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

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Reeves Industries, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in 1982 ("Reeves" or the "Registrant"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hart Holding Company Incorporated ("Hart Holding"), is a holding company whose principal asset is the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reeves Brothers, Inc. ("Reeves Brothers"). Reeves Brothers is a diversified industrial company with operations in two principal business segments consisting of: (i) the Industrial Coated Fabrics Group, which manufactures and sells rubber and synthetic coated fabrics, and (ii) the Apparel Textile Group, which manufactures, processes and sells specialty textile fabrics.
Effective October 25, 1993, HHCI, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hart Holding, merged with and into the Registrant with the Registrant surviving the merger. Subsequent to and as a result of this merger, 100% of the Registrant's outstanding common stock is held by Hart Holding. See Footnote 11, Shareholder's Equity, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Reeves.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Reeves is a diversified industrial company with operations in two principal industry segments: industrial coated fabrics, conducted through its Industrial Coated Fabrics Group, and apparel textiles, conducted through its Apparel Textile Group. The Industrial Coated Fabrics Group manufactures and sells rubber and synthetic coated fabrics such as (i) offset printing blankets and other graphic arts products for industrial applications, and (ii) specialty coated fabrics (truck tarpaulins, gaskets, gas meters and other molded, flat diaphragms and materials used in automotive airbags). The Apparel Textile Group manufactures, processes and sells specialty textile fabrics to apparel and other manufacturers. Throughout its businesses, Reeves emphasizes specialty products, product quality, technological innovation and quick response to the changing needs of its customers.
The products of the Industrial Coated Fabrics Group and the Apparel Textile Group are sold in the United States and in foreign countries primarily by Reeves Brothers' merchandising and sales personnel and through a network of independent distributors to a variety of customers including converters, apparel manufacturers, industrial users and contractors. Sales offices are maintained in New York, New York; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Spartanburg, South Carolina and Lodivecchio, Italy.

Additional information about Reeves' industry segments is contained in Footnote 15, Financial Information About Industry Segments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Reeves.
INDUSTRIAL COATED FABRICS GROUP
The Industrial Coated Fabrics Group ("ICF") specializes in the coating of various substrate fabrics with a variety of products, such as synthetic rubber, vinyl, neoprene, urethane, and other elastomers, to produce a diverse line of products for industrial applications.
ICF's products include: (1) a complete line of printing blankets used in offset lithography, (2) specialty coated fabrics, including fluid control diaphragm materials, tank seals, ducting materials, coated automotive airbag materials, and coated fabric materials used for military and commercial life rafts and vests, aircraft escape slides, flexible fuel tanks and general aviation products, and (3) coated fabrics used in industrial coverings, including fabrics coated with rubber and vinyl which are used to make tarpaulins, loading dock shelters and other industrial products.
ICF's products require significant amounts of technological expertise and Reeves believes that ICF's product development, formulation and production methods are among the most sophisticated in the coated fabrics industry. Since 1990, ICF has been awarded seven patents with respect to polyurethane coatings and currently has eight pending patent applications relating to printing blankets, airbag fabric and specialty coatings. Approximately eight other patent applications are in process.
ICF generally manufactures specialty coated fabrics according to a production backlog. ICF's products, other than printing blankets and coated automotive airbag materials, involve relatively short runs and custom manufacturing. Printing blankets are sold primarily to distributors and dealers. ICF's other products are sold directly to end-users and fabricators by its direct sales force.
Printing Blankets ICF is a leading producer of printing blankets used in offset lithography, the predominant printing process for the commercial, financial, publication and industrial printing markets.
Offset printing blankets are used in the printing process to transfer a printed image from a metal printing plate onto paper or other printed material. ICF markets a complete line of conventional, compressible and sticky-back blankets under the VULCAN (registered trademark) name. Reeves' line includes the 714 (registered trademark), the first compressible printing blanket, the 2,000 PLUS (registered trademark), an advanced general purpose blanket, the VISION SR and REFLECTION (trademarks), two premium blankets targeted at the sheet-fed market, and the MARATHON and HORIZON (registered trademarks), blankets targeted to the high- speed web press market. Each blanket in the product line is designed for a specific printing need and ICF sells an appropriate blanket for most types of commercial, financial, publication and industrial printing applications. Reeves is a co-licensee of the latest blanket technology known to offset printing. Heidelberg Harris, a world leader in the manufacture of printing presses, chose Reeves as one of only two worldwide blanket manufacturers to license and produce the new cylindrical blanket for their high speed gapless "Sunday" press, the M3000. This press utilizes Reeves' new VULCAN GENESIS (registered trademark) cylindrical blanket.
Reeves believes that ICF's blankets consistently offer high performance and quality. This performance is due to a number of proprietary features of the blankets, many of which are the subject of pending patent applications. Distinctive characteristics of ICF's blankets include unique printing surface compounds, improved composition and placement of compressible layers, surface buffing and water and solvent-resistant back plies.
Purchasers of ICF's blankets include commercial, financial and industrial printers and publishers of newspapers and magazines. ICF's blankets are sold to over 10,000 U.S. printers and more than 15,000 foreign printers, in 64 countries worldwide.
ICF has established a network of over 60 distributors and 125 dealers in the United States, Canada and Latin America to market its printing blankets. In addition, ICF is represented by a distributor in most of the other countries in which it does business. Reeves' distributors typically purchase rolls of uncut blankets from ICF and then cut, finish and package the blankets prior to delivery to dealers or end-users. Internationally, ICF's relationship with distributors tend to be long-standing and exclusive, with most distributors dealing only in ICF's printing blankets and ICF selling only to such distributors in their respective territories. Domestic distributors tend to carry printing blankets from a number of manufacturers. Dealers generally purchase finished blankets from distributors for resale. ICF services all of its customers and its direct sales force actively markets and promotes ICF's printing blankets, to both distributors and end-users.
Specialty Coated Fabrics Reeves believes that ICF is a leading domestic producer of specialty coated fabrics used for a broad range of industrial applications. ICF's specialty coated fabrics business is largely customer or specialty oriented. In 1994, more than 90% of ICF's sales of specialty coated fabrics were derived from fabrics manufactured to meet particular customers' specifications.
Specialty coated fabrics generally consist of a fabric base, a substrate layer, and an elastomer coating (i.e.,coating consisting of an elastic substance, such as rubber) which is applied to the fabric base. Reeves believes that ICF's line of elastomer-fabric combinations is the most comprehensive in the industry, enabling it to design products to satisfy its customers' needs. Fabric bases used in ICF's specialty coated fabrics include polyester, nylon, cotton, fiberglass and silk. ICF's elastomers include natural rubber, nitrile, Thiokol (registered trademark), Neoprene (registered trademark), silicone, Hypalon (registered trademark), Viton (registered trademark) and polyurethane.
ICF sells its specialty coated fabrics under the registered trademark Reevecote. Reeves believes that ICF has established a reputation for quality and product innovation in specialty coated fabrics by virtue of ICF's technological capability, advanced plant and equipment, research and development facilities and specialized chemists and engineers.
ICF's specialty coated fabrics include the following:
General purpose goods. This product line includes air cells, tank seals, gaskets, compressor valves, aerosol seals and washers and coated fabrics used by other manufacturers in the production of insulation material, soundproofing and inflatable "lifting bags" used to jack up automobiles or trucks.
Gas meter diaphragms. ICF manufactures a line of rubber diaphragm material for use in gas meters which are the primary mechanisms in gas meters for controlling gas flow. ICF's products are sold to most of the major manufacturers of gas meters. ICF has the leading share of the domestic market in the segment.
Synthetic diaphragms. ICF's synthetic diaphragms are used in carburetors, controls, meters, compressors, fuel pumps and other applications.
Specialty products. ICF manufactures a large number of miscellaneous specialty products, including V-cups for oil rig drills, expansion joints and urethane specialty items, such as fuel containers, commercial diaphragms and desiccant bags.
Military, marine and aerospace products. ICF produces coated fabrics used in truck and equipment covers, waterproof duffel bags, pneumatic air mattresses, collapsible tanks for fuel and water storage, temporary shelters, rafts, inflatable boats, various types of safety devices, pneumatic and electrical plane de-icers, specialty molded aircraft parts, aerospace fuel cells, aircraft evacuation slides, helicopter floats, surveillance balloons, environmental applications and miscellaneous items. A portion of ICF's work in this area is performed as a subcontractor on United States government contracts.
Automotive Airbag Materials. Reeves believes that ICF has the leading share of the domestic market for coated automotive airbag materials. ICF is a significant supplier of such material to TRW, Inc. ("TRW") and the Safety Restraints Division of Allied-Signal, Inc. ("Allied-Signal"). Allied-Signal supplies Morton International("Morton") with airbag components. TRW and Morton are two of four major domestic manufacturers of airbag systems and, together with Allied-Signal, supply all of the domestic automobile manufacturers and many of the European and Japanese automobile manufacturers. Reeves believes that TRW and Morton account for a majority of the worldwide market for airbag systems.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations currently mandate the use of both driver-side and passenger-side airbags for all 1998 model passenger cars and 1999 model year light trucks, vans and multipurpose vehicles ("LTVs"). A phase-in schedule establishes that at least 95% of a manufacturer's passenger cars built on or after September 1, 1996 for sale in the United States, must be equipped with an airbag at the driver's and the right front passenger's seating positions. All LTVs built after September 1, 1997, must have some form of automatic occupant protection, and at least 80% must have either driver-side or driver-side and passenger-side airbags.
Due to market demand for airbag-equipped vehicles, automobile manufacturers have been installing airbags (primarily driver-side) more extensively than required by the foregoing regulations. Reeves expects sales of airbag systems and associated fabrics to increase substantially in future years and believes that ICF is well-positioned to benefit from such growth.
Following the lead of the U.S. automobile manufacturers, European and Asian automobile manufacturers have begun installation of automotive airbags. No legislation or regulation presently requires the installation of airbags outside of the United States market. Reeves S.p.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Lodivecchio, Italy, has sufficient capacity for production of coated automotive airbag materials if demand develops outside of the United States for such products.
Reeves' participation in the airbag market to date has been through the use of coated airbag fabric in driver-side applications where coated airbag fabric offers certain advantages such as impermeability to allow rapid inflation. Coated airbag fabrics also act as an insulator to withstand the means of inflation (currently hot gases). Side-impact airbags (presently offered on certain models of Volvo, BMW and Mercedes Benz) are also expected to use coated airbag fabric.
Most passenger-side airbags are currently designed to use uncoated fabrics. Passenger-side airbags do not require coated fabrics because space is available to permit less rapid inflation of the airbag and impermeability is not required. Consequently, they can be manufactured at a lower cost using uncoated fabric. Reeves plans to participate in the growth of passenger-side applications through an expansion program capitalizing on its textile expertise and research and development efforts. As part of this program, Reeves has constructed a facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina for weaving fabric for both coated and uncoated airbag applications. The facility is producing fabric for customer review.
Through its research and development activities, Reeves is continuously working to develop new proprietary fabric technologies and procedures for the next generation of driver-side and passenger-side airbags. Airbag fabrics must meet rigorous specifications, testing and certification requirements and airbag fabric contracts tend to be awarded several years in advance. These factors may deter the entry of other manufacturers into this business.
ICF's direct sales force sells primarily to fabricators who use ICF's specialty coated fabrics in products sold to end-users.
Industrial Coverings Fabrics ICF sells coated fabrics to customers that produce a wide variety of industrial coverings, including truck tarpaulins, trailer covers, cargo covers, agricultural covers, hangar curtains, industrial curtains, boat covers, athletic field covers, play ground covers for Discovery Zone, temporary shelters, semi-bulk containers and specialized flotation devices used for the containment of oil spills and other environmental pollutants. ICF's industrial coverings fabrics are produced by the same methods as its specialty coated fabrics and are sold under the Coverlight registered trademark.
The industrial coverings fabrics business also includes coated fabric for loading dock shelters, which are pads or bumpers placed around the exterior of a loading dock door for weather sealing. ICF sells to manufacturers of loading dock shelter systems and believes it is the leading supplier of loading dock shelter material produced with rubber and other special elastomers.
ICF's sales force sells primarily to fabricators of industrial coverings who in turn sell to end-users. Sales personnel concentrate on the largest producers of industrial coverings and loading dock shelter systems in the United States.
Competition ICF's competitive environment varies by product line. For graphic arts products (in which Reeves believes it is one of the three leading firms), the Company's principal competitors are Day International and Polyfibron Technologies, formerly a division of W. R. Grace. To a lesser extent, ICF also competes with a number of other firms. In its specialty materials product line, ICF produces numerous products and competes in a number of highly fragmented market segments where competition varies by product. In the United States, competition comes from Chemprene, Archer Rubber, Seaman Corp., Cooley, Fairprene and selected foreign suppliers. Reeves' coated automotive airbag materials compete against those of Milliken and Highland Industries as well as several other small manufacturers. Quality, compliance with exacting product specifications, delivery terms and price are important factors in competing effectively in ICF's markets.
Principal Customers ICF did not have a customer accounting for more than 10% of consolidated Reeves' sales during the years 1992, 1993 or 1994.
APPAREL TEXTILE GROUP
The Apparel Textile Group ("ATG") consists of two divisions: Greige Goods and Finished Goods. ATG concentrates on segments of the market where its manufacturing flexibility, rapid response time, superior service, quality and the ability to supply customers with exclusive blends are key competitive factors.
ATG's Greige Goods Division processes raw materials into undyed woven fabrics known as greige goods. The Greige Goods Division manufactures greige goods of synthetic fibers, cotton, wool, silk, flax and various combinations of these fibers. Products of the Greige Goods Division are primarily utilized for apparel. The Greige Goods Division's most significant customers are outside converters and, to a lesser extent, ATG's Finished Goods Division.
Reeves believes that the Greige Goods Division is distinguished from its competitors by its ability to manufacture small yardage runs, its rapid response time, the high quality of its products and the ability to produce samples rapidly on demand. ATG's greige goods plants engage principally in short production runs producing specialty fabrics requiring a variety of blends and textures. Fabrics are produced by the Greige Goods Division according to an order backlog and are typically "sold ahead" three to four months in advance. Most of the Greige Goods Division's sales are sold under firm contracts.
ATG's Finished Goods Division functions as a converter and commission finisher. The Finished Goods Division purchases greige goods from the Greige Goods Division and other greige suppliers and either contracts to have such goods converted into finished fabrics of varying weights, colors, designs and finishes or converts them itself. The dyed and finished fabrics are used in various end-products and sold primarily to apparel manufacturers in the women's wear, rainwear/outerwear, men's-boy's and career apparel markets.
Reeves believes that ATG's Finished Goods Division is one of the most flexible operations of its kind in the United States due to the variety of products it can finish and the broad range of dyeing processes and finishes it is able to offer. The Finished Goods Division focuses on high value-added fabrics with unique colors and specialty finishes. The Finished Goods Division's fabrics are currently being used by a number of the leading men's and women's sportswear manufacturers and its dyeing and finishing services are sold to major domestic converters.
A wide variety of fabrics can be woven at the Greige Goods Division's two weaving plants. The dyeing and finishing plant of the Finished Goods Division is equipped to do a variety of piece dyeing, as well as to provide specialty finishings. This manufacturing flexibility increases ATG's ability to respond rapidly to changes in market demand.
Substantially all of ATG's products are sold directly to customers through its own sales force. The balance is sold through brokers and agents.
Competition The textile industry is highly competitive. While there are a number of integrated textile companies, many larger than ATG, no single company dominates the United States market. Competition from imported fabrics and garments continues to be a significant factor adversely affecting much of the domestic textile industry. The most important factors in competing effectively in ATG's product markets are service, price, quality, styling, texture, pattern design and color. ATG seeks to maintain its market position in the industry through a high degree of manufacturing flexibility, product quality and competitive pricing policies.
The Greige Goods Division distinguishes itself from its competitors by its ability to manufacture runs as small as 40,000 square yards, its rapid response time and the high quality of the products manufactured. The Greige Goods Division has extensive proprietary technical knowledge in the structure of its spinning and weaving operations, which Reeves believes represents a significant competitive advantage.
The Finished Goods Division is capable of finishing a wide variety of products and offers a broad range of dyeing processes and finishes. Reeves believes that this increases the Finished Goods Division's ability to respond rapidly to changes in market demand and enhances its competitive position.
Principal Customers ATG markets its fabrics to a wide range of customers including H.I.S., the THOMPSON (registered trademark) men's pants division of Salant Corporation, and V. F. Corporation. ATG also markets its fabrics to major retailers, including J. C. Penney and catalogue houses such as Patagonia, L. L. Bean and Eddie Bauer.
ATG did not have a customer accounting for more than 10% of consolidated Reeves' sales during the years 1992, 1993 or 1994.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
All of Reeves' foreign operations are conducted through Reeves S.p.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Lodivecchio, Italy. Reeves S.p.A. forms a part of Reeves' ICF Group. The following table provides approximate sales, net income and identifiable assets (in thousands) for each of the last three years attributable to Reeves S.p.A. In addition, Reeves' domestic operations generated export sales of approximately $6,898,000, $7,088,000 and $5,104,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively:
1992 1993 1994
Sales $ 38,444 $ 36,932 $ 41,339 Net income 9,165 7,446 6,989 Identifiable assets 31,608 33,092 39,738
The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in Reeves S.p.A.'s effective tax rate and a $3.5 million credit in 1992 related to the adoption of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS 109"). Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of the adoption of FAS 109 increased from $7.2 million in 1992 to $9.4 million in 1994.
The financial results of Reeves S.p.A. do not include any allocations of corporate expenses or consolidated interest expense.
BACKLOG
At December 31, 1994, Reeves had unfilled orders of approximately $64,024,000 as compared to approximately $56,462,000 at December 31, 1993. The following is a comparison, by Group, of open order backlogs at December 31 of each year presented (in thousands):
1992 1993 1994 Industrial Coated Fabrics Group $16,824 $17,072 $24,223 Apparel Textile Group 32,994 39,390 39,801 ------- ------- ------- Total $49,818 $56,462 $64,024 ======= ======= =======
The increase in ATG's backlog from 1992 to 1993 is due to the addition of several new Finished Goods Division customers. ATG's backlog increased in 1994 compared to 1993 due to growth in the greige goods business, offset by a decline in the finished goods business. The greige goods business increased as a result of Reeves' modernization and expansion program, which increased ATG's greige goods manufacturing capacity and allowed this Division to accept more orders. The finished goods business decreased due to a slow down in the 100% cotton goods retail market.
The increase in the ICF Domestic backlog from 1992 to 1994 is due to growth in the coated automotive airbag materials business and, to a lesser extent, growth in the offset printing blanket business.
The December 31, 1994, backlogs for ICF and ATG are reasonably expected to be filled in 1995. Under certain circumstances, orders may be cancelled at Reeves' discretion prior to the commencement of manufacturing. Any significant decrease in backlog resulting from lost customers could adversely affect future operations if these customers are not replaced in a timely manner.
RAW MATERIALS, MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
The principal raw materials used by ICF include polymeric resins, natural and synthetic elastomers, organic and inorganic pigments, aromatic and aliphatic solvents, polyurethanes and polyaramid and calendared fabrics. ATG principally utilizes cotton, wool, flax, specialty yarn, man-made fibers, including acrylics, polyesters, acetates, rayon and nylon and a wide variety of dyes and chemicals. Such raw materials are largely purchased in domestic markets and are available from a variety of sources. Reeves is not presently experiencing any difficulty in obtaining raw materials.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Reeves is subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to air emissions, water discharges, waste handling and disposal, workplace exposure and release of chemicals. During 1994, expenditures in connection with Reeves' compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations did not have a material adverse effect on its earnings, capital expenditures or competitive position. Although Reeves cannot predict what laws, regulations and policies may be adopted in the future, based on current regulatory standards, Reeves does not expect such expenditures to have a material adverse effect on its operations.
EMPLOYEES
On February 1, 1995, Reeves employed approximately 2,370 people, of whom 1,891 were in production, 184 were in general and administrative functions, 71 were in sales and 224 were at Reeves S.p.A. At such date, ICF had approximately 955 employees, including employees at Reeves S.p.A., ATG had approximately 1,305 employees, with the remainder of Reeves' employees in other and general and administrative positions.

(1) For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness, amortization of financing costs and debt discount, and one-third of all rentals, which is considered representative of the interest portion included therein, after adjustments for amounts related to discontinued operations. See Exhibit 12, Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges.
(2) Total assets include the assets of discontinued operations prior to disposal. In 1990, Reeves discontinued the operations of Reeves' ARA Automotive Group.
(3) During 1994 Reeves determined that the 1986 tax expense was understated by approximately $1,850,000 due to an error in the calculation of the 1986 tax provision. Accordingly during 1994, Reeves recorded an adjustment to retained earnings and income taxes payable of $1,850,000. The adjustment is reflected in Reeves' selected financial data as if it occurred on December 31, 1990. The decline in shareholder's equity from 1991 to 1992 primarily reflects translation adjustments of $6,626,000 caused by foreign currency fluctuations.
ITEM 7.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Reeves operates in two principal industry segments, Industrial Coated Fabrics and Apparel Textiles. The table below sets forth selected operating data (in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net sales) in each of the last three years for Reeves:
December 31, 1992 1993 1994
Net Sales $271,104 $283,653 $305,269
Operating income before restructuring charges $ 25,767 $ 29,097 $ 31,320 9.5% 10.3% 10.3%
Restructuring charges $ 1,003 $ 402 .4% .1%
Operating income $ 25,767 $ 28,094 $ 30,918 9.5% 9.9% 10.1%
1994 Compared to 1993
Net sales for 1994 increased $21.6 million or 7.6% to $305.3 million compared to $283.7 million in 1993. The increase is due to a 10.9% increase in sales of the Industrial Coated Fabrics Group, primarily increased sales of coated automotive airbag materials and offset printing blankets, and a 4.0% increase in the sale of apparel textiles, primarily finished goods.
Operating income before restructuring charges in 1994 increased 7.6% to $31.3 million or 10.3% of net sales. This compares to operating income before restructuring charges in 1993 of $29.1 million or 10.3% of net sales. Operating income, after restructuring charges in 1994 of $.4 million, increased 10.0% to $30.9 million or 10.1% of net sales.
Industrial Coated Fabrics
ICF reported a 10.9% increase in 1994 net sales to $156.0 million compared to $140.7 million in 1993. 1994 net sales increased primarily due to an 11.7% increase in domestic sales, primarily due to higher coated automotive airbag materials and offset printing blankets sales volumes. The increase in sales of coated automotive airbag fabrics and offset printing blankets was partially offset by a decrease in sales of specialty coated fabrics. The decrease in specialty coated fabrics sales was primarily due to lower sales of rubber specialty products used by the military.
ICF's operating income increased 5.6% to $30.9 million in 1994 compared to $29.3 million in 1993, and represented 19.8% of ICF's net sales in 1994 compared to 20.8% in 1993. The 5.6% increase in operating income in 1994 as compared to 1993 was primarily due to higher coated automotive airbag materials and offset printing blanket volume plus foreign currency exchange gains which resulted from the weakening of the Italian Lira against most other currencies. The increases were partially offset by lower unit volumes in specialty coated fabrics, primarily military related business.
Apparel Textiles
ATG reported a 4.0% increase in 1994 net sales to $146.6 million compared to $140.9 million in 1993. The increase is due to a higher sales volume of finished goods products offset by lower greige goods sales. Greige goods sales decreased primarily due to the cessation of weaving operations at the Woodruff, South Carolina facility.
ATG's operating income before restructuring charges increased 9.0% to $12.3 million in 1994 compared to $11.3 million in 1993, and represented 8.4% of ATG's net sales in 1994 compared to 8.0% in 1993. The 9.0% increase in operating income in 1994 as compared to 1993 was primarily due to the higher finished goods sales volume and an increase in the greige goods gross margins. The increase in operating income was offset by a decrease in finished goods gross margins, primarily due to lower prices.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses increased approximately 2.4% in 1994 compared to 1993. The increase is primarily due to higher legal fees and outside consulting fees related to strategic planning. Increases in corporate expenses were offset by lower pension and management incentive costs. The management fee paid to Hart Holding decreased in 1994 compared to 1993. The decrease was due to Reeves paying more of the expenses formerly covered by the management fee. Accordingly, the net effect on corporate expenses was not material.
Restructuring Charge
In 1994 Reeves recorded a facility restructuring charge of $.4 million. The one time charge, representing only costs incurred during 1994, related to the cessation of yarn operations at Reeves' Bessemer City, North Carolina facility and the transfer of those operations to Reeves' Woodruff, South Carolina yarn mill.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and amortization of financing costs and debt discount was $16.4 million compared to $16.4 million in 1993. Interest capitalized during 1994 as part of the cost of constructing and equipping the new weaving facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina was $419,000.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income from operations before income taxes for 1994 and 1993 was 39.7% and 33.7%, respectively. The effective income tax rate on income from operations differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the impact of goodwill amortization, Reeves S.p.A.'s lower effective tax rate of approximately 25.0% versus a statutory rate of 52.2% and the expiration of foreign tax credits.
1993 Compared to 1992
Net sales for 1993 increased $12.6 million or 4.6% to $283.7 million compared to $271.1 million in 1992. The increase is due to an 11.2% increase in the sale of industrial coated fabrics, primarily growth in sales of coated automotive airbag materials. Sales of apparel textiles decreased 1.3% in 1993 compared to 1992 due to a shift to basic, lower margin products, price competition, adverse recessionary influences affecting domestic textile markets and the cessation of ATG's weaving operations at its Woodruff, South Carolina facility in 1993.
Operating income before restructuring charges increased 12.9% to $29.1 million or 10.3% of net sales. This compares to 1992 operating income of $25.8 million or 9.5% of net sales. After restructuring charges of $1 million, Reeves' operating income increased 9.0% to $28.1 million or 9.9% of net sales.
Industrial Coated Fabrics
ICF reported an 11.2% increase in 1993 net sales to $140.7 million compared to $126.6 million in 1992. The increase in 1993 sales is primarily due to a 17.8% increase in domestic sales primarily due to an increase in the volume of coated automotive airbag materials caused by the increased use of driver-side airbags primarily in cars manufactured in the United States. The increase in coated automotive airbag materials sales was offset by a decrease in offset printing blanket sales. The decrease in offset printing blanket sales was primarily due to pricing pressures as a result of the slowdown in the printing industry.
ICF's operating income increased 18.4% compared to 1992 primarily due to the increase in sales of coated automotive airbag materials. Operating income from offset printing blankets declined in 1993 reflecting the worldwide slowdown in the printing industry partially offset by efficiencies experienced by Reeves S.p.A. related to increased material yields.
Apparel Textiles
ATG reported a 1.3% decrease in 1993 net sales to $140.9 million compared to $142.7 million in 1992. The decrease is primarily due to continued pricing pressures in the textile market and foreign competition.
ATG's operating income before restructuring charges increased 8.1% compared to 1992. The increase occurred even though sales decreased, as ATG continues to benefit from cost reductions derived from previous and current capital investments and other cost and manufacturing process improvements. In addition, ATG benefited from the restructuring of the weaving operations discussed in the Restructuring Charge section below.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses increased 21.9% to $11.8 million in 1993 compared to $9.7 million in 1992. The increase related primarily to increased staffing and compensation expense necessary to support corporate development activities and a $.5 million provision for costs related to Reeves' discontinued Buena Vista, Virginia, operation.
Restructuring Charge
In 1993 Reeves recorded a facility restructuring charge of $1 million. The one-time charge related primarily to the cessation of weaving activities at Reeves' Woodruff, South Carolina facility due to declining sales to the U.S. military, the conversion of that facility into a captive yarn mill and consolidation of weaving capacity at ATG's remaining facilities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense and amortization of financing costs and debt discounts decreased 7.0% to $16.4 million in 1993 compared to $17.6 million in 1992. The 7.0% decrease reflects the full year effect of the 1992 refinancing of Reeves' long-term debt and the redemption of $5.0 million of the 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income from operations before income taxes for 1993 and 1992 was 33.7% and 30.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rate on income from operations differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the impact of goodwill amortization, Reeves S.p.A.'s lower effective tax rate of approximately 22% versus a statutory rate of 52.2% and the valuation reserve established related to Reeves estimate of the benefit for utilization of foreign tax credits.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operations in 1994 was $19.1 million compared to $25.2 million in 1993. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily due to increases in (i) inventories, related to an expansion of operations, and (ii) other assets, related to the pre-operating costs associated with the new weaving facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In addition, cash provided by operations was higher in 1993 compared to 1994 due to receipt in 1993 of a tax refund receivable and proceeds from a lease transaction completed in 1992. Increases in net income, deferred income taxes and accounts payable, related to the expansion of operations, offset these decreases.
Cash provided by operations is the major internal source of liquidity and is supplemented by a revolving loan agreement with a group of banks which provides Reeves and Reeves Brothers with an aggregate $35.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement terminates April 1, 1996 and is secured by Reeves' accounts receivable and inventory. As of December 31, 1994, Reeves and Reeves Brothers had available borrowing, net of $1,250,000 of outstanding letters of credit, of $20,250,000 under the Credit Agreement. Management believes the funding available is sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs.
Reeves, as a result of a June 1992 public offering, has outstanding $121,841,000, net of unamortized discount of $659,000, of 11% Senior Notes due July 15, 2002. In addition, Reeves has outstanding $10,937,000, net of unamortized discount of $63,000, of 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures, payable $6,000,000 on May 1, 1999 and $5,000,000 on May 1, 2000.
Reeves' debt instruments (the 11% Senior Notes, 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures and the Credit Agreement) contain certain restrictive covenants. See Footnote 8, Long-Term Debt, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Reeves.
In May 1994, Reeves received a $12.0 million commitment from an equipment lessor for long-term operating leases of equipment. This commitment was increased to $18.8 million in August 1994. As of December 31, 1994, $14.8 was utilized. Reeves believes that the balance will be utilized in 1995.
Reeves believes that its cash flow from operations, available leasing capacity and funds available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and debt service obligations in future years.
Investment Activities
Capital expenditures were $15.8 million, $16.5 million and $27.3 million in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. During 1994, Reeves constructed a facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina for weaving fabric for both coated and uncoated automotive airbag materials applications and expanded its Chesnee, South Carolina facility. Reeves plans to continue the modernization of its manufacturing operations and expand its automotive airbag materials capacity with capital spending in 1995 anticipated to approximate $30.5 million.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Management believes that the relatively moderate rate of inflation has had minimal impact on Reeves' operating results over the last three years.

PENSION PLANS
Reeves sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all of its domestic salaried and hourly employees. Reeves' funding policy is to fund at least the minimum amount required by the employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Effective June 1, 1994, The Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan for Hourly employees merged into The Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Salaried Plan") with the Salaried Plan surviving the merger. Concurrent with the merger, the Salaried Plan changed its name to the "Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan" (the "Pension Plan"). Pursuant to the merger, the general provisions of the Salaried Plan govern the benefits earned by the participants of the Pension Plan subsequent to the merger. The Pension Plan benefits are based on an employee's years of accredited service.
The basic annual benefit for salaried employees under the Pension Plan is equal to 12 times 1.5% of the average W-2 earnings for the highest five consecutive calendar years of compensation multiplied by the years of service less the Social Security benefit.

Notes To Pension Plan Table
(A)(1) Compensation covered by the tax-qualified salaried employees Pension Plan each year is generally all compensation reported on a participant's Form W-2. The plan's formula is based on average compensation for the participant's highest five consecutive calendar years. However, except in the cases of Messrs. Cartagine and Lenoci, compensation for any year is limited by the compensation cap for that year under section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). For 1993, that limit was $235,840. Under a supplemental non-qualified plan, Messrs. Cartagine and Lenoci would receive a supplemental pension benefit to make up the limitation of section 401 (a)(17) of the Code upon retirement in accordance with the Pension Plan. The retirement benefit payable under the supplemental plan to Messrs. Cartagine and Lenoci, assuming retirement at age 65 and increases in covered compensation of five percent per year, would be $45,000 and $62,000, respectively.
(2) Starting in 1994, the maximum annual compensation under applicable IRS Regulations that may be taken into account is $150,000. Participants in the Pension Plan prior to 1994 may have accrued higher benefits than those shown in the table to the extent their average highest compensation exceeded $150,000. Those higher accrued benefits are preserved by law.
(3) For 1995, the Pension Plan's maximum benefit under applicable IRS Regulations is $120,000.
(B) Years of service for named executive officers:

Effective December 31, 1991, Hart Holding exchanged its 1,000 shares of Reeves Series I Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, valued in the aggregate at $9,410,000, for 18,820,000 shares of Reeves common stock, par value $.01 per share, valued at $.50 per share. This transaction resulted in Hart Holding's percentage ownership in Reeves' common stock increasing from 86.7% to 93.5%.
Pursuant to a November 1992 court-ordered settlement of a lawsuit brought by Hart Holding and Reeves against Drexel Burnham Lambert and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "the Defendants"), Reeves received 1,918,132 shares of its common stock from the Defendants which were subsequently cancelled and retired. This transaction resulted in Hart Holding's percentage ownership in Reeves common stock increasing from 93.5% to 98.6%.
Effective October 25, 1993, HHCI, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Hart Holding, merged with and into the Registrant with the Registrant surviving the merger. HHCI, Inc. was formed as a shell corporation (no operations) with a $300,000 capital contribution from Hart Holding. As a result of this merger, Hart Holding was issued 535,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock. Additionally, the Registrant purchased 481,307 shares of its common stock not held by Hart Holding and the shares were subsequently cancelled and retired. As a result of this merger, Hart Holding owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Registrant.
During 1992, Reeves purchased the residences of three officers of Reeves, Jennifer H. Fray, Douglas B. Hart, and Steven W. Hart, for $215,000, $225,000 and $575,000, respectively. In each case, the price paid was less than a current appraisal on such property or, in the case of Jennifer H. Fray, less than the cost of such property in 1990 plus the cost of improvements. The Board of Directors determined at the time that the price for each residence was not greater than the fair market value for such property. During 1993 and 1994, Reeves recognized a loss of approximately $161,000 and $105,000, respectively, on the sale of the properties including related expenses.

REEVES INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1994
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Reeves Industries, Inc. ("Reeves" or the "Company"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of Hart Holding Company Incorporated ("Hart Holding" or the "Parent"), is a holding company whose principal asset is the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reeves Brothers, Inc. ("Reeves Brothers"). The Company was acquired by Hart Holding on May 6, 1986. Reeves is a diversified industrial company engaged in two business segments: industrial coated fabrics and apparel textiles.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reeves Brothers. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for approximately 27% and 31% of total inventories was determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. With respect to the remainder of the inventories, cost is determined principally on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Market is determined on the basis of replacement costs or selling prices less costs of disposal. The application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, for the acquisition of Reeves caused the inventories in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet to exceed inventories used for income tax purposes by approximately $6,833,000 as of December 31, 1994.
Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Improvements which extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is provided using primarily the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes while accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income.
The Company capitalizes interest as part of the cost of constructing major facilities and equipment. Interest capitalized during 1992, 1993 and 1994 was $0, $0 and $419,000, respectively.
Fair value of financial instruments Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's 11% Senior Notes is determined based upon a recent market price quote and is disclosed in Note 8. The fair value of the Company's 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturity. The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts (used for hedging purposes) is estimated using quoted exchange rates and is disclosed in Note 12.
Foreign currency exchange and translation For Reeves Brothers' wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, the local currency of the country of operation is used as the functional currency for purposes of translating the local currency asset and liability accounts at current exchange rates into the reporting currency. The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of shareholder's equity reflected in the equity adjustments from translation account in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from translating asset and liability accounts that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedges are included in income. Gains and losses on long-term intercompany transactions are recorded net of tax in the equity adjustments from translation account.
Amortization policy The Company is amortizing goodwill on a straight-line basis over forty years. Financing costs and debt discounts are being amortized by the interest method over the life of the respective debt securities. Pre-operating costs associated with significant new operations are deferred and amortized over five years or the life of the asset associated with the pre-operating costs, which is generally five to seven years.
Revenue recognition Sales are generally recorded when the goods are shipped. At the customer's request, shipment of the completed product is sometimes delayed. In such instances, revenues are recognized when the customer acknowledges transfer of title and accepts the related billing.
Income taxes The Company is a member of an affiliated group of which Hart Holding is the common parent. Pursuant to a tax allocation agreement with Hart Holding, the Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with Hart Holding. Under the agreement, the Company's tax liability is determined on a separate return basis and any taxes payable are remitted to Hart Holding.
During 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Income tax accounting information is disclosed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
The provision for income taxes was based on reported earnings before income taxes and includes appropriate provisions for deferred income taxes resulting from the tax effect of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
At December 31, 1994, unremitted earnings of the foreign subsidiary were approximately $26,500,000. United States income taxes have not been provided on these unremitted earnings as it is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings. However, the foreign subsidiary has, in previous years, remitted a portion of its current year earnings as dividends and expects to continue this practice in the future.
Pension plans The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering all eligible domestic employees (Note 10).
Statement of cash flows For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid investment securities with an original maturity of three months or less.
Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1993 consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.
3. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During 1993 and 1994, the Company implemented restructuring plans to reduce the Company's overall cost structure and to improve productivity. The Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1993 includes a charge of approximately $1,003,000 related to the plan implemented in 1993 (the "1993 Plan"). The 1993 Plan includes the cessation of weaving activities at one location and conversion of that facility into a captive yarn mill, consolidating weaving capacity at remaining facilities and implementing cost saving/state-of-the-art finishing technology. The Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes a charge, representing only costs incurred during 1994, of approximately $402,000 related to the plan implemented in 1994 (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan includes the cessation of yarn operations at one location and the transfer of those operations to another location.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1994 are comprised of the following (in thousands):
1993 1994
Raw materials $ 6,815 $ 7,591 Work in process 8,792 8,536 Manufactured and finished goods 18,362 19,782 ------- ------- $33,969 $35,909 ======= =======
If inventories had been calculated on a current cost basis, they would have been valued higher by approximately $2,038,000 and $2,397,500 at December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The principal categories of property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1993 and 1994 are as follows (in thousands):
1993 1994
Land and land improvements $ 797 $ 735 Buildings and improvements 16,570 23,232 Machinery and equipment 56,555 65,719 Construction in progress 8,929 17,077 -------- -------- 82,851 106,763 Less - Accumulated depreciation and amortization (31,436) (36,134) -------- -------- $ 51,415 $ 70,629 ======== ========
On June 13, 1994 and December 13, 1994, the Company entered into Inducement Agreements (the "Inducement Agreements") with Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and Lee County, South Carolina, respectively (the "Counties"), under South Carolina Code Section 4-29-67 (the "Statute"). The Inducement Agreements provide the Company an incentive to make capital investments in the Counties in the form of qualified investments in land, buildings, and/or machinery and equipment by allowing the Company to pay a fee in lieu of ad valorem property taxes. The Company must make capital investments equal to $85 million in the Counties beginning in 1994 and continuing through December 31, 1999. Under the Statute, the investment threshold will be lowered in the event that the Company meets certain job creation levels. Should the Company not invest the specified threshold amounts by December 31, 1999, the Company will pay the difference between the ad valorem taxes that would have been due and the actual fee paid plus interest. Qualified investments, which include assets leased under operating leases, total $22,490,000 at December 31, 1994.
On December 29, 1994, the Company entered into the agreements required by the Statute whereby the Company transferred to the Counties title to certain qualifying assets placed in productive use in 1994 (the "Assets"). The Company retains all rights associated with the possession and use of the Assets, and the Counties cannot transfer or otherwise dispose of the Assets except as requested in writing by the Company. The Company can reacquire title to the Assets at any time for $1.00.
The sole purpose and the economic substance of this transaction is to establish the property tax incentive permitted under the Statute. The Company does not believe an economic transfer of the Assets has occurred. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded the transfer of title to the Assets to the Counties in the Company's financial statements. The net book value at December 31, 1994 of Assets to which nominal title was transferred to the Counties is $12,190,000.
6. OTHER LONG-TERM ASSETS

11% Senior Notes due July 15, 2002, net of unamortized discount of $747 and $659 $121,753 $121,841 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures due May 1, 2000, net of unamortized discount of $76 and $63 10,924 10,937 Revolving loan payable to bank 13,500 -------- -------- $132,677 $146,278 ======== ========
In June 1992, the Company completed a public offering of $122,500,000 of 11% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes"). Proceeds of the offering were used to redeem all of the Company's then outstanding 12 1/2% Senior Notes and 13% Senior Subordinated Debentures and to pay and terminate the revolving loan outstanding under a prior loan agreement.
In connection with the liquidation of the 12 1/2% Senior Notes, the 13% Senior Subordinated Debentures and the prior revolving loan, the Company paid early payment premiums of $4,601,000 and wrote off related debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $3,016,000. In addition, during 1992, the Company purchased $5,000,000 face value of its 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures for $5,275,000. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss in 1992 of $5,775,000 ($.16 per share), net of applicable income tax benefits of $2,974,000.
Reeves is required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the remaining 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures of $6,000,000 on May 1, 1999 and $5,000,000 on May 1, 2000.
On August 7, 1992, Reeves and Reeves Brothers entered into a credit agreement, as amended, (the "Credit Agreement") with a group of banks which provides the Company and Reeves Brothers with an aggregate $35,000,000 revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Loan") and letter of credit facility. The Revolving Loan bears interest at the Alternate Base Rate (defined below) plus 1 1/2% or Eurodollar Rate plus 2 1/2%, at the election of the borrower. The Alternate Base Rate is defined as the higher of the Prime Rate (8.5% at December 31, 1994), Base CD Rate plus 1%, or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2%. The Alternate Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate decline based on a ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as defined. The Revolving Loan weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1994 was 8.9%. The Revolving Loan is due April 1, 1996. The Revolving Loan is secured by Reeves Brothers' accounts receivable and inventory. As of December 31, 1994, the Company and Reeves had available borrowings, net of $1,250,000 of outstanding letters of credit, of $20,250,000 under the Revolving Loan. A commitment fee of 1/2% per annum is required on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan.
The Senior Notes, Credit Agreement, and 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures contain certain restrictive covenants with respect to Reeves and Reeves Brothers including, among other things, maintenance of working capital, limitations on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and certain liens, restrictions on capital expenditures, mergers or acquisitions, investments and transactions with affiliates, and require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and compliance with certain financial tests and limitations.
Interest paid, including that related to discontinued operations, amounted to $12,350,000, $15,306,000 and $15,753,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes and 13 3/4% Subordinated Debentures at December 31, 1994 is $122,500,000 and $10,919,000, respectively.
9. INCOME TAXES
During the third quarter of 1992, the Company adopted FAS 109 effective as of the beginning of 1992. Under FAS 109, in the year of adoption, previously reported results of operations for the year are restated to reflect the effects of applying FAS 109, and the cumulative effect of adoption on prior years' results of operations is shown in the income statement in the year of change. The adoption of FAS 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's 1992 income from continuing operations before income taxes.
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations is comprised of the following (in thousands):
1992 1993 1994 Current: Federal $ (401) $1,278 $ 934 Foreign 954 811 1,596 State 174 138 241 ------ ------ ------ 727 2,227 2,771 ------ ------ ------ Deferred: Federal 983 945 2,063 Foreign 641 826 832 State 242 3 117 ------ ------ ------ $2,593 $4,001 $5,783 ====== ====== ======
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations differs from taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax rate as follows (in thousands):
1992 1993 1994
Consolidated computed statutory taxes $2,914 $4,050 $5,002 State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 275 93 236 Amortization of goodwill 456 456 456 Foreign tax rate less than statutory rate (868) (1,451) (774) Expiring foreign tax credits 1,577 Other, net (184) 53 86 Valuation reserve 800 (800) ------ ------ ------ $2,593 $4,001 $5,783 ====== ====== ======
In 1990, Reeves Brothers' foreign subsidiary implemented a reorganization allowed under the applicable country's income tax laws. This transaction resulted in the foreign subsidiary revaluing upward its net assets for income tax purposes. Additional depreciation and amortization relating to this revaluation is deductible in determining income tax expense for both financial and income tax reporting. The effect of this revaluation resulted in the foreign subsidiary's effective income tax rate declining from its statutory rate of approximately 52.2% to 22% for both 1992 and 1993 and approximately 25% for 1994.
Deferred tax liabilities (assets) under FAS 109 are comprised of the following temporary differences (in thousands):
1993 1994 Deferred tax liabilities Inventories $ 2,584 $ 2,392 Depreciation 1,783 2,145 Amortization 1,100 ------- ------- $ 4,367 $ 5,637 ======= =======

Income taxes paid amounted to approximately $2,406,000, $1,686,000 and $2,016,000 in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
10. PENSION PLANS
The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all of its domestic salaried and hourly employees. The Company's funding policy is to fund at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Effective June 1, 1994, The Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Hourly Plan") was merged into The Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Salaried Plan") with the Salaried Plan surviving the merger. Concurrent with the merger, the Salaried Plan changed its name to the "Reeves Brothers, Inc. Pension Plan" (the "Pension Plan"). Pursuant to the merger, the general provisions of the Salaried Plan will begin to govern the benefits earned by the participants of the Pension Plan subsequent to the merger. The Pension Plan benefits are based on an employee's years of accredited service.
The Pension Plan also provides benefits to both the ARA union and non-union employees in accordance with their separate benefit calculations. The ARA non-union plan was merged with the Hourly Plan effective December 1990; the ARA union plan was merged with the Hourly Plan effective April 1993.
The following table presents the funded status of the Pension Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1994 (in thousands):
1993 1994 Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation: Vested $19,300 $18,145 Nonvested 914 663 ------- ------- Accumulated benefit obligation $20,214 $18,808 ======= =======

Plan assets consist primarily of fixed income securities, equity securities, and certificates of deposit.
Pension cost includes the following components (in thousands):
1992 1993 1994 Service cost - benefits earned during the period $ 942 $ 936 $1,243 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 1,456 1,643 1,623 Actual return on plan assets (2,961) (2,531) (2,106) Net amortization and deferral 1,351 754 125 ------ ------ ------ Pension cost $ 788 $ 802 $ 885 ====== ====== ======
A weighted average discount rate of 7.25% and 8.0%, and rate of increase in future compensation of 5.0% and 5.5% were used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation in 1993 and 1994, respectively. The long-term expected rate of return on assets was 8.0% in 1993 and 1994.
In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("FAS 106"), which requires accrual, during an employee's active years of service, of the expected costs of providing postretirement benefits to employees and their beneficiaries and dependents. The Company adopted FAS 106 in 1992, the effect of which was not material to the financial statements.
11. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
Capital stock The capitalization of Reeves consists of one class of common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"). 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock remain authorized, with no Preferred Stock currently outstanding.
Retained Earnings During 1994 the Company determined that the 1986 tax expense was understated by approximately $1,850,000 due to an error in the calculation of the 1986 tax provision. Accordingly, during 1994, the Company recorded an adjustment to retained earnings and income taxes payable of $1,850,000. The adjustment is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as if it occurred on December 31, 1991.
Settlement of litigation In November 1992, pursuant to a court ordered settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Company against Drexel Burnham Lambert and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Defendants"), Reeves received 1,918,132 shares of its common stock from the Defendants which were subsequently cancelled and retired.
Merger with HHCI, Inc. Effective October 25, 1993, HHCI, Inc., a newly formed, wholly- owned subsidiary of Hart Holding, merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger. HHCI, Inc. was formed as a shell corporation (no operations) with a $300,000 capital contribution from Hart Holding. As a result of the merger, Hart Holding was issued 535,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, the Company purchased the 481,307 shares of its common stock not held by Hart Holding and the shares were subsequently cancelled and retired. As a result of this merger, Hart Holding owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.
Non-qualified Stock Option On January 26, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a non- qualified stock option agreement between the Company and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The agreement grants options to purchase up to 3,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share, and has an expiration date of December 31, 2023. The options contain an exercise price of $.56 per share for 1,400,000 shares (exercisable immediately), $.75 per share for 1,400,000 shares (exercisable one year from grant date) and $1.00 per share for 1,000,000 shares (exercisable two years from grant date).
12. FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The Company's foreign subsidiary enters into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge certain firm sales commitments and certain anticipated but not yet committed sales expected to be denominated in currencies other than the Italian Lire. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual Lire cash flows resulting from sales to international customers will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The term of the foreign currency exchange contracts usually does not exceed one year. Counterparties to the forward currency exchange contracts are major Italian financial institutions. Credit loss from counterparty nonperformance is not anticipated.
At December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding, equivalent to $14,883,000 and $0, respectively, to exchange various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Deutsche mark, and French franc into Italian Lire. Gross deferred unrealized gains and losses from hedging firm sales commitments and anticipated but not yet committed sales transactions, based on market prices, were a $23,000 gain and a $499,000 loss at December 31, 1993. The contracts outstanding at December 31, 1993 matured during 1994 and all gains or losses on the contracts were recognized in earnings in 1994. The December 31, 1993, fair value of these foreign currency contracts as hedge instruments was $14,407,000.
13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which the Company's products are sold, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. As a result, at December 31, 1994, the Company does not consider itself to have any significant concentrations of credit risk.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company and its subsidiary paid management fees to Hart Holding of $1,910,000, $1,804,000 and $980,000, respectively.
During 1992, Reeves purchased the residences of three officers of Reeves for an aggregate amount of $1,015,000. During 1993 and 1994, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $161,000 and $105,000, respectively, on the sale of the properties including related expenses.
15. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
