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





ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Set forth below is a description of certain legal proceedings involving SFP and its subsidiaries.
On January 30, 1987, New TC Holding Corporation ("New TC") and Ticor, Inc. ("Ticor") filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against SFP Properties, Inc. (formerly known as Southern Pacific Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of SFP (the "New TC Lawsuit"). In the complaint, New TC, which purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Ticor from SFP Properties, Inc. pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated September 30, 1983, sought an order declaring that SFP Properties, Inc. is obligated by the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement to defend and hold harmless New TC and certain of its subsidiaries from losses which may exceed $100 million. On February 24, 1993, this case was dismissed by the court for lack of prosecution. SFP Properties, Inc. has reached an agreement in principle to pay New TC and Ticor $1.2 million in settlement of all claims made in the New TC Lawsuit and the third-party action filed in the Great American Lawsuit (described below).
In another lawsuit, Great American Insurance Company ("Great American") seeks indemnity from Ticor for various claims and losses pursuant to the indemnity provisions of the 1977 Share Purchase Agreement in which Ticor purchased Constellation Reinsurance Company ("Con Re") from Great American (the "Great American Lawsuit"). Great American alleges that Con Re breached certain agreements with Great American, and that Ticor is required to indemnify and hold Great American harmless with respect to all losses incurred in connection therewith. In turn, Ticor seeks indemnity from SFP Properties, Inc. under the 1983 Share Purchase Agreement between New TC and SFP Properties, Inc. referred to above.
Ticor's third-party complaint against SFP Properties, Inc., filed on December 22, 1989, alleges not only that SFP Properties, Inc. is responsible to indemnify Ticor under the 1983 Share Purchase Agreement between New TC and SFP Properties, Inc., but that SFP Properties, Inc.'s failure to infuse funds into Con Re and to implement less onerous tax allocation arrangements prior to Con Re's liquidation was the proximate cause of Con Re's failure to satisfy the claims now made against Great American. Ticor alleges that SFP Properties, Inc. had an implied contractual duty to Ticor to refrain from such conduct.
On or about December 14, 1990, Ticor filed a petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and both Great American's action against Ticor and Ticor's third-party action against against SFP Properties, Inc. were stayed. The Bankruptcy Court thereafter entered an order disallowing Great American's claim in its entirety, and the action brought by Great American against Ticor was dismissed, with prejudice. Subsequently, as described above, SFP Properties, Inc. reached an agreement in principle to pay New TC and Ticor $1.2 million in settlement of all claims made in the third- party action filed in the Great American Lawsuit and the New TC Lawsuit.
On December 17, 1992, an amended complaint was filed in an action entitled David Rodriguez, derivatively on behalf of Santa Fe Pacific Corporation v. John S. Reed, Robert D. Krebs, W. John Swartz, John J. Schmidt, Joseph F. Alibrandi, Richard J. Flamson III, George B. Munroe, Jack S. Parker, Jean Head Sisco, Arthur W. Woelfle, Robert E. Gilmore, Michael A. Morphy, Edward F. Swift, Kathryn D. Wriston, John S. Runnells, II, Robert H. West, Alan C. Furth, Arjay Miller, and
Benjamin F. Biaggini, Defendants, and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Nominal Defendant, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division, No. 92 CH 06618. The amended complaint asserts purported derivative claims on behalf of SFP against present and former directors of SFP and alleges that the defendant directors caused SFP to incur liability in connection with the action brought against SFP in 1985 by Energy Transportation Systems, Inc. and ETSI Pipeline Project (the "ETSI Litigation"). The four counts of the amended complaint allege breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets for intentional antitrust violations, negligent failure to stop antitrust violations, failure to timely settle the ETSI Litigation, and failure to take appropriate action against persons who committed antitrust violations. The amended complaint seeks damages from the individual defendants in an amount "not less than $342 million." On December 7, 1993, the Board appointed a Litigation Committee consisting of Directors Lindig and Roberts to consider and determine whether or not prosecution of such claims and action is in the best interest of SFP and its stockholders.
In August 1991, the EPA issued an order to SFP Pipelines and nine additional parties regarding investigation and cleanup of contamination in the vicinity of the Partnership's storage facilities and truck loading terminal at Sparks, Nevada. The investigation and remediation at the Sparks terminal is also the subject of a lawsuit filed January 1, 1991, entitled Nevada Division of Environmental Protection v. Santa Fe Pacific Pipelines, Inc., Southern Pacific Transportation Company, Shell Oil Company, Time Oil Company, Berry-Hinkley Terminal, Inc., Chevron U.S.A., Inc., Texaco Refining and Marketing, Inc., Air BP, a division of BP Oil, Unocal Corporation, and Golden Gate Petroleum Company, Case No. CV91-546, in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for the County of Washoe, seeking remediation of contamination allegedly due to operations of SFP Pipelines and other defendants and which involves potential monetary sanctions that could exceed $100,000. This lawsuit was subsequently joined by the County of Washoe Health District and the City of Sparks. Several lawsuits also have been brought against the ten respondents for alleged property value diminishment. Pursuant to the EPA order, a report on a detailed site investigation, along with a proposed remediation plan, was submitted to the EPA on March 6, 1992. In September 1992, the EPA approved the respondents' remediation plan and an estimate of remediation costs was made in accordance with that plan. During the quarter ended September 30, 1992, the Partnership recorded a $10 million provision for environmental remediation costs at Sparks, Nevada, and two sites in California.
Effective December 10, 1993, Santa Fe Railway entered into an agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("District"), a political subdivision of the State of California, with respect to alleged violations of air emission regulations dating from January 1991. The agreement covers 48 Notices of Violation concerning smoke emissions from 71 locomotives operating in California's South Coast Air Basin. Under the agreement, Santa Fe Railway contributed $173,500 to the District to support its Locomotive Propulsion Systems Task Force Account or other locomotive emissions research or demonstration projects mutually agreed upon by the District and Santa Fe Railway, and contributed $4,000 to be used for certain audit expenses. In addition, Santa Fe Railway has agreed to purchase and install measuring meters and to implement a compliance reporting program to monitor locomotive emissions for an approximate total cost of $300,000.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1993, the EPA issued a Notice of Violations to the Partnership associated with an oxygenate blending equipment malfunction at the Partnership's Phoenix terminal. It is possible that the Partnership will be required to pay in excess of $100,000 in fines arising from this Notice of Violations.
SFP and its subsidiaries also are parties to a number of other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including various governmental proceedings and private civil suits concerning environmental matters. While the final outcome of these and other legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, considering the meritorious legal defenses available, it is the opinion of
SFP management that none of these legal actions, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of SFP.
Reference is made to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements on page 26 of SFP's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders for information concerning certain pending administrative appeals between SFP and the Internal Revenue Service.
