ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents totalled $8.7 million at December 31, 1994, compared to $7.7 million a year earlier. Working capital was $30.2 million, compared to $24.1 million at December 31, 1993. Contributing to the year-to-year increase in working capital was the 1994 acquisition of the Fil-Mag Group as discussed below. Cash provided by operating activities was $9.6 million. The positive cash flow was composed mainly of net earnings of $6.9 million; depreciation and amortization of $5.3 million; and increases in accounts payable ($1.1 million) and accrued expenses ($3.9 million). A cash decrease due to deferred tax benefits was offset by an increase in income taxes payable. Cash was consumed by increases in accounts receivable ($4.6 million) and inventories ($2.5 million). Those increases were caused by the increase in sales from 1993 to 1994. Investing activities consumed $13 million during 1994. Capital expenditures constituted $4.4 million, excluding acquisitions. Separately, $8.8 million was paid for the capital stock of the Fil-Mag Group, net of cash acquired. Financing for the acquisition was provided by drawing down approximately $10 million on a temporary acquisition line of credit from CoreStates Bank, N.A., which was subsequently replaced by a three year revolving credit loan. Projected 1995 capital expenditures are expected to be financed by internally generated funds. Cash provided by financing activities was a net $4.2 million. The aforementioned $10 million loan was the source of funds. Cash consumed by financing activities was due to combined debt reduction of $3.5 million, and $2.3 million of dividend payments. It is expected that dividends will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis during 1995. The Company's foreign sales are conducted primarily through its foreign subsidiaries, principally in the Far East and Europe. In the Far East, the Company's sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. In Europe, sales are denominated primarily in local currencies (consisting mainly of English pounds and French francs) and to a lesser extent in U.S. dollars. Since a very significant portion of the Company's foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company does not believe that its potential exposure to currency fluctuations is material to its business. During 1993 and 1994, the Company did not purchase any currency exchange forward contracts or similar instruments generally utilized to reduce the risk of currency fluctuations. The Company will reexamine this policy if sales denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars become material to operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In 1994:
In 1994, sales were $146.4 million compared to $100.5 million in 1993. The 45.7% increase was due to the $30.8 million sales of the Fil-Mag Group, acquired in January 1994, and a combined sales increase of $15.1 million realized by the other businesses of the Company. All three of the Company's segments experienced increased sales in 1994 from 1993. The December 31 backlog was $28.7 million in 1994 and $14.9 million in 1993. Contributing to the increase was the Fil-Mag Group's backlog. The increase in sales of the Electronic Products Segment to $41.2 million included the sales of the Fil-Mag Group as noted above. Operating profit of the Electronics Products Segment increased to $5.0 million in 1994, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year. The increase reflected the fifty weeks of profits of the Fil-Mag Group since its acquisition in January 1994. As a percentage of sales, this segment's annual operating profits equaled 12.2% which was the highest of the Company's three product segments. Year end backlog and order volumes indicated a softening in the segment's domestic markets, while offshore demand remained relatively strong. The Metallurgical Products Segment produced increased sales, operating profit and operating profit as a function of sales in 1994 as compared to 1993. AMI experienced its largest sales and profit improvements to the product line which was acquired from Engelhard Corporation in 1991. Housing starts continue to have an eventual impact on demand for various AMI products. Management is monitoring the indirect effect that recent interest rate increases will have on AMI backlog levels which were stable entering the first quarter of 1995. Separately, Chace sales and operating profits also grew year-to-year. On-going efforts aimed at cost containment and quality improvements have contributed to the growth in sales volume and profits. Chace's proven ability to compete in a demanding industrial market was reflected by a strong backlog position as it began the new year. Two of the three operating units which constitute the End User/Finished Products Segment experienced an increase in sales and operating profits. Chatillon sales volume and profitability improved in its primary product families, as the improved economic climate contributed to more favorable market conditions. Lloyd's year-to-year sales increase reflected incremental unit sales and the absence of the unfavorable currency translation which negatively impacted 1993 results. Lower sales and operating profit occurred at the Company's Products Division. Domestic demand for currency counters and dispensers decreased during 1994, which was also the first full year subsequent to the Division withdrawing as a provider of engineering services on a prime contract basis to an agency of the U.S. Government. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $27.3 million in 1994 from $19.4 million in 1993. The key reason for the increase was the addition of the Fil-Mag Group. Interest expense grew to $1.1 million, caused by the $10 million increase in outstanding debt to fund the Fil-Mag Group acquisition and rising interest rates during the year. 1994 income tax expenses increased as a function of pre-tax earnings. The 1994 effective income tax rate rose to 39% from 35% in 1993 as a result of proportionately higher taxable income being earned by the Company's domestic operations. Effective income tax rates of the domestic operations generally exceed those of the Company's offshore operations.

In 1993:
Sales increased by 1.9% to $100.5 million in 1993. The sales increases of the Electronic Products Segment and the Metallurgical Products Segment exceeded the sales decrease experienced by the End User/Finished Products Segment. The backlog on December 31, 1993 was $14.9 million, compared to $14.2 million on December 31, 1992. The Electronic Products Segment sales increased to $9.4 million from $8.2 million in 1992. Sales of the Metallurgical Products Segment increased to $63.9 million in 1993 from $60.4 million. The 1993 year marked the first full year of operation at the Export, PA, facility which includes the product line acquired from Engelhard Corporation in August 1991 and relocated during 1992. End User/Finished Products Segment sales decreased from $30 million to $27.1 million. This reflected a volume decrease in currency counters and dispensers in the Products Division. Separately, that division withdrew as a provider of engineering services on a prime contract basis to an agency of the U.S. Government. Also causing the sales decline of the segment were unfavorable currency translation of the sales of Lloyd Instruments Ltd., a U.K. Company, and a decrease in the sales of electronic products of Chatillon. Total 1993 gross profit dollars approximated those of 1992. However, as a percentage of sales, 1993 gross profit dropped slightly to 24.6% from 25.2% in 1992. Contributing to the decrease were inventory write-offs and high production costs incurred at the Export, PA, facility of the Metallurgical Products Segment and the cost associated with the Petersburg, PA, plant shutdown of the Electronic Products Segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $19.4 million in 1993, compared to $20 million during the previous year. The decrease reflected the non-recurring 1992 expenses associated with AMI-DDC (see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements) and relocating the Engelhard product line. Operating Profit of $5.4 million in 1993 represented a 10.6% increase from year-to-year. The Electronic Products Segment contributed to the increase, with the Components Division experiencing stronger profits in 1993 as a result of on-going cost reduction efforts. The operating profit increase of the Metallurgical Products Segment included improved earnings of the established operations of AMI and the first full year of contribution of AMI-DDC exceeding a decrease in profitability on the part of the product line acquired from Engelhard. The major markets of AMI remained cyclical and reflected general trends in housing, automotive, appliances and capital equipment. Improved profits were realized by Chace, as cost improvement programs yielded their intended results. Regarding the End User/Finished Products Segment, weak demand caused a decrease in profitability at the Products Division and flat earnings on certain Chatillon products, which more than offset improved profits realized by Lloyd Instruments Ltd. Interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in 1993 due to lower interest rates and a reduction in the amount of debt outstanding. Income tax expenses increased proportionate to 1993 pre-tax earnings, with the 35% effective income tax rate unchanged from the prior year. Contributing to the flat effective rate were increased earnings of the operation in Puerto Rico, which is exempt from U.S. Federal income taxes. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," during 1993. As a result, $261,000 of favorable cumulative effect on prior years was added to 1993 net earnings.

TECHNITROL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Technitrol, Inc. (the "Company") and all of its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include funds invested in a variety of liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. In addition to the inventories included in the accompanying balance sheets, the Company has custody of inventories on consignment from suppliers ($14,063,000 at December 31, 1994 and $11,092,000 at December 31, 1993).
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is based upon the estimated useful life of the assets and has been provided for on both the accelerated and the straight line methods. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, and major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet, and any resulting gains or losses are included in earnings.
Excess of Cost over Net Assets Excess of cost over net assets acquired (which the Company believes has continuing value) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets is evaluated on a recurring basis.
Earnings per Share Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per share for prior years have been restated to reflect a 200% stock dividend recorded on September 18, 1994.
Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 52. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the year-end exchange rate and all income statement accounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from the change in exchange rates from the date of acquisition to the current balance sheet date have been reported separately as a component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in the statement of earnings for the year in which they occur.

(2) Acquisitions
On January 17, 1994, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Technitrol International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired from FEE Technology, S.A. all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FEE Fil-Mag Taiwan Corporation ("FFT"), FEE Fil-Mag Singapore Pte. Corporation ("FFS") and Fil-Mag, Inc. ("FMI"). FFT, FFS and FMI are referred to below as the "Fil-Mag Group". The Fil-Mag Group is a supplier of magnetic components to domestic and international manufacturers of PCs, network interface cards, network controllers and other devices that are connected to data communications networks such as Token Ring and Ethernet. The Fil- Mag Group conducts manufacturing operations in its plants in Taiwan and the Philippines; engineering activities at its San Diego, California location; and sales operations through offices in France, Singapore and San Diego. The Company intends to continue the businesses of the Fil-Mag Group at their current locations. The purchase price was $9,082,000 (net of expenses). In addition, the Company caused FMI to repay to FEE Technology, S.A. approximately $1 million of indebtedness. FFT was indebted to local banks in the amount of approximately $3.3 million, of which approximately $2.5 million was retired during 1994. The purchase price and the $1 million debt repayment were financed by borrowing $10 million under a temporary acquisition line of credit and cash on-hand of approximately $400,000. The purchase price was arrived at pursuant to arms-length negotiations, taking into account all pertinent factors including, but not limited to, the nature, monetary and strategic value of the assets being acquired, the businesses and business prospects of each member of the Fil- Mag Group and the synergies of the businesses of the Fil-Mag Group with the operations of the Components Division of the Company. The assets acquired had a fair value of approximately $18.0 million, including current assets of $9.0 million and approximately $2.5 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition. Liabilities assumed totaled $8.6 million. Subsequent to the acquisition, eight key employees of the Fil-Mag Group entered into a covenant against competition with the Company in exchange for which the Fil-Mag Group paid them, in the aggregate, $1 million during the twelve months subsequent to the acquisition. The $1 million was financed by cash on-hand. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Had the business been acquired on January 1, 1993, unaudited consolidated pro forma results would have been:
Year ended December 31, 1993 ------------------ Sales $130.1 million Net earnings $ 4.3 million Net earnings per share $ .76

(2) Acquisitions, continued
The activity of the Fil-Mag Group for the period from January 1 to January 17, 1994, was not material to the consolidated results of the Company. This unaudited pro forma information is provided for comparative purposes only. It does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on the date indicated or which may be obtained in the future. On February 12, 1992, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Doduco Corporation. Upon acquisition, the name of the acquired business was changed to AMI-DDC, Inc. ("AMI-DDC"). AMI-DDC is engaged in the business of manufacturing electrical contacts. The cost of the acquisition amounted to $728,000, consisting of $111,000 of acquisition costs and $617,000 cash paid for all outstanding shares of common stock. Funded indebtedness of AMI-DDC of $3.6 million was repaid during March of 1992, and an additional $2.5 million was repaid in April of 1992. The purchase price and debt repayments were financed by borrowing $5.9 million under a revolving credit loan (with a maximum draw of $6 million) and cash on hand of approximately $1.1 million. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Had the business been acquired on January 1, 1992, pro forma results of operations would have been:
Year Ended Dec. 31, 1992 ---------------- Sales $99.4 million Net earnings $ 2.9 million Net earnings per share $ .48

In January 1994, the Company borrowed $10 million under a temporary acquisition line of credit as described in Note 2. In March 1994, this amount was refinanced along with the $5 million outstanding at December 31, 1993, into a single variable-rate revolving bank loan facility with a maximum draw of $20 million, maturing in March 1997. On February 9, 1995, $2 million of the $15 million outstanding at December 31, 1994 was repaid and the committed facility was reduced from $20 million to $13 million. The Bank Loan facilities are unsecured and contain certain covenants requiring maintenance of minimum net worth and other customary and normal provisions. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants.

(5) Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense is included in cost of sales and has not exceeded 3.3% of cost of sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992.
(6) Income Taxes
During 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). FAS 109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The change in these deferred tax assets or liabilities, including the effect of a change in tax rates, if any, from the beginning to the end of the period generally is recognized as deferred tax expense or benefit. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FAS 109 and has reported the cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for income taxes in the consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 1993. Prior year financial statements have not been restated. However, amounts recorded for certain prior business combinations have been adjusted from their net of tax amounts to their pre- tax amounts. Related deferred taxes have been recognized. The effect of these adjustments on earnings before taxes is not material.
Income tax expense was as follows (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $2,837 $1,394 $1,666 State and local 898 630 487 Foreign 1,390 277 21 ------ ------ ------ 5,125 2,301 2,174 Deferred (benefit) (680) (492) (673) ------ ------ ------ $4,445 $1,809 $1,501 ====== ====== ======
For the year ended December 31, 1994, approximately $25,000 was credited to Additional Paid-In Capital to record the tax benefit of dividends paid on restricted stock. Additional Paid-In Capital was also credited for approximately $18,000 for the tax effect of the change in value from the award date to the release date of restricted stock which was released during the period.

(6) Income Taxes, continued
A reconciliation of the statutory Federal income tax rate with the effective income tax rate follows:
1994 1993 1992 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Statutory Federal income tax rate 34% 34% 34% Increase(decrease) resulting from: Tax exempt earnings of subsidiaries in Puerto Rico (5) (14) (9) State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit 6 10 9 Non-deductable expenses 1 2 -- Foreign (1) 1 (1) Other, net 4 2 2 Effective tax rate 39% 35% 35% === === ===
Deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
1994 1993 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation $ -- $ 34 Inventories, principally due to additional costs valued for tax purposes 500 229 Vacation compensation 162 141 Pension expense 1,158 771 Stock awards 637 556 Accrued liabilities 549 327 Other 131 84 ------ ------ Total deferred tax assets $3,137 $2,142 ====== ====== Liabilities: Plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation $ 194 $ -- Local tax on Puerto Rico-sourced income 74 120 Other 460 417 ------ ------ Total deferred tax liabilities $ 728 $ 537 ------ ------ Net deferred tax asset $2,409 $1,605 ====== ======
No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was deemed necessary at December 31, 1994 or 1993. Based on the Company's history of taxable income and its projection of future earnings, management believes that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the foreseeable future to realize the deferred tax assets.

On August 3, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three- for-one split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 200% common stock dividend for shareholders of record as of August 18, 1994. A total of 5,962,640 shares were issued in connection with the split. The stated par value of each share was not changed from $.125. A total of $745,000 was reclassified from the Company's retained earnings account to the Company's common stock account. All share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock split.
(9) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries maintain defined benefit pension plans and make contributions to multi-employer plans covering certain union employees. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have varying types of retirement plans providing benefits for substantially all of their employees.
Pension expense was as follows (in thousands):

Unrecognized net obligation at January 1, 1987 being recognized over 18 years 35 38 -------- -------- Accrued pension costs at December 31 $(3,612) $(2,330) ======== ========
Benefits are based on years of service and average final compensation. For U.S. plans, the Company funds, annually, at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Plan assets consist principally of short-term investments and listed bonds and stocks. Assumptions used to develop data for 1994 and 1993 were as follows:
1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rates 7.3-7.5% 9.0% Annual compensation increases 4.8-7.0% 7.0% Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets 7.5-9.0% 9.0%
The Company provides certain post-retirement benefits (at least temporarily) to a small number of retirees at one of its recently acquired businesses. These amounts have been accrued and have not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all U.S. employees not affected by certain collective bargaining agreements. The Company contributes a matching amount equal to $.50 for each $1.00 of the participant's contribution not in excess of 3% of the participant's annual wages. The contribution expense under this plan was $165,000, $177,000 and $155,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
