Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of the Business.
The Registrant was incorporated in 1966 under the laws of Minnesota. In the past year, the Registrant has not changed its form of organization or mode of conducting business. The Registrant grows through internal development and acquisitions. As in the past, periodic dispositions of assets or business units are possible when they no longer fit with the long-term strategies of the Registrant.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Registrant acquired the net assets and the subsidiaries of Schroff GmbH (Schroff) from Fried. Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp for a cash purchase price of approximately $140 million net of cash acquired. Schroff manufactures and sells enclosures, cases, subracks and accessories for commercial electronic and instrumentation applications, with world-wide 1993 sales of approximately $160 million. While Schroff faces significant competition in each of its markets, it is the largest manufacturer of electronic enclosures and 19 inch subracks in the European market, in which the majority of Schroff sales are made. The Registrant views Schroff as complementary to the electrical enclosure business of Hoffman Engineering and intends to develop these businesses using their respective strengths in technology, manufacturing, marketing and market position.
In September 1994, Pentair announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives for its paper businesses, including their possible sale. That course of action was chosen to achieve several objectives. First, to permit Pentair to focus its commitment and resources in the industrial products sector, continuing the strong growth and leading market positions these businesses have achieved. Second, to permit the paper businesses to seek their own opportunities and long-term goals. Third, to make Pentair a more understandable company to the investment community and its shareholders.
That process is ongoing. In February 1995, Pentair announced the sale of its uncoated paper business, Cross Pointe Paper, to Noranda Forest for approximately $200 million. The sale is expected to close at the beginning of April 1995. Efforts continue toward completing the strategic alternatives for Niagara of Wisconsin and for the joint venture interest in Lake Superior Paper Industries, the company's other paper businesses.
Pentair expects that its strategic refocusing will be completed in the course of 1995. Whatever the eventual outcome, Pentair is poised to aggressively expand into its chosen industrial markets.

In addition, Myers distributes products to the do-it-yourself market for retail sale through home centers and hardware stores under the names "Water Ace" and "Shur Dri".
Competitive conditions.
Delta participates in the middle range of the overall market for general purpose woodworking machinery. The addressed market is focused on high quality, feature oriented products and value added services for the home shop, contractor, and small shop markets. Delta markets the industry's broadest line of products for its addressed market. Delta's numerous competitors do have individual products which compete with certain of Delta's products. Competition in this market focuses on quality, features, service and price.
Porter-Cable competes in the professional portable electric tool market which is highly competitive. Porter-Cable faces several major competitors across its addressed market. Product innovation, features, performance, quality, service, delivery and price are all competitive factors.
Myers addresses the water pump and system market. Myers faces many competitors across its product lines. Price, delivery, and quality are competitive factors.
Description of the General Industrial Equipment Segment:
Products and marketing.
The following table sets forth, for each of the last three years, the General Industrial Equipment segment product class net sales in excess of 10 percent of consolidated net sales.
Electrical Enclosures. Through the Hoffman Engineering Company division of Federal-Hoffman, Inc. (Hoffman Engineering), the Registrant manufactures enclosures and wireways for electrical and industrial instrumentation applications and markets these products primarily through independent manufacturer's representatives and electrical and electronic equipment distributors throughout North America and the United Kingdom.
Electronic Enclosures. Through Schroff GmbH and its international subsidiaries (Schroff), the Registrant manufactures enclosures and wireways for electronic instrumentation applications. Schroff is a large European manufacturer of cabinets, cases, subracks, microcomputer packaging systems and accessories. Schroff serves the worldwide industrial electronics industry including key segments such as computers, test & measurement, private LANs/data communication, industrial control and factory automation, medical and telecommunications.
Sporting Ammunition. Through the Federal Cartridge Company division of Federal-Hoffman, Inc. (Federal Cartridge), the Registrant manufactures and markets sporting and law enforcement ammunition, and components. These products are distributed throughout the United States through a network of distributors; directly to large retail chains; and directly to law enforcement agencies (governmental).
Industrial Lubricating Systems and Material Dispensing Equipment. The Registrant, through its Lincoln Industrial division of McNeil (Ohio) Corporation (Lincoln Industrial), manufactures components and designs systems for manual and automatic delivery of measured quantities of lubricants for industrial applications. Lincoln Industrial also manufactures components and designs, fabricates, and installs high-volume liquid and semi-solid dispensing systems. Both segments serve original equipment and retrofit markets. Lubricating and materials dispensing systems are marketed in the United States by approximately 100 specially qualified systems distributors with design, installation, and service capability. Basic lubricating equipment and accessories are marketed through industrial supply and specialty distributors. A special direct sales group markets a wide variety of Lincoln Industrial products to original equipment manufacturers in a variety of industries. Lincoln Industrial also manufactures lubricating components and systems at its facility in Walldorf, Germany for distribution to European, Middle East, Far East and African markets, and to a lesser extent to the United States. The remainder of the world market, including the Pacific Rim, is served from Lincoln Industrial's St. Louis, Missouri manufacturing facility.
Automotive Service Equipment. The Registrant, through its Lincoln Automotive division of McNeil (Ohio) Corporation (Lincoln Automotive), manufactures and markets lubrication, repair, and service equipment for a broad range of vehicles. Products are sold through a key group of approximately 600 aftermarket wholesalers. Certain products are sold to large auto parts chain stores. Certain lubricating equipment, tools, and jacks and lifting equipment are sold under private label programs. Garage, service station, car dealership service department, and fast oil change lubricating systems are marketed through petroleum equipment and service distributors with design and installation capability.
Competitive conditions.
Hoffman Engineering is the largest North American manufacturer of electrical enclosures and wireways, having a market share estimated to be about 25%. It is currently the only manufacturer with national distribution and its competitors are generally smaller, regional manufacturers. Hoffman Engineering also participates in the North American electronic enclosures market, facing competition from a large number of firms, with three or four established firms leading the market. In both markets, the most significant competitive factors are price, product innovation, service, quality, breadth of product line, and delivery.
Schroff is a large manufacturer in Europe's electronic enclosure market and a technical leader. Schroff, like Hoffman, has a comprehensive product range. Schroff faces competition from a large number of firms, some very large and some smaller. Significant competitive factors are product innovation and quality.
Federal Cartridge and its two primary competitors, Winchester and Remington, have a combined market share of approximately 90% in the U.S. sporting ammunition market, with the balance coming from smaller domestic competitors and foreign ammunition manufacturers. Quality, delivery, price and terms are significant competitive factors.
Lincoln Industrial and Lincoln Automotive face three to five major competitors and several smaller competitors across their product lines. Competition involving industrial lubricating systems and material dispensing equipment tends to center around quality, systems capability, and application knowledge. Price becomes a more significant competitive factor for vehicle servicing equipment.
Description of the Paper Products and Joint Venture Segments:
Products and marketing.
The following table sets forth, for each of the last three years, the Registrant's net sales ($ millions), percent of consolidated net sales and tons shipped (thousands) for each paper product class.
fn1 Lake Superior Paper Industries is a joint venture in Duluth, Minnesota; only 50% of the joint venture's sales and tonnage are included. Since this joint venture is accounted for on the equity method, its sales are not included in consolidated sales.
Coated Paper. The Registrant, through its subsidiary Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Corporation (Niagara), manufactures coated groundwood publication-grade paper (nos. 4 and 5) used for applications requiring high-resolution printing and reproduction of color pictures, such as magazines, periodicals, catalogs, and general commercial printing.
Uncoated Papers. Cross Pointe Paper Corporation (Cross Pointe), a subsidiary of the Registrant, through its subsidiaries, Miami Paper Corporation, Dayton Paper Corp. and Flambeau Paper Corp., manufactures a variety of uncoated papers, primarily for commercial printing, text and cover, and book publishing markets, and operates a centralized converting and distribution operation (IDC) in West Chicago, Illinois.
Supercalendered (SCA) Printing and Publication Grade Papers. The Registrant has a 50% interest in a joint venture, Lake Superior Paper Industries (Lake Superior), which produces supercalendered paper known as SCA. End use markets include magazine publication, catalogues and advertising inserts. SCA is sold directly to printers and end users through Lake Superior's own sales and marketing personnel. Adjacent to Lake Superior, is a recycled pulp mill facility, of which 24% is owned by LSPI Fiber Co. Registrant owns 50% of LSPI Fiber Co. and accounts for it on the equity method. LSPI Fiber Co. sells recycled pulp to LSPI and other paper mills.
Competitive conditions.
The Paper Products segment output of Niagara and Cross Pointe is sold in highly competitive markets with between 10 to 15 competitors in each. Many competitors have greater production capacity and, in many cases, captive sources of raw materials. Lake Superior is the largest North American producer of SCA, but is subject to substantial competition from European manufacturers, and makers of other grades of printing and publication paper. Price, quality, innovation and service are significant competitive factors in the markets served by the Paper Products segment.
Raw materials.
The raw materials used in the manufacture of paper are bleached kraft pulps, pulp substitutes, pulpwood, groundwood pulp, waste paper, certain chemicals, clays, starches, and additives. The Registrant does not own its own timberlands or manufacture its own kraft pulp.
Purchases of kraft pulp and waste paper are significant components of the Registrant's fiber needs. The raw materials are supplied by several manufacturers, some under long-term contracts. The balance of fiber needs, comprised primarily of groundwood pulp, sulphite pulp and secondary fiber (pulp recovered by recycling waste paper), is produced at the various mills. The Registrant has recently installed or expanded its recycled fiber capacity at its Cross Pointe mills and has invested in a joint venture recycled pulp facility in Duluth, Minnesota.
The Registrant also purchases chemicals, clays, logs for pulp, waste paper, and other paper-making components from various sources. Adequate supplies of these materials are expected to be available to meet the Registrant's needs.
Backlog.
The following table shows backlog (in days) and approximate sales value (at average selling price) at December 31:
A substantial portion of paper sales are produced to meet specific customer orders. Although the level of backlogs provides some indication of the strength of the paper markets, other factors such as the trend of retail sales and customer and printer inventory levels must be considered. The current backlog is considered adequate. All backlogs are expected to be filled within the current year.
Information Regarding All Segments:
Working capital items.
Federal Cartridge's working capital builds from January through September as inventories are increased to meet third quarter shipping schedules and receivables increase due to fall dating for early order programs used in the sporting ammunition business. Management continues to focus on reducing working capital requirements through management of receivable and inventory levels.
Status of new products.
The industries in which the segments participate are essentially mature and do not experience the introduction of many products that materially change the nature of the industry. Individual manufacturers generally make improvements or apply new technologies to existing products.
Raw materials.
The raw materials used in the manufacturing process include steel(bar and sheet) various metals including brass and lead, gunpowder and plastic. Selected motors, castings, plastic parts and components are also purchased. The supply of all raw materials and components is currently adequate.
Delta and Porter-Cable import select tools in their product offerings. Design and engineering of these products is performed primarily by Delta. The manufacturing process is controlled and monitored for most of these products in factories dedicated to Delta production. Supply of these products is currently adequate and timely.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concessions.
The businesses own a number of U.S. and foreign patents and trademarks. They were acquired over many years and relate to many products and improvements. No one patent or trademark is of material importance to the company as a whole.
Seasonal aspects.
For the Registrant as a whole there is no strongly seasonal aspect.
Backlog.
The Specialty Products and General Industrial Equipment segments normally do not experience backlogs for substantial periods of time. The nature of the businesses emphasizes maintaining inventories sufficient to satisfy customer needs on a timely basis, and production and sourcing is geared towards providing adequate inventories in order to minimize customer back orders. Accordingly, backlogs are not material to understanding the sales trends or manufacturing fluctuations of the segment.
Dependence on limited number of customers.
The Registrant as a whole is not dependent on a single customer or on a few customers. The loss of a limited number of customers would not have a material adverse impact on the Registrant.
Government contracts.
The Registrant has no material portion of sales under government contracts that may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the government.
Employees.
As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant and its subsidiaries employed approximately 10,300 persons, of which 2,475 were represented by unions having collective bargaining agreements.
Labor contracts negotiated in 1994 were: Molders and Allied Workers Local 45 - Ashland, Ohio (extended to May 1, 1997), 49 employees; Clerical Workers Local 47 - Niagara, Wisconsin (extended to May 14, 1997), 25 employees; and Molders and Allied Workers Local 19 - Guelph, Ontario, Canada (extended to July 1, 1997) 7 employees.
Contracts expiring in 1995: International Association of Machinists Local 59 - Ashland, Ohio (expires April 6, 1995); United Paperworkers International Union Local 1166 - Niagara, Wisconsin (was extended from January 31, 1995 and now expires April 30, 1995); International Association of Machinists Local 9 - St. Louis, Missouri (expires April 30, 1995); United Steel Workers of America Local 8630 - Tupelo, Mississippi (expires May 1, 1995); Patternworkers League - Ashland, Ohio (expires September 1, 1995); and Teamsters Local 984 - Memphis, Tennessee (expires December 15, 1995).
The Registrant considers its employee relations to be good and feels future contracts can be negotiated for the benefit of the business and the employees.
(d) Financial Information about Foreign Operations.
The Registrant operates primarily in North America and Europe. See discussion of foreign operations incorporated by reference.

Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Registrant or its subsidiaries have been made parties to actions filed, or have been given notice of potential claims, relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental and employment matters. Major matters which may have an impact on the Registrant are discussed below. The Registrant believes that it is remote that the outcome of such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's financial position or future results of operations, based on current circumstances known to the Registrant.
Federal-Hoffman, Inc. Federal Cartridge, a division of Federal-Hoffman, has been named by the EPA as a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) in connection with a waste disposal site in Greer, South Carolina. The EPA issued an administrative order effective April 29, 1992 to Federal-Hoffman and 96 other entities to compel the cleanup of the Aqua-Tech Environmental, Inc. site. Federal-Hoffman is working with a group of other PRPs to negotiate with the EPA regarding the cleanup of the site. A surface cleanup of the site is complete. Under interim allocations by the PRP group, Federal Cartridge paid $442,000 toward the cost of the surface cleanup. Under current final allocation proposals, Federal-Hoffman anticipates no additional payout for the surface cleanup.
On March 16, 1995, the EPA notified Federal Cartridge that it is a PRP related to the subsurface of the site. The PRP group anticipates beginning a study of the soil and groundwater to determine the extent of subsurface contamination. The cost of such study, any necessary remediation and the size of allocation, if any, to Federal-Hoffman is unknown to the Registrant at this time. Federal-Hoffman however, anticipates its allocation in the subsurface action to be positively impacted by the nature of its waste and the fact that virtually all of its waste was accounted for and removed during the surface remediation.
In October 1992, Hoffman Engineering, a division of Federal-Hoffman was also named as a PRP in connection with the Aqua-Tech site. Hoffman settled out of the surface removal as a de minimis party, and anticipates doing the same for the subsurface remediation. Based on current information available to it, the Registrant believes that this matter is unlikely to result in material future liability.
Porter-Cable Corporation. In November 1993, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) issued to Porter-Cable Corporation (Porter-Cable) and Rockwell International Corporation (Rockwell) an administrative order requiring them to investigate, and if necessary, clean up alleged groundwater contamination at a manufacturing facility located in Madison County, Tennessee. The facility was acquired by Porter Cable from Rockwell in 1981. Porter Cable is currently engaged in discussions with Rockwell to reach an agreement regarding indemnification from or cost sharing with Rockwell, based upon Tennessee and Federal law, for costs and expenses related to investigation of the site. The Registrant believes that this matter is unlikely to result in material liability or material changes in operations. No estimate of the projected response cost liability can be made based on information currently known to the Company.
Cross Pointe Paper Corporation. In February 1994, the Miami mill (Miami) of Cross Pointe Paper Corporation was named a PRP in connection with the IWD/Cardington landfill in Moraine, Ohio. Waste haulers with whom Miami contracted to transport its flyash and paper and wood waste allegedly took it to this landfill for some time prior to its closure in 1980. The EPA has identified 22 other PRPs at this time. The cost of remediation of the site is estimated to be approximately $12 to $15 million. Miami is investigating its alleged involvement at this site.
Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Corporation. In March 1994, Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Corporation (Niagara) was notified by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) that Niagara's sludge lagoons violate MDNR regulations. Niagara is discussing with the MDNR the closure schedule of the lagoons and the need for expanded groundwater monitoring at the site. Monitoring done to date indicates some groundwater contamination, but at this time the extent is unknown. It is likely that some remediation will be required; but the Registrant does not anticipate that the cost of any such remediation will have a material impact on Registrant's financial condition or operations.
California Proposition 65 Notice. Two divisions of Registrant's subsidiaries have received notices pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 25249 (Proposition 65). In February 1994, F.E. Myers (Myers), a division of McNeil (Ohio) Corporation, received a notice regarding alleged violations arising from discharge of lead from submersible water pumps into drinking water since February 27, 1988. Two private environmental groups sent the notice to and subsequently filed suit against Myers and three other pump manufacturers and one pump distributor. Under Proposition 65, the penalty for each violation is $2,500 per day. Myers is responding to the claims raised in the lawsuit. In light of a recent settlement proposal by plaintiffs, Registrant believes that it is unlikely that this matter will result in material liability.
In October 1994, Federal Cartridge (Federal), a division of Federal-Hoffman, Inc. received a notice regarding alleged violations of Proposition 65 arising from exposure of firearm users to lead from ammunition. A private environmental group sent the notice to Federal and 75 other ammunition and firearms manufacturers and sellers. Federal is currently investigating the claims set forth in this notice.
Product Liability Claims. As of March 4, 1995, the Registrant or its subsidiaries are defendants in approximately 177 product liability lawsuits and have been notified of approximately 100 additional claims. The Registrant has had and currently has in place insurance coverage it deems adequate for its needs. A substantial number of these lawsuits and claims are insured by Penwald, a regulated insurance company wholly owned by Registrant. See discussion in Item 7 (MD&A - Insurance Subsidiary) and Item 8 (Note 1 to the Financial Statements). Accounting reserves covering the deductible portion of liability claims not covered by Penwald have been established and are reviewed on a regular basis. The Registrant has not experienced unfavorable trends in either the severity or frequency of product liability claims.
