FORMICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Formica Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or
"Formica"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Earnings per share data are not presented because the Company's
common stock is not publicly owned and since the Company is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FM Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). In the opinion of the Company,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
(2) CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). FAS
109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax
returns. In estimating future tax consequences, FAS 109 generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or
rates. Previously, the Company used the FAS 96 asset and liability approach
that gave no recognition to future events other than the recovery of assets and
settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts.
Under FAS 109, the Company recognizes to a greater degree the future tax
benefits of expenses which have been recognized in the financial statements.
The adjustments to the January 1, 1993 balance sheet to adopt FAS 109 netted to
$2,850,000. This amount is reflected in first quarter 1993 net income as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

(6) SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
For the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company paid
interest of $9.0 million and $11.3 million and income taxes of $0.2 million and
$0.7 million, respectively.
(7) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
In the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" ("FAS 106"). This statement requires the accrual of the
cost of providing postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance
coverage, during the active service of the employee. There was no effect on
the accompanying 1993 financial statements as a result of adopting FAS 106.
In accordance with the provision of this statement, postretirement benefit
information for prior years has not been restated.

FORMICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER ENDED 3-31-94 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER ENDED 3-31-93
Net sales for the first quarter of 1994 increased $4.4 million, or 4.3% as
compared with the same quarter in 1993. When adjusted for the effects of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, net sales increased $7.8 million,
or 7.5% for the quarter. Domestic net sales rose $3.5 million, or 6.2% above
the comparable 1993 period primarily due to an increase in unit volumes.
Quarterly net sales in the international segment increased by $0.9 million, or
1.9%. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, international net sales
increased $4.3 million, or 9.2%, primarily as a result of increased unit
volumes in the Company's European subsidiaries.
Cost of sales for the first quarter of 1994 increased $2.5 million, or 3.4%
over 1993. When adjusted for foreign exchange effects, cost of sales increased
$4.9 million, or 6.7%. Domestic cost of sales increased $3.2 million, or 8.1%
primarily as a result of increased unit volumes. International cost of sales
declined $0.7 million, or 1.9% for the first quarter. When adjusted for the
effects of foreign exchange, international cost of sales increased $1.7
million, or 5.1%, principally attributable to an increase in unit volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1994
increased $0.6 million, or 2.4% when compared to the same period in 1993. When
adjusted for the effects of foreign exchange, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.3 million, or 5.5%. Domestic selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 5.8%, primarily
as a result of higher distribution costs associated with the increase in unit
volumes. International selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$0.2 million, or 1.8%, as compared to the first quarter of 1993. When adjusted
for foreign exchange effects, international selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $0.5 million, or 5.2%, primarily as a result of higher
selling and distribution costs associated with increased unit volumes.
Income Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT") for the first quarter of 1994
increased $1.5 million, or 24.5%, when compared to the first quarter of 1993.
There was no material effect on EBIT for the quarter when adjusted for the
effects of foreign exchange. Domestic EBIT was approximately the same as the
first quarter of 1993. International EBIT increased $1.6 million with no
material impact due to foreign exchange. International EBIT increased
primarily as a result of the increase in net sales, primarily associated with
increased unit volumes in Europe.
The decrease of approximately $2.3 million in interest expense for the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 was primarily
attributable to the effects of lower bank debt outstanding in 1994. The income
tax benefit for the first quarter of 1994 decreased by approximately $3.0
million as compared to the first quarter of 1993, primarily as a result of a
lower pre-tax net loss.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FAS 109 (see Note 2 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). FAS 109 requires an asset and
liability approach in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
However, unlike FAS 96, FAS 109 requires an assessment, which includes
anticipating future income, in determining the likelihood of realizing deferred
tax assets. The cumulative effect of this change was a benefit to income of
$2.85 million recorded in the first quarter of 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1994 the Company's working capital was $86.5 million, representing
an increase of $9.4 million, or 12.2%, from the amount at December 31, 1993.
Exclusive of the impact of foreign currency exchange effects, the Company's
working capital increased $9.6 million, or 12.5%, from the amount at December
31, 1993. The increase in working capital was primarily due to higher
inventory balances and lower levels of accounts payable, partially offset by an
increase in short-term borrowings. The increase in inventory resulted from
management's efforts to increase quantities on hand in order to meet current
and anticipated future volume demands. The additional short-term borrowings
were used primarily to reduce accounts payable and to pay the Company's
semi-annual interest payment of $7.0 million on the 14% Senior Subordinated
Notes.
In September 1989, Formica executed revolving credit agreements with Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce, as agent, and other banks for borrowings in the
United States and by the Company's Canadian, French, Spanish and United Kingdom
subsidiaries (the "CIBC Credit Agreements"). Also, Formica's Taiwan subsidiary
entered into a new revolving credit facility with a local bank to repay
existing debt and provide for working capital requirements. Additionally, in
October 1989, Formica issued Senior Subordinated Notes ($100 million) due 1999
and Subordinated Discount Debentures ($45 million), at a discount, due 2001.
On September 27, 1993, Holdings consummated a private placement of $50 million
of 13-1/8% Accrual Debentures due September 15, 2005. Interest on the Accrual
Debentures will accrue and compound on a semi-annual basis and will be payable
in cash on September 15, 1998 in an aggregate amount of approximately $44
million. Thereafter, interest will be payable on March 15 and September 15 of
each year. Using funds received from the closing of the private placement,
Holdings made a capital contribution of $47.5 million to Formica in 1993. The
$47.5 million capital contribution was then used by the Company to pay down
debt outstanding under the CIBC Credit Agreements.
As of March 31, 1994, utilizing foreign currency exchange rates in effect at
that time, the Company had approximately $65.7 million of available and unused
principal borrowing commitments for both revolving credit and working capital
purposes over and above the $78.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the
CIBC Credit Agreements and other local bank borrowing arrangements.
Payments of principal and interest under the various debt instruments will be
the Company's largest use of funds for the foreseeable future. Funds generated
from operations and borrowings are expected to be adequate to fund the
Company's debt service obligations, capital expenditures and working capital
requirements. Borrowings under the CIBC Credit Agreements bear interest at
floating rates which averaged approximately 8.7% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1994. Formica has interest rate swap agreements outstanding at
March 31, 1994 on approximately $18.4 million of borrowings at an average
interest rate of approximately 11.9%. The average interest rate of borrowings
under the CIBC Credit Agreements for the three month period ended March 31,
1994, after taking into consideration the adverse impact of the interest rate
swap agreements, approximated 10.2%.
The Company's percentage of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt and
stockholder's equity) changed from 76.1% at December 31, 1993 to 77.3% at March
31, 1994. The Company believes that it has adequate resources from operations
and unused credit facilities to fund its operations and expected future capital
expenditures.
