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

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Eagle Industries, Inc. ("Eagle" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation, its principal executive offices are located at Two North Riverside Plaza, Suite 1100, Chicago, Illinois 60606 and its telephone number is (312) 906-8700. Eagle has grown from revenues of approximately $250 million in 1987 to $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 1993. This growth has been generated primarily through acquisitions. Eagle is currently comprised of 16 businesses operating in five segments. These businesses generally are low and medium technology industrial companies in niche markets. They primarily service the residential and commercial construction, electric utility, chemical and pharmaceutical, commercial aviation, automotive aftermarket, consumer yarn and commercial refrigeration markets.
From its inception, much of the Company's growth has come from acquisitions. The Company's acquisition philosophy has been to acquire "underperforming" manufacturing companies that have the potential to become market leaders and low cost producers through the application of Eagle's cost reduction and quality improvement strategies. Eagle generally has sought companies that serve basic industrial niche
markets. To enhance its position within these market niches, the Company has pursued and completed over 21 "add-on" acquisitions to profitably expand product lines and geographical scope. Eagle has also divested 16 businesses for total proceeds of over $500 million. A substantial portion of these proceeds were used to reduce debt levels.
HISTORY
In February 1987, Great American Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI") consolidated its basic manufacturing businesses by capitalizing Eagle with Lapp Insulator Company ("Lapp") and various businesses which were previously a part of Clevepak Corporation ("Clevepak"). In April 1987, Eagle purchased The Pfaudler Companies, Inc. ("Pfaudler") and in February of 1988, Eagle purchased The DeVilbiss Company ("DeVilbiss"). In September 1989, Eagle purchased Amerace Corporation ("Amerace"), and certain indirect subsidiaries of GAMI acquired The Jepson Corporation ("Jepson"). In January 1991, GAMI, through its subsidiaries, contributed Jepson to Eagle and concurrent with becoming a subsidiary of Eagle, Jepson changed its name to Falcon Manufacturing, Inc. ("Falcon").
Effective as of September 25, 1992 GAMI, and its subsidiaries consummated a restructuring (the "Restructuring"). Pursuant to the Restructuring, among other things, (i) Eagle sold the net assets of Equality Specialties, Inc. ("Equality") to GAMI for approximately $17 million; (ii) GAMI contributed, through certain subsidiaries, all of the outstanding stock owned by it in North Riverside Holdings, Inc. ("North Riverside") to Eagle; (iii) Eagle declared a stock dividend to facilitate the Distribution, as defined below (the effect of which was negated by a reverse stock split in December 1993); and (iv) Great American Financial Group, Inc. (formerly Great American Industrial Group, Inc.) ("GAFG") distributed all of the outstanding Eagle common stock owned by it to GAMI. For a discussion of the accounting treatment of the foregoing transactions, see Note 1 and Note 12 to the Eagle Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements ("Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements").
On September 25, 1992, the Board of Directors of GAMI authorized the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Eagle Common Stock"), to holders of GAMI common stock (the "Distribution"). On October 29, 1992, the GAMI Board of Directors delayed the consummation of and on October 13, 1993 decided not to complete the Distribution.
BUSINESS
Eagle is currently comprised of 16 businesses operating in five business segments. The five business segments are: the Building Products Group, the Electrical Products Group, the Industrial Products Group, the Automotive Products Group and the Specialty Products Group. These businesses generally are low and medium technology, industrial companies in niche markets. They primarily service the residential and commercial construction, electric utility, commercial aviation, chemical and pharmaceutical, automotive aftermarket, craft and consumer yarn and commercial refrigeration markets. See Note 16 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information regarding industry segments and geographic data.
BUILDING PRODUCTS GROUP
The Building Products Group consists of three businesses which manufacture and distribute building products primarily for the residential and commercial construction and home improvement markets. Products manufactured by this group include air distribution and handling equipment, bathroom plumbing fixtures and light-duty air compressors.
The building products industry relies primarily on the residential and commercial construction markets. The residential construction market is largely dependent on housing starts and remodeling/do-it-yourself ("DIY") projects. Housing starts and remodeling/DIY projects are generally a function of new household formation, mortgage rates, inflation, unemployment and gross national product growth. Since fiscal 1990, the decline in residential housing starts resulted in excess manufacturing capacity and pricing pressures in this industry. More recently, this trend has started to reverse as a result of lower mortgage rates and improved consumer confidence. The Company believes that future growth in revenue and earnings for companies
operating in this industry is dependent upon the housing and construction markets in North America, increased international business, quality and customer service, and further market penetration with new products and within niches.
Air Distribution and Handling Equipment
Hart & Cooley is a manufacturer of residential and commercial air distribution and air handling products in the North American market. Hart & Cooley manufactures more than 6,000 items primarily for the residential and, to a lesser extent, commercial heating ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") markets, including metal grilles, registers and diffusers, metal and plastic chimney vent systems, flexible ducts, terminal units and electric duct heaters. Products are generally produced on a high-volume, low cost basis, however, the standard product line is supplemented with custom-engineered products designed to meet specific size or performance requirements.
Residential and commercial products are marketed to HVAC contractors primarily through wholesale distributors. In order to provide high quality service and convenience to HVAC contractors, the Company services its distribution network through a direct field sales staff which is supported by a customer service group located at Hart & Cooley's headquarters. These products are marketed under the Hart & Cooley(R), Metlvent(R) and Ultravent(R) trade names. Commercial/industrial registers, grilles, diffusers, terminal units, louvers and electric duct heaters are marketed primarily to HVAC contractors through manufacturers' representatives under the Tuttle & Bailey(R) trade name. Key competitive considerations in the HVAC market are delivery time, quality and proximity to distributors.
Bathroom Plumbing Fixtures
Mansfield is a manufacturer of ceramic, vitreous china and enameled steel bathroom plumbing fixtures, including lavatories, toilet bowls and tanks and brass and plastic fittings. These products are sold primarily to the residential construction markets and, to a lesser extent, to commercial markets.
Mansfield competes primarily with regional manufacturers, and to a lesser extent with national manufacturers. Management believes that there are approximately eight other regional competitors. Mansfield's emphasis on quality control and customer service has enabled it to charge slightly higher prices for its products. As part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the manufacture of 3.5 gallon per flush toilets for residential use is prohibited after January 1, 1994. In the past three years, Mansfield has introduced four new models of ceramic toilet bowls which use 1.6 gallons per flush, approximately 55% less than the average water volume used per flush in existing toilet bowls, while still preserving the simplicity of conventional plumbing fixtures.
Ceramic bathroom fixtures and brass and plastic fittings are marketed through manufacturers' representatives to plumbing wholesalers and plumbing fixture manufacturers, and to the retail hardware and DIY markets through wholesalers, packagers, and mass merchants. The market is divided into: manufacturers that distribute nationally, service all market segments and have broad product lines; and regional manufacturers that distribute regionally, tend to emphasize marketing at the wholesale level and have narrower product lines.
Air Products
DeVilbiss Air Power is a North American supplier of light-duty air compressors for the commercial and consumer, building and construction markets. DeVilbiss Air Power manufactures a broad line of portable and stationary air compressors in the 3/4 to 6 horsepower range and also sells a variety of accessories such as paint spray guns, air hoses, pneumatic tools and other related items. DeVilbiss Air Power's products are primarily used for painting, stapling and nailing applications for home improvement and building. DeVilbiss Air Power was the first company to introduce oil-free technology to light-duty air compressors, and since 1979 has been the primary supplier of Craftsman(R) air compressors to Sears Roebuck & Company ("Sears"). Sales to Sears account for a significant amount of the sales of the Building Products Group. Eagle restructured DeVilbiss Air Power in 1989 by constructing a new manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tennessee.
In fiscal 1991, DeVilbiss Air Power acquired the Energair division ("Energair") of the Ingersoll-Rand Company, whose strong market position in the home center and warehouse club outlets, has strengthened DeVilbiss Air Power's position in the DIY and refurbishing markets under such trade names as Charge Air Pro(R), Air America(R) and Pro Air II(R). DeVilbiss Air Power also manufactures air compressors under private-label programs, which has further expanded its customer and distribution base.
ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS GROUP
The Electrical Products Group consists of two broad groups of businesses, those providing electrical power distribution products for the electric utility market and those supplying electrical control products for electrical equipment manufacturers. The principal products manufactured by these businesses include medium voltage electric cable, underground cable accessories, and interconnect and timing devices.
The electrical products industry is largely dependent on utility transmission and distribution expenditures, new construction and spending levels of those manufacturers who supply electrical equipment to the utility industry. Spending for utility transmission equipment has been at historically low levels for the last several years and has not yet begun to improve. This has resulted in excess industry capacity and continued pricing pressures. Eagle believes that future growth in revenue and earnings in this industry is largely dependent on increased electric utility capital spending from the currently depressed levels and further recovery of the residential and commercial construction markets in North America.
Electrical Power Distribution Products
Major products manufactured by these businesses for the electrical power distribution market include: Elastimold's pre-molded terminators, separable connectors, cable joints and surge arrestors for underground power distribution systems; and Hendrix's residential power distribution cables, aerial cable systems and medium voltage accessory products.
Elastimold is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of underground medium and high voltage cable accessories for the electric utility industry in North America. The majority of Elastimold's products are used for power distribution systems and are related to housing starts. Elastimold has established joint ventures and partnerships in Europe and Asia to increase Elastimold's distribution base.
These businesses market their products through a number of distribution channels, including manufacturers' representatives, original equipment manufacturers and authorized distributors, as well as through a direct sales staff. Elastimold's electrical products are marketed directly to North American, Canadian and European electric utilities through a direct sales staff, manufacturers' representatives and authorized distributors. Elastimold also maintains a world-wide presence through joint ventures in western Europe, Japan and Taiwan. Hendrix markets its products primarily to electric utilities and electrical equipment manufacturers through a network of manufacturers and distributors.
Since the electrical power distribution products are used primarily in the transmission and distribution of electricity, their operating performance depends in part on the demand for residential and commercial construction. Although not heavily dependent upon the construction of new power plants, these companies' business prospects are closely tied to the electric utility industry.
Industrial Electrical Products
Eagle's Industrial Electrical Products Group consists of four businesses, hereinafter referred to as IEP. These businesses provide products that serve a wide variety of markets with a number of recognized names such as: Agastat(R) timers and protective relays; Buchanan(R) electrical terminal blocks and electronic connectors; Russellstoll(R) medium to high amperage electrical connectors; pin and sleeve plug and receptacle connector devices for the world-wide refrigerated container industry. In addition, these businesses manufacture and distribute airfield transformers, connector kits and cable assemblies. The product lines are sold through an extensive distributor network, supplemented with direct sales to original equipment manufacturers and to end users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.
Eagle has undertaken an extensive cost reduction program since acquiring the IEP companies in 1989. As a major part of that plan, Eagle relocated one of IEP's principal manufacturing facilities from New Jersey to Florida in the first quarter of 1993 in order to improve productivity and quality control, enhance manufacturing efficiencies and increase labor flexibility.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS GROUP
The Industrial Products Group consists of three businesses that manufacture and distribute products for the chemical/pharmaceutical, process industries and commercial aviation markets. Products manufactured and distributed include reactor and storage vessels, fluid mixing and agitation equipment and commercial airline seating.
The chemical process industry is largely dependent on capital expenditures by chemical and pharmaceutical producers. Domestically, capital spending over the past few years has been less than anticipated by published industry forecasts. However, the pharmaceutical segment of the chemical process industry has shown continued growth. Both domestically and in Europe, Eagle's business is focused on the pharmaceutical segment. Eagle's operations in Europe continue to be negatively affected by the depressed economy in Germany.
The financial difficulties experienced by the domestic airline industry have resulted in a reduction in capital spending for commercial aircraft and associated equipment. However, Burns Aerospace ("Burns") derives approximately 65% of its aviation business from the foreign aviation market, which has not been as adversely affected as the domestic industry. Eagle believes that future revenue and earnings growth for the Industrial Products Group is largely dependent on worldwide capital spending in the chemical and aviation industries.
Process Industries Products
Major products manufactured for the process industries markets include: lined and coated reactor and storage vessels, heat exchangers, mixers and evaporators, columns and accessories, and agitators and static mixers.
Pfaudler is a producer of glass-lined reactor and storage vessels, which are custom-ordered and designed for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Pfaudler's sales exceed those of its major competitor. Pfaudler's products are manufactured in six facilities operating in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and a joint venture interest in India. This arrangement allows Pfaudler to respond quickly to market demands for both sales and service. Replacement parts and service represent a significant portion of revenues.
Pfaudler's products are available in a broad range of construction materials, such as glass-lined steel fluoropolymers, exotic metals and alloys. These vessels, together with accessories such as agitators and baffles, are marketed under the trade name Glasteel(R). In pharmaceutical applications, Glasteel(R) protects the color and purity of the products being processed.
Chemineer is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of agitators and static mixers for fluid processing applications, which range from sophisticated polymerization and fermentation processes to simple storage operations. Chemineer's products include its line of HT Series turbine agitators, which use rotary action to produce motion in a fluid; side-entering agitators; static mixers, which are continuous mixing and processing devices with no moving parts; and small portable agitators. Competition is based primarily on application engineering and customer service. Replacement parts and service account for a significant portion of revenues. Chemineer's products are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, paint, coatings, petrochemical, food processing and water treatment industries.
Chemineer's products are marketed worldwide to a diverse customer base, with products being sold primarily through manufacturers' representatives and sales representative organizations. Chemineer also maintains direct sales offices in Houston, Texas, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Chemineer established a research and development facility to focus on the development of new products and on applied
research. Chemineer recently has introduced computer technology to perform on-site customized application engineering.
Commercial Aviation Products
Burns manufactures and refurbishes commercial airline seating, including passenger, observer and flight attendant seating. In addition, Burns manufactures various spare parts, including seat cushions and covers for aftermarket sale in the commercial aircraft markets.
Burns sells its Innovator(R), Airest(R) 5, Airest(R) 202 and Airest(R) Commuter seating products primarily to the major air carriers in the United States and Europe. Over the past four years, Burns has been able to successfully diversify its customer base from a domestic regional orientation to an international mix. Burns derives approximately 65% of its new seat revenues from foreign carriers.
AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS GROUP
Eagle has three primary businesses which serve various sectors of the automotive aftermarket: Mighty Distributing System of America ("Mighty"), The Parts House ("Parts House") and Denman Tire ("Denman"). Major products produced and/or distributed to the automotive markets include: automotive parts and accessories and specialty pneumatic tires. Clevaflex manufactures and distributes multi-ply flexible tubing for carburetor air ducts to original equipment manufacturers in the automotive market.
Mighty and Parts House distribute automotive parts and accessories principally throughout the United States. Mighty is an owner and operator of automotive parts franchise operations and has over 150 franchises nationwide and one distribution center that sell automotive parts in the aftermarket to professional dealers and installers. Mighty also markets new territories and re-markets existing territories to generate franchise fee revenues. Mighty repackages and distributes Mighty private label auto parts to franchisees and other company locations, and owns and operates nine locations directly. Parts House, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is a wholesale distributor of nationally branded automotive parts and accessories serving primarily the Southeast region of the United States and operates through three principal distribution centers.
Denman manufactures and distributes over 1,000 different types of specialty pneumatic tires, including tires for classic and racing automobiles, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, light and medium duty trucks and farm, mining and other industrial vehicles. Denman's products are marketed nationally under both the Denman brand name and the private label names of certain Denman customers. Denman distributes its tires primarily through five major wholesale distributors, and services its customers through a direct sales force. Substantially all of Denman's sales are to the replacement tire market.
Clevaflex manufactures and distributes multi-ply, flexible tubing for carburetor air ducts used in automobile emission systems and other automotive-engine compartment applications. Clevaflex has a direct sales force which distributes its products to original equipment manufacturers in the automotive markets. Approximately 80% of Clevaflex's sales are made directly to domestic automobile manufacturers, including General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Corporation, with additional sales to certain foreign automobile manufacturers for use in models produced in the United States.
SPECIALTY PRODUCTS GROUP
The Specialty Products Group consists of businesses which manufacture and distribute commercial refrigeration equipment and consumer products. Businesses within the group manufacture refrigerated display cases and hand knitting and craft yarns. In addition, the group includes a designer and distributor of ski and rugged outerwear. The Specialty Products Group is largely dependent on trends in consumer spending and overall consumer confidence. The Company believes that future growth in revenue and earnings for the Specialty Products Group is dependent on consumer spending.
Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
Hill Refrigeration ("Hill") manufactures commercial refrigeration equipment, including refrigeration and non-refrigeration display cabinets, condensing units and refrigeration systems, and related equipment for sale to food retailers.
Principal products in this market include refrigerated display cases that merchandise and protect perishables such as meat, deli products, frozen foods, dairy products and produce. To enhance manufacturing efficiencies, cases are configured to use common design parts and are produced in two basic lengths. However, to meet specific needs of the customer, Hill offers many options and special accessories. In addition, because energy efficiency is a significant consideration in case purchases, Hill offers sophisticated controls and patented features to reduce operating costs for its customers. Hill equipment is sold through a direct sales force to leading supermarket chains, food wholesalers and government commissaries. Smaller food chains are serviced through a network of independent distributors who buy and re-sell equipment.
In 1993, the Company closed Hill's Canadian facility and consolidated those operations with its Trenton, New Jersey facility. In an effort to reduce manufacturing costs and to simplify manufacturing processes, Hill initiated a project to redesign its commercial refrigeration cases in 1993. This redesign has led to a decision to restructure Hill's Trenton, New Jersey manufacturing facility. Accordingly, in 1993, the Company reduced the book value of its Trenton, New Jersey plant by approximately $20 million as it reviews relocation options.
Consumer Products
Eagle has two businesses which serve various consumer markets: Gerry Sportswear ("Gerry") and Caron International ("Caron"). Gerry designs and markets ski and rugged outerwear. Caron is a manufacturer and distributor of acrylic hand knitting and craft yarns and a producer of craft kits. The yarn products include a broad line of acrylic fibers in a wide assortment of weights and colors with varying textures. Craft kits are sold under the Wonder Art(R) name and include latch hook, stamped goods, craft dolls and yarn kits. Caron markets its yarn products and craft kits directly to major retailers through its own sales force. Caron's customer base includes all major distribution channels, including mass merchants, chain stores, fabric stores and craft and specialty stores. As part of a cost reduction program which the Company undertook in 1993, Caron closed its London, Kentucky manufacturing facility, consolidating the London operation into its other locations.
COMPETITION
Eagle faces competition in each of the various product lines from numerous firms within the United States and internationally. Businesses within the Building Products Group, the Electrical Products Group, Automotive Products Group and the Specialty Products Group compete primarily with several domestic competitors in their various markets. Pfaudler competes primarily with one major competitor on a world-wide basis. The other businesses within the Industrial Products Group compete primarily with several domestic competitors in their various markets. Eagle strives to position its businesses as market leaders, desiring to achieve a position as one of the top three suppliers in each of the individual markets which its businesses serve. Eagle's businesses compete with other companies on the basis of price, service, product quality, availability and delivery. Certain of Eagle's competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than Eagle.
SEASONALITY, WORKING CAPITAL AND CYCLICALITY
Sales of certain of Eagle's products are subject to seasonal variation. Seasonal factors historically have not had a significant affect on working capital requirements as Eagle has been able to adjust its production to meet these seasonal demands. Sales of products manufactured within the Building Products Group are primarily dependent on residential and commercial construction markets and home improvement. Sales of certain products manufactured within the Electrical Products Group are also dependent on the construction industry. Due to seasonal factors associated with the construction industry, sales of these products are higher during the spring and summer building seasons than at other times of the year. Most of the industries in which the Company competes are particularly sensitive to changes in the economy. The nation's most recent recession had an adverse impact on the Company's sales and profitability. Future downturns in the economy would
negatively affect the Company's operating results. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
RAW MATERIALS, SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS
Eagle purchases raw materials, principally steel, aluminum, alloy metals, clay and other supplies from numerous domestic and foreign suppliers. These raw materials and other supplies are generally available. Eagle's businesses market their products to numerous domestic and foreign customers. As previously discussed, Sears accounts for a significant amount of sales in the Building Products Group, however, this amount is not significant to Eagle's consolidated net sales. See "Business" above.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Eagle and its subsidiaries invest in research and development of new products. See Note 2 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding research and development expenses.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND FRANCHISES
There are several registered patents and trademarks used by businesses within the Building Products Group, the Electrical Products Group, the Industrial Products Group, the Automotive Products Group and the Specialty Products Group, none of which are individually significant to the consolidated operations of Eagle. Eagle's businesses do not materially rely on any single patent, license or franchise.
BACKLOG
The following table indicates the approximate backlog for each of Eagle's business groups as of the dates indicated. Approximately $44 million of the backlog at December 31, 1993 is expected to be shipped in 1995 or after, substantially all of which relates to Burns.
OTHER MATTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Eagle's subsidiaries, as manufacturing companies, are subject to various environmental laws concerning, for example, emissions to the air, discharges into water and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other materials. In addition to costs associated with regulatory compliance, companies such as those within Eagle, which in prior years have disposed of hazardous material at various sites, may be liable under various federal and state laws for the costs of the clean-up of such sites. It is impossible to predict accurately Eagle's future expenditures for environmental matters; however, Eagle anticipates that future environmental requirements will become more stringent, which may result in increased expenditures. It is Eagle's policy to take all reasonable measures to control and eliminate pollution resulting from its operations. Eagle believes that as a general matter its policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, medical services and safety and loss prevention are adequate to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental and other damage, and the resulting financial liability.
Eagle believes, based on consultations with legal counsel and environmental consultants and its own reviews of the nature and extent of potential liabilities, that compliance with existing environmental protection laws, including those requiring clean-up of hazardous waste, will not have a material adverse effect on Eagle's financial position, results of operations or competitive position. The Company believes that it has adequate reserves. The amounts spent by Eagle on environmental expenditures were not material to Eagle's results of operations and financial position in the year ended December 31, 1993, the five months ended December 31, 1992 or in fiscal 1992 or 1991. It is impossible, however, to predict with certainty the level of expenditures with respect to any such obligations, in part because a substantial portion of any expenditure is a function of unsettled and evolving enforcement and regulatory policies in states where Eagle conducts its business.
EMPLOYEES
Eagle's continuing operations employed approximately 9,400 employees as of December 31, 1993. Approximately 3,800 employees are represented by 24 unions. Collective bargaining is conducted on a subsidiary-by-subsidiary basis with local unions belonging to various national and international unions. Management believes that labor relations are satisfactory at all subsidiaries.
ITEM 2.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Eagle believes its manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities are adequate for its current and foreseeable requirements. Eagle's principal facilities consist of the following:
- ------------------------- (a) Substantially all domestic properties owned by Eagle and its subsidiaries are subject to mortgages granted to financial institutions under its credit facilities. See Note 5 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding indebtedness of Eagle and its subsidiaries.
(b) Eagle leases this property from affiliates of GAMI.
ITEM 3.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Eagle and its subsidiaries are defendants in several lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe, based on the advice of counsel, that any of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on Eagle's financial position or results of operations.

PART II
ITEM 5.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As a result of the Restructuring, Eagle became a wholly owned subsidiary of GAMI, and as such, had one stockholder subsequent to September 25, 1992. Pursuant to the Restructuring, Eagle declared a stock dividend, resulting in 11,077,261 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In December, 1993, Eagle declared a reverse stock split of 1/11,077 per share of common stock resulting in the Company having 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. At March 15, 1994, Eagle had 1,000 shares of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding, all of which was held by GAMI.
Eagle paid a $30.0 million cash dividend to its corporate parent out of earnings in February 1991. Eagle does not currently intend to pay dividends to its stockholder. Eagle's dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by its Board of Directors in light of Eagle's earnings, financial position and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. In addition, the amount of cash dividends, if any, which may be paid on the Eagle Common Stock is restricted by debt agreements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Disaffiliation Agreement" and Note 5 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of restrictions on the ability of Eagle to pay dividends.
As discussed in Note 17 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements, in January 1994 the Company received $50 million from GAMI in the form of a capital contribution.

ITEM 7.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
GENERAL
Effective December 16, 1992, Eagle changed its year end from July 31 to December 31. Information for the year ended December 31, 1992 and for the five months ended December 31, 1991 is unaudited and has been presented for comparative purposes only.
As disclosed in Notes 2 and 7 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements, Eagle adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 effective January 1, 1993. By adopting this standard, Eagle reduced its net deferred tax assets by $3.5 million and recorded a corresponding charge of $3.5 million.
As disclosed in Note 2 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements, Eagle adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 112 effective December 31, 1993. By adopting this standard, Eagle increased its accrued expenses by $3.0 million and recorded a corresponding pretax charge of $3.0 million.
As disclosed in Note 6 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements, Eagle adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 in the first quarter of fiscal 1992. By adopting this standard, Eagle recorded a cumulative adjustment of $24.2 million by reducing its then recorded postretirement benefits liability to the discounted present value of expected future benefits attributed to employees' service rendered prior to August 1, 1991, and recorded a corresponding $24.2 million non-cash pretax benefit.
In 1993, the Company redefined its industry segments to add an Automotive Products Group and realign its Building Products and Specialty Products Groups. Prior periods' results of operations have been restated to reflect the reclassifications.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992
Net Sales
Following are net sales by business group:
Excluding the effects of acquisitions, consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $16.3 or 1.5% higher than net sales for the year ended December 31, 1992. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at the Company's automotive parts distribution businesses, Denman, Hart & Cooley, Mansfield and Hill partially offset by declines at Burns, Pfaudler and Caron.
Net sales of $372.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Building Products Group were $27.1 million or 7.9% higher than in the 1992 period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at Mansfield and increased volume and to a lesser extent improved pricing at Hart & Cooley. These increases were primarily the result of improvement in the residential construction market.
Net sales of $176.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Electrical Products Group were $8.1 million or 4.8% higher than in the 1992 period. Approximately $2.4 million of the increase was due to a product line acquisition made by Elastimold. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to increased volume and improved pricing at Hendrix and increased international volume at Elastimold.
Net sales of $241.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Industrial Products Group were $38.8 million or 13.9% lower than in the 1992 period. This decrease was due to lower volume at Pfaudler due to a decline in European sales and lower volume at Burns due to decreased expenditures in the aviation industry and a large order in the 1992 period, which was not repeated in 1993. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in volume at Chemineer, which was partially offset by reduced pricing.
Net sales of $164.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Automotive Products Group were $24.4 million or 17.5% higher than in the 1992 period. This increase was primarily due to increased volume at Denman and as a result of an increase in the customer base at the automotive parts distribution businesses.
Net sales of $187.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Specialty Products Group were $2.1 million or 1.1% lower than in the 1992 period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in volume at Caron related to the sale of its industrial yarn product line in 1992, which accounted for $6.5 million of the decrease, as well as continued softness in consumer discretionary spending. This decrease was partially offset by increased volume at Hill, partially offset by reduced pricing.
Gross Earnings
Consolidated gross earnings of $224.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $2.2 million lower than in the 1992 period. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume and to a lesser extent competitive pricing in the Industrial Products Group, a write-down of inventory at Burns and a decrease in volume at Caron. Consolidated gross margin of 19.7% in 1993 was down from 20.2% in the comparable 1992 period.
Operating Income
Following is operating income by business group:
Consolidated operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $12.9 million compared to operating income of $62.8 million in 1992. This decrease was primarily due to the recording of $71.8 million of restructuring charges in the third and fourth quarter of 1993. Excluding these restructuring charges and $1.7 million of restructuring charges recorded in 1992, operating income decreased $5.7 million or 8.8%. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume at Pfaudler, Burns and Caron, and a write-down of certain inventory and receivables at Burns of $6.7 million. The decline was partially offset by increased sales volume at Denman and the Company's automotive parts distribution businesses and an increase in price and volume at Hendrix and Hart & Cooley.
Several of the Company's businesses recorded restructuring charges totaling $71.8 million in the third and fourth quarter of 1993. Elastimold recorded charges of $0.6 million related to an early retirement program. IEP recorded charges of $2.0 million for additional costs associated with the relocation of one of its manufacturing facilities from New Jersey to Florida. Pfaudler recorded charges of $2.0 million, principally for the downsizing of certain of its foreign operations. Caron recorded charges of $6.2 million for the shut down of its London, Kentucky facility. Hill recorded charges of $8.8 million for the shut down of its Canadian facility. Hill also recorded charges of $52.2 million for the write-down of certain assets including property, plant and equipment of $19.4 million and goodwill of $25.8 million associated with its studies regarding the reconfiguration and/or relocation of its Trenton, New Jersey plant. See Note 8 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed description of the restructuring charges.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Building Products Group was $3.4 million or 7.7% higher than in 1992. This increase was primarily due to improved pricing and increased volume at Hart & Cooley, partially offset by decreases at Mansfield due to decreased pricing and higher operating costs. Operating margin for the group was 12.8% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.
Excluding the effects of restructuring charges, income for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Electrical Products Group was $0.4 million or 2.6% higher than in 1992. Improved pricing at Hendrix and reduced manufacturing costs at IEP were offset by declines at Elastimold caused by decreased earnings at its European joint venture. Excluding the effects of restructuring charges, operating margins were 9.9% and 10.0% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Excluding restructuring charges of $2.0 million in 1993 and $1.7 million in 1992, the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Industrial Products Group was $0.9 million compared to operating income of $13.4 million in 1992. The decrease was due primarily to decreased pricing at Chemineer, lower volume and prices at Burns, the write-down of certain receivables and inventory at Burns and lower volume at Pfaudler. Excluding the effects of restructuring charges and the write-down of accounts receivables and inventory in 1993 and restructuring charges in 1992, operating margins were 2.4% and 4.8% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Automotive Products Group was $2.6 million or 72.5% higher than in 1992. This increase was primarily due to increased sales volume at Denman and the automotive parts distribution businesses. Operating margins were 3.8% and 2.6% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Excluding restructuring charges, operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1993 for the Specialty Products Group was $0.4 million compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million in 1992. The improvement was primarily due to increased volume at Hill partially offset by decreased volume at Caron. Excluding the effects of restructuring charges, operating margins were (0.2)% and (0.5)% for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $1.7 million or 13.1% lower than in the 1992 period. This decrease was primarily due to a one time curtailment gain of $1.3 million associated with a pension plan.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense related to continuing operations was $67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $63.8 million for the comparable 1992 period. This increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income (see Note 12 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements).
Loss From Continuing Operations (Before Income Taxes)
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $80.0 million. This was due to restructuring charges and the write-down of certain accounts receivables and inventory totaling $78.5 million. In addition, as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, the Refinancing is expected to generate annual savings of at least $20 million in interest expense.
Income Tax Provision
The Company's tax benefit for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1993 reflected the significant amount of non-deductible expenses including the write-down of goodwill balances and goodwill amortization. See Note 7 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a further analysis of the effective tax rate.
FIVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992 AS COMPARED TO FIVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1991
Net Sales
Following are net sales by business group:
Excluding the effects of acquisitions, consolidated net sales for the five months ended December 31, 1992 were $20.5 million or 4.7% higher than net sales for the five months ended December 31, 1991. The increase was primarily due to increased volume at Hart & Cooley, Mansfield, Elastimold, Denman and DeVilbiss Air Power, partially offset by declines at Chemineer and Caron. Net sales increased $4.3 million due to the effect
of an acquisition within the Company's Automotive Products Group during the five months ended December 31, 1991.
Net sales of $150.1 million for the Building Products Group were $21.4 million or 16.6% higher than net sales for the five months ended December 31, 1991. This was primarily due to increased volume attained by all businesses within this group. Contributing to this increase were increased sales to customers in Mexico by Mansfield of $1.7 million and increased sales to Sears by DeVilbiss Air Power of $6.5 million.
Net sales of $66.2 million for the Electrical Products Group were $4.0 million or 6.4% higher than net sales for the five months ended December 31, 1991. This was primarily due to increased international volume at Elastimold.
Net sales of $100.5 million for the Industrial Products Group were $0.2 million or 0.2% lower than net sales for the five months ended December 31, 1991. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 million decline in sales at Chemineer, partially offset by an increase of $3.0 million at Burns.
Net sales of $58.9 in the Automotive Products Group were $11.9 million or 25.3% higher than the net sales for five months ended December 31, 1991. Approximately $4.3 million of the increase reflects the effect of an acquisition within the Company's automotive parts distribution businesses. Sales also increased at Denman and Eagle's automotive parts distribution businesses.
Net sales in the Specialty Products Group were $12.3 million or 12.9% lower than the net sales for five months ended December 31, 1991. This decrease was primarily due to declines at Caron and Gerry caused by continued softness in consumer discretionary spending and, to a lesser extent, the sale of Caron's industrial yarn product line.
Gross Earnings
Consolidated gross earnings of $90.2 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 were virtually unchanged from gross earnings of $89.8 million for the five months ended December 31, 1991. The consolidated gross margin declined to 19.7% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 from 20.7% for the five months ended December 31, 1991 due primarily to competitive pricing pressures and changes in product mix in many of Eagle's businesses. Many of the Company's businesses reduced sales prices in order to remain competitive and/or to gain market share. Partially offsetting these price discounts were cost reduction programs, which included reduced staffing levels and other cost containment measures.
Operating Income
Following is operating income by business group:
Consolidated operating income of $19.6 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 was $4.8 million, or 19.7% lower than operating income for the five months ended December 31, 1991. Operating income declined primarily due to unfavorable product mix and a restructuring charge of $1.7 million in certain businesses in the Industrial Products Group and reduced sales volumes for certain businesses in the Specialty Products Group. Consolidated operating margin, before restructuring charges, was 4.6% for the five months
ended December 31, 1992 as compared to 5.7% for the five months ended December 31, 1991. The decline is due to the above mentioned factors. Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 compared to the five months ended December 31, 1991 as a result of the higher sales levels, however, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales remained at 14.3% during both periods.
Operating income for the Building Products Group of $18.6 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 was $2.7 million, or 17.4% higher than operating income for the same period in 1991. This increase was due primarily to increased sales volume at all of the businesses within this group. Operating margin was essentially flat at 12.4% and 12.3% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Operating income for the Electrical Products Group of $4.4 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 was $0.6 million or 14.4% higher than operating income for the same period in 1991. This increase was due primarily to increased volume at Elastimold and cost reduction programs at certain units. Operating margin was 6.6% and 6.1% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the Industrial Products Group of $0.5 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 was $2.1 million lower than operating income for the same period in 1991. This decrease was attributable to unfavorable product mix at Burns and lower sales volume at Chemineer. Savings at Pfaudler from cost reduction programs partially offset the decline, despite restructuring charges of $1.7 million at Pfaudler and Burns. Operating margin, before restructuring charges, was 2.1% and 2.6% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively, due to the reasons discussed above.
Operating income for the Automotive Products Group of $0.5 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992, was $0.6 million lower than operating income for the same period in 1991. The decline is primarily due to lower sales volume at Clevaflex and increased operating expenses at Denman. Operating margins were 1.3% and 2.9% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the Specialty Products Group of $1.4 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 was $4.3 million lower than operating income for the same period in 1991. This decline was due primarily to decreases in volume at Caron and Gerry, as well as lower absorption and costs associated with a new product line at Hill. Operating margins were 1.7% and 6.0% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Corporate expenses for the five months ended December 31, 1992 increased $1.1 million compared to the five months ended December 31, 1991. The increased corporate expense was due to costs associated with the year end change and the Restructuring consummated on September 25, 1992.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense related to continuing operations was $27.2 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 compared to $27.7 for the corresponding period of 1991. This decrease is due primarily to the overall decline in interest rates.
Loss from Continuing Operations (Before Income Taxes)
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $7.6 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992 compared to a loss of $3.3 million for the five months ended December 31, 1991. The loss reflected the general economic environment in which Eagle was operating and the performance of certain of its businesses. Eagle has taken actions throughout all of its businesses to reduce operating expenses and manufacturing costs. The cost reduction efforts did not offset the lower sales prices in many of these businesses.
Income Tax Provision
Eagle's tax benefit for continuing operations for the five months ended December 31, 1992 reflected the significant amount of nondeductible expenses, including goodwill amortization and depreciation, which are included in the current operating loss. See Note 7 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a further analysis of the effective tax rate.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1992 AS COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1991
Net Sales
Following are net sales by business group:
Despite the adverse impact of the recession on many of the Company's businesses, consolidated net sales for fiscal 1992 were $64.9 million or 6.3% higher than fiscal 1991. Net sales increased $27.8 million in fiscal 1992 due to the full year impact of the fiscal 1991 acquisitions, which included Norris (acquired September 1990) and Energair (acquired April 1991). Excluding the effects of the Norris and Energair acquisitions, consolidated net sales increased by $37.1 million in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991.
Net sales of $323.9 million for the Building Products Group increased $65.6 million in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. The acquisition of Norris and Energair contributed $27.8 million to the sales increase in fiscal 1992. Excluding net sales of Norris and Energair, net sales improved by $37.8 million, $5.9 million of the increase was attributable to Mansfield due primarily to increased sales volume of vitreous china products, while DeVilbiss Air Power contributed $23.7 million. Hart & Cooley's sales increased $8.2 million of which $5.1 million was due to increased flexible duct system volume.
Net sales of $164.7 million for the Electrical Products Group declined $17.5 million in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. The recession had a negative impact on this group, primarily during the first six months of fiscal 1992, as both electric utility capital spending levels and construction levels were below fiscal 1991 levels. Additionally, $5.5 million of this decline related to a division which was sold by Eagle in January 1991.
Net sales of $280.4 million for the Industrial Product Group increased $10.1 million in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. This increase was attributable to an increase at Burns of $18.0 million, due to several large contracts for commercial aircraft seating, partially offset by decreases at Pfaudler and Chemineer of $6.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Capital spending by the chemical processing industry in the United States and Europe, which affects sales volumes of Pfaudler and Chemineer, continued to remain flat compared to levels experienced in fiscal 1991. Shipments in the last half of fiscal 1992 improved over fiscal 1991 levels.
Net sales of $127.9 million for the Automotive Products Group were $12.8 million higher in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. This increase was primarily due to increased sales at Eagle's automotive distribution businesses of $13.3 million.
Net sales of $201.9 million for the Specialty Products Group were $6.1 million lower in fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales at Caron and Gerry of $2.4 million and
$1.9 million, respectively, due to softness in consumer discretionary spending and decreases at Hill of $1.8 million.
Gross Earnings
Despite the adverse impact of the recession on many of the Company's businesses, consolidated gross earnings of $226.2 million for fiscal 1992 were $3.1 million higher than gross earnings of $223.1 million in fiscal 1991. Gross earnings improved for businesses in the Building Products Group and Automotive Products Group by $15.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, primarily as a result of increased sales volume resulting from improved market conditions and acquisitions. Certain businesses within the Electrical Products Group, Industrial Products Group and, to a lesser extent, the Specialty Products Group, experienced price pressure. For these segments, gross earnings declined $6.2 million, $6.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Consolidated gross margin was 20.6% for fiscal 1992 compared to 21.6% in fiscal 1991. The reduced level of gross margin was due primarily to the above-mentioned factors.
Operating Income
Following is operating income by business group:
Consolidated operating income for fiscal 1992 was $2.0 million or 3.0% higher than operating income in fiscal 1991. Consolidated operating margin was 6.2% and 6.4% for fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively, and declined primarily due to reduced sales volumes and continued price declines experienced by certain businesses within the Electrical Products Group and reduced sales volumes and manufacturing inefficiencies for certain businesses within the Industrial Products Group. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the Building Products Group and the Specialty Products Group due to increases in sales volume and more substantial improvements in operating margin.
Operating income for the Building Products Group increased $13.8 million during fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. This increase was due primarily to increased sales volume and effective cost reduction programs previously implemented by the businesses within this group, as well as to the earnings contribution of Norris and Energair, which contributed $2.4 million to operating income in fiscal 1992. Operating margin was 12.8% and 10.7% for fiscal 1992 and fiscal 1991, respectively, with the improvement being due to the above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the Electrical Products Group declined $2.1 million during fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. Operating margin was relatively flat at 10.0% and 10.2% for fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively. The decline in operating income was due to the reduced sales volumes and price declines experienced by certain businesses within this group during fiscal 1992.
Operating income for the Industrial Products Group declined $9.7 million during fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991 due primarily to the reduced sales volumes at Pfaudler and to manufacturing inefficiencies at Burns which resulted in higher labor costs. Operating margin was 5.1% and 8.8% for fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively, and declined due to the above mentioned factors.
Operating income for the Automotive Products Group increased $0.4 million during fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991, primarily due to increased volume at the Company's automotive parts distribution businesses. Operating margin was 3.3% for both fiscal 1992 and fiscal 1991.
Operating income for the Specialty Products Group decreased by $0.8 million during fiscal 1992 compared to fiscal 1991. This decrease was primarily due to continued softness in consumer discretionary spending. In addition, operating income in fiscal 1991 included increased costs at Hill, offset by improved product mix and lower operating expenses at Caron. Operating margin was 1.6% and 2.0% in fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively, due to the above mentioned factors.
Corporate expenses for fiscal 1992 declined $0.4 million compared to fiscal 1991. This decline reflected efforts to reduce administrative costs at all levels.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense related to continuing operations was $64.9 million for fiscal 1992 compared to $68.7 million in fiscal 1991. The decline in net interest expense was due primarily to the reduction in indebtedness as proceeds from fiscal 1991 business dispositions (totaling approximately $250.2 million through January 1991) were applied to outstanding debt balances. Accordingly, the average outstanding debt balance for fiscal 1992 was approximately $7.0 million less than for fiscal 1991. In addition, Eagle realized savings in fiscal 1992 interest expense due to the overall decline in interest rates from levels seen in fiscal 1991.
Income From Continuing Operations (Before Income Taxes)
Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $2.8 million for fiscal 1992 compared to a loss of $3.0 million for fiscal 1991. The improvement is a result of actions taken by Eagle throughout all of its businesses to reduce operating expenses and manufacturing costs, which included headcount reductions, renegotiating vendor contracts and reducing general corporate and administrative expenses to offset lower volume and sales prices in many of its businesses.
Income Tax Provision
Eagle's tax provision for continuing operations for fiscal 1992 reflected the significant amount of nondeductible expenses, including goodwill amortization and depreciation, which are included in the current operating loss. See Note 7 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a further analysis of the effective tax rate.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the third quarter of 1993, the Company classified Lapp Insulator Company ("Lapp"), Underground Technologies, Inc. ("Underground Technologies") and Power Structures, Inc. ("Power Structures") as discontinued operations. The Company is currently pursuing options for the sale of Lapp. The Company sold Power Structures and certain assets of Underground Technologies in the fourth quarter of 1993 for total proceeds of $3.5 million. The Company made a provision of $24.0 million, net of applicable tax benefit of $8.2 million, for estimated losses from operations and from the ultimate disposition of these businesses. These charges are reflected as "Loss on disposal" in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Included in the provision for disposition was the write-off of approximately $10 million of goodwill related to Lapp and Underground Technologies. The $10 million goodwill represented all of the goodwill assigned to these businesses.
In February, 1993, Eagle sold, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, a 60% interest in Signet Armorlite, Inc. ("Signet") to Galileo Industrie Ottiche, S.p.A. ("Galileo"). Signet manufactures and distributes ophthalmic lenses used for eyeglasses and also distributes supplies used in ophthalmic lens processing. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $23 million from the sale, which were used to reduce outstanding debt. The Company recorded a pretax loss of $5.0 million with a corresponding tax
benefit of $2.0 in December 1992. See Note 4 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the sale agreement and resulting accounting treatment.
During fiscal 1992, Eagle and its subsidiaries completed the sale of its process pump business, Pulsafeeder, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Pulsafeeder"), for total cash and other consideration of $69.0 million, as a result of which a net gain of approximately $10.6 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992. In addition, in conjunction with the Restructuring, Eagle sold the net assets of Equality to GAMI for approximately $17.0 million. Eagle did not record any gain on the sale of Equality.
During fiscal 1991, Eagle and its subsidiaries completed the sale of seven business units for cash consideration of $250.2 million. A net gain of $35.8 million was recorded as a result of these dispositions.
Interest expense allocated to these discontinued businesses primarily represented interest expense associated with debt assumed by the buyer or debt related to the discontinued businesses that will no longer be incurred by Eagle or its subsidiaries. In addition, certain interest expense related to Eagle and its subsidiaries' revolving lines of credit has also been allocated to discontinued operations based on the percentage of net assets sold to total consolidated net assets plus indebtedness of Eagle. Interest expense related to Eagle's subordinated notes has not been allocated to these discontinued operations. Eagle believes the method used to allocate interest expense to discontinued businesses is reasonable.
The provision for income taxes reflected for the operations of these discontinued businesses in Eagle's Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1993, the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 1991 and for fiscal 1992 and 1991, recognizes the tax effects related specifically to the discontinued businesses.
An income tax benefit of $8.2 million was recorded in connection with the ultimate disposition of companies recorded as discontinued operations in 1993. The tax benefit recorded differs from that computed by utilizing the U.S. federal tax rate due to certain non-deductible losses, principally the writedown of goodwill. Income tax expense of $18.7 million and $37.6 million were provided against the net gains on disposal of businesses in fiscal 1992 and 1991, respectively. The tax recorded on the gains recorded in fiscal 1992 and 1991 differ from that computed by utilizing the U.S. federal tax rate due to state taxes, certain non-deductible losses, the effect of net-of-tax accounting, the effect of foreign tax credits and excess tax gain over the book gain attributable to differences between the book and tax basis of assets related to businesses sold.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Eagle has historically met its debt service, capital expenditure requirements and operating needs through a combination of operating cash flow and external financing.
Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow from continuing operating activities was $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of $68.1 million of which $71.8 million was related to restructuring charges. An increase in accounts receivable, as well as the recording of income tax benefits and expenditures due to the relocation of IEP's manufacturing facility from New Jersey to Florida represented the primary uses of cash in 1993.
Credit Facilities
As further described in Note 5 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements, in July 1993, the Company completed a tender offer for $151 million of its 13% Senior Subordinated Notes ("13% Notes"). The tender of the $151 million of the 13% Notes was funded through a concurrent sale of Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2003 ("Notes"). The issue price of the Notes was $598.97 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents a yield to July 15, 1998 of 10.5% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of Notes issued was $315 million. Cash interest will be payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate of 10.5% per annum commencing on January 15, 1999 until maturity on July 15, 2003. The net proceeds, after deducting the tender premium, consent payments, interest on the 13% Notes tendered and other fees and
expenses, amounted to approximately $167 million. In connection with the tender of the 13% Notes, the Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $8.4 million net of applicable tax benefit of $5.8 million for call premiums and expenses.
In January 1994, the Company consummated a Refinancing (the "Refinancing"), the proceeds of which were utilized to repay and redeem all of its subsidiaries senior bank credit facilities, the remaining $149 million of its 13% Notes and the 13.75% Senior Subordinated Notes ("13.75% Notes"). A portion of the proceeds from the Refinancing were derived from a new senior bank credit facility ("Credit Facility") made available to Eagle Industrial Products Corporation, ("Eagle Industrial"), a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which owns all of the operating subsidiaries of the Company. The Company also entered into an asset securitization program whereby it sold certain of its accounts receivable for approximately $110 million. In addition, the Company received a capital contribution from GAMI of $50 million in connection with the Refinancing. The Refinancing of the Company's debt is expected to generate a reduction of interest expense in excess of $20 million. In connection with the Refinancing, the Company will record a pretax extraordinary charge of approximately $26 million in the first quarter of 1994. See Note 17 to the Eagle Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the Refinancing.
The Eagle Industrial Credit Facility consists of: (1) a $225 million term loan due in quarterly installments increasing from $4.9 million per quarter during 1994 to $15 million in 1999; (2) a $65 million term loan due in equal quarterly installments aggregating $0.5 million per year in 1994 and 1995, $1 million per year in 1996 through 1999 and $60 million in 2000; and (3) a $135 million revolving Credit Facility (subject to borrowing base availability) that expires in 1999, which may be extended through 2000. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at alternative floating rate structures, at management's option (4.9% at January 31, 1994), and are secured by substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and certain receivables of Eagle Industrial and its subsidiaries. At January 31, 1994, $35 million and $290 million were outstanding under the revolving credit portion and term loan portion of the Credit Facility, respectively. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides for a letter of credit facility of up to $50 million. Borrowing availability under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility is reduced by the outstanding amount of letters of credit. At January 31, 1994, an additional $28 million was available to borrow under the Credit Facility.
The Eagle Industrial Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, the more restrictive requirements being: the maintenance of minimum levels of net worth; limitations on incurring additional indebtedness; restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of loans to the Company; maintenance of certain ratios of cash flow to interest expense and indebtedness; maintenance of a minimum level of cash flow to fixed charges; and a prohibition on payments to the Company for management services in excess of $3 million per year. The Company has provided a guarantee as to the repayment of amounts outstanding under this Credit Facility. Additionally, the Credit Facility requires that the Zell interests (as defined) directly or indirectly maintain at least 30% of the voting power to elect members of the board of directors of the Company and that the Company directly own 100% of Eagle Industrial.
Prior to the Refinancing, the Company had four senior credit facilities which were available to four subsidiary groups of the Company (the "Senior Bank Credit Facilities"). A portion of the proceeds of the Refinancing were utilized to fully repay the Senior Bank Credit Facilities in January 1994. The aggregate amount available under the revolving portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facilities (subject to borrowing base availability) amounted to $350.0 million at December 31, 1993, of which $156.9 million was outstanding. Additionally, the Senior Bank Credit Facilities at December 31, 1993 included $69.6 million in outstanding term loans. Borrowings under the Senior Bank Credit Facilities bore interest at alternative floating rate structures, at management's option (5.6% and 6.1% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively), and were secured by substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and receivables of the Company's subsidiaries. Three of these senior credit facilities were guaranteed by the Company. Additionally, these credit facilities provided for letter of credit facilities within each credit facility. At December 31, 1993, $33.5 million of letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the aforementioned credit facilities.
The Senior Bank Credit Facilities contained various financial covenants, the more restrictive requirements being the maintenance of minimum levels of net worth; limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, as defined; maintenance of certain ratios of profitability to interest expense; maintenance of certain asset to liability ratios; requirements that the Zell interests (as defined) directly or indirectly maintain at least 51% of the voting power to elect members of the board of directors of certain subsidiary groups; and maintenance of minimum levels of earnings to fixed charges, as defined.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $27.7 million and $31.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Expenditures during 1992 included the construction of a new facility for IEP. Capital expenditures were $13.6 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992, $27.5 million in fiscal 1992 and $26.3 million in fiscal 1991.
In addition to normal maintenance expenditures, Eagle also expects to incur additional capital expenditures to develop new products and improve product quality. Capital expenditures will be funded through operating cash flow and through availability under the Credit Facility. Eagle had no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 1993. The Company expects that its capital expenditures in 1994 will increase to approximately $45 million.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Although the Company has historically made a number of acquisitions, it has not made any material acquisitions since fiscal 1990. While certain preliminary discussions are at varying stages at this time, Eagle currently does not have any contract or arrangement with respect to a material acquisition.
Eagle has historically sold a number of businesses, realizing cash proceeds of $25.9 million in 1993 and $17.0 million in the five months ended December 31, 1992. Proceeds were $67.4 million, $250.2 million and $162.5 million in fiscal 1992, 1991 and 1990, respectively. Eagle has considered, and in the future will consider, proposals for the sale of some or all of its interests in its businesses. However, it has, at this time, no agreements or arrangements for the sale of any of its businesses.
Other Liquidity Considerations
Eagle is structured as a holding company and the operations of Eagle are conducted principally through its subsidiaries. As a result of the Refinancing, Eagle has no debt service requirements and no cash interest payments due until January 1999. Eagle Industrial owns all the operating subsidiaries of the Company. Eagle Industrial will rely almost exclusively on income and cash flow from its operating subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet its debt service obligations as defined in "Credit Facilities" above. Claims of creditors (including trade creditors), if any, of Eagle's subsidiaries, even though such claims do not constitute indebtedness of Eagle, will have priority as to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over claims of Eagle and the holders of Eagle's indebtedness. In addition, the Credit Facility and agreements to which Eagle or its subsidiaries are a party, restrict the ability of Eagle or its subsidiaries to incur further indebtedness. See Note 5. Management believes that cash flow from continuing operations along with availability under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to pay interest on outstanding debt, meet current debt maturities, pay income taxes and fund anticipated capital expenditures.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Eagle believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on operations during the period August 1, 1990 through December 31, 1993 in any of the countries or industries in which Eagle competes. Inflationary increases to operating income in Brazil and Mexico are substantially offset by translation losses included in operating income. Brazilian and Mexican monetary assets, net of monetary liabilities, are not material to Eagle.

The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1993
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Eagle Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "Eagle") commenced operations on February 1, 1987, when GAMI transferred certain stock and net assets of Clevepak Corporation and Lapp Insulator Company to the Company. On January 9, 1991, Great American Management and Investment, Inc. ("GAMI"), through its subsidiaries, contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of The Jepson Corporation ("Jepson"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GAMI, to the Company. The contribution of the capital stock of Jepson to the Company was accounted for as an exchange between companies under common control and in a manner similar to that utilized in pooling-of-interest accounting. The historical financial statements of the Company have been restated to give effect to the September 1989 acquisition of Jepson by a subsidiary of GAMI, as if the acquisition of Jepson had been consummated by Eagle.
Prior to the Restructuring, as hereinafter defined, Great American Financial Group, Inc. (formerly Great American Industrial Group, Inc.) ("GAFG") directly and indirectly owned 100% of the common stock of the Company and GAMI owned 100% of the common stock of GAFG. Eagle is currently 100% owned by GAMI.
Effective as of September 25, 1992, GAMI and its subsidiaries consummated a restructuring (the "Restructuring"). Pursuant to the Restructuring, among other things, (i) Eagle sold the net assets of its business, Equality Specialties, Inc. ("Equality") to GAMI for approximately $17 million; (ii) GAFG contributed all of the outstanding stock owned by it in North Riverside Holdings, Inc. ("North Riverside") to Eagle; (iii) Eagle declared a stock dividend to facilitate the distribution of Eagle's common stock (the effect of which was negated by a reverse stock split in December 1993); and (iv) GAFG distributed all of the outstanding Eagle common stock owned by it to GAMI.
Effective December 16, 1992, Eagle changed its year end from July 31 to December 31.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION:
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. The last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of inventory valuation is used for 45.5% and 49.8% of inventory at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The first-in first-out ("FIFO") method of inventory valuation is used for the remaining inventory.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Cost is based on appraised fair market values when allocating the purchase price for acquisitions. The straight-line method is generally used to provide for depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, plant and equipment held for sale is written down to net realizable value and classified in other assets.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
GOODWILL:
Goodwill represents the purchase price associated with acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis primarily over forty years. Accumulated amortization was $43.4 million and $32.9 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill allocated to each of its individual acquired businesses as follows: A) continuing operations -- whenever current operating income is not sufficient to recover current amortization of goodwill or when events and circumstances indicate that future operating income and cash flow may be negatively affected, the recoverability is evaluated based upon the estimated future operating income and undiscounted cash flow of the related entity during the remaining period of goodwill amortization, and; B) entities to be divested -- the carrying value of the net assets of each entity, including the amount of goodwill assigned thereto, is compared to the expected divestiture proceeds. If a loss is indicated, it is recorded when known; gains are recorded when the divestiture occurs.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES:
The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholder's equity. Translation adjustments of non-U.S. subsidiaries with highly inflationary economies (Brazil and Mexico) are charged to operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenues as products are shipped.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
The Company adopted the provisions of "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS No. 112") effective December 31, 1993. By adopting this standard, the Company increased its accrued expenses by $3.0 million and recorded a corresponding pretax charge of $3.0 million reflected as a "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle".
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
Research, product development and engineering facilities are maintained at various subsidiary locations. Research and development efforts center on developing improved materials and designs for existing products and the creation of new products and equipment. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, $1.6 million for the five months ended December 31, 1992, $3.4 million in fiscal 1992 and $3.5 million in fiscal 1991.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company is included in GAMI's consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Under the terms of a tax sharing arrangement with GAMI, the Company computes and pays to GAMI its liability for U.S. federal income taxes as if the Company filed a separate U.S. federal income tax return. The Company files separate U.S. state and non-U.S. income tax returns.
The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Management intends to indefinitely reinvest non-U.S. subsidiaries' earnings. Undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries were $9.3 million at December 31, 1993. If these earnings were distributed, foreign tax credits would substantially offset the related U.S. income tax liability.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS. No. 109") effective January 1, 1993. This new standard changes the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method required under APB No. 11 to the asset and
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
liability method. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. (See Note 7.)
INTEREST EXPENSE RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
Interest expense allocated to the discontinued businesses principally represents interest expense related to debt assumed by the buyer or debt related to the discontinued businesses that will no longer be incurred by the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, certain interest expense related to the Company and its subsidiaries' revolving lines of credit has also been allocated to discontinued operations based on the percentage of net assets sold or to be sold to total consolidated net assets plus indebtedness of the Company. Interest expense related to the Company's subordinated notes has not been allocated to the discontinued businesses. The Company believes the method used to allocate interest to discontinued businesses is reasonable.
(3) ACQUISITIONS
As described in Note 1, as part of the Restructuring GAMI contributed all of the outstanding capital stock of North Riverside to Eagle. Substantially all of North Riverside's operations are conducted through two automotive aftermarket parts distributors. The contribution of North Riverside to the Company has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests under the provisions of APB No. 16.
In April 1991, the Company, purchased all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Energair division ("Energair") for total cash consideration of $8.4 million. Energair manufactures and distributes air compressors in the United States.
In September 1990, the Company purchased all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Norris Plumbing Products ("Norris") for total cash consideration of $12.3 million. Norris manufactures and distributes ceramic and enameled steel bathroom fixtures for use in the residential and commercial construction industry.
The aforementioned acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB No. 16") and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their fair values as of their respective dates of acquisition.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the third quarter of 1993, the Company reflected Lapp Insulator Company ("Lapp"), Underground Technologies, Inc. ("Underground Technologies") and Power Structures, Inc. ("Power Structures") as discontinued operations. The Company is currently pursuing options for the sale of Lapp. The Company sold Power Structures and certain assets of Underground Technologies in the fourth quarter of 1993 for total proceeds of $3.5 million. The Company made a provision of $24.0 million, net of applicable tax benefit of $8.2 million, for estimated losses from operations and from the ultimate disposition of these businesses. Included in the provision for disposition was the write-off of approximately $10 million of goodwill related to Lapp and Underground Technologies.
In February, 1993, the Company sold a 60% interest in Signet Armorlite, Inc. ("Signet") to Galileo Industrie Ottiche, S.p.A. ("Galileo"). Signet manufactures and distributes ophthalmic lenses used for eyeglasses and also distributes supplies used in ophthalmic lens processing. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $23 million, which were used to reduce outstanding debt. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company has the right to put (the "Put") its remaining 40% interest in Signet to Galileo on February 26, 1998. Galileo has the right to acquire the remaining 40% interest (the "Call") held by the Company any time prior to February 26, 1998. While the Company retains a 40% interest; it has no obligation
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
to fund future losses or make additional investments; it has a less than majority board representation; it has given up substantially all of its rights to future earnings or appreciation related to its 40% interest; and it intends to exercise its Put in the event that Galileo does not exercise its Call. The price under either the Put or Call is $14.9 million. The Company recorded a pretax loss of $5.0 million with a corresponding tax benefit of $2.0 million in December 1992. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Galileo also has the right to put certain of Signet's plant and equipment (the "Real Estate Put") to the Company from February 26, 1997 through February 26, 1998 for $10.0 million. No gain or loss has been recognized with respect to the Real Estate Put.
As disclosed in Note 1, Eagle sold Equality to GAMI as part of the Restructuring. The total consideration received by the Company was approximately $17 million in cash. No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the sale of Equality.
In May, 1992, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Pulsafeeder, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Pulsafeeder"). Total consideration received by the Company was $69.0 million. The Company recorded a pretax gain of $29.3 million with a corresponding tax provision of $18.7 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1991, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of DeVilbiss Health Care, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("DeVilbiss Health Care") for total cash consideration of $84.5 million. The July 31, 1991 Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a pretax gain of $44.7 million from the sale of DeVilbiss Health Care with a corresponding tax provision of $15.8 million.
In addition, during fiscal 1991, the Company sold its Stimsonite, Air Maze and Atlantic businesses for total cash consideration of $45.0 million, $8.3 million and $38.8 million, respectively. Since the consideration received for these businesses approximated the fair value allocated to the net identifiable assets of these businesses in purchase accounting, no net gain or loss was recorded as a result of their sales. However, due to net-of-tax purchase accounting, other income of $17.8 million with a corresponding tax provision of $17.8 million has been recorded as a result of these divestitures. This income, net of the related tax provision, has been included in net gain on disposal of businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1991, the Company sold two of its businesses, Hedstrom and Emerson. Certain net assets of Emerson were sold for total cash consideration of $56.1 million. Since the consideration received for Emerson approximated the fair value allocated to the net identifiable assets of this division in purchase accounting, no net gain or loss was recorded as a result of this divestiture. Certain net assets of Hedstrom were sold to New Hedstrom Corp. ("Buyer"), an affiliate of GAI Partners Limited Partnership ("GAI Partners"), which was organized to purchase, own and operate the business constituted by such assets (the "Business"), for total consideration of $34.5 million. The $34.5 million of consideration received by the Company consisted of a $32.5 million note receivable, which bears interest at 9.0% payable quarterly, with principal payments due in varying installments through January 1998 (the "Hedstrom Note"), and 9.0% cumulative preferred stock of Hedstrom Holdings, Inc., which owns 100% of the stock of Buyer, having a redemption value of $2.0 million. Payment of interest on the Hedstrom Note may be deferred at the option of GAI Partners until maturity, with interest accruing at 9.0% on any amount of unpaid principal and interest. The Hedstrom Note is secured by a pledge of the non-voting preferred stock GAI Partners holds in GAFG. In the event of default on the GAFG non-voting preferred stock, GAMI has agreed to issue GAMI non-voting preferred stock with similar rights and designations. Through January 1996, any acceleration resulting from a default under the Hedstrom Note may, at the option of GAI Partners, be satisfied solely by the transfer of the aforementioned preferred stock (see Note 12) to the holder of such note. Since the consideration received for the Business approximated the fair value allocated to the net identifiable assets of Hedstrom in purchase accounting, no net gain or loss was recorded as a result of this divestiture. In connection
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
with the sales of Emerson and Hedstrom, while no net gain or loss was recognized due to net-of-tax purchase accounting, other income of $3.8 million with a corresponding tax provision of $3.8 million has been recorded as a result of these divestitures. This income, net of the related tax provision, has been included in net gain on disposal of businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
In fiscal 1991, the Company recorded an additional gain on disposal of $6.9 million relating to the fiscal 1990 divestiture of a business. There was no corresponding tax provision related to this additional gain due to net-of-tax accounting.
The following table summarizes key financial data related to the discontinued operations of Lapp, Power Structures, Underground Technologies, Signet, Pulsafeeder, Equality, DeVilbiss Health Care, Air Maze, Atlantic, Emerson and Hedstrom.
The net current assets of discontinued operations included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1993 amounted to $38.9 million, and consisted primarily of receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment, net of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt and accrued employee benefit obligations. These amounts have all been classified as current based on the intent to dispose of them within one year. The net current assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1992 amounted to $65.3 million and consisted primarily of receivables, goodwill and inventories net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The net long-term assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1992 amounted to $21.6 million and consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, net of debt and accrued employee benefit obligations.
(5) DEBT
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES:
Amounts outstanding at December 31, 1993 under the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes are as follows:
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
Senior Deferred Coupon Notes:
The Company's $315 million principal amount of Senior Deferred Coupon Notes (the "Notes") issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated July 1, 1993, (the "Indenture") mature on July 15, 2003. The issue price of each Note was $598.97 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents a yield to July 15, 1998 of 10.5% per annum. Cash interest will not accrue on the Notes prior to July 15, 1998. Cash interest will be payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate of 10.5% per annum commencing January 15, 1999 until maturity. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari pasu in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of the Company. The Notes are redeemable at the Company's option on or after July 15, 1998 at par value, plus accrued interest. In addition, prior to July 15, 1996, up to 35% of the Notes may be redeemed out of the proceeds of certain equity offerings at 110% of accreted amount to July 15, 1994 and decreasing by 1% per annum each July 14 thereafter, until July 14, 1996. Upon a Change of Control (as defined below) each holder of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase such holders' Notes at 101% of the accreted amount plus accrued interest, if any.
A Change of Control is primarily defined to mean such time as any person or group, [other than GAMI, Equity Holding Limited, Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners and any affiliate thereof (the "Original Investors")], become the beneficial owner of more than 40% of the voting power of stock of the Company and such ownership level exceeds that of the Original Investors as a group.
The Notes contain restrictive covenants, the more significant requirements being: a limitation on dividend payments and distributions on capital stock; restrictions on distributions from subsidiaries; limitations on sales of assets and subsidiary stock; and limitations on the creation of additional indebtedness (excluding certain refinancings of indebtedness, certain amounts to finance capital expenditures, indebtedness under bank credit agreements not to exceed $440 million, and other indebtedness of $50 million) unless consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Net Interest Expense (as defined in the Indenture) is equal to or exceeds 1.75 to 1 for periods through July 1995 and 2.00 to 1 for periods after July 1995.
13% Senior Subordinated Notes:
The Company's $300 million 13% Senior Subordinated Notes ("13% Notes") issued pursuant to an indenture dated October 1, 1988 (the "Eagle Indenture") were due in October 1998. The 13% Notes became redeemable by the Company on October 15, 1993 at 104% of the principal amount of these notes with the redemption price reducing to 100% in 2% increments each October 15 thereafter. The 13% Notes were subordinated to all existing Senior Debt of the Company.
In April 1993, the Company commenced a tender offer for $151 million aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes at a price as subsequently amended of $1,049 per $1,000 principal amount. The Company also solicited consents, at a price of $15 for each $1,000 principal amount of 13% Notes purchased, from tendering holders for proposed amendments to the Eagle Indenture to allow the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain amounts of additional indebtedness. The Company received sufficient consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the Eagle Indenture and consummated the tender offer on July 12, 1993, concurrent with the offering of the Notes.
As further discussed in Note 17, Subsequent Events -- Refinancing, in January 1994, the Company called for redemption on February 27, 1994, the remaining $149 million of 13% Notes at 104% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. Proceeds for the redemption were derived from the Refinancing.
13.75% Notes:
The $75 million 13.75% Senior Subordinated Notes ("13.75% Notes") issued pursuant to an indenture dated March 15, 1988 were due in March 1998. The 13.75% Notes were redeemable at 108.25% of the
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
principal amount of these notes in March 1992 decreasing to 100% in 1.375% increments each March 15 thereafter. As further described in Note 17, Subsequent Events -- Refinancing, in January 1994, all of the 13.75% Notes were called for redemption on March 15, 1994 at 105.5% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. Proceeds for the redemption were derived from the Refinancing.
OTHER LONG-TERM DEBT:
Eagle Industrial Credit Facility:
As further described in Note 17, in January 1994 the Company consummated a refinancing (the "Refinancing"), the proceeds of which were utilized to repay and redeem of all of its subsidiaries senior bank credit facilities, its 13% Notes and the 13.75% Notes. Thus, in January 1994 the Senior Bank Credit Facilities (defined below) were fully repaid and the agreements terminated. A portion of the proceeds to consummate the Refinancing were derived from a new senior bank credit facility made available to Eagle Industrial Products Corporation, ("Eagle Industrial") a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which owns all of the operating subsidiaries of the Company.
On January 31, 1994, Eagle Industrial entered into a new $425 million senior credit facility with a group of banks (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consists of: (1) a $225 million term loan due in quarterly installments increasing from $4.9 million per quarter during 1994 to $15 million in 1999; (2) a $65 million term loan due in equal quarterly installments aggregating $0.5 million per year in 1994 and 1995, $1 million per year in 1996 through 1999 and $60 million in 2000; and (3) a $135 million revolving credit facility (subject to borrowing base availability) that expires in 1999, which may be extended through 2000. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at alternative floating rate structures, at management's option (4.9% at January 31, 1994), and are secured by substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and certain receivables of Eagle Industrial and its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility requires an annual commitment fee of 0.5% on the average daily unused amount of the revolving portion of the Credit Facility. At January 31, 1994, $35 million and $290 million were outstanding under the revolving credit portion and term loan portion of the Credit Facility, respectively. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides for a letter of credit facility of up to $50 million. Borrowing availability under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility is reduced by the outstanding amount of letters of credit. At January 31, 1994, an additional $28.0 million was available to borrow under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility contains various financial covenants, the more restrictive requirements being: the maintenance of minimum levels of net worth; limitations on incurring additional indebtedness; restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of loans to the Company; maintenance of certain ratios of cash flow to
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
interest expense and indebtedness; maintenance of a minimum level of cash flow to fixed charges; and a prohibition on payments to the Company for management services in excess of $3 million per year. The Company has provided a guarantee as to the repayment of amounts outstanding under this credit facility. Additionally, the Credit Facility requires that the Zell interests (as defined) directly or indirectly maintain at least 30% of the voting power to elect members of the board of directors of the Company and that the Company directly own 100% of Eagle Industrial.
The proforma aggregate long-term debt maturities over the next five years (including amounts that will be due under the Credit Facility and excluding amounts repaid in connection with the Refinancing) are as follows: 1994 -- $23.2 million; 1995 -- $27.0 million; 1996 -- $36.8; 1997 -- $40.3 million and 1998 -- $51.3 million.
Senior Bank Credit Facilities:
The Company had four senior credit facilities which were available to four subsidiary groups of the Company prior to the Refinancing (the "Senior Bank Credit Facilities") (see Note 17). A portion of the proceeds of the Refinancing were utilized to fully repay the Senior Bank Credit Facilities in January 1994. The aggregate amount available under the revolving portion of the Senior Bank Credit Facilities (subject to borrowing base availability) amounted to $350.0 million at December 31, 1993, of which $156.9 million was outstanding. Additionally, the Senior Bank Credit Facilities at December 31, 1993 included $69.6 million in outstanding term loans, which were due in quarterly installments increasing from $3.9 million per quarter in 1994 to $7.5 million in 1997. Borrowings under the Senior Bank Credit Facilities bore interest at alternative floating rate structures, at management's option (5.6% and 6.1% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively), and were secured by substantially all domestic property, plant, equipment, inventory and receivables of the Company's subsidiaries. Annual commitment fees ranging from 0.375% to 0.60% were payable on the average daily unused amount of the revolving portion of these credit agreements. Three of these senior credit facilities were guaranteed by the Company. Additionally, these credit facilities provided for letter of credit facilities within each credit facility. At December 31, 1993, $33.5 million of letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the aforementioned credit facilities.
The Senior Bank Credit Facilities contained various financial covenants, the more restrictive requirements being: the maintenance of minimum levels of net worth; limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, as defined; maintenance of certain ratios of profitability to interest expense; maintenance of certain asset to liability ratios; requirements that the Zell interests (as defined) directly or indirectly maintain at least 51% of the voting power to elect members of the board of directors of certain subsidiary groups; and maintenance of minimum levels of earnings to fixed charges, as defined. The Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants of their respective debt agreements at December 31, 1993.
(6) EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS:
PENSION:
U.S. Plans:
Substantially all employees are covered by Company or union sponsored defined benefit pension plans. Plans covering salaried and management employees provide pension benefits that are based on the employee's years of service with the Company and average compensation during the five years before retirement. For other employees, pension benefits are provided based on a stated amount for each year of service. The Company's funding policy for all plans is to make no less than the minimum annual contributions required by applicable governmental regulations.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
The following table sets forth the funded status for all U.S. defined benefit pension plans and related amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:
Plan assets generally consist of common stocks and fixed income instruments. The unrecognized liability at August 1, 1987 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
In accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company has recorded an additional minimum pension liability for underfunded plans of $10.1 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, representing the excess of unfunded accumulated benefit obligations over previously recorded pension cost liabilities. A corresponding amount is recognized as an intangible asset except to the extent that these additional liabilities exceed related unrecognized prior service costs and net transition obligations, in which case the increase in liabilities is charged directly to stockholder's equity. At December 1993, the excess minimum pension liability resulted in a net charge to equity of $4.6 million.
Net periodic pension cost for defined benefit pension plans reporting under the provisions of SFAS No. 87 included in the above table was:
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
The following assumptions were used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation for the Company's U.S. defined benefit plans: weighted-average discount rate of 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 9.0% for the five months ended December 31, 1992; rate of increase in future compensation levels of 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 6.0% for the five months ended December 31, 1992; and expected long-term rate of return on assets of 9.0% for both periods.
The Company and its subsidiaries also have several defined contribution plans for certain U.S. employees. Employer contributions to these plans were $4.8 million in the year ended December 31, 1993, $1.2 million in the five months ended December 31, 1992, $4.4 million in fiscal 1992 and $3.2 million in fiscal 1991. Contributions to these plans by the Company are determined under a variety of methods including those based on the number of years employed or a percentage of the contribution made by the employee.
Non-U.S. Plan:
The following table sets forth amounts recognized in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements related to its non-U.S. unfunded pension plan:
Net periodic pension cost for this non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan included in the above table was:
The Company used the following assumptions in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation for this non-U.S. pension plan: weighted average discount rate of 7.25% for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 8.25% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and fiscal 1992, and rate of increase in future compensation levels of 4.0 % for all periods presented. Pension payments are paid by this subsidiary from funds generated by operations.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:
The Company provides certain postretirement life and health-care benefits to certain of its employees. For most business units providing these benefits, employees retiring from the Company on or after attaining
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
age 55 who have rendered at least 15 years of active service to the Company are entitled to postretirement benefits coverage. Most of these plans are non-contributory, while there are a few in which employees and retirees contribute towards their coverage. The Company has not funded any of this postretirement benefits liability. Contributions to the postretirement plans are made by the Company as claims are incurred.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 in the first quarter of fiscal 1992 by adjusting its postretirement benefits liability recognized as of August 1, 1991 to the discounted present value of expected future benefits attributed to employees' service rendered prior to August 1, 1991. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using an assumed discount rate of 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 1993, 9% for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and 9.5% for fiscal 1992, and a health care cost trend rate of 12% for the year ended December 31, 1993, with the assumption that the health care cost trend rate would decrease ratably to 6.0% by the year 1997. The health care cost trend rate was 13.0% for the five months ended December 31, 1992, with the assumption that the health care cost trend rate would decrease gradually to 7.0% by the year 2000. The trend rate used for the year ended July 31, 1992 was 15% with the assumption that the rate would gradually decrease to 7.5% by the year 2000. The effect of a one percent increase in the health care cost trend rate assumption would be to increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, the annual service cost and interest expense components by approximately $3.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. In adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 106, the Company evaluated the assumptions used previously in estimating its postretirement benefits obligation under the unfunded accrual method. Based on its experience and the results of this evaluation, the Company revised certain of these previous assumptions when adopting SFAS No. 106. Trend rates used in adopting SFAS No. 106 reflect the Company's prior experience and expectation that future rates will trend downward. Additionally, the August 1, 1991 valuation of the Company's postretirement benefit obligation included the effects of announced future cost sharing programs and benefit plan changes. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 106, the Company recorded a reduction of its postretirement benefit obligation of $24.2 million and recognized a corresponding $24.2 million pretax benefit as a "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle", with a related tax provision of $7.3 million.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company curtailed certain of its postretirement benefits for its non-bargaining employees. In general, the curtailment affects employees who retire after December 1994 with exception for certain employees who meet certain age plus years of service requirements. The curtailment resulted in a reduction of the postretirement benefit liability of $4.2 million. The effect of the curtailment was offset by a charge in the fourth quarter of 1993 of $4.2 million related to the Company s self-insurance costs.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
The following table sets forth postretirement benefits recognized in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:
Net postretirement benefit cost included the following components:
(7) INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 effective January 1, 1993. The December 31, 1993 Consolidated Financial Statements reflect a decrease in the net deferred tax assets of $3.5 million and a corresponding charge of $3.5 million, reflected as a "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle". As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 109, various "gross" up adjustments were made to the balance sheet in order to adjust amounts which were originally recorded on a net of tax basis as part of purchase accounting. These adjustments resulted in increases to net property, plant and equipment, accrued liabilities, accrued employee benefit obligations and other long-term liabilities of approximately $21.4 million, $1.9 million, $19.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively. These increases were offset by a corresponding increase to deferred taxes of approximately $12.0 million. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 109, the Company's loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1993 was increased by approximately $2.0 million due to increased depreciation expense.

Deferred tax provisions/(benefits) for the five months ended December 31, 1992 and for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1992 and 1991, resulted principally from expenditures related to divestitures, non-cash accrued employee benefits and depreciation.
Reconciliation of income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes from continuing operations:
(8) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During 1993, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $71.8 million related principally to the closure of Hill's Canadian manufacturing facility, the write down of certain assets of Hill Refrigeration, the closure of Caron's London, Kentucky manufacturing facility, the downsizing of certain of Pfaudler's foreign operations and costs associated with the relocation of one of IEP's manufacturing facilities.
In 1993, the Company decided to close Hill's Canadian manufacturing facility. Accordingly, a charge of $8.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of 1993 to reflect the write down of property, plant and equipment and to accrue for related shut down expenses. The shut down was substantially complete at December 31, 1993.
In addition, in late 1993, the Company performed an in-depth analysis of Hill's products, competitive position, market share and manufacturing cost base. A decision was made to reduce its manufacturing costs and simplify its manufacturing processes for its commercial refrigeration cases which were being redesigned. To implement this decision, a review of reconfiguration and/or relocation options was initiated. A decision was made to relocate the manufacturing of the redesigned cases. Accordingly, a review was made of the fair market value of the Trenton manufacturing facility which resulted in a write down of $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 1993. Employee related costs of $7.0 million associated with the relocation/reconfiguration decision were also recorded in the fourth quarter of 1993. In evaluating the goodwill related to Hill, a write-down of $25.8 million was made in the fourth quarter of 1993 in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for goodwill.
In the third quarter of 1993, the Company decided to consolidate Caron's London, Kentucky manufacturing facility into Caron's other manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, the Company provided $6.2 million of
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
restructuring charges including $3.0 million for the write down of property, plant and equipment and $3.2 million for shut down related expenses. The shut down was substantially complete at December 31, 1993.
In the third quarter of 1993, the Company initiated a restructuring of its work force in Pfaudler's German manufacturing unit. Costs for severance payments in accordance with German legal requirements were accrued in the third quarter of 1993. This severance program has been substantially completed in early 1994.
In conjunction with the relocation of one of IEP's manufacturing facilities in the first quarter of 1993, costs were incurred which exceeded previously established reserves. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2.0 million in charges in the fourth quarter of 1993.
The cash and non-cash components of these charges are as follows (in millions):

(11) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash, cash equivalents and long-term investments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Long-term investments are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Subordinated Notes
The fair value of the Company's Notes is based on the Call Price at January 31, 1994, for the 13% Notes and the 13.75% Notes and quoted market prices for the Notes at December 31, 1993. The fair value was determined using quoted market prices for all the subordinated notes at December 31, 1992.
Senior Bank Credit Facilities
The carrying amount approximates fair value as the rates are tied to the prime rate and LIBOR which fluctuate based on current market conditions.
Other Debt
The carrying amount approximates fair value as rates approximate borrowing rates currently available to the Company for similar loans.
The estimated fair values of the Company s financial instruments are as follows:
(12) STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK:
The Company amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation in December 1993 to eliminate the authority to issue preferred stock.
COMMON STOCK:
In connection with the Restructuring, and in order to facilitate the distribution of Eagle's common stock in September 1992, the Company distributed, as a stock dividend, approximately 11,077 shares of its common stock for each share outstanding. As the GAMI Board of Directors decided not to complete the Distribution, the Company declared a reverse stock split of 1/11,077 per share of common stock in December 1993, resulting in the Company having 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The accompanying financial statements and related footnotes have been restated to give retroactive effect to this reverse stock split.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
ADDITIONAL PAID IN CAPITAL:
Restructuring
In connection with the sale of certain net assets of Hedstrom to an affiliate of GAI Partners in January 1991, a portion of the consideration received included the Hedstrom Note. Through January 16, 1996, any acceleration resulting from a default under the Hedstrom Note may, at the option of GAI Partners, be satisfied solely by the preferred stock GAI Partners holds in GAFG (the "Class C Preferred Stock"). See Note 4.
The terms of the Class C Preferred Stock include, among other things, (i) that the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock may on January 15 of 1999, 2000 and 2001, require GAFG to redeem any or all of the Class C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus a redemption premium equal to 8% of the amount redeemed if redeemed in 1999, 11% if redeemed in 2000 and 13% if redeemed in 2001, plus accrued but unpaid dividends through the date of redemption, (ii) that upon liquidation of GAFG, the Class C Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and (iii) in the event of default on the GAFG non-voting preferred stock, GAMI has agreed to issue GAMI non-voting preferred stock with similar rights and designations. See Note 4.
To relieve GAFG (to the extent Eagle or any of its subsidiaries acquires such rights and is permitted to do so under the Eagle Indenture and one of the Senior Bank Credit Facilities) of its obligation to redeem, or pay a liquidation preference with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock, Eagle declared and paid to GAFG, its sole shareholder at the time, a non-cash dividend consisting of the benefits conferred by Eagle's execution of a Disaffiliation Agreement (the "Disaffiliation Agreement"), effective as of September 25, 1992. Although the dividend was paid by the execution of the Disaffiliation Agreement, the economic benefit of the dividend will be received, if at all, only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including that no default under the Indenture exists or is caused by the transfer of said benefits. Pursuant to the Disaffiliation Agreement, among other things:
- Eagle agreed that if it or any of its subsidiaries becomes the owner of any Class C Preferred Stock, it will transfer or cause to be transferred (the "Transfer") such Class C Preferred Stock to GAFG without the payment of any amount by GAFG, provided that certain conditions are satisfied including that no default under the Indenture exists or is caused by the Transfer;
- Eagle agreed that if the Transfer is made by one of its subsidiaries, it will pay the transferor the redemption price or, if applicable, the liquidation preference related to such Class C Preferred Stock, that the transferor would have received from GAFG had the Transfer not been made, such payment to be made at the time that GAFG would have been obligated to pay such redemption price or liquidation preference;
- Eagle agreed to reimburse GAFG if GAFG pays any amount, to Eagle or its subsidiaries (or any transferee of Eagle or its subsidiaries), for redemption of, or as a liquidation preference in respect of, any Class C Preferred Stock, provided that certain conditions are satisfied including that no default under the Indenture exists or is caused by the reimbursement; and
- To induce GAI Partners, as the owner of the Class C Preferred Stock, to consent to the Restructuring and the Distribution, GAMI guaranteed GAFG's obligation to pay the redemption price or the liquidation preference, provided such guaranty will terminate if a default occurs and is continuing under the Hedstrom Note or GAI Partners transfers ownership of the Class C Preferred Stock to the holder of the Hedstrom Note.
EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1993
The Disaffiliation Agreement conferred no benefits on Eagle, but Eagle's execution thereof is a condition of the Distribution.
To account for the reorganization and the above transactions, Eagle reduced paid in capital at July 31, 1992 by the amount of the Hedstrom Note and related accrued interest thereon, pursuant to the dividend of the benefits conferred on GAFG through execution of the Disaffiliation Agreement.
Other Transactions
In January 1991, GAFG issued 35,650 shares of its non-voting preferred stock having a redemption value of $1,000 per share to GAI Partners, in exchange for the 20% of GAFG common stock held by GAI Partners. GAFG has accounted for the exchange of the aforementioned securities as an acquisition of its minority interest, in accordance with APB No. 16, and has "pushed down" this additional purchase price to subsidiaries of GAFG, pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements, as a result of this transaction, was an increase in both paid in capital and goodwill of approximately $35.6 million.
In January 1991, prior to the contribution of the capital stock of Jepson to the Company, Jepson returned $5.0 million of original contributed capital to subsidiaries of GAMI.
In March 1991, prior to the contribution of the capital stock of North Riverside to the Company, GAMI converted $0.6 million of contributed capital of North Riverside to intercompany indebtedness.
PENSION LIABILITY ADJUSTMENT:
In December 1993, the Company recorded a charge to equity related to its underfunded pension plans. See Note 6.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
EAGLE/GAMI TAX AGREEMENT
Eagle and its U.S. subsidiaries are included with GAMI in its consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable periods during which, pursuant to applicable U.S. federal income tax laws, they qualify as members of GAMI's affiliated group (the "Affiliation Years"). GAMI has entered into tax sharing agreements with Eagle and each of its U.S. subsidiaries. Collectively, these tax sharing agreements (i) provide for the manner of determining the allocation and payment of U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax liabilities and benefits among members of each subsidiary group for the Affiliation Years, (ii) detail the procedure for determining the allocation of payments by, or refunds to, members of each subsidiary group as a result of adjustments to the U.S. federal or state income tax liabilities of any or all members of such subsidiary group with respect to any Affiliation Year and (iii) define the post-affiliation obligations of GAMI and any member that becomes disaffiliated with any of the subsidiary groups (a "Former Member") with respect to post-affiliation years in which the tax liability of GAMI, such Former Member or subsidiaries of such Former Member may be affected by the former affiliation. Under the tax sharing agreements, each member is to benefit fully from any loss, deduction or credit attributable to such member.
DISAFFILIATION AGREEMENT
Prior to January 9, 1991, Ditri Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its affiliate, GAI Partners Limited Partnership ("GAI Partners"), a Connecticut limited partnership not affiliated with GAMI or Eagle, owned 20% of the common equity of GAFG. On January 9, 1991, GAI Partners exchanged its 20% common equity interest in GAFG for 35,650 shares of GAFG Class C Preferred Stock (the "Class C Preferred Stock"), and Falcon Manufacturing, Inc. caused its subsidiary, Hedstrom Corporation ("Hedstrom") to sell certain of Hedstrom's net assets to New Hedstrom Corp. ("Buyer"), an affiliate of GAI Partners for total consideration of $34.5 million. Such consideration consisted of a $32.5 million promissory note made by GAI Partners, which bears interest at 9.0% payable quarterly, with principal payments due in varying installments through January 1998 (the "Hedstrom Note"), and 9.0% cumulative preferred stock of Hedstrom Holdings, Inc., which owns 100% of the stock of Buyer, having a redemption value of $2.0 million. Payment of interest on the Hedstrom Note may be deferred at the option of GAI Partners until maturity, with interest accruing at 9.0% on any amount of unpaid principal and interest. To date, GAI Partners has exercised this option and deferred payment of such interest.
The Hedstrom Note is held by a subsidiary of Eagle and is secured by a pledge of the Class C Preferred Stock. The terms of the Class C Preferred Stock provide, among other things, that (i) the holder of the Class C Preferred Stock may on January 15 of 1999, 2000 and 2001, require GAFG to redeem any or all of the Class C Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus a redemption premium equal to 8% of the amount redeemed if redeemed in 1999, 11% if redeemed in 2000 and 13% if redeemed in 2001, plus accrued but unpaid dividends through the date of redemption, (ii) upon liquidation of GAFG, the Class C Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and (iii) in the event of default on the GAFG non-voting preferred stock, GAMI has agreed to issue GAMI non-voting preferred stock with similar rights and designations. GAI Partners is the current owner of all outstanding Class C Preferred Stock. Through January 16, 1996, upon acceleration, the Hedstrom Note may, at the option of GAI Partners, be satisfied by transferring ownership of the Class C Preferred Stock to the holder of such note. In such event, the holder of the Hedstrom Note would become the owner of the Class C Preferred Stock.
In the event of a default on the Hedstrom Note, Eagle may indirectly become the owner of the Class C Preferred Stock. In this event, Eagle's subsidiary would have the rights of a holder of such Preferred Stock, including the right to require GAFG to redeem it. To relieve GAFG of its obligation to redeem, or pay a liquidation preference with respect to, the Class C Preferred Stock, Eagle declared and paid to GAFG, its sole stockholder at the time, a non-cash dividend consisting of the benefits conferred by Eagle's execution of a Disaffiliation Agreement (the "Disaffiliation Agreement"), effective as of September 25, 1992. Although the dividend was paid by the execution of the Disaffiliation Agreement, the economic benefit of the dividend will be received, if at all, only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Pursuant to the Disaffiliation Agreement, among other things:
- Eagle agreed that if it or any of its subsidiaries becomes the owner of any Class C Preferred Stock, it will transfer or cause to be transferred (the "Transfer") such Class C Preferred Stock to GAFG without the payment of any amount by GAFG, provided that certain conditions are satisfied;
- Eagle agreed to reimburse GAFG if GAFG pays any amount to Eagle or its subsidiaries (or any transferee of Eagle or its subsidiaries) for redemption of, or as a liquidation preference in respect of, any Class C Preferred Stock, provided that certain conditions are satisfied; and
- To induce GAI Partners, as the owner of the Class C Preferred Stock, to consent to the Restructuring and the Distribution GAMI guaranteed GAFG's obligation to pay the redemption price or the liquidation preference, provided such guaranty will terminate if a default occurs and is continuing under the Hedstrom Note or GAI Partners transfers ownership of the Class C Preferred Stock to the holder of the Hedstrom Note.
Eagle's execution of the Disaffiliation Agreement was a condition of the Distribution and the granting of the indemnity discussed below.
INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS
In connection with the Restructuring, GAMI and Eagle entered into an indemnity and hold harmless agreement pursuant to which GAMI agreed to indemnify and hold Eagle and its subsidiaries harmless from and against any and all claims, settlements, judgments or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to, affecting or arising out of claims filed against Madison, an unconsolidated affiliate of GAMI, in connection with its November 1991 petition under Chapter 11 (subsequently converted to Chapter 7) of the Bankruptcy Code. Eagle believes that any potential claim against Eagle arising out of the bankruptcy proceeding will not have a material effect on Eagle's operating results or financial condition, since (i) GAMI has indemnified Eagle as discussed above and (ii) GAMI has represented to Eagle that it has substantial meritorious defenses against actions brought by the trustee.
In addition, GAMI and Eagle entered into an agreement (the "Indemnity Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, GAMI agreed to indemnify Eagle, its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors against any losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or the failure to state a material fact required to be stated in, the Information Statement which GAMI mailed on October 16, 1992 relating to the Distribution, other than in Appendix A to such Information Statement. Correspondingly, Eagle agreed to indemnify GAMI, its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors against any losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or the failure to state a material fact required to be stated in Appendix A to such Information Statement. GAMI and Eagle each agreed to provide the other party to the Indemnity Agreement access to certain information in possession of the other party.
ONGOING TRANSACTIONS WITH GAMI AFFILIATES
Eagle has in the past entered into agreements or arrangements with affiliates of directors or officers of Eagle relating to acquisition and divestiture services, financing services, and consulting arrangements which are described below. In addition, Eagle has entered into arrangements for certain administrative services in which the amount involved did not exceed $60,000 for any one agreement. Eagle may enter into similar agreements or arrangements from time to time in the future. Eagle believes that the terms of the transactions described below are no less favorable than those which could have been obtained from non-affiliated parties.
LEASES WITH AFFILIATES
Eagle currently leases corporate office space at the rate of $28,000 per month from an affiliate of GAMI. The Company incurred expenses of $0.3 million in the year ended December 31, 1993.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Affiliates of GAMI provide general corporate computer and printing services to Eagle for which Eagle paid $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 1993. Eagle will continue to utilize such services from time to time in the future.
INTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES
GAMI's internal audit department has provided Eagle with various audit services in the past, including review of operational and financial controls and assistance to outside auditors during Eagle's annual audit. These services have been provided to Eagle and its subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 1993 at a cost of $0.2 million. Eagle will continue to utilize such services from time to time in the future.
LEGAL SERVICES
The law firm of Rosenberg & Liebentritt, P.C., of which Mrs. Rosenberg is a member, has rendered legal services to Eagle and its subsidiaries. Eagle paid this law firm $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 1993.

EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SCHEDULE III -- CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT EAGLE INDUSTRIES, INC. (PARENT COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the parent company only financial statements for Eagle Industries, Inc., (the "Company"), the Company's investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. The Company's share of net income of its unconsolidated subsidiaries is included in consolidated income using the equity method. Pursuant to the Restructuring in September 1992, Clevaflex, Inc., formerly a subsidiary of Eagle, was merged into and became an operating division of Eagle. Parent company only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements.
(2) DEBT
As further discussed in Note 5 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, in July 1993, the Company issued $315 million principal amount of Senior Deferred Coupon Notes due 2003 (the "Notes"). The issue price of each Note was $598.97 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which represents a yield to July 15, 1998 of 10.5% per annum. Cash interest will not accrue on the Notes prior to July 15, 1998. The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to redeem $151 million principal amount of the Company's 13% Senior Subordinated Notes ("13% Notes"). The 13% Notes were redeemed pursuant to a tender offer at a price of $1,049 per $1,000 principal amount.
As further discussed in Note 17 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company called for redemption on February 27, 1994, the remaining $149 million of 13% Notes at 104% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. Proceeds for the redemption were derived from a new senior bank credit facility made available to Eagle Industrial Products Corporation, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a $50 million capital contribution from GAMI.
