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

Item 1. Business.
General Development of Business. Trinity Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1933. On March 27, 1987, Trinity became a Delaware corporation by merger into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the same name.
Narrative Description of Business and Financial Information About Industry Segments. The Registrant is engaged in the manufacture, marketing, and leasing of a variety of metal products consisting principally of (1) "Railcars" (i.e. railroad freight cars), principally tank cars, hopper cars, gondola cars, intermodal cars and miscellaneous other freight cars; (2) "Marine Products" such as boats, barges and various offshore service vessels for ocean and inland waterway service and military vessels for the United States Government and, to a limited extent, various size vessels for international ocean transportation companies; (3) "Construction Products" such as highway guardrail and highway and railway bridges, power plants, mills, etc, highway safety products, passenger loading bridges and conveyor systems for airports and other people and baggage conveyance requirements, ready-mix concrete production and aggregates including distribution, and providing raw material to owners, contractors and sub- contractors for use in the building and foundation industry; (4) "Containers" such as (a) extremely large, heavy pressure vessels and other heavy welded products including industrial silencers, desalinators, evaporators, and gas processing systems, (b) pressure and non-pressure containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases, brewery products and other liquid and dry products, and (c) heat transfer equipment for the chemical, petroleum and petrochemical industries; (5) "Metal Components" such as weld fittings (tees, elbows, reducers, caps, flanges, etc.) used in pressure piping systems and container heads (the ends of pressure and non-pressure containers) for use internally and by other manufacturers of containers; and (6) "Leasing" of Registrant manufactured railcars and barges to various industries.
Various financial information concerning the Registrant's industry segments for each of the last three fiscal years is included in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders on page 22 under the heading "Segment Information", and such section is incorporated herein by reference.
Railcars. The Registrant manufactures railroad freight cars, principally pressure and non-pressure tank cars, hopper cars, intermodal cars and gondola cars used for transporting a wide variety of liquids, gases and dry cargo. Tank cars transport products such as liquefied petroleum gas, liquid fertilizer, sulfur, sulfuric acids and corn syrup. Covered hopper cars carry cargo such as grain, dry fertilizer, plastic pellets and cement. Open-top hoppers haul coal, and top-loading gondola cars transport a variety of heavy bulk commodities such as scrap metals, finished flat steel products, machinery and lumber. Intermodal cars transport various products which have been loaded in containers.
Marine Products. The Registrant manufactures a variety of marine products pursuant to customer orders. It produces various types of vessels for offshore service including supply, crew, fishing and other types of boats. The Registrant is currently constructing various military vessels for both the United States Army and Navy. The Registrant produces river hopper barges which are used to carry coal, grain and miscellaneous commodities. The purchasers of the Registrant's marine products include inland waterway marine operators, offshore oil and gas drillers and operators, international ocean transportation companies, barge transport companies and domestic and foreign governmental authorities.
Construction Products. The construction products manufactured by the Registrant include beams, girders, columns, highway guardrail and highway safety devices and related barrier products, ready-mix concrete and aggregates, passenger loading bridges, and baggage handling systems. These products are used in the bridge, highway construction and building industries and airports. Some of the sales of beams, girders and columns are to general contractors and subcontractors on highway construction projects. Generally, customers for highway guardrail and highway safety devices are highway departments or subcontractors on highway projects. Passenger loading bridges and conveyor systems are generally sold to contractors, airports, or airlines as part of airport terminal equipment. Ready-mix concrete and aggregates are used in the building and foundation industry and customers include primarily owners, contractors and sub- contractors.
Containers. The Registrant is engaged in manufacturing metal containers consisting of extremely large, heavy pressure vessels and other heavy welded products, including industrial silencers, desalinators, evaporators, and gas processing systems and for the storage and transportation of liquefied petroleum ("LP") gas and anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. Pressure LP gas containers are utilized at industrial plants, utilities, small businesses and in suburban and rural areas for residential heating and cooking needs. Fertilizer containers are manufactured for highway and rail transport, bulk storage, farm storage and the application and distribution of anhydrous ammonia. The Registrant also makes heat transfer equipment for the chemical, petroleum and petrochemical industries and a complete line of custom vessels, standard steam jacketed kettles, mix cookers, and custom-fabricated cooking vessels for the food, meat, dairy, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries.
Metal Components. The metal components manufactured by the Registrant are made from ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their alloys and consist principally of butt weld type fittings, flanges and pressure and non-pressure container heads. The weld fittings include caps, elbows, return bends, concentric and eccentric reducers, full and reducing outlet tees, and a full line of pipe flanges, all of which are pressure rated. The Registrant manufactures and stocks, in standard, extra-heavy and double- extra-heavy weights and in various diameters, weld caps, tees, reducers, elbows, return bends, flanges and also manufactures to customer specifications. The basic raw materials for weld fittings and flanges are carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, chrome-moly and other metal tubing or seamless pipe and forgings. The Registrant sells its weld fittings and flanges to distributors and to other manufacturers of weld fittings.
Container heads manufactured by the Registrant are pressed metal components used in the further manufacture of a finished product. Since the manufacture of container heads requires a substantial investment in heavy equipment and dies, many other manufacturers order container heads from the Registrant. Container heads are manufactured in various shapes and may be pressure rated or non-pressure, depending on the intended use in further manufacture. Other pressed shapes are also hot- or cold-formed to customer requirements.
Leasing. The Company has one wholly-owned leasing subsidiary, Trinity Industries Leasing Company ("TILC"), which was incorporated in 1979. TILC is engaged in leasing specialized types of railcars, consisting of both tank cars and hopper cars, to industrial companies in the petroleum, chemical, grain, food processing, fertilizer and other industries which supply cars to the railroads. At March 31, 1994, TILC had under lease 10,366 railcars. TILC owns 219 river hopper barges which are operated under an agreement which provides for management of the barges. The barges are generally used for movement of commodities on the inland waterway system, primarily the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
Substantially all equipment leased by TILC was purchased from the Registrant at prices comparable to the prices for equipment sold by the Registrant to third parties. As of March 31, 1994, TILC had equipment on lease or available for lease purchased from the Registrant at a cost of $536.1 million. Generally, TILC purchases the equipment to be leased only after a lessee has committed to lease such equipment.
The volume of equipment purchased and leased by TILC depends upon a number of factors, including the demand for equipment manufactured by the Registrant, the cost and availability of funds to finance the purchase of equipment, the Registrant's decision to solicit orders for the purchase or lease of equipment and factors which may affect the decision of the Registrant's customers as to whether to purchase or lease equipment.
Although the Registrant is not contractually obligated to offer to TILC equipment proposed to be leased by the Registrant's customers, it is the Registrant's intention to effect all such leasing transactions through TILC. Similarly, while TILC is not contractually obligated to purchase from the Registrant any equipment proposed to be leased, TILC intends to purchase and lease all equipment which the Registrant's customers desire to lease when the lease rentals and other terms of the proposed lease are satisfactory to TILC, subject to the availability and cost of funds to finance the acquisition of the equipment.
Marketing, Raw Materials, Employees and Competition. The Registrant operates only in the continental United States. The Registrant sells substantially all of its products through its own salesmen operating from offices in Montgomery, Alabama; Elizabethtown and Paducah, Kentucky; Shreveport, Louisiana; Flint, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Gulfport, Mississippi; Asheville, North Carolina; Cincinnati and Girard, Ohio; Beaumont, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston and Navasota, Texas; and Centerville, Utah. Independent sales representatives are also used to a limited extent. The Registrant markets railcars, containers and metal components throughout the United States. Except in the case of weld fittings, guardrail, and standard size LP gas containers, the Registrant's products are ordinarily fabricated to the customer's specifications pursuant to a purchase order.
The principal materials used by the Registrant are steel plate, structural steel shapes and steel forgings. There are numerous domestic and foreign sources of such steel and most other materials used by the Registrant.
The Registrant currently has approximately 14,700 employees, of which approximately 13,450 are production employees and 1,250 are administrative, sales, supervisory and office employees.
There are numerous companies located throughout the United States that are engaged in the business of manufacturing various railcars and containers of the types manufactured by the Registrant, and these industries are highly competitive. Companies manufacturing products which compete with the Registrant's construction products consist of numerous other structural fabricators and ready-mix concrete producers, most of which are smaller than the Registrant. Small shipyards located on inland waterways and medium to large size shipyards located on or near ports on navigable waterways produce marine products which compete with those manufactured by the Registrant. Both domestic and foreign manufacturers of metal components, some of which are larger than the Registrant, compete with the Registrant. A number of well-established companies actively compete with TILC in the business of owning and leasing railcars, as well as banks, investment partnerships and other financial and commercial institutions.
Recent Developments. Information concerning the Registrant's business acquisitions are included in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders under the heading "Business Acquisitions," (pages 23 through 24) and such section is incorporated herein by reference.
Other Matters. The Registrant is not materially affected by federal, state and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. To date, the Registrant has not suffered any material shortages with respect to obtaining sufficient energy supplies to operate its various plant facilities or its transportation vehicles. Future limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum products (particularly natural gas for plant operations and diesel fuel for vehicles) could have an adverse effect upon the Registrant's ability to conduct its business. The likelihood of such an occurrence or its duration, and its ultimate effect on the Registrant's operations, cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
All machinery and equipment and the buildings occupied by the Registrant are maintained in good condition. The Registrant estimates that its plant facilities were utilized during the fiscal year at an average of approximately 60 percent of present productive capacity for railcars, 70 percent for Marine Products, 75 percent for Construction Products, 65 percent for Containers, and 75 percent for Metal Components.

1994 President's Letter Trinity Industries, Inc.
The past year has been a good one for Trinity Industries, Inc. Increased demand for our products spurred internal expansion and strategic acquisitions. Our continued dedication to providing quality products, outstanding service, and competitive prices has been apparent in our ability to maintain or improve our market share in virtually every business segment we serve. Each of our business segments is strong and competitive. Yet, we constantly are seeking ways to operate more efficiently. In this rapidly changing technological age, our employees receive valuable training using advanced methods which result in production enhancement. We constantly monitor technological advancements to provide our employees with the necessary tools for producing quality products in a timely and cost effective manner.
Our employees have demonstrated a remarkable team effort which has improved communications between all employees. This communication results in more productive employee teams which are capable of meeting production challenges. Our employees are better trained and more experienced than ever before. The Company is committed to manufacturing quality products at competitive prices in surroundings that are secure for employees, environmentally discerning, and socially conscious. Opportunities exist worldwide for our various business segments. Our product diversification is attracting considerable interest both nationally and internationally and has led us to make strategic acquisitions over the past year. All of these factors serve to strengthen our workforce and streamline our operations. Our employees, as well as our customers, suppliers, and stockholders are realizing the benefits of this company-wide effort.
For its 1994 fiscal year, Trinity reported record revenues and net income. There was an increase in revenues and income before cumulative effect of accounting change for income taxes of 16% and 52%, respectively. In the twelve month period ended March 31, 1994, revenues were $1.78 billion, and the Company recorded income before cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes of $68.3 million, or $1.69 per share. Net income was $76.2 million, or $1.89 per share. For the twelve months of the prior fiscal year, net income of $45.0 million, or $1.27 per share, was recorded on revenues of $1.54 billion. In the three months ended March 31, 1994, revenues totalled $452.7 million. Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes of $15.2 million, or $0.38 per share, was recorded. In the prior year's comparable quarter, net income of $14.7 million, or $0.40 per share, was recorded on revenues of $388.9 million.
Both our Railcars and Marine Products business segments are experiencing growth and are in the enviable position of having an increase in orders on hand. We see the replacement of aging railcars as the contributing factor to the reinvigorated railcar industry. Our Marine Products segment is, likewise, seeing an increased demand for marine vessels and barge replacements. We are maintaining a program of construction, renovation and expansion to accommodate this growth, and we are installing advanced computer and robotics systems to aid in planning, assembly and delivery of our products. Barring a significant downturn in the economy, the increasing demand for both of these business segments should continue.
Trinity's Construction Products segment continues to generate new business through strategic entries into markets throughout the United States and expansion of our product lines. We expect to see continued growth opportunities in the upgrading of our nation's transportation system and improvements in residential, commercial and industrial markets.
Our Containers segment is composed of two different groups of products. The first group of products is custom specialty vessels to the chemical, petrochemical, refining, food and other industries requiring large, heavy, close tolerance welding and machining in a variety of metals. Although there has been intense competition during the past year, customers are now seeking numerous quotes from us. Probably being fueled by the effective dates of the recent clean air act, this leading indicator usually forecasts a sharp increase in orders on hand.
The second group of products is more oriented to volume production of many similar containers - rather than one of a kind. Generally referred to as the Liquified Petroleum Gases ("LPG") containers, this group of products is influenced by the increase in homebuilding. We have invested in substantial upgrades in our finishing processes which gives our LPG Containers a superior appearance - similar to that of major home appliances. This investment has resulted in Trinity moving ahead in market position.
Our Metal Components segment continues to provide reliable, responsive service to the chemical, petrochemical, process and refining industries with an even broader offering of quality products anticipated in the year ahead. We will maintain our focus by expanding product lines, striving for the best manufacturing technology available, pursuing cost effective measures, and meeting the needs of our customers.
Serving customers as an alternative to ownership of Trinity products is our Leasing segment. Leasing of railcars and LPG tanks by Trinity to qualified customers gives the customer flexibility in cash management and administrative procedures. The Leasing segment assists in the marketing of Trinity's products.
We expect each of our business segments to prosper in the coming year as they support each other, serve expanding markets, and contribute to the success of our customers and Trinity. Our infrastructure and operating strategy will provide us with the competitive edge for the future.
My outlook for Trinity is one of great optimism for the rest of this decade. Based on our current performance, I foresee more success in the coming year as we meet the needs of our customers. As we work together to provide quality products, deliver excellent service, and compete for the best market value -- customers, suppliers, stockholders, and employees will benefit, and Trinity will prosper. It has been a very good year, and I am extremely grateful to each of you for your loyalty and support. Together, we will make fiscal 1995 even better.
Railcars
Trinity's Railcars segment manufactures a full line of freight and tank railcars and related railcar parts and components. Trinity markets railcars to railroads, leasing companies and private shippers (major corporations and associations who choose to own their own railcars for movement of their commodities and products). Railcars are used to transport bulk products and commodities including coal, grain, cement, plastic raw materials, petroleum products, chemicals, intermodal containers (products bundled in shipping containers designed to fit on railcars and other modes of transportation to minimize shipping costs), lumber, and similar products. Trinity has estab- lished itself as a leading manufacturer of quality railcar products.
The Railcars segment reported an increase in operating profit of 97.8% on a 36.4% increase in revenues for fiscal 1994. Revenues were $730.6 million and operating profit was $53.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $535.5 million and operating profit of $26.9 million were reported.
Trinity is focused on providing exceptional value in the railcar products it markets. Internal quality assurance programs involve all Trinity employees in providing quality products and service to customers. QuEST, Trinity's quality assurance program, draws on the suggestions and input of experienced, front line production employees in order to lower operating costs and strive for greater quality of Trinity products.
Railcar orders on hand at March 31, 1994 were at a record level reflecting customers' confidence in Trinity's abilities as a manufacturer of quality railcar products. Innovative manufacturing, competitive pricing, and quality workmanship combine to position Trinity's Railcars segment as a leader in the railcar industry.
Marine Products
Trinity's Marine Products segment builds a full line of marine vessels and inland river hopper barges and ocean-going tanker barges, and provides repair of marine vessels and cleaning facilities for barges. Marine vessels and barges generally range from 100 feet to more than 350 feet and include such commercial marine vessels as fishing boats, tugs, supply boats, large offshore barges, inland hopper barges, crew boats, ferries, oceanographic survey boats, tour boats, riverboat casinos, patrol boats, tow boats, and hydrographic survey boats. Trinity's commercial customer base includes many of the major industrial corporations of North America. Trinity builds various smaller and medium size marine vessels for the United States Navy, United States Army and Corps of Engineers. Other customers include several foreign governments and companies. Trinity's broad base of different types of marine vessels and its many years of experience and dependable production have made it an important supplier of marine vessels and barges.
The Marine Products segment revenues were $360.7 million and operating profit was $28.9 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $403.2 million and operating profit of $30.8 million were reported.
The Marine Products segment concentrates on a high level of customer service and satisfaction. At March 31, 1994, there were a wide variety of marine vessels on order from a diversified group of commercial and governmental customers. The marine vessel and barge building segment is experiencing strong, wide based demand for its products. Recent governmental legislation and regulations which mandate different "double skin" construction procedures will have a beneficial effect on demand in the future. Prospects for the Marine Products segment are bright.
Construction Products
Trinity's Construction Products segment fabricates a broad line of products used by governmental, industrial, commercial and utility customers. Diversified product lines include structural components of highway and railway bridge beams and girders, highway safety products, passenger loading bridges, conveyor systems, and ready-mix concrete and aggregates. Trinity is well known to the federal and state governments as a significant supplier of highway and railway bridges, guardrail, highway safety devices, and related barrier products for the nations highway system. During the past two years, Trinity has diversified into the ready- mix concrete and aggregates industry. Demand is brisk for these products in the geographic area served by the Company. (See Trinity's Expansion of Construction Products Segments on page 14.)
Operating profit for the fiscal year increased 57.5% on a revenue increase of 17.8%. The Construction Products segment revenues were $333.1 million and operating profit was $35.6 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $282.7 million and operating profit of $22.6 million were reported.
Trinity's Construction Products segment is prepared for continued success meeting the market demands expected in the markets it serves.
Containers
Trinity's Containers segment manufactures a full line of vessels in three broad categories. The Company fabricates:
(a) containers for the transportation and storage of liquefied petroleum gases, food and beverage products, and other liquid and dry products ranging in size from as small as 50 gallons to as large as 120,000 gallons. Pressure and nonpressure containers are built, as appropriate, to Department of Transportation and American Society of Mechanical Engineer's standards. Products consist of cylinders, domestic tanks, truck tank and transport barrels, storage vessels, and custom fabrication. Customers include residential, industrial, governmental, and commercial users;
(b) extremely large, heavy pressure vessels and other heavy welded products. Vessels range to thicknesses of 14 inches, diameters up to 40 feet, lengths exceeding 500 feet, and weights up to 1,000 tons. Vessels, generally, are constructed of carbon steel but may be constructed of exotic materials such as alloy, stainless steel, aluminum, clad, and weld overlay. Products include pressure vessels, storage tanks, refinery and chemical reactors, industrial silencers, heat recovery systems, desalinators, evaporators, digesters for pulp paper industry, and custom weldments. Customers are major industrial users particularly in the petroleum, chemical, food processing and utility industries; and,
(c) heat transfer equipment. Heat transfer equipment is used to increase or decease temperature of liquid product passing through the vessel. Heat transfer equipment is generally built to an exact set of design standards and configurations provided by the customer. Customers are major industrial users in the petroleum and chemical industries.
The Containers segment revenues were $155.6 million and operating profit was $9.8 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $141.1 million and operating profit of $15.0 million were reported.
With new technological advances relating to painting and finishing of containers, the recent changes in law concerning clean air regulations, the improvement in the residential housing industry and the economy in general, the Containers segment is anticipated to improve its competitive position.
Metal Components
Trinity's Metal Components segment manufactures and markets two different broad lines of products: (a) fittings and flanges; and (b) container heads. Fittings consist principally of butt weld type fittings. Flanges are pressure rated pipe flanges. Container heads are the rounded ends on containers.
Weld fittings include elbows, return bends, concentric and eccentric reducers, full and reducing outlet tees. Flanges and fittings are manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, chrome-moly and other metal tubing and seamless pipe and forgings. Trinity sells its weld fittings and flanges to distributors and to other manufacturers of weld fittings.
Container heads manufactured by Trinity are pressed metal components used in the further manufacture of a finished product. The manufacture of container heads requires a substantial investment in machinery and equipment. Many other manufacturers order container heads from Trinity rather than make the investment required to produce container heads. Container heads are manufactured in various shapes and may be pressure rated or nonpressure, depending on the intended use in further manufacture.
The Metal Components segment revenues were $99.7 million and operating profit was $11.7 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $96.8 million and operating profit of $13.8 million were reported.
As the industries served by the Metal Components segment continue to modernize, repair, and expand facilities, the Metal Components segment should enjoy increased demand for its products.
Leasing
Trinity gains market flexibility with its wholly-owned leasing subsidiary, Trinity Industries Leasing Company. Trinity can offer customers an alternative to purchasing railcars. The leasing of Trinity's railcars allows customers to retain working capital and reduce administrative expenses while providing them access to Trinity's highly regarded maintenance, testing and repair facilities. Trinity has more than 9,000 railcars in its lease portfolio furnishing the Company with a consistent flow of income, tax deferrals, and equity in long-life assets.
The Leasing segment revenues were $104.6 million and operating profit was $15.3 million for the year ended March 31, 1994. In the prior fiscal year, revenues of $79.6 million and operating profit of $7.5 million were reported.
Because of the consolidation of Trinity Industries Leasing Company under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 94 (See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Leasing notes in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), intercompany interest income aggregating $ 5.0 million is eliminated from Trinity's consolidated financial statements.
Trinity's Expansion of the Construction Products Segment
A few years ago, Trinity decided it was time to broaden the number of products sold in the Construction Products segment. After studying various products in the construction products lines of business and prospective favorable geographical regions, it was determined that selected markets in the state of Texas would be important geographical areas for rebuilding as the state and nation recovered from economic difficulty. The right opportunity was presented, and Trinity diversified into the concrete ready-mix and aggregate business. This diversification is in harmony with Trinity's philosophy of providing quality products, superior service, and competitive pricing. Aggregates are the natural resource used in making concrete and may be consumed as a raw material in the ready- mix concrete business or sold separately.
Management Discussion of Operations and Financial Condition
Operations
Record revenues of $1.78 billion were recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, an increase of $244.9 million compared to fiscal 1993. Significant increases in demand in the Railcars, Construction Products, Containers, and Leasing segments lead to the record year. Revenues recorded by the Metal Components segment remained comparable to the previous fiscal year. Revenues recorded declined when compared to Marine Products previous fiscal year's record revenues. Demand for railcars has increased causing upward adjustments to production rates to accommodate increases in business. The Construction Products segment's revenues were favorably affected by additional business acquisitions of certain concrete operations. (See Business Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Containers and Metal Components segments experienced expanding markets. Total operating profit increased from $74.6 million in fiscal 1993 to $116.6 million in fiscal 1994 due primarily to higher operating profit recorded in the Rail- cars, Construction Products, and Leasing segments, partially offset by slightly lower operating profit recorded in the Marine Products, Containers and Metal Components segments.
Continuing a trend which accelerated in fiscal 1993, production and deliveries in the Railcars segment increased in fiscal 1994. Operating profit as a percentage of revenues increased in fiscal 1994 compared to the previous fiscal year as greater efficiencies were achieved as a result of ongoing participation in quality assurance programs established in previous years. Indicating future expansion in production, the segment ended the fiscal year with a record number of railcars to be produced. Trinity continues to be very active in the railcar market with a variety of car types including coal, grain, plastic pellet, cement, intermodal and a variety of tank railcars. Increased revenues and operating profit in fiscal 1994 are primarily the result of expanded demand. This demand is attributed to a continuing railcar replacement cycle, demand for new types of railcars as the transporting of certain commodities across the country shifts from over-the-road trucking to rail, a net increase in the amount of goods and products that are shipped by rail, and the general improvement in the economy.
In the Marine Products segment, demand for the segment's products, marine vessels and barges, continues to be strong and broad based. The decline in current fiscal year results compared to results from the previous fiscal year is due primarily to the record revenues and operating profit recorded in the previous fiscal year from the completion of a multi-vessel, quick production contract. The replacement market for vessels and barges is leading to expanded production. The Marine Products segment is further positioning itself for future growth and contribution to operating profit through strategic business acquisitions. (See Business Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Construction Products segment's revenues and operating profit increased in the current fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. These results signify the effect of the decision to emphasize infrastructure products, including highway guardrail and safety barriers, and construction materials and aggregates. Continued expansion of the ready mix concrete markets helped to boost the segment's revenues and operating profit.
General improvement in the chemical and petroleum industries and new housing starts is leading to improvement in the Containers segment, particularly the market for LPG tanks. Competitive markets for the Company's large pressure vessels are partially offsetting segment operating profit. Industry demand for products in the Metal Components segment has risen in the current fiscal year. General improvement in the economy has generated some expansion in the industries served by this segment. Leasing segment's operating profit was higher in fiscal 1994 due primarily to additions of new freight and tank railcars to the fleet, sales of selected car types previously for lease, and a slight reduction in overall repair and maintenance expenses in the current fiscal year.
Record revenues of $1.54 billion were recorded by the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1993, an increase of $266.7 million compared to fiscal 1992. Significant increases in demand in the Railcars, Marine Products, Construction Products and Leasing segments lead to the record fiscal year. Revenues recorded by the Containers and Metal Components segments remained comparable to the previous fiscal year. Marine Products' segment's revenues increased due to work performed on several large contracts. Demand for railcars continued to grow as the replacement market moved forward. The Construction Products segment's revenues were favorably affected by the business acquisition of Syro Steel Company ("Syro") (See Business Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and additional business acquisitions of certain concrete operations. (See Business Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Total operating profit increased from $43.4 million in fiscal 1992 to $74.6 million in fiscal 1993 due primarily to higher operating profit recorded in the Railcars, Marine Products, Construction Products, and Leasing segments, partially offset by slightly lower operating profit recorded in the Containers and Metal Components segments.
Demand for Marine Products in fiscal 1993 continued to increase in a variety of different types of vessels and barges. The increase in operating profit reflected the trend, which began in fiscal 1992, of performance on higher margin contracts and efficiencies connected with higher production. The benefit derived from investments in new operating facilities and the refurbishment and reopening of other operating facilities during the current and past few years favorably affected operating profit. Production and deliveries in the Railcars segment increased in fiscal 1993 resulting in improved operating profit. Orders on hand at the end of the fiscal year were approximately twice as high as the previous fiscal year end. Increased revenues and operating profit in fiscal 1993 were primarily the result of expanded demand. Construction Products segment's operating profit increased as the business acquisition of Syro enhanced the segment's market presence in the highway safety products market. The expansion of the ready-mix concrete market helped to boost the segment's operating profit.
Competitive conditions in the Containers segment, particularly the market for LPG tanks, accounted for the increase in revenues while causing a slight decline in operating profit. Industry demand for products in the Metal Components segment remained strong. Leasing segment's operating profit was higher in fiscal 1993 due primarily to additions of railcars during the last quarter, which had little or no maintenance expenses, and on average, had a high rental rate compared to the remainder of the lease fleet.
Selling, engineering and administrative expenses were up slightly in fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993. Increases due to additional personnel from fiscal 1994 business acquisitions and increased Railcars segment business, offset somewhat by the absence of expenses present in the prior fiscal year related to the business acquisition of Syro. Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased to $93.4 million in fiscal 1993 from $77.5 million in fiscal 1992 due principally to expenses associated with additional personnel from fiscal 1993 business acquisitions in the concrete division of the Construction Products segment and the custom vessel division of the Containers segment, additional expenses associated with increased business in the Railcars and Marine Products segments, and expenses related to the business acquisition of Syro.
Interest expense of the Leasing Subsidiary decreased by $4.4 million in fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993 due primarily to the conversion of Leasing Subsidiary debt to common stock of the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993 (see Long-term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Interest expense of Leasing Subsidiary increased by $2.7 million in fiscal 1993 compared to fiscal 1992 due primarily to additional borrowings to fund railcar purchases.
Retirement plans expense decreased to $9.2 million in fiscal 1994 from $10.2 million in fiscal 1993. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction of the actuarial accrual related to a certain supplemental retirement benefit agreement, offset by increases in personnel due to fiscal 1994 business acquisitions. Retirement plans expense increased to $10.2 million in fiscal 1993 from $9.0 million in fiscal 1992. The increase was due primarily to a general increase in total personnel caused primarily by fiscal 1993 business acquisitions and improved business in the Railcars and Marine Products segments.
Net interest expense of $4.0 million in fiscal 1994 increased as compared to $3.3 million in fiscal 1993 primarily due to the increase in the usage of short-term debt to finance business acquisitions, offset by a decline in long- term debt due to regularly scheduled principal payments. Net interest expense of $3.3 million in fiscal 1993 decreased as compared to $6.4 million in fiscal 1992 as balances of both long-term debt, excluding Leasing Subsidiary, and short-term debt declined. The decline in long-term debt was due to scheduled principal payments, and to a lesser degree, to the conversion of debt to common stock of the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993 (see Long-term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Greater use of net cash flows from operations to sustain operating requirements created less reliance on short-term debt.
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1994 expressed as a percent of income before income taxes is a 40.2 percent rate as compared to a 37.6 percent rate in fiscal 1993 and a 38.8 percent rate in fiscal 1992. The increase between fiscal 1994 and 1993 is due principally to the increase in the statutory federal income tax rate and the increase in the provision for state income taxes. The decrease between fiscal 1993 and 1992 was due principally to the decrease in the provision for state income taxes stated as a percentage.
In February, 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 109 in fiscal 1994 and change from the deferred to the liability method of computing income tax. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the change in method as of April 1, 1993 resulting in an increase to net income of $7.9 million. (see Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements)
Liquidity and Financial Resources
During fiscal 1994, internally generated funds and short-term borrowing were used to support capital expenditures and payments for business acquisitions. Capital expenditures, excluding Leasing Subsidiary, for fiscal 1994 were $45.2 million. Capital expenditures projected for fiscal 1995 are $50 million. Payments for acquisitions in fiscal 1994, net of cash acquired, totalled $36.2 million. Future operating requirements are expected to be financed principally with net cash flows from operations. Internally generated funds, short-term and long-term debt will continue to be used to finance business acquisitions. Additions to TILC's railcar fleet are anticipated to be financed through internally generated funds, the issuance of equipment trust certificates, or similar debt instruments.
The percentages of long-term debt and stockholders' equity to total capital (long-term debt and stockholders' equity) of $848.4 million (of which Leasing Subsidiary's long-term debt is $236.0 million) were 32.8 percent (of which Leasing Subsidiary's long-term debt is 27.8 percent of total capital) and 67.2 percent, respectively.
Inflation
Changes in price levels did not significantly affect the Company's operations in fiscal 1994, 1993 or 1992.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Trinity" or the "Company") include the accounts of all significant majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company accounts for its wholly-owned Leasing Subsidiary in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries," which requires the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries, unless control is temporary or does not reside with the majority owner. The Company's financial statements include the consolidation of the accounts of Trinity Industries Leasing Company ("TILC"). TILC is sometimes referred to as the "Leasing Company" or "Leasing Subsidiary".
For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the large number of customers in the Company's customer base, and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. The Company maintains an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables.
For financial accounting, profits on long-term contracts are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method. Allocation of profits to various periods is based on costs incurred, units delivered, or other appropriate measures. Provision is made for losses when they become known.
TILC enters into lease contracts with third parties with terms generally ranging between one and fifteen years, wherein certain equipment manufactured by Trinity is leased for a specified type of service over the term of the contract. TILC accounts for leases principally by the operating method.
Inventories and investments are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined principally on the specific identification method. Market is replacement cost or net realizable value.
Depreciation and amortization are generally computed by the straight-line method on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The costs of ordinary maintenance and repair are charged to expense, while renewals and major replacements are capitalized.
Net income per common and common equivalent share are based on the weighted average shares outstanding plus the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options (less the number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds using the average market price of Trinity's common stock). For the years ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, there was no convertible debt outstanding that would require the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share. In fiscal 1993, the convertible debt in the form of 8 percent convertible subordinated debentures and 6.75 percent convertible debentures were converted. For the year ended March 31, 1992 the computation of fully diluted earnings per share was anti-dilutive.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Segment Information
The Company manufactures and sells or leases a variety of metal products consisting principally of (1) freight railcars, principally tank cars and hopper cars ("Railcars"); (2) boats and barges for ocean and inland waterway service ("Marine Products"); (3) construction products such as highway guard- rail, beams, girders, and columns used in construction of, highway and railway bridges, power plants, mills, etc., passenger loading bridges and conveyor systems, and ready mix concrete and aggregates ("Construction Products"); (4) pressure and non-pressure containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases, other liquid, and dry products ("Containers"); (5) weld fittings (tees, elbows, reducers, caps, flanges, etc.) used in pressure piping systems and container heads (the ends of pressure and non-pressure containers) for use internally and by other manufacturers of containers ("Metal Components"); and (6) railcar and barge leasing to various industries ("Leasing").
Financial information for these segments is summarized in the following table. The Company operates principally in the continental United States. Interseg- mental sales are shown at market prices.

These assets are utilized in the manufacture of marine products; and (iii) certain inventory and property, plant and equipment of Custom Vessel Corporation to be used in the manufacture of custom container vessels for cash and 20,000 shares of Trinity common stock. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $26.8 million. There was no goodwill in the acquisitions.
Also in fiscal 1993, the Company acquired, by subsidiary merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Syro in exchange for 1,621,448 shares of Trinity's common stock. Syro manufactures and distributes a wide variety of fabricated steel products, including highway safety barrier systems, piling products, roll formed products, corrugated plate products, steel service center operations, and other products. The pooling of interests accounting method was used to account for the merger and, accordingly, the financial statements for all periods prior to the date of the merger were restated to include the accounts of Syro for all periods presented. Syro's previously reported financial results have been conformed to the fiscal year end of the Company. Revenues, net income and earnings per share of the separate companies for the period preceding the acquisition were: (in millions except per share data)

Syro sold material of approximately $6.2 in 1992 to affiliated companies. At March 31, 1992 Syro had accounts receivable of $1.9 from these affiliated companies.
In fiscal 1994, the businesses acquired include: (i) certain assets of Caruthersville Shipyard Inc. and Xenium Fiberglass Corporation for cash. These assets are utilized in the manufacture of marine products;(ii) certain assets of A & M Operating Company, Inc. for cash. These assets are used in the manufacture of railcars; (iii) certain assets of Redland Stone Products Company, STCC, Inc., Bluebonnet Paving, Inc., Triple S Crushed Stone Company, Waco Sand and Gravel Company, and Beazer West, Inc. for cash and 100 percent of the common stock of Myre Construction Company for 103,494 shares of Trinity common stock. These businesses are ready-mix concrete producers; and (iv) 100 percent of the common stock of Platzer Shipyard, Inc. for cash and 67,139 shares of Trinity common stock. This business manufactures and repairs barges. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $56.0 million. There was no goodwill in the acquisitions. Contribution of these acquisitions to revenues and operating profit is not material.
Stock Options
The Company has a Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("Plan") which provides that incentive or Non-qualified stock options for a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be granted to directors, officers and key employees. Incentive options may be granted over a period not to exceed ten years at a price not less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Plan terminated a similar prior stock option plan of which 1,001,007 options granted were outstanding at March 31, 1994. The Plan provides that, to the extent options granted under this Plan or any prior stock option plan are forfeited, expire or cancelled, they may again be granted pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. The Plan provides that if shares already owned by the optionee are surrendered as full or partial payment of the exercise price of an option, a new option (the "Reload Option") may be granted equal to the number of shares surrendered. The exercise price of Reload Options shall be the fair market value on the effective date of the grant.
Stockholder's Rights Plan
The Company has adopted a Stockholder's Rights Plan. Effective April 27, 1989, the Company paid a dividend distribution of one purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company's $1.00 par value common stock. Each right entitles the stockholder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of one hundred and seventy-five dollars. The rights are not exercisable or detachable from the common stock until ten business days after a person acquires beneficial ownership of twenty percent or more of the Company's common stock or if a person or group commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which that person or group would beneficially own twenty percent or more of the common stock.
If any person becomes a beneficial owner of twenty percent or more of the Company's common stock other than pursuant to an offer, as defined, for all shares determined by certain directors to be fair to the stockholders and otherwise in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders (other than by reason of share purchases by the Company), each right not owned by that person or related parties enables its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of the Company's common stock having a calculated value of twice the right's exercise price.
The rights, which are subject to adjustment, may be redeemed by the Company at a price of one cent per right at any time prior to their expiration on April 27, 1999 or the point at which they become exercisable.

The Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined. Principal payments due during the next five years are: 1995 - $8.9; 1996 - $30.8; 1997 - $0.5; 1998 - $0.1; and 1999 - $0.1.
Long-term debt of Leasing Subsidiary:
The trustees of the equipment trusts have been assigned title to rail- cars with a cost of $437.8 at March 31, 1994 for the life of the respective equipment trusts. Leases relating to such railcars financed by equipment trust certificates have been assigned as collateral. Trinity is required to pay fees to TILC to maintain net earnings, as defined, at 150 percent of fixed charges, as defined. Pursuant to this agreement, $0, $1.4, and $0.5 have been paid by Trinity to TILC in fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992, respect- ively. Trinity is also required to pay to TILC the current tax benefit which results from the inclusion of TILC in Trinity's federal income tax return. These amounts are eliminated for consolidated financial presenta- tion of Trinity. TILC is required to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined. Principal payments due during the next five years are: 1995 - $30.7; 1996 - $30.4; 1997 - $31.4; 1998 - $27.5; and 1999 - $27.4.
The fair value of non-traded, fixed rate outstanding debt, estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, approximates its carrying value.
In fiscal 1993, 8 percent convertible subordinated debentures and 6.75 percent convertible debentures were converted. Assuming this convertible debt had converted as of April 1, 1992, supplementary earnings per share for fiscal 1993 would have been $1.24.

Income Taxes (in millions except per share data)
Effective April 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Statement requires a change from the deferred to the liability method of computing income taxes. As permitted by Statement No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate the financial statements of any prior period. The cumulative effect of applying the change in accounting method is a decrease in the Company's deferred tax liability and a nonrecurring credit of $7.9 or $0.20 per share.
The provision for federal income taxes is determined on a consolidated return basis. The Company and the Leasing Subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The significant components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes follow:
Year Ended March 31 1994 1993 1992 Current Federal. . . $42.5 $23.5 $18.8 State. . . . 4.7 2.2 1.6 47.2 25.7 20.4 Deferred. . . . . (1.3) 1.4 (5.0) Total . . . . . . $45.9 $27.1 $15.4
Deferred income tax was provided in the financial statements for timing differences between financial and taxable income. Components of the deferred provision (benefit) for income taxes computed at the statutory rate for fiscal 1993 and 1992 follow:
Year Ended March 31 1993 1992 Excess of tax depreciation over financial depreciation................. $ 6.4 $(4.4) Profits on long-term contracts recorded on the percentage of completion method for financial purposes and related items.......................... 0.4 - Pensions and other benefits.............

The provision for income taxes in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992 results in effective tax rates different than the statutory rates. The reconciliation between the effective and statutory rates follows: 1994 1993 1992
Statutory rate.............. 35.0% 34.0% 34.0% State taxes................. 2.7 2.0 2.7 Effect of 1% rate increase on deferred taxes............ 1.8 - - Other....................... 0.7 1.6 2.1 Effective tax rate.......... 40.2% 37.6% 38.8%

Contingencies
In May, 1994, a jury sitting in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York returned a verdict against Mosher Steel Company, a former subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Industries, Inc. in an action brought against Mosher by Morse-Diesel, Inc. In August, 1982, Mosher entered into a subcontract with Morse-Diesel for the fabrication and erection of structural steel for the construction of the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, New York City, New York. In August, 1984, Morse-Diesel commenced the action stated above against Mosher and Trinity for damages allegedly caused by Mosher's and its erection subcontractor's performance of the structural steel contract.
Judgement against Mosher will be entered in the amount of $25,775,933 plus statutory interest from September, 1985.
Mosher has been advised by legal counsel that it has substantial defenses and remedies available, and it will pursue all available avenues in the post-trial and appellate review processes. While Mosher's ultimate liability in this matter is difficult to assess, it is management's belief that the final outcome is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial position.
Mosher and Trinity have not been involved in the fabrication of structural steel for multi-story buildings since 1989.
The Company is involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, these claims and suits in the aggregate will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Certain Affiliates Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 1994
1. Description of the Plan
General - The Profit Sharing Plan for Employees of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Certain Affiliates (the "Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of Trinity Industries, Inc. (the "Board") on December 11, 1986 and became effective January 1, 1987, for eligible employees of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Certain Affiliates (the "Employer"). The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to comply with the provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The following is a brief description of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document for complete information regarding the Plan. The Plan's fiscal year end is March 31.
Participation - Eligible employees, as defined, who desire to contribute to the Plan, must elect to contribute on the form or forms provided by the Committee and authorize the Employer to make payroll deductions for contributions to the Plan.
Contributions - Each Plan participant agrees to contribute not less than two percent nor more than ten percent of their compensation in one percent increments as designated by the participant. A participant's salary reduction may not exceed $9,240 and $8,994 per calendar year ended 1994 and 1993, respectively. A salary reduction and contribution agreement must be entered into by each employee as the employee begins participation in the Plan and may be amended by such employee each quarter.
Employer matching contribution shall be made if Company earnings are at least $0.33 per share of common stock and sufficient to pay dividends to stockholders ($0.64, $0.53 and $0.53 per share for the years ended March 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively). Dividends per share have been adjusted for the three-for-two stock split distributed on August 31, 1993. If the Employer matching contribution is made, then each participant with at least five years of service, shall receive an amount equal to 50 percent of that portion of such participant's employee contribution which does not exceed six percent of such participant's total compensation for the year. If the Employer matching contribution is made, then each participant with less than five years of service shall receive an amount equal to 25 percent of that portion of such participant's employee contribution which does not exceed six percent of such participant's total compensation for the year.
Employer contributions are net of forfeitures, as defined. Employer contributions for a given plan year shall be deposited in the Profit Sharing Trust for Employees of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Certain Affiliates (the "Trust Fund") as defined below, no later than the date on which the Employer files its Federal income tax return for such year.
The Employer and Texas Commerce Bank - Dallas (the "Trustee"), have entered into a Trust Agreement under which the latter acts as Trustee under the Plan. Texas Commerce Bank - Dallas is the successsor Trustee to First City Bank of Dallas, N.A. pursuant to the acquisition by Texas Commerce Bank - Dallas of the assets and certain liabilities of the former First City Bank of Dallas, N.A.
In its capacity as Trustee, Texas Commerce Bank - Dallas invests the employee contributions and Employer contributions in the following investment options (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Trust Fund"):
(a) Trinity Stock Investment Account ("Stock Account") holds shares of Employer common stock purchased on behalf of the participants. Idle cash is invested in interest-bearing accounts until such time as it can be utilized to purchase Employer common stock.
(b) Guaranteed Investment Contract Investment Account (the "Guaranteed Investment Account") invests in guaranteed investment contracts issued by an insurance company selected annually by the Committee. At March 31, 1994, the guaranteed investment contracts had guaranteed annual rates of return of 8.80% (GAC 4854), 9.06% (GAC 5764), 9.06% (GAC 5027) , 6.70% (GAC 15960), 6.24% (GAC 627-05387), and 5.15% (GAC 7219).
(c) Putnam Mutual Funds Investment Accounts (the "Putnam Mutual Funds") invests in three mutual funds selected by the Committee. At March 31, 1994, the funds are U.S. Government Income Trust, Growth and Income, and Voyager.
Participants may elect the extent to which assets are invested in the options described above in increments of 10 percent or 25 percent. At March 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the majority of participants had elected to participate in the guaranteed investment contracts.
Benefits - Distribution of a participant's account balance is payable upon retirement at or after age 65, total disability, death, or termination of employment. Distribution is equal to the salary reduction contribution and related earnings plus the vested portion of the Employer contribution and related earnings.
Withdrawal of up to 100 percent of the employee contribution can be made only to meet "immediate and heavy financial needs" (medical care, college tuition, the purchase of a primary residence, or to prevent the foreclosure on a primary residence) as long as the funds are not available for such needs from other sources. No withdrawal can be made against the earnings on the employee contributions or against the Employer contribution and related earnings. These restrictions no longer apply when the participant reaches age 59 1/2.
Loans for "immediate and heavy financial needs" may be made for a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000, not to exceed 50 percent of the Employee contribution and related earnings and not to exceed 50 percent of the vested portion of the Employer contribution and related earnings. Loans are subject to rules and regulations established by the Plan Administrator, as defined in the Plan.
Vesting - The Employer contribution and related earnings (losses) vest to participants, depending upon the number of years of vesting service, as defined, completed by such participant as follows: Years of Service Percentage Vested Less than 1 0 1 but less than 2 20 2 but less than 3 40 3 but less than 4 60 4 but less than 5 80 5 or more 100
A participant is 100 percent vested in their Employer contribution and allocated portion of related earnings (losses) upon their attainment of age 65 and is always 100 percent vested in their employee contribution and related earnings (losses) on such contribution.
Administration of the Plan - The Plan is administered by a Profit Sharing Committee (the "Committee") consisting of at least three persons who are appointed by the Board. The members of the Committee serve at the pleasure of the Board, and any committee member who is an employee of the Employer shall not receive compensation for his services.
A separate account is maintained for each participant. The Plan provides that account balances for participants are adjusted periodically as follows:
(a) Employee contributions are generally allocated on a quarterly basis;
(b) Participant's share of the Employer contribution shall be allocated to the participant's account as of a date no later than the last day of the Plan year;
(c) Earnings and appreciation or depreciation of investment assets of the Trust Fund for each calendar quarter shall be allocated to the accounts of participants, former participants and beneficiaries who had unpaid balances in their accounts on the last day of such calendar quarter in proportion to the balances in such accounts at the beginning of the calendar quarter.
Upon request, distributions shall be made no earlier than the later of the last day of the calendar quarter in which entitlement occurs or the date on which the Committee determines the final balances. Distributions from the Stock Account shall be made in cash unless otherwise designated by the participant.
Income tax status - The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan is a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and that the Trust is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.
Employee contributions and Employer contributions are not included in the participant's federal taxable income in the year such contributions are made. A participant shall not be subject to federal income taxes with respect to participation in the Plan until the amounts are withdrawn or distributed.
Amendment or termination of the Plan - The Employer may amend the Plan at any time. However, no amendment, unless made to secure approval of the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency, may operate retroactively to reduce or divest the then vested interest in the Plan of any participant, former participant or beneficiary, or to reduce or divest any benefit payable under the Plan unless all participants, former participants and beneficiaries then having vested interests or benefit payments affected thereby consent to such amendment.
The Employer may terminate the Plan at any time. Upon complete or partial termination, the accounts of all participants affected thereby shall become 100 percent vested, and the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute the assets in the Trust Fund, after receipt of any required approval by the Internal Revenue Service and payment of any expenses properly chargeable thereto, to participants, former participants, and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Investments and investment income - Investment in the common stock of the Employer and the Putnam Mutual Funds are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year as reported on a national securities exchange. The investments in guaranteed investment contracts are valued at cost which approximates market value.
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The statement of income and changes in Plan equity include net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in market value on investments. The Plan's financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis.
Realized gains and losses - Realized gains and losses have been calculated using historical cost (first in, first out).
