to its customers. Breakfast
entree items are featured and served all day. The restaurants
are typically open from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday, with extended closing hours on Friday and Saturday for
certain locations. Approximately 55% of total revenues from
restaurant operations are generated from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., with
the balance generated from 4 p.m. to closing. Sales on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday account for approximately 55% of a typical
week's revenues.
During fiscal year 1994, the Company opened four additional
Cantina del Rio restaurants, one in Mayfield Heights, Ohio;
Livonia, Michigan; North Canton, Ohio; and Lisle, Indiana,
bringing the total opened to seven. These restaurants feature
authentic southwestern foods served in a Mexican atmosphere.
These restaurants are open from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Sunday
through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. until 12:30 a.m. on Friday and
Saturday.
Restaurants are supplied with food and inventory items (other
than sausage products, related meat items and certain salad
products) by three independent food distributors twice a week.
Sausage products, other related meat items and certain salad
products are supplied by the Company to each restaurant by the
Company's driver-salesmen, with the exception of the restaurants
located in Florida and South Carolina, which are supplied by
independent food distributors.
Seasonality
Revenues from restaurant operations as a percentage of total
revenues have been virtually the same, quarter by quarter, during
the last two fiscal years. However, certain locations, which are
near major interstate highways, experience increased revenues
during the summer tourist season. In addition, weather
conditions occasionally affect revenues to a small extent during
the winter months.
Competition
The restaurant segment is engaged in an intensely competitive
business. The Company's restaurants compete directly with both
local and national family restaurant and fast-food chains, as
well as with individual restaurant operators, for favorable sites
for expansion, as well as for customer acceptance. Sales of the
restaurant segment are not a significant factor in the overall
restaurant business in the Company's market areas.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
Menu mix in the restaurant segment is varied enough that raw
materials have been readily available; however, some food
products may be in short supply during certain seasons and raw
material prices often fluctuate according to availability. The
restaurant segment experienced a slight increase in food costs
during the Company's 1994 fiscal year, but does not expect food
costs to fluctuate to any significant degree during its 1995
fiscal year.
Advertising
The Company spent approximately $19,839,000 in the restaurant
segment for advertising during its 1994 fiscal year. The major
portion of these advertising dollars was spent on television
media, with lesser amounts being spent for radio and newspaper
advertising. In addition to the "Five Under $5 Program" offered
Monday through Friday, the Company features Breakfast Breaks, a
variety of morning meals priced at $2.99 or less. These items
are designed to increase weekday breakfast business. The Company
has typically not used coupons, except in certain markets where
it is attempting to gain market share.
Carryout Business
Carryout business in the Company's restaurants presently accounts
for only 2% to 3% of the total revenues generated in the
restaurant segment. The Company's restaurants do not have a
drive-through or pick-up window for carryout business.
Research and Development
The Company is continuously testing new food items in its search
for new and improved menu offerings to appeal to its customer
base and to satisfy changing eating trends. During the summer of
1994, the Company is featuring a "Five Under $5 Program" which
includes menu items of Chicken-N-Noodles, Chicken Salad Plate,
Chicken Caesar Salad, Spaghetti and an Open Faced Turkey Dinner.
Research and development expenses, to date, have not been
material.
Restaurant Expansion
The Company plans to build and open 49 new restaurants during the
1995 fiscal year, including 17 Bob Evans and Owens Family
Restaurants, twenty-two of the "small-town" Bob Evans Restaurants
and ten Cantina del Rio restaurants. Future restaurant expansion
will depend on the availability of sites, as well as restaurant
industry trends. The Company believes, however, that it can
continue with its planned expansion and is actively seeking
quality restaurant sites, not only in its present market area,
but in new market areas as well.
Trademarks, Service Marks and Licenses
The Company maintains various trademarks and service marks in
connection with its family restaurant operations. These
trademarks and service marks are renewed periodically and the
Company believes that such trademarks and service marks
adequately protect the various products and services to which
they relate. The Cantina del Rio, Mexican style restaurants,
require liquor licenses, since this casual theme dining concept
has a full service bar. The operations of the restaurant segment
of the Company are not dependent upon any patents, franchises or
concessions.
Employees
The Company had in its employment approximately 1,500 persons in
the food products segment and 22,300 persons in the restaurant
segment as of April 29, 1994.
Compliance with Environmental Protection Requirements
The Company does not anticipate that compliance with federal,
state and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will
have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or
the competitive position of the Company.

Item 2. PROPERTIES.
The materially important properties of the Company, in addition
to those described below, consist of its executive offices
located at 3776 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, a 937-acre
farm located in Rio Grande, Ohio, and a 30-acre farm located in
Richardson, Texas. The two farm locations serve as visitor
centers, are tourist attractions and are open to the general
public.
Food Products Segment
The food products segment has seven sausage manufacturing plants:
three in Ohio; two in Texas; and one each in Michigan and
Illinois; one prepared salads manufacturing plant in Virginia;
one charcoal manufacturing plant in Tennessee; and three
manufacturing plants producing liquid smoke flavoring products
(one in Missouri, one in Tennessee (which also produces charcoal
products) and one in Kentucky). All of these properties are
owned in fee by the Company. The Company owns regional sales
offices in Westland, Michigan, and in Houston, San Antonio,
Lubbuck and Tyler, Texas. In addition, various other locations
are rented by the Company throughout its marketing territory
which serve as regional and divisional sales offices.
Restaurant Segment
Of the 315 restaurants operated by the Company, 274 are owned in
fee and 41 are leased from unaffiliated persons. All lease
agreements contain either multiple renewal options or options to
purchase. Nine of these leased properties have terms that will
expire through May 1, 1999. With respect to these nine leases,
the Company has the following options: one lease contains two
five-year renewal options; four leases contain four five-year
renewal options; two leases contain six five-year renewal

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. Intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
Fiscal Year: The company's fiscal year ends on the last
Friday in April. References herein to 1994, 1993 and 1992 refer
to fiscal years ended April 29, 1994, April 30, 1993, and April
24, 1992, respectively. Fiscal 1993 was composed of 53 weeks as
compared to 1994 and 1992, which were both 52-week periods.
Investments: The company records investments at cost, which
approximates market.
Inventories: The company values inventories at the lower of
first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventory is composed of raw
materials and supplies ($10,530,000 in 1994, $9,843,000 in 1993)
and finished goods ($5,269,000 in 1994, $4,971,000 in 1993).
Property, Plant and Equipment: The company calculates
depreciation on the declining-balance and straight-line methods
at rates adequate to amortize costs over the estimated useful
lives of buildings (15 to 25 years), machinery and equipment (3
to 10 years) and other (5 to 25 years).
Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired: The cost in excess of
net assets acquired is being amortized over 25 years using the
straight-line method. Accumulated amortization at April 29,
1994, and April 30, 1993, was $1,920,000 and $1,381,000,
respectively.
Pre-opening Expenses: Expenditures related to the opening of
new restaurants, other than those for capital assets, are charged
to expense when incurred.
Net Income Per Share: The company calculates net income per
share based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for 1994, 1993 and 1992, were 42,006,000,
41,872,000 and 41,750,000 respectively. Outstanding stock
options do not have a material dilutive effect.
Reclassifications: Certain 1993 and 1992 amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the 1994 classification.
Note B -- Acquisitions
On June 19, 1992, the company purchased all of the outstanding
capital stock of Greenriver Charcoal, Inc. (Greenriver) for
$3,046,000 and on the same date merged the company into Hickory
Specialties, Inc. (Hickory), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bob
Evans Farms, Inc. Greenriver, based near Summer Shade, Ky.,
produces natural smoke flavorings.
On March 30, 1992, the company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Hickory for $13,479,000. Hickory, based in
Brentwood, Tenn., produces and distributes high-quality charcoal,
wood smoking chips, related grilling equipment and natural smoke
flavorings.
On Sept. 13, 1991, the company acquired the net assets of Mrs.
Giles Country Kitchens (Mrs. Giles), an affiliate of Campbell
Soup Company, for $2,930,000. Mrs. Giles, based in Lynchburg,
Va., produces and distributes refrigerated deli-style salads
throughout the southeastern United States under the brand names
of Mrs. Giles and Mrs. Kinser's.
The company accounted for all acquisitions as purchases and
the results of each acquired company's operations are included in
the accompanying financial statements from the respective dates
of acquisition. For each acquisition, the company allocated the
purchase price to the net assets acquired based upon an
assessment of the fair value of such assets and liabilities at
the date of acquisition.

Unaudited pro forma results of operations, assuming both Mrs.
Giles and Hickory acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of
fiscal 1992, are presented below. The pro forma amounts include
adjustments to amortize cost in excess of net assets acquired and
other minor adjustments that the company believes are reasonable.

Pro forma information may not be indicative of the results
that would have occurred had the acquisitions been made at April
27, 1991, and is not intended to be a projection of future
results.
Pro forma results are not presented related to the Greenriver
acquisition since all of its sales income was obtained through
intercompany transactions with Hickory which would have been
eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, any incremental net
income would have been immaterial.
Note C -- Credit Arrangements
The company has arrangements with certain banks from which it
may borrow up to $53,000,000. The arrangements are reviewed
annually for renewal. At April 29, 1994, $9,500,000 was
outstanding under these arrangements. During 1994 and 1993,
respectively, the maximum amounts outstanding under these
arrangements were $9,500,000 and $3,000,000 and the average
amounts outstanding were $1,506,000 and $305,000 with weighted
average interest rates of 5.2% and 6.0%.
Total interest expense of $78,000, $85,000 and $216,000
incurred in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, was capitalized in
connection with the company's restaurant construction activities.
Note D -- Income Taxes
During fiscal 1993, the company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the
liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The
cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of fiscal 1993 was
not material to the financial statements.
Deferred federal income taxes reflect the net tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for income tax purposes. Significant components of the company's
deferred tax liability and assets as of April 29, 1994, and
April 30, 1993, are as follows:

Taxes paid during 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $31,643,000, $28,595,000 and
$23,922,000, respectively.
Note E -- Leases
Rental expense approximated $2,019,000 in 1994, $2,146,000 in
1993, and $1,562,000 in 1992. The company has no significant
agreements involving contingent rentals or sub-leases.
Most of the operating leases contain one of the following
options: (a) the company can, after the initial lease term,
purchase the property at the then fair value of the property, or
(b) the company can, at the end of the initial lease term, renew
its lease at the then fair rental value for the periods of five
to 10 years. In most cases, management expects that, in the
normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by
other leases.
The future minimum rental payments required under operating
leases that have remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess
of one year are as follows: $1,563,000 in 1995, $1,446,000 in
1996, $1,246,000 in 1997, $1,088,000 in 1998, $1,033,000 in 1999
and $8,812,000 through 2028.
Note F -- Stockholders' Equity
The company has employee stock option plans adopted June 20,
1985 (1985 Plan), May 14, 1987 (1987 Plan), and June 1, 1991 (1991
Plan); a non-employee directors stock option plan adopted June 16,
1989 (1989 Plan); and a nonqualified stock option plan adopted
April 17, 1992 (1992 Plan), in conjunction with a supplemental
executive retirement plan. The 1992 Plan provides that the option
price shall be not less than 50% of the fair market value of the
stock at the date of grant. All other plans provide that the
option price shall be the fair market value of the stock at the
grant date. Options may be granted for a period of up to 10 years
under the 1985, 1987 and 1991 Plans, and until all available
shares reserved have been issued or until the board determines
that the plan shall terminate under the 1989 and 1992 Plans.
Except for the 1992 Plan, options granted under the plans become
exercisable at the rate of 20% per year beginning at the date of
grant. As of April 29, 1994, options for 1,413,768 shares were
outstanding, and options for 587,609 shares were exercisable at
prices ranging from $8.63 to $20.19 per share.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, options of 151,726, 101,528 and
118,605 shares, respectively, were exercised at prices ranging
from $8.69 to $19.00 per share. At April 29, 1994, 1,872,571
shares were reserved for issuance under the plans.
The company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP)
provides retirement benefits to certain key management employees
of the company and its subsidiaries. The purpose of the 1992
nonqualified stock option plan discussed earlier is to fund and
settle benefit obligations of the company that arise under the
SERP. To the extent that benefits under the SERP are satisfied by
grants of stock options under the nonqualified plan, the plans
will operate as an incentive plan that produces both risk and
reward to participants based on future growth in the market value
of the company's common stock. Since the company intends to fund
and settle its obligations under the SERP on a current basis by
granting stock options under the nonqualified plan, the company
anticipates that no long-term unfunded pension obligations will
arise under the SERP. Compensation expense attributable to stock
options granted in 1994 and 1993 was $500,000 and $1,382,000,
respectively.
On April 30, 1993, the company adopted a Long-Term Incentive
Plan (LTIP) for managers. The LTIP provides for the award of up
to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the company's common stock to
mid-level managers as incentive compensation. Shares awarded are
restricted until certain vesting requirements are met, at which
time all restricted shares are converted to unrestricted shares.
The value of such shares is established by market price on the
date of the grant. LTIP participants are entitled to cash
dividends and to vote their respective shares. Restrictions
generally limit the sale, pledge or transfer of the shares during
a restricted period, not to exceed 12 years. In 1994, no awards
were granted as part of the LTIP, however compensation expense of
$322,000 was accrued to provide for awards granted in May 1994.
Note G -- Profit Sharing Plan
Effective May 1, 1990, the company's non-contributory profit
sharing plan was amended to permit participants to make
contributions to the plan. The plan covers substantially all
employees with at least one year of service.
The annual contribution to the plan is at the discretion of the
company's board of directors. The company's expenses related to
contributions to the plan in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $3,104,000,
$2,484,000, and $2,311,000, respectively.
Note H -- Commitments and Contingencies
At April 29, 1994, the company had contractual commitments
approximating $17,075,000 for restaurant construction, plant
equipment additions and the purchases of land and inventory.
The company is from time to time involved in a number of claims
and litigation considered normal in the course of business.
Various lawsuits and assessments, among them employment
discrimination, product liability, workers' compensation claims
and tax assessments, are in litigation or pending litigation.
While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these actions,
in the opinion of the company, these actions should not
ultimately have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the company.

Auditor's Report
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Report of Ernst & Young, Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
Columbus, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 29, 1994, and
April 30, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended April 29, 1994. 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 in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and subsidiaries at
April 29, 1994, and April 30, 1993, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended April 29, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Selected Financial Information
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Sales
Total sales for Bob Evans Farms, Inc. and subsidiaries
increased seven percent in 1994 over 1993. This compares
with a 17% increase in 1993. Fiscal year 1994 was composed
of 52 weeks, whereas there were 53 weeks in fiscal year
1993.
The majority of the increase in sales occurred in the
restaurant segment, which experienced sales growth of $37.7
million, or eight percent, in comparison to 1993, in which a
$59.8 million increase resulted in 15% growth over 1992.
These increases were due mainly to more restaurants in
operation and menu price increases of three percent in both
years. During 1994, 23 new restaurants were opened: 11
traditional Bob Evans and Owens Family Restaurants, eight
"small-town" Bob Evans Restaurants and four Cantina del
Rios. Two of the Cantina del Rio openings were in Livonia,
Mich., and Lisle, Ill., the first locations outside of Ohio
for the company casual theme concept.
Food products segment sales increased $8.1 million, or four
percent, as compared to 1993, which saw a 23% increase over
1992 sales. The increase was attributable to higher
wholesale prices of sausage products over a year ago and
improved sales of Hickory Specialties' charcoal and liquid
smoke flavorings. The prior year increase was due to full-
year sales comparisons in 1993 of Mrs. Giles and Hickory
Specialties versus a partial year in 1992, and increased
institutional and foodservice sales of private label and
specialty sausage products.
Cost of Sales
As a percentage of sales, the consolidated cost of sales
was unchanged in 1994 at 31.7%. The restaurant segment cost
of sales percentage also remained constant, at 27.5% in both
1994 and 1993. In the food products segment, cost of sales
increased slightly from 41.5% to 41.9% of sales in 1994 as
compared to 1993 due mostly to higher live hog costs as well
as the higher cost of fresh salad ingredients.
Operating Expenses
Consolidated operating expenses were virtually unchanged in
1994 at 41.9% of sales as compared to 41.8% in the prior
year. Restaurant segment operating expenses represented
approximately 56% of its sales in both 1994 and 1993, and
food products segment operating expenses were approximately
16% of its sales for both years.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were between
12% and 13% for each of the years presented. In the
restaurant segment, selling, general and administrative
expenses represented 5.6% and 5.3% of 1994 and 1993 sales,
respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses
in the food products segment decreased from 26.3% of sales
in 1993 to 25.4% in 1994. Most of this reduction was due to
an overall decrease in advertising expenditures in the food
products segment.
Taxes
The effective federal and state income tax rates applicable
to the company in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were 37.0%, 37.2% and
37.0%, respectively. As of a result of legislation enacted
this past year, changes in the corporate income tax rate and
tax credits are expected to increase the company's effective
tax rate to a range of 38.5% to 39% in fiscal year 1995.
Net Income
Net income increased 12% in 1994 compared to 1993. Of this
increase, 74% was attributable to the restaurant segment
having more restaurants in operation in 1994 as compared to
1993. The remainder of the increase in the food products
segment was due to improved margins in sales of sausage,
charcoal and liquid-smoke flavorings as well as decreased
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Net income increased nine percent in 1993 compared to 1992.
Restaurant segment net income increased 16% in 1993 compared
to 1992 and accounted for all the company's overall
increase. This increase was mainly related to more
restaurants in operation in 1993 compared to 1992. Food
products segment net income decreased five percent in 1993
compared to 1992. This decrease was related to decreased
margins on sausage products sold because of higher live hog
costs during the third and fourth quarters as well as
narrower margins on both salad and foodservice products.
This decrease was partially offset by the full-year
inclusion of Mrs. Giles' and Hickory Specialties' operating
results in 1993.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash generated from both the restaurant and food products
segments was used as the main source of funds for working
capital and capital expenditure requirements. Cash and
short-term investments totaled $8.1 million at April 29,
1994, and $10.2 million at April 30, 1993.
Bank lines of credit were used for liquidity needs and
capital expansions during fiscal year 1994. At April 29,
1994, $9.5 million was outstanding under such arrangements.
The bank lines of credit available were increased to $53
million during 1994 from $18 million in 1993 to meet
liquidity and capital resource requirements anticipated
because of increased restaurant expansion projected during
fiscal year 1995. The company believes that the funds
needed for capital expenditures and working capital during
1995 will be generated internally and available bank lines
of credit. Longer-term financing alternatives will be
evaluated by the company, especially in the event of an
acquisitions.
At April 29, 1994, the company had contractual commitments
from restaurant construction, plant equipment additions and
land purchases of approximately $17 million. Anticipated
capital expenditures for 1995 will be approximately $90
million and depreciation and amortization expenses will be
approximately $26 million. The company plans to build 49
additional restaurants in fiscal year 1995, as well as
upgrade various property, plant and equipment in both
segments.
Dividends paid represented 23% of net income in both 1994
and 1993.

whichever is higher;

per share of the Common Stock on the Announcement Date or on the
date on which the Acquirer became an Acquirer (as adjusted for

(iii) (if applicable) the
price per share equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the
Common Stock determined pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph

ownership of the highest number of shares of Common Stock
previously acquired by the Acquirer.
(11) The term "Fair Market Value" means
(a) in the case of stock, the highest closing sale price during
the 30-day period immediately preceding the date in question of a
share of such stock on the principal United States securities
exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which such stock is
listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the
highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share of such
stock during the 30-day period preceding the date in question on

In the event of any Business
Combination in which the Corporation survives, the phrase
"consideration other than cash to be received" as used in

Affiliates or Associates, voting together as a single class;
provided, that, in the event that it is judicially determined
that the requirement for the affirmative vote provided for in
clause (b) of this paragraph (C)(14) is, for any reason, invalid
under applicable law, then the term "Special Shareholder Vote"
shall mean only the requirement for the affirmative vote provided
for in clause (a) of this paragraph (C)(14). However, no Special
Shareholder Vote will be effective for the purposes of this
Article Tenth unless a Proxy Statement describing the Business
Combination shall have been mailed to all holders of Voting Stock
at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for the Special
Shareholder Vote (regardless of whether or not such Proxy
Statement is required to be furnished to the shareholders of the
Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act).
(15) The term "Subsidiary" or
"Subsidiaries" shall mean any corporation or corporations of
which a majority of any class of equity security is owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Corporation; provided, however,
that for the purposes of the definition of Acquirer set forth in
paragraph (C)(1), the term "Subsidiary" or "Subsidiaries" shall
mean only a corporation of which a majority of each class of
equity security is owned directly or indirectly, by the
Corporation.

Incorporation and outstanding as of any particular time, which
are generally entitled to vote with respect to the election of
directors.

acting at a meeting at which an Unrelated Director Quorum is
present shall have the power and duty to determine for the
purposes of this Article Tenth on the basis of information known
to them after reasonable inquiry, (1) whether a person is an
Acquirer, (2) the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially
owned by any person, (3) whether a person is an Affiliate or
Associate of another, and (4) whether the assets that are the
subject of any Business Combination have, or the consideration to
be received for the issuance or transfer of securities by the
Corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination has, an
aggregate Fair Market Value of $10,000,000 or more. Any such
determination made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive
on all parties.
(E) Nothing contained in this Article Tenth
shall be construed to relieve any Acquirer from any fiduciary
obligation imposed by law.
(F) The fact that any Business Combination
complies with the provisions of paragraph B of this Article Tenth
shall not be construed to impose any fiduciary duty, obligation
or responsibility on the Board, or any member thereof, to approve
such Business Combination or recommend its adoption or approval
to the shareholders of the Corporation, nor shall such compliance
limit, prohibit or otherwise restrict in any manner the Board, or
any member thereof, with respect to evaluation of or actions and
responses taken with respect to such Business Combination.
ELEVENTH: No director or former director of this Company shall
be personally liable to this Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which deals
with the paying of a dividend or the approving of a stock
repurchase or redemption which is illegal under Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit.
TWELFTH: Notwithstanding any other provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation
(and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be
specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws
of the Corporation), any Director or the entire Board of
Directors of the Corporation may be removed from office at any
time, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled
to vote on the election of directors at a meeting of stockholders
called for that purpose, except that if the Board of Directors,
by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the
entire Board of Directors, recommends removal of a Director to
the stockholders, such removal may be effected by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on
the election of directors at a meeting of stockholders for that
purpose.
THIRTEENTH: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation
(and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or
separate class vote may be specified by law, this Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation), the affirmative
vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the votes
entitled to be cast by all holders of Voting Stock, voting
together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal,
or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, Articles Tenth,
Eleventh or Twelfth, provided, that this Article shall not apply
to, and such eighty percent (80%) vote shall not be required for,
(A) as to Article Tenth, any amendment, repeal or adoption
unanimously recommended by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation if all of such directors are persons who would be
eligible to serve as Unrelated Directors within the meaning of

Long Term Incentive Plan
BOB EVANS FARMS, INC. 1994 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Purpose. The purpose of the Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
1994 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to foster and
promote the long-term success of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (the
"Company") and materially increase stockholder value by (a)
motivating superior performance by means of performance-related
incentives, (b) encouraging and providing for the acquisition of
an ownership interest in the Company by officers and other key
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (c) enabling
the Company to attract and retain the services of an outstanding
management team upon whose judgment, interest and special effort
the successful conduct of the operations of the Company is
largely dependent.
Administration. The Plan will be administered by
a committee (the "Committee") of at least three persons who shall
be either the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company or such other committee comprised entirely of
"disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), or any successor rule or regulation, as the Board of
Directors of the Company may from time to time designate. No
member of the Committee shall be (a) a current employee of the
Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or (b) a former employee of
the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries who is receiving
compensation for prior services (other than benefits under a tax-
qualified retirement or savings plan) or (c) a current or former
officer of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or (d)
receiving remuneration in any capacity other than as a director
except as permitted under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations and
rulings thereunder. The Committee shall interpret the Plan;
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating
thereto; and make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan. Any determination, decision
or action of the Committee in connection with the construction,
interpretation, administration or application of the Plan shall
be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons participating
in the Plan and any person validly claiming under or through
persons participating in the Plan. A majority of the members of
the Committee shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the
Committee, and all determinations of the Committee at a meeting
shall be made by a majority of its members. Any determination of
the Committee under the Plan may be made without a meeting of the
Committee by a writing signed by all of its members. No member
of the Board of Directors of the Company or of the Committee
shall be liable for any action or determination made in good
faith, with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under the
Plan. The Company shall effect the granting of Awards under the
Plan in accordance with the determination of the Committee, by
execution of instruments in writing in such form as approved by
the Committee.
With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply
with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act, or any successor rule or regulation. To the extent any
provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so
comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted
by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
Participants. Participants in the Plan will
consist of such officers and other full-time employees of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including those who are
directors of the Company, as the Committee in its sole discretion
may designate from time to time to receive Awards hereunder. The
Committee's designation of a Participant in any year shall not
require the Committee to designate such person to receive an
Award in any other year. The Committee shall consider such
factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in
determining the type and amount of their respective Awards,
including, without limitation: (a) the financial condition of the
Company and its Subsidiaries; (b) anticipated profits for the
current or future years; (c) contributions of Participants to the
profitability and development of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; and (d) other compensation provided to
Participants. During the period in which this Plan remains in
effect, no Participant shall be granted Awards under this Plan
covering, in the aggregate, more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
(250,000) Common Shares.
Types of Awards. Awards under the Plan may be
granted in any one or a combination of (a) Incentive Stock
Options; (b) Non-Qualified Stock Options; and (c) Performance
Share Awards, all as described below in Sections 6, 7 and 8
hereof.
Common Shares Reserved Under the Plan. There is
hereby reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of One
Million (1,000,000) Common Shares, which may be newly issued or
treasury shares. If there is a lapse, expiration, termination or
cancellation of any Award granted hereunder without the issuance
of Common Shares or payment of cash thereunder, or if Common
Shares are issued under any Award and thereafter are reacquired
by the Company pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance
thereof, the Common Shares subject to or reserved for such Award
may again be used for new Stock Options or other Awards under the
Plan so long as the holder thereof has not received any benefits
of ownership of such Common Shares; provided, however, that in no
event may the number of Common Shares issued under the Plan
exceed the total number of Common Shares reserved for issuance
hereunder.
Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options will
consist of Stock Options, qualifying as "incentive stock options"
under the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, to purchase
Common Shares at purchase prices of not less than One Hundred
Percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such Common Shares on
the date of grant. Incentive Stock Options will be exercisable
over not more than ten (10) years after the date of grant. In
the event of the termination of an optionee's employment for any
reason other than Disability, Death or for Cause, the right of
the optionee to exercise an Incentive Stock Option shall
terminate upon the earlier to occur of the end of the original
term of the Incentive Stock Option or three (3) months after the
date of such termination of employment. In the event that an
optionee is Terminated for Cause, the right of the optionee to
exercise an Incentive Stock Option shall terminate immediately
upon the termination of employment. In the event of the
termination of an optionee's employment due to Disability, the
right of the optionee to exercise an Incentive Stock Option shall
terminate upon the earlier to occur of the end of the original
term of the Incentive Stock Option or one (1) year after the date
of termination of employment. If an optionee should die while
employed, the right of the optionee's successor in interest to
exercise an Incentive Stock Option granted to the optionee shall
terminate upon the earlier to occur of the end of the original
term of the Incentive Stock Option or one year after optionee's
last date of employment. If an optionee should die within three
(3) months after termination of employment due to Retirement, the
right of his or her successor in interest to exercise an
Incentive Stock Option shall terminate three (3) months after the
date of termination of employment as a result of such Retirement,
but not later than the end of the original term of the Incentive
Stock Option. If an optionee should die within one (1) year
after termination of employment due to Disability, the right of
his or her successor in interest to exercise an Incentive Stock
Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of one (1) year
after the date of termination of employment or the end of the
original term of the Incentive Stock Option. For purposes of
this Section 6, if an optionee terminates his or her employment
voluntarily, the date of termination of employment shall be
deemed to be the date on which he or she notifies the Company of
his or her intention to terminate his or her employment; in all
other cases, the date of termination of employment shall be the
last day of employment.
The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares with
respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all
option plans of the Company and all Subsidiaries and Parents of
the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. An Incentive Stock
Option granted to a Participant under the Plan may be exercised
only after six (6) months from its grant date. Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Incentive
Stock Option shall be granted to an employee who, at the time the
Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns (actually or
constructively under the provisions of Section 424(d) of the
Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, unless the option exercise price is
not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares
subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the date of grant and
the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable more
than five (5) years from the date it is granted.
Non-Qualified Stock Options. Non-Qualified Stock
Options will consist of options to purchase Common Shares at
purchase prices not less than One Hundred Percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value of such Common Shares on the date of grant.
Non-Qualified Stock Options will be exercisable over not more
than ten (10) years after the date of grant. In the event of the
termination of an optionee's employment for any reason other than
Retirement, Disability, Death or for Cause, the right of the
optionee to exercise a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall terminate
upon the earlier to occur of the end of the original term of the
Non-Qualified Stock Option or three (3) months after the date of
such termination of employment. If an optionee is Terminated for
Cause, the right of the optionee to exercise a Non-Qualified
Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the termination of
employment. In the event of the termination of an optionee's
employment due to Retirement or Disability, or if the optionee
should die while employed, the right of the optionee or his or
her successor in interest to exercise a Non-Qualified Stock
Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the end of
the original term of the Non-Qualified Stock Option or one (1)
year after the date of termination of employment as a result of
such Retirement, Disability or death. If an optionee should die
within one (1) year after termination of employment due to
Retirement or Disability, the right of his or her successor in
interest to exercise a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall terminate
upon the earlier of one (1) year after termination of employment
as a result of such Retirement or Disability or the end of the
original term of the Non-Qualified Stock Option. For purposes of
this Section 7, if an optionee terminates his or her employment
voluntarily, the date of termination of employment shall be
deemed to be the date on which he or she notifies the Company of
his or her intention to terminate his or her employment; in all
other cases, the date of termination of employment shall be the
last day of employment. A Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to
a Participant under the Plan may be exercised only after six (6)
months from its grant date.
Performance Share Awards. The Committee may grant
awards under which payment may be made in Common Shares, cash or
any combination of Common Shares and cash if the performance of
the Company or any Subsidiary selected by the Committee during
the Performance Period meets certain goals established by the
Committee ("Performance Share Awards"). Such Performance Share
Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and
such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe:
(a) Performance Period and Performance Goals.
The Committee shall determine and include in a Performance Share
Award grant the period of time for which a Performance Share
Award is made ("Performance Period"). The Committee shall also
establish performance objectives ("Performance Goals") to be met
by the Company or Subsidiary during the Performance Period as a
condition to payment of the Performance Share Award. The
Performance Goals may include earnings per share, return on
stockholders' equity, return on assets, net income or any other
financial or other measure established by the Committee. The
Performance Goals may include minimum and optimum objectives or a
single set of objectives.
(b) Payment of Performance Share Awards. The
Committee shall establish the method of calculating the amount of
payment to be made under a Performance Share Award if the Perfor
mance Goals are met, including the fixing of a maximum payment.
The Performance Share Award shall be expressed in terms of Common
Shares and referred to as "Performance Shares." After the comple
tion of a Performance Period, the performance of the Company or
Subsidiary shall be measured against the Performance Goals, and
the Committee shall determine whether all, none or any portion of
a Performance Share Award shall be paid. The Committee, in its
discretion, may elect to make payment in Common Shares, cash or a
combination of Common Shares and cash. Any cash payment shall be
based on the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Shares
on, or as soon as practicable prior to, the date of payment.
(c) Revision of Performance Goals. At any time
prior to the end of a Performance Period, the Committee may
revise the Performance Goals and the computation of payment if
unforeseen events occur which have a substantial effect on the
performance of the Company or Subsidiary and which in the
judgment of the Company make the application of the Performance
Goals unfair unless a revision is made.
(d) Requirement of Employment. A Participant who
receives a Performance Share Award must remain in the employment
of the Company or Subsidiary until the completion of the
Performance Period in order to be entitled to payment under the
Performance Share Award; provided that the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, provide for a partial payment where such an
exception is deemed equitable.
Nontransferability. Each Stock Option and each
Performance Share Award granted under this Plan shall not be
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the
Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant or the Partici
pant's guardian or legal representative.
Other Provisions. The grant of any Award under
the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions (whether or
not applicable to any Award granted to any other Participant) as
the Committee determines appropriate including, without limita
tion, provisions for the purchase of Common Shares under Stock
Options in installments, provisions for the payment of the option
exercise price of Common Shares under a Stock Option by delivery
of other Common Shares of the Company having a then Fair Market
Value equal to the option exercise price of such Common Shares,
restrictions on resale or other disposition, such provisions as
may be appropriate to comply with federal or state securities
laws and stock exchange requirements and understandings or
conditions as to the Participant's employment in addition to
those specifically provided for under the Plan. If the Committee
does not specify another exercise schedule at the time of grant,
the number of Common Shares under each Stock Option which may be
purchased in any one year ending on an anniversary date of the
grant of the Stock Option shall be the total number of Common
Shares subject to the Stock Option divided by the number of years
constituting the term of the Stock Option; provided, however,
that if an optionee does not purchase in any one option year the
full number of Common Shares to which he or she is then entitled,
the optionee may purchase those Common Shares in any subsequent
year during the term of the Stock Option.
The Committee may, in its discretion, permit payment of
the option exercise price of Common Shares under Stock Options by
delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with a
copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly
to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the
option exercise price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company
may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or
more brokerage firms.
The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to
such rules as it may adopt, permit a Participant to pay all or a
portion of the federal, state and local taxes, including FICA
withholding tax, arising in connection with the following
transactions: (a) the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option;
or (b) the receipt or exercise of any other Award; by electing
(i) to have the Company withhold Common Shares, (ii) to tender
back Common Shares received in connection with such Award or
(iii) to deliver other previously acquired Common Shares of the
Company having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the
amount to be withheld.
Term of the Plan and Amendment, Modification,
Cancellation or Acceleration of Awards. No Award shall be
granted under the Plan more than ten (10) years after the date of
the adoption of the Plan by the Company's Board of Directors.
The terms and conditions applicable to any Award granted prior to
such date may at any time be amended, modified or cancelled,
without stockholder approval, by mutual agreement between the
Committee and the Participant or such other persons as may then
have an interest therein, so long as stockholder approval of such
amendment, modification or cancellation is not required under
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any applicable requirements
of any securities exchange on which are listed any of the
Company's equity securities or any applicable requirements for
issuers whose securities are traded in the NASDAQ National Market
System or any applicable requirements of the Code. The Committee
may, at any time and in its sole discretion, declare any or all
Stock Options then outstanding under this Plan to be exercisable,
whether or not such Stock Options are then otherwise exercisable.
Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold
the amount of any tax attributable to any amount payable or
Common Shares deliverable under the Plan after giving the person
entitled to receive such amount or Common Shares notice as far in
advance as practicable, and the Company may defer making payment
or delivery if any such tax may be pending unless and until
indemnified to its satisfaction.

In the event of any change in capitalization

tion or exchange of shares or other form of reorganization, or
any other change affecting the Common Shares, the Committee shall
make proportionate adjustments to reflect such change with

The Committee also shall make such

Subject to the six month holding requirements

Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Committee,

any successor rule or regulation, with respect to any employee
benefit plan of the Company or result in the Plan losing its
status as a plan satisfying the requirements of said Rule 16b-3.
No Right to Employment. Neither the adoption of
the Plan nor the granting of any Awards hereunder shall confer
upon any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to
continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the
case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of
the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of
its employees at any time, with or without cause.
Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and the
Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at
any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability
of the Company to any person with respect to any Awards under the
Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that
may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the
Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other
encumbrance on, any property of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Other Company Award and Compensation Plans.
Payments and other Awards received by a Participant under the
Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant's regular,
recurring compensation for purposes of any termination indemnity
or severance pay law and shall not be included in, nor have any
effect on, the determination of Awards under any other employee
benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or a
Subsidiary unless expressly so provided by such other plan or
arrangement, or except where the Committee expressly determines
that an Award or portion of an Award should be included to
accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to
recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of
competitive annual cash compensation. Awards under the Plan may
be made in combination or in tandem with, or as alternatives to,
grants, awards or payments under any other Company or Subsidiary
plans. The Plan notwithstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary
may adopt such other compensation programs and additional
compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract,
retain and reward employees for their service with the Company
and its Subsidiaries.
Securities Law Restrictions. No Common Shares
shall be issued under the Plan unless counsel for the Company
shall be satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws. Certificates for
Common Shares delivered under the Plan may be subject to such
stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other require
ments of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock
exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed or traded,
the NASDAQ National Market System or any applicable federal or
state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or
legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.
Award Agreement. Each Participant receiving an
Award under the Plan shall enter into an agreement with the
Company in a form specified by the Committee agreeing to the
terms and conditions of the Award and such related matters as the
Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine.
Cost of the Plan. The costs and expenses of
administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.
Governing Law. The Plan and all actions taken
thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware.
Stockholder Approval. The Plan was adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company on April 15, 1994. The Plan
and any Award granted thereunder shall be null and void if
stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months of
the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors.
