PART I
Item 1. Business
The Andersons Management Corp. (The "Corporation") was formed in
August 1987, principally for the purpose of providing management services
to The Andersons, a partnership (the "Partnership") and to act as the
Partnership's sole General Partner. The Corporation began operations in
1988 when it completed an offering of its Class A and Class B Common
Shares, transferred $500,000 of offering proceeds to the Partnership as its
capital investment, and became the sole General Partner of the Partnership.
Ownership of the Corporation's Class A and Class B Common Shares is
restricted to limited partners of The Andersons.
The Corporation provides all management services to the Partnership
pursuant to a Management Agreement entered into between the Partnership and
the Corporation. The fee paid to the Corporation for its services is an
amount equal to (a) the salaries and cost of all employee benefits, and
other normal employee costs, paid or accrued on behalf of the Corporation's
employees who furnish services to the Partnership, (b) reimbursable
expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with its services to the
Partnership, or on the Partnership's behalf, and (c) an amount equal to
$5,000 for each 1% of return on partners' capital up to a 15% annual return
on partners' capital, plus $7,500 for each 1% of return on partners'
capital between 15% and 25%, plus $10,000 for each 1% of return on
partners' capital greater than a 25% annual return to cover that part of
the Corporation's general overhead which is attributable to Partnership
services and to provide an element of profit to the Corporation. In
addition to the fee payable to the Corporation, the Management Agreement
also provides for certain other customary terms and conditions, including
termination rights, and requires the Corporation to make its books and
records available to the Partnership for inspection at reasonable times.
Business and Properties of the Partnership
The Partnership is engaged in grain merchandising and operates grain
elevator facilities located in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. The
Partnership is also engaged in the distribution of agricultural supplies
such as fertilizers, seeds and farm supplies; the operation of retail
general stores; the production, distribution and marketing of lawn care
products and corncob products and repairing and leasing of rail cars.
For more complete information as to the Partnership's business and
properties, and other information regarding the Partnership's operations,
reference is made to the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1993 (the "Partnership Form 10-K"), which is filed as an
exhibit hereto through incorporation by reference.
Item 2. Properties
The Corporation leases an office building located in Maumee, Ohio

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation had cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments of approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992.
The largest component of the Corporation's working capital was a receivable
from the Partnership. This receivable represents the costs incurred by the
Corporation in providing management and labor services to the Partnership
but not yet paid by the Corporation and therefore not yet collected from
the Partnership. The Corporation has no short-term or long-term debt.
During 1993, the Corporation offered Class A and Class B Common Shares and
received $11,141 under that offering. Class A and Class B Common Shares
redeemed during 1993 totalled $23,697. Management believes, given the
relationship between the Corporation and the Partnership whereby the
Corporation is reimbursed by the Partnership for its cost in providing
management and labor services to the Partnership, and given the
Corporation's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment of $1.3
million, that the Corporation's liquidity is adequate to meet both
short-term and long-term needs.
Results of Operations
Years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992:
Net income in 1993 was $146,399, or $31.66 per Class A Common Share,
compared to $9,083, or $1.96 per share in 1992. Income earned by the
Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $51,398 in 1993 and
the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's
return on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was up $175,185.
These increases are a result of the improved 1993 operating results of the
Partnership and an increase in reimbursable expenses. Federal income tax
expense was up due to the increase in income.
During 1993 the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions." The Corporation elected to recognize the accrued benefits
earned by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation)
prospectively, which means this cost will be recognized as a component of
the net periodic postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately
20 years. The effect of adopting the new rules increased the 1993 net
periodic postretiement benefit cost by approximately $850,000 and is
expected to increase future postretirement benefit costs by a like amount.
This cost was included in the management fee charged to the Partnership in
1993 and, therefore, had no impact on the operating results of the
Corporation. Also during 1993, as a result of lower prevailing interest
rates, the Corporation decreased the discount rate used to determine its
projected benefit obligation for its pension plan and for its postretirment
health care benefits. The change in the discount rate, from 8% to 7.5%, is
expected to increase these benefit costs in future years by approximately
$365,000. Because the Corporation charges all employee benefit costs to
the Partnership as part of the management fee, the change in the discount
rate will not impact the future operating results of the Corporation.
Years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991:
Net income in 1992 was $9,083, or $1.96 per Class A Common Share,
compared to $24,680, or $5.38 per share in 1991. Income earned by the
Corporation on its investment in the Partnership was up $59,498 in 1992 and
the management fee earned by the Corporation based on the Partnership's
return on equity and rent and other reimbursable expenses was also up, both
due to the improved 1992 operating results of the Partnership. Interest
earned and other income decreased by $132,549, due to a 50% decrease in
rental income and due to lower interest rates. The rental income decrease
was a result of lower occupancy of outside tenants in the office building
leased by the Corporation to the Partnership and to outside tenants.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report of Independent Auditors
Shareholders
The Andersons Management Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Andersons Management
Corp. as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of
income, cash flows, and changes in shareholders' equity for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included
the financial statement schedules listed in the index at Item 14(a). These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of The Andersons
Management Corp. at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information
set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, in 1993 the Corporation
changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1993
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Equivalents: The Corporation considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Income Taxes: Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its
method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the
liability method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The impact of this change was not
significant.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting and income tax purposes. Temporary differences relating to costs
and expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership are passed on to the
Partnership through offsetting differences in the recognition of management
fees by the Corporation. Deferred tax assets of the Corporation relate
primarily to temporary differences associated with the Corporations' share
of Partnership net income and amounted to $17,000 and $19,900 at December
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Taxes paid during 1993 and 1991 amounted to $5,000 and $31,000,
respectively, and tax refunds amounted to $5,900 in 1992.
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock: Net income per share of Common Stock
is computed based on the weighted average number of Class A Common Shares
outstanding during the year. See Note 4.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1992 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the 1993 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on net income.
2. Investment in The Andersons
The Corporation is the sole general partner of The Andersons (the
Partnership). As sole general partner, the Corporation provides all
management and labor services required by the Partnership in its
operations. In exchange for providing management services the Corporation
charges the Partnership a management fee equal to: a) the salaries and
cost of all employee benefits and other normal employee costs, paid or
accrued for services performed by the Corporation's employees on behalf of
the Partnership, b) reimbursable expenses incurred by the Corporation in
connection with its services to the Partnership, or on the Partnership's
behalf, and c) an amount based on an achieved level of return on partners'
invested capital of the Partnership to cover the Corporation's general
overhead and to provide an element of profit to the Corporation.
The Corporation leases an office building under a lease that commenced on
May 1, 1990. The Corporation is required to pay annual lease payments of
$731,209 through 2000. The Corporation charges the Partnership rent for
the space utilized in its operations, which amounted to $529,982, $516,344
and $498,699 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The Partnership generally pays the Corporation for salaries and employee
benefits as those costs are paid by the Corporation. Amounts due from the
Partnership relating to postretirement benefits that will not be received
within one year have been classified as a noncurrent asset.
The components of the management fee and rent charged by the Corporation to
the Partnership consisted of the following:
Year ended December 31

Costs and expenses:
Salaries and wages $47,706,731 $43,356,247 $41,103,580

Total management fees $63,107,331 $57,388,268 $55,357,599
3. Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation sponsors several employee benefit programs which include the
following: Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Retirement Savings Investment Plan,
Cash Profit Sharing Plan, Management Performance Program and health insurance
benefits.
Substantially all permanent employees are covered by the Corporation's Defined
Benefit Pension Plan. The benefits are based on the employee's highest five
consecutive years of compensation during their last ten years of service. The
Corporation's policy is to pay into trusteed funds each year an amount equal
to the annual pension expense calculated under the Entry Age Normal method.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized
in the Corporation's balance sheets as of December 31, 1993 and 1992.
1993 1992
Accumulated benefit obligation, including
vested benefits of $4,815,512 in 1993
and $3,536,273 in 1992 $5,159,779 $3,852,363
Projected benefit obligation for service
rendered to date $ 8,222,470 $ 7,454,556
Plan assets at fair value 6,568,985 5,664,926
Projected benefit obligation in excess
of plan assets 1,653,485 1,789,630
Unrecognized net asset at adoption of
FAS 87, net of amortization 243,817 294,296
Unrecognized net gain (loss) 530,128 (158,736)
Prior service cost (147,663) (168,739)
Net pension liability recognized in
balance sheet (includes current portion
of $645,966 in 1993) $ 2,279,767 $ 1,756,451
Net periodic pension cost includes the following components:
Year ended December 31
1993 1992 1991
Service cost - benefits earned
during the period $ 1,135,948 $ 1,088,099 $ 1,020,119
Interest cost on projected
benefit obligation 571,278 461,896 362,838
Return on plan assets (493,623) (331,498) (578,665)
Net amortization and deferral 10,420 (32,317) 326,270
Net periodic pension cost $ 1,224,023 $ 1,186,180 $ 1,130,562
The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected
benefit obligation were 7.5% and 4%, respectively, for 1993 and 8% and 5.5%,
respectively, for 1992. The weighted average long-term rate of return on plan
assets used in determining the expected return on plan assets included in net
periodic pension cost was 8% for 1993, 1992 and 1991. Substantially all of
the plan assets are invested in a family of mutual funds at December 31, 1993
and in equity securities and United States Government obligations at December
31, 1992.
Under the Retirement Savings Investment Plan (RSIP) eligible participating
employees may elect to contribute specified amounts up to the lesser of $8,994
or 15% (10% in 1992) of their gross pay on a tax-deferred basis to a trust for
investment in a family of mutual funds. The Corporation contributes an amount
equal to 50% of the participant's contributions, but not in excess of 3% of
the participant's annual gross pay. Participants are fully vested in their
contributions to the RSIP. Participants hired before January 1, 1993 vest
immediately in the Corporation's matching contributions and participants hired
after December 31, 1992 vest ratably over five years. The matching
contributions to the RSIP amounted to $761,536, $682,099 and $661,895 in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.
Substantially all permanent employees are included in the Cash Profit Sharing
Plan. The Plan provides for participants to receive certain percentages of
their pay as various threshold levels of return on partnership capital of the
Partnership are achieved. The Corporation also has a Management Performance
Program for certain levels of management. Participants in the Management
Performance Program are not eligible to participate in the Cash Profit Sharing
Plan. The expense for profit sharing/management performance programs was
$2,050,273, $1,331,260 and $488,488 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The Corporation currently provides certain health insurance benefits to its
employees, including retired employees. The Corporation has reserved the
right in most circumstances to modify the benefits provided and in recent
years has in fact made changes. Further changes were implemented in 1993 that
will effect the benefits provided to future retirees. These changes include
the minimum retirement age, years of service and a sharing in the cost of
providing these benefits. In addition, the Medicare Part B reimbursement
currently paid by the Corporation for retirees is being phased out over a
five-year period.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." This statement requires that the cost of
providing postretirement health care benefits be accrued during the employees'
working career rather than recognizing the cost of these benefits as claims
are paid. The Corporation has elected to recognize the accrued benefits
earned by employees as of January 1, 1993 (transition obligation)
prospectively, which means this cost will be recognized as a component of the
net periodic postretirement benefit cost over a period of approximately 20
years. The effect of adopting the new rules increased 1993 net periodic
postretirement benefit cost by approximately $850,000 to $1,255,693.
Postretirement benefit costs for 1992 and 1991, which were recorded on a cash
basis, have not been restated. These costs amounted to approximately $404,000
for 1992 and $471,000 for 1991. As all employee benefit costs are charged to
the Partnership as described in Note 2, the change in accounting for
postretirement benefit costs had no effect on the Corporation's net income.
The Corporation's postretirement benefits are not funded. The status of the
plan as of January 1 and December 31, 1993 is as follows:
December 31, January 1,
1993 1993
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees $ 5,534,885 $ 5,311,584
Fully eligible active plan participants 752,975 619,988
Other active participants 3,065,722 2,480,644
9,353,582 8,412,216
Unrecognized net transition obligation (7,991,605) (8,412,216)
Unrecognized net loss (582,737) -
Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 779,240 $ -
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 includes the following
components:
Service cost $ 181,457
Interest cost 653,625
Amortization of transition obligation 420,611
Net periodic postretirement benefit costs $ 1,255,693
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the 1993 postretirement
benefit cost and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at January
1, 1993 was 8%. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1993 was 7.5%.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used to measure the expected cost of
benefits covered by the plan was 12% in 1993, declining to 5% through the year
2000 and remaining at that level thereafter. A 1% increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate would increase the annual postretirement benefit
cost by approximately $150,000 and the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1993 by approximately $1,515,000.
To partially fund self-insured health care and other employee benefits, the
Corporation makes payments to a trust. Assets of the trust amounted to
$2,710,395 and $2,467,869 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and
such amounts are included in prepaid expenses.

Pension Plan
The Corporation has a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan")
which covers substantially all permanent and regular part-time employees. The
amounts listed in the table below are payable annually upon retirement at age
65 or older. A discount of six percent per year is applied for retirement
before age 65. The pension benefits are based on a single-life annuity and
have been reduced for Social Security covered compensation. The compensation
covered by the Pension Plan is equal to the employees' base pay, which in the
Summary Compensation Table is the executive's salary, but beginning in 1989
was limited to $200,000, adjusted for inflation, and beginning in 1994 is
limited to $150,000, which will also be adjusted for inflation in future
years. Each of the named executives has six years of credited service.

Certain Transactions - Alshire-Columbus:
The Partnership and certain of the directors and executive officers of
the Corporation are limited partners in Alshire-Columbus Limited Partnership
("Alshire-Columbus"), an Ohio limited partnership, which owns the
Partnership's Brice General Store in Columbus, Ohio. The store is leased to
the Partnership by Alshire-Columbus at an annual base rental of $732,000.
Additional rental payments are due if net sales exceed $35 million. The lease
is a "net lease" and has an initial term expiring in 2000, with three five-
year renewal periods and options to purchase the building, land and
improvements at the end of the initial term and each renewal period. The
Partnership believes that the terms of the Brice General Store lease are at
least as favorable to the Partnership as terms obtainable from other third
parties.
The Partnership contributed the land, at its cost ($1,367,000), for its
original limited partner interest. As original limited partner, the
Partnership has no economic interest in the income from operations of Alshire-
Columbus but will receive a preferential distribution upon any sale of the
real estate equal to the cost of the land plus an amount equal to the
aggregate cash distributions received by the limited partners in excess of
their capital contributions. The remaining cash proceeds from any sale of the
Brice General Store will be distributed to the limited partners - 75%; the
Partnership, as original limited partner - 24%; and the general partner - 1%.
The other limited partners of Alshire-Columbus contributed $1,450,000,
representing 35 limited partnership units. None of the directors and
executive officers of the Corporation or their family members own more than
one limited partnership unit, except for Richard P. Anderson, who owns two
units. In the aggregate, 8 3/4 units are owned by directors and executive
officers of the Corporation, and their family members own an additional four
units. The limited partners, other than the Partnership, have 99% of the
economic interest in the income from operations of Alshire-Columbus and the
general partner has a 1% economic interest.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) No individual beneficially owns as much as 5% of the Voting Class
B Common Shares of the Corporation. As of March 1, 1994, the descendants of
the founders of the Partnership beneficially held 3,597 shares of the voting
Class B Common Shares, representing 79% of the outstanding shares.
(b) The following table sets forth, as of March 1, 1994, the beneficial
ownership by each Director and by all Directors and Officers as a group, of
the Corporation's voting Class B Common Shares:
Number of Shares Percent
Director Beneficially Owned of Class

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
See "Item 1. Business" regarding personnel and management services
provided by the Corporation to the Partnership. The management fee received
by the Corporation in 1993 under the Management Agreement between the
Corporation and the Partnership was $63,107,331. See Note 2 to the
Corporation's Financial Statements.
The office building utilized by the Partnership is leased by the
Corporation from an unaffiliated lessor under a net lease expiring in 2000.
The Partnership subleases approximately 80% of the building from the
Corporation and pays the Corporation rent for the space it occupies. Under
the terms of the sublease, the Partnership also is responsible for insurance,
utilities, taxes, general maintenance, snow removal, lawn care and similar
upkeep expenses for the entire building. The Corporation reimburses the
Partnership for management and maintenance of the building, including the
space it does not occupy. The amount paid by the Partnership to the
Corporation for the portion of the building occupied by the Partnership is
designed to reimburse the Corporation for its equivalent cost under the
Corporation's lease. In 1993, the rental payments made by the Partnership to
the Corporation, net of the reimbursement for management and maintenance of
the building was $529,982, which is included in the management fee referred
to in the preceding paragraph.
