Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Fairwood Corporation, formerly MHS Holdings Corporation ("Fairwood" or the "Company"), is a privately-held Delaware corporation organized in 1988 by investors including Citicorp Venture Capital Limited ("CVCL") for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of Mohasco Corporation ("Mohasco").
In 1988 Fairwood, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MHS Acquisition Corporation ("Acquisition"), acquired by tender offer a majority of the common stock of Mohasco. In September 1989, Acquisition was merged with Mohasco (the "Merger") and Mohasco thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairwood.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at c/o Mohasco Corporation, 4401 Fair Lakes Court, Suite 100, Fairfax, Virginia 22033. The Company's primary asset is all of the common stock of Mohasco.
On December 31, 1988, Mohasco sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mohasco Carpet Corporation ("Carpet") and Cort Furniture Rental Corporation ("Rental"). In connection with the sale of the capital stock of Rental, the Company received an aggregate amount of approximately $151.1 million, in the form of promissory notes and assumption of long-term indebtedness and lease obligations of Rental. Approximately $21.0 million of the promissory notes was prepaid in December 1989 and the balance was prepaid in January 1990.
In an effort to better meet the service and delivery requirements of West Coast customers and to further penetrate the large West Coast regional market, the Company opened an upholstered furniture manufacturing plant in Ontario, California in the last quarter of 1990 and expanded this operation by adding a warehouse in 1992. Correspondingly, the Company's Clinton, North Carolina plant was closed in 1991 due to a shift in the geographical demand for the Company's upholstered furniture and such plant is under contract for sale. Clinton production was shifted to New Albany and Okolona, Mississippi and Ontario, California.
On March 10, 1992, Mohasco, the Company's principal operating subsidiary, entered into two Agreements and Plans of Merger, which provided for the disposition of two wholly owned subsidiaries, Chromcraft Corporation ("Chromcraft") and Peters-Revington Corporation ("Peters-Revington") to Chromcraft Revington, Inc., an affiliate. The mergers were consummated on April 23, 1992 and the proceeds of the disposition were used by Mohasco to repay long-term debt owed to Court Square Capital Limited ("CSCL"), an affiliate of CVCL, under Mohasco's Credit Agreement with CSCL (the "Credit Agreement").
Through its subsidiaries, the Company manufactures upholstered stationary and motion furniture, furniture mechanisms for motion furniture, such as sleepers, recliners and rockers and mechanisms for office furniture, hospital beds and related health care products.
- 2 - OPERATIONS
The Company, through its subsidiary, Mohasco, and Mohasco's subsidiaries, serves selected segments of the highly diversified $19+ billion residential furniture market. The Company's operations engage in the manufacture and sales of a diversified line of upholstered furniture under several brand names, as well as furniture mechanisms. While most of its products are moderately priced and designed to appeal to a wide range of furniture buyers, certain products have been successfully targeted to a more selective, higher priced market. The products are sold nationally to furniture retailers and department stores mainly through commissioned sales forces.
Mohasco entered the furniture industry through a series of acquisitions commencing in 1964. There are currently three separate operating companies, organized as two subsidiaries of Mohasco. Each company markets and manufactures one or more specific brands of furniture. The Stratford Company ("Stratford") makes and sells mid-priced upholstered stationary and motion furniture under the brand names of Stratford, Stratolounger, Stratopedic and Avon. The Barcalounger Company ("Barcalounger") manufactures and sells higher-priced motion furniture and is well known for its high-quality recliners. Super Sagless Corporation ("Super Sagless") is a major fabricator of recliner, incliner, rocker, glider and sleeper mechanisms which are sold throughout the furniture industry. In 1992, Super Sagless added the tilt swivel for office chairs to its line of mechanisms and entered the hospital bed market with a portable hospital bed for home use as well as a line of beds for hospitals and related products.
The furniture industry is affected to a substantial degree by style, value and fashion. The subsidiaries of Mohasco participate in important furnishings market showings held during the year in a number of larger cities to acquaint retailers with the significant number of new products introduced each year. The Company frequently reviews its product lines to evaluate whether minor or major restyling of such lines is warranted. To generate new product and style ideas based upon consumer and retailer response, the companies maintain in-house design staffs and contract with outside designers. The designers consult with manufacturing management to analyze the economic feasibility of producing new products based on their designs.
The marketing strategy of Stratford is to maintain and increase its market share in the upholstered furniture market by anticipating trends in furniture fashions and responding to the many changes in consumer and retailer demand. Stratford's goal is to provide moderate pricing and to offer selling support at the retail level for customers in the form of sales aids, promotions, advertising plans and programs as well as training for the retail customers' salespeople. Accordingly, management must develop product lines with appealing style, in various targeted price ranges that provide good value via efficient production methods and technologies. This adaptive process requires market sensitivity, a close and empathetic relationship with retailers, and tight controls with flexibility in the manufacturing process. Stratford is extremely proud of its reputation as an innovator in modular and motion upholstery furniture designs and the high-quality tailoring of its products compared to similarly and higher-priced competitive furniture.
Barcalounger targets a selected market for its high-end recliner chair and living room motion furniture. Barcalounger sells mainly to furniture stores
- 3 - that carry more expensive products and provide interior design services directly or indirectly. Barcalounger gives extensive warranties for its products. The value and fine quality of their furniture is apparent as only hardwood frames are used and only the finest leathers and fabrics are offered. Barcalounger has significant brand recognition and has a reputation of having one of the best product lines in terms of value, quality, design and service in the more expensive segment of the motion furniture industry. They have the distinction of introducing the latest technology in motion mechanisms which they design, develop and tool for their own exclusive use.
Approximately 30%, 25% and 28% in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, of Super Sagless' production of mechanisms were sold to other Mohasco subsidiaries and the remainder were sold to other furniture manufacturers who do not manufacture their own mechanisms. The health care product line is sold to dealers. Super Sagless operates a large metal fabrication plant with low, well controlled costs. Super Sagless' marketing strategy is to press this advantage to expand their sales to motion furniture and office chair manufacturing while continuing to seek other related metal fabrication sales in other industries and developing and expanding their health care product line business.
Stratford and Barcalounger are well known in the furniture industry which is characterized by a large number of relatively small manufacturers. The following are among the Company's larger competitors: Masco Corporation, Interco Industries, La-Z-Boy, Sealy, LADD Furniture, and Bassett. Competition is intense at all levels, stressing price, style, fabric and product finish.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE HOME FURNISHINGS INDUSTRY
The furniture industry as a whole is affected by demographics, household formations, the level of personal discretionary income, household mobility and the rate of new home construction. There exists a substantial replacement market that is relatively less affected by these factors.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Since the furniture industry is characterized by active competition among a large number of companies, many of which also have substantial facilities and resources, the Company believes that the maintenance of high product quality and the development of new products are essential to maintaining its competitive position. In support of these goals, the Company conducts research and development activities which are decentralized and directed by the individual operating companies.
The operating divisions, excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, expended a total of $22,030,000 in the past five years for research and development programs of which $4,043,000, $3,853,000 and $4,325,000 were expended in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
EMPLOYEES
The Company and its subsidiaries employed 3,539 persons at December 31, 1993. Mohasco has a long record of generally harmonious relations with employees. - 4 - BACKLOG
The backlog of orders among the Company's furniture operations was approximately $26,345,000 at December 31, 1993 and approximately $24,110,000 at December 31, 1992. It is expected that the backlog at December 31, 1993 will be filled in the current year. The Company does not consider backlog to be a significant indicator of the sales outlook for its products beyond the period of a few months.
SEASONALITY AND CUSTOMERS
There are seasonal factors which affect the Company's business. Spring and fall are generally considered periods of increased interest by consumers in interior furnishings since these are periods of increased real estate activity involving relocation of families. The Christmas holiday season and other special occasions usually generate increased sales of some of the Company's furniture lines. On the other hand, inclement weather in mid-winter generally discourages the purchase of interior furnishings. Similarly, the closedown of a portion of the Company's activities for vacation periods of one or two weeks in July has a limiting effect on production as well as sales. The Company maintains adequate levels of inventory to meet seasonal demands.
Sears accounted for approximately sixteen, thirteen and nine percent of the Company's furniture sales during the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Export sales have not been significant.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND RAW MATERIALS
In 1993, there were no significant effects upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries occasioned by compliance with provisions of federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
Raw materials purchased by the Company are all procured in the open market from a number of suppliers. In general, no major difficulties have been experienced in obtaining raw materials.
PATENTS
Patents are not a significant consideration in the manufacture of most of the Company's products. The Company does not believe that its operating income is materially dependent on any one patent or license or group of related patents or licenses.
ITEM 2.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The furniture manufacturing activities of the Company are conducted in modern facilities of suitable construction. These facilities are in good operating condition, reasonably maintained and contain reasonably modern equipment. All of the principal items of machinery and equipment located in these facilities are owned by the subsidiaries of Mohasco.
- 5 - The Company's subsidiaries also lease showroom and warehouse space throughout the United States for display and storage of products. Mohasco owned until March 1993 an office building located in Fairfax, Virginia. Office space is now leased.
The Company believes that the plants and facilities, in the aggregate, are adequate, suitable and of sufficient capacity for purposes of conducting its current business.
As of December 31, 1993, the Company's subsidiaries have twelve plants and furniture facilities located in three states, California, North Carolina and Mississippi, occupying a total of approximately 3.0 million square feet. Of these plants and facilities, a total of approximately .1 million square feet of floor space is owned by the subsidiaries of Mohasco. A total of 2.9 million square feet is leased under long-term leases with various municipalities and counties with various expiration dates extending to 2048.
Substantially all of the assets of Mohasco and its subsidiaries are subject to a lien in favor of CSCL granted in connection with the Credit Agreement.
ITEM 3.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed the audit examination of the consolidated Federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Mohasco (the "Consolidated Group"), for the years ended December 31, 1988 through December 31, 1991, and has delivered to the Company a "30-day letter" and Revenue Agent's Report ("RAR") proposing to adjust the Company's taxable income in the years in issue and in prior years to which net operating losses of the Consolidated Group were carried back. The cumulative proposed deficiency in Federal income tax arising from the proposed adjustments is approximately $63 million, before applicable statutory interest. The Company estimates that the aggregate proposed liability would, together with statutory interest through the year ended December 31, 1993, and net of any applicable deduction for such interest, total $90 million. The principal issues addressed in the RAR are (i) the proposed disallowance of approximately $164 million of interest expense claimed by the Consolidated Group with respect to debt incurred in connection with the 1988 acquisition of Mohasco by the Company under the theory that such debt should be recharacterized as equity for tax purposes, (ii) the proposed disallowance of approximately $18 million of investment banking, legal and other fees incurred by the Consolidated Group and deducted in the years in issue under the theory that such expenses are capital in nature and related theories, and (iii) the proposed disallowance of approximately $4 million of compensation expense deducted by the Consolidated Group under the theory that such expense constitutes non-deductible "golden parachute" payments. The Company believes that the proposed adjustments are in error and intends to contest vigorously this matter. Under available administrative procedures, the Company will protest the proposed adjustments and request a conference or conferences with the IRS Appeals division. Depending upon the outcome of discussions of the issues with the IRS Appeals division, the Company may litigate one or more of the issues.
On October 14, 1993, Mohasco was served with a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia by third party plaintiffs against Mohasco and its former subsidiary, Sloane Blabon Corporation, which engaged in the linoleum business, U.S. vs. Berks Associates, et al., Civ. No. 91-4868, U.S.D.C., E.D. PA.
- 6 - The original complaint in the case was filed by the Environmental Protection Agency against Berks Associates and others to recover over $200 million from twelve defendants (not including Mohasco) for costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with the investigation and remediation of a Super Fund site in Douglasville, PA. The original defendants then sued over 600 third party defendants to share in the liability, if any. Sloane Blabon is alleged to have disposed of benzine at the site from 1949 through May, 1953, when Sloane Blabon sold the relevant assets to Congoleum Corporation. During that period, Sloane Blabon disposed of substantial quantities of benzine to Berks Associates at the Douglasville site. The Company does not believe its disposals were toxic as alleged. The damages sought from Sloane Blabon and Mohasco are unspecified. On November 1, 1993, the Company filed a Notice and Certification denying the charges. The Company believes the charges are without merit and that it has valid defenses to the claims. At present, no trial date has been set.
As of the date hereof, there are certain other legal proceedings pending, which arise out of the normal course of the Company's business, the financial risk of which is not considered material in relation to the consolidated financial position of the Company.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREOWNER MATTERS
The Registrant's common stock is privately held. At year end 1993 and 1992, there were three shareowners of the Company's common stock. No dividends were declared on the Company's common stock in 1993 and 1992. The ability of the Company to pay dividends and make distributions in respect of its common stock is restricted by instruments relating to the Company's debt. Futhermore, the ability of Mohasco and its subsidiaries to transfer monies to the Company (including without limitation by dividend or distribution) is restricted by instruments relating to Mohasco's and its subsidiaries' debt, including the Credit Agreement. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8.
Common stock purchase warrants issued by the Registrant in connection with the Merger are held by the public. The common stock purchase warrants become exercisable in September 1994. See Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8. The warrant exercise price is $1 per share (subject to adjustment). There is no established market for the Registrant's common stock purchase warrants.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Five Year Summary of Financial Data (Dollar Amounts in Millions Except Per Share Data)
The Company acquired Mohasco in a purchase transaction deemed to be effective as of July 3, 1988. In 1992, the excess of purchase cost over fair value of assets acquired in the purchase of Mohasco was written off due to the determined unrecoverability of these costs. Also in 1992, operations data includes the activities of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington for the period ended April 23, 1992. Accordingly, the data presented for 1993 and 1992 is not comparable with one another or prior periods.
The provision for income taxes associated with Rental's prepayment of promissory notes in 1989 and 1990 are reflected in discontinued operations.
For additional information, see the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included with this report, including Notes 3 and 12 thereto regarding certain tax and liquidity matters.

ITEM 7.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table indicates the percentage of sales accounted for by certain items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
1993 VS 1992
Net sales of approximately $261.4 million for 1993 decreased slightly from 1992 net sales of approximately $267.0 million, due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington in April 1992. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, net sales for 1993 were approximately $261.4 million as compared to approximately $231.5 million for 1992, an increase of approximately 13%, primarily due to an increase in the number of units sold of upholstered furniture in 1993.
Cost of sales decreased in 1993 to approximately $221.5 million from approximately $233.8 million in 1992, primarily due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, cost of sales were approximately $221.5 million and $206.9 million for 1993 and 1992, respectively, or 84.7% and 89.4% of sales for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The 4.7% reduction in cost of sales as a
- 9 - percentage of sales from 1992 to 1993, while sales increased approximately 13%, was primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances associated with higher volume of production and cost reduction and quality improvement programs at all subsidiary company manufacturing facilities. These programs include the streamlining of work flows, utilization of cellular production techniques, establishment of focused factory systems and implementation of benchmarking methods to lower and control both unit and factory overhead costs.
Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased to approximately $38.0 million in 1993 from approximately $51.7 million in 1992, in part due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately $38.0 million and $46.5 million for 1993 and 1992, respectively. This decrease in selling, administrative and general expenses from 1992 to 1993 is primarily due to more effective utilization of resources and reduction of personnel due to the consolidation of administrative functions.
Other expenses, net, decreased approximately $2.4 million to approximately $4.3 million in 1993 from approximately $6.7 million in 1992, primarily due to recording in 1992 anticipated losses in connection with the sale, completed in March 1993, of the Company's Fairfax, Virginia office building, and the transfer of corporate functions to the operating companies, which were partially offset by 1993 losses on sales of property and costs associated with divested operations.
1992 VS 1991
Net sales for 1992 decreased from 1991 sales of approximately $341.4 million to approximately $267.0 million, primarily due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, net sales for 1992 were approximately $231.5 million compared to approximately $225.3 million for 1991, an increase of approximately 2.8% primarily due to the number of units sold of upholstered furniture in 1992.
Cost of sales for 1992 decreased to approximately $233.8 million from approximately $290.9 million in 1991, primarily due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, cost of sales were approximately $206.9 million and $203.8 million for 1992 and 1991, respectively, or 89.4% and 90.5% of sales for 1992 and 1991, respectively. The improvement in the percentage of sales is primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances associated with higher volume of production and a cost reduction program.
Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased to approximately $51.7 million in 1992 from approximately $62.4 million in 1991, primarily due to the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Excluding Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately $46.5 million and $46.4 million in 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Other expenses increased approximately $5.8 million to approximately $6.7 million in 1992 from approximately $.9 million in 1991, primarily due to anticipated losses in connection with the sale, completed in March 1993, of the Company's Fairfax, Virginia office building and the transfer of many corporate functions to the operating companies.
- 10 - A restructuring charge of approximately $85.9 million in 1992 was due to the write-off of the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of assets acquired in the 1988 purchase of Mohasco due to the unrecoverability of these costs. The Company determined that the write up in assets resulting from the 1988 purchase was unrecoverable due to the continuing significant losses of the operating companies, and a lower of cost or market analysis of the Company's assets.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
An income tax refund receivable, included in other accounts and notes receivable on the balance sheet, of approximately $1.4 million was recorded in 1993 due to an operating loss carryback. A cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $2.1 million was recorded in 1993, which is described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to the taxable income generated as a result of the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington, the Company provided for taxes of approximately $4.5 million in 1992, which were partially offset by the utilization of a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1.9 million, shown as an extraordinary item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, yielding a net provision of approximately $2.6 million. The Company had a tax benefit of approximately $7.4 million in 1991 due to an operating loss carryback. Please refer to Note 3, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital requirements for operations during 1993 and 1992 were provided by financing channels and operating cash flow.
The Company had working capital of approximately $43.3 million and $23.1 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At December 31, 1993, the Company had long-term debt of approximately $386.0 million of which $.2 million was current. Long-term debt at December 31, 1992 was approximately $330.8 million of which $.1 million was current. In April 1992, the proceeds to Mohasco from the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington were used to repay secured, senior debt of Mohasco and its subsidiaries in the approximate amount of $83 million. All outstanding debt at December 31, 1993 and 1992, excluding the merger debentures and capitalized lease obligations, is payable to CSCL, which is an indirect subsidiary of Citicorp, a bank holding company, and an affiliate of CVCL. The Company will attempt either to refinance, or negotiate an extension of, the debt payable to CSCL when due, although there can be no assurance that such attempts will be successful. Interest on the revolving credit loan of Mohasco and its subsidiaries is payable quarterly at 1 1/2% above the prime rate, which prime rate was 6.0% at December 31, 1993. Interest on the senior subordinated debentures of Mohasco is payable semi-annually at 18%. Interest on the senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures of Fairwood is payable semi-annually at 15 1/2% and 16 7/8%, respectively. The Company has the option until April 1, 1995 to pay interest on its senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures either by cash or by the distribution of additional securities. Additional securities were issued in lieu of the cash payments of interest due April 1, 1993 and October 1, 1993 on both the senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures. Accordingly, the principal amount of the Company's senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures increased by $12.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, since December 31, 1992. For further details on financing and debt see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital additions were approximately $4.2 million, $3.2 million and $4.4 million for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Additions for 1994 are budgeted at approximately $5.1 million, primarily for the purchase of new manufacturing equipment.
- 11 - Mohasco is expected in 1994 to service debt from its cash flow from operations and available credit facilities. Throughout 1993, 1992 and 1991, Mohasco funded interest obligations related to long-term indebtedness through increased borrowings from CSCL. However, during 1992 the proceeds to Mohasco from the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington of approximately $83 million were used to repay debt of Mohasco and its subsidiaries.
The Company is dependent upon CSCL for funding of its debt service costs. Instruments relating to the revolving credit facility and senior subordinated debentures have been amended and certain provisions thereof waived at various times through March 1994 to provide more favorable terms to Mohasco and, in certain instances, to avoid defaults thereunder. Under the Credit Agreement, relating to the revolving credit facility, Mohasco and its subsidiaries are generally restricted from transferring monies to the Company (including without limitation by dividend or distribution) with the exception of amounts for (a) specified administrative expenses of the Company not exceeding $275,000 per year and (b) payment of income taxes. Futhermore, Mohasco is subject to additional restrictions on transferring monies to the Company (including without limitation by dividend or distribution) under its senior subordinated debentures, which generally require the satisfaction of certain financial conditions for such transfers. Fairwood is subject to additional restrictions on payment or transfer of monies (including without limitation by dividend or distribution) under its senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures, which generally require the satisfaction of certain financial conditions for such transfers. The Company anticipates that funds provided by operations and available credit facilities will be adequate in 1994 for the capital addition program, working capital requirements and any cash payments then due on the Company's debt.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Shareowners and Board of Directors Fairwood Corporation and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Fairwood Corporation and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fairwood Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 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 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed adjustments to its Federal income tax returns for the years 1988 through 1991. Such adjustments would result in a net tax cost to the Company of approximately $90 million, including interest, through the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company has indicated that it disagrees with the proposed adjustments and intends to contest vigorously the positions taken by the Internal Revenue Service. The ultimate outcome of these proposed adjustments cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon ultimate resolution of these proposed adjustments has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as of January 1, 1993.

Income Taxes
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, ("Statement 109"). Statement 109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes to the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rates.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109. The adoption of Statement 109 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $2,100,000 which reduced the net loss for 1993, and which is reflected in the 1993 statement of operations.
Under the deferred method, which was applied in 1992 and prior years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and expense items that are reported in different years for financial reporting and tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of the calculation. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.
Restructuring Charge
In December 1992, the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of assets acquired in the 1988 and 1989 purchase of Mohasco was written off due to the unrecoverability of these costs. The charge includes the following costs:
The Company determined that the write up in assets resulting from the purchase was unrecoverable due to the continuing significant losses of the operating companies, and a lower of cost or market analysis of the Company's assets.

(2) Divestitures
The disposition of Chromcraft Corporation ("Chromcraft") and Peters- Revington Corporation ("Peters-Revington") to Chromcraft Revington, Inc., an affiliate, occurred in April 1992. The proceeds from the disposition amounted to approximately $83.1 million, approximately $30.9 million greater than the net book value of the net assets of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington. Due to the affiliated nature of the transaction, the $30.9 million was accounted for as contributed capital. The proceeds were used to repay long-term debt owed Court Square Capital Limited ("CSCL"), an affiliate, under Mohasco's Credit Agreement with CSCL (the "Credit Agreement") relating to Mohasco's revolving credit facility. The disposition generated taxable income which resulted in a tax provision for the year 1992.
During the four months ended April 23, 1992, Chromcraft and Peters- Revington generated net earnings of approximately $700,000. For 1991 Chromcraft and Peters-Revington generated net earnings of approximately $1,900,000.

(3) Income Taxes
As discussed in note 1, the Company adopted Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993, which resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $2,100,000 which decreased the net loss for the year 1993. The effect of Statement 109 on the provision for income taxes for the year 1993 was not material.
Components of the provision for income taxes (benefit) are summarized, in thousands, as follows:
The differences between the actual taxes (benefit) and taxes (benefit) computed at the U.S. Federal Income tax rate of 34% are summarized as follows:
- 21 - FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The tax effects of temporary differences as of December 31, 1993, in thousands, are as follows:
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1993 was $7,047,000. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 1993 was an increase of $19,320,000.
At December 31, 1993, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $48,356,000 expire in 2008.
Certain timing differences exist which cause current income taxes actually payable to differ from the amounts provided as follows:
Current deferred income tax benefits of $2,827,000 at December 31, 1993 are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has examined the Company's Federal income tax returns for the years 1988 through 1991 and is challenging certain deductions, of which the most significant involves an effort to recharacterize interest deductions as dividend distributions. The IRS has delivered proposed adjustments that approximate a net tax cost of $90 million, including interest through the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company believes the IRS's position with respect to these issues is incorrect and plans to contest vigorously the proposed adjustments. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome nor the impact on its financial statements, if any.

(4) Long-term Debt
In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Mohasco by merger on September 22, 1989, certain bridge loans were refinanced with new debt, and in exchange for the approximately 6.85% of Mohasco common stock then outstanding, the Company issued $33.5 million of subordinated pay-in-kind merger debentures and 918,170 warrants (as discussed below) to purchase, in the aggregate, 142,900 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The assets of Mohasco and its subsidiaries are pledged as security for a portion of the new debt. Certain instruments related to the new debt were amended through March 1994. Among other things, these amendments extended certain debt due dates, increased certain debt limits and credit lines and modified selected financial covenant tests. Certain provisions of these instruments were waived at various times through April 1993. Proceeds from the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington were used to repay a portion of the new secured debt owed CSCL.
The outstanding debt at December 31 was as follows (in thousands):
All outstanding debt at December 31, 1993 with the exception of the merger debentures and other is payable to CSCL. Substantially all of the Company's debt instruments restrict the payment of dividends and the Credit Agreement with CSCL, relating to Mohasco's revolving credit facility, contains certain financial covenant tests. The Company plans to attempt to refinance, or negotiate an extension of, the debt payable to CSCL when due. The Company has the option until April 1, 1995 to pay interest on the senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures either by cash or by the distribution of additional securities. Through October 1, 1993, the Company has issued additional securities in lieu of cash payments of interest.
The aggregate maturities of long-term debt (including capitalized lease obligations) during the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $150,000 in 1994; $160,000 in 1995; $240,597,000 in 1996; $180,000 in 1997; $190,000 in 1998; and $144,690,000 subsequent to 1998.
The warrants issued with the merger debentures, discussed above, are exercisable during the one-year period beginning on the earliest to occur of: (1) 180 days after the public offering by the Company of common stock meeting certain conditions, (2) the closing of a merger, consolidation or other business combination or a purchase of assets in which the Company is the surviving corporation meeting certain conditions, or (3) September 22, 1994. The warrant exercise price is $1 per share (subject to adjustment).

Benefits for the plans are determined using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. The cost of the retirement plans is accrued annually; funding is in accordance with actuarial requirements of the plans, subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Pension expense, in thousands, is as follows:

FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SUPER SAGLESS RETIREMENT-SAVINGS PLAN is a retirement income plan fully financed by the company combined with an employee savings plan. All employees with one or more years of service are participants in the retirement income part of the plan and also may elect to invest on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis in one or more of four funds available in the savings part of the plan. Annual company contributions to the retirement income part of the plan are based on individual particpant's earnings and length of service and the company matches 100% of participants' before-tax savings of up to two percent of earnings in the savings part of the plan. For the period June 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, aggregate company contributions to the plan were $492,000.
The Company also maintained a non-qualified retirement plan for certain key executives, who were excluded from participation in Mohasco's Salaried Retirement Plan. Benefits of the executive retirement plan were substantially the same as the Salaried Retirement Plan. The executive retirement plan ceased benefit accruals in December 1992. The cost of this plan was approximately $751,000 in 1992 and $520,000 in 1991. As of December 31, 1993, the plan liabilities are approximately $401,000, and are included in other long-term liabilities.
Under various incentive compensation plans, certain employees earned bonuses for reaching specific performance criteria amounting to $964,000 in 1993, $346,000 in 1992 and $1,038,000 in 1991.
The Company has an investment plan for all employees. The plan previously covered all employees but, since the adoption of the Barcalounger and Super Sagless plans, noted above, now covers all employees not covered by such plans. Since the time of adoption of the Barcalounger and Super Sagless plans, Barcalounger and Super Sagless participants' account balances were transferred to the Barcalounger and Super Sagless plans. Company contributions to the Company's investment plan were $50,000 in 1993, $177,000 in 1992 and $606,000 in 1991.

(12) Liquidity
Mohasco is expected to service its long-term debt under the Credit Agreement, relating to the revolving credit facility, and senior subordinated debentures from its cash flow from operations and available credit facilities. Interest on Fairwood's senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures is expected to be paid by distribution of additional securities through September 1994. Fairwood has substantially no assets other than the common stock of Mohasco, and Mohasco and its subsidiaries have pledged substantially all of their assets to secure their obligations under the Credit Agreement. Throughout 1993, 1992 and 1991, Mohasco did not generate sufficient funds from operations to fully meet its interest obligations related to its long-term indebtedness. Mohasco funded these interest obligations through increased borrowings from CSCL under the Credit Agreement. However, during 1992 the proceeds to Mohasco from the disposition of Chromcraft and Peters-Revington of approximately $83 million were used to repay debt of Mohasco and its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.
The Company is dependent upon CSCL for funding of its debt service costs. CSCL has in the past increased its revolving credit line to Mohasco under the Credit Agreement which has enabled Mohasco to meet its debt service obligations. Under the Credit Agreement, Mohasco and its subsidiaries are generally restricted from transferring monies to the Company with the exception of amounts for (a) specified administrative expenses of the Company not exceeding $275,000 per year and (b) payment of income taxes. The senior subordinated debentures, senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures also have certain restrictions as to payment and transfer of monies. Management believes that cash flow from operations and funding from CSCL will be adequate for its working capital requirements and any cash payments due on the Company's debt through December 31, 1994.

- 32 - RETIREMENT PLAN
Messrs. Sganga, Lake, Shaughnessy and Stephens, who are named in the Summary Compensation Table, are not participants in the Salaried and Sales Employees Retirement Plan of Mohasco, which ceased further benefit accruals as of May 31, 1993.
Mohasco adopted in 1990 a non-qualified non-contributory Executive Retirement Plan for certain of its executives in the operating companies and corporate office, including Messrs. Sganga and Lake. Participants in this plan are not eligible to participate in the Mohasco Salaried and Sales Employees Retirement Plan. Executives designated as participants begin to accrue retirement benefits following completion of one year of employment. Benefits accrued under the plan are reduced by any benefits to which the individual may be entitled under a prior or current defined benefit pension or supplemental retirement plan of Mohasco.
In December 1992, benefit accruals were ceased to the Executive Retirement Plan and Messrs. Sganga and Lake received payment in full settlement of the accrued benefit obligation under the plan. Mr. Sganga received $150,510 in 1992 and Mr. Lake received $12,916 in 1993. Messrs. Shaughnessy and Stephens were not eligible to participate in the Executive Retirement Plan.
SALARIED INVESTMENT PLAN
Officers of Mohasco are eligible to participate in its tax-qualified Investment Plan for Salaried and Sales Employees. Directors who are not officers are not eligible. Mohasco may, but is not obligated to, contribute up to 100% of any savings of a participant not exceeding 4% of salary.
The full value of a participant's investment in the plan becomes payable upon retirement, disability or death. Upon termination of employment for other reasons, a participant is entitled to the accumulated value of his or her savings, and to varying amounts of Mohasco's contributions depending on years of membership in the plan, with 100% thereof payable if years of membership are 5 or more.
During 1993, such contributions for Mr. Sganga were $1,907 and for Mr. Lake were $1,375. In June 1993, the following defined contribution plans were adopted: Barcalounger Retirement Plan, Barcalounger Savings PLan, Stratford Retirement Plan, and Super Sagless Retirement-Savings Plan. Please refer to note 7, Employee Benefit Plans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The company contribution for Mr. Lake in the Super Sagless Retirement-Savings Plan was $1,518. Mr. Shaughnessy is not a member of the Stratford Retirement Plan and Mr. Stephens was not eligible for membership in the Barcalounger Retirement Plan nor the Barcalounger Savings Plan.
INCENTIVE PLAN
Mohasco maintains an executive incentive (bonus) plan implemented to provide individual awards for attainment of specified business objectives. Under the executive incentive plan, each of Mohasco's profit centers is assigned certain business goals annually, which for 1993 were based on earnings and cash flow. Awards are made to profit center participants based upon the extent to which their respective profit centers attain their goals. Total awards made for the 1993 Plan Year were $964,000, including awards of $172,975 for Mr. Lake and $141,934 for Mr. Shaughnessy.
