NOTE D--INCOME TAXES

  The Company's estimated effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate
  because of state income taxes as well as the impact of the reporting of
  certain income and expense items in the financial statements which are not
  taxable or deductible for income tax purposes.  The values of assets and
  liabilities acquired in a transaction accounted for as a purchase are
  recorded at estimated fair values which result in an increase in the net
  asset value over the tax basis for such net assets.

NOTE E--ACCOUNTING CHANGES

  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
  of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  In accordance with this
  statement, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
  reflect the change in accounting principle.  The opening balance of
  shareholders' deficit was decreased by $1.4 million (net of $0.8 million in
  deferred income taxes) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on
  securities classified as available-for-sale previously carried at amortized
  cost or lower of cost or market.

  Insurance company management evaluated the investment portfolio and, based
  on the Insurance Subsidiary's ability and intent, has classified securities
  between the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories.  Held-to-
  maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.  Debt securities not
  classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities are
  classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are stated
  at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported
  as a separate component of shareholders' deficit.

  Following is a summary of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale  
  securities as of March 31, 1994:

  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
  112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  The adoption of
  this SFAS did not affect net income.  In accordance with this Statement,
  prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the

  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.

  $16.5 million), or $3.29 per share, during the quarter ended March 31, 1993
  to reflect the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle.  

  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.

NOTE F--CONTINGENCIES

  On February 8, 1989, the Boeing Company ("Boeing") filed a lawsuit naming
  the Company, together with three prior subsidiaries of the Company, as
  defendants in Case No. CV89-119MA, United States District Court for the
  District of Oregon.  In that lawsuit, Boeing sought damages and declaratory
  relief for past and future costs resulting from alleged groundwater
  contamination at a location in Gresham, Oregon, where the three prior
  subsidiaries of the Company formerly conducted business operations.  On
  December 22, 1993, the Company entered into a settlement with Boeing,
  settling all claims asserted by Boeing in the lawsuit.  Pursuant to the
  settlement terms, the Company will pay Boeing $12.5 million over the course
  of five years, $5 million of which has been committed by certain insurance

  companies in the form of cash or irrevocable letters of credit.  In
  accordance with the settlement agreement, Boeing's claims against the
  Company and the three former subsidiaries have been dismissed with
  prejudice and Boeing has released and indemnified the Company with respect
  to certain claims.

  On March 4, 1992, Checker received notice that the Insurance Commissioner
  of the State of California, as Conservator and Rehabilitator of Executive
  Life Insurance Company of California ("ELIC"), a limited partner of the
  Partnership, had filed an Amendment to the Application for Order of
  Conservation filed in Superior Court of the State of California for the
  County of Los Angeles (the "Court").  The amendment seeks to add to the
  Order, dated April 11, 1991, Checker, the Partnership and Checker Holding
  Corp. III ("Holding III"), a limited partner of the Partnership.  The
  amendment alleges that the action by Checker invoking provisions of the
  Partnership Agreement that alter ELIC's rights in the Partnership upon the
  occurrence of certain events is improper and constitutes an impermissible
  forfeiture of ELIC's interest in the Partnership and a breach of fiduciary
  duty to ELIC.  The amendment seeks (a) a declaration of the rights of the
  parties in the Partnership and (b) damages in an unspecified amount.  The
  Partnership believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims of
  ELIC.  On April 15, 1994, the Company and the Conservator entered into a
  letter agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase ELIC's
  interest in the Partnership for $37 million, subject to completion of the
  refinancing described under the caption, "Item 2--Management's Discussion
  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."  The letter
  agreement has been submitted to the Court for approval.

GENERAL
     
     From the time that present management assumed control of the Company in
January 1989, it has been continually reassessing the Company's financial
condition and prospects.  During March 1990, Great Dane obtained a loan
commitment of $80 million.  A substantial portion of the loan proceeds was
utilized to repurchase, in the open market, a portion of the Company's
outstanding 12-3/4% Senior Debentures due 2001 (the "12-3/4% Debentures") and
Subordinated Discount Debentures due January 1, 2006 (the 14-1/2%
Debentures").  During September 1992, the Partnership entered into a Loan and
Security agreement with a bank pursuant to which the bank provided a $30
million term loan.  Approximately $18 million of the proceeds from the loan
was used to repay certain indebtedness of a subsidiary of Checker, which debt
had been guaranteed by the Partnership, and to pay certain costs associated
with the financing and repayments.

     The Company was hampered in its efforts to achieve a refinancing of its
debt in recent years, in part because of the Boeing litigation.  That lawsuit
has now been settled.  The Company has also been engaged in litigation with
the Conservator of ELIC, a limited partner in the Partnership, seeking, among
other things, a declaratory judgment regarding ELIC's rights in the
Partnership.  

     With the settlement of the Boeing litigation and negotiations in
progress to settle the ELIC litigation, the ability of the Company to achieve
a successful refinancing has been enhanced.  Accordingly, in February 1994,
the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with an overall refinancing of the
Company's outstanding indebtedness.  The proposed refinancing, as described
in the registration statement, involves the Company entering into a credit
facility consisting of a $50 million (adjusted from $60 million) term loan
and a revolving credit facility which would provide up to $115 million,
subject to the Company's ability to meet certain financial tests (the term
loan and the revolving credit facility being known as the "New Credit
Facility").  Additionally, the Company is proposing to offer $265 million
(adjusted from $225 million) of new Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior
Notes").  If the refinancing is successfully completed, the proceeds from the
New Credit Facility would be utilized to redeem substantially all of the
currently outstanding indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries and the
proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes would be used to redeem parent
company indebtedness and to redeem the Minority Interest held by ELIC in the
Partnership, in each case together with any accrued interest and transaction
fees and expenses.  A successful completion of the refinancing, the terms of
which are still subject to change, is expected to help the Company achieve
increased liquidity from reduced principal debt amortization requirements,
the removal of certain restrictions on the use of cash from the Company's
subsidiaries and more flexible and efficient cash management at the holding
company level.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations
and proceeds from disposal of assets have provided sufficient liquidity and
capital resources for the Company to conduct its operations.

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED
                 INTERNATIONAL CONTROLS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


     The Company's Great Dane Subsidiary's debt agreement with certain banks
matures in March 1995.  Accordingly, this debt is classified as a current
liability at March 31, 1994.  Refinancing is anticipated to be accomplished
prior to maturity and, accordingly, it is not anticipated that working
capital will be adversely affected.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  While
the adoption of this SFAS has a significant effect on the Company's financial
position, it does not adversely affect liquidity and capital resources.

     The Company is a holding company and is, therefore, dependent on cash
flow from its subsidiaries in order to meet its obligations.

     Purchases of property, plant and equipment have averaged approximately
$18.0 million per year over the past three years and have been funded
principally by cash flow generated from operations as well as proceeds from
disposal of assets.  Purchases of property, plant and equipment for 1994 are
anticipated to be approximately $26.0 million and are expected to be funded
principally by cash flow generated from operations.

     During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company entered into a settlement
of the Boeing litigation.  It is anticipated that the settlement ($12.5
million over five years) will be paid by the Company through recoveries from
insurance carriers, the sale of assets of certain of the subsidiaries, cash
currently on hand and cash flow generated from operations.

     General Motors Corporation ("GM"), a major customer of the Company's
automotive products segment, is resorting to many measures, including
obtaining significant price reductions from its suppliers, in an effort to
reduce its operating costs.  Management of the Company's automotive products
segment is currently engaged in discussions with GM concerning future pricing
of parts presently being manufactured.  Automotive products segment
management believes that it has adequately provided in its near-term
financial plans for any price reductions which may result from its current
discussions with GM.  However, price reductions in excess of those
anticipated could have a material adverse effect on the automotive products
operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                       Three Months Ended March 31, 1994,
                 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1993
               -------------------------------------------------

     Revenues increased $66.7 million during the three months ended March 31,
1994, as compared to the same period of 1993.  The higher revenues are
principally attributed to higher Trailer Manufacturing revenues ($61.4
million), primarily associated with a higher volume of sales of containers
and chassis and trailers.  Automotive Products revenues increased $3.6
million during the three months ended March 31, 1994, as compared to the same
period in 1993.  General increases in volume to accommodate automotive
customers' demands were the principal reason for the revenue increases.

                 INTERNATIONAL CONTROLS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


     The Company's operating profit (gross profit less selling, general and
administrative expenses) increased $10.1 million in the 1994 period compared
to the 1993 period.  This increase is attributed to an increase of Trailer
Manufacturing operating profits ($9.2 million) which is principally due to
higher sales and improved margins and an increase of Automotive Products
operating profits ($0.9 million) principally due to higher sales.  

     Income tax expense is higher for financial statement purposes than would
be computed if the statutory rate were used because of state income taxes and
the impact of the reporting of certain income and expense items in the
financial statements which are not taxable or deductible for income tax
purposes.
