NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("Company"; "KCSI") and its subsidiary
companies as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
2. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year 1996.
3. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared consistently with accounting principles described more fully in Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
As a result of the public offering of DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), formerly a
wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, and associated
transactions completed in November 1995, the Company's ownership percentage in
DST was reduced to approximately 41% (subsequently reduced to 40% in first
quarter 1996). Accordingly, the Company's investment in DST was accounted for
under the equity method of accounting for the year ended December 31, 1995
retroactive to January 1, 1995. The DST public offering and associated
transactions are described more fully in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
The accumulation of the 1996 first quarter and second quarter Primary Earnings
per Common Share do not total the Primary Earnings per Common Share for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 as a result of repurchases of Company common shares
during 1996.
4. The Company's inventories ($38.8 million at June 30, 1996 and $39.8
million at December 31, 1995) primarily consist of material and supplies
related to rail transportation. Other components of inventories are immaterial.
5. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and certain other investments
accounted for under the equity method of accounting include all entities in
which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence but not more
than 50% control. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates at June 30, 1996
include equity interests in DST and Mexrail, Inc., as well as the Company's
interests in other companies. DST has a Stockholders' Rights Agreement, which
includes provisions providing that under certain circumstances following a
"change in control" of KCSI, as defined in DST's Stockholders' Rights
Agreement, substantial dilution of the Company's interest in DST could result.

short-term liquid investments with a maturity of generally three months or less
to be cash equivalents.

Income taxes paid 88.3 5.0
</TABLE>
The Company's income taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996
increased from the comparable prior year period due to the payment of federal
and state income taxes resulting from the DST initial public offering
transactions, which occurred in fourth quarter 1995.
b. Noncash Investing and Financing Activities:
The Company accrued a liability for the donation of 300,000 shares of DST
common stock ($2.7 million book value) to a charitable trust in December 1995.
These shares were delivered to the charitable trust in January 1996, resulting
in a reduction in the Company's investment in DST and associated liabilities.
Company subsidiaries and affiliates hold various investments which are
accounted for as "available for sale" securities as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." The Company records its proportionate share of
any unrealized gains or losses related to these investments, net of taxes, in
stockholders' equity. The unrealized gain, net of taxes, related to these
investments increased $3.3 million from December 31, 1995.
In first quarter 1996, the Company issued approximately 101,500 shares of KCSI
common stock under the eighth offering of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
These shares, totaling a purchase price of approximately $5.9 million, were
subscribed and paid for through employee payroll deductions in 1994 and 1995.
During the first six months of 1995, the Company recorded expenses of $2.3
million related to its Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). These charges,
which were noncash in nature, had the effect of decreasing retained earnings
and ESOP deferred compensation with no overall effect upon stockholders'
equity.
7. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") effective January 1, 1996. The new statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill, as well as for long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles which are to be disposed. The adoption of
SFAS 121 did not have an impact on the Company's 1996 results of operations or
financial condition.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 8
8. During 1995, the Company entered into a forward stock purchase contract
("contract") as a means of securing a potentially favorable price for the
repurchase of its common stock. In the second quarter of 1996, the Company
purchased 400,000 shares under this arrangement. As of June 30, 1996, the
contract allows the Company to purchase from a financial institution an
additional 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock over various time
periods at a price which includes an escalating transaction premium.
Additionally, the contract contains provisions which allow the Company to elect
a net cash or net share settlement in lieu of physical settlement of the
shares.
As of July 31, 1996, the contracted aggregate price (including transaction
premium) exceeded quoted market prices of the Company's common stock. However,
as contract settlement dates occur, the various settlement alternatives will be
evaluated given existing business and market conditions in order to maximize
benefits to the Company. The transaction will be recorded in the Company's
financial statements upon settlement of the contract. The contract is
described more fully in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
9. On April 17, 1996, the Company filed Amendment No. 2 to its Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 33-69648) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), registering $500 million in securities. The SEC declared
the Registration Statement effective April 22, 1996; however, no securities
have been issued.
10. The Company has had no significant changes in its outstanding litigation or
other contingencies from that previously reported in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
11. See the Recent Developments section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for significant
transactions and events that will have an impact on the Company's future
results of operations and financial position.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Form 10-Q,
contains forward-looking comments. Such comments are based upon information
currently available to management and management's perception thereof as of the
date of this Form 10-Q. Actual results of the Company's operations could
materially differ from those forward-looking comments. The differences could
be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not
limited to, those factors identified in Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Readers should take these
factors into account in evaluating any such forward-looking comments.
Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("Company"; "KCSI"), a Delaware
Corporation organized in 1962, is a diversified holding company with principal
operations in rail transportation, through its subsidiary The Kansas City
Southern Railway Company, and Financial Asset Management businesses. The
Company supplies its various subsidiaries with managerial, legal, tax,
financial and accounting services, in addition to managing other
"non-operating" and more passive investments.
The Company's business activities by industry segment and principal subsidiary
companies are:
The Kansas City Southern Railway Company - The Kansas City Southern Railway
Company ("KCSR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, operates a Class I Common Carrier
Railroad system. Also included in this segment is Carland, Inc. ("Carland"),
which leases various types of equipment including railroad rolling stock,
roadway maintenance equipment and vehicles. Carland's principal customer is
KCSR.
Financial Asset Management - Management of investments for mutual funds,
private and other accounts through Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus"), an 83%
owned subsidiary, and Berger Associates, Inc. ("Berger"), an 80% owned
subsidiary.
Corporate & Other - Equity in earnings in unconsolidated affiliates, primarily
DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), a 40% owned affiliate, and Mexrail, Inc. (a 49%
owned affiliate); unallocated holding company expenses; intercompany
eliminations; and other consolidated subsidiaries, including, among others,
Pabtex, Inc., Trans-Serve, Inc. and Southern Leasing Corporation.
As more fully described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial state-
ments included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Company and DST completed a public offering of DST
common stock and associated transactions in November 1995, resulting in a
reduction in the Company's ownership percentage of DST to approximately 41%
(subsequently reduced to 40% in first quarter 1996). Accordingly, the
Company's investment in DST was accounted for under the equity method of
accounting for the year ended December 31, 1995 retroactive to January 1, 1995.
<PAGE> 10
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Railroad Consolidation and Competition - On July 3, 1996, the Surface
Transportation Board ("STB") granted oral approval for the merger between the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads("UP/SP merger"), with limited
conditions attached to the proposed merger. The formal order of the STB is
expected to be issued August 12, 1996.
The UP/SP merger continues the recent railroad industry trend of consolidation.
Since 1994, significant consolidations have occurred between Burlington
Northern, Inc./Santa Fe Pacific Corporation ("BN/SF") and Union Pacific/Chicago
and North Western Transportation Company ("UP/CNW").
As these consolidations have only recently been completed, the Company cannot
predict their ultimate effect on KCSR. However, the Company believes that
revenues are being negatively affected by increased competition from the BN/SF
and UP/CNW consolidations as a result of diversions of rail traffic away from
KCSR lines. When taken together with the UP/SP merger, management believes
that the recent railroad consolidations will negatively impact KCSR revenues by
approximately $25 million to $50 million annually given current operating
conditions and traffic patterns.
Panama Railroad Concession - On July 1, 1996, the Panamanian government
notified the Company that it had been awarded the exclusive concession to
operate the Panama Railroad Company, subject to execution of a definitive
agreement by the parties. The current route of the Panama Railroad runs
parallel to the Panama Canal. The Company is in the process of evaluating
the various alternatives available with respect to the concession.
Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana - In June 1996, the Company and
Transportacion Maritima Mexicana announced the formation of Transportacion
Ferroviaria Mexicana ("TFM"). TFM's purpose is to participate in the bidding
process for one or more of the concessions to be offered in the Mexican Rail
privatization.
Union Labor Negotiations - As of July 23, 1996, the Company effectively settled
labor contract disputes with all major railroad unions, including, among
others, the United Transportation Union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the Transportation Communications International Union, the
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, and the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The provisions of these agreements, which
extend to December 31, 1999, generally include periodic general wage increases
and lump-sum payments to workers. Settlement of these labor issues effectively
mitigates the possibility of any potential work stoppage and did not result in
a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
financial position.
DST's Investment in Continuum - On August 1, 1996, The Continuum Company, Inc.
("Continuum"), a DST unconsolidated equity affiliate, merged with Computer
Sciences Corporation ("CSC") in a tax-free share exchange. In exchange for its
approximate 23% ownership interest in Continuum, DST received approximately 4.3
million shares (representing a 6% interest) of CSC common stock.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11
DST expects to recognize a one time gain (after recognition of deferred taxes
and other related charges) of approximately $130 million on the transaction, of
which the Company will recognize an amount proportionate to its ownership
interest in DST. Additionally, Continuum will cease to be an equity affiliate
of DST, thereby eliminating any future Continuum equity affiliate earnings.
DST recognized $3.6 million in equity earnings from Continuum in 1995. The
loss of Continuum earnings will not be material to the Company's consolidated
results.
Common Stock Repurchases - The Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has
authorized management to repurchase a total of eleven million shares of KCSI
common stock. As of July 31, 1996, the Company had repurchased approximately
6.8 million shares. An additional 1.6 million are available for repurchase
through a financial institution at contract prices as disclosed in Note 8 to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Berger Joint Venture - Berger signed a joint venture agreement with Bank of
Ireland Asset Management (U.S.) Limited, a subsidiary of Bank of Ireland, to
launch a series of international and global mutual funds. The new venture is
called BBOI Worldwide LLC and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The first
no-load mutual fund product, an international equity fund, is expected to be
launched in third quarter 1996.
Leasing Joint Venture - The Company signed a letter of intent to form a joint
venture with GATX Capital Corporation to perform certain leasing and financing
activities. The transaction is anticipated to be closed by the end of third
quarter 1996, subject to completion of a definitive agreement.
Upon formation of the joint venture and associated transactions, the Company
anticipates an approximate $200 million reduction of Company consolidated
indebtedness. The Company intends to report the new joint venture as an equity
investment.

The Company reported second quarter 1996 earnings of $22.4 million ($.57 per
share) compared to $8.5 million ($.19 per share) in second quarter 1995.
Consolidated second quarter 1996 revenues rose 10% to $206.9 million compared
to second quarter 1995 chiefly from increases in assets under management at
Janus and Berger. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased 114% (to $45.7 million), largely as a result of unusual costs and
expenses in 1995 at KCSR and other Company subsidiaries related to employee
separations, unusual system operating difficulties, and reserves for contracts,
leases and property, which decreased earnings by $.39 and $.44 per share for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. Also, 1996
operating income benefited from a lower proportionate growth in Financial Asset
Management operating expenses as compared to revenues. Exclusive of these
unusual costs and expenses, operating income would have declined 13% in second
quarter 1996 versus comparable 1995. This decline resulted from increases in
various operating expenses in the KCSR and Corporate & Other segments exceeding
the operating income improvements in the Financial Asset Management segment.
Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996
decreased approximately 12% on lower average debt balances in 1996 (from
repayment of lines of credit in late 1995 using proceeds from the DST initial
public offering).
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, earnings were $42.3 million ($1.06 per
share) versus $35.9 million ($.80 per share) in comparable 1995. Year to date
1996 consolidated revenues were $408.2 million versus $378.0 million for the
same period in 1995, reflecting growth in assets under management in the
Financial Asset Management segment. Operating expenses in the first half of
1996 increased slightly (2%) to $322.0 million. Exclusive of unusual costs and
expenses in 1995, discussed above, operating income for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 would have decreased approximately 11%, primarily from increased
costs at KCSR. Year to date 1996 equity earnings decreased 55% to $8.4
million, mainly because of reduced equity earnings from DST due to a lower KCSI
ownership interest in 1996 (approximately 40% throughout the first half of 1996
versus 100% in the same period in 1995). Interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was 19% lower than 1995 as a result of lower average debt
balances in 1996 as discussed above.

The Kansas City Southern Railway Company segment contributed $2.3 million to the
<PAGE> 13
Company's second quarter 1996 results versus a loss of $8.4 million in second
quarter 1995. Revenues of $121.6 million were slightly lower than 1995, while
operating income increased by $17.7 million, principally due to approximately
$29.9 million (pretax) of second quarter 1995 unusual costs and expenses
discussed earlier.
Second quarter 1996 KCSR unit coal revenues decreased 3% from comparable 1995
as a result of a temporary shut-down, for most of second quarter 1996, of an
electric generating plant in Mossville, Louisiana served by KCSR, partially
offset by the resumption of shipments to another electric generating plant (at
Monticello, Texas), and increased tonnage at other plants. General commodities
revenues were also down slightly from second quarter 1995. KCSR's grain, farm
and food products business unit experienced a 15% reduction in carloadings due
to an expected decline in export grain traffic, traffic diversions resulting
from the Union Pacific/Chicago and North Western and Burlington Northern/Santa
Fe mergers, and weaker harvest conditions. These grain carloading declines
were offset somewhat by a 3% carloading increase in the chemicals and
petroleum products business unit. Despite a generally weak intermodal market,
second quarter 1996 intermodal carloadings increased 7% over comparable 1995.
As discussed previously, KCSR second quarter 1996 costs and expenses decreased
from comparable 1995 due to unusual costs and expenses in 1995. Exclusive of
the unusual items in 1995, costs and expenses were 10% higher in second quarter
1996 as a result of approximately $3.0 million in costs associated with two
train derailments and higher salaries and wages associated with accruals for
new labor agreements.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, The Kansas City Southern Railway
Company segment contributed $4.3 million to KCSI's consolidated results versus
a loss of $100,000 in comparable 1995. Year to date 1996 revenues of $244.9
million were slightly lower than 1995, while operating income increased 30% to
$30.0 million. Increases of 4% and 3% in unit coal and intermodal revenues,
respectively, over 1995 were substantially offset by reduced general
commodities revenues, particularly in the area of export grain traffic. A
portion of the decline in export grain was expected as discussed above;
however, additional declines occurred because of the poor weather-related
harvest conditions, thereby focusing markets on domestic needs.
Exclusive of unusual costs and expenses in 1995, year to date 1996 operating
income would have been 47% lower than comparable 1995, primarily from higher
costs and expenses attributable to adverse winter weather (in first quarter
1996), higher salaries and wages (increased crew levels in first quarter 1996
and accruals for new labor agreements), train derailment expenses and KCSR's
continuing emphasis on providing improved and reliable customer service.
Additionally, year to date 1996 depreciation and amortization expense increased
8% from 1995 because of capital expenditures.

Financial Asset Management contributed $17.3 million to KCSI's 1996 second
quarter consolidated results, an increase of 56% over second quarter 1995.
Assets under management have risen 24% since December 31, 1995, leading to a
$21.2 million increase in revenues. Operating expenses rose only 25%, however,
fueling a 54% increase in operating income over second quarter 1995. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, Financial Asset Management contributed $30.0
million to KCSI consolidated results compared to $17.4 million for the same
period in 1995. Additionally, year to date 1996 revenues and operating income
increased 33% and 66%, respectively, from the six months ended June 30, 1995.
These increases are indicative of growth in assets under management from
favorable product performance in a strong overall financial market and
stabilized operating expenses.
Assets under management continued to grow as year to date 1996 fund sales (net
of redemptions) of $4.1 billion, coupled with market appreciation, raised total
assets to $42.8 billion at June 30, 1996 ($39.1 billion at Janus; $3.7
billion at Berger). Shareowner accounts increased 6% from December 31, 1995,
surpassing 2.6 million accounts at June 30, 1996. Janus continues to report
strong product performance (assets under management increased $8.0 billion from
December 31, 1995), in part because 21 out of 30 (separately tracked) Janus
fund products ranked in the first quartile when compared to their respective
peer categories based on a rolling one-year product performance through
June 30, 1996 (using data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.). Berger's
newer product offerings, The Berger Small Company Growth Fund and The Berger
New Generation Fund, have both performed well, each reporting growth in assets
under management during the first half of 1996. However, The Berger One
Hundred Fund and The Berger Growth and Income Fund, Berger's largest products
in terms of assets under management, have performed below their respective peer
groups, and their assets under management have decreased 3% since December 31,
1995. The lower than expected performance of these latter two funds resulted
in essentially break-even earnings from Berger during the first half of 1996.
The revenue increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
partially offset by increased operating expenses associated with higher
business volumes, as well as higher Janus salaries and wages as a result of
achieving improved results. However, year to date 1996 Janus marketing and
promotional expenses were $4.7 million (or 29%) lower than prior year thereby
increasing year to date 1996 operating income.
<PAGE> 15
Depreciation and amortization costs for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 were lower than comparable 1995 periods due to reduced asset-based
depreciation at Janus. The reduced depreciation was offset somewhat by
increased intangible amortization associated with a $23.9 million payment made
in May 1996 pursuant to the Berger Stock Purchase Agreement, which has been
reflected as an adjustment to the purchase price (as described more fully in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995).

Corporate & Other contributed $2.8 million to the Company's second quarter 1996
results, down from the $5.8 million reported in the equivalent prior period.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, Corporate & Other earnings were $8.0
million versus $18.6 million in comparable 1995. DST, an approximate 40% KCSI
equity investment, provided $5.0 million in equity earnings for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 (slightly lower than second quarter 1995) and $6.9
million for year to date 1996 versus $18.3 million in the same period in 1995.
All of DST's earnings are included in KCSI's 1995 results as DST was a
consolidated subsidiary of KCSI until the initial public offering of DST common
stock in October 1995. Comparisons of DST earnings in 1996 versus 1995 are
affected by the first quarter 1995 one time after-tax gain of $4.7 million
associated with DST's sale of its investment in Investors Fiduciary Trust
Company and the first quarter 1996 effect of a $4.1 million non-recurring
charge related to DST's equity investment, Continuum (as previously disclosed).
Exclusive of these items, DST earnings increased in 1996 as a result of several
factors, including, among others, increased mutual fund shareowner accounts
serviced and lower interest costs.
Corporate & Other results were also affected by the following:
i) higher KCSI holding company expenses due to the Company's efforts relative
to the Mexican railroad privatization process and the Union
Pacific/Southern Pacific proposed merger, which totaled (after-tax) $2.4
million ($.06 per share) and $3.1 million ($.08 per share) for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively;
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 16
ii) a $1.8 million (67%) decrease in Pabtex, Inc. earnings for year to date
1996 as a result of an expected loss of a major customer in December 1995;
iii) a one time after-tax gain of approximately $1.7 million ($.04 per share in
second quarter and year to date 1996) on the sale of KCSI's interest in
Midland Data Systems, Inc. and Midland Loan Services, L.P. in second
quarter 1996;
iv) higher 1995 KCSI holding company interest income, principally from
advances to DST throughout the first half of 1995; and
v) a decrease of $6.0 million in interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from comparable 1995 due to lower average debt balances in
1996 as discussed earlier.
TRENDS AND OUTLOOK
The Company reported earnings of $.57 per share for second quarter 1996 as
compared to $.19 per share in second quarter 1995. Excluding the unusual costs
and expenses discussed previously, second quarter 1995 earnings would have been
$.58 per share. Year to date 1996 earnings of $1.06 per share exceeded the
$.80 per share in comparable 1995 (which included $.44 per share attributable
to unusual items). KCSR's second quarter 1996 results were adversely affected
by derailment related costs and reduced export grain carloadings. The
Financial Asset Management segment experienced growth in assets under
management and revenues, resulting in a 72% increase in its contribution to
year to date 1996 KCSI consolidated results over comparable 1995. Corporate &
Other reported decreased earnings for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 versus 1995 due primarily to reduced equity earnings from DST and
increased costs as discussed previously.
A current outlook for the Company's core businesses for the remainder of 1996
is as follows (refer to the first paragraph of "Overview" section of this
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, regarding forward-looking comments):
i) The Kansas City Southern Railway Company - General commodities and
intermodal traffic are somewhat dependent on economic trends in the
geographic region served by KCSR, as evidenced by the decline in export
grain carloadings discussed earlier. Based on anticipated traffic levels,
including consideration of recent rail mergers, revenues are expected to be
relatively flat during the last six months of 1996. Costs and expenses
should generally stabilize during the second half of 1996, with any
significant growth attributable to increased business volumes.
ii) Financial Asset Management - Future growth will be largely dependent on
prevailing financial market conditions, relative performance of Janus' and
Berger's products, introduction and market reception of new products, as
well as other factors. Costs and expenses should continue at operating
levels consistent with the rate of growth, if any, in revenues.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 17
iii) Corporate & Other - The Company expects any earnings in this segment to
derive largely from its equity ownership in DST. As a result of
Continuum's merger with CSC on August 1, 1996, DST expects to recognize a
one time gain of approximately $130 million (of which the Company will
recognize an amount proportionate to its ownership interest in DST), but
will no longer record equity earnings in Continuum. The results of other
KCSI subsidiaries are expected to remain relatively consistent with
historical performance, except for Pabtex, Inc., which will experience
decreased earnings from prior year as a result of the loss of a key
customer, as disclosed previously.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Summary cash flow data is as follows (in millions):

</TABLE>
During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash position
decreased from $31.8 million at December 31, 1995 to $10.7 million at June 30,
1996. The decreased cash position was caused primarily by reduced operating
cash flows and cash used for property/investment acquisitions and Company
common stock repurchases, offset partially by proceeds from borrowings under
the Company's lines of credit. Operating cash flows for the first half of 1996
decreased significantly compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease was
chiefly attributable to a special dividend of $150 million paid by DST to the
Company in May 1995 and a decrease in accrued liabilities in 1996, reflecting
the payment of approximately $74 million in federal and state income taxes
resulting from the taxable gains associated with the DST public stock offering
completed in November 1995.
Investing activities for the first six months in 1996 were comprised primarily
of KCSR road property additions, Carland rolling stock acquisitions and the
additional investment in Berger discussed earlier. Financing cash flows were
generated through borrowings under credit lines in excess of repayments. Debt
proceeds were primarily used for the repurchase of $84.8 million in Company
common stock in connection with a stock repurchase program authorized by the
Company's Board of Directors, the additional investment in Berger, and working
capital purposes (including the payment of federal and state income taxes
associated with the DST public offering as discussed above).
Cash flows from operations are expected to increase during the remainder of
1996 from positive operating income, which has historically resulted in
favorable cash flows. Investing activities will continue to use significant
amounts of cash. Future roadway improvement projects are expected to be funded
by KCSR operating cash flow. In connection with the expanded stock repurchase
program authorized by the Company's Board of Directors in May 1996, repurchases
of KCSI common stock may be made throughout 1996 based on prevailing market
conditions, and liquidity and capital resource alternatives.
<PAGE> 18
In addition to operating cash flows, the Company has available financing
arrangements at subsidiary levels, remaining credit of $265 million at June 30,
1996 from the Company's $400 million credit agreement, and $500 million with
respect to a Universal Shelf Registration Statement ("Registration Statement")
filed in September 1993 and most recently amended in April 1996. The
Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement
effective on April 22, 1996; however, no securities have been issued. The
Company believes its operating cash flows and available financing resources are
sufficient to fund working capital and other requirements for the remainder of
1996, as well as other potential business opportunities that the Company is
currently pursuing.
The Company's debt ratio (debt as a percent of total debt plus equity) at June
30, 1996 was 55.0% compared to 48.1% at December 31, 1995. Company
consolidated debt increased $167.7 million from December 31, 1995 (to $811.9
million at June 30, 1996) as a result of borrowings for repurchases of Company
common stock, income tax payments, additional investment in Berger and working
capital purposes. Consolidated equity decreased in 1996 due to the repurchase
of $84.8 million in Company common stock, partially offset by year to date 1996
net income. This decrease in consolidated equity, together with the increase
in consolidated debt, resulted in an increased debt ratio.
