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

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
INTRODUCTION
General Dynamics Corporation (the Company) is a Delaware corporation formed in 1952 as successor to the Electric Boat Company, now the Company's Nuclear Submarines business. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation was merged into the Company in 1954 and from it emerged the Company's former Tactical Military Aircraft and Missile Systems businesses and the Space Launch Systems business. The Material Service Resources Company is the successor to the Material Service Corporation which was merged into the Company in 1959. Chrysler Defense, Inc., now the Company's Armored Vehicles business, was acquired in 1982. The Cessna Aircraft Company, formerly the Company's General Aviation business, was acquired in 1985. In addition, the Company operates other smaller businesses.
Prior to 1992, the businesses of the Company included the following: Tactical Military Aircraft, Nuclear Submarines, Armored Vehicles, Space Launch Systems, Missile Systems and General Aviation. Over the past two years, the Company has sold its Tactical Military Aircraft, Missile Systems and General Aviation businesses, as well as certain other smaller businesses, and the sale of its Space Launch Systems business is expected to close by April 1994. The Company's remaining continuing business segments are Nuclear Submarines, Armored Vehicles and Other. The Other business segment is composed of Freeman Energy Corporation (Freeman), American Overseas Marine Corporation (AMSEA) and Patriot I, II and IV Shipping Corporations (Patriots). A general description of these businesses including products, properties and other related information follows. For financial information and further discussion of the business segments, as well as an overall discussion of the Company's business environment, reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition, appearing on pages 12 through 17 in the Company's 1993 Shareholder Report, included in this Form 10-K-Annual Report as Exhibit 13 and incorporated herein by reference.
NUCLEAR SUBMARINES
The Company's Electric Boat Division (Electric Boat) is a designer and builder of nuclear submarines for the U.S. Navy. Electric Boat also performs overhaul and repair work on submarines as well as a broad range of engineering work including advanced research and technology development, systems and component design evaluation, prototype development and logistics support to the operating fleet. Certain components and subassemblies of the submarines, such as electronic equipment, are produced by other firms.
Electric Boat has contracts for SSN 688-class attack submarines (SSN 688), Trident ballistic missile submarines (Trident) and Seawolf class attack submarines, all of which are currently under construction at its 96 acre shipyard on the Thames River at Groton, Connecticut. The shipyard, which contains a covered area in excess of 2.6 million square feet, is owned by the Company. Electric Boat also produces modular submarine hull sections, components and subassemblies in leased facilities at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and in Company-owned facilities at Avenel, New Jersey and Charleston, South Carolina. Due to the winding down of the SSN 688 and Trident programs, the Company has announced that it plans to close the Charleston facility in early 1994. Approximately 45% of Electric Boat's property, plant and equipment was fully depreciated at 31 December 1993.
Electric Boat competed with Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company (Newport News) for construction of the SSN 688 and Seawolf submarines. Electric Boat is currently the sole-source producer of Trident and Seawolf submarines. For most engineering work, Electric Boat competes in a highly competitive environment with several smaller specialized firms in addition to Newport News.
ARMORED VEHICLES
The Company's Land Systems Division (Land Systems) is the sole-source producer of main battle tanks for the U.S. Government. Land Systems designs and manufactures the M1 Series Abrams Main Battle Tank for the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. Land Systems also performs engineering and upgrade work as well as provides support for existing armored vehicles. Production of the M1A1, a version of the M1 that incorporates increased firepower, additional crew protection features, and improved armor, was initiated in 1985. Production of the M1A2, the latest version of the M1 which incorporates battlefield management systems aimed at providing improved fightability, as well as improved survivability of the tank's four crew members, was initiated in 1992. In addition to domestic sales, M1 tanks are being sold through the U.S. Government to various foreign governments. Land Systems provides training in operation and maintenance and other logistical support on international sales.
- 1 - Certain components of the M1 series tank, such as the engine and the transmission and final drive, are produced by other firms. Land Systems has bid and is currently bidding on other armored vehicle and related programs for the U.S. Government in competition primarily with FMC Corporation. The current international market is characterized by intense competition for a limited number of business opportunities. The Company has been successful in competitive bids for production contracts and related logistic support with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, but was unsuccessful on similar bids with the United Arab Emirates and Sweden.
Tank production is performed at the 1.6 million square foot plant on 370 acres in Lima, Ohio, and machining operations are performed at the 1.2 million square foot plant on 145 acres in Warren (Detroit), Michigan. Each is owned by the U.S. Government and operated by Land Systems under a facilities contract. In support of these plants, Land Systems leases property in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and owns or leases property in various locations in Michigan.
The Company, teamed with Tadiran Ltd. of Israel, was selected during 1988 as the second-source producer of the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS). The Company is currently participating in its first competitive bid under the SINCGARS program with ITT Corporation. A decision on the competition is expected during the first half of 1994. The Company leases space in Tallahassee, Florida to support SINCGARS production.
OTHER
Freeman mines coal, the majority of which is sold in the spot market or under short-term contracts to a variety of customers. Freeman's remaining coal production (approximately 45%) is sold under long-term contracts to utilities and industrial users located principally in the Midwest. Several of these long-term contracts have price adjustment clauses to reflect changes in certain costs of production. Freeman operates three underground mines and one surface mine in Illinois, along with one surface mine in Kentucky. Coal preparation facilities and rail loading facilities are located at each mine sufficient for its output. Total production from Freeman's mines was approximately 5 million tons in 1993, 4.5 million tons in 1992 and 3.6 million tons in 1991. In addition, Freeman owns or leases rights to over 600 million tons of coal reserves in Illinois and Kentucky. Due to the commodity nature of the Company's coal operations, the primary factors affecting competition are price and geographic service area. Freeman's operations are not significantly affected by seasonal variations.
The 1990 Clean Air Act requires, among other things, a phased reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions by coal burning facilities over the next few years. Virtually all of the coal in Freeman's Illinois basin mines has medium or high sulfur content. The impact of compliance with the Clean Air Act will be mitigated in the near-term by Freeman's long-term contracts and through installation of pollution control devices by certain of Freeman's major customers. The long-term impact of the Clean Air Act is not known.
AMSEA provides ship management services for five of the U.S. Navy's Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS) and twelve of the U.S. Maritime Administration's Ready Reserve Force (RRF) ships. The MPS are under five year contracts which expire in 1995 and 1996 but are renewable through the year 2011. The RRF ships are in the first year of five year contracts for which the Company competed with various other ship management providers. The MPS vessels operate worldwide and the RRF vessels are located on the east, gulf and west coasts of the United States. AMSEA's home office is in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Patriots are financing subsidiaries which lease liquefied natural gas tankers constructed by the Company to unrelated third parties.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company has sold or intends to sell certain businesses that are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements. The remaining businesses are as follows:
The Company's Convair Division is the sole-source producer of fuselages for the McDonnell Douglas Corporation (McDonnell Douglas) MD-11 wide body tri-jet aircraft. Production work is performed in San Diego, California in facilities owned by the Company which are on land leased from the San Diego Port Authority.
Material Service Corporation (Material Service) is engaged in the quarrying and direct sale of aggregates (e.g. stone, sand and gravel), and the production and direct sale of ready mix concrete and other concrete products. Material Service's aggregate and concrete facilities and operations are located primarily in Illinois.
- 2 -
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT
As part of the sale of businesses, certain related properties were
retained by the Company. These properties have been segregated on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate held for development. The Company has retained outside experts to support the development of plans which will maximize the market value of these properties. These properties include: 232 acres in Kearny Mesa and 2,420 acres in Sycamore Canyon, both of which are in the vicinity of San Diego, California; 375 acres in Rancho Cucamonga, California; and 53 acres in Camden, Arkansas. Most of this property is undeveloped. The Company owns 3.7 million square feet of building space on the aforementioned properties, as well as .6 million square feet of building space on land leased from the San Diego Port Authority. Certain of these facilities are currently being leased by the purchasers of the related sold businesses for what is expected to be a short transition period.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Backlog - ------- The following table shows the approximate backlog of the Company (excluding discontinued operations) as calculated at 31 December 1993 and 1992 and the portion of the 31 December 1993 backlog not reasonably expected to be filled during 1994 (dollars in millions):
Backlog represents the total estimated remaining sales value of authorized work. Backlog excludes announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, except for amounts funded prior to definitization. Funded backlog includes amounts that have been appropriated by the U.S. Congress, and authorized and funded by the procuring agency. Funded backlog also includes amounts which have been authorized on Foreign Military Sales and long-term coal contracts. Unfunded backlog includes amounts for which there is no assurance that congressional appropriations or agency allotments will be forthcoming. Insofar as the backlog represents orders from the U.S. Government, it is subject to cancellation and other risks associated with government contracts (see "U.S. Government Contracts").
U. S. Government Contracts - -------------------------- The Company's net sales to the U.S. Government include Foreign Military Sales (FMS). FMS are sales to foreign governments through the U.S. Government, whereby the Company contracts with and receives payment from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Government assumes the risk of collection from the customer. U.S. Government sales were as follows (excluding discontinued operations; dollars in millions):
- 3 - All U.S. Government contracts are terminable at the convenience of the U.S. Government, as well as for default. Under contracts terminable at the convenience of the U.S. Government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. Contracts which are terminated for default generally provide that the U.S. Government only pays for the work it has accepted and may require the contractor to pay for the incremental cost of reprocurement and may hold the contractor liable for damages. In 1991, the U.S. Navy terminated the Company's A-12 aircraft contract for default. For further discussion, see Item 3 of this report.
Companies engaged in supplying goods and services to the U.S. Government are dependent on congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, and may be affected by changes in U.S. Government policies resulting from various military and political developments. U.S. Government contracts typically involve long lead times for design and development, and are subject to significant changes in contract scheduling. Often the contracts call for successful design and production of very complex and technologically advanced items.
Foreign Sales and Operations - ---------------------------- The major portion of sales and operating earnings of the Company for the past three years was derived from operations in the United States. Although the Company purchases supplies from and subcontracts with foreign companies, it has no substantial operations in foreign countries. The majority of foreign sales are made as FMS through the U.S. Government, but certain direct foreign sales are made of components and support services. Direct foreign sales were $35 million, $42 million and $50 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The Company has indirect offset commitments relating to foreign contracts, whereby the Company provides economic benefits to the buying country through marketing assistance, technology transfers, direct procurement of products not related to the primary contract, and direct investments.
Research and Development - ------------------------ Research and development activities in the Nuclear Submarines and Armored Vehicles segments are conducted principally under U.S. Government contracts. These research efforts are generally either concerned with developing products for large systems development programs or performing work under research and development technology contracts. In addition, the defense businesses engage in independent research and development, of which a significant portion is recovered through overhead charges to U.S. Government contracts.
The table below details expenditures (excluding discontinued operations) for research and development (dollars in millions):
Supplies - -------- Many items of equipment and components used in the production of the Company's products are purchased from other manufacturers. Although the Company has a broad base of suppliers and subcontractors, it is dependent upon the ability of its suppliers and subcontractors to meet performance and quality specifications and delivery schedules. In some cases it is dependent on one or a few sources, either because of the specialized nature of a particular item or because of domestic preference requirements pursuant to which it operates on a given project.
All of the Company's operations are dependent upon adequate supplies of certain raw materials, such as aluminum and steel, and on adequate supplies of fuel. Fuel or raw material shortages could also have an adverse effect on the Company's suppliers, thus impairing their ability to honor their contractual commitments to the Company. The Company has not experienced serious shortages in any of the raw materials or fuel supplies that are necessary for its production programs.
- 4 - Environmental Controls - ---------------------- Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of materials into the environment and other factors affecting the environment have had and will continue to have an impact on the manufacturing operations of the Company. Thus far, compliance with the requirements has been accomplished without material effect on the Company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. While it is expected that this will continue to be the case, the Company cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.
Patents - ------- Numerous patents and patent applications are owned by the Company and utilized in its development activities and manufacturing operations. It is also licensed under patents owned by others. While in the aggregate its patents and licenses are considered important in the operation of the Company's business, they are not considered of such importance that their loss or termination would materially affect its business. Engineering, production skills and experience are more important to the Company than its patents or licenses.
Employees - --------- From the end of 1991 to the end of 1993, the Company's total employees decreased from about 80,600 to about 30,500. Approximately 70% of this decrease is due to the disposition of businesses in which the employees of the disposed businesses were transferred to the acquiring companies.
At the end of 1993, approximately 40% of the Company's employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements with various unions, the most significant of which are the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the Metal Trades Council of New London, Connecticut, the United Auto Workers Union (UAW), the Office and Professional Employees International Union and the United Mine Workers of America. During 1994, three collective bargaining agreements, which cover approximately 20% of the union represented work force, are scheduled to expire and are subject to negotiations with the respective unions, the most significant of which is the UAW at Land Systems.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, the Company is a defendant in U.S. vs. Davis et al, a civil action in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York in which the U.S. Government alleges claims under the Civil False Claims Act. A judgment in favor of the Company was entered on 2 October 1992. On 4 January 1993, the U.S. Government appealed the District Court's judgment in favor of the Company. This appeal is now pending.
On 7 January 1991, the U.S. Navy terminated for default a contract with the Company and McDonnell Douglas for the full-scale development of the U.S. Navy's A-12 aircraft. The U.S. Navy has demanded repayment of unliquidated progress payments, but agreed to defer collection pending resolution of the termination dispute. The Company and McDonnell Douglas filed a complaint in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to contest the default termination. A trial on Count XVII of the complaint, which relates to the propriety of the termination for default, was concluded in October 1993. In December 1993, the Court issued preliminary findings of fact which appear favorable to the Company and McDonnell Douglas. The Court will not issue a decision before 21 July 1994, during which time other counts in the complaint will be prepared for decision. For further discussion, see Note P to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on page 29 in the Company's 1993 Shareholder Report, included in this Form 10-K-Annual Report as Exhibit 13 and incorporated herein by reference. The Company believes that ultimately it will be found not to have been in default of the contract.
The Company is a defendant in a shareholders' derivative action filed in the California Superior Court for San Diego County on 17 January 1991. The suit was dismissed by the court on 10 May 1993, because the plaintiffs failed to make a demand on the Board of Directors of the Company prior to bringing action. The period to amend the complaint has expired.
- 5 - On 8 March 1993, a class action lawsuit, Berchin et al vs. General Dynamics Corporation and William A. Anders, was filed in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit alleges violations of various provisions of federal securities laws, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty by the defendants with regard to disclosures made, or omitted, in the Company's tender offer completed in July 1992 and the subsequent divestiture of core businesses. The Company believes there is no liability in connection with this matter and intends to vigorously defend itself.
The Company is directly or indirectly involved in seventeen Superfund sites in which the Company, along with other major U.S. corporations, has been designated a potentially responsible party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state environmental agency with respect to past shipments of hazardous waste to sites now requiring environmental cleanup.
Chatham Brothers Barrel Yard is a hazardous waste disposal site located near Escondido, California. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control is overseeing a cleanup of the site pursuant to California state laws and is seeking to recover its costs from a variety of PRPs, including the Company and several other major corporations in the aerospace and petroleum industries. To date, California has incurred about $8.7 million in costs, and estimates an additional $40 million to $60 million in investigation and remediation costs. Under the California equivalent of the federal Superfund law, all of the PRPs are jointly and severally liable to the State of California for these costs.
The Casmalia Resources site is a former industrial waste disposal facility located near Santa Maria, California. Since March 1993, the Company and a large number of other PRPs have been negotiating with the EPA to fund and perform an environmental cleanup of this site. Site investigation studies are now just beginning, but estimates of total remediation costs have ranged from $30 million to $150 million.
The Company is also involved in the cleanup and remediation of various conditions at sites it currently or formerly owned or operated, many of which were sites used in the conduct of the Company's government contracting business. The Company believes that a portion of these costs are recoverable under government contracts. The Company has defenses to liability in some cases, and in other cases the Company is acting to mitigate and minimize its potential liability. The Company is participating in steering committees and taking other actions to establish its percentage liability on an allocated and sharing basis with other PRPs. Although the Company's involvement and the extent of the remediation varies from site to site, the Company believes, based upon an analysis of each site, that its liability at the sites will not be deemed material to the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act (the Act), a disabled coal miner with coal worker's pneumoconiosis may be entitled to monthly compensation for life. Approximately 50 claims for benefits under the Act by former employees of Freeman are pending and are in various stages of procedure, including a substantial number which are being contested by the Company. The claims are reviewed by Administrative Law Judges of the U.S. Department of Labor for determination of questions of disability and compensation. Freeman has outstanding approximately 40 claims which have been filed under the Illinois Occupational Disease Act. Many of the claims are disputed. The Company has established liabilities, on an actuarial basis, to pay for the estimated costs of any benefits that are ultimately awarded.
The Company is also a defendant in other lawsuits and claims and in other investigations of varying nature. The Company believes these proceedings, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
