ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 1994
Results of Operations
Consolidated net sales increased by more than 4% on improved sales at the
Lighting, Raco, and Industrial Controls subsidiaries, and inclusion of E. M.
Wiegmann & Company, Inc. which was acquired in late March, 1993, partially
offset by lower activity at the Pulsecom Communications subsidiary. Operating
income increased by 2% as a large portion of the sales growth was in
lower-margined products. Additionally, the Company has continued to increase
expenditures for product and market development and customer service
enhancement.
Low Voltage segment sales increased 2% on higher shipments of fluorescent
lighting products and industrial controls. Operating income increased 10% on
the higher sales volume and the favorable impact of cost controls and
productivity improvements.
Sales of the High Voltage segment increased 5% as most product lines showed
improvement. Operating income increased 7% on the higher sales volume and
improved capacity utilization.
Other Industry segment sales increased 9% on improved shipments of enclosures,
fittings, switch and outlet boxes, and inclusion of E. M. Wiegmann & Company,
Inc. which offset the lower sales of telecommunication products. Segment
operating income was 22% lower than last year reflecting the reduced shipments
of higher-margined products combined with a high level of development expenses
for the next generation of telecommunications products.
The effective tax rate for 1994 was 26%, the same as in 1993. Net income and
earnings per share increased by 1% respectful, over last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1994, notes payable of $99.2 million and long-term debt of $2.7
million were 17.9% of shareholders' equity. Working capital was $138.9 million
and the current ratio was 1.6 to 1.0.

HUBBELL INCORPORATED Exhibit 10b(1)
1973 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES
1. Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the 1973 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees (the
"Plan") is to further the growth and development of Hubbell Incorporated (the
"Company") by providing an incentive through encouraging ownership of stock of
the Company to officers and other key employees who are in a position to
contribute materially to the prosperity of the Company, to increase their
interest in the Company's welfare, and continue their services, and by
affording a means through which the Company can attract to its services,
employees of outstanding ability.
2. Administration of the Plan
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee"), consisting of three or more members of the Board of Directors of
the Company ("Board of Directors") who are not eligible, and who have not at
any time within one year prior to their appointment to the Committee been
eligible, for selection as persons to whom capital stock may be allocated or to
whom qualified, non-qualified, restricted, incentive, or employee stock
purchase plan stock options may be granted pursuant to this Plan or any other
plan of the Company or any of its affiliates entitling the participants therein
to acquire stock or qualified, restricted, non-qualified, incentive, or
employee stock purchase plan stock options of the Company or any of its
affiliates. The members of the Committee shall be appointed from time to time
by the Board of Directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. From and
after the first meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected
that occurs after July 1, 1994, the Committee shall contain at least two
"Outside Directors" as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
have authority in its discretion to determine the individuals to whom, and the
time or times at which options shall be granted, and the number of shares to be
subject to each option. In making such determinations, the Committee may take
into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective employees,
their present and potential contribution to the Company's success, and such
other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.
Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
also have authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind
rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the terms and provisions of
the respective option agreements (which need not be identical) and to make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
- 1 -
<PAGE> 2
The Committee shall select one of its members as a Chairman, who shall
preside at meetings and who shall have authority to execute and deliver
documents on behalf of the Committee. Meetings of the Committee shall be held
at such times and places as the members thereof may determine. The majority of
its members shall constitute a quorum, and all determinations of the Committee
shall be made by a majority of its members. No member of the Committee shall
be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by such member or by any
other member of the Committee in connection with this Plan, except for such
member's own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute.
3. Stock Subject to the Plan
Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 5(d) of this Plan, the
aggregate number of shares of stock which may be issued under options granted
under this Plan shall be 1,800,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 4,602,700 shares of the Company's Class B
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. The number of shares of stock which
may be issued under options granted under this Plan to any one individual in
any fiscal year shall not exceed 150,000 shares. Solely with respect to option
grants made prior to March 10, 1987, each option granted shall relate to equal
amounts of the Company's Class A Common and Class B Common Stock.
Options granted by the Committee may be "incentive stock options" (as
defined in Section 422 of the Code or options which are not "incentive stock
options", or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.
Options may be granted with respect to either authorized but unissued
shares, or reacquired shares. In the event that any option under the Plan
expires or is terminated for any reason prior to the end of the period during
which options may be granted, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion
of such option shall again be available for the purposes of this Plan.
4. Eligibility
Options may be granted only to officers and other key employees of the
Company and subsidiary corporations (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code).
Directors who are not officers or employees shall not be eligible. Subject to
the other provisions of this Plan, an individual may hold or be granted more
than one option. No incentive stock option shall be granted hereunder which
would permit the person to whom the option is granted to own (within the
meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), immediately after the option is
granted, stock (including stock issuable upon the exercise of options)
possessing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company, unless at the time any such option is granted
the option price is at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the stock
subject to the option, and such option by its terms is not exercisable after
the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted.
- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
5. Terms and Conditions of Options

The option price of the stock subject to each option shall, except as
otherwise provided herein (i) not be less than the greater of (A) 100 percent

death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of
not less than twelve months.
(B) Retirement with Company Consent
If the employment of the participant with the Company or its
subsidiaries shall terminate by reason of the participant's retirement with the
consent of the Company, the installments of such participant's stock option
shall continue to mature in the normal manner and the participant (or in the
event of his death after the date of retirement, his estate or the person who
acquires his option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of his death) shall
have the right to exercise his option until the later of (i) the date three
years after the date of such retirement or (ii) in the event that the
participant's death occurs during such three-year period the date twelve months
after the death of the participant (provided that this clause (ii) shall not
apply to incentive stock options granted prior to March 10, 1987); but in no
event later than the end of the option exercise period specified in the option.
(C) Retirement Due to Permanent Disability

Permanent Disability, the participant (or in the event of his death after the
date of retirement, his estate or the person who acquires his option by bequest
or inheritance or by reason of his death) shall have the right to exercise his
option, to the extent that he could have exercised it at the date of such
disability retirement, until the later of (i) the date twelve months after the
date of such termination of employment or (ii) in the event that the

event later than the end of the option exercise period specified in the option.
(D) Termination Due to Death
If a participant's employment by the Company and any subsidiary
terminates by reason of death, any option held by the participant may
thereafter be immediately exercised, to the extent then exercisable by his
estate or the person who acquires his option by bequest or inheritance or by
reason of his death for a period of one year from the date of such death or
until the end of the option exercise period specified in the option, whichever
period is the shorter.
(E) Miscellaneous
A participant who is absent from work with the Company or a subsidiary
because of illness or temporary disability, or who is on leave of absence for
such purpose or reason as the Committee may approve, shall not be deemed during
the period of such absence, by reason of such absence, to have ceased to be an
employee of the Company or a subsidiary. Where a cessation of employment is to
be considered a retirement with the consent of the
- 4 -
<PAGE> 5
Company or by reason of Permanent Disability for the purpose of this Plan shall
be determined by the Committee, which determination shall be final and
conclusive.
No option shall be exercisable unless at the time of exercise the
shares are covered by a currently effective registration statement filed under
the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or, in the sole
opinion of the Company and its counsel, the purchase of the shares upon
exercise of the option is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements
of that Act.
Solely with respect to options granted prior to March 10, 1987, an
option shall be exercisable only in units, consisting of one share of Class A
Common Stock and one share of Class B Common Stock.
Each participant shall be required, as a condition of exercising any
option, to make such arrangements with the Company as the Committee shall
determine for withholding (including, but not limited to, the retention of
shares by the Company or the delivery to the Company of shares, in each case
equal in fair market value as described in Paragraph 5(f) to the amount of all
or any portion of the withholding obligation pursuant to such rules as may be
prescribed by the Committee) and, in the event of the death of a participant, a
further condition of such exercise shall be the delivery to the Company of such
tax waivers and other documents as the Committee shall determine. With the
consent of the Committee, a participant may elect to have the Company retain a
number of shares otherwise issuable on exercise of an option, or to deliver
shares, in each case equal in fair market value as described in Paragraph 5(f)
to the amount of all or any portion of the participant's federal, state and
local income tax obligation resulting from such exercise determined at the
participant's maximum marginal tax rates.
(d) Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization
If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a transaction to
which Section 424(a) of the Code is applicable; (ii) the Company shall declare
a dividend payable in any class of shares, or shall subdivide or combine, its
shares; or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the
Committee necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the outstanding
options, the Committee shall forthwith take any such action as in its judgment
shall be necessary to preserve the participant's rights substantially
proportionate to the rights existing prior to such event and to the extent that
such action shall include an increase or decrease in the number of shares
subject to outstanding options, the number of shares available under Paragraph
3 above shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, proportionately.
The judgment of the Committee with respect to any matter referred to in this
Paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon each participant.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or in the event of any proposed reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which
the Company is not the surviving corporation, or in the event of a proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the principal and/or assets of the Company
to another corporation, all options granted hereunder shall terminate as of a
date to
- 5 -
<PAGE> 6
be fixed by the Committee, provided that not less than 90 days' written notice
of the date so fixed shall be given to each participant, and each participant
shall have the right during such period to exercise his option as to all or any
part of the shares covered thereby to the extent such option is then otherwise
exercisable pursuant to the provisions of this Plan and of the option; and
provided further, however, that the Board of Directors may, in their
discretion, substitute or cause to be substituted new options for each such
outstanding option, provided each such new option (i) applies to the stock of
the new employer corporation or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such
corporation, and (ii) is not more favorable to the participant than his prior
option.
(e) Nontransferability of Options
No option shall be assigned or transferable, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.
(f) Payment for Stock
The option price payable upon exercise of an option shall be payable
to the Company either (i) in cash (including check, bank draft, or money
order), (ii) by delivery to the Company of shares of either class of common
stock of the Company or a combination of common stock and cash, or (iii) to the
extent authorized by the Committee, through the written election of the
optionee to have shares of common stock withheld by the Company from the shares
otherwise to be received. The value of any common stock so delivered or
withheld shall be the fair market value of such common stock, as determined in
good faith by the Committee, on the date of the stock option exercise.
(g) Limitation on Incentive Stock Options
With respect to incentive stock options granted before January 1,
1987, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time of the grant
of such incentive stock option) of the stock covered by all incentive stock
options granted by the Company to a participant during any calendar year
(determined as of the date of their respective grants) shall not exceed
$100,000 plus any "unused limit carryover" (as hereinafter defined) to such
calendar year. If, with respect to any calendar year subsequent to 1980,
$100,000 exceeds the fair market value of the stock for which an employee has
been granted incentive stock options hereunder, an amount equal to 50 percent
of such excess shall be an unused limit carryover to each of the three
succeeding calendar years reduced by the amount of such unused limit carryover
which, after first using the $100,000 limitation to such calendar year, was
used in prior calendar years.
With respect to incentive stock options granted after December 31,
1986, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is
granted) of the stock with respect to which incentive stock options are
exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under
all such plans of the individual's employer corporation and its parent and
subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000.

6. Term of Plan
No option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after March 13, 2004.
7. Termination and Amendment of Plan
The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time amend, suspend
or terminate the Plan, except that no amendment which would (a) increase the
maximum number of shares which may be issued under options granted under this
Plan or (b) change the class of employees eligible to receive options under
this Plan or (c) change the qualifications for membership on the Committee,
shall be effective unless, within twelve months before or after the Board
adopts such amendment, it is approved by shareholders. No amendment,
suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the
participant, terminate, or adversely affect the participant's rights under, any
outstanding option.
8. Privileges of Stock Ownership
The holder of an option shall not be entitled to the privileges of
stock ownership as to any shares of the Company not actually issued to him. No
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an option until all applicable
legal requirements shall have been complied with to the satisfaction of the
Company and its counsel.
9. Time of Granting of Options
The granting of an option pursuant to this Plan shall take place at
the time the Committee makes a determination that an employee shall receive an
option.
10. Construction
Words and terms used in this Plan which are defined or used in
Sections 421, 422 or 424 of the Code shall, unless the context clearly requires
otherwise, have the meanings assigned to them therein, in the regulations
promulgated thereunder and in the decisions construing the provisions thereof.
In all other respects, this Plan shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Connecticut.
11. Provisions Relating to Change of Control
(i) Each option granted under this Plan after March
10, 1987, and each non-qualified option granted prior to this date shall, to
the extent then exercisable determined after applying Paragraph 11(ii) below,
have a limited right of surrender allowing a participant who is an Officer, or
any other participant in the discretion of the Committee, to surrender his
option within the 30-day period following the Change of Control and to receive
in cash, in lieu of exercising the option, the amount by which the fair market
value of the common stock which the option represents exceeds the option
exercise price for all or part of the shares of common stock which are subject
to the related option. For this purpose, the fair market value of common stock
shall be determined as follows:
- 7 -
<PAGE> 8
(a) if the share was a share of the Company's Class A
Common Stock, the fair market value shall be deemed to be
the closing price of one share of the Company's Class A
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on that day,
within the 60 days preceding the date on which the Change of
Control occurs, on which such closing price was the highest.
In the event that the shares are not listed or admitted to
trading on such exchange, the fair market value shall be
deemed to be the closing price of one share of the Company's
Class A Common Stock on the principal national securities
exchange on which the shares are listed or admitted to
trading, or, if the shares are not listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange, the average of
the highest reported bid and lowest reported asked prices as
furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. through the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or similar
organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such
information. If on any such date the shares are not quoted
by any such organization, the fair market value of the
shares on such date, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used; or
(b) if the share was a share of the Company's Class B
Common Stock, the fair market value shall be deemed to be
the closing price of one share of the Company's Class B
Common Stock on the New York Stock Stock Exchange on that
day, within the 60 days preceding the date on which the
Change of Control occurs, on which such closing price was
the highest. In the event that the shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on such exchange, the fair market value
shall be deemed to be the closing price of one share of the
Company's Class B Common Stock on the principal national
securities exchange on which the shares are listed or
admitted to trading, or, if the shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
average of the highest reported bid and lowest reported
asked prices as furnished by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. through NASDAQ or similar
organization if NASDAQ is no longer reporting such
information. If on any such date the shares are not quoted
by any such organization, the fair market value of the
shares on such date, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company, shall be used.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan,
in the event of a Change of Control all outstanding options which are not then
exercisable, except for incentive stock options granted on or after January 1,
1987, shall be immediately exercisable in full.
For purposes of this section the following definitions shall apply:
