NOVEMBER 29, 1994
The Board of Directors of the Company is soliciting the enclosed Proxy for

Tennessee 37229. This Proxy Statement was initially sent to stockholders on or
about October 28, 1994.
Shares represented by a Proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting as
directed if it is properly executed and delivered. In the absence of
instructions, shares represented by valid Proxies will be voted in accordance
with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth herein. At any time
prior to the voting, a Proxy may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary
of the Company or by subsequently filing another properly executed Proxy. Any
stockholder present at the meeting may vote in person even though the
stockholder may have previously given a Proxy.
The cost of solicitation of Proxies will be paid by the Company. The Company
has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to aid in the solicitation of Proxies at a
fee not expected to exceed $7,000 plus reasonable disbursements. In addition to
solicitation of Proxies by use of the mail, D.F. King & Co., Inc. and directors,

solicit Proxies personally, by telephone or by other appropriate means. The
Company will request banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees or
fiduciaries holding shares of the common stock of the Company in their names for
others to send proxy materials and annual reports to and to obtain proxies from
their principals, and the Company will reimburse them for the reasonable
expenses incurred in doing so.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The presence of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, either
represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, is necessary to constitute a
quorum for purposes of conducting business at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the
presence of a quorum for the transaction of business. With regard to the
election of directors, votes may be cast in favor of or withheld; votes that are
withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect.
Abstentions may be specified on proposals other than the election of directors

is noted. Therefore, such abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote.
Under applicable Delaware law, broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of
determining the votes cast on a proposal. To the Company's knowledge, no actions
other than those described in this Proxy Statement will be presented at the
meeting.

OTHER DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
1991 DIRECTOR INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN. The 1991 Director Incentive
Compensation Plan of MagneTek, Inc. authorizes the grant of stock appreciation
rights ("SARs") to the Company's directors. Under one part of the plan, Messrs.
Galef, Kotchian and Nevin were granted SARs at base prices reflecting stock
trading prices in 1990, when the Board of Directors initially determined to
provide performance-based compensation to directors. These grants become
effective and exercisable on specified dates if the grantee is serving as a
director on such dates. Under this part of the plan, Mr. Galef received SARs
with respect to 31,250 shares at a base price of $9.31 per share and 70,000
shares at a base price of $10.00 per share for fiscal 1992, 31,250 shares with a
base price of $9.31 per share and 35,000 shares with a base price of $10.00 per
share for fiscal 1993, 31,250 shares with a base price of $9.31 per share and
35,000 shares with a base price of $10.00 per share for fiscal 1994, and 31,250
shares with a base price of $9.31 per share for fiscal 1995. Also under this
part of the plan, each of Messrs. Kotchian and Nevin received SARs with respect
to 5,000 shares
- - ---------
(1) The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year which ends on the Sunday nearest
June 30. Accordingly, the Company's 1994 fiscal year ended on July 3, 1994
and contained 53 weeks.
5
<PAGE>
for fiscal 1992, 2,500 shares for fiscal 1993 and 2,500 shares for fiscal 1994,
all at a base price of $10.00 per share. This part of the plan was amended
during fiscal 1994 to add SAR grants to Mr. Kofmehl with respect to 11,500
shares for each of the fiscal years 1995 through 1998, all at a base price of
$14.56 per share. The other part of the plan provides that each non-employee,
non-officer director on the last day of any fiscal year ending between 1991 and
2000, inclusive, shall be granted SARs with respect to 4,000 shares with a base
price of the fair market value of the shares at grant, 1,000 of which will vest
at the end of each of the four following fiscal years, if such person remains a
non-employee, non-officer director on such date. Under this provision of the
plan, Messrs. Dean, Kofmehl, Kotchian, Nevin and Ruck were each granted SARs
with respect to 4,000 shares for fiscal 1994. Certain significant transactions
involving the Company or its stock will accelerate the granting and vesting of
all SARs then scheduled to be granted or already granted but unvested. SARs
expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable for cash only.
1991 DISCRETIONARY DIRECTOR INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN. The 1991
Discretionary Director Incentive Compensation Plan of MagneTek, Inc. authorizes
the Compensation Committee to grant SARs to the Company's non-employee directors
who are not members of the Committee. The Compensation Committee selects the
non-employee directors to whom the SARs will be granted from time to time,
determines the number of shares to be subject to such SARs and determines the
terms and conditions of such SARs, including when they become exercisable. The
base price of the shares of Common Stock subject to the SARs is also set by the
committee but may not be less than the fair market value of such shares on the
grant date. Certain significant transactions involving the company or its stock
will accelerate the vesting of all SARs then outstanding. SARs expire ten years
from the date of grant and are exercisable for cash only. In fiscal 1994, Mr.
Galef received SARs with respect to 57,500 shares at a base price of $17.56 per
share and 250,000 shares at a base price of $14.56 per share, and Mr. Ruck
received SARs with respect to 46,000 shares at a base price of $14.56 per share.

1989 INCENTIVE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
GENERAL
The Board of Directors has proposed that the stockholders approve a second
Amended and Restated 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan of MagneTek, Inc.
(the "Plan"). See "Company Proposals -- Proposal 2." The following summary of
the Plan describes it as proposed to be amended and restated.
The Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of stock
options and stock appreciation rights, as restricted or unrestricted stock or at
the end of the term of restricted stock rights to any executive, key employees
of the Company and non-employee Directors who are not members of the
Compensation Committee (except that non-employees may not be granted incentive
stock options). The Compensation Committee generally approve grants under the
Plan. Under the proposed amendment, the plan will provide that the maximum
number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may be made
under the plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously
authorized and reserved for issuance under the plan; plus (B) annual amounts
equal to 1.5% (one and one-half percent) of the total issued and outstanding
Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993; plus (C)
annual amounts equal to 3% (three percent) of the total issued and outstanding
Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal year 1994 and each full or partial
fiscal year thereafter that the Plan is in effect. Under the current plan, the
maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may
be made under the plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares
previously authorized and reserved for issuance under the plan; plus (B) annual
amounts equal to 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock of the
Company as of the last day of the fiscal year preceding each full or partial
fiscal year in which the Plan is in effect. Any unused portion of the foregoing
1,250,000 shares or the foregoing percentage limit, together with any shares
which become available due to the expiration or cancellation of options or
similar events under the plan, is carried forward and available for grant in
succeeding fiscal years. Under the proposed amendment, to ensure the future
ability to issue Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, the maximum number of
shares of stock which may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan shall not exceed the 1,250,000 shares originally authorized and
reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Options may be either incentive stock options under the Code or
non-qualified stock options. Options are exercisable for a maximum period of ten
years at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value in the
case of incentive stock options) awarded to individual owning more than 10% of
the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The exercise price may be paid in
cash or, with the consent of the Compensation Committee, with shares of Common
Stock or by means of a full recourse promissory note bearing interest and
payable on such terms as may be prescribed by the Compensation Committee. Each
option becomes exercisable at such times and in such installments as prescribed
by the Compensation Committee. Certain significant transactions involving the
Company or its stock will make the options granted under this plan exercisable
immediately. The stock options are non-transferable other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. From time to time, the Company will authorize
the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of sufficient shares to be available
upon the exercise of options or other awards under the Plan.
As of July 27, 1994, only non-qualified stock options and restricted stock
had been granted under the Plan. As of such date, options to purchase a total of
2,216,500 shares had been granted to employees of the Company and were
outstanding. Of such options, (i) Mr. Canova received 47,000, (ii) Mr. Davis
received 160,000, (iii) Mr. Dundon received 165,000, (iv) Mr. Reiland received
155,000, (v) all current executive officers as a group received 855,500, (vi)
all current directors who are not executive officers, as a group, received
263,750, and (vii) all employees who are not executive officers, as a group,
received 1,097,250. Such amounts exclude options that have been forfeited but
includes options that have been exercised.
Any amendments to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued under the Plan (except for anti-dilution adjustments), to
modify the eligibility requirements, to reduce the minimum option price for the
shares or to extend the termination date of the Plan require the approval of the
stockholders of the Company. In all other respects, the Plan can be amended,
suspended or terminated by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.
No such amendment, suspension or termination
9
<PAGE>
(including the adoption of the Plan) may, however, affect the rights or
obligations of the holders of outstanding options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock rights or performance units without the
consent of such holders.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a brief description of the federal income tax treatment
which will generally apply to awards granted under the Plan, based on federal
income tax laws in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement. The exact federal
income tax treatment of awards will depend on the specific circumstances of the
recipient. No information is provided herein with respect to estate,
inheritance, gift, state or local tax laws, although there may be certain tax
consequences upon the receipt or exercise of an award or the disposition of any
acquired shares under those laws. RECIPIENTS OF AWARDS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT
THEIR PERSONAL TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO ALL CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM THE
AWARDS.
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. Holders of non-qualified options do not
realize income as a result of the grant of the option, but normally recognize
compensation income upon exercise of the option to the extent that the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option exceeds the
aggregate option exercise price paid.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Holders of incentive stock options will not be
considered to have received taxable income upon either the grant of the option
or its exercise. Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares
received upon exercise of the option, long-term capital gain will normally be
recognized in the full amount of the difference between the amount realized and
the option exercise price if no disposition of the shares take place after at
least (i) two years from the date of grant of the option or (ii) one year from
the date of transfer of the shares to the optionee. If the shares are sold or
otherwise disposed of before the end of the one-year or two-year periods, the
difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the
shares on the date on which the option is exercised will be taxed as ordinary
income; the balance of the gain, if any, will be taxed as capital gain. If the
shares are disposed of before the expiration of the one-year or two-year periods
and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares at the
date of exercise, the employee's ordinary income is limited to the amount
realized less the option exercise price paid.
Upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the amount by which the fair
market value of the purchased shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option
exercise price will be a positive adjustment in the calculation of the
optionee's "alternative minimum taxable income" ("AMTI") in the year of
exercise. The "alternative minimum tax" imposed on individual taxpayers is
generally equal to 26% of the individual's AMTI (reduced by certain exemption
amounts) up to $175,000 and 28% of the AMTI (as so reduced) in excess of
$175,000. If the shares so acquired are disposed of in the same year, there
should be no "item of tax preference" arising from the option exercise.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. On the exercise of a stock appreciation right,
the amount which the participant is paid, whether in cash or in shares of Common
Stock (valued at their then fair market value), is generally taxable to the
participant as ordinary income.
RESTRICTED STOCK. A participant receiving an award of restricted stock will
normally not recognize income until the forfeiture restrictions with respect to
such stock expire or are removed, unless the participant makes an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code (an "83(b) Election") within 30 days after the receipt
of the restricted shares. The amount of income recognized at that time will
equal the then fair market value of the stock (less any amount paid by the
holder for the stock) and will normally be characterized as ordinary income.
If, however, the participant makes an 83(b) Election within 30 days of the
receipt of the restricted shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock received
over the amount paid by the holder for the stock, determined without regard to
forfeiture restrictions which will eventually expire. Gain or loss realized
subsequently on the sale or other disposition of such stock will normally be
taxable as capital gain or loss, respectively. If a holder of an option
10
<PAGE>
is a director, officer or stockholder subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
(an "Insider"), the timing of income recognition (including the date used to
compute the fair market value of stock) with respect to restricted stock may be
deferred until the earlier of the following two dates (the "16(b) Date"): (i)
six months after the date of grant or (ii) a disposition of the shares of Common
Stock, unless the Insider makes a valid 83(b) Election.
UNRESTRICTED STOCK. A participant receiving an award of unrestricted stock
will normally recognize ordinary income equal to the then fair market value of
the stock (less any amount paid by the holder for the stock).
RESTRICTED STOCK RIGHTS. A participant receiving an award of restricted
stock rights will normally recognize ordinary income at the time that Common
Stock is issued to such participant at the end of the term of such restricted
stock rights. The amount of income recognized will equal the then fair market
value of such stock.
PERFORMANCE UNITS. A participant receiving an award of performance units
will normally recognize ordinary income upon receipt of cash or shares of Common
Stock at the end of the performance period relating to such performance units.
If the participant receives shares of Common Stock at the end of a performance
period, the amount of income recognized will equal the then fair market value of
such shares.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY. As a general rule, the Company (or other
employer corporation) will be entitled to a deduction in the amount of the
ordinary income recognized by the participant in connection with the options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock rights,
unrestricted stock or performance units that may be awarded under the plan. The
Company (or other employer corporation) will generally be required to withhold
taxes on such income when recognized. Participants generally will not recognize
ordinary income in connection with incentive stock options provided they satisfy
the applicable post-exercise holding period; accordingly, the Company (or other
employer corporation) will generally not be able to claim a deduction with
respect to incentive stock options under the plan.
In certain instances the Company may be denied a deduction for compensation
(including compensation attributable to awards made under the Plan) to certain
officers of the Company to the extent the compensation exceeds $1 million in a
given year.
The closing sale price for Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
September 30, 1994 was $13.13. Proceeds received by the Company from the sale of
Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise under the Plan
will be used for general corporate purposes.
MISCELLANEOUS TAX ISSUES. With certain exceptions, an individual may not
deduct investment-related interest to the extent such interest exceeds the
individual's net investment income for the year. Investment interest generally
includes interest paid on indebtedness incurred to purchase shares of Common
Stock. Interest disallowed under this rule may be carried forward to and
deducted in later years, subject to the same limitations.
Special rules will apply in cases where a recipient of an award pays the
exercise or purchase price of the award or applicable withholding tax
obligations under the Plan by delivering previously owned shares of Common Stock
or by reducing the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the award.
The surrender or withholding of such shares will in certain circumstances result
in the recognition of income with respect to such shares.
The terms of the agreements pursuant to which specific awards are made to
employees under the Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or payment of an
award in connection with a change in ownership or control of the Company. In
that event and depending upon the individual circumstances of the recipient,
certain amounts with respect to such awards may constitute "excess parachute
payments" under the "golden parachute" provisions of the Code. Pursuant to these
provisions, a recipient will be subject to a 20% excise tax on any "excess
parachute payments" and the Company will be denied any deduction with respect to
such
11
<PAGE>
payment. Recipients of awards should consult their tax advisors as to whether
accelerated vesting of an award in connection with a change of ownership or
control of the Company would give rise to an excess parachute payment.
MAGNETEK FLEXCARE PLUS RETIREMENT PENSION PLAN
The MagneTek FlexCare Plus Retirement Pension Plan (the "Retirement Plan")
is a defined benefit retirement plan which covers employees of the Company
(excluding employees of certain divisions and certain union employees). The
Retirement Plan was established upon the merger of certain defined benefit
retirement plans previously maintained by the Company. Although the Retirement
Plan is a defined benefit plan, each non-union participating employee's accrued
benefit is determined by the "cash balance" credited to the employee's
retirement account. Such account is maintained for bookkeeping purposes only.
"Contribution" amounts are credited to each employee's retirement account
annually ranging from 3.5% to 4.5% of an employee's compensation up to the
"integration level" and from 7% to 9% of compensation in excess of the
"integration level" (as of January 1, 1994, compensation over $150,000 may not
be considered). The actual percentage varies depending upon years of vesting
service with the Company. The "integration level," which for calendar 1993 was
$22,500, may vary annually. "Interest," based upon the rates payable on certain
U.S. Treasury debt instruments, is also credited to the employee's bookkeeping
account each year.
Distributions are made in the event of retirement, death, disability or
other termination of employment. Distributions are paid to vested participants
in the form of a ten-year certain life annuity (unless a joint and survivor
annuity is required or an alternative form of payment is elected) in a monthly
amount equal to the balance of the employee's retirement account, divided by
120.
The estimated annual benefits payable to Messrs. Davis, Dundon and Reiland
under the Retirement Plan upon retirement at normal retirement age (in life only
form) are approximately $39,983, $118,800 and $78,738, respectively (assuming
continued compensation at the present amounts (subject to the $150,000 limit)
until normal retirement age and continued crediting of interest at the current
rate, and disregarding probable future cost-of-living increases to the limit on
the amount of compensation that may be taken into account and to the Social
Security wage base). Messrs. Galef and Canova do not participate in the plan.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
There are no interlocks between the Company and other entities involving the
Company's executive officers and directors and those of other entities.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting entirely of
non-employee directors, approves all policies under which compensation is paid
or awarded to the Company's executive officers.
GENERAL. The Company's compensation program for executive officers (except
the Chief Executive Officer, discussed below) currently consists of annual base
salary and bonus as well as awards of stock options. Salary and bonus payments
are primarily designed to reward current and past performance. Stock options are
awarded to provide incentives for superior long-term future performance as well
as for retention of executive officers. All stock option awards are made under
the 1987 Stock Option Plan or the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan, each
of which was approved by the Company's stockholders. Stock option awards are
directly linked to the stockholders' interests since the potential value of the
awards to the executive officers is directly related to the future price of the
Company's Common Stock.
The Committee's decisions concerning the base salary and total cash
compensation (base salary plus bonus) of individual executive officers during
fiscal year 1994 were made primarily in the context of executive performance in
light of the Company's circumstances, historical practice and the current
competitive environment. The Compensation Committee considered compensation data
from three principal sources: (i) data respecting manufacturing companies with
sales comparable to the Company's ("Comparable Companies"), (ii) data compiled
respecting firms the Company views as its most significant competitors and (iii)
data respecting companies with sales comparable to the Company's extracted for
the Committee's use
12
<PAGE>
by Hewitt Associates, an independent compensation consulting firm, from a
broad-based survey. The Committee found that the executive officers'
compensation levels were consistent with companies included in each of the
foregoing samples.
BONUSES. In determining the amount and form of executive officer
compensation to be paid in fiscal year 1994, the Committee considered the
extraordinary challenges and burdens engendered by the restructuring program, in
addition to performance over the most recent fiscal year. Within this framework,
for fiscal year 1994 bonuses the Committee adopted the following formula (which
may vary from year to year) at the beginning of the fiscal year for each
executive officer except Mr. Galef: (i) 25% of the individual bonus award for
the executive officer is based upon achievement of Company-wide after-tax net
income relative to the performance target developed by management and approved
by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year, (ii) 50% of the
individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon achievement of
operating profit for specific business units within the individual executive
officer's management responsibilities relative to the performance target
developed by management and approved by the Board of Directors at the beginning
of the fiscal year, (iii) 10% of the individual bonus award for the executive
officer is based upon achievement of Company-wide inventory turnover relative to
the performance target developed at the beginning of the fiscal year and (iv)
15% of the individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon
achievement of individual business objectives and performance targets for each
executive officer developed at the beginning of the fiscal year. Due to the
impact of the restructuring and to the Company's performance during fiscal 1994,
the participating executive officers generally did not achieve the individual
bonus awards based upon Company-wide performance, specific business unit
performance or inventory turnover. However, each of the participating executive
officers achieved the individual bonus award based upon individual achievement
and performance targets. A discretionary bonus was also awarded to the executive
officers based upon the Committee's qualitative judgment as to each individual
executive officer's performance in light of the significantly increased
managerial duties performed by these officers as a result of corporate
downsizing and the restructuring program.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. Mr. Galef's services as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer are provided to the Company in accordance
with the provisions of a new management agreement with The Spectrum Group, Inc.
("Spectrum"), effective as of July 1, 1994 (the "Spectrum Agreement"). Under
this agreement, Spectrum provides management services to the Company at a
current annual fee as of the end of fiscal 1994 of approximately $732,000 plus
out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Spectrum or its designee is paid an annual
management bonus in an amount to be determined by, and within the discretion of,
the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef was paid a
$177,500 bonus for services rendered during fiscal 1994. Such payment also
reflects the Committee's evaluation of Mr. Galef's personal strengths and past
performance. In prior years, a similar agreement was in effect, pursuant to
which Spectrum received $684,000 and $710,000, respectively, for fiscal 1993 and
fiscal 1992. The prior agreement provided for Spectrum or its designee to be
paid an annual management bonus equal to 50% of the highest bonus paid to any
participant in the Company's bonus plan. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef
was paid $161,000 and $150,000, respectively, for services rendered during
fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992. Mr. Galef, Chairman, President, Chief Executive
Officer and owner of Spectrum, has provided strategic management services to a
variety of companies for more than 20 years. The Board of Directors of the
Company considers the management services provided by Spectrum important to
achieving its strategy.
STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee awarded a total of 389,000 non-qualified stock
options to the executive officers during the Company's 1994 fiscal year under
the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan. In awarding these non-qualified
stock options, the Committee reviewed the number of shares previously granted to
each executive officer, as well as the aggregate awards granted to all executive
officers and associates of the Company, in light of a recent study prepared for
the Company by Hewitt Associates. The size of the individual awards is
determined with input from management and is designed to maintain
competitiveness and promote long-term productivity from the executive officers.
For a discussion of stock appreciation rights awarded to Mr. Galef in his
capacity as a Director, see "Other Director Compensation."
TAX DEDUCTIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS. The Committee has reviewed the Company's
compensation plans with regard to the deduction limitation under the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This Act
13
<PAGE>
disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual
compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for any of the Named
Officers, unless compensation is performance-based. The Committee has determined
that no portion of anticipated compensation payable to any executive officer in
1994 would be non-deductible. The Committee will continue to address this issue
when formulating compensation arrangements for executive officers, but believes
that the deductibility of officer compensation in excess of the $1 million
threshold is not likely to be an issue for the Company to address in the
foreseeable future.
The foregoing report on executive compensation is provided by the following
directors who comprise the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors:

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Effective as of July 1, 1994, the Company entered into a new management
agreement (the "Spectrum Agreement") with The Spectrum Group, Inc. ("Spectrum")
wherein Spectrum provides management services to the Company at a current annual
fee as of the end of fiscal 1994 of approximately $732,000 plus out-of-pocket
expenses. Fees paid to Spectrum by the Company during fiscal 1994 for management
services totaled $678,000, and total fees and expenses aggregated approximately
$714,000. The Spectrum Agreement
15
<PAGE>
provides for Spectrum or its designee to be paid an annual management bonus in
an amount to be determined by, and within the discretion of, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef was
paid $177,500 for services rendered during fiscal 1994. Mr. Galef, Chairman,
President, Chief Executive Officer and owner of Spectrum, has provided strategic
management services to a variety of companies for more than 20 years. The Board
of Directors of the Company considers the management services provided by
Spectrum important to achieving its present strategy.
Mr. Ruck, who is a Director of the Company, serves as a consultant to the
Company on various aspects of the Company's business and strategic issues. Mr.
Ruck is paid $1,500 per day, plus expenses, for his services. Fees paid to Mr.
Ruck by the Company during fiscal 1994 for his services totaled $145,500, and
total fees and expenses aggregated approximately $171,019.
In fiscal 1994 the Company paid $359,000 of remaining maintenance fees
associated with an aircraft which it sold in the prior fiscal year. The aircraft
was owned jointly with Spectrum until May 1993. Since the sale of the aircraft,
the Company has used a different aircraft owned by a corporation owned by Mr.
Galef. The Company paid $914,000 in fiscal 1994 for the use of such aircraft.
The Company believes that the fees paid were equivalent to those that would be
paid in an arm's-length transaction.
The Company invested approximately $1.63 million in Spectrum Portfolio
Partners, a California general partnership ("SPP") consisting of Mr. Galef, Mr.
Perna, Spectrum, the Company and two other investors. Mr. Galef is the managing
general partner of SPP. The partners other than the Company contributed, in the
aggregate, approximately $1.73 million. SPP owns a $3.4 million limited
partnership interest in a Delaware limited partnership which invests in business
enterprises and other assets in Latin America and the Caribbean. During fiscal
1994 the Company caused the foregoing limited partnership to repurchase its
interest at net asset value. The Company received proceeds of $3.9 million and
recorded a $2.2 million profit on the investment.

thereafter until their respective successors are elected and have been
qualified:

<PAGE>
nominee or any other nominee proposed by the Board of Directors unless otherwise
indicated. Shares may not be voted cumulatively for election of directors.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting
either in person or by proxy.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE
NOMINEES.
PROPOSAL 2
ADOPTION OF SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
1989 INCENTIVE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Under the existing terms of the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan (the
"Plan"), the Plan provides that the maximum number of shares as to which options
may be granted or other awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed the
sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance
under the Plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% of the total issued and
outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the last day of the fiscal year
preceding each full or partial fiscal year in which the Plan is in effect,
beginning with fiscal 1991. The Board of Directors has approved an amendment
which would provide that the maximum number of shares as to which options may be
granted or other awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of
(A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance under
the Plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% (one and one-half percent) of
the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal years
1991, 1992 and 1993; plus (C) annual amounts equal to 3% (three percent) of the
total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal year 1994
and each full or partial fiscal year thereafter that the Plan is in effect.
Management believes that adoption of the amendment will increase the Company's
ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and employees. In
addition, the proposed amendment would provide that the maximum number of shares
of stock which may be issued upon exercise of incentive stock options under the
Plan shall not exceed 1,250,000, a technical amendment to permit the award of
incentive stock options under the Plan in the future. To date, no incentive
stock options have been issued under the Plan. The revised Plan will also
contain certain other technical revisions. A copy of the revised Plan is
included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Approval of this proposal will
require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's
shares voted at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF
THE ADOPTION OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 1989 INCENTIVE STOCK
COMPENSATION PLAN.
PROPOSAL 3
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young to audit the Company's
financial statements for the fiscal year ending July 2, 1995. In accordance with
the resolution of the Board of Directors, this selection is being presented to
stockholders for ratification at this meeting. The Company has been advised that
neither Ernst & Young nor any of its partners holds any direct or indirect

available to respond to appropriate questions. Approval of this proposal will
require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's
shares voted at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy.

OF ERNST & YOUNG AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

Company shall be eligible to be granted Options, except as provided in Section
3.2 and 11.1(a).
SECTION 3.2 QUALIFICATION OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted unless such Option, when granted,

SECTION 3.3 GRANTING OF OPTIONS
(a) The Committee shall from time to time, in its absolute discretion:
(i) Determine which Employees are executive or other key Employees and
select from among the executive or other key Employees or Directors
(including those to whom Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and/or
Restricted Stock Rights have been previously granted and/or Restricted
Stock, Stock Awards and/or Performance Units have previously been issued
under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be granted Options;
and
(ii) Determine the number of shares to be subject to such Options
granted to such selected executive or other key Employees or Directors, and

Non-Qualified Options; and
(iii) Determine the terms and conditions of such Options, consistent with

ARTICLE IV
TERMS OF OPTIONS
SECTION 4.1 OPTION AGREEMENT
Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement, which
shall be executed by the Optionee and an authorized Officer of the Company and
which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine,
consistent with the Plan. Stock Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock
Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify
such Options as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code.
SECTION 4.2 OPTION PRICE
The price of the shares subject to each Option shall be set by the
Committee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the price per share for Non-Qualified
Options shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares
determined as of the date such Option is granted; (ii) the price per share for
Incentive Stock Options other than those described in clause (iii) shall be not
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares determined as of the date
such Option is granted; and (iii) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the
price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of such
shares determined as of the date such Option is granted in the case of an
individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent Corporation.
SECTION 4.3 COMMENCEMENT OF EXERCISABILITY
(a) Except as the Committee may otherwise provide, no Option may be
exercised in whole or in part during the first year after such Option is
granted.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(c) and 12.3, Options
shall become exercisable at such times and in such installments (which may be
cumulative) as the Committee shall provide in the terms of each Stock Option
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that by a resolution adopted after an Option is
granted the Committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to
be appropriate and subject to Sections 4.3(c) and 12.3, accelerate the time at
which such Option or any portion thereof may be exercised.
(c) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at Termination of
Employment shall thereafter become exercisable.
(d) To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect
to which "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the
first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other
incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and any Parent
Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Options. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking
options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of
this Section 4.3(d), the fair market value of stock shall be determined as of
the time the option with respect to such stock is granted.
SECTION 4.4 EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS
(a) No Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to
occur of the following events:
(i) The expiration of ten years from the date the Option was granted; or
A-5
<PAGE>
(ii) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee
owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the
Incentive Stock Option was granted, more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Parent Corporation, the expiration of five years from the date the Incentive
Stock Option was granted; or
(iii) Except in the case of any Optionee who is disabled (within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the expiration of three months
from the date of the Optionee's Termination of Employment for any reason
other than such Optionee's death unless the Optionee dies within said
three-month period; or
(iv) In the case of an Optionee who is disabled (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the expiration of one year from the date of
the Optionee's Termination of Employment for any reason other than such
Optionee's death unless the Optionee dies within said one-year period; or
(v) The expiration of one year from the date of the Optionee's death.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(a), the Committee shall
provide, in the terms of each Stock Option Agreement, when such Option expires
and becomes unexercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may
provide in the terms of Stock Option Agreements that Options expire immediately
upon a Termination of Employment for any reason.
SECTION 4.5 CONSIDERATION
In consideration of the granting of the Option, the Optionee shall agree, in
the written Stock Option Agreement, to remain in the employ of the Company, a
Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after the
Option is granted, or in the case of an Optionee who is a non-employee Director,
to remain a Director for such period. Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock
Option Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue
in the employ of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary or to
remain a Director or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of
the Company, its Parent Corporations and its Subsidiaries, which are hereby
expressly reserved, to discharge any Optionee at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause.
SECTION 4.6 ADJUSTMENTS IN OUTSTANDING OPTIONS
In the event that the outstanding shares of the stock subject to Options are
changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the
Company or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend or
combination of shares, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable
adjustment in the number and kind of shares as to which all outstanding Options,
or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that
after such event the Optionee's proportionate interest shall be maintained as
before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in an outstanding Option
shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the Option or the
unexercised portion of the Option (except for any change in the aggregate price
resulting from rounding-off of share quantities or prices) and with any
necessary corresponding adjustment in Option price per share; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, each such adjustment shall be made
in such manner as not to constitute a "modification" within the meaning of
Section 424(h)(3) of the Code. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall
be final and binding upon all Optionees, the Company and all other interested
persons.
SECTION 4.7 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ACQUISITION, LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION
(a) The Committee shall provide by the terms of each Option that, upon or in
connection with the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, the acquisition by another corporation or person of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets or 40% or more of the Company's then
outstanding voting stock or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company:
(i) If so provided in the relevant agreement relating to a merger,
consolidation, acquisition of assets, liquidation or dissolution, such
Option shall be either assumed or replaced by a substitute option, as
applicable, issued by the successor or Parent Corporation resulting from
such transaction, without any further action on the part of the Committee or
the Optionee.
A-6
<PAGE>
(ii) If no provision is made as set forth in (i), or in the event of an
acquisition of 40% or more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock,
such Option shall become fully exercisable for a minimum of 30 days prior to
such event.
(iii) The foregoing provisions shall have no application to a merger in
which (A) the Company is the surviving corporation, (B) no person or group
acquires 40% or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock and (C) the
shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding prior to the merger remain
outstanding thereafter.
(b) The Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and
conditions as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection
with (i) any acceleration of exercisability pursuant to subsection (a)(ii),
including, but not by way of limitation, provisions to ensure that any such
acceleration and resulting exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation
of the contemplated corporate transaction, and (ii) determinations regarding
whether provisions for assumption or substitution have been made as defined in
subsection (a)(i).
