PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General--
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1912 and
incorporated in 1915. The Company manufactures and markets a variety of
products and systems that provide specific, problem-solving solutions for a
diverse customer base worldwide. The Company has more than 300 operations in
34 countries. The Company's business units are divided into two segments:
Engineered Components, and Industrial Systems and Consumables. Products in the
Company's Engineered Components segment include short lead-time plastic and
metal components, fasteners and assemblies; industrial fluids and adhesives;
fastening tools and welding products. Industrial Systems and Consumables'
products include longer lead-time systems and related consumables for consumer
and industrial packaging; marking, labeling and identification systems;
industrial spray coating equipment and systems; and quality assurance
equipment and systems.
In the first quarter of 1993, the Company acquired the Miller Group Ltd., a
manufacturer of arc welding equipment, through an exchange of ITW voting
Common Stock for all of the voting Common Stock of Miller. As a result, the
acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests in conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, specifically paragraphs 46
through 48 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 16. Accordingly,
the results of operations have been included in the Statement of Income as of
the beginning of 1993. The impact of Miller on consolidated operating
revenues, net income and net income per share for 1993 and 1992 was not
significant. Therefore, the 1992 financial statements have not been restated
to reflect the acquisition of Miller.
In early 1996, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Hobart
Brothers Company ("Hobart") in exchange for shares of ITW voting common stock.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests in accordance
with APB No. 16. For the two months ended February 29, 1996, combined
operating revenues for the Company and Hobart were $731,843,000 and combined
net income was $60,511,000.
During the five-year period ending December 31, 1995, the Company acquired
and disposed of numerous operations, none of which individually had a material
impact on consolidated results.
Current Year Developments--
Refer to pages 20 through 22, Management's Discussion and Analysis, in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
Financial Information about Industry Segments--
The percentage contributions to operating revenues for the last three years
by industry segment are as follows:

Operating results of the segments are described on pages 20, 21 and 26 of the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
Backlog--
Backlog generally is not considered a significant factor in the Company's
businesses as relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover
are characteristic of many of its products.
The following summarizes backlog by industry segment as of December 31, 1995
and 1994:
<TABLE>

1994...................................... $199,000 $156,000 $355,000
</TABLE>
Backlog orders scheduled for shipment beyond calendar year 1996 were not
material in either industry segment as of December 31, 1995.
The following information is equally applicable to both industry segments of
the business unless otherwise noted:
Competition--
The Company's global competitive environment is complex because of the wide
diversity of products the Company manufactures and the markets it serves.
Depending on the product or market, the Company may compete with few other
companies or with many firms, some of which may be the Company's own licensees.
The Company is a leading producer of plastic and metal fastening components
and assemblies; adhesives and fluids; packaging systems and related
consumables; finishing and static control systems and products; quality
measurement equipment; tooling for specialty applications; and arc welding
equipment and related systems.
Raw Materials--
The Company uses raw materials of various types, primarily metals and
plastics that are available from numerous commercial sources. The availability
of materials and energy has not resulted in any business interruptions or other
major problems, nor are any such problems anticipated.
3
<PAGE>
Research and Development--
The Company's growth has resulted from developing new and improved products,
broadening the application of established products, continuing efforts to
improve and develop new methods, processes and equipment, and from
acquisitions. Many new products are designed to reduce customers' costs by
eliminating steps in their manufacturing processes, reducing the number of
parts in an assembly, or by improving the quality of customers' assembled
products. Typically, the development of such products is accomplished by
working closely with customers on specific applications. Identifiable research
and development costs are set forth on page 27 of the Company's 1995 Annual
Report to Stockholders.
The Company owns approximately 1,664 unexpired United States patents covering
articles, methods and machines. Many counterparts of these patents have also
been obtained in various foreign countries. In addition, the Company has
approximately 395 applications for patents pending in the United States Patent
Office, but there is no assurance that any patent will be issued. The Company
maintains an active patent department for the administration of patents and
processing of patent applications.
The Company licenses some of its patents to other companies, from which the
Company collects royalties. The Company believes that many of its patents are
valuable and important. Nevertheless, the Company credits its leadership in the
markets it serves to engineering capability; manufacturing techniques, skills
and efficiency; marketing and sales promotion; and service and delivery of
quality products to its customers.
Trademarks--
Many of the Company's products are sold under various trademarks owned or
licensed by the Company. Among the most significant are: ITW, Signode, Apex,
Buildex, Deltar, Devcon, DeVilbiss, Fastex, Hi-Cone, Hobart, Keps, Magnaflux,
Miller, Minigrip, Newtec, Oxo, Paktron, Paslode, Powcon, Ramset, Ransburg, Red
Head, Shakeproof, Teks, Tenax and Zip-Pak.
Environmental Protection--
The Company believes that its plants and equipment are in substantial
compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Additional measures to
maintain compliance are not expected to materially affect the Company's capital
expenditures, competitive position, financial position or results of
operations.
Various legislative and administrative regulations concerning environmental
issues have become effective or are under consideration in many parts of the
world relating to manufacturing processes, and the sale or use of certain
products. To date, such developments have not had a substantial adverse impact
on the Company's sales or earnings. The Company has made considerable efforts
to develop and sell environmentally compatible products resulting in new and
expanding marketing opportunities.
Employees--
The Company employed approximately 21,200 persons as of December 31, 1995 and
considers its employee relations to be excellent.
International--
The Company's international operations include subsidiaries, joint ventures
and licensees in 34 countries on six continents. These operations serve such
markets as automotive, food and beverage, construction, general industrial,
industrial capital goods and others on a worldwide basis. The Company's
international subsidiaries contributed approximately 38% and 36% of operating
revenues in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Refer to pages 20 through 22 in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to
Stockholders for additional information on international activities.
International operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting
4
<PAGE>
business in foreign countries, including price controls, exchange controls,
limitations on participation in local enterprises, nationalization,
expropriation and other governmental action, and changes in currency exchange
rates.

officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for
this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or
participates in the meeting of the Board or committee thereof which authorizes

for such purpose, if:
(a) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
SECTION 1. NON-DERIVATIVE ACTIONS AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. To
the extent permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect, the
corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 2. DERIVATIVE ACTIONS. The corporation shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
-16-
<PAGE>
SECTION 3. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that a
Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to

therein, he shall be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.
SECTION 4. WHERE NO ADJUDICATION. Any indemnification under
Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in said Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made (i) by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable and a quorum of disinterested Directors
so directs, by independent legal counsel (compensated by the corporation) in a
written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the
Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation as authorized in this Article.
SECTION 6. NON-EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification provided by this
Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director,
officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 7. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under the provisions of this Article or of applicable
law.

Exhibit 10(j)
Directors' Compensation
Compensation for non-employee directors has three components, the first being
paid in cash and the remaining two being tied to the Company's common stock.
First, a $25,000 annual retainer is paid, together with an attendance fee of
$1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting and committee meeting. (Committee
Chairmen receive an additional $600 for each meeting chaired.) The Company's
deferred fee plan permits non-employee directors to defer receipt of all or any
part of their fees. Amounts deferred are credited with interest at current rates
and are paid after an individual ceases to be a director.
Second, since 1992 the directors' compensation plan has linked a portion of
their compensation directly with the interest of the stockholders. In 1995
incumbent non-officer directors received 900 shares of the Company's Common
Stock pursuant to a restricted stock grant program. One-third of these shares
vested on January 2, 1996 and the remaining two-thirds will vest equally on the
first business day of 1997 and 1998, except that all shares vest on the date of
death or retirement. The 300 shares that vested on January 2, 1996 were worth
$17,663 on such date. Under the program a non-officer director who joins the
Board between January 3, 1995 and January 2, 1998 will receive on the first
business day of January following election a grant of 300 shares for each full
year of service remaining during such period. The shares granted to the
directors pursuant to this program are included in the table under "Security
Ownership," as are shares under the 1992 program.
Third, the Company adopted in 1995 a phantom stock plan for non-officer
directors which grants to each such director 1,000 units of phantom stock. Each
unit is equal in value to the market value of one share of the Company's common
stock. The phantom stock account is credited with additional units in an amount
equivalent to dividends on the Company's Common Stock and is adjusted for any
stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar changes. (Certain long-
term directors with short remaining service periods until retirement received a
higher number.) The phantom stock units granted to eligible directors pursuant
to this plan are included in the table under Security Ownership. A director is
eligible for a cash distribution from his or her phantom stock account at
retirement or approved resignation in the form of a lump sum or up to ten annual
installments as elected by the director at the time of grant. In addition, the
value of each director's phantom stock account will be distributed immediately
to the director in the event of a corporate change of control, as defined in
"Proposal to Approve 1996 Stock Incentive Plan."
In 1995 the Company discontinued its directors' retirement plan for incumbent
and future non-officer directors. Each of the eight surviving non-officer
directors who retired prior to 1995 will continue to receive an annual payment
during his lifetime equal to one-half of the annual retainer paid at retirement
so long as such director serves the Company in an advisory capacity and refrains
from any activity adverse to the best interests of the Company.
Harold B. Smith has entered into a one-year agreement with the Company
providing for a consulting fee of $85,000. After his retirement from the Company
on March 31, 1995, H. Richard Crowther served on a transitional basis until June
30, 1995 at a retainer of $5,000 per month.

EXHIBIT 13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
Illinois Tool Works Inc. is a multinational manufacturer of highly engineered
components and industrial systems with two business segments: Engineered
Components, and Industrial Systems and Consumables. These segments are
described below.
Overall, the Company believes that the majority of the increase in operating
revenues is due to higher sales volume rather than increased sales prices.
Engineered Components Segment
Businesses in this segment manufacture short lead-time plastic and metal
components, fasteners and assemblies; industrial fluids and adhesives;
fastening tools and welding products. This segment primarily serves the
construction, automotive and general industrial markets.

</TABLE>
Domestic
Successful penetration in the automotive markets largely contributed to the
increased domestic revenues in 1995 compared with 1994. Miller Electric's
revenue growth from welding equipment and accessories was attributable to new
product introductions and a stronger U.S. economy. The construction businesses
also contributed to revenue growth due to increased distribution efficiency,
continued penetration with new products and a steady commercial construction
market throughout the year. Operating income and margins were up due to a
reduction of manufacturing costs and revenue growth in the construction
businesses and revenue growth in the automotive businesses.
In 1994, the automotive businesses contributed to the growth in domestic
revenues compared with 1993 as a result of improved penetration with the "Big
Three" automotive companies and a stronger domestic car market. Construction
markets were stronger in 1994 versus 1993 which resulted in increased sales
volume. Operating income and margins increased primarily due to revenue gains in
both the automotive and construction businesses. Miller also contributed to the
overall improved financial performance due to strengthening welding markets and
cost reductions.
International
Strong performance in the European automotive markets in 1995 resulted in
increased international revenues and operating income versus 1994. Revenue
growth was moderated due to soft Australian and German construction markets.
Operating income and margins increased as a result of volume gains in the
European automotive businesses, partially offset by lower operating income in
the international construction businesses as a result of lower revenues.
Foreign currency fluctuations in 1995 versus 1994 increased revenues by $51
million and operating income by $8 million. Seventy-seven percent of
international revenues are from European operations.
The European automotive businesses mainly contributed to the international
revenue growth in 1994 over 1993 due to increased market penetration and an 11%
increase in European car builds for the year. Operating income and margins in
1994 were higher versus 1993 primarily due to the increase in sales volume
coupled with improved productivity in the automotive operations. Significant
cost reductions and product mix in the European construction markets also
contributed to operating income and margin growth.
Industrial Systems and Consumables Segment
Businesses in this segment manufacture longer lead-time systems and related
consumables for consumer and industrial packaging; marking, labeling and
identification systems; industrial spray coating equipment and systems; and
quality assurance equipment and systems. The largest markets served by this
segment are general industrial, food and beverage, and industrial capital goods.

Domestic
Stronger demand in 1995 for industrial packaging products and increased market
penetration in the beverage markets for the consumer packaging businesses
resulted in an increase in domestic revenues and operating income compared with
1994. Approximately 50% of the increase in domestic revenues was attributed to
1995 acquisitions, primarily in the consumer packaging and finishing systems
groups. New products for the finishing systems operations resulted in higher
revenues but lower margins as a result of product mix. The industrial packaging
businesses' margins increased due to process improvements and new product
introductions.
Domestic revenues, operating income and margins increased in 1994 versus 1993
due to improved results in the industrial packaging and the finishing systems
businesses as a result of new product introductions and higher sales volume.
The quality measurement businesses, which serve the capital goods markets,
slightly moderated operating income growth.
International
In 1995, international industrial packaging businesses led in the revenue and
operating income growth followed by the consumer packaging operations.
Acquisitions accounted for approximately 40% of the revenue growth, mainly in
the industrial packaging businesses. The finishing systems businesses showed
continued growth as well due to market share gains in the European automotive
and general industrial markets and increased revenue in the Japanese market.
Margins increased due to new product introductions and cost reductions for the
industrial packaging businesses and European finishing systems operations.
Foreign currencies also increased revenues by $65 million and operating income
by $8 million. Seventy-eight percent of international revenues are from
European operations.
International revenue growth in 1994 versus 1993 was primarily due to higher
sales in the industrial packaging businesses. The consumer packaging group also
contributed to the revenue growth as beverage markets picked up in Europe.
While the industrial packaging businesses showed revenue growth in operating
income and margins declined due to price relief given to customers during the
soft economic period in Europe. The decline in operating income and margins for
the industrial packaging businesses was more than offset by improved
profitability in the finishing systems operations related to new products and
cost reductions.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of Revenues as a percentage of revenues was 65.4% in 1995 compared with
66.2% in 1994 and 67.2% in 1993. The decreases in 1995 and 1994 versus the
previous years were due to increased sales volume coupled with finding new, more
efficient manufacturing methods.
Selling, Administrative and R&D Expenses
Selling, administrative, and research and development expenses were 18.7% of
revenues in 1995 versus 19.3% in 1994 and 20.2% in 1993. This ratio continues to
decline because of expense reductions as a result of a Company-wide objective to
reduce administrative costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $31.6 million in 1995, versus $26.9 million in
1994, primarily due to debt assumed from acquisitions. Interest expense
declined in 1994 from $35.0 million in 1993 mainly as a result of reduced
commercial paper and foreign borrowings.
Other Income
Other income increased to $28.8 million in 1995 versus $1.9 million in 1994 and
$1.4 million in 1993. The increased income in 1995 versus the prior years is
primarily due to an increase in investment and interest income.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 37.9% in 1995, 38.3% in 1994 and 38.5% in 1993. See
the Provision for Income Taxes footnote for a reconciliation of the Federal
statutory rate to the effective tax rate. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was adopted in 1993 and had no
material impact on earnings.
Net Income
Net income in 1995 of $387.6 million ($3.29 per share) was 39.5% higher than the
1994 net income of $277.8 million($2.45 per share). Net income for 1994 was
34.5% higher than 1993 net income of $206.6 million ($1.83 per share).

<PAGE>
Foreign Currency
The weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in 1995 (primarily
European currencies) resulted in increased operating revenues of $116 million
and increased net income per share of approximately 10 cents per share. Foreign
currency fluctuations had no material impact on revenues or earnings in 1994
versus 1993.
As the Company and its subsidiaries do not have significant assets or
liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies, no
material transactions to hedge foreign currency exposures occurred in 1995,
1994, or 1993.

Net working capital at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
The increase in trade receivables at December 31, 1995 was primarily due to
higher operating revenues in the fourth quarter of 1995 versus 1994 and 1995
acquisitions. Inventories increased $79.5 million in 1995 mainly as a result of
acquisitions.
Short-term debt increased at December 31, 1995, primarily due to increased
short-term commercial paper borrowings of $93.7 million. Accounts payable and
accrued expenses increased at December 31, 1995 versus year-end 1994 due to
overall business growth and acquisitions.
Long-term debt at December 31, 1995 consisted of $125 million of 7.5% notes,$125
million of 5.875% notes, a $256 million nonrecourse 6.28% note,$75 million of
commercial paper borrowings and $43 million of capitalized lease obligations and
other debt. Long-term debt increased $343 million from December 31, 1994,
principally as a result of the issuance of the 6.28% note and commercial paper
borrowings during 1995. The percentage of total debt to total capitalization
increased to 29.2% at December 31, 1995 from 18.1% at December 31, 1994.
Stockholders' equity was $1.924 billion at December 31, 1995 compared with
$1.542 billion at December 31, 1994. Affecting equity were earnings of $388
million, dividends declared of $75 million, the effect of pooling of interests
acquisitions of $43 million and favorable currency translation adjustments of
$15 million, primarily related to stronger European currencies.
The Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 is

</TABLE>
Net cash provided by operating activities of $437 million in 1995 was primarily
used for acquistions, for additions to plant and equipment and for cash
dividends. Net cash generated by operations in 1994 of $387 million was used
mainly for repayment of commercial paper borrowings, for additions to plant and
equipment and for cash dividends. Commercial paper borrowings in 1995 were
primarily used to fund investment purchases and acquisitions.
Dividends paid per share increased 14.8% to $.62 per share in 1995 from $.54 in
1994. The Company expects to continue to meet its dividend payout objective of
25-30% of the average of the last three years' net income.
Management continues to believe that internally generated funds will be adequate
to service existing debt and maintain appropriate debt to total capitalization
and earnings to fixed charge ratios. Internally generated funds are also
expected to be adequate to finance internal growth, small-to-medium sized
acquisitions and additional investments. The Company has additional debt
capacity to fund larger acquisitions.
The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31,
1995 or 1994.
The Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of, will not have a material effect on the financial statements.
The Company anticipates that its leasing and investments business may become
significant enough to begin reporting as a separate segment in 1996.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors of
Illinois Tool Works Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, income
reinvested in the business and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Illinois Tool Works Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Comments and Associated Schedules in this section furnish additional
information on items in the financial statements. The comments have been
arranged in the same order as the related items appear in the statements.
Illinois Tool Works Inc. ("the Company") is a multinational manufacturer of
highly engineered components and industrial systems. The Company primarily
serves the construction, automotive and general industrial markets.
Significant accounting principles and policies of the Company are highlighted
in italics. Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to
conform with current year reporting.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
the comments on financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consolidation and Translation-The financial statements include the Company and
its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated from the financial statements. Substantially all of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries have November 30 fiscal year-ends to facilitate inclusion
of their financial statements in the December 31 financial statements.
Foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars
at end-of-period exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average
rates for the period. Translation adjustments are not included in income but
are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industry Segment and Geographic Information -The Company's operations are
divided into two segments: Engineered Components, and Industrial Systems and
Consumables. See Management's Discussion and Analysis for a description of the
segments and information regarding operating revenues and operating income.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in
1995, 1994 or 1993. Export sales from the United States were less than 10% of
total operating revenues during these years.
Additional segment and geographic information for 1995,1994 and 1993 was as
follows:

Acquisitions and Dispositions - During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company acquired
and disposed of numerous operations which did not materially affect consolidated
results.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation was $126,900,000 in 1995 compared with $109,805,000 in 1994 and
$109,852,000 in 1993 and was reflected primarily in operating costs.
Depreciation of plant and equipment for financial reporting purposes is computed
principally on an accelerated basis. Equipment leased to others is depreciated
over the noncancelable period of the related lease.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research and Development Costs are recorded as expense in the year incurred.
These costs were $52,700,000 in 1995, $48,700,000 in 1994, and $47,200,000 in
1993.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental Expense was $36,120,000 in 1995, $29,720,000 in 1994 and $30,550,000
in 1993.

The Provision for Income Taxes - Effective January 1, 1993, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes, using the current-year recognition approach. The adoption of
SFAS No. 109 had no material impact on the Company's results of operations in
1993.
SFAS No. 109 utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects
of differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities
given the provisions of the enacted tax laws.
The components of the provision for income taxes were as shown below:

Deferred U.S. Federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not
been provided on approximately $489,900,000 of undistributed earnings of
international affiliates as of December 31, 1995. In the event these earnings
were distributed to the Company, Federal income taxes payable would be reduced
by foreign tax credits based on income tax laws and circumstances at the time of
distribution. The net tax effect would not be expected to be material. The
components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1995

No valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax asset at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 as the Company expects to continue to generate
significant taxable income in future years.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $135,400,000 available to offset future taxable income in certain
foreign jurisdictions which expire as follows:

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock is computed on the basis of the average
number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of shares of
common stock subject to issuance under stock option plans are excluded from the
computation since the effect is not material. The average number of shares
outstanding was 117,989,000, 113,387,000 and 112,979,000 for 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

Cash and Equivalents included interest-bearing deposits of $40,021,000 at
December 31, 1995 and $18,702,000 at December 31, 1994. lnterest-bearing
deposits have maturities of 90 days or less and are stated at cost, which
approximates market.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trade Receivables as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were net of allowances for
uncollectible accounts of $23,500,000 and $19,600,000, respectively.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material,
labor and factory overhead. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used to
determine the cost of the inventories of the majority of domestic operations.
Inventories priced at LIFO were 39% and 43% of total inventories as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used
for all other inventories. Under the FIFO method, which approximates current
cost, total inventories would have been approximately $42,300,000 and
$40,700,000 higher than reported at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals
and improvements that increase the useful life of plant and equipment are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The range of useful lives used to depreciate plant and equipment is as follows:
Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment 3 - 12 years
Equipment leased to others Term of lease

In the first quarter of 1995, the Company exchanged preferred stock of a
subsidiary of $40,000,000 for investments in mortgage-backed securities of
$32,000,000 and corporate debt securities of $8,000,000 in a noncash
transaction. The preferred stock was subsequently redeemed for $40,000,000 cash
in the fourth quarter of 1995. The mortgage-backed securities of $27,815,000 at
December 31, 1995 are recorded at fair value which approximates cost and are
classified as available-for-sale securities.
In December 1995, the Company acquired a pool of mortgage-related assets in
exchange for a nonrecourse note payable of $256,000,000, preferred stock of a
subsidiary of $20,000,000 and cash of $80,000,000. The mortgage-related assets
relate to commercial real estate located throughout the U.S. and include 26
subperforming, variable rate, balloon loans and five foreclosed properties. In
conjunction with this transaction, the Company simultaneously entered into a
ten-year swap agreement and other related agreements whereby the Company will
pay a third party the portion of the interest and net operating cash flow from
the mortgage-related assets in excess of $9,000,000 per year and a portion
(estimated to be $197,000,000 at December 31, 1995) of the proceeds from the
disposition of the mortgage-related assets and principal repayments, in exchange
for the third party making payments to the Company equal to the contractual
principal and interest payments on the nonrecourse note payable. In addition, in
the event that the pool of mortgage-related assets does not generate income of
$9,000,000 a year, the Company has a collateral right against the cash flow
generated by a separate pool of mortgage-related assets (owned by a third party
in which the Company has a minimal interest) which currently has a fair value of
approximately $719,000,000. The Company entered into the swap and other related
agreements in order to reduce its credit and interest rate risks relative to the
mortgage-related assets. The Company expects to recover its net investment in
the mortgage-related assets and net swap receivable of $100,000,000 (net of the
related nonrecourse note payable) through its expected net cash flow of
$9,000,000 per year for ten years and its estimated share of the proceeds from
disposition of the mortgage-related assets and principal repayments of
$118,000,000.
The Company evaluates whether the mortgage loans have been impaired by reviewing
the discounted estimated future cash flows of the loans versus the carrying
value of the loans. If the carrying value exceeds the discounted cash flows, an
impairment loss would be recognized through income. The estimated fair value of
the commercial mortgage loans and properties, based on discounted future cash
flows, approximates cost at December 31, 1995. The net swap receivable is
recorded at fair value, based on the estimated future cash flows discounted at
the current market interest rate. Any adjustments to the carrying value of the
net swap receivable due to changes in expected future cash flows or interest
rates are recorded through income.
The Company's investment in leveraged and direct financing leases relates to
equipment used primarily in the transportation, mining and paper processing
industries.
The components of the investment in leveraged and direct financing leases at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as shown below:

Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of
purchased businesses. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
15 to 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill
and the other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that such assets may be impaired by reviewing the sufficiency of future
undiscounted cash flows of the related entity to cover the amortization or
depreciation over the remaining useful life of the asset. For any long-lived
assets which are determined to be impaired, a loss would be recognized for the
difference between the carrying value and the fair value for assets to be held
or the net realizable value for assets to be disposed of. This policy is
consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
of.
Amortization expense was $16,335,000 in 1995, $14,031,000 in 1994, and
$13,268,000 in 1993. Accumulated goodwill amortization was $100,242,000 and
$79,672,000, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Retirement Plans - The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans
covering the majority of domestic employees. The Company's contributions to
these plans were $9,900,000 in 1995, $8,400,000 in 1994 and $6,900,000 in 1993.
The Company provides the majority of its employees with pension benefits. The
Company's principal domestic plan provides benefits based on years of service
and compensation levels during the latter years of employment. Other domestic
and foreign plans provide benefits similar to the principal domestic plan.
Subject to the limitation on deductibility imposed by Federal income tax
laws, the Company's policy has been to contribute funds to the plans annually in
amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued
benefits. No contributions to the principal plan were made in 1995, 1994 or
1993. Contributions to international and other domestic plans were minimal in
1995, 1994 and 1993. Domestic plan assets consist primarily of listed common
stocks and debt securities.

Postretirement Health Care Benefits- The Company provides health care benefits
to the majority of domestic employees and their covered dependents. Generally,
employees who have reached age 55 and rendered 10 years of service are eligible
for these benefits, which are subject to retiree contributions, deductibles,
copayment provisions and other limitations.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions. This standard requires that the expected cost of
health care benefits be charged to expense during the service lives of employees
rather than the cash basis method previously used. The Company has elected to
amortize the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) of
$145,500,000 as of January 1, 1993 over 20 years.
A one-percentage point increase in the health care cost trend rate would
increase the APBO as of December 31, 1995 by approximately $13,698,000 and the
sum of the 1995 annual service and interest cost by approximately $1,597,000.
The costs of postretirement health care benefits under SFAS No. 106 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as shown below:

In 1991, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 7.5% notes due December 1, 1998
at 99.892% of face value. The notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to
maturity. The effective interest rate of the notes is 7.6%.
In 1993, the Company issued $125,000,000 of 5.875% notes due March 1, 2000 at
99.744% of face value. The notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to
maturity. The effective interest rate of the notes is 5.9%.
The quoted market prices of the 7.5% and 5.875% notes exceeded the carrying
values by approximately $6,000,000 at December 31, 1995, and were less than the
carrying values by approximately $14,000,000 at December 31, 1994.
In December 1995, the Company issued a $256,000,000 6.28% note at face value.
The note has a nonrecourse provision relative to the commercial mortgage loans
and properties and the net swap receivable, which are included in investments.
In 1992, the Company entered into a $300,000,000 revolving credit facility
(RCF) expiring on August 14, 1997, which provides for borrowing under a number
of options and which may be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's
option. In July 1994, the Company canceled $150,000,000 of the RCF. In August
1995, the Company entered into another RCF for $175,000,000 expiring on August
21, 1996, which provides for borrowings under a number of options and which may
be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's option. There were no
amounts outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 1995.
Each RCF contains financial covenants establishing a maximum total debt to
total capitalization percentage and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth.
The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 1995.
Commercial paper is issued at a discount and generally matures 30 to 90 days
from the date of issue. The Company maintains unused commitments under the RCF's
equal to any commercial paper borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on
commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 1995 was 5.85%. No commercial paper
was outstanding at December 31, 1994.
The commercial paper balance expected to remain outstanding beyond one year
has been classified as long-term in the accompanying Statement of Financial
Position, reflecting the Company's intent and ability to finance the borrowings
on a long-term basis. The remaining commercial paper balance has been classified
as short-term.

(1) The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at
0% and at the 5% and 10% rates set by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. They are therefore not intended to forecast possible future
appreciation, if any, of the Company's Common Stock price and reflect
neither the income tax liability of the individual recipients nor the time
value of money. The Company did not use
8
<PAGE>
an alternative formula for a grant date valuation as the Company is not
aware of any formula which will determine with reasonable accuracy a
present value based on future unknown or volatile factors.
(2) These grants become exercisable as to 25% of the shares underlying the
options on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant, and are
generally fully exercisable after the first anniversary in the event of
retirement, disability or death. A restorative option right as described
under the section "Proposal to Approve 1996 Stock Incentive Plan" applies
to these grants so long as the option holder is employed by the Company.
(3) Based on Mr. Nichols' planned retirement on May 3, 1996 and the program's
current three year exercise period after retirement.

RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company's principal non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers
employees of participating business units. Executive Officers participate in
this plan on the same basis as do approximately 10,000 other eligible
employees. Benefit amounts are based on years of service and average monthly
compensation for the five highest consecutive years out of the last ten years
of employment. The following table illustrates the maximum estimated annual
benefits to be paid upon normal retirement at age 65 to individuals in
specified compensation and years of service classifications. The table does
not reflect the limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on
benefit accruals under the Pension Plan. Under a plan adopted by the Board of
Directors, supplemental payments in excess of those limitations will be made
to participants designated by the Compensation Committee in order to maintain
benefits upon retirement at the levels provided under the Pension Plan's
formula.
