PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Great American Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI" or "the Company") is
a diversified holding company. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Eagle Industries, Inc. ("Eagle"), owns businesses which produce and distribute
capital goods and other products serving building, electrical, automotive and
aviation markets. The Company also has an investment in the agricultural
chemicals and fertilizers industry through its investment in The Vigoro
Corporation ("Vigoro"). In addition, the Company owns a portfolio of real
estate, real estate limited partnerships and loans receivable through its
subsidiary Great American Financial Group, Inc. ("GAFG").
MANUFACTURING
Eagle has grown from revenues of approximately $250.0 million in 1987 to
$990 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. This growth has been
generated primarily through acquisitions. Eagle is currently comprised of 10
businesses operating in three segments. These businesses generally are low and
medium technology industrial companies in niche markets.

</TABLE>
From its inception, much of Eagle's growth has come from acquisitions.
Eagle's acquisition philosophy has been to acquire "underperforming"
manufacturing companies that have the potential to become market leaders and low
cost producers through the application of Eagle's cost reduction and quality
improvement strategies. Eagle generally has sought companies that serve basic
industrial niche markets. To enhance its position within these market niches,
Eagle has pursued and completed over 21 "add-on" acquisitions to profitably
expand product lines and geographic scope. Eagle has also divested 20 businesses
for total proceeds of over $650.0 million. A substantial portion of these
proceeds were used to reduce debt levels.
HISTORY
In February 1987, GAMI consolidated its basic manufacturing businesses by
capitalizing Eagle with Lapp Insulator Company ("Lapp") and various businesses
which were previously a part of Clevepak Corporation ("Clevepak"). In April
1987, Eagle purchased The Pfaudler Companies, Inc. ("Pfaudler") and in February
of 1988, Eagle purchased The DeVilbiss Company ("DeVilbiss"). In September 1989,
Eagle purchased Amerace
3
<PAGE> 4
Corporation ("Amerace"), and certain indirect subsidiaries of GAMI acquired The
Jepson Corporation ("Jepson"). In January 1991, GAMI, through certain of its
subsidiaries, contributed Jepson to Eagle.
Pursuant to a reorganization in contemplation of a public offering to sell
common stock, Falcon Building Products, Inc. ("Falcon") was restructured and
recapitalized as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle. In connection
therewith, Eagle contributed to Falcon the stock and certain assets and
liabilities of the companies comprising Eagle's Building Products Group. In
November 1994, Falcon completed an initial public offering of 6,000,000 shares
(30%) of its Class A common stock at an offering price of $12.00 per share (the
"Offering") (New York Stock Exchange: "FB").
BUSINESS
Eagle is currently comprised of 10 businesses operating in three business
segments. The three business segments are: the Building Products Group, the
Electrical Products Group and the Automotive Products Group. The operations of
Burns Aerospace ("Burns") are included with Corporate. These businesses
generally are low to medium technology industrial companies in niche markets.
They primarily serve the residential and commercial construction, electric
utility, automotive aftermarket and commercial aviation markets. See Note 17 to
Great American Management and Investment, Inc. and Subsidiaries Consolidated
Financial Statements ("the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements") for
financial information regarding industry segments and geographic data.
BUILDING PRODUCTS GROUP
The Building Products Group consists of Falcon which manufactures and
distributes building products primarily for the residential and commercial
construction and home improvement markets. Products manufactured by this group
include air distribution and handling equipment, bathroom plumbing fixtures and
consumer and commercial air compressors.
The building products industry relies primarily on the residential and
commercial construction markets. The residential construction market is largely
dependent on housing starts and remodeling/do-it-yourself ("DIY") projects.
Housing starts and remodeling/DIY projects are generally a function of new
household formation, mortgage rates, inflation, unemployment and gross national
product growth. The Company believes that future growth in revenue and earnings
for companies operating in this industry is dependent upon the housing and
construction markets in North America, increased international business, quality
and customer service, and further market penetration with both new and existing
products.
AIR DISTRIBUTION AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT
Falcon is a manufacturer of residential and commercial air distribution and
air handling products in the North American market. Falcon manufactures more
than 6,000 items primarily for the residential and, to a lesser extent,
commercial heating ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") markets, including
metal grilles, registers and diffusers, metal and plastic chimney vent systems,
flexible ducts, terminal units and electric duct heaters. Products are generally
produced on a high-volume, low cost basis, however, the standard product line is
supplemented with custom-engineered products designed to meet specific size or
performance requirements.
Residential and commercial products are marketed to HVAC contractors
primarily through wholesale distributors. In order to provide high quality
service and convenience to HVAC contractors, Falcon services its distribution
network through a direct field sales staff which is supported by a customer
service group. These products are marketed under the Hart & Cooley(R),
Metlvent(R) and Ultravent(R) trade names. Commercial/industrial registers,
grilles, diffusers, terminal units, louvers and electric duct heaters are
marketed primarily to HVAC contractors through manufacturers' representatives
under the Tuttle & Bailey(R) trade name. Key competitive considerations in the
HVAC market are delivery time, quality and proximity to distributors.
BATHROOM PLUMBING FIXTURES
Falcon manufacturers ceramic, vitreous china and enameled steel bathroom
plumbing fixtures, including lavatories, toilet bowls and tanks and brass and
plastic fittings. These products are sold primarily to the residential
construction markets and, to a lesser extent, to commercial markets.
Falcon competes primarily with regional manufacturers, and to a lesser
extent, with national manufacturers. Management believes that there are
approximately eight other regional competitors. As part of the Energy Policy
4
<PAGE> 5
Act of 1992, the manufacture of 3.5 gallon per flush toilets for residential use
was prohibited after January 1, 1994. In the past four years, Falcon has
introduced four new models of ceramic toilet bowls which use 1.6 gallons per
flush, approximately 55% less than the average water volume used per flush in
existing toilet bowls, while still preserving the simplicity of conventional
plumbing fixtures.
Ceramic bathroom fixtures and brass and plastic fittings are marketed
through manufacturers' representatives to plumbing wholesalers and plumbing
fixture manufacturers, and to the retail hardware and DIY markets through
wholesalers, packagers, and mass merchants. The market is divided into:
manufacturers that distribute nationally, service all market segments and have
broad product lines; and regional manufacturers that distribute regionally, tend
to emphasize marketing at the wholesale level and have narrower product lines.
AIR PRODUCTS
Falcon is a supplier of consumer and commercial air compressors for home
improvement applications. Falcon manufactures a broad line of air compressors in
the 3/4 to 6 horsepower range and also sells a variety of accessories such as
paint spray guns, air hoses, pneumatic tools and other related items. These
products are primarily used for painting, stapling and nailing applications for
home improvement and construction. Falcon was the first company to introduce
oil-free technology to light-duty air compressors, and since 1979 has been the
primary supplier of Craftsman(R) air compressors to Sears Roebuck and Co.
("Sears"). Sales to Sears account for approximately 19% of the sales of the
Building Products Group.
In fiscal 1991, Falcon acquired the Energair division ("Energair") of the
Ingersoll-Rand Company, whose strong market position in the home center and
warehouse club outlets, has strengthened Falcon's position in the DIY and
refurbishing markets under such trade names as Charge Air Pro(R), Air America(R)
and Pro Air II(R). Falcon also manufactures air compressors under private-label
programs, which has further expanded its customer and distribution base.
ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS GROUP
The Electrical Products Group consists of two broad groups of businesses,
those providing electrical power distribution products for the electric utility
market and those supplying electrical control products for electrical equipment
manufacturers. The principal products manufactured by these businesses include
porcelain insulators and bushings for electrical power transformers, medium
voltage electric cable, underground cable accessories, and interconnect and
timing devices.
The electrical products industry is largely dependent on utility
transmission and distribution expenditures, new construction and spending levels
of those manufacturers who supply electrical equipment. Spending for utility
transmission equipment has been at historically low levels for the last several
years and has not yet begun to improve. This has resulted in excess industry
capacity and continued pricing pressures. Eagle believes that future growth in
revenue and earnings in this industry is largely dependent on increased electric
utility capital spending from the currently depressed levels and further
recovery of the residential and commercial construction markets in North
America.
ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION PRODUCTS
Major products manufactured by these businesses for the electrical power
distribution market include: Elastimold's pre-molded terminators, separable
connectors, cable joints and surge arrestors for underground power distribution
systems; Hendrix's residential power distribution cables, aerial cable systems
and medium voltage accessory products; and Lapp's porcelain insulators, bushings
for electrical power transformers and circuit breakers.
Elastimold is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of underground medium
and high voltage cable accessories for the electric utility industry in North
America. Many of Elastimold's products are used for power distribution systems
related to housing starts. Elastimold has established joint ventures and
partnerships in Europe and Asia to increase its distribution base.
These businesses market their products through a number of distribution
channels, including manufacturers' representatives, original equipment
manufacturers and authorized distributors, as well as through a direct sales
staff. Elastimold's electrical products are marketed directly to North American,
Canadian and European electric utilities through a direct sales staff,
manufacturers' representatives and authorized distributors. Elastimold also
maintains a world-wide presence through joint ventures in western Europe, Japan
and Taiwan. Hendrix markets its products
5
<PAGE> 6
primarily to electric utilities and electrical equipment manufacturers through a
network of manufacturers and distributors. Lapp's products are sold principally
to domestic electric utility companies and to manufacturers of equipment used by
utilities.
Since the electrical power distribution products are used primarily in the
transmission and distribution of electricity, their operating performance
depends in part on the demand for residential and commercial construction.
Although not heavily dependent upon the construction of new power plants, these
companies' business prospects are closely tied to the electric utility industry.
INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS
Eagle's Industrial Electrical Products consists of four businesses,
hereinafter referred to as IEP. These businesses provide products that serve a
wide variety of markets with a number of recognized names such as: Agastat(R)
timers and protective relays; Buchanan(R) electrical terminal blocks and
electronic connectors; Russellstoll(R) medium to high amperage electrical
connectors; pin and sleeve plug and receptacle connector devices for the
world-wide refrigerated container industry. In addition, these businesses
manufacture and distribute airfield transformers, connector kits and cable
assemblies. The product lines are sold through an extensive distributor network,
supplemented with direct sales to original equipment manufacturers and to end
users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.
Eagle has undertaken an extensive cost reduction program since acquiring
the IEP companies in 1989. As a major part of that plan, Eagle relocated one of
IEP's principal manufacturing facilities from New Jersey to Florida in the first
quarter of 1993 in order to improve productivity and quality control, enhance
manufacturing efficiencies and increase labor flexibility.
AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS GROUP
Eagle has three primary businesses which serve various sectors of the
automotive aftermarket: Mighty Distributing System of America ("Mighty"), The
Parts House ("Parts House") and Denman Tire ("Denman"). Major products produced
and/or distributed to the automotive markets include: automotive parts and
accessories and specialty pneumatic tires. Clevaflex manufactures and
distributes multi-ply flexible tubing for carburetor air ducts to original
equipment manufacturers in the automotive market.
Mighty and Parts House distribute automotive parts and accessories
principally throughout the United States. Mighty is an owner and operator of
automotive parts franchise operations and has approximately 150 franchises
nationwide and two distribution centers that sell automotive parts in the
aftermarket to professional dealers and installers. Mighty also markets new
territories and re-markets existing territories to generate franchise fee
revenues. Mighty repackages and distributes Mighty private label auto parts to
franchisees and other company locations, and owns and operates nine locations
directly. Parts House, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is a wholesale
distributor of nationally branded automotive parts and accessories serving
primarily the Southeast region of the United States and operates through three
principal distribution centers.
Denman manufactures and distributes over 1,000 different types of specialty
pneumatic tires, including tires for classic and racing automobiles, all-terrain
vehicles, motorcycles, light and medium duty trucks, farm, mining and other
industrial vehicles. Denman's products are marketed nationally under both the
Denman brand name and the private label names of certain Denman customers.
Denman distributes its tires primarily through five major wholesale
distributors, and services its customers through a direct sales force.
Substantially all of Denman's sales are to the replacement tire market.
Clevaflex manufactures and distributes multi-ply, flexible tubing for
carburetor air ducts used in automobile emission systems and other
automotive-engine compartment applications. Clevaflex has a direct sales force
which distributes its products to original equipment manufacturers in the
automotive markets.
COMMERCIAL AVIATION PRODUCTS
Burns manufactures and distributes commerical airline seating for the
commercial aviation market. The financial difficulties experienced by the
domestic airline industry have resulted in a reduction in capital spending for
commercial aircraft and associated equipment. However, Burns derives a
significant portion of its aviation business from the foreign aviation market,
which has not been as adversely affected as the domestic industry. Eagle
believes
6
<PAGE> 7
that future revenue and earnings growth for this business is largely dependent
on worldwide capital spending in the aviation industry.
Burns manufactures and refurbishes commercial airline seating, including
passenger, observer and flight attendant seating. In addition, Burns
manufactures various spare parts, including seat cushions and covers for
aftermarket sale in the commercial aircraft markets. Burns sells its
Innovator(R), Airest(R) 5, Airest(R) 202 and Airest(R)Commuter seating products
primarily to the major air carriers in the United States and Europe. Burns has
been able to successfully diversify its customer base from a domestic regional
orientation to an international mix and currently derives approximately 70% of
its new seat revenues from foreign carriers.
COMPETITION
Eagle faces competition in each of the various product lines from numerous
firms within the United States and internationally. Eagle's businesses compete
primarily with several domestic competitors in their various markets. Eagle
strives to position its businesses as market leaders, desiring to achieve a
position as one of the top three suppliers in each of the individual markets
which its businesses serve. Eagle's businesses compete with other companies on
the basis of price, service, product quality, availability and delivery. Certain
of Eagle's competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than
Eagle.
SEASONALITY, WORKING CAPITAL AND CYCLICALITY
Sales of certain of Eagle's products are subject to seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors historically have not had a significant effect on working
capital requirements as Eagle has been able to adjust its production to meet
these seasonal demands. Sales of products manufactured within the Building
Products Group are primarily dependent on residential and commercial
construction and home improvement markets. Sales of certain products
manufactured within the Electrical Products Group are also dependent on the
construction industry. Due to seasonal factors associated with the construction
industry, sales of these products are typically lower during the winter season
than at other times of the year. Most of the industries in which the Company
competes are particularly sensitive to changes in the economy. Future downturns
in the economy would negatively affect the Company's operating results. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations".
RAW MATERIALS, SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS
Eagle purchases raw materials, principally steel, aluminum, alloy metals,
clay and other supplies from numerous domestic and foreign suppliers. These raw
materials and other supplies are generally available. Eagle's businesses market
their products to numerous domestic and foreign customers. As previously
discussed, Sears accounts for approximately 19% of sales in the Building
Products Group.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Eagle and its subsidiaries invest in research and development of new
products. See Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for
information regarding research and development expenses.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND FRANCHISES
There are several registered patents and trademarks used by businesses
within the Building Products Group, the Electrical Products Group and the
Automotive Products Group, none of which are individually significant to the
consolidated operations of Eagle. Eagle's businesses do not materially rely on
any single patent, license or franchise.

BACKLOG
The following table indicates the approximate backlog for each of Eagle's
business groups as of the dates indicated. Approximately $34 million of the
backlog at December 31, 1994 is expected to be shipped in 1996 or after,
substantially all of which relates to Burns.

</TABLE>
INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD:
INVESTMENT IN VIGORO
As of December 31, 1994, GAMI owned approximately 5.8 million shares or
29.5% of the outstanding common stock of Vigoro, which is engaged in the
agricultural chemicals and fertilizer business. The Company accounts for its
investment in Vigoro under the equity method. The common stock of Vigoro is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VGR" and closed at
$30.00 per share on December 31, 1994. Dividends received by the Company on its
ownership of Vigoro common stock have been less than income recorded under the
equity method.
Vigoro's results of operations have historically been influenced by a
number of factors beyond Vigoro's control, which have at times had a significant
effect on Vigoro's operating results. A significant factor affecting Vigoro's
operations is U.S. fertilizer demand which is itself affected by a variety of
factors, including planted acreage, U.S. agricultural policies (including
subsidy and acreage set-aside programs), projected grain stocks and weather.
Vigoro's export sales are influenced by world supply and demand conditions and
foreign governmental policies. Vigoro's business is highly seasonal with a
substantial portion of its sales and earnings occurring during the months of
April through June. Vigoro focuses on four areas of the agricultural chemicals
and fertilizer industry: potash, agribusiness, specialty/lawn and garden, and
industrial.
During 1994, Vigoro consummated two asset acquisitions for total
consideration of $138.4 million. Included in the consideration for these
acquisions was 0.6 million shares of Vigoro's common stock.
INVESTMENT IN COMMODORE
As of December 31, 1994, the Company owned approximately 56.0% of the
outstanding stock of The Commodore Corporation ("Commodore"). Commodore
manufactures mobile homes. The Company had transferred control of the operating
decisions of Commodore to the president of Commodore, subject to fulfilling
certain conditions, and therefore accounted for its investment in Commodore
under the equity method. On March 2, 1995, the Company sold its entire interest
in Commodore for $20.4 million realizing a pretax gain of approximately $6.0
million.
FINANCIAL SERVICES:
The Company, through GAFG, manages and operates a diverse portfolio of real
estate investments divided into three major lines: ownership of a loan
portfolio; ownership of real estate and management and operation of real estate
limited partnerships. Substantially all of GAFG's loan and real estate portfolio
investments are located in the Southeast and Southwest United States. Certain of
the loans are with entities affiliated with the Company and its subsidiaries.
GAFG's position with respect to its loan and real estate portfolio has been, and
is expected to continue to be, to sell such loans or properties given an
acceptable price. Currently, GAFG is not actively seeking new investments to
increase its loan or real estate portfolio. During 1994, GAFG's loan portfolio
was substantially reduced through loan payoffs and sales of properties, which
have significantly affected this segment's revenues and results of operations.
Certain subsidiaries of GAFG serve as general partner to various real estate
limited partnerships (the "Partnerships" or "Partnership"), generating certain
fees in this capacity. The Company and its
8
<PAGE> 9
subsidiaries have not sponsored a Partnership since 1990 and are not expected to
sponsor Partnerships in the near future. As a result, the services provided and
related fees earned will continue to diminish.
OTHER MATTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company's subsidiaries are subject to various environmental laws
concerning air emissions, discharges into water and the generation, handling,
storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. In
addition to costs associated with regulatory compliance, companies such as those
within GAMI, which in prior years have disposed of hazardous material at various
sites, may be liable under various federal and state laws for the costs of the
clean-up of such sites. It is impossible to predict accurately the Company's
future expenditures for environmental matters; however, the Company anticipates
that future environmental requirements will become more stringent, which may
result in increased expenditures. It is the Company's policy to take all
reasonable measures to control and eliminate pollution resulting from its
operations. The Company believes that as a general matter its policies,
practices and procedures in these areas are adequate to prevent unreasonable
risk of environmental and other damage, and the resulting financial liability.
The Company believes, based on consultations with legal counsel and
environmental consultants and its own reviews of the nature and extent of
potential liabilities, that compliance with existing environmental protection
laws, including those requiring clean-up of hazardous waste, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or competitive position. The Company believes that its reserves
related to enviromental liabilities are adequate. The amounts spent by the
Company on environmental expenditures were not material to the Company's results
of operations or financial position in the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1993, the five months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 and in fiscal 1992. It is
impossible, however, to predict with certainty the level of expenditures with
respect to any such obligations, in part because a substantial portion of any
expenditure is a function of unsettled and evolving enforcement and regulatory
policies in states where the Company conducts its business.
EMPLOYEES
The Company's continuing operations employed approximately 7,000 employees
as of December 31, 1994. Approximately 2,500 employees are represented by 13
unions. Collective bargaining is conducted on a subsidiary-by-subsidiary basis
with local unions belonging to various national and international unions.
Management believes that labor relations are satisfactory at all subsidiaries.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's manufacturing, warehouse, distribution and office facilities
are located in 68 locations and total approximately 6.0 million square feet. The
Company believes these facilities, which are summarized below, are adequate for
its current and forseeable requirements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements included herein.
GENERAL
After the sale of certain businesses in the Industrial Products Group and
Specialty Products Group the Company has three manufacturing reportable
segments. The operations of Burns are now combined with Corporate. In 1993, the
Company was actively pursuing options for the sale of Lapp and reflected it as a
discontinued operation. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company decided that
the value of this business would be maximized by retaining Lapp as part of its
continuing operations and restructuring the business. Accordingly, Lapp has been
reclassified to continuing operations as part of the Electrical Products Group
for all periods presented. Additionally, since the fourth quarter of 1994, the
Company has been actively pursuing the sale of Equality Specialties, Inc.
("Equality") and has, accordingly, classified Equality as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented.
Effective in October 1993, the Company changed its year end from July 31 to
December 31. Information for the year ended December 31, 1992 is unaudited and
has been presented for comparative purposes only.
As disclosed in Notes 1 and 8 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 effective January
1, 1993. By adopting this standard, the Company increased its net deferred tax
assets by $8.6 million and recorded a corresponding benefit of $8.6 million.
As disclosed in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 112 effective December 31, 1993.
By adopting this standard, the Company increased its accrued expenses by $3.0
million and recorded a corresponding pretax charge of $3.0 million.

</TABLE>
Consolidated net sales and revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994
were $129.1 million or 14.6% higher than net sales for the year ended December
31, 1993. This increase was primarily due to increased volume in most of the
Company's businesses.
Net sales of $440.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the
Building Products Group were $68.4 million or 18.4% higher than in the 1993
period. This increase resulted from an increased level of housing starts,
continued strong growth in the repair and remodeling markets and market share
gains. Sales to Sears increased due to higher volume of redesigned Craftsman(R)
air compressors. Price increases and continued market penetration of flexible
duct products, as well as geographic expansion into the Western United States,
generated higher net sales of air distribution and air handling products.
Changes in governmental regulations requiring the use of low water volume
toilets generated increased sales of ultra-low-flush toilets.
Net sales of $279.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the
Electrical Products Group were $18.8 million or 7.2% higher than in the 1993
period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at Hendrix and
Elastimold due to an improvement in the economy, a product line acquisition at
Elastimold in 1993 and to a lesser extent, an improvement in pricing. This
increase was partially offset by decreased volume at Lapp due to soft markets
and the sale of its polymer product line.
Net sales of $182.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the
Automotive Products Group were $18.1 million or 11.0% higher than in the 1993
period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at most businesses
within the group, due to increased market penetration and geographic expansion.
Other net sales of $90.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
$25.1 million or 38.2% higher than in the 1993 period. This increase was
primarily due to shipments under a major order from British Airways at Burns.
Revenues of $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the
Financial Services Group were $1.3 million or 7.2% lower than revenues for the
1993 period. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of the sale of two
properties in 1993 and one property in the third quarter of 1994. The decrease
was partially offset by the effect of the foreclosure of a loan receivable
during 1993 and $1.6 million of additional interest participation on a loan
receivable that matured in January 1995.

====== ====== ====== ======
</TABLE>
Consolidated operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was
$36.0 million compared to $10.2 million in 1993. This increase was primarily due
to $28.6 million of charges related to the Madison bankruptcy and $9.6 million
of loan reserves recorded in 1993. In addition, $24.6 million of restructuring
charges in the Electrical Products Group were recorded for Lapp in 1994.
Excluding these charges and $4.1 million of Madison charges in 1994, operating
income increased $16.3 million. This increase was primarily due to increased
sales volume, partially offset by $8.7 million of charges recorded to establish
additional insurance reserves.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the Building
Products Group was $5.9 million or 12.6% higher than in 1993. This increase was
primarily due to increased volume partially offset by $3.9 million of charges to
establish self-insurance reserves.
Operating income for the Electrical Products Group of $9.9 million in 1993
declined to an operating loss of $7.3 million in 1994. The operating loss in
1994 resulted primarily from charges of $24.6 million related to Lapps exit from
its polymer product line and the restructuring of its porcelain operations. In
1993, IEP recorded restructuring charges of $2.0 million related to the
relocation of one of its manufacturing facilities and Elastimold recorded
restructuring charges of $0.6 million related to an early retirement program.
See Notes 3 and 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for a
further discussion regarding these charges. Excluding the effects of
restructuring charges in 1994 and 1993, operating income for the year ended
December 31, 1994 for the Electrical Products Group was $4.8 million or 37.6%
higher than in 1993. This increase was primarily due to increased volume and, to
a lesser extent, improved pricing at Hendrix and Elastimold. Excluding the
effects of restructuring charges, operating margins were 6.2% and 4.8% for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, due to the above-mentioned
factors.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1994 for the Automotive
Products Group was $2.6 million or 41.8% higher than in 1993. This increase was
primarily due to increased volume at most businesses within this group,
partially offset by $0.5 million of charges recorded to establish self-insurance
reserves. Operating margins were 4.9% and 3.8% for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, due to the above-mentioned factors.
Corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $3.5
million or 16.8% higher than in the 1993 period. This increase was primarily due
to $1.6 million of charges recorded to establish self-insurance reserves and
$5.2 million of expenses associated with the Company's asset securitization
program. These increases were partially offset by improvements at Burns due to
increased volume and the write-down of certain receivables and inventory in
1993. The 1993 period also reflected a one-time curtailment gain associated with
a pension plan of $1.3 million.
Operating income was $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 for
the Financial Services Group as compared to an operating loss of $4.0 million in
1993. This increase was primarily due to $9.6 million of loan receivable
valuation reserves recorded in 1993 and $1.6 million of additional interest
participation recorded in 1994 on a loan receivable that matured in January
1995.

Other charges for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 represent the
Company's recording of reserves related to the Madison bankruptcy (see Note 16
to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of
the Madison bankruptcy).
EARNINGS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD
Earnings accounted for by the equity method were $19.8 million and $19.6
million for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. A decrease
in the Company's share of earnings from Vigoro of $0.5 million was primarily
caused by the Company's decrease in ownership of Vigoro's outstanding common
stock from approximately 47% to 30% in such periods. Offsetting the decrease in
ownership, was Vigoro's improved earnings in 1994 as compared to 1993. The
improvement primarily reflected increased nitrogen-based sales volume primarily
as a result of the acquisition of both Mid-Ohio Chemical Company and Koos, Inc.
during 1994, favorable Spring weather conditions, an increase in the number of
acres planted, an increase in fertilizer application rates, increased potash
sales as a result of factors discussed above, and higher export and domestic
volumes. An increase in the Company's share of earnings from Commodore of $0.7
million was primarily a result of favorable margins on increased volume.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense related to continuing operations was $37.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to $65.2 million for the comparable
1993 period. This decrease was primarily due to the overall decrease in the
level of debt coupled with the decrease in interest rates associated with the
refinancing completed in January 1994.
INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (BEFORE INCOME TAXES)
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was $79.3 million. This was primarily due to the $61.0 million
gain on the sale of Falcon's stock, partially offset by the aforementioned $24.6
million restructuring charges for Lapp and a $4.1 million reserve adjustment
related to the Madison bankruptcy.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's tax benefit from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 1994 reflected the tax-free gain on the sale of subsidiary stock,
the 80% income exclusion on Vigoro dividends and the reversal of the valuation
allowance partially offset by non-deductible expenses including goodwill
amortization. See Note 8 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for
a further analysis of income taxes.
During 1993, a valuation allowance was established against the deferred tax
assets due to uncertainties associated with the ultimate resolution of the
Madison bankruptcy. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, estimates
were made as to the potential financial impact on the Company should adverse
judgments be rendered. In determining the appropriate valuation allowance,
management used the upper limit of the probable financial range estimated for
this matter. In addition, the Company believed that possible limitations existed
related to the Company's ability to implement certain tax planning strategies.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company eliminated its valuation allowance
when it substantially reduced its exposure in the Madison bankruptcy by
purchasing the Pipe Claims (see Note 16 of the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements for a further discussion of the Madison bankruptcy).
As discussed in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements,
subsequent to the Offering, a separate U.S. federal income tax return will be
filed for Falcon. Primarily all of the Company's deferred tax assets relate to
its non-Falcon businesses. Management believes that future taxable income and
tax planning strategies are available, principally related to the sale of
certain assets, if necessary, to fully realize the recorded net deferred tax
assets and, accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded at December
31, 1994.

</TABLE>
Excluding the effects of acquisitions, consolidated net sales and revenues
for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $24.2 or 2.8% higher than net sales
for the year ended December 31, 1992. This increase was primarily due to
increased volume at the Company's automotive parts distribution businesses,
Denman and Falcon, partially offset by declines at Burns and Lapp.
Net sales of $372.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the
Building Products Group were $27.1 million or 7.9% higher than in the 1992
period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume and, to a lesser
extent, improved pricing. These increases were primarily the result of
improvement in the residential construction market.
Net sales of $261.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the
Electrical Products Group were $4.1 million or 1.6% higher than in the 1992
period. Approximately $2.4 million of the increase was due to a product line
acquisition made by Elastimold. The remainder of the increase was primarily due
to increased volume and improved pricing at Hendrix and increased international
volume at Elastimold, partially offset by decreased volume and price declines at
Lapp caused by softness in the economy and lower porcelain insulator volume.
Net sales of $164.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the
Automotive Products Group were $24.4 million or 17.5% higher than in the 1992
period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at Denman and as a
result of an increase in the customer base at the automotive parts distribution
businesses.
Other net sales of $65.6 million were $31.5 or 32.4% lower than in the 1992
period. The decrease was due to lower volume at Burns due to decreased
expenditures in the aviation industry and a large order in the 1992 period,
which was not repeated in 1993.
Revenues of $18.0 million for the Financial Services Group for the year
ended December 31, 1993 were $2.5 million or 16.1% higher than revenues for the
1992 period. The increase was primarily due to the foreclosure of a hotel loan
receivable in mid-1992 and another hotel loan in early 1993 and corresponding
recognition of hotel revenues recognized as the Company commenced operating
these hotels. The increase was partially offset by the sale of four properties
during the 1992 and 1993 periods including one of the aforementioned hotels.

</TABLE>
Consolidated operating income for the year ended December 31, 1993 was
$10.2 million compared to operating income of $45.9 million in 1992. In the
manufacturing sectors, excluding restructuring charges of $2.6 million,
15
<PAGE> 16
operating income decreased $7.7 million or 13.8%. This decrease was primarily
due to lower sales volume at Lapp and Burns, and a write down of certain
inventory and receivables at Burns of $6.7 million. The decline was partially
offset by increased sales volume at Denman and the Company's automotive parts
distribution businesses and an increase in price and volume at Hendrix and
Falcon. Other charges relate to reserves for the Madison bankrupcy.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Building
Products Group was $3.4 million or 7.7% higher than in 1992. This increase was
primarily due to improved pricing and increased volume of air distribution and
air handling products, partially offset by decreased pricing and higher
operating costs at the bathroom plumbing fixtures operations. Operating margin
for the group was 12.8% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.
The Electrical Products Group recorded restructuring charges totaling $2.6
million in the third and fourth quarter of 1993. Elastimold recorded charges of
$0.6 million related to an early retirement program. IEP recorded charges of
$2.0 million for additional costs associated with the relocation of one of its
manufacturing facilities from New Jersey to Florida. Excluding the effects of
restructuring charges, operating income for the Electrical Products Group was
$5.2 million or 29.4% lower than in 1992. This decrease was primarily due to
decreased volume and pricing at Lapp and declines at Elastimold caused by
decreased earnings at its European joint venture. These decreases were partially
offset by improved pricing at Hendrix and reduced manufacturing costs at IEP.
Excluding the effects of restructuring charges, operating margins were 4.8% and
6.9% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the
above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Automotive
Products Group was $2.6 million or 72.5% higher than in 1992. This increase was
primarily due to increased sales volume at Denman and the automotive parts
distribution businesses. Operating margins were 3.8% and 2.6% for the years
ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the above mentioned
factors.
Corporate and other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $7.7
million or 58.8% higher than in the 1992 period. This increase was primarily due
to lower volume and prices at Burns, as well as a write-down of certain
receivables and inventory at Burns, partially offset by a one-time curtailment
gain of $1.3 million associated with a pension plan.
Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Financial
Services Group was $4.0 million as compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million
in 1992. The losses were due primarily to $9.6 million and $7.2 million of loan
receivable valuation reserves recorded in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Other charges represent the Company's recording of reserves related to the
Madison bankruptcy case.
EARNINGS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD
Earnings accounted for by the equity method were $19.6 and $21.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. A decrease in the
Company's share of earnings from Vigoro of $1.4 million was primarily caused by
the Company's decrease in ownership of Vigoro's outstanding common stock from
47% to 30% during 1993. A decrease in the Company's share of earnings from
Commodore of $0.7 million was primarily due to a short-term downturn in volume
during 1993.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense related to continuing operations was $65.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $62.9 million for the comparable
1992 period. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest
income.
LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (BEFORE INCOME TAXES)
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended
December 31, 1993 was $13.5 million compared to $0.4 million in 1992. The
increase was primarily due to a $48.9 million gain on the sale of the Company's
holdings of Vigoro stock partially offset by reserves related to the Madison
bankruptcy of $28.3 million, the write-down of certain accounts receivable and
inventory of $6.7 million at Burns and restructuring charges totaling $2.6
million at IEP and Elastimold.

<PAGE> 17
INCOME TAXES
The Company's tax provision from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 1993 reflected the significant amount of non-deductible expenses
including goodwill amortization. See Note 8 to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements for a further analysis of income taxes.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In September 1993, the Company adopted a formal plan to sell Lapp. As a
result, Lapp was reflected as a discontinued operation. In the fourth quarter of
1994, the Company concluded that the value of this business would be maximized
by retaining Lapp as part of its continuing operations and restructuring the
business. As a result, the net assets and results of operations for all periods
presented have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing
operations. See Notes 3 and 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
for a further discussion regarding Lapp.
In September 1994, the Company sold certain assets of Caron International,
Inc. ("Caron") for cash proceeds of $3.0 million and a $4.0 million note. In
August 1994, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of
Hill Refrigeration, Inc. ("Hill") for cash proceeds of $8.8 million. In
addition, the Company is pursuing the sale of Gerry Sportswear, Inc.("Gerry")
and Equality. The Company recorded a pretax charge of $53.2 million and
applicable tax benefits of $12.9 million in 1994 for estimated losses from
operations and the ultimate disposition of Hill, Caron and Gerry. No losses from
operations and the ultimate disposition are expected related to Equality. The
Company also recorded pretax charges in 1994 of $5.8 million and applicable tax
benefits of $2.3 million to establish additional self-insurance reserves and
$6.4 million of additional reserves and applicable tax benefits of $2.2 million
for costs associated with businesses previously sold by the Company.
In June 1994, the Company sold the stock of Pfaudler, Inc. ("Pfaudler") and
Chemineer, Inc. ("Chemineer") to Robbins & Myers, Inc. The Company received cash
proceeds of $59.9 million and a $50.0 million, 5.5% subordinated note (accreted
value of $36.3 million at December 31, 1994). In addition, the Company received
stock appreciation rights with respect to 2.0 million shares of common stock of
Robbins & Myers, Inc. The Company recorded a pretax gain of $21.8 million and
applicable taxes of $6.7 million with respect to the sale of Pfaudler and
Chemineer.
The Company sold Power Structures and certain assets of Underground
Technologies in the fourth quarter of 1993 for total proceeds of $3.5 million.
The Company made a provision of $13.4 million for estimated losses from
operations and from the ultimate disposition of these businesses.
In February, 1993, the Company sold a 60% interest in Signet Armorlite,
Inc. ("Signet") to Galileo Industrie Ottiche, S.p.A. ("Galileo"). Signet
manufactures and distributes ophthalmic lenses used for eyeglasses and also
distributes supplies used in ophthalmic lens processing. The Company received
cash proceeds of approximately $23.0 million from the sale, which were used to
reduce outstanding debt. The Company recorded a pretax loss of $5.0 million
with a corresponding tax benefit of $2.0 in December 1992. See Note 3 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the
sale agreement and resulting accounting treatment.
During fiscal 1992, the Company and its subsidiaries completed the sale of
its process pump business, Pulsafeeder, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Pulsafeeder"),
for total cash and other consideration of $69.0 million, as a result of which a
net gain of approximately $10.6 million was recorded during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1992.
Interest expense allocated to these discontinued businesses primarily
represented interest expense associated with debt assumed by the buyer or debt
related to the discontinued businesses that will no longer be incurred by the
Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, certain interest expense related to
Eagle and its subsidiaries' revolving lines of credit has also been allocated to
discontinued operations based on the percentage of net assets sold to total
consolidated net assets plus indebtedness of Eagle. Interest expense related to
Eagle's subordinated notes has not been allocated to these discontinued
operations. The Company believes the method used to allocate interest expense to
discontinued businesses is reasonable.
The provision for income taxes reflected for discontinued businesses
recognizes the tax effects related specifically to the discontinued businesses.
Income tax benefits of $6.5 million were recorded in connection with the
ultimate disposition of companies recorded as discontinued operations in 1994.
For 1993, no income tax benefit from the disposition of companies was
recognized. The tax benefits recorded differ from that computed by utilizing the
U.S. federal tax rate due to certain non-deductible losses, principally the
write down of goodwill and the
17
<PAGE> 18
establishment of an income tax valuation allowance. Income tax expense of $18.7
million was provided against the net gains on disposal of businesses in fiscal
1992. The tax recorded on the gains recorded in fiscal 1992 differs from that
computed by utilizing the U.S. federal tax rate due to state taxes, certain
non-deductible losses, the effect of net-of-tax accounting, the effect of
foreign tax credits and excess tax gain over the book gain attributable to
differences between the book and tax basis of assets related to businesses sold.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company and its subsidiaries have historically met its debt service,
capital expenditure requirements and operating needs through a combination of
operating cash flow and external financing.
OPERATING CASH FLOW
Cash flow from continuing operating activities ("Operating Cash Flow") was
$176.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Excluding the effects of
the asset securitization program, Operating Cash Flow was $66.3 million compared
to $19.7 million in 1993. This increase was primarily due to increased earnings,
improved working capital management and a reduction in the amount of interest
paid as a result of the Refinancing (defined below).
CREDIT FACILITIES
In January 1994, Eagle consummated a refinancing (the "Refinancing"), the
proceeds of which were utilized to repay and redeem all of its then outstanding
bank credit facilities, the remaining $149.0 million of its 13% Senior
Subordinated Notes ("13% Notes") and the 13.75% Senior Subordinated Notes
("13.75% Notes"). A portion of the proceeds from the Refinancing were derived
from a new $425.0 million senior bank credit facility made available to Eagle
Industrial Products Corporation ("Eagle Industrial"), a newly formed wholly
owned subsidiary of Eagle. Eagle also entered into an asset securitization
program (the "Securitization") whereby it sold certain of its accounts
receivable for approximately $110.3 million. In addition, Eagle received a
capital contribution from GAMI of $50.0 million in connection with the
Refinancing. The Company recorded a pretax extraordinary charge of $26.0 million
in the first quarter of 1994 related to the Refinancing. In November 1994, as a
result of the Offering, this bank credit facility was bifurcated into two
separate bank credit facilities, including a $165.0 million facility for Falcon
and an amended and restated $177.0 million credit facility for Eagle Industrial.
The Eagle Industrial credit facility consists of a $92.0 million term loan
and an $85.0 million revolving credit facility and expires in 2000. The Falcon
credit facility consists of a $115.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million
revolving credit facility and also expires in 2000. At December 31, 1994, an
additional $11.1 million and $21.5 million was available to borrow under the
Eagle Industrial and Falcon credit facilities, respectively. See Note 6 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the
Eagle Industrial and Falcon credit facilities.
In July 1993, Eagle completed a tender offer for $151.0 million of its 13%
Notes. The tender of the $151.0 million of the 13% Notes was funded through a
concurrent sale of $315.0 million principal amount of Senior Deferred Coupon
Notes due 2003 ("Notes"). Cash interest will be payable at a rate of 10.5% per
annum commencing on January 15, 1999 until maturity on July 15, 2003. The net
proceeds, after deducting the tender premium, consent payments, interest on the
13% Notes tendered and other fees and expenses, amounted to approximately $167.0
million. In connection with the tender of the 13% Notes, the Company recognized
an extraordinary charge of $14.2 million for call premiums and expenses.
During 1994, the Company retired $55.9 million face value ($37.8 million
accreted value) of the Notes. In conjunction with this retirement, the Company
recorded an extraordinary pretax gain of $0.5 million.
In September 1994, GAMI's senior credit facility with Chemical Bank matured
and was repaid in full. In October 1994, GAMI's senior credit facility with the
Bank of America Illinois (formerly Continental Bank) matured and was repaid in
full. Concurrent with the repayment, GAMI entered into a new credit agreement
(the "GAMI Credit Facility") with Bank of America Illinois. The GAMI Credit
Facility is a $25.0 million credit facility which matures on September 30, 1996.
Mandatory commitment reductions of $2.5 million each will occur on August 15,
1995, February 15, 1996, May 15, 1996 and August 15, 1996. The GAMI Credit
Facility is secured by a pledge of 1.6 million shares of Vigoro common stock.
As of December 31, 1994, $10.1 million was outstanding against the GAMI Credit
Facility.
18
<PAGE> 19
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures were $32.9 million and $25.3 million for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Capital expenditures were $12.6
million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and $20.8 million in fiscal
1992.
In addition to normal maintenance expenditures, the Company also expects to
incur additional capital expenditures to develop new products and improve
product quality. Capital expenditures will be funded through operating cash flow
and through availability under various credit facilities. The Company had no
material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 1994.
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Although the Company has historically made a number of acquisitions, it has
not made any material acquisitions since fiscal 1990. While certain preliminary
discussions are at varying stages at this time, the Company currently does not
have any contract or arrangement with respect to a material acquisition.
The Company has sold a number of businesses, realizing cash proceeds of
$71.7 million in 1994, $25.9 million in 1993, $17.0 million in the five months
ended December 31, 1992 and $67.4 million in fiscal 1992. The Company has
considered, and in the future will consider, proposals for the sale of some or
all of its interests in its businesses.
OTHER LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS
The Company believes that currently it has or will have adequate access to
capital resources to meet its long and short-term requirements. These resources
include credit facilities available to GAMI and Eagle, funds available through
participation in the Securitization, dividends from its investment in Vigoro and
potentially the proceeds from sales, or borrowings secured by all or a portion
of its investment in Vigoro, the operations of its Manufacturing and Financial
Services businesses, as well as the ability to leverage or sell certain assets
or refinance existing loans as they come due. At December 31, 1994, the Company
had cash and cash equivalents of $34.9 million.
The Company is structured as a holding company with its operations
conducted principally through subsidiaries. Under its Notes, Eagle has no
principal payments due until 2003 and no cash interest payments due until
January 1999. Eagle Industrial and Falcon own all the manufacturing operating
subsidiaries. Eagle Industrial and Falcon will rely almost exclusively on income
and cash flow from each of their operating subsidiaries to generate the funds
necessary to meet its debt service obligations as defined in "Credit Facilities"
above. In addition, the credit facilities and agreements to which Eagle or its
subsidiaries are a party, restrict the ability of Eagle or its subsidiaries to
incur further indebtedness. See Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In November 1994, Falcon completed an initial public offering of 6,000,000
shares (30%) of its common stock at an offering price of $12.00 per share which
generated net cash proceeds to the Company of $63.1 million. Substantially all
of the cash proceeds were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness. The Company
recorded a tax free gain of $61.0 million in conjunction with the Offering.
Subsequent to the Offering, a separate U.S. federal income tax return will
be filed for Falcon. Primarily all of the Company's deferred tax assets of
$126.5 million at December 31, 1994 relate to its non-Falcon businesses.
Management believes that future taxable income and tax planning strategies are
available, principally through the sale of certain assets and stock, if
necessary, to fully realize the recorded net deferred tax assets and
accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 1994.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on
operations during the period August 1, 1991 through December 31, 1994 in any of
the countries or industries in which the Company competes.

GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION:
Great American Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI" or the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Eagle Industries,
Inc. ("Eagle"), owns 10 manufacturing businesses which have been classified into
the following three business segments: Building Products Group, Electrical
Products Group and Automotive Products Group. The Company directly owns an
investment in the common stock of an agricultural chemicals and fertilizer
company (The Vigoro Corporation, "Vigoro", whose stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange) and directly owned an investment in the common stock of a
manufacturer of mobile homes (The Commodore Corporation, "Commodore"). The
Company accounts for its investments in Vigoro and Commodore under the equity
method. In March 1995, GAMI sold its equity interest in Commodore. In addition,
the Company owns a portfolio of real estate properties, real estate limited
partnerships and loans receivable through its subsidiary Great American
Financial Group, Inc. ("GAFG").
In October 1993, the Company changed its year end from July 31 to December
31.
SALE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK:
In November 1994, Falcon Building Products, Inc. ("Falcon"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Eagle, completed an initial public offering of 6,000,000 shares
(30%) of its common stock (the "Offering"). The Company recorded a tax free gain
of $61.0 million in conjunction with the Offering. Substantially all of the cash
proceeds were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness. Falcon is a domestic
manufacturer and distributor for the residential and commercial construction and
home improvement markets and is comprised of the Company's Building Products
Group.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
All highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes raw
materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. The last-in, first-out ("LIFO")
method of inventory valuation was used for 59.4% and 57.2% of inventory at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The first-in first-out ("FIFO") method
of inventory valuation was used for the remaining inventory.
LOANS RECEIVABLE AND REAL ESTATE:
Loans receivable and real estate are stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. When the Company believes that a loan has been permanently
impaired, the Company records a valuation allowance in an amount needed to bring
the carrying value of the loan to the estimated present value of cash flows
anticipated to be received from such loan, including interest. Real estate
acquired through foreclosure is generally retained as operating property.
Depreciation on real estate is generally provided on the straight-line method
based upon the estimated useful life of the property.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Cost is based on appraised
fair market values when allocating the purchase price for acquisitions. The
straight-line method is generally used to provide for depreciation over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

DECEMBER 31, 1994
GOODWILL:
Goodwill represents the purchase price associated with acquired businesses
in excess of the fair value of the net
assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis primarily over
forty years. Accumulated amortization was $46.0 million and $37.3 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill allocated
to each of its individual acquired businesses as follows: A) continuing
operations -- whenever current operating income is not sufficient to recover
current amortization of goodwill or when events and circumstances indicate that
future operating income and cash flow may be negatively affected, the
recoverability is evaluated based upon the estimated future operating income and
undiscounted cash flow of the related entity during the remaining period of
goodwill amortization, and; B) entities to be divested -- the carrying value of
the net assets of each entity, including the amount of goodwill assigned
thereto, is compared to the expected divestiture proceeds. If a loss is
indicated, it is recorded when known; gains are recorded when the divestiture
occurs.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Sales are recognized when products are shipped or services are performed.
The Company discontinues the accrual of interest income on loans receivable when
conditions exist which cause the Company to believe the collection of principal
or interest is doubtful.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS
No. 112") effective December 31, 1993. By adopting this standard, the Company
increased its accrued expenses by $3.0 million and recorded a corresponding
pretax charge of $3.0 million reflected as a "Cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle".
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
Research, product development and engineering facilities are maintained at
various subsidiary locations. Research and development efforts center on
developing improved materials and designs for existing products and the creation
of new products and equipment. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Research and development costs were $2.5 million and $1.3 million for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, $0.8 million for the
five months ended December 31, 1992 and $1.6 million in fiscal 1992.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"("SFAS No. 109") effective
January 1, 1993. This new standard changed the Company's method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method required under APB No. 11 to the asset
and liability method. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
(See Note 8.)
Subsequent to the Offering, a separate U.S. federal income tax return will
be filed for Falcon.
INTEREST EXPENSE RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
Interest expense allocated to the discontinued businesses principally
represents interest expense related to debt assumed by the buyer or debt related
to the discontinued businesses that will no longer be incurred by the Company or
its subsidiaries. In addition, certain interest expense related to the Company
and its subsidiaries' revolving lines of credit has also been allocated to
discontinued operations based on the percentage of net assets sold or to be sold
to total consolidated net assets plus indebtedness of the Company. Interest
expense related to the Company's subordinated notes has not been allocated to
the discontinued businesses. The Company believes the method used to allocate
interest to discontinued businesses is reasonable.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:
Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each year. Earnings per share from continuing
operations are computed after giving effect to preferred dividends (see Note
13).
(2) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
In January 1994, Eagle entered into an asset securitization program (the
"Securitization") whereby it sold certain of its accounts receivable for
proceeds of $110.3 million and a residual interest in a trust to which the
receivables are transferred. In connection with the Securitization, Eagle
entered into a receivable sale agreement whereby it will sell, with limited
recourse, on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in substantially all of
its accounts receivable. Under the agreement, which expires in 1999, the maximum
amount of proceeds which may be accessed through this agreement at any one time
is $145.0 million and is subject to change based on the level of eligible
receivables and restrictions on concentration of receivables. At December 31,
1994, uncollected receivables sold under the agreement were $114.3 million. The
cost related to the sale of receivables under this program was $5.2 million in
the year ended December 31, 1994 and is included in selling and administrative
expenses. The residual interest in the trust of $28.4 million is reflected in
other current assets.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In September 1993, the Company adopted a formal plan to sell Lapp Insulator
Company ("Lapp"). As a result, Lapp was reflected as a discontinued operation.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company concluded that the value of this
business would be maximized by retaining Lapp as part of its continuing
operations and restructured the business. As a result, the net assets and
results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified from
discontinued operations to continuing operations. See Note 9 for a further
discussion regarding Lapp.
In September 1994, the Company sold certain assets of Caron International,
Inc. ("Caron") for cash proceeds of $3.0 million and a $4.0 million note. In
August 1994, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of
Hill Refrigeration, Inc. ("Hill") for cash proceeds of $8.8 million. In
addition, the Company is pursuing the sales of Gerry Sportswear, Inc. ("Gerry")
and Equality Specialties, Inc. ("Equality"). The Company recorded a pretax
provision of $53.2 million and applicable tax benefits of $12.9 million in 1994
for estimated losses from operations and the ultimate disposition of Hill, Caron
and Gerry. No losses from operations and ultimate disposition are expected
related to Equality. The Company also recorded pretax charges in 1994 of $5.8
million and applicable tax benefits of $2.3 million to establish additional
self-insurance reserves and $6.4 million of additional reserves and applicable
tax benefits of $2.2 million for costs associated with businesses previously
sold by the Company.
In June 1994, the Company sold the stock of Pfaudler, Inc. ("Pfaudler") and
Chemineer, Inc. ("Chemineer") to Robbins & Myers, Inc. The Company received cash
proceeds of $59.9 million and a $50.0 million, 5.5% subordinated note. The
accreted value of the note was $36.3 million at December 31, 1994 and is
included in other assets. In addition, Eagle received stock appreciation rights
with respect to 2.0 million shares of common stock of Robbins & Myers, Inc. The
Company recorded a pretax gain of $21.8 million and applicable taxes of $6.7
million with respect to the sale of Pfaudler and Chemineer.
The Company sold Power Structures and certain assets of Underground
Technologies in the fourth quarter of 1993 for total proceeds of $3.5 million.
The Company recorded a provision of $13.4 million for estimated losses from
operations and from the ultimate disposition of these businesses.
In February 1993, the Company sold a 60% interest in Signet Armorlite, Inc.
("Signet") to Galileo Industrie Ottiche, S.p.A. ("Galileo"). The Company
received cash proceeds of approximately $23.0 million and recorded a pretax loss
of $5.0 million with a corresponding tax benefit of $2.0 million in December
1992. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company has the right to put
(the "Put") its remaining 40% interest in Signet to Galileo on February 26,
1998. Galileo has the right to acquire the remaining 40% interest (the "Call")
held by Eagle any time prior to February 26, 1998. While the Company retains a
40% interest: it has no obligation to fund future losses or

make additional investments; it has a less than majority board representation;
it has given up substantially all of its rights to future earnings or
appreciation related to its 40% interest; and it intends to exercise its Put in
the event that Galileo does not exercise its Call. The price under either the
Put or Call is $14.9 million. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Galileo
also has the right to put certain of Signets plant and equipment to the Company
from February 26, 1997 through February 26, 1998 for $10.0 million.
In May, 1992, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
Pulsafeeder, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Pulsafeeder"). Total
consideration received by the Company was $69.0 million. The Company recorded a
pretax gain of $29.3 million with a corresponding tax provision of $18.7 million
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992.
The following table summarizes key financial data related to the
discontinued operations of Pfaudler, Cheminer, Hill, Caron, Gerry, Power
Structures, Underground Technologies, Signet, Pulsafeeder and Equality:

The net current assets of discontinued operations included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1994 amounted to $32.3 million, and
consisted primarily of receivables, inventories and property, plant and
equipment, net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These amounts have
all been classified as current based on the intent to dispose of them within one
year. The net current assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1993
amounted to $174.8 million and consisted primarily of receivables, goodwill,
property, plant, equipment and inventories, net of accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.
(4) INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD
INVESTMENT IN VIGORO
In August 1993, Vigoro filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under which the Company publicly offered 3.0
million shares of Vigoro common stock. In addition, Vigoro agreed to repurchase
0.5 million shares of Vigoro common stock directly from the Company. In
September 1993, the offering was completed at a price of $24.625 per share, with
the Company realizing net proceeds (net of costs paid subsequent to the sales
date) of approximately $81.8 million. The Company currently owns approximately
5.8 million shares of Vigoro common stock, or approximately 29.5% of Vigoro's
outstanding common stock. The pretax gain realized on these sales was
approximately $48.9 million.
Effective on July 1, 1993, Vigoro adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109
and restated its prior period financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has
restated its investment in Vigoro based on Vigoro's restated financial
statements. The restatement resulted in a decrease, as of August 1, 1992, of the
Company's investment in Vigoro of $15.9 million. In addition, in connection with
the decision to sell a portion of its investment in Vigoro and the adoption of
SFAS 109, beginning January 1, 1993, the Company has fully provided for income
taxes on earnings accounted for by the equity method.
During 1994, Vigoro consummated two asset acquisitions for total
consideration of $138.4 million. Included in the consideration for these
acquisions was 0.6 million shares of Vigoro's common stock.

DECEMBER 31, 1994
Effective July 1, 1994, the functional currency of Vigoro's Canadian
subsidiary, Kalium Canada, changed from the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar.
The prospective change was made in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation".
Accordingly, all assets and liabilities are now translated into U.S. dollars at
period end exchange rates, while income and expense items are translated at
average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Exchange gains and
losses arising from translation are accumulated as a separate component of
common stockholders' equity. The effect on the Company resulting from the
change from the U.S. dollar as the functional currency resulted in a reduction
of the Company's common stockholders' equity of $4.2 million less applicable
taxes of $1.7 million.
The Company received cash dividends from Vigoro of $4.4 million, $5.7
million and $4.2 million in calendar 1994, 1993 and fiscal 1992, respectively,
and $2.7 million in the five months ended December 31, 1992.
Vigoro has a June 30 fiscal year end. A significant portion of Vigoro's
earnings historically occur in the months April through June. Due to the impact
of such seasonality, the interim results of operations are not generally
indicative of Vigoro's results of operations for an entire year. Summarized
financial information for Vigoro is as follows (in millions):

INVESTMENT IN COMMODORE
As of December 31, 1994, GAMI owned 56.25% of the outstanding common stock
of Commodore. In 1990, control of the operating decisions of Commodore was
transferred to the president of Commodore, subject to fulfilling certain
conditions; therefore, the Company reports this investment under the equity
method of accounting. The Company recognized income from its investment in
Commodore of $2.5 million, $1.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.6 million for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, the five months ended December 31, 1992,
and the fiscal year ended July 31, 1992, respectively. In March 1995, the
Company sold its entire interest in Commodore for

The Company believes that these loans, at their origination, purchase, or
extension, were at terms that were no less favorable to the Company than could
have been obtained with non-affiliated parties. Material related party
transactions are approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of
Directors. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107 -- Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS 107"), it is
not practical to estimate the fair value of the loans; however, the Company
believes that the fair value of each loan equals or exceeds the Company's
carrying value.
(a) Pursuant to amendments occurring in 1993 and 1994 to this loan, the
loan was collateralized by partnership units ("Units") which were
convertible in January 1995 into approximately 550,000 shares of Equity
Residential Properties Trust ("EQR"), a publicly traded entity
affiliated with Mr. Zell. On January 3, 1995, all rights and title in
the principal amount of $5.4 million plus an additional $1.6 million, as
participation based on the market value of the Units on September 16,
1994, and accrued interest were assigned to the Company's majority
stockholder as a part of a dividend to the Company's stockholders (see
Note 15).
(b) A subsidiary of GAMI has a 50% interest in Coal Canyon, a joint venture
owning 663 acres of property in Orange County, California. The loan is
secured by the land held by the joint venture. Interest on the loan is
deferred to maturity and, to date, no accrued interest has been recorded
in the Consolidated Financial Statements. GAMI has recorded the carrying
value of the loan at its original carrying basis of $2.1 million. In
October 1992, the terms of the Coal Canyon loan were extended for a
period of two years, to October 26, 1994. In October 1994, the loan was
further extended to December 31, 1995. During the extension periods,
the interest rate on the loan is at prime plus 2%.
(c) Interest payments on the Hedstrom #1 Note may be deferred through
January 15, 1996 at the option of GAI Partners Limited Partnership ("GAI
Partners"). All interest payments have been deferred as of March 15,
1995. Accrued interest of $13.8 million and $9.9 million at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, is included in the loan balance. The
original loan balance was $32.5 million. Principal payments are due as
follows: $6.5 million on July 15, 1995, $9.5 million on July 15, 1996,
$13.0 million on July 15, 1997 and $3.5 million on July 15, 1998. The
Hedstrom #1 Note is secured by 46,671 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
of GAFG owned by the GAI Partners (see Note 13). The borrower of the
Hedstrom #2 Note is an affiliate of GAI Partners. In February 1993, a
modification was entered into
31
<PAGE> 32
GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994
extending the maturity to August 6, 1997 and modifying the interest rate
to 10% for the first six months following such modification and
increasing 2% every six months thereafter with a ceiling of 20%. In
connection with this modification, a $1.0 million principal payment was
received. As of December 31, 1994, the Hedstrom #2 Note is in technical
default resulting from the borrower's failure to meet certain financial
covenants. Interest payments remain current. The Company and the
borrower are negotiating a resolution of the default.
(d) GAMI, or certain of its subsidiaries, has provided these unsecured
loans to three of the partnerships (the "Partnerships" or "Partnership")
for which subsidiaries of GAMI serve as the general partner. Repayment
of the Series XI and Series XII loans is generally subordinated to
distributions, generated from sales and/or refinancing of the
properties, to the respective limited partners of 100% of their
respective original capital contributions in such Partnership. Repayment
of the loan to IRE-4 is to be funded from a portion of sale and
refinancing proceeds of properties owned by such Partnership. The
maturity dates of the loans to IRE-4, Series XI and Series XII are on
demand subject to the subordination disclosed above. Ongoing analyses of
the operations and projected ultimate realization of the assets of
Series XI and Series XII indicated that these loans will not be fully
realized. In the first quarter of calendar 1993, the Company adjusted
its carrying value of the loans to Series XI and Series XII to the net
present value of the estimated cash flows expected to be realized,
recording loss reserves of $5.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
In January 1994, the Company commenced allocating interest payments
received to principal and interest. Both Series XI and Series XII
have the option to defer interest payments. Series XI's deferral
period expires January 1, 1997 and Series XII's deferral period
expires April 1, 1996. Through March 15, 1995, neither Series XI nor
Series XII had deferred their monthly interest payments pursuant to
their respective amendments.

SENIOR DEBT:
EAGLE
REFINANCING:
In January 1994, Eagle consummated a refinancing (the "Refinancing"),
the proceeds of which were utilized to repay and redeem of all of its
subsidiaries senior bank credit facilities, its 13% Senior Subordinated Notes
("13% Notes") and the 13.75% Notes ("13.75% Notes"). A portion of the proceeds
were derived from a new senior bank credit facility made available to Eagle
Industrial Products Corporation ("Eagle Industrial"), a newly formed, wholly
owned subsidiary of Eagle which owns all of the operating subsidiaries of
Eagle. As a result of the Refinancing, the Company recorded a pretax charge of
$26.0 million net of a tax benefit of $9.4 million. In November 1994, as a
result of the Offering, this bank credit facility was bifurcated into two
separate bank credit facilities, including a $165.0 million facility for Falcon
("Falcon Credit Facility") and an amended and restated $170.0 million facility
for Eagle Industrial ("Eagle Industrial Credit Facility").
EAGLE INDUSTRIAL CREDIT FACILITY:
The Eagle Industrial Credit Facility consists of a $92.0 million term loan
due in quarterly installments increasing from $2.5 million per quarter beginning
in December 1994 to $5.5 million per quarter beginning in December 1999 and
an $85.0 million revolving credit facility (subject to borrowing base
availability) that expires in 2000, which may be extended through 2001.
Borrowings bear interest at alternative floating rate structures, at
management's option (7.7% at December 31, 1994), and are secured by
substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and certain
receivables of Eagle Industrial and its subsidiaries. The facility requires an
annual commitment fee of 0.5% on the average daily unused amount of the
revolving portion of the facility. At December 31, 1994, the revolving credit
portion was unused and $89.5 million was outstanding under the term loan portion
of the facility. The facility provides for a letter of credit facility of up to
$50.0 million. Borrowing availability under the revolving credit portion of the
facility is reduced by the outstanding amount of letters of credit. At December
31, 1994, $11.1 million was available to borrow under this facility.
The Eagle Industrial Credit Facility contains various financial covenants,
the more restrictive requirements being: the maintenance of minimum levels of
net worth; limitations on incurring additional indebtedness; restrictions on the
payment of dividends or the making of loans to Eagle; maintenance of certain
ratios of cash flow to interest expense, and indebtedness; and maintenance of a
minimum level of cash flow to fixed charges. The facility also requires that the
Zell interests (as defined in the credit agreement) and affiliates directly or
indirectly maintain at least 20% of the voting power to elect members to the
Eagle board of directors and that no other person owns 30% or more of Eagle's
common stock if such ownership represents a greater percentage ownership
than the Zell interests.
FALCON CREDIT FACILITY:
The Falcon Credit Facility consists of a $115.0 million term loan due in
quarterly installments increasing from $2.5 million per quarter beginning
December 31, 1994 to $6.3 million per quarter in December 1998 and a $50.0
million revolving credit facility (subject to borrowing base availability) that
expires in 2000, which may be extended through 2001. Borrowings bear interest at
alternative floating rate structures and are secured by substantially all
property, plant, equipment and inventory of Falcon. At December 31, 1994, the
borrowings under the facility bore interest at 7.3%. The facility requires an
annual commitment fee of 0.375% on the average daily unused amount of the
revolving credit facility. At December 31, 1994, the revolving credit portion
was unused and $112.5 million was outstanding under the term loan portion of the
facility. The facility also contains a $25.0 million letter of credit facility.
Borrowing availability under the revolving credit portion of the facility is
reduced by outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 1994, $21.5 million
was available to borrow under the revolving credit portion of this facility.
The Falcon Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, the more
restrictive requirements being: the maintainance of minimum levels of net worth;
limitations on incurring additional indebtedness; restriction on the

payment of dividends; maintenance of certain ratios of cash flow to interest
expense, indebtedness and fixed charges. The facility also requires that: the
Zell interests (as defined in the credit agreement) and affiliates directly or
indirectly maintain at least 20% of the voting power to elect members to the
Falcon board of directors and that no other person owns 30% or more of the
Falcon common stock if such ownership represents a greater percentage ownership
than the Zell interests.
SENIOR BANK CREDIT FACILITIES:
Eagle had four senior credit facilities which were available to four
subsidiary groups of Eagle prior to the Refinancing (the "Senior Bank Credit
Facilities"). A portion of the proceeds of the Refinancing were utilized to
fully repay the Senior Bank Credit Facilities in January 1994. The aggregate
amount available under the revolving portion of the Senior Bank Credit
Facilities (subject to borrowing base availability) amounted to $350.0 million
at December 31, 1993. Additionally, the Senior Bank Credit Facilities at
December 31, 1993 included $69.6 million in outstanding term loans. Borrowings
under the Senior Bank Credit Facilities bore interest at alternative floating
rate structures, at managements option (5.6% at December 31, 1993), and were
secured by substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and
receivables of Eagle's subsidiaries.
GAMI
In September 1994, GAMI's senior credit facility with Chemical Bank matured
and was repaid in full. In October 1994, GAMI's senior credit facility with
Bank of America Illinois (formerly Continental Bank) matured and was repaid in
full. Concurrent with the repayment, GAMI entered into a new credit agreement
(the "GAMI Credit Facility") with Bank of America Illinois. The GAMI Credit
Facility is a $25.0 million credit facility which matures on September 30, 1996.
Mandatory commitment reductions of $2.5 million each will occur on August 15,
1995, February 15, 1996, May 15, 1996 and August 15, 1996. Amounts outstanding
bear interest at alternative floating rate structures, at managements option
(8.125% at December 31, 1994). The GAMI Credit Facility is secured by a pledge
of 1.6 million shares of Vigoro common stock. $10.1 million was outstanding as
of December 31, 1994.
The GAMI Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants including, but not
limited to, net worth maintenance, minimum liquidity requirements and
restrictions on the transfer of its holdings of Vigoro and Eagle common stock.
SUBORDINATED DEBT:
EAGLE
SENIOR DEFERRED COUPON NOTES:
Eagles $315.0 million original principal amount of Senior Deferred
Coupon Notes (the "Notes") issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"),
dated July 1, 1993, mature on July 15, 2003. The issue price of each Note was
$598.97 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents a yield to
July 15, 1998 of 10.5% per annum. Cash interest will not accrue on the Notes
prior to July 15, 1998. Cash interest will be payable on January 15 and July 15
of each year at a rate of 10.5% per annum commencing January 15, 1999 until
maturity. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of Eagle and rank PARI
PASU in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of Eagle. The Notes are
redeemable at Eagle's option on or after July 15, 1998 at par value, plus
accrued interest. In addition, prior to July 15, 1996, up to 35% of the Notes
may be redeemed out of the proceeds of certain equity offerings at 110% of
accreted amount to July 15, 1994 and decreasing by 1% per annum each July 14
thereafter, until July 14, 1996. The Notes have a change of control provision,
which under certain conditions, may require Eagle to repurchase such holder's
Notes at 101% of the accreted amount plus accrued interest, if any.
The Notes contain restrictive covenants, the more significant requirements
being: a limitation on dividend payments and distributions on capital stock;
restrictions on distributions from subsidiaries; limitations on sales of assets
and subsidiary stock; and limitations on the creation of additional
indebtedness.
During 1994, the Company retired $55.9 million face value ($37.8 million
accreted value) of the Notes. In conjunction with this retirement, the Company
recorded an extraordinary pretax gain of $0.5 million.

13% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES:
Eagle's $300.0 million 13% Notes issued pursuant to an indenture dated
October 1, 1988 were due in October 1998. In July 1993, Eagle, concurrent with
the offering of the Notes, consummated a tender offer of $151.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes at a price of $1,049 per $1,000
principal amount. In February 1994, Eagle redeemed the remaining $149.0 million
of 13% Notes at 104% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. Proceeds
for the redemption were derived from the Refinancing.
13.75% NOTES:
The $75.0 million 13.75% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated
March 15, 1988. In January 1994, all of the 13.75% Notes were called for
redemption on March 15, 1994 at 105.5% of their principal amount plus accrued
interest. Proceeds for the redemption were derived from the Refinancing.
(7) EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION:
Substantially all employees are covered by Company or union sponsored
defined benefit pension plans. Plans covering salaried and management employees
provide pension benefits that are based on the employee's years of service with
the Company and average compensation during the five years before retirement.
For other employees, pension benefits are provided based on a stated amount for
each year of service. The Company's funding policy for all plans is to make no
less than the minimum annual contributions required by applicable governmental
regulations. Plan assets generally consist of common stocks and fixed income
instruments.
The following table sets forth the funded status for all U.S. defined
benefit pension plans and related amounts recognized in the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements:

In accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions", the
Company has recorded an additional minimum pension liability for underfunded
plans of $12.6 million and $7.4 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, representing the excess of unfunded accumulated benefit
obligations over previously recorded pension cost liabilities. A corresponding
amount is recognized as an intangible asset except to the extent that these
additional liabilities exceed related unrecognized prior service costs and net
transition obligations, in

which case the increase in liabilities is charged directly to stockholders'
equity. At December 1994 and 1993, the excess minimum pension liability resulted
in a net reduction of equity of $6.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

</TABLE>
As discussed in Note 16, in May 1994, the Company assumed sponsorship of
the Pension Obligations. Accordingly, data related to the Pension Obligations is
included as of December 31, 1994 in the table disclosing the funded status of
defined benefit pension plans and year ended December 31, 1994 in the table
disclosing periodic pension cost.
The following assumptions were used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligation for the Company's U.S. defined benefit
plans for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993: weighted-average discount
rate of 7.5%; rate of increase in future compensation levels of 4.0%; and
expected long-term rate of return on assets of 9.0%.
The Company and its subsidiaries also have several defined contribution
plans for certain U.S. employees. The Company contributions to these plans were
$4.7 million and $4.0 million in the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, $0.8 million in the five months ended December 31, 1992, and $3.5
million in fiscal 1992. Contributions to these plans by the Company are
determined under a variety of methods including those based on years employed or
a percentage of the contribution made by the employee.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:
The Company provides certain postretirement life and health-care benefits
to certain of its employees. For most business units providing these benefits,
employees retiring from the Company on or after attaining age 55 who have
rendered at least 15 years of active service to the Company are entitled to
postretirement benefits coverage. Most of these plans are non-contributory,
while there are a few in which employees and retirees contribute towards their
coverage. The Company has not funded any of this postretirement benefits
liability. Contributions to the postretirement plans are made by the Company as
claims are incurred.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1992 by adjusting its postretirement benefits liability recognized as of
August 1, 1991 to the discounted present value of expected future benefits
attributed to employees' service rendered prior to August 1, 1991. The
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using an assumed
discount rate of 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, and a
health care cost trend rate of 12% for the year ended December 31, 1993 and
10.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994, with the assumption that the health
care cost trend rate would decrease ratably to 6.0% by the year 1997. The effect
of a one percent increase in the health care cost trend rate assumption would be
to increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, the annual
service cost and interest expense components by approximately $4.3 million, $0.1
million and $0.3 million, respectively. In adopting the provisions of SFAS No.
106, the Company evaluated the assumptions used previously in estimating its
postretirement benefits obligation under the unfunded accrual method. Based on
its experience and the results of this evaluation, the Company revised certain
of these previous assumptions when adopting SFAS No. 106. Trend rates used in
adopting SFAS No. 106 reflect the Company's prior experience and expectation
that future rates will trend downward. In conjunction with
36

GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994
the adoption of SFAS No. 106, the Company recorded a reduction of its
postretirement benefit obligation of $24.2 million and recognized a
corresponding $24.2 million pretax benefit as a "Cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle", with a related tax provision of $7.3 million.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company curtailed certain of its
postretirement benefits for its non-bargaining employees. In general, the
curtailment affects employees who retire after December 1994 with exception for
employees who meet certain age plus years of service requirements. The
curtailment resulted in a reduction of the postretirement benefit liability of
$4.2 million. The effect of the curtailment was offset by a charge in the fourth
quarter of 1993 of $4.2 million related to the Company's self-insurance costs.
The following table sets forth postretirement benefits recognized in the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:

(8) INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 effective January 1,
1993. The December 31, 1993 Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a decrease
in the net deferred tax assets of $8.6 million and a corresponding charge of
$8.6 million, reflected as a "Cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle". As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 109, various "gross up"
adjustments were made to the balance sheet in order to adjust amounts which were
originally recorded on a net of tax basis as part of purchase accounting. These
adjustments resulted in increases to net property, plant and equipment, accrued
liabilities, accrued employee benefit obligations and other long-term
liabilities of approximately $21.4 million, $1.9 million, $19.3 million and
$12.2 million, respectively. These increases were offset by a corresponding
increase to deferred taxes of approximately $12.0 million.

During 1993, a valuation allowance was established against the deferred tax
assets due to uncertainties associated with the ultimate resolution of the
Madison bankruptcy case (see Note 16). In assessing the need for a valuation
allowance, estimates were made as to the potential financial impact on the
Company should the adverse judgments be rendered. In determining the appropriate
valuation allowance, management used the upper limit of the probable financial
range estimated for this matter. In addition, the Company believed that possible
limitations existed related to the Company's ability to implement certain tax
planning strategies. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company eliminated its
valuation allowance when it substantially reduced its exposure in the Madison
bankruptcy by purchasing the Pipe Claims.
As discussed in Note 1, subsequent to the Offering, a separate U.S. federal
income tax return will be filed for Falcon. Primarily all of the Company's
deferred tax assets relate to its non-Falcon businesses. Management believes
that future taxable income and tax planning strategies are available,
principally related to the sale of certain assets, if necessary, to fully
realize the recorded net deferred tax assets and accordingly, no valuation
allowance has been recorded at December 31, 1994.

(9) RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In 1993, the Company adopted a formal plan to sell Lapp and recorded an
$18.8 million pretax charge for the estimated disposal costs and operating
losses through the disposition date. During the second quarter of 1994, the
Company recorded a $6.8 million pretax charge, net of income tax benefits of
$1.5 million, for additional expected operating losses. In the fourth quarter of
1994, the Company concluded that Lapp's value would be maximized by retaining
Lapp and restructuring its operations. Accordingly, estimated costs of $7.8
million were reversed and a pretax restructuring charge of $24.6 million was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994. The restructuring charges included costs
related to Lapp's exit from its polymer product line and the restructuring of
its porcelain operations. Lapp's results of operations were reclassified to
continuing operations for all periods presented. Total assets and total
liabilities excluding intercompany payables were $55.5 million and $16.8 million
at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net sales were $79.8 million and
$84.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Operating losses before restructuring charges were $4.2 million and $4.8
million for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Restructuring charges totaling $2.6 million were recorded in the third and
fourth quarter of 1993. In conjunction with the relocation of one of IEP's
manufacturing facilities in the first quarter of 1993, costs were incurred which
exceeded previously established reserves. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2.0
million in charges in the fourth quarter of 1993. Elastimold recorded charges of
$0.6 million related to an early retirement program.
Other charges consisted primarily of expenses related to the Company's
reserves pertaining to the Madison Management Group, Inc. bankruptcy (See Note
16).
The cash and non-cash components of these charges are as follows (in
millions):

(11) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments. Long-term investments are
stated at the lower of cost or market.
LONG-TERM NOTES RECEIVABLE
Long-term notes receivable are stated at the lower of cost or market.
SUBORDINATED DEBT
The fair value of the Company's 13% Notes and the 13.75% Notes at December
31, 1993 was based on the call price at January 31, 1994. The fair value of the
Company's Notes was based on quoted market prices at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
SENIOR DEBT
The carrying amount approximates fair value as the rates are tied to the
prime interbank and LIBOR rates which fluctuate based on current market
conditions.

DECEMBER 31, 1994
OTHER DEBT
The carrying amount approximates fair value as rates approximate borrowing
rates currently available to the Company for similar loans.
REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
The fair value of the Company's redeemable preferred stock was based on the
redemption price plus accrued dividends.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as
follows:

(15) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Equity Holdings Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership
("EHL"), an entity affiliated with Mr. Zell, Chairman of the Board, along with
certain other officers and directors of the Company, owned approximately 72.3%
of the Company's outstanding common stock at December 31, 1994, as a result of
purchases and sales made from 1980 through 1994.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase agreement (the "Agreement") between Hellman &
Friedman Capital Partners (a California limited partnership), Hellman & Friedman
Capital Partners International (BVI) (together, the "Hellman & Friedman Group"),
EHL, and the Company, the parties will use their best efforts in electing two
directors from the Hellman & Friedman Group for every twelve. The Agreement also
requires consent of the Hellman & Friedman Group for certain types of
significant transactions of the Company.
On January 3, 1995, the Company assigned all of its right, title and
interest in the Equity Pool No. 1 loan receivable to EHL as part of a dividend
to the Company's stockholders.
Individuals and companies affiliated with Mr. Zell perform or provide
services to the Company and its subsidiaries relating to acquisition and
divestiture consulting, the Offering, corporate planning, legal and tax advice,
property management, as well as providing certain computer equipment, operations
and maintenance services, and lease office space to the Company and certain of
its subsidiaries. Related party agreements or fee arrangements are approved by
independent members of the Board of Directors and are generally for a term of
one year. Fees paid relating to the above described services were $3.7 million,
$3.5 million, $2.1 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993, the five months ended December 31, 1992 and the year ended July
31, 1992, respectively.
Also see Notes 5, 13 and 14 for other information regarding related party
transactions.
(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company conducts manufacturing operations at various leased facilities
and also leases warehouses, office space, computers and office equipment. Most
of the realty leases contain renewal options and escalation clauses. Total rent
expense, including related real estate taxes, amounted to $11.2 million in the
year ended December 31, 1994, $10.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1993,
$4.5 in the five months ended December 31, 1992 and $8.4 million in fiscal 1992.
LITIGATION -- MADISON MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC.:
In November 1991, Madison Management Group, Inc. ("Madison"), a
non-consolidated affiliate, the stock of which is owned by GAFG, filed a
petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Illinois (the "Bankruptcy Court") under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code").
43
<PAGE> 44
GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994
In July 1992, the Chapter 11 case of Madison was converted to a case under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. A Chapter 7 trustee (the "Trustee") was
appointed for Madison. Total proofs of claims filed by creditors through the bar
date with the Bankruptcy Court amounted to approximately $943.0 million. After
the elimination of what the Company believed to be duplicate filings of proofs
of claims, the total of outstanding claims amounted to approximately $485.0
million. The automatic stay of the Bankruptcy Code prohibited the creditors of
Madison from pursuing their claims outside of Madison bankruptcy case. The
Company disputed all except approximately $7.0 million of such claims.
The Company believed that approximately $454.0 million of these claims (the
"Pipe Claims") were successor liability claims, all of which are unadjudicated,
for breach of contract, tort and breach of warranty asserted by former customers
of a division whose business was sold in 1981 by a predecessor company to
Madison. The Company and its counsel believed that there were meritorious
defenses both as to substance and procedure and as to the amount of damages
claimed by the holders of the Pipe Claims.
In addition to the Pipe Claims, various of the claims that had been filed
against Madison in the bankruptcy proceeding (and included in the $485.0 million
estimate above) allege environmental (including Super Fund) liabilities and
certain obligations for health and welfare ("Health and Welfare Claims"), as
well as pension benefits (the "Pension Obligations") to former employees of
predecessor companies.
On December 31, 1992, a complaint (the "Complaint") was filed by the
Trustee with the Bankruptcy Court. The Complaint, which was filed against the
Company, GAFG and certain present and former officers and directors of the
Company and Madison, seeks monetary and equitable relief from the named
defendants. The Trustee alleged in the Complaint that: (i) in connection with
the initial acquisition by a subsidiary of the Company of the predecessor
business (the "Predecessor Business") of Madison, the issuance of approximately
$113.0 million in notes by the Predecessor Business to the Company was a
fraudulent conveyance; (ii) two dividends totaling approximately $8.3 million
made by the Predecessor Business and Madison were fraudulent conveyances and
improper dividends under state law; (iii) the sale by Madison to GAFG of 67.5%
of Eagle's outstanding common stock owned by Madison for cash consideration of
$28.7 million was a fraudulent conveyance; (iv) the approval of such sale of
Eagle stock by Madison to GAFG by former directors of Madison constituted a
breach of their fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty to Madison; (v) the payment
by Madison to GAFG of $45.2 million to cause GAFG to assume $40.5 million of
subordinated notes of Madison was a fraudulent conveyance; and (vi) Madison was
a mere instrumentality and alter ego of the Company.
In May 1994, pursuant to an agreement with the Trustee and the Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corporation, the Company assumed sponsorship of the Pension
Obligations. In August 1994, the Company purchased all but three of the Pipe
Claims for $24.7 million. Subsequently, one of the three remaining Pipe Claims
claimants withdrew their claim in Bankruptcy Court. The remaining two Pipe
Claims claimants (the "Unsettled Pipe Claimants") are codefendants in litigation
related to legal actions brought by other Pipe Claims claimants.
In February 1995, the Company entered into an Agreement (the " Settlement
Agreement") with the Trustee. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Settlement Agreement will involve a release by the Trustee in favor of
the Company and other named defendants of all claims asserted in the Complaint.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company will: (a) make payments
to the Trustee totaling $7.2 million and (b) make an additional payment to the
Trustee on account of the Health and Welfare Claims may be required pursuant to
a formula in the Settlement Agreement tied to the number and amount of Health
and Welfare Claims. The Company believes that it will incur no additional
obligations related to Health and Welfare Claims. In addition to the $7.2
million payment to the Trustee, the consummation of the Settlement Agreement is
contingent upon, among other things, (i) Bankruptcy Court approval, (ii) the
entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court disallowing the claims of the
Unsettled Pipe Claimants, (iii) the resolution of the Other Claims (as described
below), and (iv) the order of the Bankruptcy Court becoming final and
nonappealable.
The claims of two claimants (the "Other Claims") filed against Madison are
subject to resolution outside of the auspices of the Trustee. As described
above, the consummation of the Settlement Agreement is contingent upon, among
other things, the resolution of the Other Claims. The Company has reached
tentative settlements with
44
<PAGE> 45
GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1994
the claimants representing the Other Claims. The total payments expected to be
made by the Company under these two settlements is $1.0 million.
The Company believes that it has recorded adequate reserves (substantially
all provided for in previous years) in its financial statements. The Company
believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
LITIGATION -- OTHER:
The Company and its subsidiaries have, from time to time, become a party to
claims, lawsuits and environmental matters in the ordinary course of business.
It is the opinion of the Companys management, based upon the advice of counsel,
that the claims, lawsuits and environmental matters are without merit, covered
by insurance, or are adequately reserved for in the Consolidated Financial
Statements, and that the ultimate disposition of pending litigation will not be
material in relation to the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
(17) SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

THE VIGORO CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FACTORS AFFECTING THE BUSINESS
The Vigoro Corporation ("TVC") and its subsidiaries' (collectively, the
"Company") results of operations have historically been influenced by a number
of factors beyond the Company's control, which have at times had a significant
effect on the Company's operating results. U.S. fertilizer demand is affected
by a variety of factors, including planted acreage, U. S. and foreign
government agricultural policies (including subsidy and acreage set-aside
programs), projected grain stocks and weather. The Company's export sales,
which consist of sales outside North America, are made primarily through
Canpotex Limited ("Canpotex"), an independently operated not-for-profit
marketing and export association in which all six Saskatchewan potash producers
are equal owners, and are influenced by world potash supply and demand
conditions and foreign government policies. The Company has a nominal share
investment in Canpotex. Canpotex sales, net of Canpotex operating costs, are
allocated to the six members of Canpotex based on their respective shares of
Saskatchewan's potash production capacity. The Company currently receives a
10.2% allocation of total Canpotex sales. Sales to Canpotex represented
approximately 19% of the Company's 1994 potash sales.
Demand for fertilizer is seasonal in nature. A significant portion of the
Company's net sales and operating income is generated in the Company's fourth
quarter (April through June). Changes in the level of certain working capital
accounts throughout the year, including inventory, accounts receivable and
accounts payable and the related impact of these changes on operating cash
flow, reflect the impact of seasonality on the Company's business. The Company
builds its inventory of nitrogen-based products during the year in preparation
for the fourth-quarter selling season. Sales of nitrogen-based and related
products primarily occur in the fourth fiscal quarter, and the Company collects
the majority of its cash from such sales during the fourth and first fiscal
quarters. Since potash sales occur more evenly throughout the fiscal year,
cash flow from potash sales mitigates somewhat the seasonal fluctuations in
cash flow from nitrogen-based and related products. In addition, weather
conditions during the comparison periods can affect the timing and extent of
fertilizer activity and, therefore, sales volumes and the related cash flows
derived from such sales. See Note 18 "Quarterly Financial Data" for the impact
of seasonality on the Company's operating results.
In the following discussion, the Company has compared the results of operations
and cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 ("1994") with the year
ended June 30, 1993 ("1993") and 1993 with the year ended June 30, 1992
("1992").
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company has elected to
restate prior years financial statements by retroactively applying the
provisions of SFAS No. 109 to August 1, 1990. The information contained in
this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations has been restated to reflect this retroactive application. See " -
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition - Accounting for Income
Taxes."
THE ACQUISITION
On April 4, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
businesses of three related corporations (collectively, "Mid-Ohio"), in
exchange for 601,980 shares of TVC's common stock with an aggregate market
value of approximately $19.0 million, 500,000 shares of which were issued from
treasury, and 2,820 shares of TVC's 7% cumulative voting Series E preferred
stock with a liquidation value of $10,000 per share or $28.2 million in the
aggregate (the "Acquisition"). In addition, the Company assumed selected
liabilities of Mid-Ohio which totaled approximately $.... million at the date
of acquisition. The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business
combination intended to qualify as a tax free "C" reorganization. The
Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of Mid-Ohio's
operations from the date of acquisition through June 30, 1994.
Mid-Ohio was an independent manufacturer and distributor of fertilizers,
pesticides, herbicides, seed and application services. Mid-Ohio sold its
products on a wholesale basis to fertilizer dealers and cooperatives, primarily
throughout Ohio and six contiguous states and on a retail basis to farmers
through Mid-Ohio's 39 retail outlets located in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Mid-Ohio's retail outlets provided a range of agronomic products and services
to their farmer customers which were very similar to the Company's services,
including soil testing, custom fertilizer blending, fertilizer application and
computer-generated recommendations concerning fertility and crop protection.
COMPANY REFINANCING
-2-
<PAGE> 63
In August, 1993, the Company refinanced a substantial portion of its existing
short-term and long-term debt which provided it with additional financial
flexibility and allowed the Company to take advantage of favorable interest
rates in the long-term debt market. A group of commercial banks and an
institutional lender refinanced the Company's short-term and long-term debt,
respectively. The new credit facility and the use of the initial borrowings
thereunder are referred to herein as the "Company Refinancing." The Company
Refinancing replaced financing previously available to TVC's subsidiaries and
provided additional liquidity for working capital and general corporate
purposes. See "- Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition -
Refinancing."

1994 VERSUS 1993
Net sales for 1994 ($727.4 million) increased $149.2 million, or 25.8% from
1993. The change in net sales consisted of an increase of $140.1 million, or
31.1%, in nitrogen-based and related product sales, an increase of $4.7
million, or 4.2%, in potash sales and an increase of $3.3 million, or 29.0% in
other revenue. The increase in nitrogen-based and related product sales was
primarily the result of a 23.5% increase in nitrogen-based sales volumes in
1994 combined with a 6.1% increase in nitrogen-based average sales prices. The
increase in nitrogen-based sales volumes primarily reflected the impact of the
Acquisition, favorable spring weather conditions, an increase in the number of
acres planted and an increase in fertilizer application rates which resulted in
increased retail and wholesale nitrogen-based and related product sales. The
increase in nitrogen-based and related product sales volumes in 1994 also
reflected the impact of poor weather conditions in the 1993 period which
negatively impacted nitrogen-based retail sales volumes in the comparison
period. The $4.7 million increase in potash net sales primarily reflected a
7.9% increase in potash sales volumes which was partially offset by a 3.4%
decrease in potash average sales prices. The increase in potash sales volumes
reflected an increase in domestic potash sales volumes as a result of factors
discussed above which was partially offset by a decrease in potash export sales
volumes.
During 1994, a subsidiary of the Company sold the assets of 18 FARMARKETs(R)
and 3 satellite locations. The consideration for the sale aggregated
approximately $15.0 million resulting in a one-time pre-tax gain of
approximately $7.6 million which has been reported as non-recurring income in
the consolidated statements of income. In contemplation of the sale of the 18
FARMARKETs, the Company initiated a review of the Company's remaining
nitrogen-based business operations, including certain blending plants that
supply product to the Company's FARMARKET system. Factors considered in this
review included, among other things, historical and projected cash flows as
well as capacity utilization. Based on this review as well as the anticipated
impact from the sale of the 18 FARMARKETs, the Company determined that certain
of these assets had been impaired. In addition, during 1994, the Company
purchased first mortgages and subsequently foreclosed on farmland in Florida
for which the Company was a second mortgage holder. Upon completion of the
foreclosure, the Company evaluated several alternatives to realize its
investment in the properties. The evaluation of the properties, included among
other things, reviewing appraised values and recent selling prices of similar
properties in the area. As a result of this review, the Company determined
that the carrying value of the properties exceeded their market value and their
carrying values were written down accordingly. As a result of the above, the
Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $5.6 million, which has been
netted against non-recurring income in the consolidated statements of income,
to reflect the estimated net realizable values of the assets. The $5.6 million
charge to income primarily consisted of a $4.6 million write-down of various
properties, plants and equipment, and various other long-term assets and $0.6
million in related reserves.
Total operating expenses in 1994 ($645.2 million) increased $139.1 million, or
27.5% from 1993. The increase was primarily the result of a $126.5 million
increase in cost of sales primarily reflecting the increased costs associated
with the the higher nitrogen-based sales volumes as a result of the Acquisition
as well as increased gas costs for the Company's manufacturing operations. The
increase in operating expenses also reflected an $11.6 million increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $3.6 million increase in
depreciation, depletion and amortization. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased primarily due to an increase in nitrogen-based volume
related expenses, higher legal expenses related to the Company's potash
antitrust litigation and higher corporate capital taxes imposed on the
Company's potash operations. Depreciation, depletion and amortization
increased primarily as a result of higher property, plant and equipment levels
due to the Acquisition.
Operating income in 1994 ($82.2 million) increased $10.1 million, or 14.0% from
1993. Net sales less cost of goods sold divided by net sales ("gross margin")
in 1994 decreased to 30.1% from 33.1% in 1993. The decrease primarily
reflected an increase in the proportion of lower gross margin nitrogen-based
sales versus higher margin potash sales. Operating income divided by net sales
("operating margin") in 1994 decreased to 11.3% from 12.5% primarily primarily
reflected this change in sales mix.
Interest expense, net in 1994 ($9.8 million) decreased $0.7 million or 6.9%
reflecting the impact of lower average interest rates which were partially
offset by higher average outstanding debt balances in 1994 compared to 1993.
The Company's average annualized interest rates were 6.2% in 1994 compared to
7.1% in 1993. The Company's average total outstanding debt balances were
approximately $164.3 million in 1994 compared to approximately $154.0 million
for 1993. The increase in average borrowings primarily reflected higher
working capital levels as a result of the Acquisition as well as the use of
borrowings to fund portions of the Company's treasury stock purchases. See -
"Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition -- Company Stock
Repurchases".
Other (income) expense, net for 1994 ($4.5 million of income) increased $1.3
million over 1993. The increase primarily reflected the impact of higher
foreign exchange gains in 1994 resulting from a greater weakening of the
Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar as well as insurance proceeds received
by the Company related to a small fire at one of the Company's plants.
-4-
<PAGE> 65
Preferred stock dividends for 1994 ($0.5 million) reflect the impact of the
Company's newly issued preferred stock issued in conjunction with the
Acquisition.
1993 VERSUS 1992
Net sales for 1993 ($578.2 million) decreased $15.8 million, or 2.7% from 1992.
The change in sales consisted of a decrease of $12.5 million, or 2.7%, in
nitrogen-based and related product sales, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 3.0%,
in potash sales and an increase of $0.2 million in other revenue. The decrease
in nitrogen-based and related product sales was primarily the result of a 2.5%
decrease in nitrogen-based average sales prices in 1993 on volumes comparable
to 1992. Although the Company expected to have lower fourth quarter sales in
1993 as compared to fiscal 1992 because of cold, wet weather in the Midwestern
United States in April, sales during the fourth quarter exceeded the Company's
expectations as the Company achieved record sales for the combined months of
May and June. The lower nitrogen-based average sales prices reflected the
impact of an increase in the proportion of wholesale business sales volumes
which typically have lower average sales prices as well as a decrease in
average sales prices for blended products which contain phosphates. The
decrease in nitrogen-based average sales prices also reflected a decrease in
sales of premium-priced consumer and specialty products as compared to other
nitrogen-based products. The $3.5 million decrease in potash sales primarily
reflected a 9.8% decrease in potash export sales volumes to offshore customers
through Canpotex. Potash export sales volumes decreased primarily due to a
decrease in Canpotex sales to China early in 1993, and offshore competition
from the Former Soviet Union. Planted acres of corn and soybeans decreased
7.1% and increased less than 0.1%, respectively, compared to 1992.
Total operating expenses in 1993 ($506.1 million) decreased $13.4 million, or
2.6% from 1992. The decrease was the result of a $19.2 million decrease in
cost of sales primarily reflecting the change in sales mix and related cost mix
discussed above and improved potash operating efficiencies. The decrease in
cost of sales was offset by: (i) a $4.4 million increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses, (ii) an $0.8 million increase in depreciation,
depletion and amortization; and (iii) a $0.6 million increase in provincial
resource taxes. The 5.1% increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses primarily reflected the impact of one-time freight rebates in 1992,
increased legal costs in 1993 and a general increase in personnel and related
costs due to the addition of six FARMARKETs during 1993.
Operating income in 1993 ($72.1 million) decreased $2.4 million, or 3.2%, from
1992. Gross margin in 1993 increased to 33.9% from 32.5% in 1992 principally
due to improved potash operating efficiencies and the change in sales mix. The
improved gross margin was more than offset by higher other operating expenses
detailed above. As a result, the Company's operating margin decreased to 12.4%
in 1993 from 12.5% in 1992.
Interest expense in 1993 ($10.5 million) decreased $3.3 million, or 23.8%, from
1992 reflecting the impact of lower average interest rates and lower
outstanding average debt levels in 1993 compared to 1992. The Company's
average annualized interest rates were 7.1% in 1993 compared to 8.5% in 1992.
With the exception of the Company's 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes ("12.75%
Notes"), all of the Company's consolidated debt bears interest at variable
rates. The Company's average total outstanding debt balances were
approximately $154.0 million for 1993 compared to approximately $176.8 million
for 1992. The decrease in average borrowings was primarily the result of lower
average short-term borrowings used to finance working capital.
Other (income) expense, net for 1993 ($3.2 million of income) decreased $0.7
million versus 1992. The decrease primarily reflected a slight decrease in
foreign exchange gains. Foreign exchange gains included in other (income)
expense, net resulting from a weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S.
dollar during each of these periods were $2.2 million for 1993 compared to $3.0
million in 1992.
Included in net income for 1993 was a $2.0 million extraordinary charge, net of
tax, related to the early redemption of indebtedness. The $2.0 million
extraordinary charge included a $0.6 million extraordinary charge recorded on
the early retirement of $18.0 million of the Company's 12.75% Notes which
occurred in 1993 as well as a $1.4 million extraordinary charge recorded in
anticipation of the Company Refinancing. See "Liquidity, Capital Resources and
Financial Condition - Refinancing".
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
COMPANY REFINANCING
On August 31, 1993, the Company refinanced a substantial portion of its
existing short-term and long-term debt to provide the Company with additional
financial flexibility and to take advantage of favorable interest rates in the
long-term debt market. A group of commercial banks and an institutional lender
refinanced short-term and long-term debt.
-5-
<PAGE> 66
As part of the Company Refinancing, the Company entered into a new, unsecured
$200.0 million credit agreement maturing on October 31, 1996, $110.0 million of
which is available for use by TVC to finance seasonal working capital
requirements and $60.0 million of which is available to TVC for use for general
corporate purposes, including, but not limited to funding, the Company Stock
Repurchase. The remaining $30.0 million under this credit agreement is
available for use by the Company's principal Canadian subsidiary, Kalium
Canada, Ltd. ("Kalium Canada"), to provide financing for general corporate
purposes. The $200.0 million credit agreement replaced secured and unsecured
credit facilities previously available to TVC's subsidiaries. Availability
under the $200.0 million credit facility is reduced by any amounts drawn under
the facility and certain outstanding letters of credit. At the Company's
option and depending on certain financial ratios, this facility bears interest
at either the paying agent's base rate, the paying agent's certificate of
deposit rate plus 0.75% to 1.0% or the Eurodollar interest rate plus 0.625% to
0.875%. At closing the Company paid a one-time upfront fee in an amount equal
to 0.15% of the facility and an annual facility fee in an amount equal to 0.18%
of the facility. In addition, the Company paid certain fees to the facility
co-agents. The facility contains financial and other restrictive covenants,
including limitations on the ability of TVC to pay dividends on or redeem
common stock beyond certain specified amounts and make acquisitions.
As part of the Company Refinancing, the Company also entered into a new,
unsecured $17.0 million term loan and Kalium Canada entered into a new,
unsecured $55.0 million term loan. These term loans were used to refinance
secured and unsecured indebtedness of the Company at currently favorable
interest rates. In addition, the Company and Kalium Canada have entered into a
private shelf facility for $68.0 million, of which $18.0 million was drawn by
Kalium Canada on September 23, 1993. Proceeds from the $18.0 million of shelf
borrowings were used to fund the redemption by Vigoro Industries of its 12.75%
Senior Subordinated Notes ("12.75% Notes"). The $18.0 million of shelf
borrowings has the same terms with respect to maturities and interest rates as
Kalium Canada's unsecured term loan. The lender under the shelf facility is
not obligated to make additional loans to the Company or Kalium Canada and the
Company and Kalium Canada are not obligated to borrow additional money under
this facility. The new unsecured term loans to Kalium Canada and TVC bear
interest at 6.6% and 6.7%, respectively, and will mature at various times from
2002 to 2005.
The revolving credit facility and term loans contain several financial and
other restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of TVC to pay
dividends on or redeem common stock beyond certain specified amounts and make
acquisitions. In addition, these facilities and term loans are subject to
customary events of default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults,
defaults under certain other agreements and changes of control.
In addition to the $200.0 million credit facility discussed above, the Company
has approximately $70.0 million of uncommitted demand money market lines
offered by a number of banks. By resolution of the Company's Board of
Directors, the Company may make borrowings under these lines so long as any
amounts borrowed under these lines, plus any credit extended under the
Company's $200.0 million credit facility, do not in the aggregate exceed $225.0
million. Advances under these line are made at the sole discretion of the
lenders and bear interest at rates determined on a daily basis at the
discretion of the lenders. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had approximately
$14.5 million outstanding under such money market lines.
In connection with the Company Refinancing, the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per common share, in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1993 reflecting the write-off of deferred financing fees as
well as an early redemption premium on certain indebtedness refinanced with
borrowings under the new credit agreement, the shelf agreement and the new term
loans.
COMPANY STOCK REPURCHASES
In September, 1993, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission whereby its principle shareholder, Great
American Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI"), publicly offered 3.0 million
of the common shares it owned of the Company (the "Offering"). In conjunction
with this Offering, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of common stock
directly from GAMI (the "Company Stock Repurchase")with an aggregate cost of
$12.3 million. The Company Stock Repurchase occurred concurrent to the
Offering.
In addition to the Company Stock Repurchase, during May 1994, the Company
repurchased 385,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions at
prices that ranged from $26.00 per common share to $28.50 per common share or
$10.5 million in the aggregate. The Company financed the Company Stock
Repurchase and the open market purchases with available cash and borrowings
made under the new credit facility.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 109.
SFAS No. 109 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992.
The objective of the SFAS No. 109 method of accounting for income taxes is to
establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between
the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities
-6-
<PAGE> 67
at currently enacted tax rates. The adoption of the new accounting standard
had the following effects: (i) certain assets and liabilities previously
recorded net of tax in connection with purchase accounting were being recorded
on a gross basis, resulting in a decrease in the balance of non-current assets
with a corresponding increase in deferred tax assets and liabilities; (ii) an
increase in certain revenues and expenses which were previously recorded net of
tax; and (iii) a more normalized effective tax rate.
Upon adoption in 1994, the Company applied the provisions of SFAS No. 109
retroactively to August 1, 1990. The effect of initially applying SFAS No. 109
as of August 1, 1990 was a $20.0 million increase in net deferred tax
liabilities, a $4.9 million decrease in non-current assets and a corresponding
charge of $24.9 million ($2.11 per common share), as a cumulative effect of the
change in the method of accounting for income taxes. The effect of applying
SFAS No. 109 to the fiscal year ended June 30, 1991 was a change to income of
$7.1 million ($0.57 per common share) with a corresponding increase in net
deferred tax liabilities. The effect of applying SFAS No. 109 to 1993 and 1992
was not material.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flow from operating activities totalling $170.1 million was the
Company's primary source of cash over the past three fiscal years. This cash
flow has funded a substantial portion of the Company's debt principal payments,
capital expenditures and dividend requirements. The Company believes that
internally generated cash flow will continue to be its primary source of funds.
The Company's net cash flow from operating activities before interest and tax
payments ("Operating Cash Flow") was $82.6 million, $85.5 million and $94.6
million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The fluctuation in Operating
Cash Flow year-to-year primarily reflected the impact of seasonality on the
Company's business.
Total interest payments on short-term and long-term debt were $8.5 million,
$11.3 million and $14.8 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
decrease in interest payments in both 1994 and 1993 primarily reflected lower
interest expense as a result of factors previously discussed. The decrease in
1994 also reflected a change in the timing of interest payments on the
Company's long-term debt as a result of the Company Refinancing.
Total net tax payments, were $ 17.6 million, $19.5 million and $20.9 million
for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Capital expenditures of $35.3 million, $30.9 million and $27.1 million for
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, have been funded primarily by internally
generated cash flow. Of the total amount spent for capital expenditures in
1994, approximately $10.3 million was spent to maintain existing capacity and
equipment and $19.5 million was spent to increase capacity. Approximately
$15.5 million of the expenditures incurred to increase capacity were spent to
expand the Company's industrial potash production capacity at the Company's
primary potash refinery in Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan. The expansion of the
Company's industrial potash production capacity is expected to be substantially
completed by the end of fiscal 1995. The remaining $5.5 million of capital
expenditures was primarily spent on environmental and cost reduction matters.
The Company handles certain hazardous substances in connection with the
manufacture and blending of fertilizers, and blending of pesticides and related
products with fertilizers in the normal course of its business. The Company
incurred approximately $2.7 million, $4.7 million and $2.5 million in capital
expenditures with respect to environmental matters during 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. The increase in 1993 environmental expenditures represented
planned expenditures in response to environmental compliance requirements.
Most of these expenditures were incurred to construct secondary containment
structures at facilities used in the Company's retail distribution system to
prevent contamination from spills of fertilizers, pesticides and related
products. Spills or other unintended releases of hazardous substances and/or
fertilizer nutrients have occurred at Company facilities in the past and may
occur in the future. It is impossible to predict with reasonable certainty the
level of future expenditures that may be required with respect to environmental
matters, including remediation of contamination at such facilities. However,
as of the present time, the Company has not been required to make material
expenditures for the cleanup of contamination at such facilities.
Proceeds from the sale of assets of $13.4 million for 1994 primarily reflected
the impact of the sale of 18 FARMARKETs to Cenex previously discussed.
Cash outflows related to other long-term assets and liabilities for 1994 of
$11.4 million increased $3.8 million over 1993. The increase primarily
reflected the Company's purchase of long-term gas supply contracts and the
purchase of first mortgages on farmland in Florida for which the Company was a
secondary mortgage. Based on land values for comparable properties, among
other factors, management believes that the Company will realize its remaining
in the properties through future sale.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The seasonality of the Company's businesses affects the timing of its cash
flows. The Company typically incurs certain cash outflows in preparation for
the planting seasons and receives the majority of its cash from sales to
customers during the fourth quarter. The Company relies on availability under
revolving credit facilities and money market lines to meet seasonal
fluctuations in working capital requirements. As of June 30, 1993 total
availability under revolving credit facilities was limited by the levels of
inventory and accounts receivable which secured these borrowings. As a result
of the Company Refinancing, these limitations on availability under the
revolving credit facility were eliminated. Total additional availability under
such revolving credit facilites and money market lines at June 30, 1994 and
1993 was $168.7 million and $67.1 million, respectively. Availability under
the Company's revolving credit facilities has been and is anticipated to be
sufficient to meet the seasonal demands of its businesses.
As of June 30, 1994 and 1993, TVC's and TVC's subsidiaries long-term and
short-term debt agreements contained covenants pertaining to maintenance of
certain levels of financial condition and liquidity and certain limitations on
subsidiary dividends and other distributions. Since TVC is a holding company
with its investment in its subsidiaries as its primary asset, its ability to
pay dividends to holders of common stock is dependent on cash being available
for distribution to TVC from its subsidiaries. At June 30, 1994, there were no
significant restrictions on the Company's consolidated net assets. At June 30,
1993, approximately 73.0% of consolidated net assets were restricted under
various subsidiary debt agreements. These restrictions did not impact the
ability of the subsidiaries to distribute sufficient cash to TVC to meet its
dividend and other cash requirements, and TVC believes that the restrictions
under the Company Refinancing do not unduly restrict TVC's ability to meet its
dividend and other cash requirements.
During 1994, the Company repurchased 885,000 shares of its common stock at an
aggregate cost of $22.8 million. These repurchases were funded with cash from
operations as well as borrowings made under the Company's revolving credit
facility. The Company subsequently reissued 500,000 shares of this stock in
connection with the Acquisition.
Dividends paid during 1994, 1993 and 1992 totalled $14.3 million, $12.8 million
and $9.0 million, respectively. The Company's regular quarterly dividends have
historically been paid in the quarter subsequent to the quarter in which such
dividends were declared by the Board of Directors.
The Company believes that the operations and working capital requirements of
Mid-Ohio throughout the year are impacted by the same factors that impact the
Company's operations and working capital needs. Therefore, the Company
believes the acquisition of Mid-Ohio will further increase the impact of
seasonality on the Company's nitrogen-based business. The Company believes
that its existing credit facility and money market lines are adequate to meet
the additional seasonal borrowing needs of the Mid-Ohio operations. In
addition, the Company believes that the future capital spending requirements
for each of Mid-Ohio's 39 retail farm service centers and certain production
facilities will be similar to the capital spending requirements for the
Company's existing comparable facilities which is not currently material.

THE VIGORO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
1.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The results of the application
of such principles do not significantly differ from the results of the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in Canada except as
noted in Note 16.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The
Vigoro Corporation ("TVC") and its subsidiaries: KCL Holdings, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "Kalium"); Phoenix Chemical Company ("Phoenix");
and Vigoro Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively,"Vigoro
Industries"); (TVC and its subsidiaries being collectively referred to as the
"Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") which
required a change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. The objective of the SFAS No. 109 method of
accounting for income taxes is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities
for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of
assets and liabilities at the currently enacted tax rates. The Company has
elected to restate prior years' financial statements by retroactively applying
the provisions of SFAS No. 109 to August 1, 1990 (See Note 9). All references
to "Restated" in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
reflect the impact of this retroactive application.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's customer base primarily includes corn and soybean farmers in the
Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Although the Company is directly
affected by the well being of these customers, the Company does not believe
that significant credit risk beyond allowances for doubtful accounts is
inherent in the Company's receivables. However, weather conditions and other
factors may impact the payment ability of a customer or group of customers.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily
determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
LONG-TERM PURCHASE CONTRACTS
The Company enters into long-term contracts for the purchase of various
fertilizer raw materials and natural gas supplies. Commitments under these
contracts are evaluated in the same manner as inventories and, accordingly, a
provision for loss is recognized when the committed price exceeds the value
determined through application of the lower of cost or market principle.
PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND MINERAL DEPOSITS
-13-
<PAGE> 74
Property, plant, equipment and mineral deposits are recorded at cost. For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation expense is generally provided using
the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of assets ranging from three to 30 years. Costs associated with the
acquisition and development of specific mineral deposits are capitalized and
depleted on the unit of production basis.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is being amortized over 40 years. The Company's goodwill arose from
the Acquisition, as defined in Note 3, and the purchase of minority interests
in the Company prior to its initial public offering in May 1991.
OTHER ASSETS
Included in other assets are debt issuance costs which are being amortized over
the terms of the various agreements and organization costs which are being
amortized over five years. During the year ended June 30, 1993, the Company
wrote off $2.6 million in unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with
certain debt prepayments.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized when the product is shipped or a service is performed.
Revenues relating to the Company's potash operations are recorded based on the
F.O.B. mine price. Potash transportation costs to customers or to
Company-owned warehouses are reimbursed by the customer. Transportation costs
reimbursed by customers for the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993, and 1992 of
$48.0 million, $45.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, have been netted
against the associated transportation costs in the consolidated statements of
income.
PROVINCIAL RESOURCE TAXES
The Company's mining operations are subject to certain royalty and production
taxes ("Provincial resource taxes"). These payments are based on a number of
factors related to the production and sale of potash. Provincial resource
taxes are presented separately in the consolidated statements of income.
NON-RECURRING (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET
During the year ended June 30, 1994, a subsidiary of the Company sold the
assets of 18 FARMARKETs(R) and 3 satellite locations. The consideration for
the sale aggregated approximately $13.0 million resulting in a one-time pre-tax
gain of approximately $7.6 million which was recorded as non-recurring income
in the consolidated statements of income. In contemplation of the sale of the
18 FARMARKETs, the Company initiated a review of its remaining nitrogen-based
business operations, including certain blending plants that supply product to
the Company's FARMARKET system. Factors considered in this review included,
among other things, historical and projected cash flows as well as capacity
utilization. Based on this review as well as the anticipated impact from the
sale of the 18 FARMARKETs, the Company determined that certain of these assets
had been impaired. In addition, during the year ended June 30, 1994, the
Company purchased first mortgages and subsequently foreclosed on farmland in
Florida for which the Company was a second mortgage holder. Upon completion of
the foreclosure, the Company evaluated several alternatives to realize its
investment in the properties. The evaluation of the properties included, among
other things, reviewing appraised values and recent selling prices of similar
properties in the area. As a result of this review, the Company determined
that the carrying value of the properties exceeded their market value and their
carrying values were written down accordingly. As a result of the above, the
Company recorded a pre-tax charge in the year ended June 30, 1994 of
approximately $5.6 million which was netted against non- recurring income to
reflect the estimated net realizable values of the assets. The $5.6 million
charge to income primarily consisted of a $4.6 million write-down of various
properties, plants and equipment, and various other long-term assets and $0.6
million in related reserves.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense is shown net of interest income of $1.1 million, $0.3
million and $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of debt
issuance costs of $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively,
for the same periods referred to above.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
-14-
<PAGE> 75
Foreign operations included in these Consolidated Financial Statements
principally relate to potash mining operations in Canada. The functional
currency of the Company's Canadian operations is the U.S. dollar. Certain
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in
Canadian dollars and must be translated to the Company's reporting currency,
the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company's Canadian operations have a certain
degree of foreign exchange rate risk. Gains and losses on foreign currency
translation for these operations are included in other (income) expense, net.
The Company does not currently engage in any material hedging activities to
mitigate its foreign exchange risk.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS -- EARLY RETIREMENT OF DEBT
In connection with the Company's retirement of approximately $18.0 million of
Vigoro Industries 12.75% Senior Subordinated Notes ("12.75% Notes") during
fiscal 1993 and the Company Refinancing, as defined in Note 6, the Company
recorded an extraordinary loss of $2.0 million, net of tax benefits, or $0.10
per common share, in the year ended June 30, 1993.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. The exercise of outstanding stock options would not result
in a material dilution of earnings per common share (See Note 12).
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' Consolidated
Financial Statements in order to conform with the current-year presentation.
2. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto is
estimated fair value information as of June 30, 1994, as required by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107"). In accordance with SFAS No. 107, the
estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value estimates are based
on various assumptions, methodologies and subjective considerations, which vary
widely among different companies. The fair value estimates do not purport to
represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. The following methods
and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial
instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying values in the consolidated balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the estimated fair values of
such assets.
Receivables - The carrying values in the consolidated balance sheets for
receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, approximate the estimated
fair values of such assets due to their short duration.
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt - The estimated fair values of the Company's
short-term and long-term debt approximate the quoted market prices for the same
or similar issues or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the
same remaining maturities. Therefore, the carrying amounts in the consolidated
balance sheets approximate the estimated fair values of such debt.
3. ACQUISITION:
On April 4, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
businesses of three related corporations (collectively, "Mid-Ohio") in exchange
for 601,980 unregistered shares of TVC's common stock with an aggregate market
value of $19.0 million, 500,000 shares of which were issued from treasury, and
2,820 shares of TVC's 7% cumulative preferred stock with a liquidation value of
$10,000 per share or $28.2 million in the aggregate (the "Acquisition"). In
addition, the Company assumed selected liabilities of Mid-Ohio which totalled
$70.1 million at the date of acquisition. The Acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase business combination intended to qualify as a tax free "C"
reorganization. The cost of the Mid-Ohio Acquisition has been allocated on the
basis of the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. The allocation and tax free reorganization resulted in
goodwill of approximately $17.2 million which is being amortized over 40 years.
The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized during fiscal 1995 as
additional information becomes available.

6. COMPANY REFINANCING:
In August 1993 the Company refinanced a substantial portion of its existing
short-term and long-term debt to provide the Company with additional financial
flexibility and to take advantage of favorable interest rates in the long-term
debt market (the
-16-
<PAGE> 77
"Company Refinancing"). A group of commercial banks and an institutional
lender refinanced short-term and long-term debt, respectively.
As part of the Company Refinancing, the Company entered into a new, unsecured
$200.0 million revolving credit agreement maturing on October 31, 1996, with a
syndicate of commercial banks, $110.0 million of which is available for use by
TVC to finance seasonal working capital requirements and $60.0 million of which
is available to TVC for use for general corporate purposes. The remaining
$30.0 million under this credit agreement is available for use by the Company's
principal Canadian subsidiary, Kalium Canada, Ltd. ("Kalium Canada"), to
provide financing for general corporate purposes. The $200.0 million credit
facility replaced secured and unsecured credit facilities previously available
to TVC's subsidiaries. Availability under the $200.0 million credit facility
is reduced by: (i) any amounts drawn under the facility; and (ii) certain
outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had borrowed
approximately $27.0 million and had approximately $157.9 million available
under the facility. Borrowings by the Company under this facility are
guaranteed by all subsidiaries while borrowings by Kalium Canada are guaranteed
by TVC and all subsidiaries other than Kalium Canada. At the Company's option
and depending on certain financial ratios, this facility bears interest at
either the paying agent's base rate, the paying agent's certificate of deposit
rate plus 0.75% to 1.0% or the Eurodollar interest rate plus 0.625% to 0.875%.
The Company was required to pay a one-time upfront fee in an amount equal to
0.15% of the facilities and an annual facility fee in an amount equal to 0.18%
of the facility. In addition, the Company paid certain fees to the facility
co-agents.
As part of the Company Refinancing, TVC also entered into a new, unsecured
$17.0 million term loan and Kalium Canada entered into a new, unsecured $55.0
million term loan. These term loans were used to refinance secured and
unsecured indebtedness of the Company. In addition, the Company and Kalium
Canada entered into a private shelf facility for $68.0 million, of which $18.0
million was drawn by Kalium Canada. Proceeds from the $18.0 million of shelf
borrowings were used to fund the redemption by Vigoro Industries of its 12.75%
Notes. The $18.0 million of shelf borrowings has the same terms with respect
to maturities and interest rates as Kalium Canada's unsecured term loan. The
lender under the shelf facility is not obligated to make additional loans to
the Company or Kalium Canada and the Company and Kalium Canada are not
obligated to borrow additional money under this facility. The new, unsecured
term loans to Kalium Canada and TVC bear interest at 6.6% and 6.7%,
respectively, and will mature at various times from 2002 to 2005. Borrowings
by the Company under these facilities are guaranteed by all of the Company's
subsidiaries while borrowings by Kalium Canada are guaranteed by TVC and all of
its subsidiaries other than Kalium Canada.
The facility and term loans contain several financial and other restrictive
covenants, including limitations on the ability of TVC to pay dividends on or
redeem common stock beyond certain specified amounts and make acquisitions. In
addition, these facilities and term loans are subject to customary events of
default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults, failure to comply
with environmental laws, defaults under certain other agreements and changes of
control.
In connection with the Company Refinancing, the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per common share, in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1993 reflecting the write-off of deferred financing fees as
well as an early redemption premium on certain indebtedness refinanced with
borrowings under the new credit agreement, the shelf agreement and the new term
loans.
In addition to the $200.0 million credit facility discussed above, the Company
has approximately $70.0 million of uncommitted demand money market lines
offered by a number of banks. By resolution of the Company's Board of
Directors, the Company may make borrowings under these lines so long as any
amounts borrowed under these lines, plus any credit extended under the
Company's $200.0 million revolving credit facility, do not in the aggregate
exceed $225.0 million. Advances under these lines are made at the sole
discretion of the lenders and bear interest at rates determined on a daily
basis at the discretion of the lenders. As of June 30, 1994 the Company had
approximately $14.5 million outstanding under such money market lines. As of
June 30, 1994 total additional availability under the revolving credit facility
and demand money market lines was $183.5 million.
7. SHORT-TERM DEBT:
In August 1993, the Company refinanced a substantial portion of its existing
short-term and long-term debt. The Company Refinancing replaced financing
previously available to TVC's subsidiaries and provided additional liquidity
for working capital and general corporate purposes (See Note 6).
-17-
<PAGE> 78
At June 30, 1993, Vigoro Industries had a revolving credit facility with a
group of banks. Under the facility, borrowings of up to $125.0 million were
available based primarily on percentages of eligible accounts receivable,
exchange receivables and inventories, all of which secured the borrowings. At
June 30, 1993, approximately $30.0 million was outstanding under this facility.
In addition, at June 30, 1993, $47.1 million was available under this
agreement. The facility, which was to expire on July 1, 1995, provided for
alternative floating interest rates at the Company's option, which generally
approximated LIBOR plus 1.0%. Commitment fees on the revolving credit facility
were 0.25% of $125.0 million per annum. This facility was refinanced as part
of the Company Refinancing.
In May 1991, Kalium entered into amended and restated loan agreements which
provided a $30.0 million revolving credit facility. On December 18, 1992,
Kalium amended this agreement to reduce availability under the facility from
$30.0 million to $20.0 million, in addition to releasing the security interest
in all of Kalium's assets. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit
facility were due in full on July 31, 1997 and bore interest at variable rates
approximating LIBOR plus 1.25%. Commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the
revolving credit facility were 0.5% per annum. At June 30, 1993, $20.0 million
was available under this revolving credit agreement. This credit agreement was
refinanced in conjunction with the Company Refinancing.
8. LONG-TERM DEBT:
In August 1993, the Company refinanced a substantial portion of its existing
short-term and long-term debt. The Company Refinancing replaced financing
previously available to TVC's subsidiaries and provided additional liquidity
for working capital and general corporate purposes (See Note 6).
Long-term debt at June 30, 1994 and 1993 consisted of the following (amounts in

In 1991, Kalium entered into an amended and restated loan agreement which
provided a $70.0 million term loan. Kalium amended this agreement on
December 18, 1992 to release the security interest in all of Kalium's assets.
The term loan bore interest at variable rates approximating LIBOR plus 1.5% for
years one through three and LIBOR plus 1.75% thereafter. In addition, it
required annual installment payments of $7.5 million from June 30, 1993 through
June 30, 1994; $12.5 million on June 30, 1995; and $17.5 million on June 30,
1996 and at maturity on July 31, 1997. This loan agreement was refinanced in
conjunction with the Company Refinancing.
Vigoro Industries' 12.75% Notes which were due July 31, 1996 contained
redemption provisions, at Vigoro Industries' option, at a price of 103.19% of
the principal amount through July 1993, and at prices which declined gradually
to 100% on July 31, 1994, and thereafter. The 12.75% Notes were generally
subordinated in right of payment to other outstanding debt of Vigoro
Industries. These notes were refinanced as part of the Company Refinancing.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1993, prior to the Company Refinancing, the
Company adopted a plan to redeem approximately $18.0 million of Vigoro
Industries' 12.75% Notes. The Company used the proceeds from a floating rate
term bank facility (discussed below) to redeem $9.4 million of the 12.75% Notes
at a price of 103.19%. The remaining $8.6 million of 12.75% Notes to be
redeemed under the plan were redeemed at a price of 103.19% with cash provided
from operations. The redemption resulted in the Company recording an
extraordinary charge of $0.6 million, net of tax, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1993.
-18-
<PAGE> 79
In August 1992, Vigoro Industries amended its revolving credit facility. The
amendment allowed for borrowings of up to $115.0 million (previously $125.0
million) and extended the facility's expiration date from November 30, 1993
to July 1, 1995. In addition, the amendment provided for an additional $10.6
million secured term facility, $9.7 million of which was used by Vigoro
Industries to redeem $9.4 million of 12.75% Notes as discussed above. The
additional secured term facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 2%. Annual
principal payments on Vigoro Industries' term debt increased to $2.0 million
(previously $970,000) due each year on June 30 through June 30, 1995 with the
remaining balance to be repaid at maturity on July 1, 1995. Amounts
outstanding under this term facility were refinanced as part of the Company
Refinancing.
The industrial development and revenue bonds ("IRBs"), which total $12.4
million, are secured by letters of credit totalling $13.0 million which expire
at various times in fiscal 1995. The IRBs mature in fiscal 1998 through fiscal
2003. The interest rates on the IRBs are variable, averaging 2.5% during
fiscal 1994, 2.8% during fiscal 1993 and 4.3% during 1992.
The subsidiaries' former long-term and short-term debt agreements contained
certain covenants pertaining to, among other things, the maintenance of net
working capital, total capital, tangible net worth and cash flow ratios at the
subsidiary levels and certain limitations on subsidiary capital stock and other
distributions to TVC. At June 30, 1993, approximately 73.0% of consolidated
net assets were subject to such restrictions under the various debt agreements.
There were no significant restrictions on the Company's net assets at June 30,
1994.
Total interest payments on short-term and long-term debt for the years ended
June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $8.9 million, $11.3 million and $14.8
million, respectively.

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for Canadian
withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of its Canadian subsidiary. It
is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest the approximate $70.5
million of unremitted earnings of Kalium Canada generated prior to June 30,
1994. Therefore, Canadian withholding taxes of $7.1 million which would be
payable upon repatriation of such earnings, or upon dissolution of the
Company's investment, have not been provided for in the consolidated
statements.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Phosphate is purchased under an agreement with a major supplier providing for
the purchase of minimum quantities at prices which vary with market prices.
This contract expires on June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company has
contracted for both delivery and supplies of natural gas. The contracts
generally range from one to five years. Approximately $21.6 million, or 56.5%,
of the Company's estimated natural gas needs for fiscal 1995 are under
contract.
The Company leases plants, warehouses, terminals, office facilities and various
types of equipment under operating leases. Lease terms generally range from
three to five years, some with renewal options for additional periods. Certain
leases provide for payment of taxes, insurance and other operating expenses.
Rent expense was $13.0 million, $12.6 million and $11.1 million for the years
ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Minimum commitments under long-term purchase agreements and minimum rental
commitments under noncancelable operating leases at June 30, 1994 were as

As is the case with other companies engaged in the fertilizer manufacturing and
distribution business, the Company must comply with increasingly demanding
environmental standards imposed by federal, state, provincial and local
environmental laws and regulations. Governmental regulatory agencies have
identified several of the Company's facilities for investigation or possible
-21-
<PAGE> 82
environmental cleanup pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. At two
locations, the Company has agreed, pursuant to consent orders with the
appropriate governmental agencies, to undertake certain remedial actions
dependent upon the results of investigations which currently are in progress.
The cost of any remedial actions that ultimately may be required at these two
sites, or at the other sites cannot currently be determined. The Company is
the beneficiary of certain indemnification agreements with PPG Industries,
Inc., Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation ("Kaiser Aluminum"), Beatrice
Companies, Inc., Estech, Inc. and certain private parties with respect to
facilities and operations of the Company purchased from those parties which
include the two sites subject to the consent orders. While there can be no
assurance that the Company will obtain full indemnification in these two or
other such cases, the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from
parties to these agreements of a portion of the expenditures which the Company
may be required to incur to remedy environmental problems that are attributable
to activities prior to acquisition of such facilities and operations from such
parties. In that regard, the Company has received and anticipates receiving
amounts pursuant to these agreements for certain of its expenses incurred to
date. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had accrued approximately $2.5 million
with regard to its future potential environmental related costs.
Vigoro Industries is a defendant or third party defendant, generally with
numerous other defendants in the processing and distribution chain, in a number
of lawsuits (now totalling 97 cases in various state courts), in each case in
connection with the sale of an agricultural fertilizer solution to Hoover
Treated Wood Products, Inc. and its predecessor (collectively, "Hoover") used
by Hoover to treat wood. Sales to Hoover were commenced by Kaiser Aluminum and
continued by Vigoro Industries from 1985 until they were discontinued in 1988.
Only a few of the complaints specify a dollar amount of damages. In some of
the cases, punitive damages are also sought by the plaintiffs.
In July 1994, the Special Master assisting the Superior Court Judge who
supervises the New Jersey state court cases (which account for 96 of the 97
cases described above) reported that all but three claims in the New Jersey
cases in which Vigoro Industries is a party have either settled or the
plaintiffs in those cases have committed to a settlement model which should
result in a settlement. Taking into account the report from the New Jersey
Superior Court Judge's Special Master, the settlement of a case pending in
Connecticut and based on the Company's knowledge acquired to date through
discovery proceedings, the aggregate remaining compensatory damage claims
against Vigoro Industries that are not reported to be settled or committed to
settlement now approximate $4.3 million.
In May 1993, Vigoro Industries executed two agreements with Hoover and certain
interested parties relating to the Hoover litigation. Under these agreements,
Vigoro Industries will pay Hoover an amount not to exceed $2.0 million, a
substantial portion of which is expected to be paid by Vigoro Industries'
insurance carriers. In return, Hoover has released Vigoro Industries from all
present and future asserted claims arising from the sale and distribution of
wood treated by Hoover and has agreed to indemnify and hold Vigoro Industries
harmless from all present and future asserted claims arising from the sale and
distribution of the wood treated by Hoover and has agreed to indemnify and hold
Vigoro Industries harmless from all present and future asserted claims by other
parties related to such wood. In addition, Hoover has agreed to use its best
efforts to cause all the other parties to dismiss their claims against Vigoro
Industries. The Company has accrued the $2.0 million in gross damages referred
to above in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not
recorded a receivable related to the amount it anticipates receiving from its
insurance carriers as a settlement with the Company's insurance carriers has
not been reached. While the Company cannot assure that Hoover can obtain
dismissals of all other parties' claims or will be able to meet its obligation
to indemnify and hold Vigoro Industries harmless, the Company believes that the
agreements with Hoover, coupled with Vigoro Industries' existing insurance
coverage and substantial meritorious defenses, should result in resolution of
all pending claims without any material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
In April 1993, a number of class action suits were filed in U.S. federal
district courts and two California state courts against most North American
potash producers. Two of TVC's subsidiaries, Kalium Chemicals, Ltd. ("Kalium
Chemicals") and Kalium Canada, have been named as defendants in these actions.
The complaints essentially allege that the North American potash producers
acted together to fix the price of potash sold to the United States, and that
by unspecified means and in unspecified circumstances, Kalium Chemicals and
Kalium Canada became a part of such acts.
The first suits were filed in April 1993 in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Minnesota. One suit was subsequently withdrawn and the remaining
12 suits were consolidated. In May and June, respectively, substantially
similar class action suits were filed in the U.S. District Courts for the
Northern District of Illinois and the Western District of Virginia. The
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these federal actions to
the U. S. District Court for the District of Minnesota for consolidated
pretrial proceedings.
In December 1993, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
disqualified certain of plaintiffs' counsel in these three actions on the
grounds that their use of the information on which the complaints were based
involved an unwaivable conflict of interest between the defendants and the
former general counsel of one of the defendants. The Eighth Circuit Court of
Appeals
-22-
<PAGE> 83
has denied the appeal of this decision, and a request for rehearing has also
been refused. However, a new consolidated complaint was filed on March 1, 1994
by the counsel who were not disqualified by the U.S. District Court for the
District of Minnesota's December order. Still another complaint was filed in
that court in April 1994 and, on July 8, 1994, a Third Amended and Consolidated
Complaint was filed consolidating all of these actions. All of these claims
are asserted on behalf of a purported group of direct purchasers of potash. In
April 1994, the plaintiffs moved the court to certify their action as a class
action. It is anticipated that motion will be decided within the next couple
of months.
In addition to the direct purchaser actions filed in the U.S. district courts,
two complaints have been filed in California state courts on behalf of indirect
purchasers residing in California. The first California suit was filed in Los
Angeles in May 1993. In July 1993, the defendants removed this action to the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The second
California suit was filed in March 1994 in San Francisco. In April 1994, the
defendants removed that action to the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has
transferred both of these indirect purchaser actions to the U.S. District Court
for the district of Minnesota to be consolidated with the direct purchaser
actions for pretrial proceedings. The plaintiff in the action originally filed
in Los Angeles has moved the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
to certify the action as a class action. The plaintiffs in the action
originally filed in San Francisco have moved to remand that action to the
California court.
None of the complaints specify the amount of damages sought by the plaintiffs.
All of the complaints seek treble damages and attorney's fees and ask that the
court find the defendants jointly and severally liable for the alleged
misconduct.
The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") has initiated
a grand jury investigation into the allegations made in the civil actions.
Kalium Chemicals and the U.S. affiliates of the North American potash producers
involved in the civil actions have received subpoenas from the DOJ to produce
certain business records. The subpoena directed to Kalium Chemicals is dated
November 23, 1993 and was issued by the DOJ Antitrust Division's office in
Cleveland, Ohio.
These cases and the DOJ investigation are at preliminary stages and as a
result, Kalium Chemicals and Kalium Canada are not able to estimate the amount
of damages that could ultimately be sought. Based upon available information,
the Company believes that neither Kalium Chemicals nor Kalium Canada acted in
concert with others to fix prices in violation of the U.S. antitrust laws or
any other laws. As a result of, among other considerations, consultations with
its attorney, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these cases
will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or the
financial condition of the Company.
The Company has, from time to time, become a party to claims and lawsuits in
the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that such claims and
lawsuits to which the Company is currently a party will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial condition of the
Company.
11. RETIREMENT PLANS:
The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor defined contribution plans for both
union and nonunion employees. Plan contributions for the union employees'
plans, as well as the nonunion and salaried employees' plans, are based on a
percentage of wages earned by the eligible employees. In addition, under each
of the plans, participants are permitted to defer a portion of their
compensation. Contributions by the Company and its subsidiaries are made in
varying percentages. During the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, a
total of $2.2 million, $2.8 million, and $2.7 million was expensed under these
retirement plans, respectively. The Company does not offer other
post-retirement benefits.
12. STOCK OPTION PLAN:
The Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") on March 25,
1991. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, certain directors, officers, key
employees and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate and may
receive the opportunity to acquire shares of the Company's common stock through
the grant of stock options and to participate in increases in the value of the
common stock through stock appreciation rights. One million shares of the
common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.
During fiscal 1994, awards of approximately 340,000 stock options to purchase
the same number of shares of common stock were granted to officers, directors,
certain key employees and consultants of the Company. As of June 30, 1994, a
total of approximately 520,000 stock options to purchase the same number of
shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $20.05 to $40.59 were
outstanding, of which approximately 190,000 were exercisable as of June 30,
1994. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 1994, awards of approximately
480,000 stock options to purchase the same number of shares of common stock
with exercise prices ranging from $36.10 to $39.66 were granted to officers,
directors, certain key employees and consultants of the Company. All of the
option exercise prices approximated or exceeded market values on the dates of
grant.

13. TREASURY STOCK PURCHASES:
On September 30, 1993, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its common
stock from the Company's principal shareholder, Great American Management and
Investment, Inc. ("GAMI"), at a price of $24.625 per share or $12.3 million in
the aggregate. The treasury stock purchase was made in conjunction with a
secondary offering by GAMI to the public of 3.0 million shares of the Company's
common stock. In April 1994, these shares were subsequently reissued in
partial satisfaction of the shares issued pursuant to the Acquisition.
In addition to the above treasury stock purchase, during the month of May 1994,
the Company repurchased 385,000 shares of its common stock in open market
transactions at prices that ranged from $26.00 per common share to $28.50 per
common share or $10.5 million in the aggregate. The various treasury stock
repurchases, including the repurchases made from GAMI, were funded by cash
provided from operations and borrowings made under the Company's revolving
credit agreement.

(*) Intercompany transfers of product from Canada to the United States were at
prices approximating those charged to unaffiliated customers. No single
customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues for the years
ended June 30, 1994, 1993, or 1992.
16. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP) IN CANADA:
The Company follows United States GAAP, which differs in some respects from
accounting principles applicable in Canada. The following are the significant
differences in accounting principles as they pertain to these Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Extraordinary items - Under Canadian GAAP, gains on the early retirement of
debt and the write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the prepayment of
indebtedness would not have been treated as an extraordinary items, but rather
would have been included in operating expenses.
Income taxes -- U.S. GAAP requires the use of the liability method of
accounting for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Canadian GAAP follows the allocation method of accounting for income taxes that
existed under APB 11. As a result, the following effects of the use of APB 11
would have been reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:
(i) certain assets and liabilities would have been recorded net of tax in
connection with purchase accounting resulting in an increase in the balance of
non-current assets with a corresponding decrease in net deferred taxes; (ii)
certain revenues and expenses would have been recorded net of tax resulting in
a decrease in pre-tax income; and (iii) a less normalized effective tax rate.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):
In July 1994, in a purchase business combination, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets, excluding certain real property, of Koos, Inc.
located in Kenosha, Wisconsin and Lederer of Florida, Inc., an affiliated
company. Koos, Inc. manufactured and distributed potassium-based ice-melt as
well as specialty fertilizers and vermiculite. Koos, Inc. and Lederer of
Florida, Inc. had combined sales of approximately $30.3 million for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1994. The purchase price approximated $7.0 million plus
the assumption of approximately $11.5 million of selected liabilities. The
purchase price will be finalized in fiscal 1995 upon completion of an audit and
asset valuations.
In addition, on August 3, 1994 the Company sold 17 of its retail FARMARKET
centers located in Illinois to GROWMARK, Inc. and certain of its member
companies in exchange for cash and a long-term potash supply agreement.
Proceeds on the sale approximated $7.0 million. The Company anticipates
recording a gain on the sale in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Vigoro Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The
Vigoro Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30,
1994 and 1993, and the consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Vigoro
Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1993 and 1992, and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
